He didn't hesitate. "Yeah, Mia. That's exactly how I feel about you."

She bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "I think . . . I think that's how I feel about you, too."

Jax pulled her closer, his arms wrapping around her protectively. "You don't have to be afraid, darling. I've got you, and I'm not going anywhere."

As they returned to their tent and snuggled deep down into their sleeping bags, wrapped in each other's embrace, they let the quiet darkness envelop them. And in that moment, Jax knew without a doubt that he was falling in love with Mia Fiorelli—and he would do whatever it took to protect her and keep her safe in his arms.

Chapter thirteen

Mia

Mia stirred, the morninglight filtering through the tent's fabric just enough to rouse her from sleep. She felt a warm pressure against her back and nestled into it. As she became more aware of her surroundings, she realized that Jax, who was snuggled up behind her, had an erection. An involuntary shiver coursed through her body. She hadn't expected this when they agreed to share the tent.

A mischievous grin spread across her lips. Even through her thick sleeping bag, she could feel how impressively big he was. She squirmed against the hot, hard, warmth of him, making him moan in his sleep.

“Daddy,” she whispered. “Daddy, wake up.”

Jax pressed his hard-on up against her butt, moaning some more.

Unable to resist the urge, Mia instinctively ground against him again, a mix of curiosity and desire coursing through her body.

Just then, Jax grabbed her arms and yanked her farther back, slamming her body against his.

“Good morning, babygirl,” he growled in her ear. “Looks like you made Daddy very, very hard this morning.”

“Morning, Daddy,” Mia squeaked. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—”

Jax slid a hand inside her sleeping bag, splaying his palm out flat over her stomach, pushing her body tight against his, grinding his erection against her ass. “Oh, didn’t you?”

“No,” she murmured. “I mean, yes. I mean, I really want to feel you inside me, Daddy. If you don’t mind.”

"Damn, Mia," Jax said, gently biting her ear lobe. "You know how to make a man feel wanted. But you know, it’s only five in the morning. You woke Daddy up very early."

His hand slid farther down now, tucking inside her panties, and then dipping down between her legs.

“My my. You’re wet as Niagara, little one.”

“Mm-hmm,” Mia moaned, opening her legs so his fingers could slide farther in.

Mia felt the warmth of Jax's breath against her ear as he moaned softly, his voice a seductive mix of amusement and arousal. "Such a naughty girl," he teased, sending shivers down her spine. As his words wrapped around her like a velvet caress, she reveled in the thrill of being called out for her boldness.

"Can't help it," Mia murmured in response, her body betraying her with an involuntary shudder. She never thought she'd enjoy this kind of play, but with Jax, everything seemed to take on a new dimension. “I’m too turned on, Daddy.”

"Really?" Jax's tone held a hint of challenge, igniting a spark of defiance within her. "Let's see how much you can handle then."

Before Mia could react, Jax held her tight, like a snake constricting his prey as his fingers worked on her.

“Don’t you dare come until I say so,” he warned her, as he strummed her with such intensity she thought she might burst.

“I can’t . . . hold on . . . “ she moaned, writhing around in her sleeping bag, trapped under his strong thigh and in the grip of his insistent fingers, cupping her private parts and flicking her clit like she was his for the taking.

“Daddy gets to say when you come,” he said sternly. “This pussy belongs to Daddy now. It’s very, very naughty to grind it against Daddy while he’s sleeping. To make Daddy thick and hard and desperate to fuck as he lies there, dreaming, beside you. You know that, don’t you? You know what a bad girl you’ve been?”

“Yes,” gasped Mia, the wetness pouring out of her as his fingers moved even faster. “Very bad, Daddy. Let me come now, Daddy. Please.”

“Nuh-uh,” said Jax. “Not yet. If you come before I say so, then I’m keeping this hard-on all to myself. If you want Daddy to fuck you, Mia, then you have to play by Daddy’s rules.”

Oh, shit . . .
