Chapter 38: She’s back

2431 Words
Jax came over to me, putting his bottle down on the desk, and pulled me into his arms. “Hey, don’t be scared of me darling, you know I would never, ever hurt you in a million years for any reason, I wouldn’t hurt anyone who wasn’t evil or sick and twisted like those monsters.” I mumbled into his chest, “what about if someone made you so angry or treated you bad?” He pulled me away from him, keeping his hands on my shoulders so he could look me in the eyes and said, “Rose, I swear to God no, I’ve known plenty of c.unts in my life, I’ve had girlfriends cheat on me, I’ve had bar fights, I’ve had d.icks being rude and talking to me like s.hit, but never ever would I ever murder them for it, I’ve been in full rage mode and not gone on a killing spree, I can control myself.” Still wide-eyed and with a racing heart, I said, “I’m not sure the fact that you are so in control isn’t even more terrifying, the fact you choose to purposely act out these…things you do to your victims.” He held my face between his hands and was almost pleading when he said, “Rose, this is why I was so hesitant about accepting you as my true mate. Listen to me, I’m fifty shades of f.ucked up I know that, but I swear I would never hurt someone who’s not a monster to other people and children, and yeah, I realise that makes me a hypocrite, but I can’t stand the thought of an innocent being t.ortured by these vile monsters and I just stand back and let it happen, the justice system is bulls.hit, you know how long one of my victims got for having indecent images of—” he trailed off unable to finish without getting angry. “And that’s not including he had a daughter, he got four f.ucking years, that’s it, some of those pictures he was in!” My heart slowed down, and my fear subsided as I grew upset and angry for those children, hearing the passion and care in Jax’s voice, I knew he meant it, he wouldn’t ever hurt anyone who wasn’t truly evil like that man. It wasn’t just child predators Jax went for, either, it was other murderers. I remembered hearing on the news about a woman who was a survivor from a murderer who had abducted her to t.orture and kill, the reason she survived was because Jax had gotten to him before he could kill her. Even though I hated the idea of Jax killing, I also understood he had helped save a lot of people without them realizing and it had gone undetected until now. If what he’s ex had said was true, then the police were looking for Jax. I wrapped my arms around his waist and felt him relax against me. “If your ex is right, you need to stop.” I felt him reluctantly nod in agreement, “I will for now, there’s no leads for me right now anyway, so I don’t have to feel guilty.” We were stood there for a while before Jax finally spoke, “can we think of something more cheerful now?” When I just looked up at him, he grinned and said, “I want to do something for you, seeing as you’ve had to put up with so much s.hit from me lately.” I looked at him with confusion, but he didn’t elaborate, just left the hotel, making me follow and then climbed into his car. I was still trying to figure out where we were going as we drove. We finally arrived in a very posh looking neighborhood and stopped outside a beautiful small house. It was painted white and had a small driveway with flowers and bushes, and all I could think as I looked at it was, ‘this is the perfect little cottage home.’ Jax knocked the door of the home, and it was Annie who answered. As she welcomed us in and we stepped inside, I looked around in awe. They really were rich, not just wealthy but full-blown rich. The house looked small from the outside but once you stepped inside you realized how big it was. The hallway had dark laminate flooring as you walked down. To the first left was the living room which was done in olive greens, gold and cream tones, again, with oak laminate flooring and a big fluffy cream rug and vintage ornaments and furniture giving the feel of a Victorian era about it. I could happily get all cozy and warm here with the fire on, and as much as I wanted to carry on looking around at the home, Jax snapped me back to reality by grabbing my arm and pulling me down onto the sofa. I gave him an annoyed look for grabbing me, but if he noticed he didn’t show it. Annie sat next to me so that I was in the middle of them both on the three-piece sofa and smiled at me. “So Rose, I know it’s been hard for you living with the pack as an omega, and while I know it might be a little easier now you’re mated to my brothers, I figured you might still want your own space. You can still live with the pack of course, but I thought if you ever needed space, especially from my dipshit brothers, or if you find things overwhelming, then you could also have another home to go to. Jax paid, I just chose the place.” She handed me some keys and showed me a picture of a stunning little cottage house that looked just like hers from the outside. My face must have been one of utter shock while I swear my heart almost leaped out of my throat for sheer excitement and joy. They laughed at my expression, and Annie grabbed me into a hug when I started to cry. I couldn’t thank her or Jax enough and she finally told me to shut up, not unkindly when we were parking up outside the house, and I was still thanking them. Jax laughed softly at me, he was looking at me like he was happy and content that I was so happy, and it warmed my heart to see him look at me like that. We arrived at the house, and it was beautiful, an old looking brick house with vines and flowers going up the sides of it and rose bushes around the place, it had a gorgeous front garden with a brick walkway to the door while everything else was grass and flowers. Inside it was similar to Annie’s place with wood flooring and beautiful brown fur rugs in the living room and hallway. It was very vintage and cozy looking, and I loved the small little fire place in front of the brown three-piece sofa with a white blanket thrown over it. An hour later and after jumping up and down with Annie, both of us screaming excitedly and Jax covering his