Chapter 24

Amber

It wasn’t easy crawling out of his warm arms to get into a car and travel to a place I didn’t want to go. Jax was kind, offering to drive so that I didn’t have to. He’d even opened the door for me, and kissed my hand before I climbed inside.

After we stopped by my place so that I could grab my things, we set out to Ohio to see my parents. I couldn’t stop thinking about sleeping topless next to him, and how it felt to have his warm arms tightly around me, making certain that nothing could hurt me.

We’d made it an hour before either of us woke up enough to have a logical conversation. I think in some ways Jax was avoiding speaking because he feared I’d bring up his phone call with his brother and Reese.

“Did you want to stop for coffee?” I asked.

Jax stayed focused on the road when he spoke. “We can do whatever you want. I’m your chauffer, your wish is my command. If you need to pee, I’ll find you a toilet. If you’re hungry, I’ll feed you. If you’re horny..”

I smiled and laced my hand with his, catching his gaze when he looked over at me momentarily. “I’m glad you’re with me, Jax. It’s going to make it easier.”

“It feels good to be needed. For a while I’ve felt like I couldn’t find a place where I belonged. It doesn’t hurt that you’re so damn sexy. I mean, you give me ample things to daydream about, and jerk off to.” He chuckled. “That came out wrong. Look, the point is that I think you’re adorable, whether you’re laughing, or falling to pieces.”

I smiled, appreciating how he found even the worst parts about me beautiful. “I feel the same about you.”

“Are you worried about this weekend?”

I shrugged. “Yes. I really am. You’ve never met them. They’re vicious.”

“Give me the run down. What do I need to know?”

Jax wanting to help eased my struggles. It was like he knew exactly what I was feeling, giving me yet another reason to be crazy about him. “My dad barely speaks. He’s always been about business. He made the rules when we were children, and the punishments when we didn’t listen. Since he worked ridiculous hours, my mother was pretty much a single parent most of the time. When Meg and I were teenagers she was nicer. We’d all go shopping, and travel to fancy cities for weekend getaways. She enjoys taking care of herself, and making sure that she always looks her best. Growing up we only wore designer brand clothing. I even got a fancy car when I turned sixteen.”

“Lucky,” Jax announced. “I got a hand-me-down that I had to share with Jake, granted we did do everything together back then.”

“It was great, until my whole life came crashing down. The moment my sister took her last breath they changed. They’re cold and distant, and nothing I seem to do is good enough. It’s like they forgot how to love me.
