“It looks like both of you are pretty lucky.” Annika smirked, but when I gave her a warning look, she became more serious. “You know, lucky to get along so well with the person you’re living with. The man I live with is questionable.”
“Ouch.” Wren rubbed at his chest as if her jab physically hurt him.
“You two are definite couple goals,” Jax told them. “I love how silly you are together. That’s what I want…” Her eyes moved from Annika and Wren over to me. “Someday.”
It was another one of those moments I couldn’t ignore, no matter how hard I tried. Jax definitely had some sort offeelings for me. There was no doubt in my mind. Now the question was just how I could become the type of person who could keep her interest. Someone she wouldn’t grow bored of.
“On that note…” Annika looked down at her wrist as if she was wearing a watch (which she definitely wasn’t). “We should have some cake, so we can head out. Don’t want to overstay our welcome.”
Jax stood to her feet and started walking toward the kitchen. “Cake sounds great, but stay as long as you’d like. You could never overstay your welcome. We love having you here.”
“That’s very nice, but…” Annika stretched her arms above her head and let out a yawn that wasn’t the slightest bit believable. “I’m zonked. I need to get home and go to bed.”
Jax cut the cake into small pieces and handed them around, then we all made small talk while we ate. When Annika and Wren were done, they didn’t waste any time before saying goodbye and heading out.
After the door was shut behind them, Jax looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and slightly downturned lips. “I didn’t say anything to offend them, did I? I felt like we were having a nice time, and then suddenly, they were running out of here.”
I had to think fast, and luckily, I was able to come up with the perfect excuse since Annika and Wren had let Jax know that they were expecting. “Annika told me her pregnancy hormones are making her really horny. Talking about their relationship probably put her in the mood.”
That answer seemed to satisfy Jax, because the smile immediately returned to her face. “Speaking of being in the mood…” She put her hands on my hips and pulled me closer to her. “Your room or mine?”
How did those words alone have my body buzzing in anticipation already? I swear Jax knew exactly how to make me tick, and she did it all the time. “Let’s do your room this time.”
Jax motioned toward her room. “After you, my lady.”
When we were in her room, Jax trapped me against the door and held my hands above my head. “Any requests?”
I would take anything this woman offered me. Everything she did was incredibly sexy and had me melting under her touch, but something about that question really turned me on. “I love when you ask me that.”
“I know.” Jax leaned in and stole a quick kiss before pulling back slightly. “You know what I think?”
I squirmed, trying to free myself from her, but it was no use. Jax was much stronger than she appeared. “I’m sure you’re going to tell me.”
Jax kissed me once again and when she pulled back, there was a shit-eating grin on her face. “I love when you’re sassy. Anyway, I think you like it when I ask if you have requests, because you like making the decision, because you secretly love being in control.”
She was right. I loved feeling like I had my life under control, and something about that definitely translated to the bedroom. I loved taking control. Having Jax at my mercy, doing whatever I asked was such a turn-on. And now I knew exactly what my request was.
I wiggled my hands until I was able to pull them out of Jax’s grip, then used one to gently push her away. I kept my hand on her chest as I forced her to walk backward toward the bed. “You’re right. I do love being in control. That’s why, right now, you’re going to doexactlywhat I say.”
Jax swallowed hard, but the smile never left her face. “Yes, ma’am.”
I pushed her onto the bed, then pointed to the top of it. “Up there. Lay down.”
Jax nodded and crawled backward. “Clothes on or off?”
“Keep them on for now.” I smiled when an idea came to my head. “I think I’ll take mine off though.”
I slowly removed layer by layer. Every time I was tempted to hurry up the process, I looked in Jax’s fiery eyes and forced myself to slow down. I loved how crazy this was making her.
I removed my final piece of clothing—my underwear—and tossed it across the room.
Jax’s eyes followed its path before landing back on me. “Now what?” she asked breathlessly. “Will you be joining me?”
I could tell how much she wanted me to, which was exactly why I was going to wait. I wanted to draw this out until she was dripping for me. “Not yet.” I brought my hand between my legs. “I figured I’d take care of myself first.”
As Jax watched me touch myself, I pretended it was her hand instead of my own. I threw my head back as my fingers caused my clit to become harder and harder.
“Fuck,” Jax groaned. “When can I touch you?”
