Chapter 94

Jax finished tucking Laurence in as Keesha stood slowly from the rocking chair.

"Well..." Jax walked over to his daughter as Keesha craddeled her. "Little Jocelyn Jacks decides to grace us with some silence." He smiled. "She's stubborn just like her Mum..." he cooed as he touched the little girl's cheek.

"Mum would smack Daddy if she didn't have Jocelyn..." Keesha promised, laying her gently down in the crib next to Laurence's new bed in the nursery.

"She looks like you." Jax smiled. "All the way down to the hair...how many babies do you know with a full head of hair?" He grinned, pushing Jocely's dirty blonde locks back with his fingers. "Then of course are those lovely brown eyes..."

"Shh...as much as I love looking into them, I am much happier that her eyes are shut in sleep for once today." They kissed the children good night and left the room.

"Then what?" Keesha finished changing for bed. She sat down on the edge,looking as Jax came in from the master bath.

"Does all this wheeling and dealing I do really interest you?"

"If it didn't I wouldn't ask."

Jax smiled. "Let's just say that I can taste the win right at this very moment."

"Oooh." Keesha breathed with a wink. "I just love a man who wins."

"Really?" Jax walked over to Keesha, kneeling down in front of her so he could look into her eyes. He took her hands, playing with her fingers. He missed her. Now that they finally had Jocelyn, there were two young children in the house. Between work and day to day living, one and sometimes both of them were always exhausted. And the few times they weren't, generally they were distracted by Jocelyn, who still rarely slept through the night.

It had been awhile since he and Keesha had made love-Jax missed being with her. "Tired?"

"No." Keesha shook her head.

"Then, would you care to show me how much you love a winner?" he ventured. Keesha let go of one of his hands, using hers to touch his cheek gently. "You haven't won yet..." she teased, unaware.

"I love it when you do that." Jax interrupted with a mumble as he closed his eyes to her touch.

Keesha's smile faded. "I miss you," she admitted with a whisper. She ran her fingers around the contours of his face.

Jax opened his eyes and their gazes locked. She traced his lips with her fingertips, biting the edge of her own lips absently.

"I miss you as well.." Jax mumbled leaning up and brushing his lips gently across hers. "I miss the feel of your lips against mine..." he sighed against them before kissing Keesha gently. Her eyelids fluttered closed and she returned his kiss, instantly becoming swept away by his mouth's caress.

"Jax..." Keesha breathed as he pulled away, nuzzling against her throat.

"You have no idea how much I've miss you..." he answered. She ran her fingers through his hair, her breath catching as he slowly tasted the skin of her throat. Her light scent seemed to invade every part of him, and all he wanted was....

With a moan, Jax led her face down towards his, kissing her passionately.

Keesha leaned back into the bed as Jax pulled himself up from the floor, resting on top of her. He kissed her again, his fingers drawing the straps of her nightgown down her shoulders...

Jax shook his head, having to laugh at the timing as this time Laurence's voice called through the baby moniter. "Laurence wants you..." With a reluctant groan he pushed himself off of Keesha. She sighed as Laurence's repeated "ma ma ma..." came through. Jax watched as she left the room, and with a sigh he laid down in their bed.

Just as well, he closed his eyes. He had a meeting very early in New York tomorrow.

Keesha walked back into the bedroom, and realized Jax had fallen asleep. She turned off the lamp on his side of the bed before bending down and placing a kiss on his cheek.

Early evening the next day

Jax pressed the intercom on his desk at work. "What are these?"

"Oh, the roses in your office?"

"Yes..." Jax continued looking for a card to give him any sort of clue."

"I'm not sure, they were here when..."

"Never mind." Jax disconnected, picking up his phone and dialing.

"Hello?"

"What are these for?"

"Do I need a reason?" Keesha smiled from the other end of the call.

Jax grinned. "No, but do you have one?"

"Do you like them?"

"They're very lovely...thank you."

"Then there's your reason." And before he could answer, Keesha hung up. She looked over at Bobbie. "Let's see if this works."

