My eyes widen.

Dagger is standing there, lookingwaytoo entertained.

I press my lips together, unsure if I should speak, but I nod instead, my face burning.

Jax exhales sharply, still standing between me and the door. "You need something, man?"

Dagger smirks, his gaze flicking between us. "Nah, just forgot something I needed. Don’t mind me."

He snags something off a filing cabinet, gives us one last look, then laughs as he walks away.

Jax mutters a curse under his breath, rubbing his hands down his face before looking back at me.

I groan, dropping my forehead against his chest. "I hate everything."

His chest shakes with laughter, but when I push against him, he lets me go, stepping back just enough for me to slide off the desk.

He watches me closely, his eyes still heated, still wanting. I know if I let him, he’d have me right back where I was—half undressed, pressed against him, lost in the way he makes me feel.

But reality has officially intruded. I exhale, smoothing my sweatshirt back into place. "I need to get back."

Jax tilts his head. "You got plans?"

I shrug, trying to sound casual. "I mean, it’s Friday night. I plan on relaxing on my couch and eating snacks."

Something flickers in his eyes. "That so?"

"Yep."

Jax steps closer, a slow smirk tugging at his lips. “What kind of snacks are we talking?”

I cross my arms, mirroring his expression. “If you can guess, you’re invited.”

His brows pull together slightly before he laughs. “Okay, let’s see… popcorn?”

I tilt my head side to side, considering. “That’s an easy one, but yeah.”

His smirk widens. “Chips?”

I shake my head. “Too basic.”

“Chocolate?”

I narrow my eyes. “Be more specific.”

He leans in, voice dropping. “Something salty? Sweet? Both?”

I bite my lip, refusing to give him any hints.

His grin deepens. “Chocolate-covered pretzels.”

My face gives me away before I can stop it. His smirk turns victorious.

“That a yes?” he asks.

I roll my eyes. “Maybe.”

He nods like he’s really thinking it through. “All right. What else? Ice cream?”
