CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

- Dani -

A pint-sized princess, complete with a tiara, sparkling shoes and a pink cape, comes charging in behind her mom and attaches herself to Jax’s leg. He laughs, picks her up and swings her around.

Oh my God. Jax with a kid. My insides flutter, and I have to fight to clear the images taking root in my mind: Jax with a family. With a daughter. With our daughter.

Shut the fuck up, Danielle!

If I could punch myself in the face right now, I would. I only met Jax three months ago. We’ve had two hot hookups, one of which he doesn’t even remember, and I’m sitting here in crazy-land.

He points to the plate her mom is holding. “Chloe, did you make these cookies all by yourself?”

Her mom sighs and shakes her head as Chloe giggles. “Mommy helped. But I did the fwosting.”

Blonde curls bob on her little head, and when she spots me, she kicks out of Jax’s hold and beelines over to the couch. She looks at me sideways, appraising me. “You’re pwetty. Are you Jax’s gulfwend?’

My mouth drops open, and I wish she weren’t so cute so I could toss her back into the hallway, but her mom comes to the rescue.

“Honey, not every girl you meet here is Jax’s girlfriend,” Hannah says.

Ouch. Lest I forget about the hordes of other women milling about in his life.

She turns to me. “Sorry, she’s going through this weird stage where she thinks every female is a mom or girlfriend.”

Plastering on a smile, I shrug like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many times this has happened—Hannah coming over while there’s some random girl on Jax’s couch with rumpled clothes. My heart squeezes in my chest.

While I understand what Jax told me, that he wasn’t seeing anyone, I don’t know if that means the same in his screw-everything-with-two-legs world as it does in mine. Does this mean he’s not having sex with anyone now or that he only messes around a little?

Because I get that he doesn’t do the girlfriend thing. It’s not as though those sexts have stopped coming. His stupid phone lights up every couple of hours with messages from a different girl. He ignores them all, but still.

Hannah’s eyes pass over me, a small smile tilting up her lips.

God, I can only imagine what I look like right now. I quickly run my hand over my head trying to smooth down the just-fucked hair. Not that we did the deed or even came close, but I know how my face looks when I’m worked up.

She lifts her daughter into her arms and turns back to me.

“Hi, I’m Hannah. I’ll just introduce myself since Jax is too rude to do it himself.”

I laugh softly, the kind of laugh you do when you’re trying to be casual and pretend you’re not dying, and Jax shrugs as he takes a huge bite out of a cookie. With a mouthful of food, he says, “Hannah, this is Dani. Dani, Hannah.”

Hannah snorts.
