Jax felt Chloe on top of him before he sensed her, and he was overcome with the impression that she had been straddling him for a long while. He was very distracted, focused on the intoxicating churn that was occurring within his psyche, but how she had evaded his awareness was beyond him. The foreign feeling of being caught off guard put him on edge, but he didn’t act on it. Instead he cracked his eyes, and tried to discern her motives before either of them made any sudden moves.
His eyebrows furrowed as he looked up at her, realizing that she was raking through his aura with her psychic senses. He knew that he was gleaming with Aeryn’s energy, though there was not much he could do to elude Chloe’s perception of that, especially not now. He had an urge to shut her out, but he had never blocked his aura from Chloe before, and despite his wariness, he didn’t want to. However, she was making him very nervous.
“What are you doing?” He asked, attempting to sit up.
“Shhh,” she hushed him and pressed back on his shoulder. “Rest.”
“Rest?” he repeated. Something about that word, the way she spoke it, the tone of her voice… it felt wrong.
She seemed to sense his suspicion, and lay down on him, pressing the length of her torso against his. “Lie back,” she commanded.
Her voice had a sultry tinge that put a deep dent in his misgivings. He was more than slightly sexually frustrated, and was not accustomed to being so. If Chloe’s intensions were amorous, they were welcome, but Jax’s brain seemed determined to win the battle with his groin.
“What are you doing?” he asked again, his voice softer. He reached up to push the hair from her face, his other hand reaching toward the hem of her skirt.
“Just relax,” she replied. Her voice was warm, but her eyes were frigid. “I’m going take care of you.”
Jax stopped short. He suddenly realized what was off. Her voice, her expression, her words. ‘Rest’. ‘Take care of you’. She was talking to him like he was one of her addicts. Like she was taking energy from him.
And then he sensed it. She had crept into his psyche, barely detectably, and was siphoning small lines of energy from his aura into her own.
He immediately sealed himself off from her and grabbed her waist, yanking her down to the bed. He climbed on top of her before she could react.
“What are you doing?” He growled the words this time.
She laughed, gripping his forearms. “Moonlit flower, the tantrums you throw.”
“Don’t you even think of fucking with me.”
“Aw, you weren’t so opposed to the idea a moment ago. What changed? Is my hair not dark enough for you? My eyes not green enough? My aura not ripe enough?”
“What the fuck were you doing?!” he yelled at her.
“I was assessing a threat,” she said coolly. “You went back to her. I was simply trying to determine what it was that would bring my husband to make a bad situation even worse.”
“By stealing energy from me?!”
She smirked. “How can I steal from you what isn’t yours?”
Jax released her and sat back, his scowl softening.
“I felt the potency of it, Jax. I did,” she said, sitting up slowly. “I understand why it has made you weak. Why you are so susceptible to her. But even the weakest among us know the limits of our actions. She’s a toy, love. A play thing. And you are deluding yourself into thinking she can be anything more than just that.”
“And here you are, reigning over a hoard of mindless drones, telling me about play things.”
“Is that what you want then? A mindless drone? You want a puranadict? You want her to be dependent on your bite?”
He didn’t answer.
“No,” she said. “That’s not what you want. You want her. And you want her, with intact autonomy, to want you back. I know that feeling, my raven, and I can tell you that it won’t happen. And if she isn’t addicted to you, you’ll certainly become addicted to her. You’ve found nothing more that a shiny rock, and you’re trying to force it to become your diamond.” She gazed at him with sympathy etched in her face. “End this.”
An expression of annoyance flitted over his face, but gave her an acquiescing nod.
“Jax,” she said his name firmly, unimpressed by his silence.
“You’ll have to excuse me. I’m new to this.” He ran his hand lightly up her calf before looking up at her with unreadable eyes. “I’ve never had to deal with a jealous wife before.”
The tension in the room exploded, although from their actions, it’d be impossible to know. Chloe lowered her eyes only slightly from Jax’s penetrating stare, but she was not evading his gaze, rather, considering something.
Even Jax was surprised when, without warning, she leaped into his lap and caught him by his hair. Chloe was a tiny thing, pint-sized in comparison to him, but her grip could snap a spine. Although her hold on his neck was a mere annoyance to him, he could not free himself from it without a significant show of force. It took much effort to keep from retaliating.
“Jax,” she whispered. “Sweetness. Whatever you think this is. Whatever you think I’m feeling. Whatever you think will happen when your son learns of your actions. Let that motivate you to end this on your own terms. Because if you don’t, someone else will end it for you. And you don’t want that someone to be me.”
