Jax

I'm still buzzing from my run-in with Ki when I pull up outside her father's house hours later.

This morning, I'd convinced myself that scaring her off with words was enough to satisfy my need for revenge.

But seeing her at the bar, leisurely drinking a beer with Bree, took me back to a time when I'd have laid down my life for her. The memory of her not being satisfied fueled my anger, and I fixated on making her feel the same pain.

Now, after cooling off, I'm not so sure what I want. For a year, I told myself all kinds of lies about my feelings for Ki. Now, with her here, there is no hiding. No refuge. No escaping the fact that I can't stay away from her, no matter how hard I try.

The house in front of me is dark, except for the faint light coming from Kileigh's bedroom window. A shadow moves across the light before two fingers pry a small portion of the blinds apart.

I'm torn between testing how far Ki will take this proposition and being the one to end it before it starts. Ki may have fucked me over a year ago, but I could never hurt her. Not even after the pain she's caused me.

Before I can make a decision, the front door opens, and Ki steps outside. She's wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top, and her hair is pulled back in a messy bun. Even in the dim light, I catch the trepidation in her eyes.

"I wondered if you'd changed your mind," she says, her voice barely above a whisper.

I shake my head. I'm half an hour late because I circled the neighborhood three times trying to talk myself out of coming."No, just had other things to do first."

"The club?" she asks.

Of course, that'd be her first thought. When we were together, club business took priority over everything, including my plans with Ki. I took it for granted that she understood, being the daughter of a founding member.

But tonight, after a little advice from Bree, I'm trying to see things from Ki's perspective. I leave my bike on the street and walk the short path to her door. "Would it make a difference if it was?"

"Maybe." She's still standing in the doorway, and when I reach it, I regret my next breath. Ki always smells of coconuts, and tonight that intoxicating scent is accompanied by the rich undertones of honey and vanilla.

My lungs burn for another whiff of the potent mix.

"Come inside," she says, glancing at my busted knuckles when I reach for the knob. "Shit, Jax. I thought someone was going to clean that up for you?"

I wait until I'm inside to answer. "I'm the least banged up. Doc needed to focus on the others."

Ki reaches for my hand, and I flinch, covering my knuckles with my free palm. "It's nothing."

"It's not nothing." She pulls my hand free and runs her fingertips over the gashes, grinning when I wince from the sting.
