Mass Destruction

Chapter 22

Preparing breakfast is extremely hard with Jax latching to my neck like a tick. He's been feeling frisky since last night when we had three rounds of sex – note all lasting longer than 15 minutes, and this morning when we had two rounds in the shower. Abel is playing in his high chair with his spoon. He has finished eating his pancakes.

"Just one more" he pleads, I chuckle and turn around in his arms

"You're insatiable"

"With a girl like you, how can I not be?"

I wrap my arms around his neck and swoon at his words; he knows how to get to me. He always has.

"I'm not abandoning our child to have a quickie with you"

"Neeta's coming in a few" he bargains and I laugh, "I have to get to the gallery, but you're more than welcome to come pay me a visit later on"

Jax smirks, "I'll be there"

I roll my eyes, "of course you will be"

I'm busy painting a portrait of Jax and Abel, Diana is on her lunch break so I'm managing the reception as well. It's a quiet day, so I've been spending my day painting.

I smile when I hear the bike outside, not long followed by the door opening. "Hey baby" I grin and walk up to him. Jax smirks and kisses my lips, "How's my sexy little receptionist?"

I roll my eyes, "I don't know, Diana is at the pizza place"

"Funny"

I grin and kiss him again, "I'm busy painting a portrait of you and Abe."

"Out of memory? This is gorgeous babe" he inspects the half-finished portrait

"No, I took a photo of you and him last night"

Jax nods and sighs deeply, "I have to tell you something. You aren't gonna be happy"

"That's words every old lady wants to hear"

Jax sighs and takes my hand; he leads me to the couch and makes me sit on his lap.

"Shit went sideways with the cartel and we got caught"
"What shit – what happened?"

"Full disclosure?"

"Yeah"

"Shit between the Niners and us got bad when we took the deal with the cartel. Tig got pissed off and tried to run them down, he accidentally killed Pope's daughter. Pope wants us in prison"

"For murder?"

"Yeah"

I suddenly feel nauseous, "Oh my God"

I stand up from his lap and pace up and down, "ah shit Jax"

"I'm sorry baby"

"It's not your fault" I mutter honestly, "When are you going in? Do you have protection? Who is going in, how long are you going in for?"

Jax smirks slightly, "only a neurotic person asks four questions in one sentence"

"I'm not kidding Teller"

He sighs, "Tig; Chibs and I"

"Why only three of you?"

"We got witnessed. I have no idea how long we're going in for but Pope's got it in for us. We don't have protection yet, working on it"

"Oh Jax" I whisper, already stressed the fuck out. This was not what I expected when he got here today.

"I'm sorry" he whispers again, I smile and sit down on his lap, "You better stay whole Teller. I mean it; I need you to stay safe"
