silver fox confidence. Eyeing me as I run my fingers through my hair. I try
to look casual but probably look anything but. Cue deflection to humour.
     
    “Although, I’m not sure he could ever be
accused of being decent.”
     
    I nod my head towards Jax and grin widely, a
little too widely. His gaze drifts to Jax with an amused curiosity.
     
    “You know Bethany, the more you speak, the more
I like you.”
     
    I smile and lean over to fetch Jax’s water. Orgasms
make me thirsty and I know my cheeks are flushed. Jax pipes up then.
     
    “Funnily enough Jack, the less you speak, the
more I seem to like you.”
     
    Jack directs his body towards me from the foot
of the bed.
     
    “Do you see what I’ve had to put up with here
Bethany?” I smirk whilst sipping on the straw. “This man has no appreciation
for quality company... And on that note Bethany, please say you’re going to
relieve me?”
     
    I splutter water all over Jax’s chest and cough. Fuckity, fuck, fuck .
     
    “Oh God. I’m sorry.”
     
    Jax has raised his hands at the shock of the
impromptu cold shower. I can see by Jacks reaction that what he said wasn’t
intended to come across the way I misinterpreted it. Jack still finds it
hilarious but I just squint my eyes at him and shake my head.
     
    If Jax wasn’t at risk of bursting his stitches,
I think he’d be joining Jack in laughing his head off too.
     
    “Yeah, really amusing guys—not!”
     
    Wiping my face on my sleeve, I jump up and head
to the bathroom, nudging Jack as I walk by. I grab a fresh hand towel and go
back to Jax.
     
    “Hey sweetheart, don’t blame me if your filthy
mind is still in the gutter.”
     
    I ignore his emphasis of the word ‘still’ and
dab the towel across Jax’s chest to soak up the droplets. I see that boyish
grin again. Then I notice small suction marks dotted on his pecs and up to his
neck, my eyes widen. Whoops. Jack has got to have noticed, he’s standing
directly opposite him. I don’t even think Jax has seen them.
     
    If I wasn’t flushed before, I’m definitely
blushing now. Actually, I think I’m more proud than embarrassed— God, am I
fangirling over giving Jax lovebites?
     
    “Okay, let me rephrase; Are you going to stay
here and takeover babysitting duties so I can go home to my wifey?”
     
    Wait, what? Is he serious? Did Jax suggest
this? I freeze, open my mouth to speak and then close it again, lost for words.
Jax responds on my behalf.
     
    “Jack, she’s not staying and you don’t have to
either. You go home to Pam and her five sisters. I’ll be just fine.”
     
    “I’ll have you know they’re Pam’s cousins
actually. I’m not into incest and cousins are legal.”
     
    Is he for real? That sounds gross. I’m keeping
quiet.
     
    “Man, you are so sad… Anyway, I guess you’ll just
need to swing by a few times to redress—”
     
    “—Ssshh.” Jack whispers loudly to Jax from
behind the back of his hand humorously. “I thought we’d agreed not to speak of
that again? Remember, what happens with Doctor Jack stays with the Doctor
Jack…”
     
    “—my bandages, redress my bandages, dumbass.”
Jax takes the towel from me and throws it at Jack, who steps out the way. “You
know, considering you’re a lot older than us, you’re actually very
childish. You and Pam need to get out more.”
     
    “Fine. I’ll stay one more night and then check
in with you daily. I’ve just set up your replacement phone too, it’s on charge
in the kitchen. So you’ll have no excuses not to check in with me when I’m done
here.”
     
    I’ve kept quiet until now, enjoying the effortless
banter between them.
     
    “I’ll visit too, of course, if you’d like.”
     
    Jack hands Jax the small plastic cup he’s been
holding along with a fresh glass of water. The cup rattles with pills which Jax
throws back into his mouth, taking a swig of water to rinse them down.
     
    “That would be great Bethany. I’m sure you have
a