“Are you threatening me?” he asked, staring back at her.
Her fingers tightened on the nape of his neck. “Of course I am, love. I’m your wife.”
The sat looking at each with a fierce intensity for a long moment before he finally spoke again. “It’s done.”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “Please don’t force my hand.”
“I said it’s done.”
____________________________________
Compared to the day before, Aeryn felt vastly improved. She recovered faster and wasn’t so sensitive to everything, and after finding a turtle-neck sweater with long sleeves, she was able to hold conversation with Mickey. Mickey spent the morning watching her every move, passing her energy to test her reaction, and keeping a close eye on her aura, but by the afternoon, she was convinced that Aeryn was okay.
“Hmph,” she huffed, sending an wave of energy in Aeryn’s direction. “I’m still not impressed with your pallor.”
“I just need some sun,” Aeryn answered, and kept Mickey outside and distracted for the rest of the day.
That evening, she submerged herself into a bath of near boiling water, and let herself fall asleep in the midst of its steam.
She awoke to the feeling of being watched. She had no idea how long she had slept there, but the water had cooled significantly.
She rolled her head on the edge of the tub and looked over, unsurprised, at Jax. He had sat down in the ragged leather chair that had been placed in the corner of the room, and was watching her with a creased brow and an air of enthrallment. Aeryn realized that she wasn’t at all concerned about being nude in front of him and her nonchalance made her question her own motives of staying in the tub for so long. She had known deep down that he would return.
“How do you get in here?” she asked lazily.
“The front door.”
“Mickey locks the door every night.”
“I unlock it.”
“How?”
He didn’t answer. She watched his eyes trail shamelessly over the contours of her body.
“That’s impolite,” she said softly.
His eyes returned to her face, their golden sheen accented by tension.
She sat up, propping herself on the rim of the tub. “Has physical control become a concern, Jax?” Aeryn teased him with his own words, and watched his face slowly shift into a light frown. She couldn’t help but giggle at him, and the giggle quickly became and outright laugh.
He did nothing, maintaining his frown, his silence, and his stare.
Cut it out, she thought to herself as she realized that she was baiting him. She pulled the plug from the drain, allowing the water to empty from the tub, and stood up. He studied her every move as she stepped out and left the bathroom.
In the bedroom she threw on underwear and a tank top, not bothering to dry herself off, and watched from the corner of her eye as he slowly followed her out of the bathroom.
“I won’t be visiting you again,” Jax said, looking on offhandedly.
A slew of retorts ran through Aeryn’s head. ‘Good’, she wanted to say. ‘You shouldn’t have come here in the first place. Chauncey is going to fuck you up.’ But that wasn’t what came out. “Why not?”
He looked down, thinking about his next words. “I have broken more than a few of my own rules with you. And selfishly so. Two straight nights of this was irresponsible. Three straight nights would be reckless. The aura is a resilient thing, as is the body, but there is always a breaking point. I think I’ve brought you as close as I’m comfortable taking you. I wouldn’t want you to become… dependent.” He stopped. “I can’t tell if I just lied… ”
Aeryn felt a twinge of anger, but she wasn’t sure at what. “Why would you want someone to become addicted to you?”
He raised his eyebrows. “I don’t. If there were ever one who developed a need for my services, they came to me on their own accord. They fostered their own dependence. Heroin doesn’t ask to be shot into an arm. Cocaine doesn’t plead to be snorted.”
Aeryn stared at him fiercely. “Did you really just say that? Are you going to sit there and tell me that you don’t help to move things along for you own benefit?”
“I make the experience as… memorable as possible,” he said. “But why wouldn’t I? Pain for my host is a pain in the ass for me.”
She shook her head incredulously. “That’s not what I meant! You stalked me. You made – you made the wind talk to me. You incapacitated me in ways I’ve never… I didn’t come to you! I didn’t ask for this! And you’ve – you’ve somehow made me believe that this is what I want!”
“Be assured that I have resigned myself to leave that path.”
Aeryn scoffed. “You are one pompous dick, you know that? You think you’re doing me a fucking favor? Now that you’ve fucked everything beyond repair, you’re resigned to leave the path?! Exactly what the fuck is that?!
“Lower your voice,” he said gently.
“Oh, fuck you!”
