TWENTY-THREE

Harley

I think I’m falling in love with Jax Stone. After the shower hook-up, he took the time to wash my hair. His fingers meticulously massaged my scalp while shampooing, rinsing, conditioning, and rinsing again.

When we were finished, he watched me from the bed as I tended to my hair routine. His eyes never left me as I applied detangler, an oil for frizz control, and a small amount of curl cream before wrapping my hair into a large t-shirt.

Once we were in bed together, he wrapped me in his arms while I rested my head on his chest. His fingertips danced up and down my spine until I drifted to sleep there in his embrace. With each stroke of those long fingers, I can’t help but think about how it feels so much better than I imagined in my head.

Never in my life have I felt so at peace. He makes me feel safe and loved in a way that my own parents never have. His touch is a place I can see myself getting lost in. One that I never want to leave.

“You ready?” Jax asks from the bathroom doorway.

I take one last glance over in the mirror before turning toward him. When I asked him what I should wear to his parents for lunch, he told me to wear what I wouldn’t be allowed to wear at my own parent’s home.

I chose a light blue collared dress. Two diamond shapes are cut out of both sides, showing off my ribcage and hip bones. The hem falls just above my knees, swaying with every move. I turn, finding Jax’s eyes roaming over me starting at my toes and hovering at my lips. His nostrils flare and his eyes darken simultaneously.

“Red is definitely my favorite fucking color,” he murmurs, bending to kiss my forehead.

“It’s just lipstick,” I tell him, shaking my head with a smile.

“Not when I’m thinking about how great your lips will look wrapped around my cock,” he growls in my ear.

“We can revisit that later.” I pat my hand on his chest. “We need to be on time.”

“Did you plan to torture me with this dress all day?”

I walk past him into his bedroom. Slipping my feet into my converse shoes, I say nonchalantly, “Maybe.”

Standing up straight, I look at Jax where he leans in the doorway. His hair is perfectly unkempt, sticking up in ways I now know took him twenty minutes to achieve. He’s clean-shaven. Something that I don’t think I’ll ever get used to. Dark denim jeans cling to him in the most delectable way. The forest green button-up shirt stretches over his arms and chest, molding to his skin.

“What?” The corner of his mouth tips up.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be used to the clean shaved look on you,” I admit, closing the space between us.

His fingers skim the bare skin of my side before he settles his hand at the small of my back. Those dark eyes flick back and forth between mine.
