My eyes plead with him.

"Shit, I'm so sorry Kai. I'm still half asleep I forgot you were grazed by that bullet earlier. Are you ok? I'm so sorry if I hurt you!" I take a big breath, panicking.

Everyone is now watching us, concern etched into their faces now that they've remembered too.I feel awful. Kai frowns at me seemingly confused.

"I'm absolutely fine.” He says frowning again.

We all look at him sceptically, even if he didn't actually land on his injured arm the impact from falling off of the bed would've still jarred it, causing him pain.He reaches over to the bandage on his arm and I scoot back a bit on his legs giving him more room, it doesn’t occur to me to get off of him.He unwinds it and we all watch him confused.Once he's taken it off completely though, I gasp in shock hearing it echoed by the others.

I lean forward and lightly trace my fingertips overthe pale white scar now in the place of where the bullet had grazed Kai's arm.

"How is this possible?" I ask turning towards Levi, since he seems like he knows most of the answers usually.

However, this time he looks as confused and perplexed as the rest of us. Well shit, if even Levi is stumped then fuck knows what happened.

"I honestly have no idea; I can only guess that it has something to do with the Soulmate bond.” He looks thoughtful for a moment before continuing, "We can ask Mr. S when we see him for the meeting.” He glances around at us all.

I relax slightly knowing that there is someone who at least knows something about what's happening to us and what in the world a Soulmate bond actually involves.

"Actually, I was about to come in to wake you guys, we are going to be landing soon." Levi informs us.

"Come on Little Star, shower time." Jax winks at me plucking me off of Kai's lap.

He better not think he's coming in with me.

Cheeky bastard.

The move is so sudden that I instinctively wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. His hand automatically moves down to my ass in order to help me stay up, as he walks us towards the bathroom. He stops suddenly, his breathing seeming to halt in his chest, and he squeezes his eyes shut.

I look at him confused.

When he opens his gorgeous sapphire blue eyes, I'm shocked and admittedly arousedby the amount of barely restrained desire I can see contained in his eyes.

"Little Star, where are your panties?" He says huskily, his voice practically dripping with heat.

All noise behind Jax stops and I glance over his shoulder at the others.My faces heats in mortification for the second time this morning.

Damn it.

Kai, Maverick and Levi all have their eyes trained on where Jax currently has his hand placed on my ass cheek.Hunter has stopped midway through putting his shirt on and is just staring at me, his eyebrow slightly raised.I'd forgotten in the drama of this morning that I'd taken my jeans off last night.

"I do have underwear on." I state.

"It doesn't look like it from here Titch." Maverick chimes in helpfully.

Jax having apparently gotten over the shock of thinking I have no underwear on, strokes my ass before squeezing gently.

"Doesn't feel like it either Little Star.” He smirks at me.

I smirk back, fighting down my desire as much as I can.

"Well I can promise you I do have underwear on there’s just not much to them." I shrug as I state it nonchalantly.

Using Jax's shock to my advantage, I jump down and, ignoring the others behind me who still haven't said a word, bend down to pick up my bag, which sets of a chorus of groans behind me. Whoops I forgot you shouldn’t bend down in teeny tiny underwear. I smirk to myself as I walk swiftly to the bathroom and shut the door and let out a deep breath. It's never going to be boring with my guys around, that’s for damn sure.

"She's going to be the death of us." Jax states, sounding completely unconcerned and in fact quite excited about the prospect.

I don't wait to hear the others reply and reach into the shower to turn it on. I wash quickly and get dressed in black skin tight jeans with black suspenders attached. I pair them with a loose-fitting white blouse that Hunter must’ve have found buried in my closet when he went to get me some clothes from my mothers. I think it might be my job interview one, another thrift store find.