They fell into silence, and he waited until she appeared to have calmed down. “My kind can sometimes become a bit obsessive. We too can foster our own dependencies, and I see that I’m heading in that direction with you. It would not benefit either of us to prolong this.”
Aeryn continued to glare at him, her brain racing, not entirely sure what she was feeling. So when she spoke, practically growling the words, she didn’t know where they came from. She wasn’t entirely certain that she was talking, but she was.
“You fucking leech. You started this shit, you’re going to see it through,” she was saying lowly. She was taking purposeful steps towards him, relishing in the confusion that was crossing his face. She was presenting her arm to him, palm up, wrist bared. She was also, obviously, losing her mind.
Jax stared down at her arm, still marked from his past encounters with her. His face was gripped with all sorts of expressions, as if it couldn’t decide on just one.
“You don’t know what you’re doing”, he said, as if trying to convince himself. His voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and lust.
Aeryn pulled off the damp shirt that she had just thrown on not a minute ago and stepped forward, closing the gap between them. She brought her lips as close to his as possible without letting them touch. Toying with him as he had so often done to her. “Do you?” she asked.
He stared at her lips, hovering so close to his, for a long time, not moving, hardly breathing, before letting his gaze return to her eyes. “As I said before, this would be a reckless venture.” His voice was strained, as if warning her, giving her that last out, was the hardest thing he ever had to do.
Aeryn barely let him finish the sentence. “Then I suggest you be careful.”
And it was sealed. He gripped her face, pressing his lips to hers in one feverish sweep. Her feet had left the floor, and her back was suddenly pressed against the sheets of a mattress. She wrapped her legs around his waist and let his lips begin the first trek in their nightlong exploration of her body.
From that moment on, Aeryn was moving in a blur. She knew she had practically ripped Jax’s clothing from his body. She knew that he had bitten her in many places, her neck, her hip, her thigh. She knew that she was deep within the throes of rapture. But she had no sense of time or place. A line had been crossed and she couldn’t go back. If given the choice, she knew that she wouldn’t.
Deceiving the Lie: Part XI (A)>>>>

Writer’s Mood-Kill 
I asked my non-sim-playing-boyfriend’s opinion on some of the pictures I took for the love(ish) scene, and I just HAD TO recap the resulting conversation.
Me: *showing him photos* Does this look natural?
Boy: Is that a breast?
Me: Forget the breast. Do their poses look natural?
Boy: There are breasts in this game?
Me: Moving on. What about this one?
Boy: What is he doing to her?
Me: Uh… I think he’s bowling… at her.
Boy: Bowling? He’s mauling her.
Me: Okay, well… that was not what I was going for, so that pic is out. This one?
Boy: Why is she the only one naked? They’re doing it wrong. What the hell am I looking at?
Me: Oh, I have one where he’s naked… you like this one better?
Boy: …Put his clothes back on.
Me: Okay… What about this one?
Boy: What! Is he doing to her?!
Me: Oh… oh, I don’t remember what that animation is.
Boy: Who is this prick anyway?!
Me: Don’t… don’t get angry with him.
Boy: I will get angry with him! I’ll TP his house!
Me: Okay, okay… how about this one? Is this one natural?
Boy: None of them are natural. They’re computer people, and they maul each other.
Me: No… no, they don’t maul each other autonomously. I made them maul each other. …It was me.
Boy: …*blinking*
Me: Look, just tell me which one you think looks the most natural.
Boy: That one. But what’s with the alarm clock in the middle of the floor?
Me: MOTHER-PLUCKIN’ FREEZER CLOCK!
Boy: What did you call me?
hahahahahaha! Oh boy dude! I tried teach the basics of taking sim pics to my bf once because he thought that he was going to write a short story. Once I got through showing him where everything was, how to use anim boxes, Hula and more, poseboxes, hacks and the like, he totally walked away. Too much work understanding.
Aeryn! You came so close to getting off scott-free! Now there’s going to be so much scott for you. Chloe is coming to bring the scott! And Chauncey will be home. And Jax is going to lose at least one testicle in the resulting crossfire.
Wait- So he and Chloe don’t sleep together anymore? Ha! She almost has no right to be jealous. Although the Chauncey thing is plenty reason to be pissed.

Oh, gooodness, just getting the boy to sit down and LOOK at the photos was a marathon. And then all conversations afterwards revolved around him mumbling something about “kinky-ass games”, and then me yelling, “I TOLD YOU, I MADE THEM DO IT!” and then him mumbling “kinky-ass girlfriends” and then me sighing in defeat.
