one day we'll be fine

"Hi." I grinned wide when I saw Colbie entering from the door of her brother's bar.
"Hey." She smiled as I stood up from the booth and reached out to kiss her chastely.
"You look gorgeous." I said, my eyes taking in her little black dress.
"Thanks." She replied, enjoying the view herself. "So do you." She said honestly. I just winked at her and nodded over to the waitress to signal my beautiful date was here. "Hey Mikele." She smiled at the girl and she grinned.

"Hi Colbs, you want the usual?"
She nodded and she walked back to the bar.
"You know her?" I asked with a brow raised.
She smirked. "I come here a lot." She admitted.
"I love it here." I pointed out honestly. There was always a nice atmosphere, it was relaxed, as if you were at someone's house.
She smiled at me, her eyes on me as she propped her elbow on the table and leaned her chin on her hand, "Do you come here a lot?" She asked out of curiosity.
"Kind of." I shrugged, looking around before focusing on the beautiful girl in front of me, "Mostly with Travis, he brought me here the first time."
She nodded, parting her lips and getting interrupted before she could say a word when a beer got placed under her pretty nose. "No food tonight?" A tall man told her, one I recognized as the owner of the place. And I knew he was one of her brothers too, thanks to Lila.
"Hi to you too." She grinned up at him, looking a lot like Lila in that moment.
His eyes moved to me and I could tell he was studying me, deciding if I could have a chance to share the table with his sister. I couldn't blame him though. Thank god I didn't have a sister. "I see you have company." He said slowly, almost looking intimidating, but there was no man on earth who could do that. Maybe my dad, but that was all.
I extended my hand towards him and offered a smile, not afraid to act like a grown up and a decent man. "I'm Jackson Cole, Colbie's date from tonight." I said quietly.
He shook my hand but I could see he was still thinking hard. "I'm her brother." Was his answer.
"I know that, I've come here before, with Lila too." I explained, hoping to score points since I wanted this night to go well.
"He's her friend." Colbie interjected, looking a little nervous.
"Uh." He said unintelligently before giving his attention all to the blonde beauty, "I'll get you a steak."
"That's good for me too, thank you." I said before he had the chance to leave and ignore me. I liked to think I was a polite man, knowing how to play his cards right, but I also had the balls to stand against my date's brother. Mostly when I was so oddly excited to be finally with Colbie.
"Alright." He nodded then left us alone, with our beers.
She stared at me, a mix of amusement and something else on her face. "What?" I grinned at her, leaning into her from across the table.
"My last date didn't go over as well with Kolton." Colbie laughed.
I rose my brow. "Your last date?"
"I went to a lunch thing with a guy from work." She admitted, her expression giving her away.
"Huh." I scooted a little closer to her. "So that was going over well huh?"
She laughed. "At least you shook his hand. My brothers try hard to be intimidating but they're all softies."
I laughed too, "I get that. I wouldn't want my sister to date either."
She rolled her eyes. "They just don't want me to date men like them. All of my brothers are infamous bachelors."
I smirked. "Yeah that's not me at all." I winked, being silly.
She took a sip of the beer the girl had brought over and hummed happily. "Sure it's not." She smirked. "How many girls are you dating right now anyways?"
"Um. Just you." I said, wondering if she thought I was that bad. I mean, I was bad, but one girl at once.
"For now anyways." She teased, taking another sip of her drink and studying my face.
"Is that what you think?" I asked with a brow raised.
"I dunno, I don't know how you really are with girls besides me."
I furrowed my brows, surprised we were already to the point of talking about our past relationships. Kind of. "Does it matter?" I asked instead, because what was the point? Also I didn't want to look too bad.
She shrugged, tucking her hair behind her ear, "I'm just curious. I wondered how that girl felt at the club the other night." She said slowly.
"Look I'm not going to say I was too nice with her...but she knew there was nothing between us. I had ended things already, I could tell she wasn't girlfriend material." I explained quietly before taking a sip of beer and waiting for her reaction to my words.
"And you're boyfriend material instead?" She asked and looked vaguely amused as she mimicked me, sipping her own beer.
