Mistletoe Magic

Summary: Lexi and Jax can’t agree on Christmas plans, but neither can hold out for long.

“Lexi, I’m not going, so can you just drop it?” Jax lets out an exasperated sigh.

“I don’t know what you are worried about.” Lexi wraps her arms around his waist. “My family will love you.”

Jax shrugs her off and wriggles out her grasp. “It’s too risky. How am I supposed to answer the millions of questions I will undoubtedly be asked? Somehow I think telling them I’m a vampire clan leader won’t go over well.”

She clenches her jaw as the heat from her anger boiling within reaches her cheeks. She’s come up with a perfectly plausible backstory for him, and she knows stretching the truth comes second nature for vampires. “That’s a bullshit excuse and you know it. You just plain don’t want to go.”

Lexi’s relationship with Jax is close to perfect…most of the time. But then there are times like this where she’s reminded that as much as she’s integrated into the vampire world, she’s still human. Their talks about the future are always vague and opened ended, “we’ll cross that bridge when it comes,” type of things. So while at times she feels nothing could tear them apart, at others she feels like he could slip through her fingers at any moment. Times like now when she’s trying to get him to take the next step and go home with her for Christmas and meet her family, and he acting like it’s something that can never happen.

“Come on, Lex. You know that’s not true.” He encircles her in his strong arms and kisses her on the forehead. “I just don’t want to mess up somehow and ruin everything for us.”

“Ughh,” she grunts as her attempts to struggle out of his grasps are futile. “Just let me go.”

“Not until you believe me.” Jax looks towards the ceiling and then shuffles them both a foot to the left. Before Lexi can figure out what he’s doing, he plants a firm kiss on her lips.

She turns her head to the side. If he thinks he can seduce her into forgetting about this argument, he has another thing coming.”What do you think you are doing? Kissing you is the last thing I want to do right now.”

Jax puts on a mock pout. “But we have to. It’s the rule when you are under the mistletoe.”

She looks up and curses herself for hanging it there in the first place. “That doesn’t mean I have to kiss you back.”

“I bet I can make you want to,” he growls and then nips her ear. His fangs descend, and he drags them down the side of her neck down to her collarbone. An electrical pulse ripples through her, and she’s fuming that her mind can’t keep her body under control.

“This isn’t funny, J-” Lexi isn’t able to finish before Jax captures her mouth with his. She keeps tight lipped, denying his tongue the access it seeks, and her arms remain glued to her sides despite the physical urge to give in. She can’t decide if she more mad at him right now for trying to use sex to resolve their disagreement or at herself for wanting it.

Jax slides his hands down the small of her back and grabs her ass, melding their bodies together. She feels his erection, rock hard against her hip and whimpers into his mouth, parting just enough for Jax to slip his tongue inside. He tastes and smells of maple syrup and cinnamon from the french toast he just made them for breakfast. She can’t hold back anymore and begins to return his kisses with equal fervor.

Jax breaks away and smirks. “I knew you couldn’t resist me.”

Lexi smacks him in the shoulder a bit harder than she intends, but she knows she can be rough with him and it won’t hurt – one of the perks of dating a vampire. “Just shut up and fuck me.”

Jax laughs and then hoists her up, Lexi hooking her legs around him. “As you wish.” He carries her to the bed and perches his on the edge of the bed, quickly discarding her sleep shirt and underwear. “You’re so fucking beautiful Lexi, even when you’re pissed off.”

Lexi narrows her eyes and scowls. Sometimes she thinks he gets off on how feisty she gets when she’s mad. “You know what? Maybe I’ve changed my mind.”

Lexi moves to stand and in one swift motion, Jax flips her on her back, straddles her hips, and pins her hands above her head. She’s bluffing and he knows it. “You aren’t going anywhere. I’m going to make you come so hard you’ll be begging for more.”

“I’d like to see you try,” she scoffs and rolls her eyes, knowing this will only make him more determined.

A devilish gleam flashes in Jax’s eyes. “You asked for it.” He wastes no time, settling in between her legs, and her breath hitches as he plunges two fingers inside her. “Funny how wet you are after resisting all that time. He adds in a third finger, filling and stretching the space and she moans with each deep thrust. A warm tingle starts spreading throughout her core. “You like that, don’t you?”

“Yes,” she pants.

Jax withdraws his hand. “Then tell me how bad you want it.”

“So bad, Jax. I need more,” Lexi pleads.

Jax flashes a grin. “That’s my good girl.” He dives back in and then brings his mouth down, finding her clit with his tongue. He flicks the sensitive nub and she writhes from the stimulation overload. He holds her hips down with his free hand and broadens the strokes, swirling around and sucking with just enough pressure while continuing to work his fingers insider her.

“Keep going,” she urges as the fire in her belly grows. Jax does as instructed and Lexi can’t contain it any longer. “Oh my god. Fuck yes, Jax,” she cries out and her vision flashes white, her whole body alight as her walls contract around his fingers in unison with her ragged breaths.

Jax sits up on his knees with pleased expression on his face. “So what now?” He asks knowing full well what she’s going to say.

The empty space where his fingers were aches to be filled again. “Fuck me, Jax…please.”

“That’s what I thought,” he replies smugly as he takes off his boxer briefs . “Turn over, and get on your knees for me.” Jax comes up behind Lexi and gives her a firm smack on the ass. It stings but sends a thrill through her at the same time. Nothing excites her like knowing Jax could crush her with one hand if he wanted, but he knows just how far he can push her to toe the line between pleasure and pain. She feels the head of his cock at her entrance and then she gasps as he pushes inside.

A low throaty moan escapes as Jax thrusts even deeper, hitting her sweet spot just right. “God Jax, you feel so good.”

“I bet its nothing compared to how amazing you make me feel. You are so sexy, Lexi.” He braces himself with one hand on the rungs of the headboard and gathers her hair in his other fist and tugs. She lets out a groan as he pulls her head back and exposes her neck. He sinks his fangs superficially into the supple flesh and her whole body shudders. “You like that, don’t you?

“Yes,” she breaths and Jax picks up his pace. He hooks one arm around her waist and caresses her breasts with his free hands. She’s close to falling over the edge, and as his hand travels lower and he rubs his fingers over the hood of her clit, she comes undone again. She lowers her head and screams into a pillow, her entire body trembling until she collapses on the bed.

Jax flips her over and sinks into her once more. He throws her heels over his shoulders and finds a steady rhythm. His breaths come quicker, his movements more erratic, and he grips the head board with both hands. She digs her nails into his back as he pushes into her just about as hard as she can take, and then he’s calling out her name as he finds his release inside her.

“Oops,” Jax mutters and Lexi’s has no idea what he’s talking about until she looks back and sees he’s bent two rungs of the headboard almost to the breaking point.

“Really, Jax?” Lexi sighs. “We just got this one. I don’t think a stronger steel frame exists. I see why you only used to have a platform bed.”

Jax shrugs and lays down beside her. “Better I break that than the wall again…or you. You are irreplaceable”

“True…But anyways, don’t just think some mind-blowing sex made me forget I’m still upset with you. You can’t just hang some magic mistletoe over my head and all will be forgotten.”

Jax chuckles. “I know how stubborn you are, but I wouldn’t say their’s no magic in that mistletoe.”

Lexi furrows her brows. “What do you mean?”

“I’ve decided…you’re right. If I can hold myself back from devouring you through all of that, I can make it through just about anything. I’d like to come home and meet your parents.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Lexi throws her arms around his neck and peppers him with kisses. Little by little she’s wearing him down. She has hope that she’ll get everything she wants some day, but this will do for now.
