Chapter 17 – JAX

One last night. A blissful, perfect night with her in my arms, her breathing steady, her heartbeat reassuring against my chest. It feels so goddamn good I’m pretty sure I’ll have trouble sleeping without Rubi beside me in the future.

We wake up in the early morning, and I refuse to get up. Rubi seems to be of the same mind, because she snuggles closer to me, holding me as tightly as her small arms can manage. I can’t stop looking at her, kissing her, thinking about her.

She’s possessed my mind and body, and I’m afraid it’s too late to change that now. And that fucking scares me more than anything in my life.

Finally, at around noon, we both know we can’t put this off any longer. Tony has already left a message on Rubi’s voicemail, letting us know he’s returning with my mother in the early afternoon.

So we get up, grudgingly getting ready. We come to a stop in front of the door that leads to Rubi’s bedroom, looking at each other with a heavy dose of awkwardness. I don’t think either of us wants this moment to end.

I wish I could keep her in this secret room, make the beach house our happy place … No judgment. No witnesses. Just her body and mine, our lips crushed together.

“I guess we should be in our own rooms when they come home,” I tell her hesitantly, and she nods, since we both know it’s the right thing to do.

Tony’s a protective man, and I’m sure any guy who had feelings for his daughter would be in trouble. The fact that I’m Rubi’s stepbrother pretty much condemns me from the start.

“I should go then,” I say more firmly, but my eyes are asking Rubi to say no. When she raises her eyes to me, her gaze is full of sadness. “What’s wrong, darlin’?” I ask her.

“I just…” She breathes a heavy sigh, and I take a step closer. My fingers travel up her arm, leaving goose bumps in their wake on her perfect skin.

“What?” I ask her, needing her to confide in me. And I know she will, the change in her already remarkable after just a few short days together. She’s a different girl, and the thought of how much better she could get with my help makes me happy.

“I’m worried,” she admits, her voice breaking over the words. “I’m worried this ends now. You got me, you didn’t have time to grow tired of me, so it would be perfect … To just cut it off, before it hurts even more.”

She flutters her eyelashes in an almost violent way, and I tip her chin backwards with my fingers, making my little doll look at me. “Stop, Rubi,” I order her. “You’re saying that so you don’t get hurt.”

She tries to look away, but my fingers slide over her lips next and her eyes become glued to mine, her mouth parting in a sigh. “I know you still want me,” I say confidently, but before she can roll her eyes, I go on.