Aeryn was pretty close to having him up and out of her life. Buuuuuut, I don’t think she wanted to let him leave with all the control. Like, he started this on his terms and he was about to end it on his terms. She at least could say that she didn’t let him do that. Even if that was the dumbest thing NOT to let him do, she was able to control something. You know, Beth once commented about sex being a power play and it always stuck in my brain. Well, that little whatever up there… that was totally a power play.
Uhhhh, Jax and Chloe… I’m not going to say that they DON’T sleep together anymore. I’m sure it happens. They just don’t get the opportunity that often because they are so busy sleeping with everyone else. Jax isn’t sexually frustated because of Chloe. He’s totally blue-ballin’ over Aeryn. Well, he was, anyway.
Chloe probably is a smidge jealous, but they don’t really have the type of marriage that would survive with jealousy, so I don’t think that is her main sentiment. I think she’s really looking at the whole picture and the principle of it all. Not that she has any, but she just knows this is a shit show, and its being fueled by her husband’s assholery. Jax just called jealous to piss her off. Which he did.
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I want to be very very angry at Aeryn and shake her violently but you know what? Jax totally set that up. Has he not heard of cell phones? Call the girl and break it off that way? He KNEW she couldn’t let him go! Asshole!
I hope Chloe rips him a new one. Seriously. And OK I am pissed at Aeryn. I thought she was stronger than that. So they both played each other. I shudder to think what Chloe will do to Aeryn and Chauncey…well if he ever needed an event to throw him over the edge of reason toward his father I think he just found it in spades.

You know, I’m sure he knew that it wouldn’t be easy for her to just kick him. This is definitely the start of a habit. But I don’t think he knew that she’d be so damn bold. I really think he thought he could get off with a few words, leave, and be pissed about it on his own time. At most, he might have left her with a bloody wrist and called it a night. He wasn’t expecting it to go where it went.
HAHA! I like to think that Chauncey is so outside of civilization that there are no phone lines are cell phone towers, but knowing Jax, even if he could have called, he would have still made an appearance.
Chauncey… oh man… and to think, he’s only been gone a few days.
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 3:47 pm
HAHAHA, oh my GOD. It’s like when I show my fiance the ‘questionable’ parts. Most recently, the Melissande and Marcus part in AoL.
Him: “what is he doing? Why are they half naked?”
Me: “Well, you see, when a boy and girl like–”
Him: “Shut up, you know what I mean. What’s she doing with him, anyway?”
Me: “..wh-what? I told you they were involved now–”
Him: “Meh.”
Me: “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? Oh my GOD… okay, lets go over this… the Eckhard thing was like, five minutes long and FOREVER AGO–”
Him: “Meli-slut-sande…”
Me: “ECKHARD DOES NOT CARE! NEITHER SHOULD YOU!”
Him: “Once you go Eckhard, you don’t go back.”
Me: “homygawd /headdesk”
I won’t even recap the conversation that occurred when Beryl and Christian finally got busy. SIGH! Men are so silly. He also critiques and tells me what poses would be better and I am like SHUT UP UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO IT, OKAY?
Okay, onto the actual story. WHAT THE FUCK, AERYN? Does she think this is a game she can win? Does she not fully understand what’s she’s doing? Ugh. On the other hand, I love Chloe right now. I have a soft spot for females who will rip off the balls of men who cross them. Assert your woman self, Chloe!
Oh, man, AERYN. I can’t get over it. This is bad. And the next chapter’s title scares me a little!
Mao
June 12, 2009 at 11:09 am
“Meli-slut-sande” HA! Hysterical! And seriously, you sit there and you’re like… why did I even show this fool…
Yes, she does think she’s won a little game. And actually she kind of has. At least against Jax. But she is not considering the other players. AT ALL. And in that sense, she is losing. Hard. She’s got no clue what she’s doing, really.
Chloe is such a waif, this quiet, airy little thing. But piss her off and see what happens. In fact, between her and Jax, she is easily the more violent of the two. Jax is methodical, scheming. Chloe will just up and break your face. But she has to be pushed. This situation is totally pushing her.
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 3:53 pm
My fiance actually proof reads everything in its entirety before it sees the public. He tries to help me with grammar/etc and is also my “canon police.”
He doesn’t hesitate to tell me when something seems retarded, makes zero sense, or when I’m backpedaling on my own mythos/etc. LOL
Aeryn is going to become a loony addict. That’s what I’m most fearful of.
