CHAPTER SEVENTY

Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile.

Landing back in New York just before 6pm we all trudge off the plane and back into the waiting cars. We're half way back to the house when my phone rings. Pulling it from my pocket I see it's an unfamiliar number, but the Charming area code makes me answer it with a hesitant "Hello."

"Hi Sarah, its Melissa. I needed to talk to you about a couple of things. Do you have a minute?"

I glance over at Jax and grab his hand, squeezing it lightly "Sure Melissa. What did you need?"

Jax rubs his thumb over my knuckles as he steers through the streets, keeping behind the Audi which Cam is driving with Al, Happy and Juice in it. The other Suburban is behind us, carrying Opie, Donna and their kids.

"I wanted to make sure the trial went okay and that Abel handled the flight okay." She says sounding almost timid.

"The trial went as I expected. The person was found guilty and jailed for over 40 years. Abel didn't like the take-off very much but slept through most of the flight." I lift shrug in confusion at Jax.

"That's good. But what I really wanted to tell you is that the paperwork will be completed today granting your petition to adopt. Congratulations." Melissa sounds like she's speaking through a giant smile.

"Wow that was quicker than I thought. Thank you, really. Thank you."

"That's okay, all the paperwork will be sent to your house within the next 10 working days but it's effective as of today."

My brain is trying to catch up when I close the phone and drop it into the open bag between my feet.

"What?" Jax says, squeezing my hand. "What'd she want?"

"She's sending out all the paperwork." I say in a daze "The adoption has been granted, as of today."

Jax takes a quick glance in the rear vision mirror and then pulls to the side of the road, the car coming to a sudden stop. He's out of the door and around at mine before either of the other cars has come fully to a stop.

I start laughing when he tries to pull me out of the car, but my belt is still buckled over my chest. Jabbing at the button he growls when he can't get it undone and lifts an eyebrow at me when I keep laughing and undo it slowly.

The second it's past my arm he's pulled me out of the car and is hugging me tightly, dropping kisses over my face with a huge smile on his face.

Donna sticks her head out of her window and calls "Wanna tell us why you're molesting Sarah in the middle of the street?"

Jax grins and looks over my shoulder "Can't I be happy for the mother of my son?"

It takes a split second for the meaning behind his words to sink into Donna's brains but suddenly it's gone from me being hugged by Jax on the side of the road to Donna, Al, Cam and I in a group hug.

Happy comes up behind us and chuckles "As much as this is interesting, you girls are kinda gathering an audience."

Just as he finishes his sentence there's the screech of brakes and a crashing sound to the side of us. All of our heads spin in that direction to witness the aftermath of a nose-to-tail. "Told ya." Happy says, dragging Cam back towards the Audi and pushing her into the passengers' seat.

"Can't take you anywhere babe." Jax says shaking his head.

"Hey! It wasn't my fault if perve 1 and perve 2 couldn't keep their EYES ON THE ROAD." I yell the end of the sentence towards the two men who are still staring in our direction

Jax nods, wrapping his arm around my waist and nudging me back to the car "I know babe. It's not your fault you're as hot as fuck and were bouncing on the side of the road with three other women all wearing the same level of not much."

The four of us had all left the house that morning in shorts and singlet's, the weather in New York had been warm but Milwaukee had been stifling. Even with the heat the guys had still been in their typical clothes of jeans, t-shirts and Kuttes.

Settling back into the cool interior of the car with a frown I wait till he's in his seat "Sorry baby."

Jax shakes his head, picking my hand up off my lap "Not your fault that some guys are pigs."

I snort and lift my eyebrows at him "I know you; 6 months ago you would have stopped your bike to watch."

Jax shakes his head "Nah babe I wouldn't have." Pausing while he pulls back into the flow of traffic he chuckles "I would have stopped my bike and picked which one of the hot chicks I wanted and then taken her to TM with me."

Shaking my head I watch him as he drives through the traffic for a few miles before he looks at me "What?"

I smirk at him "You wouldn't have taken one my reformed man-whore. You would have ordered them all to go to TM with one of your panty-dropping smirks and they would have obeyed, wet and yearning for you before they even got back in their car."

Jax's jaw drops and he shakes his head "You do it every time."

"What do I do baby?" I ask with an innocent smile, watching the front of his jeans jerk as I lick my lips slowly.

"Turn me inside out." Glancing into the back of the seat he checks Abel's still asleep before opening his mouth again, his voice rough with need "You call me on my bullshit in such a way that makes me glad you do it, you turn me on with a sentence. Fuck, you turn me on with a look and it takes all my willpower not to fuck you wherever you're standing and remind you and anyone in earshot that you belong to me."

"I belong to you huh?" I ask with a twitch of my mouth.

"Babe you've belonged to me since you were 12. No point in fighting it now. You're mind, soul, thoughts, desires. They're all mine. Your future kids are mine. Every groan of pleasure, every moan of bliss and every gasp of orgasm, those are mine too. The ass I struggle to keep my hands off when you're in front of me, your tits that are made for me to rest my head on, your pussy that has a direct link to my cock. It's all mine."

Even though his words aren't sweet and gentle something about the point-blank way he claims every part of me sends a lick of hot desire through my body and he groans. "See, I can see in your eyes how much you want me right now." I nod and he reaches over to pull my lip from between my teeth where I wasn't even aware of it landing. "But babe we're not in Charming and I don't think NYPD would appreciate me fucking you on the side of the road while our son sleeps in the back seat."

I nod, sadly, at his statement knowing he's right. A startled squeak comes out of my mouth when he runs his hand up the inside of my thigh "That doesn't mean that I can't get you off."

I shake my head, even as his fingers creep past the bottom hem of my loose shorts "You can't baby." I gasp out. "Abel."

"Is sleeping soundly, I don't think a bomb would wake that kid."

"Not our car." I try again as his fingers press my underwear to the side, meeting flesh that's already slick with desire.

"So I'll apologise and pay for it to be groomed." He pushes a single finger into the seeping wetness and groans low in his throat "You want it as much as I do."

"Fuck." I groan out through clenched teeth. "Jax, baby, you know I want it. But I can't."

I clamp my legs closed hoping it'll stop him but all it does is lock his hand between my thighs, his fingers still moving slowly.

Jax chuckles "Okay babe. I get it." He pulls his hand out slowly and shoots me a wicked smirk before putting his glistening fingers into his mouth.
