Jessa's pov
Waking up in Brantleys arms had done nothing but put me right back on edge. The frustrating part was he didn't seam at all interested in helping me deal the the aching tension between my thighs. He kissed me sweetly and told me he had something he needed to deal with before we hit the road. But he promised to take care of me when we made it to Virginia tonight. I just wasn't 100% sure what he ment and the look in his eyes told me not to push it. So I opted for another shower.
When I came out of the bathroom Jake was sitting on our bed and B still hadn't come back. Seeing his split and swollen lip gave me little to no satisfaction after my frustrating morning. If anything I wanted to make the other side match now. I was going to ask how he got in the room but he started talking before I had a chance.
"Look Jessa I'm sorry, I. .." I couldn't help it I cut him off. "Sorry? You think you're sorry?" I snapped at him. "I finally find a man who likes me for me, not my ass or rack; and he doesn't give a damn about my past issues other than helping me through them, and you think you're sorry after the shit you just pulled? What the fuck is wrong with you? " I was kinda shocked to hear myself almost screaming the last of my words. I had never screamed at Jake like this before. "If I had done anything like that to you, you would have shout someone last night! Its a two was street jake, and I'm not just some random piece of ass to him! " I was still yelling and hadn't heard B come back in the room. Didn't even feel him walk up behind me. When he put his hand on my shoulder it startled me so badly I socked him with a right hook before it even registered what I had done. He even stumbled back a few steps. "Oh my God! B !!!! Are you, baby are you ok? " I was crying by this point or at least I could feel tears falling down my face. He looked kinda dazed and confused for a second then snapped out of it as I hesitantly moved towards him. He grabbed both of my hands and held them to my sides. "I know you didn't do that on purpose baby, but do my a favor and sit your ass in that chair while I handle this once and for all." He told me through gritted teeth. I could tell it was taking all the self control he had to stay level headed and not yell at me so I quickly put my ass in the chair. What calm Brantley had faded away as he turned towards Jake, his back now to me. Truthfully seeing him like this turned me on even more. His shoulders were squared up, the muscles in his back were tensed, and his eyes were dark as hell. "I slipped through that door pretty easy without either of you hearin cuz she was chewing on your ass pretty good. I had half a mind to let your damn stunt go since she was on a roll puttin your ass in its place but after what just happened your ass is going to sit right there on That bed and listen to what I gotta say now. And you better listen good cuz I won't say this again. Back the fuck off man! She's a grown ass woman and I'm not going to hurt her!" I jumped when B yelled the last part. Jake just sat there with his head hung. "You've known me since we were kids. Only people I've ever hurt were dudes man! Duds who thought they were Billy bad asses or knocked their ol lady around. I get it, ya want her safe and she's all the family you got but you will back off or it will be me who hits you if you're dumb enough for their to be a next time. And you'll have more than just a slit lip when I'm done! " I could see Bs lip was starting to swell and I felt so damn bad. I tensed up when Jake stood from the bed. Only a few inches were between him and Brantley. They were pretty much toe to toe and I was holding my breath. "You're right, you both are." Jake said quietly. I finally took a breath as Jake stepped past Brantley and towards me. "Jessa I'll keep my nose out of your business from.now on unless you ask." He told me then turned to face B. "Thanks for not splitting my skull open after all this man. I would have deserved it after actin like you would do her wrong." Jake extended his had to B. B just looked at it for a second then finally shook it. "I'm gonna go pack up." Jake told us making his way to the door. With a grin he told B, "don't even bother icing that lip man it didn't do me any good last night."
