Jax slowly shook his head and scrubbed a hand across his jaw. “Wow. This whole time, I thought it was your mom.”
With another laugh, I turned and headed toward my bed, knowing Jax would follow. This had become a pattern for us every night for the last several months. He’d sneak up to my room late at night, I’d briefly pretend to be scandalized, and then we’d spend the rest of the night together until Jax sneaked out again at the crack of dawn.
It wasn’t easy to sneak around without getting caught, because our new house was much smaller than the Kingsley mansion in Crown Point. It felt much more ‘homey’, though—especially as there was no risk of us getting thrown out on our asses.
After George was arrested along with the rest of the PTO five months ago, his lawyers presented us with a formal eviction notice to ensure that we’d never return to his mansion (as if we’d ever want to go back there anyway). Mom started working on securing some loans, and she eventually found us a new place up in Woodsen’s Bay.
The old ranch-style place was cheap enough that she could afford the mortgage along with her loan repayments for the small pharmacy she’d taken over in town, and she still had enough left over to take care of me along with Jax and Erin, whose respective PTO parents were currently sitting in jail awaiting trial.
Neither one of them could contribute much as their trust funds had been frozen along with their family’s other assets, so both of them had offered to get part-time jobs to help out, but Mom insisted that we all remain unemployed for the rest of senior year so we could focus on the remainder of our education as much as possible.
All three of us were at Woodsen’s Bay High to complete the year now that CPA had shuttered due to the massive PTO scandal. A lot of other ex-CPA students had wound up at Woodsen’s Bay High too, while others had scattered to schools farther afield.
Woodsen’s Bay High wasn’t a bad school to attend. It was public and therefore didn’t carry the same prestige that CPA once did, but it was a decent place with good teachers, and thankfully there were no crushing conspiracies or scandals lurking around every corner. It was just a regular old high school, which was exactly what Jax, Erin, and I needed after all the upheaval we’d faced at CPA.
“Have you slept at all tonight?” Jax asked, forehead crinkling with concern as he looked down at me.
I shook my head and wiped my bleary eyes. “Nope. I’ve just been lying in bed thinking. How about you?”
“No sleep for me.”
“Why?”
He raised a roguish brow. “Couldn’t stop thinking about what I want to do to you,” he said, reaching around to slap me on the ass.
I let out a reflexive yelp. Then I clamped a hand down over my lips, eyes widening. “Shit,” I whispered through my fingers. “That was loud.”
“Relax,” Jax said, pulling me into a warm embrace. “I’m pretty sure your mom knows exactly what we’re getting up to every night. She’s always known that we’re together.”
My cheeks flushed with heat. “I know. But still, I don’t want her to walk in here and see us—”
“See uswhat?” Jax muttered against my ear, hands roaming beneath my satin pajama top.
“Doing this,” I replied breathlessly, tilting my head back so his mouth could pepper kisses along my throat and collarbone.
His warm lips moved upward before crashing against mine in a kiss so hot I could picture flames dancing around us and licking their way up the walls. I moaned into his mouth and moved a hand down to his boxers, palming the hardness I felt beneath the soft fabric. At the same time, Jax yanked on the thin satin straps of my top, pulling it down to expose my chest to the cool night air. My shorts followed seconds later, landing on the floor at my feet.
Jax’s hands squeezed my breasts, and then he broke away from the kiss and moved his mouth downward again, teasing a nipple with his tongue.
“Oh, god…” I moaned, head lolling back. “Keep doing that.”
“God, I’ve missed this so fucking much,” he rasped in response.
“It’s only been a few hours since we last did this,” I whispered, core pulsing as he sucked my other nipple into his hot mouth.
“A few hours too many.” He rose back up to his full height, lips curling in a playful smirk. “I miss this body of yours every time I’m not touching it.”
I let out another moan. “Show me how much.”
Jax picked me up in his strong arms and walked me over to my desk. My arms wound around his neck as he set me on the edge and murmured in my ear. “Spread your legs.”
I did what he told me as his hands slid under my ass, angling me into the right position. His cock brushed up against me, and then he drove inside me in one powerful thrust. My eyes widened, and I let out a strangled sound. “Oh,fuck.”
Jax’s groan was low and feral. “You feel so fucking good.”
Pulling back, he slammed into me again, harder this time. Then again, and again. My desk started to bump up against the wall, making a loud clunking sound in rhythm with Jax’s thrusts.
“Harder,” I whispered, nails raking down his back. “Fuck me harder.”
