Summary: A rewrite of the scene in which MC (Lexi) convinces Jax to help rescue Adrian.
“Lexi, you are asking me to risk my life to save another man’s.” Jax didn’t want to be Jealous of Adrian. The short time he had spent with Lexi had been incredible, and he thought it had meant something. Now it was hard to tell if he was just a diversion. Clearly she had feelings for Adrian, or she wouldn’t be asking Jax to put himself in danger. It hurt Jax to think she might find him so indispensable that she was okay with him throwing his life away to save Adrian.
“It’s not like that.” Lexi insisted.
“What is it like then?”
Lexi turned to Kamilah and Lily, “Can you give us a bit?” Jax and I need to talk. We will meet you back at the office.
“Lexi will meet you there, I -”
Lexi cut him off before he could finish. “Please hear me out Jax. Lily, Kamilah, trust me. You two go and we will meet you soon.”
“Lexi, remember time is of the essence.” Kamilah warned. If we don’t put this plan into motion in the next hour…“ Kamilah trailed off.
“Don’t worry, she’s got this.” Lily reassured Kamilah. “Right Lexi?”
“Yes, I know Jax will understand once I explain. I’m confident we will see you within the hour.”
Jax shook his head as Kamilah and Lily walked out the door, but he was pretty sure he knew the what the outcome would be. Lexi had a power over him, and he hadn’t been able to say no to her yet.
“Now that it’s just us, what do you have to say?” Jax’s tone harsher than he meant it to be.
“To tell you the truth, yes, I do have feelings for Adrian.”
Jax felt like he had been kicked in the gut. She was asking him to risk everything to save someone she wanted more than him. “I see you aren’t sugar coating it.”
“You didn’t let me finish. I know I haven’t known either of you long, but I met Adrian first. We had a connection from the start, but then you came, and my feelings for you are so much stronger. I still care for Adrian as a person, and he is worth saving just for that reason. But like Kamilah already explained, without Adrian, I’m afraid I’ll lose you too.”
It was selfish, but that was all Jax need to hear. Jax pulled Lexi in close and tilted her chin up so her eyes met his gaze. “I’ll do it. Not just for myself, or my people, but for you.”
“Thank you, Jax!” Lexi squeezed her arms tightly around him, her eyes never leaving his. He wanted so badly to kiss her, but he knew now was not the time. And yet, neither of them made a move to let go.
“Jax….” Lexi’s voice was little more than a whisper. “I want you.”
Jax groaned. She was pushing him towards the point of no return, but they just couldn’t go there right now. “You are killing me, Lexi. You know we don’t have time to waste. Kamilah said we only have about an hour.”
Lexi tugged at the collar of his jacket. “I know the timing is horrible, but I need you…now. I have faith in you…but anything could happen.”
Jax didn’t have to read her mind to know what she was thinking. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to her, but there were no guarantees. He swiftly scooped Lexi up and placed her seated on the kitchen counter, and she let out a surprised yelp. He moved between her legs, brushed her hair from her face, and drew her in for a kiss. “I suppose we could make good use of the time we do have.” He slid Lexi’s shirt over her head and and then shrugged of his jacket.
Lexi discarded Jax’s shirt in return, and ran her smooth hands up his chest, setting off an electric current under his skin. Jax unhooked her bra, and took in the sight of her pert breasts as the bra fell away. He brought his hands up and brushed his thumbs across her nipples which hardened at the the touch. He took one is his mouth and then the other, eliciting soft moans from her throat. He was already half hard but hearing her moans made his length strain against his jeans. He pressed in closer, kissing her deeply while unbuttoning her pants, and again, Lexi followed his lead and did the same to him.
“I think it would be easier to get you out of those pants if we moved this to the bed,” Jax whispered in Lexi’s ear.
“Lead the way,” Lexi answered, and Jax carried her over and laid her gently on the bed.
“You make that seam so easy.”
Jax smirked and shrugged his shoulders. “It is. Now lets pick up where we left off.” Jax helped Lexi take of her pants and lacy thong that matched the bra laying on the kitchenette floor before removing his own jeans and boxer briefs. He wished he could take his time with her, to please her fully until she couldn’t take any more. There would be time for that later, he hoped. For now he would just make her see how much he wanted her and needed her.
Jax hovered over Lexi on the bed. He moved his mouth to her thigh and began kissing upward. He felt the warmth of the of the blood running through her femoral artery, could smell it’s sweet scent through her skin. He longed to taste it again, but that too could wait. There was another part of her he’d been waiting to get his mouth on. He licked slowly from her folds to her clit. Lexi purred in response. “More, Jax. Please.”
Jax swirled his tongue over her sensitive bundle of nerves and slipped two fingers into her glistening wet sex. Lexi moaned again. Her pulse quickened and her breaths became faster. She tasted as incredible as he thought she would. Jax read her cues and kept working his mouth on her, bringing her closer to the edge. Before she got too close, he switched back to hovering over her and brought a searing kiss to her lips.
“Are you trying to tease me, Jax? Normally I’d be into that, but we both know we don’t have all day.”
“No Lexi, I just want you to come while I’m inside with you. Is that okay with you?”
“Yes, more than okay. I need you Jax.”
Hearing that, Jax couldn’t wait any longer. He lowered himself down, sliding his length into her tight, wet, sex. They moved their hips together in perfect rhythm, jolts of pleasure overwhelming Jax with each thrust. The couple of times they were together before were hot,and full of lust and urgency. Despite their limited time here, this was different. It was deep, passionate and filled with longing. Jax never averted his eyes from Lexi. He wanted her to be his. “Lexi, tell me you are mine.”
“I’m yours, Jax, only yours.” She rose to meet his lips with a meaningful kiss. Jax sunk into her deeper with each thrust. “I’m so close, Jax.” Jax took her hands and held them em over hear head against the pillows.
“Come for me Lexi, I’ll be right behind you.”
She bucked her hips into him as he increased his pace. “Oh, Jax, yes!” she cried out, and he felt her core tighten and pulse around him as she came. Jax drove into her a few more times and found his release inside her while crying out her name.
“Lexi, I’m sorry I doubted you,” Jax apologized.
“I get it, Jax. I hope you know now I’ve meant the promises I’ve made, and I’m only asking you this because it’s the only way.”
Jax kissed her on the forehead. “I do, and I’m ready to be there by your side, whatever you need.”
