Jax jogged up the stairs of the theatre, his eyes focused on the cuff
link that just refused to stay. He heard the bell signifying that
there were only 10 minutes before the curtain call. He looked around,
wondering if Keesha just went on upstairs to the VIP box to wait. She
had gone on early without him, making him promise he would come when
their preperation was interrupted by a phone call from his dad.
"Damn it..." he mumbled as he heard the clatter of silver dropping to
the floor. He bent down, picking the link up and then started to stand
once more...all of a sudden his eyes focused on the view which suddenly
came in front of him.
"Wow." His gaze travelled slowly up the length of the slender leg
exposed by the side slit of the long golden dress.
"You know, I don't think my husband would appreciate your attentions,
Sir."
Jax stood straight once more. "Then he should never had left you
alone." Keesha smiled, reaching out and taking the cuff link from him.
Last he had seen, she was still in her underwear, walking around the
house in her heels. This end result was staggering.
"He trusts me." she stated, her voice drawing him out of his revelry.
With a wink she easily placed the link through the button hole,
clipping it. "Besides, you must not have seen my husband looking oh
so....perfect..." she stared up at him. "...in his tuxedo."
"Thank you." he whispered. "Ready?" he held out his hand as the bell
rang again.
"Ready." she took his hand and he led her to the VIP entrance.
Keesha placed her program from the evenings dance recital carefully in
the wooden box on the vanity Jax recently had moved from her old room
into theirs. She smiled as she glanced through the other items inside.
The small note from Jax, thanking her for letting him spend the night
in her hotel room the night of the blizzard.
The hotel room key she convinced the clerk to let her have from the
honeymoon suite of the Paris hotel.
The pearl necklace and earrings he had bought for her.
Little *I love you* messages she would find sometimes in her briefcase
when she missed seeing him in the morning.
Aside from the jewelry of course, why she kept these other things,
especially in the beginning when there was nothing but a plan between
them, she would never know.
Yet, at the same time, she did know.
Hearing the bathroom door beginning to open, she closed and locked the
box, moving away from the vanity.
Jax turned out the light and walked back into the bedroom. "That was
an excellent idea. Thank you."
Keesha watched as he pulled the covers back, and got into the bed,
leaving the cover open and the comforter on the floor. "I thought you
could use a distraction for the evening. Though next time, don't make
me have to work so hard to convince you to come. I never knew someone
who was so spur of the moment would put up such a fuss at going out the
very last minute."
Jax shrugged. "I can't stand not knowing what to do." he admitted.
"That's why sometimes, you just need to take some time for yourself,
and live. I thought I told you that already. Living can clear the
head you know..." her voice trailed off and she looked down at the
ground, a wicked smile growing.
"What?" Jax asked cautiously.
"Just remembering...you know last time you wore that to bed, I had all
sorts of thoughts running through my mind."
"This?" he looked down at his simple cotton t-shirt and matching white
boxers.
"That's what you wore at the hotel...during the blizzard."
"Ah." he grinned. "So, I had your attention way back then?" he teased.
"Why do you think I didn't put up a fuss when you first insisted on
sleeping on the floor next to the sofa bed...I didn't know what I was
capable of. And I was really tempted to find out."
Keesha's smile grew as she watched Jax actually become slightly
embarrassed by her admission. "Okay..." he shook his head and chuckled.
"And you know..."
Jax laughed as Keesha jumped into the bed.
"Now..." she continued, hovering above him. The teasing stopped and she
lowered herself on top of him, whispering slowly in his ear. "...I can
do all of those things."
"Perhaps..." Jax wrapped his arms around her and she looked over at
him, gazing into the sparkling blue of his eyes. "Then again..."
This time it was her turn to laugh as he flipped her over suddenly.
"...maybe there are things I want to do first...like look at you and
marvel at how lovely you are...or..." he reached out and touched her
face. "...touch you, and wonder how your skin can be so very
soft...or..." he buryied his face against the side of her neck,
mumbling "...take in your enchanting scent...which always then causes
me to need to taste you..." he finished, kissing her neck lightly.
Keesha sighed, running her fingers through his hair. "Why do you
always have to have your way?" she trailed her fingers down his back,
and then her hands went under the t-shirt, travelling back up the bare
skin slowly. Jax took her earlobe between his teeth, pulling on it
gently before sucking on the sensitive area on her neck below. She
arched slightly, whispering his name.
