Chapter Twenty-Two

Because this would hurt Teagan. Once she found out what he’d done to her father. Once Eric made good on his threat. Jaxon wasn’t sure how he was going to do it. Or when. But he knew he’d gone and pissed Eric off by getting involved with Teagan. And he’d somehow given him another way to hurt him. To keep hurting him. Eric could reveal this one bit of information and simultaneously destroy the pride Mr. Madden had in him, his friendship with Brad, and his relationship with Teagan, all in one horrible swoop.

He pressed his lips together as he pulled into the drive of his house. He hit the curb funny and the resulting bump rattled his teeth, causing him to bite down painfully on his bottom lip. He jammed the truck into park and climbed out, jingling his keys to find the right one to open the front door, determined to stop thinking about Eric and his threats the second he crossed the threshold.

It smelled like paint and wallpaper glue when he first opened it. The smell grounded him in the present and while the worries were still there, they felt muted as he forced himself to take stock of everything he’d done.

There couldn’t be that much left to do, right? He feverishly looked around the living room. He had to call HVAC to get the heating fixed. But besides that, he was basically finished, right? He walked through the house, stopping in the kitchen for a long moment before turning and walking towards the master bedroom.

It was close to nine a.m. by now. That meant he was down to six hours until he could see Teagan again. The thought lightened his heart. If he could just push the rest of that stuff down and keep his mind on her, he could manage.

So he let his mind wander while he strolled into the master bedroom and gazed up at the ceiling. When he looked up, he thought about the way she’d looked up at him, her blue eyes wide and dark while he worked his fingers in and out of her, helping her reach her peak with just his touch and nothing more. He smirked a little, eyes blinking up at the popcorn ceiling, but his mind was miles away with her in bed. It was hard not to feel like a fucking sex god when she looked at him like that.

The thing was, he’d been alright before her. Alright, but not spectacular. The women he was with never complained, but he knew he could do better, he just hadn’t really felt pushed to do better. No need to fix what wasn’t broken, right? But there was something about the way she touched him, gripped his hair, said his name… it just made him better. At everything. He wasn’t like this with any of the others. Just her.

He swallowed thickly and let his eyes focus on the ceiling. He still had to knock all this out and vault the ceiling.
