Chapter 27- August Marks

Jax waited at the spot that was agreed upon to meet Pope with the first installment of money from the recent coke shipment. Pope and a couple of other cars pulled up. A tall black man got out the driver side and opens the door for Jax to get in with Pope. By the way the man was looking at Jax he figured it had to be Marks.

"Is that Marks?" Jax asked when he got in the car with Pope.

"The one and only. I have known him all my life. Jade brought out the best in him. I'm sure you would agree she is a hell of a woman."

"Yes she is." Jax responded.

Pope offered Jax and the club a new proposal he wanted to double their coke haul and he will pay them another hundred thousand on top of what the cartel was paying them. Pope told Jax he will not take a bite out of any of the money.

"I will also give you 2% of my profits on the extra keys to you. It is a gentlemen's agreement just between us. I want to make sure you keep that beautiful woman of yours accustom to the lifestyle she's use to."

"Jade lives a fine lifestyle and I have provided for her since day one and will always provide for my family." He told Pope trying not to appear upset.

"So is that a no to the gentlemen's agreement?"

"I'm not crazy…I'm not saying no."

"Smart….I will set up a meet with Lin, The Mayans and Niners about the new deal. If your club agrees you can take the meeting if not things will stay as is."

"Ok. I will let you know."

"August would like a word with you on your way out." Pope told Jax as he was getting out of the car. Jax shut the door and found August standing by the car waiting on him. Jax walked over to him. August extended his hand and Jax took it to shake.

"I gather you know who I am."

"Yes I do. What do you want?" Jax asked getting impatient.

"I just wanted to meet the man that got Jade to finally settle down. I also want to tell you that you have nothing to fear from me. I want Pope's relationship with your club to be profitable."

"I appreciate that." Jax told him "Anything else?" August shook his head no. Jax started to walk to his bike and August called after him.

"I hear you and her have a son together." Jax turned around.

"Yes, we have two sons."

Marks nodded his head at Jax.

"Good for you guys." Marks climbed into the car and him and Pope drove off.

A couple of weeks later.

"Jax hurry up we are going to be late. Why are you taking longer than me to get ready? It's not like you are wearing a tux." Jade called after him. Jade threw on his cut over the white button down shirt Jade brought him. They were attending a fundraiser dinner tonight for mental illness. Jade was passionate about this fundraiser as she always said that people did not believe mental illness was a disease and money was scarce for programs to help those with mental illness so this fundraiser she was invited to was important to her. Even though it was a black tie event Jax would not be caught dead in a tuxedo. She compromised with him to at least wear a button down white shirt. Jax walked out the room ready to go and almost instinctively went to check on the boys. He then remembered they were at Gemma's spending the night. She took the boys so they could have a date night. Jax would not call this a date night as he was kind of force to attend a stuffy fundraiser where he was sure he would be uncomfortable. A date night to him would be taking Jade out for a ride on his bike and taking her out to dinner. He shook his head, as he thought how Jade has never rode on the back of his bike. Almost two years together and she still refused to get on the back of his bike. He will have to figure out how to get her on the bike soon. Jax pulled at his collar already uncomfortable as he walked into the living room where Jade was waiting. He took comfort in knowing Opie would be there and just as uncomfortable as he was. Jax stopped short when he saw Jade standing in the living room patiently waiting for him. She was absolutely beautiful. The long black dress she wore hugged every curve of her body. The neckline was not too deep but when she turned around the dress had an open back and it was dangerously low. The side had a split almost up to her thighs. Her hair was straighten and on top of her head in a messy bun. She wore crystal chandelier earrings with a beautiful crystal bracelet to match. She smiled when she saw his reaction.

"Babe you look beautiful but I don't know if I can let you walk out the door with that on." Jax told her with all seriousness.

She walked over and kissed him on the cheek instantly wiping off the red lipstick stain on his cheek.

"Yes you can….just remember I'm coming home to you tonight."

He shook his head. "I don't know Jade."

She interlock her arm with his.

"Come on honey before we are late." Jax took her keys and drove them to the event. After a few moments of searching, they found their table with Kim and Opie. Kim and Opie stood up to hug them both. Kim looked so beautiful in her dress with her baby bump showing.

They were having a wonderful time and even Jax and Opie were smiling. Jade even talked Jax to dance a slow song with her. Her dress had many people admiring her and Jax made sure during the dance he let everyone know she was his as hand were constantly on her hips and butt.

The drinks were included with the expensive dinner and Jade took full advantage. She was soon on her third dirty martini when Kim face frowned up in a direction.

"What?" Jade asked as she looked in the direction Kim was looking. She saw Tara walking pass the table with a guy. What the hell was she doing here? Jade remembered that the committee did invite all the medical professionals in town. When Jax took notice that she was walking by he grabbed Jade's hand as if to make sure she would remain calm. She was calm as she gave Tara the evil eye. Tara looked at her and then Jax and passed the table without a word.

"You alright?" Jax asked.

"I'm fine." Jade put on her best fake smile and Jax frowned at her as he could see right through her. Jade needed another drink and asked Jax to get the attention of their waiter. Her whole night was just ruined. Jade was trying hard to have a good time and not relive the betrayal of Jax and Tara but it was hard to shake. Jax excused himself to the bathroom and after about ten minutes, she started to search the room for him. She looked to the back of the room and found him sitting at Tara's table talking to her date. What the fuck! Jade was buzzing hard and she was about to go get him when Kim grabbed her arm and told her to stay put.

"Don't forget you are a professional in this town Jade." Kim hissed to her squeezing her arm a little to get her point across. Jade sat back, pouted, and ordered another drink.

