Number two, if Jax had pulled something like that off, he’d have owned up to it by now…at least, I thought he would have. Then again, the last time I saw him was at my house the morning after he’d rearranged Karl’s testicles a week ago, so maybe he was waiting until our next meeting to deliver his “I kissed you and you didn’t know it” speech.
Of all the possible kiss explanations, Jax as the kiss ninja made the most sense. It would explain the fact that Drew didn’t seem at all phased by what had happened during the haunted adventure, and—despite his name—was nothing but a gentleman the rest of the night. We’d stopped for hot chocolate after the mine and Drew even bought my drink. Though if he’d stolen a kiss in the dark and still wasn’t owning up to it, hot chocolate was the least he could do.
After calling me sweetheart, “Jason” had terrorized me a bit more before letting me leave with Brynn and the boys. If Jax really had kissed me, he’d broken the rules by touching me—twice: once during the kiss, and again as Jason. A thrill of excitement fluttered through me. Maybe he did like me? I was also a little pissed because why kiss me in the dark, instead of kissing me in a normal lighted area where we could both be privy to the lip lock, and the lead up? You only get one first kiss with a man; it’s really not something you want screwed up. If we’d had a magical moment, at least one of us was unaware of the identity of the other magic maker. That seemed grossly unfair, and gave him the upper hand. I didn’t like that. I preferred to be in control of situations.
“I just wish I knew if it was him,” I said to Brynn. We were doing yoga in the living room, trying to decompress from the weekend. Which meant I was trying to relax, and Brynn was trying to shake a hangover from her second date with Chet on Saturday night.
“Well, it wasn’t Drew,” she said. “I asked.”
“You asked?” My mouth hung open as I switched into Warrior Two pose. “I can’t believe you asked!”
She lifted a shoulder, concentrating on her balance. “Drew was there when I got up this morning, so I took advantage of the situation.”
“Yeah, I noticed you didn’t come home last night. So, are you and Chet an item now, or what?”
She rolled her eyes as she changed positions. “When am I ever an item with anyone, Syd? You know I’m just having fun.”
“You had fun with Chet two nights in a row. That’s unusual for you.”
“Chet’s man parts are unusual. They warranted further investigation…you know, for my research .”
I laughed and shook my head. “You’re using research as an excuse for a lot lately. I take it the info you got from ‘the wind’ was correct, then?”
Her lips stretched into a smile. “It was. And Chet might be my new go-to booty call. I’m sure Drew would like to be yours. He seemed interested, and was pretty deflated when I told him someone else had ninja kissed you on his date.”
“Ninja kiss” was even funnier when someone said it out loud, and it wasn’t just in my head. “I can’t believe you told him that, either. But it is pretty funny. His date got stolen right under his nose and he had no clue.”
She laughed. “Did you even get Drew’s number?”
“No. He was a nice guy, and hot—so good job on that—I’m just not really interested.”
“Yeah…that’s because you’re interested in a guy who pretends to be a chainsaw wielding psycho killer, and probably stalks the bowels of the earth searching for his next conquest—like an evil dragon. Congratulations on falling for Smaug. How many girls do you think Blue Eyes kissed in the dark Friday night besides you?”
I frowned. “I hadn’t thought about that.” I didn’t want to think about it now, either. Surely, he had girls interested in him. With his face and biteable ass, he probably got hit on hourly. The question was whether he followed through on any of the
