Chapter 379 Good Girls Get Ice Cream

"

Sack escorted Scarlett to her store Friday morning when Jax left for TM. That night, Jax had church. They were going to get pizza and eat it during their meeting—an improvement over real church where eating isn't allowed. While the meeting went on Scarlett, Tara and Steve were going to share pizza in the clubhouse. Sack was going to be allowed to attend part of the meeting.

Tara was already at the clubhouse when Scarlett got there.

"Are you going to be OK here?" Scarlett asked.

"All the cat fights were over Jax, so I should be good," Tara said.

"You got into cat fights over Jax?" Steve asked. He was sitting with them at a table.

"Jax and I were high school sweethearts," Tara said.

"Isn't Jax with Scarlett now?" he asked.

"He is," Scarlett said.

"She's his old lady," Tara added. "It was ten years ago. Ancient history. Scarlett and I are friends now."

"Good. If you two started fighting I'm not sure who I would help. I'm supposed to watch over Tara, but Jax is the vice prez . . ."

"Good thing you aren't going to have to make that decision," Scarlett said.

"You would want to help Scarlett," Sack suggested helpfully. "If something happens to Scarlett, Jax will never let you make prospect."

"Good to know," Steve said.

Jax finished work and went inside the clubhouse while the pizza order was placed.

"I need to talk to you," Jax said to Scarlett.

She followed him outside to the patio.

"I can't be in trouble again," she said. "I haven't done anything."

"Uh-huh," Jax said. "Are you going to try to seduce me tonight?"

"No," Scarlett said. "I would never want to do that." She stroked his beard with her fingertips barely making contact. "I just hate it that you aren't getting any of my scorching kisses tonight. They would singe your beard." She lightly tugged on his chin hair.

"I do like to watch you try to seduce me," Jax said with a grin. "If you and Tara can behave while I'm in church, Steve and I will take you girls for ice cream after."

"I'd rather have your kisses."

Jax nodded.

"Uh-huh. You've got one more night of punishment."

"I thought maybe I could get you to forget that," Scarlett said with her sweetest smile.

Jax leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"No. The best it's going to get for you is going for ice cream after church."

Scarlett wasn't sure if Jax's refusal to give her his bone melting kisses was causing the problem or if there was something else wrong, but she found him irresistible. She'd never had that problem with a man before him.

"I guess that's better than nothing," she said. "Maybe ice cream will put you in such a good mood, you'll forget the rest of my SpongeBob punishment."

"Maybe," Jax said looking her up and down.

Scarlett wasn't fooled. He just wanted her to try to seduce him. Maybe she might even succeed. Just as long as it didn't go too far.