Mao
June 13, 2009 at 12:54 pm
He proofs?! My boy won’t even READ this story just because it’s sim-related. I used to have a friend read for me, but he’s just as idiotic. Men. I gotta get more girl friends
.
She might…. but then she might not… *smiles and shrugs*
Veron
June 13, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Heh, at least your boyfriend could be bothered to get involved for a couple minutes. I have one whose answer to similar questions are always “I don’t know.” Drives me insane. I asked him if it were a movie would it be believeable, and his reponse is that he doesn’t watch a lot of movies. I always leave the room wondering why the hell I bothered -.-
That aside, I think I missed a couple parts and am a tad confused, but woah… intense scenes! Well done
Yui
June 12, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Ha! That’s always how it ends. Why the hell did I bother? Hehe.
Yeah, I’m being a tad silly with my links. I’m about to update everything now, if you need to click backward or forward.
Thanks!
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I forgot to mention-
I don’t know what it is about that sweater but Jax looks really smexy in it.
Penelope
June 12, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Jax looks smexy in just about damn near holy frickin’ everything. I don’t even have to try. Its just like… what’s in the wardrobe. Oh yeah, that’s fine. And I don’t even think he’s terribly attractive. Sometimes I want to send Jax’s profile through a garbage disposal, but he just drips with the sex.
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 7:15 pm
He is a little funny-looking but I think that adds to the smexy.
Also, how old is he? 50? 60?
Penelope
June 13, 2009 at 11:28 am
59. They actually talk about it next update. Always one step ahead of me Pen!
Veron
June 13, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Awww…I feel bad for Layne man! What’s he gonna do when he hears about this? Seriously! He’s been having a hard enough time dealing with Aeryn! Ugh, I thought she was better than lowering herself to Jax! Blah! He’s hot but he’s not! If that makes any sense at all!
I hope Chloe rips him a new one! Mickey is going to be mad, Chauncey is going to be mad…ya know? EVERYONE is going to be mad! Not good! Not good at all!
PhoenixFG
June 12, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Yeah, Layne is gonna take this hit. But looking at it, it shouldn’t have even happened. Like, its one thing to say, oh, Chauncey left and Rowanne popped up and killed everybody. Its another to say, Chauncey left and his DAD showed up and chewed on Aeryn for a few days. Jax is just a douche. It’s all his fault, but of course, everyone is going to blame themselves.
Chloe is going to flip. Mickey is going flip. Chauncey is going to flip. EVERYONE is going to flip! HAHA!
Veron
June 12, 2009 at 9:57 pm
In a word – HOT!!! From beginning to end! All has been said and I am as scared and excited for the next chapter as everyone else! And as usual, I had to read it forward and backward up, down, left,right, and sideways to make sure I didn’t miss a thing!
The only thing I wanted to mention was that it was interesting that Aeryn offered herself the same way she saw in utter horror one of the ‘mindless drones’ do a few parts back in her first contact with Jax. She was naked and offering her wrist the same way and everything. Freaky!
Also, this time she didn’t seem so concerned that Mickey was right downstairs and could possibly hear her screaming at Jax – LOL, he told HER to lower HER voice – she is completely out of control!
Nothing like some out of control sex to really get the chaos stirred up real good! I can’t look! *peeks through fingers at the scary parts as the horrifying music builds*!
Kayvon
June 13, 2009 at 12:16 am
Kayvon! Ha! SHE TOTALLY DID OFFER HER WRIST LIKE THE ADDICT FROM THEIR FIRST ENCOUNTER! Yes, she did. And you remembered. And that’s awesome
. It just makes it that much more poignant that this is clearly the beginning of an addiction. And rationality is long gone.
Yeah, she wasn’t thinking straight. At all. Mickey is right downstairs. A few updates ago… weeks ago, I tried to prepare for this when Mickey was like “Oh sound doesn’t travel well in here,” but that’s crap. We’ll just pretend Mickey is a really heavy sleeper, and that Jax and Aeryn weren’t being too… raucus with their out of control sex XD.
You’re too funny! Thanks!
Veron
June 13, 2009 at 2:25 am
I left a comment but I guess WordPress ate it. If it didn’t and somehow goes through well sorry.
I’m distracted got a little new something that’s eating attention.
Aeryn gets my STUPID flag planted firmly on her forehead. What is going on with her? What does she think she’s going to do with Jax if she ‘gets’ him? Put him in a corner on a shelf?