I leaned back in my seat, smirking at her, "Do you think I can't be?"
"Don't deflect Jax." She grinned back at me.
"I can be." I answered simply, "I want to be, once the right girl comes."
"The right girl, uh?" She nodded, pausing and smiling at the waitress when she served us our food, "So are you looking for her?"
I shook my head, cutting my steak, "Not exactly, but I'm not against having a relationship either." I said before taking a bite.
"I don't know why but you're not convincing me much." She kept grinning as she ate, as if she wasn't taking me seriously.
I shrugged, grinning wider, "I don't need to." I said simply. She chew on her meat and swallowed, keeping her pretty eyes on me. But didn't say anything else. "I'm not seeing any other girl, you know...beside you."
"Oh man this is super awkward for me since I'm sleeping with like four other guys." Colbie said, trying to keep a straight face but failing miserably.
"So funny." I said with a smirk, though I didn't like the idea even if she was just teasing me.
"How was your week?" She asked, settling back into the bench, brushing her foot against my leg in the process.
"Better now." I said honestly, noticing how that little touch between us was enough to be electric.
"Mine too." She admitted. "But I sold two houses this week so it wasn't bad either."
"I'm sure you're the best realtor in the state, who could say no to you?"
"I can be pretty persuasive." She admitted, looking proud of her business and she had any right to be.
"I believe you." I looked into her eyes and her expression changed, the look into her eyes got heated all of a sudden, without a warning and kicking me off balance. "Colbie." I said in a low voice.
"Mmhm?"
"Stop looking at me like that."
She blinked. "How am I looking at you?"
I took a long sip of cold beer as if that cool me down. Impossible. She set me on fire. "Like you want me to drag you into the bathroom." I said casually, keeping my tone quiet since I didn't want anyone to hear us. But now, I had that thought planted in my head.
She bit down on her lip, shooting me a super sexy look, "Actually, in my head it was me doing the dragging." She confessed.
I suppressed a groan, bringing the napkin to my mouth as I swallowed the last bite of my steak, a new kind of anger burning in my stomach. "Are you trying to kill me?" I asked.
She shrugged, giving me an innocent look, "No please. That'd be a bad way to end our date." She pouted a little before breaking into a grin and staring eating again.
"See why I brought you here?" I asked, pausing to stuff my mouth with a couple of fries, "No matter how much I'm tempted, I have to behave."
She licked the extra mayo off the corner of her mouth, staring at me, "What if I don't want you to behave?"
"You should've told me sooner." I grinned at her, brushing my thumb where her tongue had just been, then dropped my hand on top of hers, "I'm trying to be a gentleman Colbie. I like you." I added honestly.
"I like you too Jax isn't that the point?" Colbie asked.
"Yes." I grinned and looked at her face change once again. "There's that look again..." I trailed off, my eyes going dark. "Damn it what are you thinking?"
"You kind of make me feel like I'm in high school again." She admitted, her face flushing. "Except for the gentleman thing, no guy has ever been a gentleman to me."
"You deserve it." I said softly, shifting so more of my leg was touching hers.
"Maybe." She agreed. "Are you so chivalrous to all your dates? Is that why it's so hard for them to break away?"
"No." I said simply and she licked her lips, while I saw on her face all the questions popping in her mouth.
"Mmm, I must be lucky." She laughed and leaned back again. "I'm full. What's next?"
"Full? Already? After that giant steak?" I laughed, realizing how fast time was passing and that said a lot. With other girls? Time never passed.
She laughed with me but blushed a little too, "I was hungry." She explained.
"So no dessert?" I asked and she shook her head, smiling. God she was beautiful. "Maybe next time."
She bit down on her lip again, as if trying to hide her smile. "Planning our next date already? I don't even know what we're going to do now!" She pointed out, sounding almost impatient.
I smiled at her, bringing her hand to my mouth to place a kiss on her knuckles while I kept my eyes on her. "What do you want to do?" I asked softly.
"What do you usually do?" She asked back, not giving me an answer.
