Hello my readers! Here's a new chapter for you right before Easter break! This one is going to be a more light hearted one before we get back into the chaos that exists around Jax Teller and Charming itself. Two-Three days have passed from the previous chapter. I hope you all enjoy!
Jax entered Evie's bedroom, quietly closing the door behind himself to not disturb the beautiful scene unraveling before him.
Fresh out of an overextended shower, Evie dressed herself in one of Jax's white t-shirts she just took out of the dryer with her damp locks pinned up high with a large dark brown jawclip.
She moved a couple of tendrils that escaped the hair acessory with her hands, shifting her brown eyes onto the dresser.
She picked up a moisturizer of some kind, pumping some of the product into her hands before placing it back in its original spot.
She created a lather between her palms before rubbing the serum into her cleansed face and neck.
Seeing a familiar silhoutte in the corner of her eye, she turned her head, directing her attention away from the mirror toward the bedroom door where Jax stood and his blue eyes drinking in each movement she had just made.
Evie smiled, taking the jawclip out of her hair, casually tossing it onto the dresser.
"How long were you standing there?"
"Not long enough if you ask me," he replied as he moved away from the door, bringing himself behind her.
He coiled his arms around her small waist, kissing the back of her head, breathing in the sensational scent of a Chinese blossom.
The couple looked into the mirror in perfect sync, waiting for one another to break the silence.
Evie smiled, turning around to come face to face with Jax.
She moved her arms around his neck, interlocking her fingers together.
"Did the boys go down okay?"
"I guess so."
"You guess?," she asked with a raise of her eyebrow.
"Babe, I did the usual. Made sure they brushed their teeth. Tucked 'em in. But, I doubt the usual routine is gonna cut it tonight. They couldn't stop talking about all of us living under the same roof starting tomorrow. They want to share a room. Oh, and to have a bunk bed."
Evie giggled, seeing that humorous visual in her head.
"We could set them up in the same room for now until they finally get tired of each other and need some "me" time."
"I don't think that will happen with our boys. They're not normal kids. And, I mean that in a good way, of course."
Jax lowered his head, resting his forehead against Evie's.
"Our boys. I will never get tired of the sound of that," she smiled, only for it to diminish within seconds.
The moment he spotted the sudden sadness that crossed her face, Evie pulled out of their firm embrace.
She pulled back the blankets climbed into bed with Jax taking a seat in front of her.
"Talk to me, darlin'."
"I keep thinking about Ben."
"Oh..," he trailed off, feeling the night taking an unfortunate turn.
Evie took his hands in hers.
"No, no, not like that. It's about the custody situation involving Andre. A huge part of me believes that I will be granted sole custody of my son."
"And you will."
"But, there is a small part of me, a part of me that has been making itself known a little bit more each day, that Ben will get Andre, and it's killing me inside. I don't wanna lose my son."
"Eve, you're not gonna lose him. I can promise you that."
"What are you gonna do? Break his other hand?"
"I could, but I have a feeling that won't phase him. I can help you with getting you set up with lawyers, I'll cover their fees, etc. I got you. Andre is staying where he belongs. With us."
Tears of relief rolled down her face.
She knows she and Jax already had multiple conversations regarding Ben and she thought Jax would eventually falter due to the level of drama it has risen.
He hasn't budged one bit.
The smile that has faded made a reappearance.
Evie wrapped her arms around Jax, pulling him into a hug.
He carefully wrapped his arms around her due to her still healing from the car accident.
"You're an amazing man, Jax Teller."
"I will be for you, Evie Roosevelt. You know why? Because you fuckin' deserve it and then some."
Evie slid her sweat ridden body on top of his, kissing her way down his equally sweaty torso.
She effortlessly slipped him back inside of her, immiediately feeling his cock grow hard once again.
She shifted hips backward, sliding down onto his shaft until he completely filled her.
He hissed as his large hands grabbed each of her hips to control the speed of her motion.
"Ya know, for someone who was just in a car accident, you don't seem too affected by it..physically that is."
She stopped her swift movement altogether and leaned forward, leaving their faces only inches away from each other.
"You're going on a run tomorrow morning. As your old lady, I would assume I should show you one of the many things to look forward to when you return."
He smiled, taking her face in both hands.
Her hands laid onto the pillow beneath his head as her fingers gripped his growing locks.
He rubbed her nose against hers before biting his swollen lower lip.
"I like that assumption."
"I figured you would. Plus, the doctor said to try my best to work the aching muscles as much as possible."
"Oh, I'll work those muscles out for you, darlin'. As for the muscles that aren't sore, they might just be by the time I'm finished with you."
The next day:
Gemma knocked on the door to Jax's home.
Evie left the boys' room, making her way to the front door.
V-Lin beat her to it, looking through the peephole with his gun drawn.
He stepped away from the door as he slid his gun back in its original place.
"It's Gemma."
Evie nodded, giving him the okay to open the door.
"Mornin," Gemma greeted, forcing a smile on her bruised face.
No matter how often she seen it, Evie could not get over what Clay had done to Gemma.
It didn't seem real.
How could that much evil could exist in one human?
"Good morning, Gem," she finally replied.
"Morning Gemma," V-Lin greeted, making an attempt to make eye contact with the matriarch for more than three seconds, but failed miserably.
"Morning. You mind staying with the boys? I'd like to talk to Evie for a bit."
"Yeah, you got it."
V-Lin headed back down the hall to Andre and Abel's bedroom.
"I see Jax didn't leave without someone staying with you and the boys with all the shit that has happened."
"Yeah, it gives him that peace of mind. Plus, he didn't want me to strain myself with moving our stuff in."
Gemma moved her hair out of the way of her neck, eyeing her sizable hickie.
"Yeah, because you're straining yourself in the bedroom."
Evie's face grew warm and she went into the kitchen, picking up a key ring off of the counter.
She handed the set of keys to Gemma who followed her into the kitchen.
"Jax spotted 'em on the counter this morning before he left."
"Thanks sweetheart. On any other given day, I would just let myself in."
"It's no problem. Would you like a cup of coffee? I just put a fresh pot on."
"Sure," she stated, putting her purse onto the kitchen table before taking a seat.
Evie opened the cabinet, pulling out two coffee mugs.
"You seem to already know your way around the kitchen."
"It helps that the layout of our houses are nearly identical."
"How far have you gotten with being moved in?"
"We've just started. I wanted to begin with the boys' room."
Evie lifted the filled coffee pot out of its holder, pouring the hot liquid into the two mugs.
"The boys are sharing a room?"
"Yeah, it was their idea. Jax and I decided to go along with it. There is still two spare bedrooms once they want their own space."
What will you do with the other bedroom? Turn that into an office for yourself?"
Evie brought over the full mugs, setting one of them down in front of Gemma.
With the sugar already placed in the middle of the table, she turned on her heels, heading over to the fridge to grab milk and creamer since she wasn't sure how Gemma liked her java.
"Uh no, I was actually thinking of eventually turning the final bedroom into a nursery," she replied, placing the refridgerated products next to the coffee mugs.
Gemma took Evie's hand, looking up at her with a small smile playing in the corner of her mouth.
"A nursery.. Evie, are you pregnant?"
"No Gem, I'm not. But, I have expressed my want in having more children one day to Jax this morning to see where he stands with it."
"And what did he say?"
"He barely let me finish my sentence. He's all for the family to grow."
"I'm glad because I've been wanting more grandchildren since Abel was born."
