"Brent."
"Son of a mother fucking cock faced bitch!" Kai explodes, causing me to jump. “Sorry Beautiful Girl.” He apologises, wincing.
"Why were you all there?" I question.
They all look to Levi as if to gage how much they can tell me.
"To explain that, we will have to explain what we are really doing here and our jobs. Please understand that it is of the upmost importance that you keep what you are about to hear to yourself."
I nod in agreement.
"We aren't actually high school students. We are here undercover to try to get evidence of the arms and drug deals going on between the students at your school and Brent."
He pauses to let what he's said sink in.
"I knew he was a bit shady but guns and drugs? Are you sure?" I ask, knowing deep down that it's true but feeling the need to confirm it anyway.
Levi nods.
"Tonight, we were staking out the club to see if we could gather any information. In particular, information on his ex-girlfriend who we thought might be willing to help us."
"I don't know anything really but if I can help I will."
"It might just be something as simple as recognising one of his associates."
I nod in understanding before yawning.
"I think for now we've had enough. We all know the basics and can talk more in the morning. It's late and we all need to relax for a bit."
"Will you stay here beautiful?" Kai asks hopefully.
We dropped off a couple of bottles of liquor to my mother earlier and that should last her till morning and distract her enough that she won’tlook for me.
"Would that be ok?" I glance around at the others. I want to make sure that none of the other guys mind me crashing the night.
"Of course, Sweetheart.” Hunter smiles.
"I'll set the guest room up for you, Little Star." Jax gently moves my legs off his lap. He catches my eye as he starts to get up and I can't help but get sucked into his stunning sapphire blue eyes. For a moment, the rest of the world falls away, silence envelopes me.
A sense of pure peace and happiness flows through me. Jax's eyes sparkle at me with a warmth that I've only recently noticed being directed towards me.I watch transfixed as he slowly lifts his hand up to my cheek. My heart starts to pound in excitement.
As soon as his strong hand is a centimetre away from me, the Sparks start dancing through my body causing me to inhale sharply. Jax's eyes darken turning his gem coloured blue eyes into a deep navy.His warm hand gently cups my cheek causing the Sparks to leap to attention. They immediately rush towards my sternum yet again.
Just like with Kai the feelings have increased exponentially.
Jax brings his other hand up to my cheek and I wrap my arms around his neck, suddenly realising that I've somehow made it onto his lap and off of Kai’s, my legs are on either side of his thighs.I have no idea how I managed to get here but I find myself uncaring as Jax removes one of his hands from my face causing me to make a small noise of protest that, under normal circumstances, would make me incredibly embarrassed.
My protest is cut short as soon as he wraps one of his strong arms around my waist pulling my chest flush with his.Once again the Sparks, that had become a pleasant hum in the background, suddenly ignite stronger than ever.In unison Jax and I sharply inhale, my hips involuntarily buck forward causing him to bury his head into my neck, his breathing ragged.
Without any warning he starts peppering kisses from my collarbone to just behind my ear sending a toe-curling shudder through me.I pull his head away from my neck making him growl deeply in his chest as I tug his hair. I lean forward, frustrated that the only place I can reach is the underside of his lightly stubbled jaw.I slowly place light kisses along his strong jaw line, loving the fact that this act alone can cause his breathing to become even more ragged.
I'm suddenly plucked off of Jax’s lap. A quick glance behind me shows thatI've been moved by Maverick.Jax instantly stands, fists clenched ready to do anything to get me back in his arms. Before he can launch himself at Maverick, who is still having to hold me as I strain to get back to Jax, Kai and Hunter each grab hold of his arms.
The only way I can describe this incredible need is as an unrelenting thirst that won't be quenched until he is touching me once again.
Just like with Kai, it's almost painful.
Kai lets go of Jax’s arm waiting until Levi takes his place and then places himself in front of Jax blocking his view of me.Maverick turns me around so he's cradling me to his chest. Later, without all the heightened emotions, I will realise that he was incredibly careful not to touch my skin with his.I can feel the others standing around us, tense but trusting Kai to know how to deal with it. The faith these men have in each other always astounds me.
