8. Adrenaline #3
Deja furrowed her brow at the newly stitched bruise on the side of Jax’s face and went to touch it when Jax abruptly grabbed her hand.
Raising a curious brow, Jax deeply inhaled the scent on her fingers.
Deja’s breathing quickened as Jax held her gaze while slowly sucking her dried arousal from her fingers between his lips. She felt herself start to leak again.
As Jax slowly pulled her fingers from his mouth, he licked his lips and grabbed her waist. “Tell me what happened,” he demanded.
“Our girl went batshit crazy!”
Keith cackled as an irritated Deja tightly tied a bandage around Keith’s wounded arm. “Boy, shut the hell up. I did not ‘go crazy’,” she snapped.
“Oh yes, you did. And it was hot as hell. Covered in all that blood. She was so fucking gorgeous,” Keith grinned as he pulled her onto his lap.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Keith buried his face into Deja’s neck.
“My baby girl was a fucking badass. Do you see how hard you’ve made me?
” he said, pushing his erection into her ass.
“You can’t even begin to imagine how badly I want to fuck you right now.
Just fill… every goddamn hole until you’re scream-”
“Keith,” Jax said with warning. Deja crawled out of Keith’s lap and playfully shoved him as Keith laughed, amused.
“I mean, literally running towards danger is probably the most questionable thing I’ve ever seen you do,” Caleb grinned as he stepped into the living room after putting Chloe to bed. “Still… it was pretty hot watching you go full Mama Bear.”
Deja rolled her eyes with a smirk. “Y’all are not about to gang up on me and use me to change the subject. We need to address how many rules you’ve broken, and the number of lies you’ve told me today alone! You said Jax was sick when he was out killing people-”
“I mean, he was sick… of those people, which is why he killed them. Technically, not a lie,” Keith shrugged.
Deja sucked her teeth. “Why are they even doing this? I’ve been off the radar- I’ve been as careful as possible, and these assholes won’t leave me the hell alone!”
“Deja-” Jax started.
“Ian’s right! I don’t feel any fucking remorse for them because how dare they target me at my own damn home!” she snapped. “How dare they target my parents, my family, and try to kill my men! Who the fuck do they think they are?!”
The room fell silent as Jax arched a surprised brow. Confused by their silence, Deja looked at them blankly. “...what?”
“...your men?” Ian asked.
Deja’s eyes widened at the realization. “I meant my family.”
“You said ‘my men’.” Keith mused with a Cheshire grin as his cheeks flushed. “You’re fucking in love with us!”
“I did not say that!” Deja snapped.
“You might as well have!” Keith blurted. “You are so in love with us! Your men? Fuck yes!”
“I didn’t mean it like that-” Deja started.
“I don’t even mind sharing with my dickhead cousin at this rate,” Keith cackled.
“Fuck you, Keith,” Caleb said, flipping him off.
“Exactly how obsessed with us are you?” Keith smirked.
“Would you shut up?! I did not say any of that!” Deja protested.
“So you’re not in love with any of us?” Ian interjected.
Deja froze as she met Ian’s expectant gaze.
Her breathing hitched as she looked at each of them, struggling to speak.
“I… I didn’t say that either.” The room fell silent again as they all looked at her.
“What the hell is this?! Why are you guys pressuring me to admit my feelings for you?” she blurted.
“No one is doing that, Deja,” Jax said.
“I am. So what you’re saying is, you do have feelings for us,” Keith grinned when Caleb threw a pillow at his head.
“That’s enough,” Jax said, catching how flustered Deja was becoming. “Keith kept one of them alive. We’ll find out everything he knows, and then put a hole through his chest and send his head back in a box.”
Deja looked up at Jax as he approached her. She saw the struggle in his blue eyes as he held her hand between his. “I will end this, Deja. I will protect you and keep you and our daughter safe. I swear it. But you and Chloe should stay with your parents. It would be easier-”
“Jax, you’ve truly lost your mind if you think I’m gonna sit at home twiddling my thumbs, wondering if you guys are okay or not.
Besides, they’re after me. She’s not safe with me.
I’ll leave Chloe with my parents. But I’m going with you,” she said firmly.
A grin teased the corner of Ian’s mouth as Caleb tilted his head up, and Keith smirked.
“...as you wish,” Jax smiled.
“Thanks, Mom. I’ll drop her off in the morning. Love you too.” Deja slowly exhaled as she hung up the phone. She couldn’t imagine being without her daughter, but she felt better knowing her daughter would be safe with her parents.
She heard laughter from the suite’s living room. Taking a step back, she saw Jax changing Chloe’s diaper while Ian affectionately peppered her tiny hand with kisses, Keith made her laugh with silly faces, and Caleb made her a bottle.
Tilting her head to the side, a warm smile spread across Deja’s face, matching the warmth she felt in her stomach. She loved seeing them like this. Playful. Affectionate. A family. She loved seeing this side of them. Tender. Kind. Compassionate.
She loved…
Deja’s eyes suddenly widened as realization set in.
“...You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!”
