“Don’t drink so much.”
“Drink?”
“Yes. You’ve said yourself you do stupid things. If we’re not officially a couple, somebody else might want my role in your bed.”
“I doubt they’d match up to you.”
I tense as his hand slips up my leg. “And that. You say dumb things.”
“What have I said now?”
“Again, your response should’ve been ‘not going to happen’”
“Tegan…” Jax sinks back and holds a hand in his hair. “Not going to happen. Why are you this insecure?”
“I’m not!”
“You are!”
“Well, are you surprised considering your reputation?”
“No, but you need to trust me.”
“And you need to stop drinking.”
Our eyes meet in a Tegan and Jax style challenge, until he pouts and picks up the nearby popcorn, repeatedly throwing the pieces back into the bowl. “I’ll cut back but won’t stop completely. How’s that?”
“Better.”
“And will you stop doubting me?”
“I’ll cut back but won’t stop completely.” I laugh as he throws a handful of popcorn at me and catch his hands.
Our struggle over who has the upper hand flows through every aspect of our relationship. Even though I often win the verbal, he usually wins the physical. Usually. My hair hangs in Jax’s face as I sit astride him and hold his arms away from me.
Jax blows a strand away. “You’re intoxicating enough.”
I scrunch my face up. “Oh, god, please don’t tell me I’m your drug.” I let his hands go and clutch my chest. “An addiction running through your bloodstream and you can’t get enough. Craving me every minute of every day.”
“You’re funny.”
“I don’t do silly romance.”
“And I only do the truth. It might get me into trouble, but I’d never bullshit you.”
“I hope so.” I dig my nails into his hard abs. “If I see you with a girl. Once. This is over.”
He winces and catches my hands. “I wouldn’t do that to you. I don’t want to lose you. You’re my girl.”
His words dig into my heart, pushing himself further into the corner I don’t want anybody to go. “That’s cute.”
“Aren’t you my girl?” He drags me toward him by the hands until our nose touch.
“I’m here aren’t I?” I say and skim my lips against his. “I don’t get naked for just anybody.”
“I like you naked.” He runs both hands down my back and pulls me closer. “And happy.”
I roll off him before my body has any more ideas about his nakedness and how exploring him further would be fun. Again. “Tell me about non-rock star Jax.”
