She looks down at my hard dick through my jeans and smirks, “You seem to be the one affected Jaxson.”
“Don’t tell me that if I shoved my hand up that dress of yours right now I wouldn’t find your panties soaked.”
Her eyes flare with heat but she tries to hide it behind her smirk, “I guess that’s something you will never find out,” then she stands and adds, “Take your time to settle down before you come and get your food.” She walks away but looks over her shoulder smugly at me. It makes me want to take her to the bathroom and show her just who’s in control.
Shit! The woman is testing my limits and I haven’t even been around her for 24 hours. Clearly it’s going to be harder to restrain myself than I thought. I need to keep a clear head, I’m trying to fix the mess I made, not screw it up more. I look over at her in line and stare at her ass when she bends over to grab something for Margaret.
I’m so fucked!
The drive home is filled with silence. We left shortly after eating, I wanted to get out of there from Gram’s knowing smirk. I shift in my seat feeling restless and cross my legs to try and stop the throbbing that’s happening between them. I need to change my panties they are so wet. I’m pathetic! Why does he have to have this strong of an effect on me? It doesn’t help that it’s been a long time since I had an orgasm. Justin is the only person I have slept with other than Jaxson. That was almost 2 years ago, and for the man being a med student he had absolutely no idea where a woman’s clitoris was located, or maybe he just didn’t care. I dated him for 9 months in hopes of getting over Jaxson. It didn’t work of course, but at least I wasn’t alone, the company was nice.
I get pulled from my thoughts when we pull up to my house and see Cooper’s truck out front.
“He’s here already?”
“I texted him and told him we were on our way back.”
I’m a little annoyed by this since I told him I would call Cooper when I got home. Cooper gets out when we do and I’m happy to see Kayla follow behind him.
“Hey, how are you feeling?” she asks coming up and hugging me.
“Not too bad, my ribs are sore today but my head feels better, surprisingly.”
“Good,” she gives me a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. Before I can ask her about it Cooper breaks in.
“Can we talk about last night Julia?”
“Sure come in,” I take them in the house and get everyone a drink then we sit down together at the table.
Coop lets out breath, “Ok tell me what went down last night. Jennings is saying it was an accident and he’s demanding for me to arrest Jaxson for assault.”
Panic seizes my chest.
“It was kind of an accident… or not,” I shake my head in confusion, “I don’t know Cooper, I have never seen him like that before. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. He was so angry when we left.” I relay the rest of the events from that evening, up to when I told Wyatt I no longer wanted to see him. I feel Jaxson tense when I tell them about Wyatt grabbing me and calling me a cock-tease. I pause and take a breath, “He said he was going to show me how good we could be together. I knew he was going to kiss me. I started screaming and tried to pull away. When you guys showed up he finally let me go and I fell.”
I look over nervously at Jaxson. He’s looking straight ahead, his expression hard as stone. His hands are clenched in fists and you can feel the anger rolling off him in waves.
I look away wearily, “The thing is Cooper, I have no idea what he’s talking about when he said that I’ve been playing head games with him. I’ve barely had any contact with him. That was only the third date we ever had. I ran into him once in a while when I was going to school and it was by chance when I would come back to town. He would always ask me out and I always politely declined. It wasn’t till a few months after I got back from Germany that I ran into him again, and when he asked that time I said ok,” I shrug feeling guilty now, knowing I should have kept declining.
Kayla leans over and grabs my hand, “You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t you dare blame yourself for any of this.”
Cooper breaks in, “Julia, you have grounds to press charges. You wouldn’t have fallen and gotten hurt if he hadn’t forced you there to begin with.”
I glance at Jaxson nervously again. He narrows his eyes as if he knows what I’m going to say next.
“I’m not pressing charges,” I say quietly.
“Fuck that!” Jaxson slams his fist on the table making me jump, “yes you are!”
“Don’t yell at her like that!”
“Kayla stay out of it!” Cooper says sternly.
“Then you tell him too, this is Julia’s decision and hers alone! I will not let her be bullied into anything.” Kayla and Cooper are glaring at each other, you could cut the tension with a knife it’s so thick.
I drop my head in my hands. Lord this is all my fault.
“Julia, I think you should reconsider,” Cooper says more calmly.
“She doesn’t want to fucking press charges because of me. She thinks if she doesn’t then he won’t, but you’re wrong baby.” Jaxson’s tone softens and he turns my face towards him. “If he wants to press charges he will, no matter what you do. Don’t let him get away with this Julia.”
I swallow thickly and hold my tears at bay, “I don’t want anything to happen to you because of this.” I turn and look at Cooper now, “Couldn’t you talk to him Cooper? Tell Wyatt that I’ll drop the charges against him if he drops his against Jaxson?”