"That's why." Jax answered against her lips before kissing them
fiercely.
Keesha moaned and returned his kiss hungrily. She tore away from Jax,
removing his shirt quickly and then kissing him again. Without
breaking off the kiss, they rolled over, placing her on top once more
and she reached behind her, unclasping and taking off her bra. Jax
trapped his fingers inside the waistband of her underwear, pulling them
down slightly. Reluctantly ending the kiss, she pushed herself up,
tearing the material away from her body as he yanked his boxers away
from his own. He took a deep breath, reaching up and cupping her face
in his hands, leading her towards him. She laid down fully on top of
him once more, and they kissed again passionately.
Following his lead, Keesha slowed her kisses, as they both tried to
somewhat cool their desire. His fingers trailed down her face and he
wrapped his arms around her, managing to pull her body even further
into his. Jax groaned as she shifted, drawing herself up his body
slightly. She continued kissing him gently, running her fingers
through the sides of his hair.
Jax returned her kisses deeply, allowing himself to drown in the taste
of her lips. Keesha shuddered and he responded, his hardness beginning
to throb beneath her.
With one last kiss, Keesha pulled her mouth away from his. Jax opened
his eyes to hers. "I love you." she smiled. "I think from that very
first night I've loved you." she found herself saying.
Jax stared at her, stating seriously. "That's why I can't fully wish
we never went after Sonny. Going after Sonny brought us together. And
I wouldn't change that for anyone in the world. Because it gave me the
chance to love you...and I do. More and more as each minute passes."
he kissed her tenderly.
Jax leaned up, leading Keesha to wrap her legs around him. He lowered
his head, kissing her neck and got up from the bed, lifting her.
Wondering what he was doing she opened her eyes. He carried her away
from the bed, laying her gently down on the comforter on the floor.
She giggled, causing him to laugh before yanking the cover sheet from
the bed. He wrapped it around his shouders and rested back on top of
her again. "Hi." he smiled, giving her lips a loving peck.
"Hi." Keesha bit her the bottom inside corner her lip with a small
grin, looking down at Jax as he disappeared under the sheet, trailing
butterfly kisses down her chest. She closed her eyes, inhaling
sharply as his tongue traced a circle around her breast. He took it
into his mouth, sucking on it, while running his tongue slowly on the
underside.
Not even allowing Keesha to get used to that sensation, his fingers
brushed over her stomach lightly and she moaned. Jax kissed his way
over to her other breast, repeating his actions. This time his other
hand moved to her thigh and travelled up, his fingers inserting into
her, teasing her provacatively.
Keesha arched towards him. "Jax...please..." she managed to whisper,
hoping he would hear her...knowing she wouldn't be able to stand much
more.
Jax could feel her body tighten, and his desire for her grew. He knew
he wouldn't be able to control himself much longer, and he could tell
Keesha was ready for him. He came back up from underneath the sheets,
just as she was repeating her plea.
"Please what?" he went to kiss her, but got sidetracked. He bent and
licked the perspiration from the side of her neck.
Keesha led his face to hers, kissing him in response. Jax entered her
quickly and she wrapped her arms tightly around him as he filled her
completely. Gradually she loosened her grip, sliding her hands down
his back.
Keesha groaned as they began moving together. She kissed Jax again so
passionately she left him breathless, and he had to pull his mouth from
hers. He stopped moving within her and touched her mouth, tracing the
outline of her lips with his thumb. She ran her tongue over it and
then, with a devilish grin, took it into her mouth, sucking on it
suggestively.
Jax closed his eyes again. "Next time." he promised them both with a
growl, and kissed Keesha once more. He buryied his face against the
side of her neck, his breathing harsh, his heart beat racing as they
began moving together again, her fingers running through the back of
his hair.
Jax moaned deeply as he felt himself getting close....with one last
powerful stroke he called her name as he climaxed, shuddering as she
arched against him once more, groaning with her release.
Jax shifted from on top of her, gathering her to him. Keesha rested
her head against his chest, waiting for sleep to claim her as he played
with her fingers. "Thank you." he whispered.
She leaned up to look into his eyes, about ready to ask him what he was
thanking her for. But as she stared at him she decided just to tell
him once more. "I love you." she smiled.
