stiffly.
“I dunno…much muchness.”
“You’re a very nasty little girl.”
I smile broadly. “I know, right?”
We pick up some meat, salad and pasta; as well as some chips and dips before heading home. I take the groceries into the kitchen and begin unloading them. Jax follows me in and shuffles about looking for barbeque equipment.
“You got a barbeque, JADE?” He asks, in an odd, still playful tone.
“Sure JAX, I do. Out back.” I grin, oh yes, I love to play with my pirate.
“Matches?”
“Sure, make sure they COME back though.”
Jax walks over, and I back into the counter top. He puts his hands either side of me, trapping me in and lowers his face to mine.
“Careful little princess, I am in a giving mood tonight. I might just show you, how hard I can come or maybe, I will starve you of it until your begging to teach you a lesson. I said your little mouth would get you in trouble, maybe it’s time we played that card.”
“No,” I whisper. “You love me too much.”
He grins. “Not enough to keep you safe of my punishment. Lock your door tonight little girl, or I might come and play.”
He turns to walk out, grasping a packet of matches. He looks over his shoulder. “Oh and I play HARD.”
I make an odd little sound. Oh god, he is joking? Right? Should I actually lock my door? He wouldn’t…no, of course he wouldn’t. I finish up the salads and mix some pasta with chopped onions, chives, peppers, some dressing and mushrooms. I pick up the bowls and carry them outside, my gaze falling on Jax. Damn, he is yummy. All…manly and rugged, cooking a barbeque. I just want to kneel before him and lick him from head to toe.
He turns then, as though I am saying my thoughts out loud. I jump, startled and nearly up end my salads. My father and Jack glance at me with confused expressions. Blushing, I put the salads on the table before sitting beside Jax’s parents, who were cooing all over Lilly. Layla had picked her up and brought her home.
“Hi mummy,” She smiles, “ Granddad said he would take me to the zoo, can I go, please?”
I glance at Jax’s father. “Um sure, if its ok with daddy.”
“Daddy, can I please?”
“Sure baby girl, go ahead.”
“Oh yay! Granddad can we go tomorrow?”
“We sure can, perhaps we can stop for ice cream too?”
“Oh yes please.”
“So Jade, what do you do for a living?” Amber asks me.
“Only working at a bar for now, I am studying to be a veterinary nurse, so I am hoping to get a job doing that once I am done.”
“How marvelous . And how are you liking California?”
“I don’t mind it, a little different from Russia.”
She blinks and smiles, nervously. “Right, I heard you are…a princess.”
“No, not really. Mack is my father, so by blood I am not a princess.”
“Still.” She says, her eyes wide.
“How’d you like being on the ship?” Rusty asks me.
“It was nice, I love the crew. The Captain’s a jock strap though.”
Jax snorts and continues cooking. Rusty laughs and it sounds oddly like Jax’s boisterous laugh.
“He is a handful.”
“Uh huh, bastard thinks its ok to tie and spank a girl.”
Jax spits his beer out, everywhere. Everybody erupts in fits of laughter, except Jack who is glaring at me. I smirk as Jax turns to face me, eyes dancing with challenge.
“Careful princess.” He warns, grinning.
I laugh and head inside to refill my drink. Layla bounds in behind me.
“So what happened?” She asks, eye’s wide.
“With what?”
“With you and Jax? I heard he isn’t with Sammy anymore. Are you two together?”
“Not sure. They broke up; she didn’t want to share anymore and he, well, told her he was not going to change.”
“Is it because of you?”
“I don’t know but I kind of feel really guilty. Like it’s my fault.”
“Oh honey, no. He wanted it too, and you said they had an odd relationship. You can’t blame yourself for that.”
“I suppose.”
