Chapter 6

***Gracie's POV***

We hung out and had a few more beers before Jax pulled me over to one of the couches and sat down, pulling me into his lap. We spent most of the time there just talking and laughing until I started yawning. "You tired babe?" he asked. "A little but I'm good." I tell him, not wanting him to feel like he has to go to bed because of me. "Come on." he says as he leads me to stand. Getting up, he leads me to the dorm. "Jax, you don't have to stay." I tell him. "I'm ready to head to bed with my girl." he tells me and I can't help but smile.

He strips down to his boxers and I start to turn off the light to change. I guess he sensed what I was doing because he stopped me. "Hey, don't hide from me. I want to see you." he says. Looking down, I start to slide my jeans down my legs, leaving me in just my panties and shirt. I slide my bra off with my shirt still on and slide into bed. He pulls me to him and kisses me softly. Pulling back to look at me, he says "You don't have to hide from me. You're mine. I want to see how beautiful you are." I lower my head and lay it against his chest as the tears start. "Hey." he says as he tries to lift my head. I pull away and get out of the bed. I walk into the bathroom and close the door. Sitting down on the floor against the door as the tears keep falling. "Gracie. Baby. Please open the door." he pleads. "I just need a minute." I tell him. I take a few deep breaths and get myself together before splashing water on my face. I have to stop letting myself go there. I'm with a man that wants me. One that is happy with me. I take another deep breath and open the door to see him standing there, worried. "I'm okay." I tell him. He pulls me into his arms and says "Baby, I wish you could see yourself the way I do. You are fucking perfect." I wrap my arms around him and whisper "Let's go to bed."

Laying down, we are lying facing each other. "Jax, I really want this to work." I tell him. "I do to Darlin." he whispers. I lean forward and kiss him. I just can't stop kissing him. He hovers over me and I feel his hard on pressing into my leg and I can't believe reacting like this with me. He kisses down my neck and his hand runs under the hem of my shirt. He looks at me as if to make sure I'm okay. I kiss him again and don't stop him. He kisses down my neck and I pull him up to look at me. "Love me Jax." He looks into my eyes for a minute to see if there's any hesitation and when he sees none, he kisses my lips and when he breaks the kiss again, it's to pull my shirt over my head, leaving me in just my panties. Kissing down my body, he kisses between my breasts, making sure to pay attention to each one before kissing farther down my body. Kissing my stomach, the one part of my body that I hate, he looks up at me and says "Fucking sexy as hell." before kissing his way down between my legs. Kissing the inside of one thigh before doing the same to the other, before finally burying his face in my core. Licking and sucking and causing me to come undone. Sliding first one finger and then two inside me and thrusting in and out as he licks and sucks my clit, he causes me to reach one climax after another. Finally he moves back up my body and kisses me softly and I can taste myself on his lips. I feel him press against my entrance and I raise my hips as if begging for him. He enters me slowly and starts to thrust in and out at a slow and steady pace. It's then I realize that he's not just having sex with me. He's making love to me. Whispering in my ear he says "You are mine Gracelynn. My girl. I need you so much." Moaning his name, I reach another climax before he follows right behind me.

Laying together in our blissful afterglow, I lay there thinking how sex has never felt like that. No one has ever said things like that to me before or made me feel that wanted before. I look up at him and see him watching me. We don't say anything. He kisses me softly and I lay my head back down on his chest. After a couple of minutes of listening to his heartbeat, I hear him whisper. "I love you." Smiling I look back up at him and say "I love you Jackson." He kisses me softly again. We've said I love you before because we have been best friends most of our lives but this was different and we both know it. He holds me closer to him and we both drift off to sleep.
