Chapter 15

💀Jax's POV💀Savannah, the kids and I walked around the mall, going from store to store to find the perfect dress. She had found a couple that she said liked but hadn't brought anything yet. There was one more store left and the kids were starting to get antsy.

"You go look for something and I'll take the kids over to the bounce house." I said.

"Ok. I won't be long."

She went to walk away but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back to me. I caught the slight panic that crossed her face at being held like that even though she didn't mean to show it. Easing the pressure of my grip, I pulled her into me and wrapped my arms around her.

"Where do you think your going without kissing me first?" I said.

"I was trying to make this quick so we could get out of here and get home."

"And it takes too much time to give me kiss?"

"No."

I leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. The kids must have thought it was the most disgusting thing that they had ever saw because both started shouting "Ewwww". I didn't pay them any mind. They would soon understand what it meant to want to kiss someone. That time would come sooner than I even wanted to think about.

"Go find a dress and we'll be over at the bounce house."

"Okay."

When she walked away, I smacked her lightly on the ass and watched as she turned her head and smiled over her shoulder. She continued to walk, her hips swaying from side to side almost hypnoticly. I could watch her walk all day long if it meant I was behind her and got to see her ass.

"Okay boys, who's ready to go bounce?"

🍑Savannah's POV🍑As I walked into the last clothing store, I caught sight of what I had been looking for. I had wanted something that would be form fitting to show off my ass and what little bit of tits I had. And praise Jesus, they had it in navy blue. Grabbing my size, I went to the dressing room to try it on.

The dress I had picked was strapless with a sweetheart neckline. Even at my height of 5'2", the dress hit me about 5 inches above the knee. If I had been any taller, it would have been better suited as a shirt and not a dress. Pairing the dress with my black 4 inch heels, I knew I would look hot.

I removed the dress and placed it back onto the hanger and got dressed. As I was walking to the sales counter, I strolled through the clothing section once more and found a pair of acid washed jeans skinny jeans that I knew would make my ass look great and a navy blue off the shoulder top. I knew I had a pair of black riding boots that would pair well with the outfit. Making sure to grab my correct size, I once again headed for the sales counter but was distracted by the lingerie section of the store. I wasn't a big fan of sexy underwear, but special occasions called for special attire. As I sifted though the racks, I found a black corset and thong set. Knowing it would make the dress look even more amazing, I scooped it up and headed for the sales counter again.

After paying, I left the store and walked in the direction of the bounce house Jax had taken the boys too. I saw Jax as I rounded the corner and was struck by how truly handsome he is. I had seen some beautiful men in my time but none compared to Jax Teller. Not only was he hot, he had that swagger that all the girls loved. You could look at him and tell he would be great in the sack. I could attest that he was not only good in sack, was AMAZING! Most men who were packing in the dick department didn't know how to use what the good lord gave them. Well, not Jax. He knew how to use every single inch of his length. In fact, with every step I took, I could feel the soreness deep inside me that no one had ever been able to leave me with. So yes, Jax Teller was in league of his own. As I continued to walk towards him, I looked around and watched as women passed him by, giving him a one and sometime twice over. A few of them actually adjusted their clothing to show more cleavage hoping to snag his attention. To Jax's credit though, he didn't look at a single one of them. His eyes were watching the boys having fun.

When I reached the bounce house,  snuggled up beside him and wrapped my free arm around his waist. He was even surprised at what I had done. It was almost as if he knew I was coming up behind him. As we stood there, he adjusted our stance and threw one arm over my shoulder, pulling me closer into him. He tried to take the bag I was carrying but I didn't let him. I didn't want to risk him sneaking a peek at what I had picked up. I wanted both outfits, lingerie included, to be a total surprise. I couldn't want to see the look on his face when he peeled my dress off and was left with the attire that was underneath.

When the kids time was done in the bounce house, we left the mall and headed to get dinner. We let the kids decide what we ate and wouldn't you know it, we ended up at my favorite restaurant, Olive Garden. I mean, who doesn't love pasta? The kids shared alfredo while Jax and I both ordered the chicken and shrimp carbonara.

It felt good to be having dinner like this. It was almost like we were a family. With everything that had happened in the past two days, it felt good to be able to sit down and have a meal and not think about all the shit happening to me. I knew that when I got home and was all alone, those lonely thoughts would creep back in but for now, I was just enjoying being around Jax and the kids.