"I usually don't take girls to dinner, if they're lucky they get a drink." I made a face, not too proud of that but hey, that was still better than take them straight to my bed. I tried, but the interest which was already little to start with, always faded fast. With Colbie it was the opposite, maybe because I hadn't thought something could really happen. Maybe because she had turned me down so many times, maybe because she had a son.
She nodded her head, looking as if she was processing my words, "So...drinks now?" She asked slowly.
"What about we get out of here for starter?" I offered, getting up and setting enough money on our table to pay our dinner and give a good tip to the waitress. Then I waited for her to get up, offering her my hand.
"Are we going to the bathroom?" Colbie smirked, tempting me.
I groaned. "No." She pouted and I pulled her outside at the speed of light, "Did you drive here?" I asked while my brain worked. She nodded. "So we'll take my truck." I led her to my car and she sat patiently in the passenger side waiting for me to slide into my seat.
"Where are we going?"
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair because I couldn't come up with even one decent idea. "I don't know."
"We could go to your place." She offered, surprising me. I knew the attraction between us was strong and impossible to ignore, but still.
"No I can't..." I shook my head.
"Oh is it really messy?" She smirked. "Are you embarassed?"
I smirked back at her because that wasn't the reason. "No...well it's not pristine or anything but fuck Colbie I've taken too many girls there, I don't want to treat you the same way."
She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "How many girls have you been with?" She asked. This time it was my turn to be surprised.
"I..I don't really know." I said honestly, because I didn't keep count. Too many to count. Her eyes widened but she kept quiet. "What about you?"
"How many girls have I been with?" She asked, grinning as O laughed.
"You know what I meant silly girl."
She nodded and then licked her lips. "Technically? One." She admitted.
My eyes went even wider, my hands running through my hair again, "....what do you mean technically?"
"I mean if we're only counting the act that makes babies." She replied, super serious.
I turned my head towards her, staring at her. There were plenty of girls who weren't that experienced...but one only? That was rare. "Stop staring at me like that." She added, blushing a little too.
"Why? Can'I just stare at your beauty?" I grinned as an idea popped in my head and I stared at the car.
"You were staring at me because of what I told you." She retorted.
"I'm surprised, I'm not going to lie." I shook my head, doing my best to keep my eyes on the road but damn, it was hard. I wanted to stare at her instead. "You're so beautiful, so hot...and a man only got to be inside of you? That's too bad."
She shrugged, "I was really busy being a mom during the last decade." She paused, "And not only I was busy, but not many men want to sleep with a woman with a kid."
I nodded my head, I knew she was right, and the more I got to know her the more I realized how much it had been hard for her. "Will's not a kid anymore." I pointed out, thinking about him for a moment. He was basically my nephew's boyfriend and the two of them reminded me a lot of me and my brothers when we were 14 too, even if Colbie had been blessed because her son wasn't even half crazy as Robert. Rob was just like Travis.
"Time flies." She said in a sigh.
I dropped my hand on her thigh, glancing at her for a brief moment, "You're the hottest mom I've ever seen." I told her honestly, thinking that I wouldn't have made an exception for anyone else.
"Now I'm only thinking you're complimenting me to get into my pants." She pointed out with a silly laugh.
"You're wearing no pants." I said back, making her laugh louder as I parked.
She looked out, then at me, "Where are we?"
"Don't you trust me?" I grinned at her before getting out of the car, walking to the other side to open the door for her and help her out.
She took in our surroundings, which were nothing but trees for now, "Are you kidnapping me?"
"Don't tempt me." I said seriously as I took her hand, leading her into the woods to a place I knew really well. My grandparent's cabin came into our view, just like the lake at its feet did too, the water shining under the light of the moon and stars. I had never taken anyone there.
"Oh my god I feel like I just walked into a postcard." Colabie admitted, grinning at the beautiful scene in front of her. "Is this yours?"
I shook my head as I explained. "No it's my grandparents. I've always wanted to build one modeled after it though."
She widened her eyes. "You should." She said seriously.
"Come on." I squeezed her hand, not wanting her to get too distracted, and brought us inside. She snuggled up on the couch as I built a fire and she smirked. "What?"
She shrugged. "I feel like you're trying to woo me." She admitted, struggling not to laugh.
