Page 59 of Hate the Game (Playing Dirty #1)

***Savannah***

Slowly coming awake, I blinked my eyes open and my soul nearly left my body. I only managed to hold back a scream because I realized the man leaning over me was Jax. My heart still raced like I was about to be murdered, though.

I pushed his face away and groaned. “You scared me half to death! What are you doing?”

He crawled over me and sank into my bed behind me, pulling me into his chest to spoon me. There was something with the Carrington kids that made them amazing big spoons. I instantly melted into his embrace and calmed down.

“You were starting to wake up and I wanted to know the moment it was no longer creep behavior to crawl into your bed.” He nuzzled the back of my neck and groaned. “Cole and Ryder went to practice. I decided it’d be worth it to skip if it meant I got to do this.”

I stiffened slightly at the mention of Cole’s name but Jax was so busy kissing the back of my neck and shoulder that I couldn’t stay tense.

I’d deal with the consequences of what I’d done later.

For that moment I just wanted to be held by Jax.

“I can’t believe the golden boy is skipping practice to cuddle. ”

He grazed my skin with his teeth and grunted. “If you still think I’m the golden boy, I haven’t been doing enough to prove you wrong.”

My hips had a mind of their own and they wanted to be even closer to Jax. It was the one point of contact he hadn’t given me and I wanted it. When his hand snapped down to grip my hip, I froze and looked over my shoulder at him. “What?”

“I’m trying to be a gentleman, Savannah.

” I just kept staring at him in confusion until he pressed forward and let me feel the thing he considered ungentlemanly.

My eyes widened and my cheeks burned but when I turned back to my little spoon position there was a grin on my face.

Jax didn’t bother pulling back again. He let me feel the length of his erection pressing into my ass and let his grip on my hip slide forward the smallest bit. “Okay?”

I didn’t mean to laugh. If he thought he was somehow pushing himself on me, he clearly didn’t know that he and his two best friends had turned me into a big ‘ole skank. I’d even been the one trying to rub my ass on him. Yet he was worried about me.

I suddenly found myself on my back with Jax straddling my hips and pretending to glare down at me. I tried to buck him off but he was too heavy. Then he pinned my arms to my sides and gave me a look that made my vagina sit up and beg.

“What’s funny?”

I licked my lips and glanced down at where he was tenting his basketball shorts. “You. Asking me if I’m okay with you touching me like you haven’t already had your entire face buried between my legs. It’s sweet but you’ve seen the way I basically become a randy dog when I’m around you.”

His grin was devastating. “A randy dog?”

“Because they hump people’s legs…” I scowled at him. “Why’d you make me say it out loud?”

“You want to hump my leg, Sav?” He bent down and buried his face into my chest. He opened his mouth and huffed out a warm breath over my nipple, then nippled it through my shirt. “The feeling’s mutual.”

I lifted my head as much as I could, all but begging for him to kiss me. Then I remembered morning breath and froze. “Oh, god. I have to brush my teeth first. I want you to kiss me, Jax, but I don’t want you to know what my morning breath smells like.”

“What if I tell you that I don’t care what it smells like?”

I shook my head. “I have to be able to look at myself later. If I know that I subjected you to that I don’t think I’d ever stop thinking about it.”

He let out a dramatic groan and rolled off me. Flopped onto his back beside me he shut his eyes and motioned for me to go. “At least hurry.”

I laughed and hesitated next to the bed. Some kind of horny Jezebel had taken over my body because I shrugged and leaned onto the bed to press a kiss to his erection. It twitched and then Jax growled and I rushed to the bathroom before I lost my chance to have fresh breath.

I took care of my bathroom needs and hurried through washing my hands and brushing my teeth.

I couldn’t look myself in the mirror unless I wanted to unpack all of my emotional shit right there in the bathroom.

I pulled my hair up in a neater bun without looking and then rushed back into the hallway.

Blaire was walking down the hall towards my room. She spotted me and grinned. “I brought muffins and juice. I need to know the details of whatever happened to you yesterday. When you didn’t come back last night I knew you’d be walking funny today and I was right.”

I shot her a horrified look. “I am not walking funny!”

“Here. Hold this. I need to see if Jax is in his room. Dad’s looking for him and had to call me since Jax’s phone is off. You know he’s pissed when he calls me.” She raised her fist to knock on Jax’s door but I stopped her with a wince.

“He’s… He’s in my room.” I saw her eyes widen and held up my hands. “They all slept in my room last night because theirs was trashed by the cheerleaders with glitter and thongs.”

She glanced down at my crotch and wagged her brows. “I’m sure you all slept a ton.”

I groaned and shook my head. “Get your mind out of the gutter. Come on. You can see for yourself the blankets on the floor.”

I pushed open my door for her without thinking and we both stepped in to see Jax stretched across my bed in a sexy pose, without a stitch of clothing on.

There was nothing left to the imagination.

Blaire screamed and stumbled back, dropping everything in her hands to cover her eyes.

Jax screamed and snatched my pillow over his dick as he stood up and backed himself into a corner.

“What the fuck, Jax?! Oh, my god! I’ll never recover!”

“Why are you here? You didn’t see anything!” Jax was bright red all over and he shot a look at me. “Why the hell would you bring my sister in here?! We were…and then you kissed my… What about that said that my sister should come over?”

I lost it. The image of Jax posing like some sort of video vixen was going to be forever burned into my brain.

I doubled over, holding my stomach as I cackled with tears leaking from my eyes.

It got so bad that I did my silent laugh where no sound comes out and I feel like my head will explode.

My stomach cramped as I gave up and slumped to the floor.

My laughter triggered Blaire’s and poor Jax was stuck in his corner, naked and embarrassed. Blaire finally got enough control over herself to tell him why she’d been looking for him. “Dad is looking for you. He’s pissed.”

Jax swore. “Get out. I’m not dressing in front of you.”

“I wish you’d thought about that before I saw your dingdong wiggling all over the place.” She shuddered. “I’ll never be able to hook up with anyone after seeing that.”