"Would you all like any desert tonight?" Asked our waitress, eyes Jax.

"No, I think were good." I said, looking as Jax to confirm that I was right.

"Okay. What about take out boxes?"

"Yes please. Two of them."

"No problem."

When the waitress walked away, I looked at Jax. The waitress had been openly flirting and eying him since we were seated. As with the girls in the mall, Jax hadn't seemed to even notice her though. I had to give him credit, most men would have snuck little peeks of her as she walked by but not Jax. Nope, he had kept his eyes on me and the kids.

💀 Jax's POV 💀After dinner, Savannah, the kids, and I all went back to my place. It was getting late and the kids were quickly approaching their bedtime. While I helped Abel with his homework, Savannah have Thomas a bath and got him dressed for bed. After he came and gave me a kiss good night, he and Savannah went back to his room where she read him a bedtime story while Abel and I finished his homework.

Once Abel and I were done with homework, we got his a bath and in the bed. I hadn't seen Savannah in quite a few minutes and went in search of her. To say Thomas had always been a fighter when it came to bedtime was a huge understatement. Since the day he was born, he hated to go to sleep. I remember a few times where Tara and I just had to place him in his room and close the door and let him cry himself to sleep because he would fight sleep so hard. It broke my heart to have to do that but it needed to be done. That being said, it surprised me when I peeped into his room and found him out like a light. Savannah had let him crawl into her lap for story time and the two of them were sound asleep. I stood there watching them sleep, shocked at how much I cared about this woman. In such a short amount of time, she had worked her way into my heart and into the hearts of my kids. I knew that as long as she was in our lives, everything would be ok.

I walked over to the rocking chair where Savannah and Thomas were sleeping and gently picked him up and laid him down in the crib, tossing his favorite blanket over him. I then went back over to Savannah and lifted her and began walking her to my bedroom. She stirred when I lifted her, looking up at me through sleepy eyes.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"After 10:00."

"Oh. Sorry I feel asleep."

"Shhh..."

I laid her down on the bed but she stood back up looking around my bare space. In the room there was nothing but the bed and a dresser. No photos, no decorations of any kind. My personal space was so stark compared to hers which was vibrant and decorated and reflected her personality so well. Since moving in, I hadn't had the urge to unpack anything that wasn't deemed a necessity. Maybe it was time to start unpacking.

"You really want me to spend the night?" She asked.

"Absolutely."

"I don't have anything to sleep in."

"Take one of my old shirts. Hell, sleep naked if you want. That's how I plan on sleeping."

"Are you sure?"

"About sleeping naked? Absolutely. Not that I sleep much but when I do, I don't want anything restricting me."

"No, I meant are you sure about me staying?" She said laughing

"Savannah, I love you. You know that. You have accepted that. So yes, I want you to stay. Hell if it were ok to me, I'd be moving your stuff in here so you wouldn't ever leave but I don't want to rush things."When  I made the comment about moving her things into my place, I saw the knee jerk reaction she tried to hide. She had admitted to loving me but I knew she wasn't ready to take things to the next level and start living together. If I was I was being completely honest, I didn't know if I was ready for that. The last thing I wanted to do was rush this thing between us and end up screwing things up.

"Breath Savannah. I just said I didn't want to rush things. I won't ask you to move in until your me ready."

"Thank you." Savannah said as she released the breath she had been holding.

Needing to change the subject so that she relaxed, I told her there was an extra toothbrush in the bathroom and where the towels were in case she wanted a shower.

She took me up on the toothbrush offer but not the shower. I sat and watched as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Fuck, I had almost had her running scared when I mentioned moving her things. While I was serious about moving her things, I meant it as a joke. It was meant to show her how serious I was about us. All it had done was tense her up.

While she was in the bathroom, I stripped down, flipped the lights off, and crawled into bed. Glancing at the clock, I saw it was 10:26. I couldn't remember the last time I had laid down to try and get some sleep so early. It had to be at least 20 years ago since I had been in bed before midnight.

I heard the bathroom door open and turned my head to towards the door. Savannah stood there completely nude. I might be in bed early but I can promise, I won't be going to sleep anytime soon.