"Hey I'm trying here!!" I said with an amused look. I didn't want to woo her, I didn't want to treat her like a slut either.
"Why? I think you'll find I'm just as easy as your other girls."
I groaned, this other girls thing starting to annoy me. "Stop talking about other girls." I grimaced.
She shrugged. "I just don't want you to be different with me." She confessed. "That wouldn't be real."
I walked over and sat next to her. "You are different." I said seriously, reaching out to push her hair back and sending a shiver through my entire body. Why the only girl I was willing to treat differently kept rejecting me in a way? I guessed that was karma.
"Because I'm Lila's sister?" She asked.
I groaned again. "No Colbie because you're you!!" I pointed out and she widened her eyes before she grabbed my shirt, pulling me into her to press her lips against me.
"You're throwing all my good intentions all out of the window." I muttered against her lips, grabbing her by her hips.
She grinned against my mouth and gave me a heated look, "Good, that was the point."
I groaned, this time refusing to repat myself. After all I wanted to have fun and I wanted to be inside of her too. Maybe she was right and I had to cut it off. Sealing our lips together in a kiss, I forced her on my lap, one of my hand reaching for the zipper of her dress and pulling it down as the other one pushed her dress up her thighs and past her a.ss. "I give up, enough being a gentleman." I groaned.
"Finally." She breathed out, looking impatient as she unbuttoned my shirt quickly. Her eyes dropped on my chest as she ran her hands down, "God."
I smirked to myself, liking her reaction, as I pushed the straps of her dress past her shoulders, exposing her chest and returning the favor. "Goddess." She broked into a small laugh before she launched herself on me again, kissing me hard and pressing her hips against mine. She was on fire...I was surprised. My fingers found the lace of her bra, which I unhooked fast, too eager to touch her all over and I did, cupping her soft breast and squeezing them. "You're so damn hot." I said breaking the kiss and trailing my mouth down her neck, the friction between her panties and my jeans killing me already.
"I want you so bad." Colbie admitted, leaning her head back to give me more access to her skin.
"You have me." I groaned and pulled back as I grabbed her dress and pulled it over her head before roaming my eyes over her mostly naked body. In one word, it was perfect. "Fuck Colbie I'm going to spoil you so much."
She grinned. "Yeah?"
I nodded, looking at her like she was actually a goddess, my hands cupping her breasts and she whimpered as she pressed her body into my touch. "You're incredible." I muttered before my hands moved up her thighs and I stopped at her panty line, blinking as I looked at the line of flowers tattooed into hery skin. I wasn't expecting that. "Fu.ck." I widened my eyes and pushed her panties down to see the full picture. "You have a tattoo...."
"Yes." She nodded but didn't add anything else, letting me study the cherry blossoms covering the remains of a scar that I supposed was from the c-section for Will.
"It's sexy as hell.....I was not expecting..." I shook my head and then I flipped her onto her back on the couch, tugging her panties down her legs as I looked at her. My hands trailed over her tattoo, my finger tips feeling the raised skin on her scar. "Colbie." Was all I could say with my eyes wide, the view in front of me the sexiest ever. I pulled the rest of my shirt off, wanting both to make things faster and slower at the same time. I usually went for fast, I got what I wanted and left, but this time what I wanted was more than just a couple hours.
"Touch me." She asked, her voice breathy, needy, and sexy.
"Everywhere." I agreed and then my lips were on her breasts, my lips sucking on her nipple, as my teeth grazed it as she squirmed beneath me. "You're so fucking responsive."
"I-" She cut herself off, not saying anything.
"Do you like it when I tell you what I want to do to you Colbie?" I asked as I thought about all our texts, her eyes on my hand that was teasing her nipple almost mindlessly.
"Yes." She nodded. "That feels so good." She admitted.
"I've barely started." I said with a grin on my lips as my face traveled up again until it was leveling hers and I could look into her eyes. My hand slid down the curve of her side, caressing her skin before changing direction and heading to her inner thigh. "I want to feel how wet you are for me."
She swallowed, her body answering to me before her mouth could as she leaned into my touch. "Do it." She breathed out.
