Page 11 of Big Easy

On the inside, I'm swooning at the words that just tumbled out of Jaxson's mouth.

And by the look on my mom and sisters faces, they are feeling the same way.

"Jaxson," I breathe, leaning into his side.

. "And my answer is yes, I'd love to go with you.

" When I cut my gaze toward my dad, I'm shocked to see him giving Jaxson a look of respect.

My father takes the safety of his girls seriously, so I'd say Jaxson just earned a ton of brownie points with his speech.

Then I watch his expression change and I know what's coming.

It takes all I have to hold back my sigh.

"Wait," Dad cuts in. "Is this event safe? New Orleans can get pretty wild."

"Dad!" I groan. "You realize I'm grown and go to New Orleans all the time. Heck, I meet my friends for drinks there at least once a month. It's perfectly safe." I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, and let's not count the times Sutton and I used to sneak out and go to the French Quarter when we were in high school." My sister stupidity decides to chime in.

"What!" Dad nearly chokes on his food while mom jumps up and pounds on his back.

I shoot my sister a death glare and she winks.

Jaxson squeezes my waist and chuckles. "It's okay, babe." He then addresses my dad. "I promise you, sir, there is no safer place for Sutton than with my men and me. You have my word."

Dad finally catches his breath then studies Jaxson for a beat, judging the sincerity of his words. Seeming satisfied, the subject is changed, and we all carry on a more lighthearted conversation for the remainder of our visit.

Not long after leaving my parents' house, we are pulling up to Hades Outlaw clubhouse, where Jaxson parks his bike alongside several others.

Climbing off, I retrieve my purse from the saddlebag and begin fidgeting with the strap.

My nerves start to kick in at the thought of meeting his brothers.

Placing his finger underneath my chin, Jaxson forces me to look at him.

"My brothers are going to like you, babe.

Stop worrying. Come on." He takes my hand and leads me inside.

Once we step through the door, I take in my surroundings.

I'm not sure what I was expecting an MC clubhouse to look like.

The place is big. The room we are standing in is an open space with an L-shaped bar on the back wall.

Hanging above the bar is some sort of lighting fixture made out of metal pipes, and it extends the entire length of the bar.

It's actually charming and unique. To my right is what looks to be an eighty-inch flat screen TV mounted on the wall.

In front of the TV sits a brown leather sectional sofa and a coffee table.

And to my right, in the far corner, is a small stage equipped with a drum set and several guitars resting on their stands.

Scattered throughout the rest of the room are a few bar tables and stools.

I like it. After I have taken in the room, I realize there are several sets of eyes on me, and the chatter that filled the room when we walked in has come to a halt.

"Hey, Prez. Who ya got there?" a man with messy blond hair asks, and sitting on his lap is a woman with red hair in a messy bun at the top of her head. Both are wearing big smiles.

Jaxson regards the man. "This is Sutton.

Sutton, meet Bite, our Road Captain and his old lady, Ivy.

" Next, Jaxson points to a huge man with midnight black hair, and the woman standing beside him can't be no more than five feet tall and has long wavy brown hair.

"That is Grim and Rylee. Grim is the club Enforcer.

" Continuing down the line, Jaxson introduces three more couples.

"The man behind the bar is Brewer. He is our VP, and sitting on the stool at the bar is his woman Alexa.

And last, we have Slider, Julia, and their son Bash.

Slider is the club's Sergeant at Arms." He gestures to the man with a reddish-brown man-bun sitting on the sofa with a woman holding a small child with red hair.

I look at Slider, then back at Ivy. Both have red hair, and both carry similar features. Ivy smiles. "Slider is my brother."

I return Ivy's smile and give everyone a little wave.

"I still can't fuckin' believe what I am seein', Prez." The man Jaxson introduced as Bite strides in our direction, stopping beside Jaxson, then claps him on the back. "The bachelor of Hades has finally fallen."

"Fuck off, Bite," Jaxson says in a way that lets us know he's not really mad.

Hearing Jaxson fall into a comfortable banter with his brothers has gone a long way in helping ease my nerves.

So far, everyone seems friendly. Just then, Rylee comes up to us.

"The girls and I are going to steal Sutton from you for a bit.

" Rylee takes my hand and doesn't wait for Jaxson's reply before leading me over to the sofa where the other women have congregated.

I look back over my shoulder to Jaxson to see him grinning at me before he walks off toward the bar with the guys.

"So, you have to tell us everything. How did you and Easy meet? What's it like dating him? He's so serious and intense all the time."

"Rylee, calm your tits," Ivy jests. "You're going to scare her off before we can corrupt her and convert her to one of us. We want her to like us, not think we're nuts."

At Ivy's attempt to get the scoop, I can't help but laugh.

"Trust me, you can't be any crazier than my family.

I mean, my twin sister threatened to cut Jaxson's balls off if he hurt me.

If threatening bodily harm against the president of Hades Outlaw isn't crazy, then I don't know what is.

" All four women stare at me with their mouths gaped open.