Jax listened to the dial tone and then finally hung up. "Come on..." Jerry knocked on the office door. "Let's go to that ELQ meeting."

After the situation with AJ Keesha had decided to transfer her ELQ stock over to Jax, and she hadn't been to a meeting since she had gotten out of the hospital after the kidnapping.

Jax glanced at Jerry. "How long is this supposed to take?"

"All night knowing them...come on...Jax?"

Jax sighed, pulling a rose from the vase.

"Hello?" Jax called slowly as he walked into his house. "I know I said I was working late but...Keesha?...Laurence...Jocelyn..." his voice faded. "Anybody? Guess I should have called." Jax looked at his watch, if he hurried he could catch most of the ELQ meeting. He tossed his briefcase on the couch, running upstairs to change into a fresh suit.

Jax opened the door and Keesha stood from the bed. "It worked." She smiled.

Jax froze, looking around their candle lit bedroom. His eyes focused on Keesha and he stared at her silently, his eyes hungrily devouring the look of her in the satin red gown.

"Amazing..."

"Not really, I know you, and you hate not knowing why I do things. I knew that those flowers would bring you home early." She pulled the bottle of chilled champagne from the nighstand.

"I mean you."

Keesha tilted her head, gazing at Jax with an embarassed smile. "Thank you." She poured their drinks.

Jax walked over, maintaing eye contact as he took the glass from her hand.

"Actually, you know what today is? I bet you don't..." Keesha grinned.

"The anniversary of the day you said you loved me." Jax replied simply. "Do you honestly think I would forget something like that? That will always be one of the happiest days of my life." he placed his glass down without taking a drink.

Keesha watched as Jax took her champagne as well. He closed the space between them and her eyes followed as he bent slightly, wrapping his arms around her. She closed her eyes with a sigh as he pulled her further into his body, burying his face in her throat.

"I could never forget..." Jax mumbled before placing a small kiss on the side of her neck. His hands squeezed against her waist, his mouth trailing small buttefly kisses to the front of her throat, where he sucked against the skin until his name escaped her lips in a moan. He stood straight once more and Keesha opened her eyes, looking up into his.

"Touch me," Jax whispered. Keesha reached out and his eyes closed as her fingers trailed down his lips. His mouth parted slightly with a sigh. Her hands left his face, and she stood tiptoe, leaning in so far he could feel her warm breath against his lips.

Jax opened his eyes again and Keesha stared into them as she very slowly drew his suit jacket down his shoulders. Maintaining eye contact she pulled it off, tossing it aside. Her gaze dropped and she watched her fingers trail lightly up his muscular arms, finally ending at his tie. She untied the knot, glancing up into his eyes once more before pulling loose material from around his neck. Finally, she began to unbutton his shirt, just as slowly as she had removed his other clothing.

Once again their locked gaze was broken as Keesha dropped her eyes, staring at his body as, underneath his shirt, her hands traced the outline of his chest. Her feather light touches caused his body to shudder, both in satisfaction and with the desire for more. Jax closed his eyes, breathing her name.

Keesha looked up as Jax called her, and once more she stood on tiptoe. Again he could feel her breath against his mouth and he reached up, cupping her face in his hands. He traced the outline of her lips with his tongue and her mouth parted with a quivering exhale. His hands left her face, one arm wrapping around her waist and he lifted her slightly, gliding her body across his. Even through their clothes, she could feel him begin to harden against her and her body tightned in response. "Jax..." Keesha moaned against his lips and they kissed fiercely.

Jax let her settle on the ground again. "I love you, Keesha," he breathed, kissing her again as she impatiently finished taking off his shirt.

"Finally..." she moaned against his mouth as her arms wrapped tightly around him.

"Not quite..." Jax smiled, rewarding Keesha with another hungry kiss. He tore away for a moment and then kissed her again, this time gently.