I kept my eyes on hers, wanting to watch her reaction to me. "You're so wet." I said lowly when my hand found her p.ussy, my fingers grazing her gently at first, then massaging her with more pressure.
"God yes!" She moaned, her own hands tangling in my hair and tugging at it as her eyes closed, "You make me feel so desired."
"Eyes on me baby." I said gently, plunging two fingers inside of her and watching her as she opened her eyes wide, another moan escaping her. "Yes, like this." I started pumping my fingers inside of her, my jeans growing uncomfortably tight but f.uck I could wait a few more minutes. "You don't know how many times I thought about doing this when you teased me with your texts."
"I dreamt of you." She confessed in a breathy voice, looking more focused on what I was doing to her thought.
"I'm going to make all those dreams come true." I groaned, watching her face twist in pleasure when I slide my fingers out of her and used her own wetness to play with her c.lit.
"Please don't stop." She looked up at me with big eyes when I lifted myself up, putting a distance between us and I smirked as her leg hooked around mine to prevent me from going anywhere.
"I have no intention to stop." I grinned at her, at how sexy she was, as I pushed my jeans and boxers down, so f.ucking hard and ready to f.uck her that every second that separated me from that was killing me. Lowering myself on top of her again, I positioned my d.ick between her legs at her entrance and felt her body tense. Her words came back to my mind and I wondered if she was nervous. I captured her lips with mine, gently, boring my eyes into hers as I pushed inside of her in one swift motion that got her stretch around me. Fuck. She was just...wow.
Colbie gasped and then whimpered. Her hips moved on their own, struggling for more as I groaned against her for how fucking tight she was.
"Colbie." My rough voice creaked and I swore before pushing myself the rest of the way.
"Oh my god." She squeezed her eyes shut.
I pressed my lips against her neck, aware of how big I had to feel for her because I could feel her body fighting mine and struggling to adjust no matter how wet she was. "Am I hurting you?"
She shook her head as her hands gripped my back. "More." She begged, surprising me.
I bent down and took her breast into my mouth as my hips moved back, then pressed back in as my teeth scraped across her nipple. She moved her hands down my back, grabbing my ass to pull me in deeper everytime I thrust forward, experimenting with my body and fuck I was loving it. "You're killing me..." I pulled back to look into her eyes.
"You're so gorgeous." She said as she let her hands move over my arms, down my torso.
"If you keep grabbing at me like that I'll come too soon." I growled.
She blinked back and grinned. "Really?"
"That's not a good thing baby..." I groaned. "I need to stay inside you for fucking hours." I pulled back untill I was kneeling in front of her, taking her thighs and wrapping them hard against my waist. I grabbed her hips and used them to push myself into her over and over, my eyes glancing at hers before following her body down to where ours met. She moved her eyes to mine and groaned, going even wetter as she literally watched me fuck her. I could tell how much she was loving that.
"I want it for hours." She choked out, the pleasure making her mouth loose. "I want it in every way we've ever thought about, over and over."
I groaned once again, both her words and the view killing me. She was so effortlessly sexy, and what made her even sexier was that she didn't realize it. "It's going to take days to do all the things I want to do to you." I said lowly, pumping inside of her like no tomorrow.
"Oh my god Jax do it all, you can do anything to me." She cried out as she tightened around me further. Mother of god.
"I will." I reached for her hand and guided it between her legs, our fingers tangled together. "Touch yourself baby, make yourself cum for me."
She widened her eyes but then did as told, her head tossing back as she played with her c.lit and her legs shook, "I never experienced anything-anyone like you." She managed to breath out before starting to spasm around me.
I grabbed her ankles and set them on my shoulders, gripping them tight as her legs rested on my chest. "Come on baby, I know you're close." I muttered, eager to see her come apart for me, because of me. With other girls all I looked for was my own pleasure, but with Colbie I valued her pleasure as much s mine. Something in me clicked, surprising me, making me feel high. I was already thinking about the next time when I'd be inside of her and that said a lot.
"Jackson!" She screamed, going liquid around me as she came hard and her body tensed, her mouth forming a small o and for a moment I lost her, too into herself to connect with reality.
