Chapter 11: A second line
1399 Words
Matilda gave me some time off work to get over what I’d been through. I’d tried to explain where he’d taken me, but they were struggling to find it, they finally did after a week, but, like I’d expected, the place was empty. They’d left.
We took the kids to the same theme park Romulus and Fenris had taken me all those years ago when I thought I’d lost Jax forever, I think we all wanted something to take our minds off Nick and his crimes, including my kidnap.
Elena took after Romulus with the love of scary rides, she went on everything she was allowed to go on, Lucas was pretty brave, but there were some he wouldn’t go on.
Anita didn’t want to go on anything scary, so Jax took her over to the claw machines to try and get some toys. She didn’t like fluffy things, so they found some machines that had fidget type toys in.
One thing Anita did love was water, so the last thing we did was go into the swimming area, so they could play and splash about.
Elena dragged Jax in to chase her and Lucas, so Romulus picked Anita up and carried her into the water.
One woman looked at Anita flapping her hands happily, but the look wasn’t nice.
Romulus was always polite and calm, but he was as protective as Jax when it came to the kids. He caught the woman giving a dirty look and snapped, “what the f***k are you staring at?”
She blushed hard at the hunk of a male who was now glaring at her and stuttered, “nothing, I was just wondering why she’s doing that.”
“Why the dirty look? Why not, if you’re curious, simply come and ask?”
“Isn’t that offensive?” She replied.
“Not as offensive as you looking at her in disgust. For your wondering, she has autism.” She put her head down in shame and apologizing walked away.
“What’s autism daddy?” Anita asked Romulus. We both stared at her in shock. It was the first sentence she’d ever said, and also the first time she’d called him daddy.
I could tell it meant a lot to him, and he kissed her cheek. “I love you sweetheart, autism doesn’t mean anything bad, you’re a special girl, and we love you so much. Ok?”
She gave a nod and kissed his cheek too, and I swear he almost fainted from shock, heck, so did I! Jax saw it and came splashing his way over to us. “Hey, where’s my kiss?” He asked her. Giggling, she grabbed his face with her two little hands and kissed his nose.
Smiling tenderly at her, he whispered, “I love you darling,” then growing more playful he picked her up and grinned, “but that wasn’t the best kiss, this is!” He kissed her on the lips, then her nose, forehead, cheeks, lots of silly kisses that had her giggling and laughing.
I loved seeing my mates’ show love and play with our children, it was the only time I truly saw their soft and gentle sides, and it was beautiful.
When we got home, the kids passed out pretty much right after dinner. It was about eight at night and I felt drained too, so climbed in to bed while Fenris did some pack business and Jax had to punish a pack member for breaking the rules of another pack’s agreement of how far we could travel in to their territory.
It was important the pack was ruled with an iron fist, Jax’s punishments were scary and violent but necessary if we didn’t want to cause a war between another pack.
Romulus was pulled aside by a pack member who wanted to talk about some problems they were having, so I was alone in bed thinking when I felt something happen with our bond.
It didn’t snap or break, we’d made sure that could never happen again, but, I felt it do something, the only way I could describe it was like it split off, creating a second line of bonding directly to Nick. My back arched from the impact and I fell to the floor in pain.
I felt everything, the attraction I’d had towards Nick intensified, and I didn’t just like him anymore, I think, I think maybe I loved him.
What was going on, how was this even possible!
My first thought was to run to my mates’ and tell them everything, so they could help, but then fear enveloped me, I was too scared to tell them in case they wouldn’t want me anymore.
I was their mate and I had seen how much Fenris had lost control when he’d heard Darryl had kissed me for like three seconds, it would be so much worse if he found out my kidnapper was now mated and bonded to me.
And then there was the fact Nick was a predator, a killer, who unlike Jax, killed innocents just because of what they were. What kind of person did that make me? That the goddess mated me to two killers? Was I evil like my mother had told me all my life?
I gasped when I remembered I’d basically humped Nick like a dog! Did that make me a cheat? Did the bond make me a cheat? Why had I gone into heat? So many questions raced through my mind.
I managed to drift off into a restless sleep and felt Jax cuddle up to me later in the night.
I woke up wanting his body, but it wasn’t that crazy in heat feeling. I slid my hand down his boxers and stroked him until he grew hard for me. He moaned softly, still asleep, and slowly I worked him in my hand, I wanted to see him come, he was right, I did enjoy watching when he came everywhere.
He was moaning softly in his sleep and moving his hips a little, and then he woke up groaning, “f***k!” As he came all over my hands and his boxers.
He looked at me, breathing a little fast and smirked, “what was that for?”
“I just felt like it,” I grinned.
He went to grab me, but I jumped up before he could.
“Come on, darling, let me f***k you.”
“We don’t have time, it’s my first day back at work today.”
Groaning in annoyance, he got up and muttered, “at least shower with me.”
I made the mistake of showering with him, of course we’d end up having hot wild s**x In the shower. That’s why we were both being told off when we arrived almost twenty minutes late to work.
Jax had a slight smirk on his face, so I slyly stomped his foot making him growl low in his throat. When Matilda looked at him, he gave her wide innocent eyes and a smile.
She knew Jax well enough by now and sighing muttered, “just get to work.”
He dropped into his desk chair and started clicking his pen but stopped when she glared at him. “What?”
“Work Jax! Don’t just sit there clicking away.”
“Pfft, alright darling, calm down. I’m just a little tired taking care of Rose, she’s in heat.”
If I could have done the exorcist head spin, I would have, my eyes shot to Jax and I gave him the best evil stare I could. How embarrassing! And it wasn’t even true! I was fine today.
Matilda looked at me like she was going to ask something, but her eyes flicked back to Jax and she thought better of it. She left us alone, and I wondered what her look was about.
Nick seemed to be long gone by now, and I wondered what would happen to Sarah, would they kill her off or marry her? Her relationship with them was bizarre to say the least, her and Joel had almost seemed like a mated pair.
After reassurances I wasn’t really too affected by the kidnap and along with therapy work provided, Matilda allowed me to go back to doing my usual job, helping Jax bring in criminal supernaturals.
