Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 298 Point Kiss
"
After Tara finished bandaging Jax's wounds, she promised to check in on him later that day. Sack gave her an escort home to make sure she didn't have any problems with her crazy stalker ex.
There was a brief discussion about whether or not Jax needed to stay at the clubhouse in lockdown with the MC, but Jax insisted he would be perfectly safe in Scarlett's motel room and it would be easier for her to care for him there. Sack also followed along to make sure Jax and Scarlett got back safely to her motel room.
Jax had changed into a pair of lightweight sweats he kept at the clubhouse. Tomorrow he would run by his house, change his clothes and pack a bag to take with him when they left for Scarlett's lake house after the Sons meeting.
Scarlett carefully shook out a variety of pills into one of her empty pill bottles and gave him a bottle of water.
"You need to take these," Scarlett said handing them to him.
"All of these?"
"Tara's instructions and you're a big guy. You need more."
"I'm not going to complain," Jax said. He knew Tara had risked her career to save him. Following her instructions and doing as Scarlett told him was the least he could do. It was all part of paying the price of getting shot and living.
"She just wants to make sure you don't get an infection."
Jax brushed his teeth with the spare toothbrush Scarlett kept for him in the bathroom and got into bed. By the time Scarlett showered, brushed teeth and got into bed, he was beginning to feel drowsy.
"You were amazing tonight," Jax said.
Scarlett has lying on her back with two pillows under her head. Jax was leaning over looking into her eyes.
"I think I may have made some enemies like Chibs."
"Tara said if he'd cut another inch, it would have killed me."
"I was so scared that he was going to kill you."
Scarlett stroked Jax's cheek with her fingertips.
"When he was cutting and it hurt, I'd look at you sitting in the chair and it was easier. Helped me yell less," he said with a grin.
"It killed me. I can't stand to see you getting hurt."
"I saw you brush the tears out of your eyes."
Jax gave her a soft tender whisper of a kiss on the lips.
"I love you, Scarlett."
"You're still not getting out of the fight," Scarlett said.
"Why would I want to do that? I'm looking forward to the making up after."
"The fight isn't going to go well for you," Scarlett warned.
"That's fine with me. I took two or three shots in the vest and three or four times in the butt and leg. I don't think the fight could be any worse than that unless you're planning on using the jagged end of a bottle on me."
Scarlett laughed.
"I don't think I'll ever live that down."
"That's a good thing. You were fighting for me and you were damned amazing doing it. I'm proud of you."
"They were talking about getting a medical assistant with two weeks training or someone who worked in a vet's office."
"The person who used to help us with off the books medical treatment is in prison for pretending to be a doctor."
"Really?"
Jax nodded and they laughed.
Jax pointed at his lips.
"What?" Scarlett asked.
"It means kiss."
Scarlett kissed him on the lips.
"You know this pointing and expecting me to kiss you is only going to last for so long."
"How long?"
"Until your stitches come out and then no more special treatment."
"For all your tough talk, you told me you loved me first. When did you finally figure that out?"
"I've been fighting hard to resist you, but when I saw how injured you were and I thought I could lose you, everything became clear."
"Tonight didn't scare you off?"
"It was pretty terrifying, but my life has its dangers."
"It might get a little worse," Jax said. His eyes closed and then he opened them. "I'm just so tired."
"Get some sleep. You need to heal."
As he drifted off to sleep, Jax was optimistic about his future with Scarlett. He wasn't sure how he was going to bring up the subject of her being his old lady, but when they were alone at her lake house, he would figure something out.
