Dane’s hands clamped down on his shoulders as he began to desperately twist his hips in an effort to take Jax in deeper. But Jax knew there would be no deeper so he increased the leverage by grabbing Dane’s ass with both his hands and driving into him over and over. Dane’s hand dropped down to stroke his own cock and his head fell back as moans of agony tore from his lips. “Harder,” he begged as he viciously pulled and twisted his cock.

Jax held off his orgasm and slammed into Dane several more times until he felt the first spurt of semen hit his chest. It was all he needed to let go of his control and his body snapped back against the couch as his orgasm ripped through him. Dane kept riding him as the waves went on and on and Jax forced his eyes open to watch the last jets of come drip down Dane’s cock and over his hand. His own body continued to convulse as Dane’s throbbing ass pulsed around him. Dane’s hips finally slowed to a gentle rolling motion before stopping all together. Brown eyes clashed with his as a satisfied smile spread over Dane’s mouth. Jax knew in that instant that he was in deep shit because there was no longer any doubt that he was completely in love with this man.

“Will you tell me about your brother?”

Dane saw Jax stiffen and he wished the question back. The other man had been sullen and quiet since their interlude on the couch and it was throwing Dane off. He’d asked Jax to join him in the shower but Jax had made an excuse about needing to make a phone call and had disappeared outside. He’d reappeared and helped Dane make dinner but even that had been done mostly in silence. Dane was struggling with his neediness to ask Jax if he’d done something wrong so finding another topic of conversation seemed like the prudent thing to do and he really wanted to know more about Jax’s life.

“What do you want to know?”

“Was he older? Younger? Do you have any other brothers or sisters?”

Jax finished the last bit of food on his plate, then took over spoon feeding Emma in her high chair so Dane could work on his dinner. “Ben was younger but only by a minute. We were twins. Fraternal, not identical,” he clarified.

“Our sister Jillian is a lot younger – she turned out to be a pleasant surprise for our parents who’d been told they wouldn’t be able to have any more kids after Ben and I were born.”

“Are your parents still…?”

“Alive? Yeah. They live in Connecticut in the house we grew up in. Jillian’s completing her last year of graduate school in Rhode Island.”

“Do you get home to see them a lot?”

Jax fell silent for a moment before saying, “Not as much as I probably should. It’s been harder since we lost Ben.”

Dane wished he could reach out and touch Jax but Jax’s earlier withdrawal kept him from doing it.

“Did Ben always know he wanted to go into law enforcement?” Dane asked.

Jax nodded. “We both did. We were the type of twins who did everything together, even after we were old enough to make our own choices. We joined the army together, then the FBI Training Academy. We finally went our separate ways when he decided to move to Chicago and I went to South America.”

“You’re an FBI agent?” Dane asked in surprise and realized he hadn’t taken the time until now to really learn more about this man who’d become so important to him in such a small amount of time. “I thought you worked for a security company?”

“I do. I left the Bureau about a year ago when I realized they weren’t going to do anything about Rawlings,” Jax responded, his tone going cold.

“You said they were doing surveillance on Rawlings,” Dane said.

“Not to get him for his role in what happened to Ben and the others. They wanted the dealer he sold the information to and once they had that guy they were going to offer him immunity so he’d roll on his suppliers. They had no plans to prosecute anyone for the murders and they had no issue with leaving Rhys in prison to rot.”

“I’m sorry, Jax.”

“My friend got me some contract work for the security company he worked for.” Jax refused to meet his gaze when he said, “I used the time between contracts to come up with my own plan for justice for Ben and the others. I spent months traveling back and forth to Chicago to monitor Rawlings and learn as much about him as I could. His movements, his tastes. After I got what I needed from him, I asked a friend at the FBI to leak the transcripts of the surveillance to the press so the Bureau would be forced to go after the dealer for the murders, but not until I made sure the dealer found out Rawlings had double-crossed him. The dealer took care of Rawlings, the Bureau took care of the dealer.” Jax finished feeding Emma and used her bib to wipe her mouth. He leaned down to give her a kiss and smiled when she grabbed his face with her messy hands.

Dane couldn’t stop himself from getting up and going around the table. Jax looked up at him curiously but didn’t pull away from him when he leaned down to kiss him. “You’re an amazing man, Jaxon Reid,” Dane said as he pressed another kiss to his lips and then used his thumb to wipe away some of the baby food that was stuck to his cheek. “How about we go for a swim?”

Dane leaned back against a tree and watched Jax play with Emma in the water. Jax was up to his waist in the cool, clear water in the small pond just a few hundred yards from the house. He’d only agreed to take Emma in the water if Dane stayed on shore and kept Jax’s gun handy. The weapon sat next to Dane where he could easily grab it if he needed to, but it was a stark reminder of just how different his and Jax’s lives were and the pipe dream he had of being able to have a life with Jax was just that.

At this very moment Jax looked happier and more relaxed than Dane had ever seen him, but Dane still caught him checking their surroundings every couple of minutes. Dane knew Jax did it for his and Emma’s sake and he was grateful, but this was also who Jax was and Dane knew the protective man wouldn’t be able to give up watching out for others. Dane had nothing that could compete with the adrenaline rush that was the other man’s life every day.

Dane knew the prudent thing to do would be to get Jax out of his life sooner rather than later but he also knew in his gut that he wasn’t going to let Jax go until he absolutely had to. It would likely end up breaking him but at least he’d have the time they spent together to look back on.

“You going back in?” Jax asked as he came out of the water. Dane admired the way his wet jeans clung to him.

“No, I’m good.”

Jax handed him Emma and then pocketed the gun and grabbed his shirt. As they began to walk back to the house, Dane felt the sudden urge to grab Jax’s hand but he didn’t because that’s what couples did and couples were people who had a future together.