Jax leaned back into the bed, leading Keesha to rest on top of him. She pulled her mouth from his, covering his neck with gentle kisses. She nuzzeled against the side of his neck, her tongue stroking slowly behind his ear. He let out a deep moan, sweeping his hands up her back. "I love you..." she said softly into his ear.

Jax tilted his head so he could look at Keesha again. Her eyes closed as he ran his fingers around her face, ending with soft strokes on her cheek. Her eyes opened and he smiled at her.

"You know what?" his hand stroked her back again. Keesha shook her head.

"You are way overdressed." Jax replied, yanking down the zipper to her dress. "There..." He kissed her, removing the dress entirely. "No..." He decided quickly. He took off the rest of her clothes, tossing them aside. "That's much better.". They kissed again.

Keesha shifted over, resting on top of Jax as they continued kissing. She drew lower, tasting her way down his body, pausing with gentle sucks where his sounds of pleasure directed her. Slowly she kissed her way down his chest, the taste of his skin beginning to overwhelm her senses. She reached his stomach, and sucked against his navel with such force that an intense shudder went through his entire body.

Jax called her name again, his fingers wrapping in her hair as Keesha began kissing his chest again, her hands quickly unfastening the belt to his slacks. Jax inhaled sharply to all the sensations running through him. "Stop..." he begged.

"What?" Keesha asked breathless, glancing up at Jax. He pulled her back up his body and kissed her lips. His tongue stroked against hers slowly as he tasted the inside of her mouth. She groaned, her fingers trailing down his sides, and another shudder went through him. They rolled over, placing him on top and he ran his fingers up her leg, taking it and wrapping it around his waist. He kissed her again as his other hand travelled up the inside of her thigh.

Keesha arched, tearing her mouth away from Jax with a moan as he inserted his fingers into her. His lips found hers again and kissed them passionately, his tongue keeping time with the provocative movements of his fingers. Her body tightened and soon she arched again, groaning as she released.

Jax smiled against her lips and kissed her slowly. He pulled away and finally Keesha opened her eyes, blinking at the unspent passion highlighting the green which sometimes invaded his blue eyes. She was so drawn in by them, she barely noticed as Jax pushed himself up slightly to remove the rest of his clothes. He laid down fully on top of her and she kissed him deeply.

With a quick thrust Jax drove deep inside of her, moaning. He buryied his face against her throat, and his hands moved to the side of the bed, joining hers, lacing their fingers. He moaned again, feeling almost intoxicated by everything about Keesha-the sound of her breathing...the smoothness of her skin under his..the light scent of her invading as he took a breath against her neck...the perfect fit of being inside of her...

Keesha arched, managing to pull Jax even deeper and he inhaled sharply. He exhaled, finally beginning to move within her and she kissed him, matching his thrusts with her own.

The pace exploded furiously and soon, with one last groan, Jax climaxed. Keesha let go of the bed and held him tightly to her, smiling as she felt his heart racing against his chest. She stroked his back slowly as he brushed his leg over hers.

Jax stood behind Keesha, kissing the back of her neck as they waited on Jerry's and Bobbie's porch. Keesha rang the doorbell once more, attempting to shrug Jax away.

"Look who's here..." Jerry called as he opened the door, and Laurence laughed, standing slowly from the floor as Jax walked in.

Keesha shook her head with a smile as Jax ran over to his son. "Where's Jocelyn?"

"Sleeping." Jerry answered.

"I wish she'd do that at home...I'll get her..." she added to Jax and started down the hall.

Jerry left them and went back into the kitchen where Bobbie was waiting.

"Are you sure Jason didn't leave her Bobbie."

"Jason might leave Carly, but he wouldn't leave Michael."

"Ready?" Jax held Laurence as he stood in the doorway of the spare bedroom in Jerry's and Bobbie's house.

"Almost...get that..."

Jax walked over to Keesha's purse, pulling out her ringing cellular. "Hello?...hello?..."

Carly hung up. She'd have to try again later. But Jason said Keesha owed him, so Carly decided to call in the favor now. Use Keesha to get Stefan to look for Jason. But she'd have to wait until Jax wasn't around.