And I hope Chloe follows through on her threat. “jealous wife” indeed. Asshole Jax.
Wonderful sexy update!
S.B
June 13, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Yeah, wordpress and blogger are comment eaters. No worries!
She hasn’t thought it through. The rational side of things hasn’t even entered her brain. She’s angry and lustful and angry, and Jax is just all about self-gratification. This is what he wanted from the get, so why think it through?
Chloe is a woman of her word. She’s had to be since she married a jackass.
Thanks!
Veron
June 13, 2009 at 3:36 pm
You know I should have realized that Jax got exactly what he wanted…Aeryn wanting him. And that just reinforces my comment that he KNEW what he was doing by going there and telling her he wasn’t coming back…I just hope she can step away from it now that she got busy with him…he on the other hand will be consumed. But I could be wrong.
Gayl
June 13, 2009 at 5:04 pm
You’re right. Now that I’m think about it… you’re absolutely right. I think I was trying to consider it as a “what’s the right thing to do,” but that was never even an option for him. For either of them really, because Aeryn knew better. MUCH BETTER. And even I, WHO KNOWS WHAT’S COMING, am a little bit thoughtful about this. He did get exactly what he wanted. So he must have been playing her.
But then I still feel like something way deep down in him was really trying to cut it off at the neck. But that was a really really tiny, small, itsy winsy part of him that still lets rational thought in every once in a while. I mean neither of them even TRIED to resist the other. He didn’t even TRY! But then Aeryn knew he wouldn’t try. She knew he’d give in, so it wasn’t even like she was being so naive in that sense. I mean, you can’t win something that would be handed to you on a silver platter anyway, right? But maybe in that sense, she was trying to show him exactly how weak he was. Like, even if he was genuinely trying to end it, all she has to do is show a little nipple and he’s no longer thinking with the head on his shoulders. I DON’T KNOW ANYMORE! ACK! XD
You know I see things in my brain one way, and they you guys come and put a whole new spin on it, and it becomes a new story entirely for me. I LOVE IT. It’s so fulfilling. Thank you for that.
We’ll see what happens post-coital-insanity.
Veron
June 13, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Really no one wins here and yet they both do. Aeryn was hooked, she needed it but she got it on her terms. And Jax…some part of Jax probably did want to break it off, or attempt to, if only for her to make him do it, to finish it. He could never have gone back and she may have sought him out, giving him the upper hand and the ego stroke. By going there he gets what he wants but Aeryn, as you pointed out, made him see how utterly dependent he was on her, more his need than hers. I would like to think she would have gotten over it if he had just stayed away. Or maybe not *shrug*
Either way it was a hot HOT sexy piece. And the ramifications of this are going to be far far more interesting!
Gayl
June 13, 2009 at 7:50 pm
I doubt Aeryn would have sought him out. She was still rational when he wasn’t around, so she would have just returned to equilibrium on her own. If he REALLY wanted to end it, he would have just left her alone. I’m sure of that, because its his M.O. He comes, he conquers, and then he leaves, never to be seen again. Which just adds more fuel to your statement that he knew what the balls he was doing. And now I whole heartedly agree that he had at least some subconcious knowledge of what he was doing. He had to have.
This is shocking to me, because I can’t tell if that is how I meant it when I wrote it. You have me looking for secondary meanings all over the place Gayl! Ha! XD
Veron
June 14, 2009 at 2:38 am
I think I’m starting to like Chloe, I think she’s maturing a little bit and she’s showing Jax who’s boss, lol.
It’s like she isn’t afraid of him, she’s so bad ass, LOL.
Aeryn SHOULD be ashamed of herself but it’s Jax’s fault for making her the way she is towards him. If he didn’t touch her she would’ve been completely fine.
This chapter was great, and I’m going to read the next one!
Damon
June 18, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Oh no no no, Chloe is not afraid of Jax at all. At. All. She may look like a tiny timid thing, but she’ll slap somebody up in a heartbeat. If anything, Jax is the one who watches his step around her, but then Jax is a bit of a prick. So sometimes he crosses lines that were never meant to crossed just to say that he crossed them. Case in point.
Aeryn feels like crap over this, but she kind of can’t help herself. Jax started this and jacked everything up. If only he’d leave her alone.
Veron
June 18, 2009 at 11:01 pm
oh well….
sex over reasoning… blood over reasoning… those two are practically fuck up… lol
