Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run

Chapter 233 Bonus Punishment

"

Scarlett didn't feel punished—at least not yet. Touching Jax when he was asleep was easier than when he was awake, but awake added a whole new exciting dimension. It was the way he looked at her when she was touching him that made her feel like she was going to burst into flames.

She was feeling all the stuff romance novels told her she was supposed to feel when she touched a man, but it still scared her. Maybe Jax and his overload of testosterone was more than she could handle, but as long as her brain was in control, she should be OK.

She'd gotten through all the punishment pretty easily with some embarrassment that was easily outweighed by the pleasure of being forced by Jax to touch him. Still, she wasn't going to let him take advantage of her at least not without a little bit of a fight.

"You never said anything about bonus punishment," Scarlett said outraged.

"You shouldn't have made me pick the punishment," Jax said, rocking on his heels and smiling at her. "That triggered the bonus punishment."

"That's not fair. You didn't tell me that."

"Scars, darlin', life isn't fair."

"You're taking advantage of me."

"Just like you did to me when I was asleep."

Scarlett looked down at the carpet. She still felt bad about her inappropriate behavior when he was drunk, but he had come to her drunk. It wasn't the same as a guy getting a girl drunk for sexual purposes or someone dosing a drink for the same reason. He had sort of deserved it, but she decided it was best not to mention that or things might get worse for her.

"Just get it over with."

"Hands behind your back," he ordered.

Scarlett looked up at him. She never got used to his size. She was tall and wasn't used to guys towering over her and Jax towered over her. His strength was also something new. She was used to office types. Jax was much more physical.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

"Where's the fun in that?" Scarlett asked. The words slipped out without thought. "I didn't mean that," she added hastily.

Jax laughed softly. Scarlett put her hands behind her back. Jax wrapped his left hand around her small, slender wrists imprisoning them. He rubbed his beard along her jaw.

"I'm kind of ticklish," she whispered.

"So you would rather that I'm rough and not gentle?"

Scarlett thought her heart was going to pound out of her chest. She was sure that Jax wasn't talking about rubbing his beard against her skin now.

"Nothing," she replied. "I'd rather nothing."

"Not an option for you," he whispered in her ear as he began to rub his beard along her neck. Scarlett tugged, trying to free her wrists. His grip was too strong and she quit struggling.

He rubbed his beard along her neck and then he began to kiss her neck slowly. She felt weak in the knees. She sucked in her breath and concentrated on not showing a reaction to what Jax was doing to her. He took a nibble out of her earlobe before pulling away.

"The four years without sex is starting to show," he observed as he released her wrists. A smile was tugging at his lips.

"I can go another four years no problem," she said coolly, but her face was flushed. "I can take care of my own sexual needs. Thanks."

Jax burst into laughter.

"I wasn't suggesting having sex with you. I was offering you a free medical assessment."

"I've heard about your reputation. Have you ever turned a girl down for sex?"

Jax frowned, appearing to think.

"I can't remember ever turning a girl down for sex," he said leaning down to whisper in her ear, "but you could be the first."

She didn't believe for a second Jax would turn her down. For a moment, Scarlett thought about pointing out to Jax that it was still early and asking him if they could do the punishment again—especially the last part, but her brain took control.

Pointing out to Jax that he didn't seem to understand the whole concept that punishment was supposed to discourage the punished behavior would not be smart. He could come up with some actual punishment that she might not enjoy.

All she knew was she wanted to do something again because she was going to be a bad bad girl and Jax was going to need to punish her again and again and probably again.
