I shrug my shoulders and stay silent, not wanting to talk about it, it’s too painful.
“Look, let’s just take one step at a time, let’s get back what we had before, then we can go from there. I don’t want to lose you again Julia.”
“You didn’t lose me Jaxson, you pushed me away. There’s a difference.”
With that I slip out of his grasp and walk away, he does nothing to stop me, but I didn’t expect him too. I’m tired of being rejected and I decide from here on out, no more attempts on my part. The rest is up to him.
A few days later I’m standing at my kitchen sink cursing up a storm. I try to pry the handle on the tap up, but can’t, the damn thing is stuck.
“What’s wrong?” Jaxson asks, walking up behind me.
“The stupid tap is jammed. Ugh! I should just buy a whole new sink, the damn thing is like 100 years old anyways.”
Jaxson pushes me to the side, “Watch out, I got this.”
I roll my eyes at his arrogance.
At first he tries to pull it up firmly but not too hard, finally he gives up and decides to really reef on it. All of a sudden there’s a loud pop… oh no! I yelp and jump out of the way quickly as water sprays out everywhere, all over Jaxson.
“Fuck!” Jaxson tries screwing back on the handle that he just ripped off, all the while water is soaking his chest and face. Finally he gets it back on.
“Shit,” he says breathing heavily, looking a little stunned.
I stand frozen with my hand cupped over my mouth, my body shaking as I try to hold in my laughter.
Jaxson turns and glares at me, “Are you laughing?”
I shake my head, but a snort escapes me, proving my lie.
“You think this shit is funny Julia?” he asks annoyed, but has a gleam in his eye.
Uh-oh, I know that look. I turn around and bolt as fast as I can, I hear Jaxson close behind me. I speed up and try running up the stairs into my bedroom so I can lock my door, of course I’m nowhere near fast enough.
He grabs me from behind and carries me up the rest of the stairs into the main bathroom.
“Oh my god, what are you doing!?” I shriek, trying to kick free.
Jaxson holds me against him with one arm while he leans over with the other one, turning on the shower.
“Oh my god, you wouldn’t!” I squirm and manage to get free from his grasp. Yet again I don’t make it far before he has me back against him.
“Jaxson don’t you dare! I mean it, I will kick your ass.”
He grunts, then lifts me into the warm water with all my clothes still on. I gasp and try to escape but Jaxson comes in holding me under the spray till I’m soaked.
Ugh! My hair looked really damn good today too. “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!”
Jaxson snickers and I give him my best glare. “What are you going to do about it Julia?” he asks arrogantly.
Warm water pours down me while I look him over, his wet shirt is plastered to his hard body… Suddenly something perfect comes to mind.
He loses his smirk and looks nervously at my smug smile.
I saunter closer to him, “I can think of a few things to do.” I make my voice breathless as I run my finger slowly down his chest to the waist band of his jeans.
“What are you doing?” he asks gruffly.
I look down and grab his hard length through his wet jeans and squeeze.
“Shit!” he sucks in a sharp breath and drop his head back against the wall.
Holy crap! I forgot how big he is.
“You know Jaxson, I owe you for the other day and I’m thinking now would be a good time to repay you.”
I drop to my knees in front of him and unsnap his jeans.
“Oh fuck!” his breathing is harsh and his muscles tense. Although I’m only messing with him I can’t help it when my own breathing speeds up with desire.
Once I unzip him I push open the flaps of his jeans. Leaning in I press a soft kiss to his hard length through his black boxer briefs. He groans loudly and, I’m not going to lie, it’s not just my clothes that are wet now.
I look up and see Jaxson’s jaw clenched, his eyes shut, waiting for me to take him in my mouth.
“Oh wait, what am I doing?” Jaxson’s eyes snap open as I stand up, “I totally forgot… friends only.” I give myself a little tap on the head, his eyes narrow dangerously at me.
I let out a big dramatic sigh, “Well I guess I better go and change now.” I give him a quick pat on the chest then I turn around to step out of the shower.
“I don’t fucking think so,” he spins me around and crushes his mouth to mine roughly. And I’m a total sucker, wrapping my arms around his neck I kiss him back with everything I have. He picks me up easily and I wrap my legs around his waist, as he slams us against the shower wall.
He tears his mouth away from mine, his expression savage, “It’s time you learned just who is in control here Julia.” I moan loudly when he slams his hips against the spot I crave him most.
Oh god he can be really sexy when he’s arrogant. He bends his head down and grazes his teeth over my stiff nipple through my thin wet tank top. I whimper and dig my nails into his shoulders.
All of a sudden Jaxson tenses under me and freezes.
“What?” I ask breathlessly.
Then I hear it… a knock on my door.
Oh my god. This is not happening right now.
Jaxson speaks my thoughts, “Are you fucking kidding me?” He looks at me now, “Are you expecting someone?”
I shake my head, someone bangs on the door again and not all that gently. “Ignore it,” I say crashing my mouth to his again. I rock my hips against his hardness making him groan and kiss me back.
