JACKSON
I’ve put myself in a lot of dangerous situations in my life. I learned to take them head on, whether I liked it or not. Whether it scared the shit out of me or not. I faced it. But today one five-foot-four actress who kisses like a dream come true has me hiding away in my room like a sullen teenager.
I’m checking all the safety measures we put in place even though I already did that before we picked up Autumn at the airport. I look over every camera angle on the monitors set up in my room, giving a slight adjustment to the ones on the back patio where the girls are drinking wine. They seem to be getting along well. Autumn is certainly being more friendly to her than she was me.
Notifications pop up on my phone and monitor, telling me Gage is here. I’m satisfied that no one is getting close to this house without me knowing it.
Gage enters and I watch on the monitor as he heads straight to Everleigh. He sits on the chaise, pulling her legs over his lap so she’s almost sitting on top of him. Then he kisses the hell out of her. You’d think he’d been away from her for two days instead of two hours.
I glance at Autumn and she’s watching with her mouth slightly agape. I better go break them up before they give her a show. Once those two get started…
“There’s four bedrooms in this house. Go find one,” I say as I step onto the patio.
Everleigh giggles as she breaks the kiss. Gage looks tempted. The asshole. Not long ago, he was denying there was anything more than sex between them and now he’s a proud card-carrying boyfriend. If I’d known he was going to be this ridiculous, I might not have pushed him to admit his feelings. Okay, that’s a lie. It was clear the moment I saw the two of them together they were meant for each other, and I like to see Gage happy.
“I was kidding, dude,” I say when that tempted look remains on his face.
I glance over at Autumn and she’s blinking her gaze away from the couple, a slight blush in her cheeks. What was she thinking? Surely their show of affection didn’t embarrass her. I wouldn’t think the dirty mouthed woman from the voicemail would turn prudish over some sexy PDA.
She takes a big gulp of her wine before she says, “If you and Gage are going to fuck like bunnies before you leave, please avoid my room. It would bum me out hard if my room saw sex before I did.”
It’s on the tip of my tongue to say something flirty, but I stop it before I can. I’m not here to flirt. I’m certainly not here to help her break in her bed properly – no matter how much I want to.
Everleigh laughs. “I think we can control ourselves.”
Gage looks seriously crestfallen by Everleigh’s comment for a good couple of seconds before he looks at Autumn. “It looks like your reunion with Jackson is trending more than your interaction with that airport asshat. However, both events happening within minutes of each other has the internet lit up.”
Autumn rolls her eyes and takes another deep sip of wine. “Wonderful.”
Everleigh is on her phone now, watching a video. “Whoa. That kiss is hot!” She looks at me and wiggles her brows. “Well played, sir.”
Autumn holds out her hand and takes the phone. As she watches the video, her cheeks redden again, this time a much deeper shade.
“Everyone wants to know who Jackson is,” Everleigh says and looks at me again. “And if he’s packing ten inches.”
Jesus Christ.
Autumn looks at me with wide eyes then her gaze flicks down to my crotch. And fuck if my cock doesn’t twitch and immediately start thickening. Her flushed face, darkening eyes, and wet lips send a slew of fantasies fast-forwarding through my mind.
Of her with those plump lips around my cock. Of her naked and spread eagle on that chaise. Of her sweet mouth telling me exactly how much she loves my tongue between her legs.
Shit. Now I’m so turned on it hurts. And I need her to stop looking at my dick or I’ll be tempted to make one of those fantasies come true.
“Go ahead, take it all in.”
Her gaze snaps up to mine, a stunned expression on her face. And I don’t blame her. That’s not what I meant to say at all. My mouth apparently was still watching the porno in my mind.
The shock disappears quickly though. “Don’t worry, I could…I mean, did.” The devilish smirk she gives me tells me that little slip was on purpose.
I turn away, pretending to be annoyed and not even more turned on at the thought of her taking all of me. My dick is full on hard now and it’s not unnoticeable. I take a deep breath in and focus my mind on anything but Autumn Atwood.
“Well, um, on that note, we need to get out of here,” Gage says.
“What? You’re leaving?” There is a slight panic to Autumn’s voice, and I turn back slightly to see the disappointment on her face. “But Everleigh and I are drinking wine and getting to know each other. Plus, I haven’t even had a chance to catch up with you.”
“Sorry, Atwood, but we have to get the mom mobile back. Plus, I have meeting. We’ll have time to get together before you go back to L.A.”
She narrows her eyes at him. “I know that voice. That’s your, ‘let’s lie to Autumn so I don’t get in detention again’ voice.”
