Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 250 How Many?
"
Jax had called Scarlett Tuesday evening to ask if she wanted to go for a walk. She hadn't answered, so he'd left a message on her voice mail. He'd been planning a walk that would lead to staying overnight because she had an early morning physio appointment. She'd sent him a text message late Tuesday night saying she was too tired to go for a walk.
It annoyed the hell out of him that she'd texted instead of calling him. She also hadn't said what she'd been doing that left her too tired for a short walk. She had probably spent a long day working on setting up her décor business. Or maybe she'd been with Hale.
Hale was not a threat to him. Scarlett couldn't prefer Hale to him. He was Jax Teller. No woman in her right mind would pick Hale over him. He was cool, tough and a sexy as hell, outlaw biker. Scarlett was really into him. Definitely.
Jax had been patient for him. He had respected Scarlett's boundaries, but he needed to find out just what it would take for her to sleep with a guy . . . well, not just a guy, him. He didn't want Scarlett's four years of celibacy to come to an end when she was with a guy that wasn't him.
He was going to find out what he needed to do to sleep with her. What kind of hoops did she want him to jump through and was he going to be willing to jump through them. Of course, he probably should have thought about asking her this a week or two ago, but he thought his powers of seduction would have worked their magic on her by now. He'd made out with her in a bed and there was still no sex! Any other woman would have been in flames for him.
He hadn't even touched her breasts because he was a little afraid if he went too far, she would ice him out. He'd been waiting for a signal from her. That hadn't worked out so well. Maybe she had asbestos panties. He grinned at the thought.
This preoccupation with Scarlett was killing his sex life. He'd only been with a couple of crow-eaters shortly after he met her. He hadn't felt right about it after that. They were getting closer and he didn't want to screw that up, but he had needs. He'd lost track of how long he'd been without sex. If you lose track, you've gone too long. It was that simple.
He needed to know there was a chance that they would get together. When she said she would never have sex with him, he didn't believe her. What he heard was that she wanted a little time and attention. She wanted him to treat her with respect. He'd done that. What else did she expect?
As a worst case situation, he could just go back to sleeping with crow-eaters and seeing Scarlett and working on seducing her. He was willing to give her another week or maybe even two before he would go back to banging crow-eaters. He'd never done that for a girl before except Tara.
With Tara, he'd seduced her over a couple of months. He never regretted not sleeping with other girls while he waited for Tara to be ready for him. Maybe he needed to be a little more patient with Scarlett. She did have that back injury that would make sex challenging. He just wanted to make sure he was her first after four years.
Be smart Jax, he told himself. Tonight, he'd look up sexual positions for girls with injured backs. There must be something on the internet that would help him.
He waited until Scarlett was out of her Annie disguise and they were on their way back before he brought up the subject.
"My therapist had a cancellation on Friday at 11. Do you think that you could take me? The next week I only have one appointment because she was booked up."
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll let Clay know."
"Great. I think I'm noticing a bit of an improvement. It doesn't hurt as much when I walk."
"How many guys have you been with?" Jax asked.
So much for his plan to bring up the subject up smoothly, Jax thought. There probably wasn't a smooth way to bring that up anyway.
"What do you mean by being with?"
"Had sex with," Jax clarified.
"More than one and less than five. What about you?"
"More than one and less than a thousand."
Scarlett took this information in silently. Jax had the impression that his answer hadn't gone over that well.
"How do you decide when you're going to sleep with a guy?"
"Sleep or have sex with?" Scarlett asked.
"You know," Jax said. He watched as the traffic on the freeway ground to a halt all around them. "We're not going anywhere."