"This is your last one." Kim told her. Jade rolled her eyes at her. She wasn't her mom

In mid sip of her fifth dirty martini, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

"Hey beautiful." A deep voice said to her. Jade closed her eyes as she thought her night could not get any worse. It was August Marks. Jade turned around to look at him and smiled her best smile. He looked stunning in his tuxedo. Marks was always a handsome man but not seeing him in years he looked really good and it was not her martini goggles talking to her.

"You want to dance?" he asked her. Jade looked back at Jax and saw him talking to Tara now and he did not even see that Marks had come up to the table. Before she even knew what she was saying, she said yes. Kim gave her a stern look and Opie just sat there with a stunned look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Jade asked him as he led her to the dance floor.

"I knew you would be here and I wanted to see you. Plus you know I will help raise money for a good cause." He told her as he pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her waist to dance to the slow R&B song that started to play. Marks started to dance against her and Jade looked over to Jax who finally realized what was going and was standing up at their table and stood there watching with a furious look on his face. Good Jade thought he needs to know that she is desirable to other men and his disrespect to her in talking to Tara was a slap in her face. Feeling Marks familiar budge against her she pushed closer to Marks as they danced. Marks was always a good dancer and good in bed but he did not hold a candle to Jax. She saw out the corner of her eye Opie grabbing Jax arm as he was about to walk out on the dance floor.

"I think we are pissing off your man." He whispered in her ear. It looked from where Jax was standing that Marks had nibbled on her ear.

"So." Jade responded.

"Is there trouble in paradise?" Jade did not answer and they continued to dance. Marks put his hand on Jade's butt and she let it stay there for a few moments to piss Jax off even more. She was about to push his hand back up when she saw Jax storm out of the event. She knew she was going to be in some serious shit when she got home. She decided she did not give any fucks at the moment as she felt warm and happy from all her martinis. After the dance, Marks walked her back at the table. Kim took her hand and told her it was time to go. Jade said goodbye to Marks and stumbled a little out the door. In the car, Kim was giving her an ear full as Opie side eyes her. Jade just slouched down in the seat and blocked Kim's ranting at her out.

When they pulled up to the house, Jade notice Jax had not come home yet as her car was not parked in the driveway. Jade was becoming furious as she let herself into the house. He had better not be with Tara. Jade's head was spinning as she cut on the lights and tried to walk in a straight line to their bedroom. She let out her hair and took off her heels. She needed water and an aspirin. She found aspirin in the medicine cabinet and got a bottled water out the fridge. She had drunk the whole bottle within seconds.

Jade jumped when she heard the front door open and slam shut. Oh shit she thought. He is pissed. Jade cursed at herself for getting so drunk and making a fool of herself and of Jax. He did however deserve it. She was pissed off at him for talking to that bitch Tara. That betrayal stung over and over. It was sad that she needed to remind Jax that she was a desirable woman and she can get any man she set her sights on, no matter what race he was. Maybe she did go a little far when she accepted August Marks's request to dance.

"What the fuck was that?!" he yelled. Oh, wow he really was pissed. Jax grabbed Jade's arm and pulled her against him.

"What are you talking about" she asked playing dumb.

"That shit with Marks! You were all over him!" Jade pushed away and stumbled to the couch. She tried to clear the foggy night to remember what exactly happen. All she could remember was Marks hands all over her while they danced to a slow song. She did remember clearly the look on Jax's face when she looked over in his direction.

"You are mine!" he growled. Jax grabbed Jade's arms and shook her.

"Do you hear me?" Jade looked away from his eyes they were full of anger and lust. He grabbed her chin and pulled her face to look at him.

"Don't you ever look or touch another man again." Jade knocked his hand away from her face. "What are you going to do?" she challenged. Jax pushed her up against the wall. He held both her arms against the wall beside her head.

"What you're going to go all crazy on me Jax?" she asked trying to act all hard.

"Jax looked at her his eyes full of anger.

"What…you think this is crazy?" he challenged her.

"Oh you can get crazier?...Oh….I see…..yes you can."

Something shifted in Jax's eyes and before she knew it Jax had turned her around and pushed her over the arm of the couch. He swiftly lifted up her dress and ripped her panties off.

"Jax!" she exclaimed

"Shut up!" he yelled at her as he unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants and boxers down.

Jade tried to lift herself off the couch but Jax pushed her back down. He grabbed her hips and entered her from behind.

Jade tried to catch her breath as she tried to reach back to grab his hands and push him away.

Jax pushed her hand away as he pushed deeper inside her. Jade senses were going haywire he felt so good as he pumped in and out of her with such conviction to get his point across. She was his and no one else's. Jax grabbed a fistful of her hair and lifted her head up.

"Whose pussy is this?" he growled in her ear. Jade was becoming more and more wet and her walls instinctively tighten around him and sucked him in deeper. Taking this as a sign Jax lifted her buttocks up higher as he buried himself deeper in her. Jade let out a loud moan as Jax ravished her from behind.

"Answer me! Whose pussy is this? Who do you belong to?"

Jade was on the brink of coming. She was becoming delirious. Jax fingernails dug into the side of her hips.

"It's your pussy. I'm yours' Jade answered back hoarsely.

"Yes! You are mind! No one else's!" Jax leaned over and bit Jade's shoulder, hard enough to leave a bruise, as he exploded into her. Jade coming right behind him let out a small cry as she shuddered from her intense orgasm.

Jade went limp as Jax pulled out and pulled up his pants. Jax lifted her up from the couch, grabbed her chin in his hand, and kissed her harshly.

"Don't ever do that again Jade." He told her his eyes still reflecting his anger.

"I won't." she told him.
