Eavie bided her time, making sure to be the last one at the office.Mandy had left just after five, along with the remaining people on their floor.By twenty after, the space was completely silent and at 5:29 PM, she grabbed her coat and bag and made her way to the elevator.Even though she wanted to run down to the garage, Eavie forced herself to go slowly and calmly.
When she reached the garage, she glanced around.A few other cars were parked down there, but no people were around.
Walking to his car, she found Jax leaning against the bumper, waiting for her.When she stopped in front of him, he leaned forward, giving her a quick, sweet kiss as if it were something he did every day.Pulling back, he removed the hand hiding behind his back, revealing a perfect, dark blue rose.Eavie let out a small gasp as a smile spread across her face.
“What’s this?”she asked.
“I saw it, and it made me think of you,” Jax said as she lifted it to her nose to inhale it’s fresh scent.
You have a fire in you that’s as rare and bright as a natural blue rose.
His words from Sunday spun fresh through her mind, making her whole body feel warm.
Grabbing her hand, Jax pulled her toward the passenger door.Opening it, he helped her climb in.When she was settled, he stole one more kiss from her before closing it.
Back at her apartment, he wasted no time getting her clothes off the second the door closed behind them.Not that she was complaining, since Eavie was just as eager to get him naked.As they tore at each other’s clothes, the articles hitting the floor one after the other, he backed her against the wall where he picked her up like he had that afternoon.This time, he immediately lined himself up with her entrance before slamming himself in.It was sexy as hell, and mixed with his absence from the last few days, had Eavie approaching her climax almost instantly.
Jax took her hard and rough against the wall until they both crested their climaxes.Breathing hard, they stood against the wall for a minute before he adjusted his grip and carried her to the bedroom.
An hour later, wrapped in her satin kimono, Eavie stood at her kitchen island, flipping through a magazine.The single blue rose sat in the center of the island in a small, skinny vase.
They’d finally left her bed when hunger had overtaken their need for each other.Sated for the moment, Jax had wandered into her bathroom as she’d come out to find her phone, on a mission to order something for dinner.
Reading an article in this month’s Vogue, she heard Jax pad his way through her living room to stand behind her.In a way she was getting used to, he wrapped his thick, muscled arms around her waist and placed a kiss in the crook of her neck.
“What did you order for dinner?”he asked.
“Greek,” she answered, turning to give his cheek a peck before she returned to the article she was reading.
As they stood in companionable silence, Jax still wrapped around her, her phone started buzzing on the counter next to her magazine.
Glancing over, she sawAustinflash across the screen.She felt Jax’s arms tense around her.
“Why is he calling you?”he growled, his voice laced with a dangerous, possessive edge that had Eavie’s toes curling.
God, what was it about him that made her find his possessiveness so goddamn hot?
“Ah,” she said, trying to keep the quiver of excitement from her voice.“He said he would call to set up another date when he got back from his trip.”
“And why does he think he’ll be getting another date?”
“Because that was before you and I…” She was unsure how to describe what was happening between them.
He grunted as he tightened his grip on her.When the call went to voicemail, Jax spun her around and threw her over his shoulder.
She squealed in surprise.“Jax!”she said, laughing at his overt display.
He marched toward her bedroom, one hand roaming up over her ass, where he squeezed the mound.“I think I need to remind you who you belong to,” he said through clenched teeth, obviously feeling like he needed to stake his claim.
Eavie chuckled at the palpable jealousy that was radiating off him.“Jax,” she said again, trying to sound serious despite the playfulness she was feeling.“Dinner’s going to be here soon!”
“Don’t worry,” he said, his voice vibrating through her.“I only need a few minutes to remind you who owns this pussy.”
Eavie sucked in a sharp breath at the dirty promise as he carried her into her bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