"You have a twin, and she threatened Big Easy, and he took it? " Julia asks.

"Yep."

"Hot damn!" Alexa slaps her leg.

After we all have a good laugh and the ice has been broken, Alexa asks, "Big Easy says you're a nurse?"

I nod. "A hospice nurse. That's how we met. I was volunteering at the Cancer Center's charity event."

"My mom is a nurse over at the clinic where Dr. Murphy works," Julia tells me.

"Really? You know who my dad is?"

"Yeah, it didn't take long for me to put the pieces together." She laughs. "Her name is Evelyn. You might have run into her?" Alexa supplies, and I can't believe what a small world we live in sometimes.

"Actually, my dad knows her. She is the one who spilled the beans about Jaxson to my dad."

Alexa smirks and shakes her head. "My mother is so damn nosey. That does not surprise me at all."

Over the course of the night, I get to know the old ladies of Hades Outlaw, and I have to admit, I like them a whole lot. I can't believe I was worried about meeting them. Turns out they were just as nervous.

"If you ladies are done with my girl, I'm going to steal her back.

" I look over my shoulder to see Jaxson standing directly behind where I'm sitting on the sofa.

Gently fisting my hair, he forces my head back, leans down, and devours my mouth.

And just like that, my panties are wet. Breaking the kiss, Jaxson growls, "We're crashing here tonight. "

"Okay." My reply comes out breathless. Taking my hand, Jaxson pulls me off the couch and begins striding across the clubhouse.

I almost have to run to keep up with his long stride.

As soon as we reach the second floor, we make our way to the last door at the end of the hall.

Taking a key from his pocket, Jaxson unlocks it.

Two seconds later, he kicks the door shut with his booted foot and presses my body up against it.

Threading my fingers through his hair, I kiss him.

Jaxson growls deep in his chest when I begin to grind down against the knee he has placed between my legs.

I don't recognize the woman I've become when I'm with Jaxson, but I like her.

Gone are the insecurities and the wondering if I am desirable enough for a man like him.

That first time we were together, I became a completely different woman.

But something tells me she has been there all along, buried deep inside of me, waiting for the right man to come along and show me how to set her free.

I now know the problem with my last relationship was not with me; it was Noah.

There was no passion between us. He never acted as if I was desirable.

He never made me feel the way Jaxson does.

With Jaxson, it's like I am the sexiest thing he has ever laid eyes on.

He makes me feel beautiful. And in return, I can expel all the doubt that was weighing me down for so long.

Soon, our kiss turns beyond heated, and in the next second, we are in a race to get our clothes off. Jaxson rips my shirt over my head. Next, he steps back and shrugs his cut off, hanging it on a hook beside the door. "Clothes off and on the bed," he orders, his tone gruff.

Doing as he says, I kick my shoes off and peel my jeans down my legs.

Next to go are my bra and panties. Once I am completely naked, I lie on the bed and watch as Jaxson reaches behind his head and pulls his t-shirt off.

I let my eyes drink in the sight of his broad chest and the black and grey tattoo that spans across his left peck down his entire arm and ribcage.

My eyes then travel south when he begins to unbuckle his belt and swiftly rids himself of his jeans, exposing his long thick cock.

My sex clenches in anticipation of having him inside me.

Placing his knee on the bed, Jaxson moves his body atop mine, and I spread my legs, allowing him to settle his large form over my much smaller one.

I close my eyes and sigh when he palms the back of my head with one hand and my ass with the other, bringing his chest flush against mine.

My nipples harden to peaks the moment his chest hair brushes against my breasts.

I love how much bigger Jaxson is than me.

And I love having the weight of him against me. I find it oddly comforting.

"Open your eyes and look at me," he demands, his mouth a breath away from mine. And when I do as he says, I am met with a look I have never seen before. It's a look of pure adoration.

"Don't take your eyes off of me. I want you watching me while I bury my cock in your tight pussy and claim what's mine.

" At his words, Jaxson eases his cock inside of me, inch by inch.

Not once do I dare break eye contact. The connection between us is so intense, and I realize that this moment is not about sex.

It's about precisely what he just said. He is making me his.

With lazy movements, Jaxson begins to thrust, and I gasp. "Jaxson."

"That's right. Who's inside of you?" he growls, grinding his pelvis against my swollen clit.

"You are," I breathe out.

"Who do you belong to?" Jaxson swivels his hips, and my eyes roll to the back of my head.

"You own me," I pant.

"Eyes," he snaps, and stops moving.

When he stills, my eyelids flutter open, and I focus my gaze back on his face. Then he asks a question that has all the air leaving my body.

"Who do I belong to?"

I swallow. "You, Jaxson Carter, belong to me."

"Damn right I do," he declares, driving his cock so deep inside my orgasm comes out of nowhere, crashing through my entire body, and I scream.

"Fuck," Jaxson grinds out as he takes my mouth with his, swallowing my cries of pleasure. With one final thrust, he buries himself deep inside me, and an animalistic sound erupts from deep within his chest as he crashes over the edge with me.
