their lowest, petty criminals go to jail for murder, as long as they are in the clear and the work has been done.
Thanks to me though and the two idiots I saw bragging about who they work for and what they’ve done for them, I have enough evidence to put a lot of them away for a long time and tie them to heaps of other stuff.
I hear Jax ending the conversation and thankfully he mentioned nothing about the little break-in to my apartment; if they think all is well that’s good.
I quickly slip the memory card back into the mints tin I carry in my bag and shake it a little to mix it in with the mints. Genius I know; who would think to look in a tin full of mints for a memory card. Thankfully I managed to transfer the video to the card before the detectives took my phone for evidence – which not surprisingly is now missing.
Jax knocks lightly before entering and then sits next to me on the bed.
“You okay?” he asks softly.
“Okay? Why wouldn’t I be okay?” I ask. Dammit I sound way too nervous so I take in a deep calming breath.
He reaches out and skims his thumb over my lip, pulling it free from my bite. Dammit I didn’t realise I was doing that either and god does he make my insides burn; even just from that simple touch.
He turns his head a little to the side and grins at me.
“You’re a pain in the ass Charli, you know that?”
“Quit the job then” I tease and my breath starts to quicken when he inches a little closer. I realise his hand is still touching my face as it slides around and his fingers slip through my hair.
“This jobs too enticing babe” he responds and softly his lips finally touch mine. Did he just call me babe again? Oh god he’s finally kissing me, and I mean really kissing me.
I groan and crush my lips harder against his. When I think he’s going to pull away because we’ve crossed some imaginary line, his hand slides through my hair, around my neck and pulls my body closer against him; I instinctively reach out and grasp his tight, muscly arms.
“You’re the only reason I took this job in the first place” he says before he slides his other hand against my thigh and along my side.
“You’re so full of shit” I laugh and pull away from him. Ha! How does he like it? Not so nice when you go in for a kiss and the other person backs out.
I stand up and pull off his jumper regretfully, dropping it on the floor.
“I’m jumping in the shower, is that okay?” I ask and smile innocently. He’s staring at me, mouth open and looks lost for words. I shrug and saunter into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I’ve got him right where I want him it looks like. Seems he’s wanted to kiss me just as badly as I wanted to kiss him the other day. I practically jump up and down like an idiot and then feel stupid, what am I 10 years old?
I’ve got the biggest grin on my face though and my stomach is all in knots; either from him; or most likely from the state we’ve just found my apartment in. That’s the best explanation I can give right now. Surely this isn’t love though, lust maybe? 100% yes. Oh who am I kidding, I’ve crushed on Jax from the first day he stepped into my room, bossing me around, and telling me where I can go and what I can do. Who knew I liked being bossed around and man-handled, by someone other than my mum obviously.
I’m just going to kick this up a notch and flirt shamelessly but never giving in. Hopefully he caves and gives in first to all my irresistible charm. I hold in a laugh at how stupid I sound and turn the shower on.
I shimmy out of my dress, dropping it on the floor and slip out of my bra and lace panties. I slide into the shower and the hot water automatically soothes me and calms me down. I haven’t quite figured out yet whether its nerves from having my apartment destroyed, knowing people are after me, or because I’ll be sharing an apartment with Jax. I shrug and let myself relax under the water, soothing my muscles as much