When she opened her eyes again and looked at me...damn. I stopped breathing for a moment. But I recovered quick, bending over her and kissing her, my d.ick still moving inside of her before I grabbed her body and switched our positions. "F.uck Colbie." I said slowly, grasping her hips and urging her to move.
"I don't know if I can..." She trailed off, her cheeks a dark shade of red that made her look like a dream. "If I can again." She added.
It took me a moment to realize what she was saying, then I did and lifted her a little, enough for me to have room to lift my own hips and pump in and out of her again and again. "Yes you can." I said seriously, my voice coming out low and raspy because I was dying for how she felt.
Colbie let out what sounded like a pleading desperate moan as she looked into my eyes. "You're so hot."
"I won't cum until you do." I told her, drinking in the way she was staring at me.
She grinned and bit her lip as she set her hands against my chest and started riding me in earnest, it felt amazing. "I already did." She reminded me, a proud grin on her face.
I shook my head and ran my hands up her body before cupping her face and pulling her mouth to mine for a steamy kiss, my tongue fucking her the same way my dick was. "Again." I growled against her lips, wanting to give her more pleasure and watching her come apart for me again.
"I-" She started and I had the feeling she was about to argue, but I cut her off with actions, moving my thumb to her clit at the same time I pressed upwards into her, further, deeper until she came again, hard and unexpected. It was killing me, she was killing me, and all I could do was curse under my breath as I watched her.
I stiffened inside of her, knowing I was close myself. "Colbie." I groaned, grabbing her hips so tight I knew she'd have marks there.
"Please Jax." She begged me for my orgasm and I sped up fast inside of her before breaking, groaning her name as I almost lost contact with reality completely, all I could feel was her and how damn good she felt and made me feel.
"Holy shit" I cursed and scooped her up in my arms, holding her tight as we both caught our breaths. Damn. I wanted to do that again.
"Wow." She grinned, sounding super excited. "That was incredible!"
"Yes it was." I agreed, still nuzzling her neck.
"Thanks." She grinned and kissed me quickly before wriggling out of my lap, both of us moaning slightly as I pulled out of her body.
"What are you doing?" I asked with a cocked brow as she grabbed her clothes and quickly put them back on. It looked as if she was running. That, was something I wasn't expecting at all.
"I have to go home, Lila is babysitting." She said seriously as she pulled her hair back with the band on her wrist.
"What?" I glared at her, upset because I wanted her back in my hold, I wanted to spend the night with her, I wanted to cuddle her too.
She blinked back at me. "I have to get back to my son Jax."
"Your son is 13 and he's with Lila, I don't think you have anything to worry about." I pointed out slowly, still trying to wrap my head around what was happening. It was weird.
She shook her head stubbornly, and even if I didn't know her that much after all, I got the feeling that she wouldn't change her mind. "I have to go." She repeated as she finished getting dressed.
"I doubt that ten minutes more would've made a difference instead of jumping off of me as soon as we're done." I retorted quietly as I got dressed myself while I tried to understand why this was happening. "But what do I know about having a son?" I added and forced a smile before setting my hand on the small of her back and leading her outside as I did my best to act normal.
As we climbed in my car silence filled the air and I'd lie if I said it was a comfortable one. I kept my eyes on the road as I drove and I could feel the lack of her eyes on me. "Do you get along with Robert?" She asked eventually, the question an odd one.
I nodded, "I do. He kills me because he's so hard to handle and he's nothing like his dad, while he's a lot like Travis instead." I explained, a smirk on my lips at the mention of my family.
"Do you spend a lot of time with him?" She went on, leaving me wonder what was the point of this conversation and if there was one at all.
I shrugged, "Sometimes." I answered and ran my hand through my hair, "He's fun to be with." I added as I parked next to her car, killing the engine before turning to her.
"Got it." She smiled but it looked a little forced and she seemed in a hurry to get out of my car. Did I do or say something wrong? Maybe it was just that she wasn't used to leave Will alone at night? I honestly had no idea. "Thank you for tonight."
I gave her a more genuine smile because, confusing after sex part aside, it had been a really nice night. I hadn't had one in a very long time. "No need to thank me." I said quietly and set my hand on top of hers, them resting on her thigh, "When can I see you again?"
