I glanced at his mouth and the urge to taste his smile rose again.

“I…”

“Full disclosure,” Jax continued, “I know you slept with Theo.”

“What?” Heat pulsed through me from head to toe, and my heart punched up into my throat. “How do you—why did he—”

“Hey,” Jax cut me off softly. “I don’t care. None of us do, really. We’re all adults, and we’re all single. Whatever happens, happens, and I don’t at all mean to presume anything. I’m… I’m here because I feel something and I’m taking a chance to see if you feel something too.”

Hot embarrassment shot around my body and with it, the flames of irritation. I couldn’t believe Theo told the others what had happened, and yet just as my annoyance swelled, it was also unfair. We never discussed keeping it a secret or anything like that, so could I really be mad at him?

“I don’t sleep around,” I said eventually, and my grip tightened on the door handle. If Theo had given the impression that I waseasy,then Jax was in for a shock. “I was… when I walked in on him, I was—”

“Please,” Jax cut in gently. “You don’t have to explain or justify anything to me. It… isn’t sleeping around, at least not to me. We’re both single and I’m attracted to you, Summer.”

Hearing those words rooted me to the spot. Theo was adream. A kind soul with a gorgeous body and sweet whimpers but a dream all the same. Having Jax interested in me too? This had to be some sort of elaborate fantasy. Did I hit my head coming down that slope?

“But,” Jax continued, “I will respect you and your wishes. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or place you in any kind of position that makes you unhappy here.”

Jax took a step back to leave and smiled that wide, glorious smile. Whatever sane thoughts I had about maintaining a professional air around these men instantly fled.

I acted without sense, surging forward before I even really knew what I was doing. Just a taste; I only wanted to see if that smile tasted as sunny as it looked. I cupped Jax’s strong jaw and crushed my mouth to his, straining up onto my tiptoes as my hand remained locked around the door handle.

The kiss lasted a few long seconds, and my heart froze as I waited for any kind of reaction from Jax. Those seconds lasted a lifetime in my mind.

Then Jax surged forward into the kiss, and he crowded me against the door, his lips pressing hard against my mouth and his tongue stroking past the seam of my lips as his hand landed on mine around the door handle.

I parted my lips, letting his tongue lick into my mouth and deepen the kiss while pressing down on the handle. The door gave way at my back, and we stumbled into my bedroom, barely able to get the door closed before he was pressing me up against it with the bulk of his body.

“Are you sure?” Jax gasped against my lips, and his warm breath tickled over my skin. I leaned away from the door just enough to discard my jacket onto the floor.

“Yes,” I gasped.

His jacket joined mine then his lips were back on me, kissing me with a heated passion I hadn’t expected so soon. It ignited a fire deep in my belly, and I cupped his face with one hand, sliding my other up into his hair and gripping on for dear life. His warm fingers glanced under my shirt and skimmed along the top edge of my pants. Without a word, he shoved a hand down my pants, and I gasped, breaking the kiss and arching back against the door. The press of Jax’s body and the way he latched firmly onto my neck gave me no space to resist, and my heart flew wildly under my ribcage when his hand dipped between my thighs and strong fingers stroked through my pussy.

“You’re already wet,” Jax grinned, his words writing into my skin with his kiss. I had been since I’d straddled him on the mountain with snow biting my skin and the wind in my hair.

“Yes,” I whimpered, tugging softly at his hair. “You have that effect on me.”

My words ended in a moan as his deft fingertips located my clit. I rose up onto my tiptoes and pressed firmly back against the door, my heart racing and sweat pulsing down my spine. He didn’t pause, not even as his teeth grazed my collarbone. He stroked and rubbed against my clit, then his fingers slid through my folds once, twice, then suddenly he was inside me.

Two fingers slid deep into my core, and I whined loudly. I was powerless to resist and happy to do so as Jax set up a rhythm of pumping his fingers deep inside me while his thumb and palm worked against my clit and core.

“Fuck,” I gasped as pleasure coiled like a snake in my gut and warmth trickled through me. My heart pounded, and my skin tingled while Jax rocked against me and his soft panting breath stroked against the hollow of my throat. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, and my eyes fluttered closed as all my focus centered on the heat and pleasure building between my legs.

Jax wasskilled, each twist of his fingers inside me sent sparks dancing behind my eyes, and the strokes and patterns of his thumb teasing my clit were more than I could handle. My orgasm swept up like a wave. I was given only a few moments to embrace the pleasure before light exploded through my core, and I came with a gasping cry around his fingers.

He didn’t stop as he pressed up against me so that I didn’t fall, and his fingers continued to move. When my eyes fluttered open, his glittering eyes were locked on me while that fabulous smile warmed my soul.

“Beautiful,” he purred low. “We’re just getting started.”

SUMMER

Jax stepped back, giving me a moment on unsteady legs, and I pressed back against the door, panting heavily. That had been so sudden and so incredible at the same time that I couldn’t form the thoughts to thank him. Not that it mattered because Jax stripped off the rest of his clothes in a matter of seconds, and then he was back on me, helping me out of my pants and underwear.

“Jax,” I gasped finally as his knuckles grazed my hips and his lips traced down my neck once more. “Are you sure?”