ears and telling us to “shut the f***k up,” we were back in the car. The second gift they had done for me was finding a dentist and paying for me to have my braces removed, they’d needed to be removed two months ago, but I’d left it as I couldn’t afford to have it done, and I didn’t want to ask anyone for help and be a burden. An appointment was booked and I was so excited. I grew insecure and worried if Jax would find me more attractive, I was certainly no Zara, but I wondered if the braces being gone would help, maybe I should use contacts instead of my glasses too. Though I couldn’t stand putting anything in my eyes. I must have been too quiet on the ride back because he gave me a gentle nudge and I looked up at him. He frowned at whatever expression showed on my face and moved up next to me so that our sides were touching, and his arm was draped lazily across the back of my seat. “What’s up?” He asked. “Nothing, I’m happy, thank you.” I kissed his cheek and pulled back fast, looking at him worried. I knew he was working on being more affectionate in public. He wasn’t smiling, and I thought I had p.issed him off until he leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips, delicate and chaste. “Don’t f.ucking do that,” he murmured. “Do what?” I whispered back. He rolled his eyes at me, becoming slightly less serious and muttered, “worrying about whether you can show me affection, if you want to kiss me then f.ucking grab me and kiss me.” Butterflies fluttered in my tummy at his words and with a mock serious expression, I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down, kissing him long and hard. He pulled back laughing and for the first time, I swear, blushing. We had dinner with Annie and her daughter and then made our own way back home. When we got back to the pack house it was to see Zara leaning on Jax’s motorbike outside. I’d almost forgotten he had a motorbike. She was purposely leaning in a sexy pose and being female and surrounded by a dominated female household growing up, I knew she was dressed to…impress Jax. She was wearing a skin-tight dark red dress that stopped halfway up her thighs, so that when she went to cross her legs we were left in no doubt that her underwear matched the color of the dress, I could even tell you that they were lacy. She wore dark red lipstick to match and smoky eyes done with gold and a soft charcoal color. Her hair was up in a professionally done bun, so that soft waves and curls fell in bits and pieces around her face. She was absolutely beautiful but boy did she know it. I wondered if she had purposely gone home to change just for Jax’s sake. I mentally rolled my eyes and snapped my head up to Jax when he made a low sound in his throat and whispered to himself, “f***k me.” I chose the moment of him looking her up and down and biting his lip to slam my fist into his groin. He doubled over and glared at me, for just a moment, I saw the dangerous predator that he could be before he lost his anger and gave me an apologetic look. “I’m sorry Rose, I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m still getting used to this whole being in a relationship thing.” I really looked at him then and snapped, “you’ve been in relationships before, with her at one point to be precise!” “Not exactly, yes, I’ve been in a relationship with her, but it wasn’t exactly monogamous.” I looked at him in both surprise and confusion and waited for him to explain. He finally stood up straight again, no longer clutching his groin and said, “she loved being treated like a delicate princess, both in and out of the bedroom. I could treat her that way out of the bedroom but as you know I’m not so into that sexually. She found it in other men, and I found what I needed in other women.” “I still don’t understand.” I glanced over at her waiting, glad she hadn’t noticed us yet. He sighed in frustration and tried to explain. “She enjoys making love, soft touches, romance and all that s.hit in bed more than rough s**x, and I enjoy rough s**x more, well, not s**x, you’re my first, but I needed a woman who could dominate me and punish me sexually, like I explained to you before.” I remembered him telling me a little bit about it and then asked, “how can you be monogamous with me then? I don’t give you hardcore s**x, in fact, I’m pretty sure we’ve been having normal s**x ninety-nine percent of the time and I definitely am in no way dominant.” I was rushing my words just a little and Jax grabbed me by the shoulders and laughed, “darling calm down, it’s fine, I’m not going anywhere and I would never betray you. Who knows, maybe we can train you to be a little rougher in bed.” He winked and then added, “I’m not too rough because you’re still new to it all, and I don’t want to hurt you while your body is getting used to s**x. Plus, s**x is keeping me way more satisfied than any foreplay ever did.” He winked again and pulled me in to his arms whispering, “don’t worry about Zara, I had a typical male moment, but never in a million years would I do anything with her or anyone, I swear to you, you can trust me, we are mated to one another.” Looking up into his eyes, I knew he meant it…I believed him. I knew it was silly to be jealous that he could find another person attractive, hell I did, I guess it’s always hard to accept when you know you are the ugly downgrade. I snapped myself out of my self-pitying thoughts as we made our way over to her. She looked up and smiled big and wide, standing up and coming over to meet us. She grabbed Jax into a hug, pressing her b.reasts against him firmly and then did the same thing to me. Jax laughed but stopped at my expression and said, “Zara, don’t flirt with Rose, you know she belongs to me.” I wasn’t sure if I liked the way he said, belonged to him, but I let it be. She looked at Jax in surprise and answered, “I didn’t realize, she’s an omega and not your usual type—” Jax cut her off before she could finish, saying, “f***k off Zara, you know I’m into anyone if I feel a connection.” “What about Jake? He liked you big time, but you wouldn’t give him the time of day and you treated him like s.hit.”