Her eyes dropped down on our hands before she looked up at me, "I don't know...you how how it is with Will during the week. I can't ask Lila to stay with him every night."
I bit my tongue, keeping my opinion to myself. Wasn't he old enough to stay alone? "I'll wait for the weekend. Or I can meet you for lunch one of these days." I suggested, never giving up easily.
"I guess" Colbie shrugged, blinking back at me.
I ran my hands through my hair and she bit her lip. "What?" I rose a brow at her, feeling a little frustrated.
She shrugged again. "I feel like we should have videotaped tonight so I could have proof it existed."
My face lost the grim expression and I laughed, thinking that maybe I was overthinking. "I think you'll find you're sore enough to have the proof."
She blushed and looked down from me. "I mean to prove it to all my friends and future lovers to show then what they have to live up to."
I felt my face turn hard again. She had to be kidding me. Maybe I was supposed to laugh, but I didn't feel like laughing. "What?"
"What part was confusing?"
"Why are you thinking about future lovers at all?" I asked.
She stared at me. "I was kidding Jax, I'm sure tonight will hold me over for another two years."
I just shook my head, my fists gripping the steering wheel harder than I needed to. "Colbie don't talk to a man you just slept with about other men."
"Why?" She asked, as if I was the one not making sense.
"Have you ever dated before?!" I groaned, exhasperated.
"We're not dating...I mean this was a date but mostly it was just pent up sexual frustration."
"Just?! You think tonight was just anything?" I said back, surprised and not in a good way.
She shook her head. "I mean it was one of the best nights of my life but-"
"But what Colbie? Tell me now why you bolting the minute we're finished is okay." I cut her off.
"It-come on Jax you've never kicked out a girl after sex? I was just making it easier!"
I growled and glared at her, knowing that it was probably my fault if she thought I'd do that, but annoyed anyway that she tought I could do that to her. "But what?" I asked again in a low voice, feeling more coming.
"But it's not real life for me Jax. My life is work and my son and my family and I don't have time for men who make me lose my mind"
I processed her words and found myself nodding. That made sense and she had to be used to that kind of life, after all she was a single mom and that had to be hard. It wasn't too much for me though, if that was the only bump on my way I still had good chances. "I understand that." I said quietly.
Her brows shot up as she looked at me, "Do you?"
"I do, I have work and family too and for the son part? I can guess, it's already hard sometimes for my brother and his wife, it must be harder for you." I went on, being rational and understanding like always.
She seemed taken aback and I could tell she had a lot going on in her mind. "Good." Was all she said.
"I still want to take you out though." I added and reached for her hand, giving it a squeeze.
"Until your next girl?" She said with a smirk, making me want to roll my eyes. God she really had confidence issues but if that meant I had to shower her with compliments? I'd do that, because she deserved them.
I shook my head, my eyes dropping on her hand as I turned it in mine and traced the lines on her palm with the tip of my hand. "I'm done with girls. I want a woman, with capital W." I paused to make eye contact as I smirked, "Just like you. I want you."
She licked her lips, blushing a little. "You're good with words." She pointed out.
"I'm good with many things." I said back as I shot her a smug grin. Her mouth opened and I could sense she was about to come up with another stupid excuse, so I cut her off because she could even talk and pressed my lips to hers. "I'm not going to take no as an answer. We spent a good night together and you liked it as much as I do. I'm not going to give you any other choice Colbie, either you say yes now or I'll ask you again and again and again until you'll say yes anyway."
"Okay yes." Colabie agreed finally.
I shot her a grin. "Good girl."
She laughed. "It won't be easy."
"I hear the things that are worth it never are." I reached out and brushed her hair back while I realized how much I wished she could spend the night with me.
"Kiss me." She said softly and didn't need to ask twice, I reached out and pulled her towards me, kissing me like the starving man I was. I didn't know how long it'd be before I'd see her again but I knew it wouldn't be soon enough.
"You better get out before I drag you back home with me." I said against her lips.
She laughed. "Don't be a stranger." She teased.
"I won't."
