Jack.”
    “Jealous?” I spit.
    He pinches my cheek. “Maybe I am. Race you.”
    He turns and flees, laughing; I chase after him. I leap onto his back, wrapping my legs around his waist. Oh this feels good, so good. So there we are, Jax giving me a piggy back while still running. I hadn't slowed him, not even slightly.
    “You gotta toss me soon Watts, not even you are that good.”
    He laughs. “Your bony ass, pfffft.”
    “Hey, it ’ s not bony!”
    “No, it’s squeezable.”
    I shove my knees into his sides by tightening them. He slaps my leg, giving me a little jolt that goes right to my core. I whimper.
    “Like that did you?” He asks, still running.
    “No.”
    “Did so. Changed your mind about being spanked, pretty girl?”
    “I wouldn’t know, I haven't had much in the last five years.”
    He tosses me then, shoving me off his back. I land in the sand with a thump and lose my breath.
    “OW!” I cry.
    He drops over me, his body flattening mine into the sand. I gasp, oh my he feels good.
    “Careful, you are giving me a challenge.”
    “How?” I say, in a squeaky little voice.
    “Talking about fucking, stop it.”
    “Go home and get some pirate, not like you can’t.”
    His eyes blaze. “Yeah, but I can’t get it with…” his eyes trail over my body. “You.”
    “You don’t want it with me.”
    “Don’t I?” He growls.
    “No, you don’t. You think you do, it ’ s just an oversized ego thing. Jack had me last night, so you want me now, if he didn’t take me, you would not want to.”
    “Is that what you think?”
    “Yes, it is. You moved on Jax; you said so yourself. If you wanted me, you would have found me five years ago. You didn’t. And don’t tell me you could not find me, you are a pirate.”
    He narrows his eyes. “You really believe I left and stopped giving a fuck?”
    “Yes, I really do.”
    He stands, turns to the side and lifts his arm. I gasp, tattooed in large letters down the side of his body is my name. I sit there, mouth agape. My name is tattooed on him? MY name? No wonder he looked so shocked when he saw I had his name tattooed on me.
    “W-w-w-when did you get that?”
    “A year ago.”
    “But…you were with Sammy then.”
    He sits on the sand. “Yeah, I was.”
    “Why…why then?”
    “You changed me Jade, I never stopped thinking about you.”
    “You didn’t?”
    “No, and if you think I didn’t look for you, your wrong. I searched for years; I honestly couldn’t get a lead on you.”
    “Oh. Why are you with Sammy then?”
    He rubs his head. “I told you, she works with me. She is just easy, no big clingy attachment. She is easy going about sex, and me being with other women. I don’t care about her sharing; it just works.”
    “Right,” I say, in a small voice. “I was too possessive right?”
    “You were, but I loved that with you. With her, it’s good to have the freedom.”
    “Do you love her Jax?”
    “In a sense, yeah.”
    “The way you loved me?” I croak.
    “No. I will never love another the way I loved you.”
    “Then why won’t you be with me again?”
    He gives a pained sigh. “I told you, I won’t hurt you again. Ever. End of story.”
    “So that’s it? You won’t even try?”
    “I tried enough times. Move on Jade, you deserve to be adored.”
    “I don’t want to move on.” I whisper.
    “You have to.” He snaps.
    “What if I say no?”
    His eyes grow stern. “Don’t, don’t say no. Just listen to me for once. Don’t chase me, or beg me and force me back with you. I will hurt you. I won’t hurt Sammy, because she doesn't love me the way you did.”
    “Just say it, say that I am not good enough instead of pretending that I matter!” I spit, tears flowing down my cheeks. “I am tough Jax, tougher than you could possibly think. You left me alone, to raise a child with a broken heart, and I DID. Don’t you tell me I cannot handle you, I have handled you for over seven fucking years pirate, and you have not
