Mariana shook her head. They didn’t mean it. She figured at the time they were trying to cover up how emotional they had been getting over talking about the war and their experience. They were both very attractive men, but she only had eyes for Jax and Jameson.
She continued to lather the soap up on the washcloth as she inhaled the clean scent.
The best part about the last few days was that she felt relaxed and comfortable. Even after an excruciating workout by Sensei Lee. The man was a beast of an instructor. She did learn a lot of moves in self-defense. She also asked that Gia not let Jameson and Jax know that Duke and Shane were her partners when learning. Of course today, after the training session, Gunner stopped in to see Gia. Mariana was in an odd position under Shane. She had her legs wrapped around his ribs and her arms wrapped around his neck. Sensei Lee was trying to teach her how to tire out an attacker who had her on the ground in such a position. As she looked up, Gunny was snapping a picture with his camera. Gia had yelled
at him to stop. Mariana shook her head. That stinker knew exactly what he was doing. Gunner was going to try and stir Jax and Jameson up. She didn’t need that.
Jax and Jameson had seemed quite jealous of other men. It was like they were insecure about the relationship. That made her feel less concerned over her insecure feelings. This was new to all three of them. The only thing hanging over her head now was the talk about pregnancy. She could already be pregnant.
She laid her hand over her belly then rinsed the soap off her body as the shower water cascaded over her. She had a funny feeling in her gut. It was a combination of nerves and her insecurities. She decided to analyze the situation as she saw it. Worst-case scenario was that Jax and Jameson wouldn’t want children and that they would be angry at her for getting pregnant. If that happened, she could probably go back to working for Freda until she started to show in her belly. No man would want a pregnant woman escorting them around Houston. They wanted sexy, beautiful, and smart women. God, this was looking worse than better. She couldn’t ride the skateboard and be a courier. Plus, once the baby came, she would have to find other means of financial support. She felt the tears reach her eyes. She was in love with Jax and Jameson. She would die if they didn’t want her and the baby. What are you thinking? You don’t even know if you’re pregnant.
She turned off the water and started drying off when she heard someone calling her name. Jax and Jameson were home from wherever it was they disappeared to this morning. The last few days had been filled with activities. She looked forward to snuggling on the couch with them.
“Mariana!”
“I’m in here,” she called out and was a bit shocked when Jax shoved open the door and glared at her. Jameson looked none the happier.
“What in the hell were you doing in the fucking dojo with Shane?” Jax raised his voice.
Oh damn, Gunner sent him the picture. What a troublemaker.
“First of all, stop yelling.”
“Stop yelling? I should toss you over my knee and spank your ass for allowing another man to touch you, never mind lay on top of you.”
Spank me? Is he serious?
“Don’t look at me like that.”
“He’ll do it. We both will,” Jameson added, and she suddenly felt very aroused at their idea of punishment. Was she insane?
She placed her hands on her hips and nearly lost the towel that was wrapped around her body. She attempted again to look annoyed and place her hands on her hips, but the damn towel wouldn’t stay in place.
“I have never been spanked in my entire life. You two have no such right to even think about doing such a thing.”
“You think we don’t?” Jameson asked, and Jax raised his hand up for Jameson to go no further.
“This. This is not acceptable.” Jax held the phone out to her and she saw the picture. Yeah, it looked bad. She was underneath Shane, the giant of a man, and all she could see in the picture were her legs and her arms. Shane was smiling.
“I knew Gunner was up to something. That stinker took the picture when we weren’t looking.”
Jax raised his eyebrows at her.
“Oh, so you were sneaking around, lying underneath another man? Get your ass in the bedroom now.”
She placed her hands on her hips and raised her voice.
“You are not going to spank me. No way, no how. I did nothing wrong.” As she began to walk, the towel fell from her body, and Jax lifted her up into his arms.
Her breasts were level with his mouth as he squeezed her underneath her ass cheeks. Mariana held on to his shoulders as she stared down into his eyes.
“Jax, don’t you dare do something you’ll regret.”
“I think you need to learn the rules of this relationship.” He stomped toward the bed and sat down. She straddled his waist and tried to wiggle free. No such luck.
“Rules?” she asked.
“Yes,” Jameson said as he began to undress.
