around, teasing the hell out of one another. Even Gage was laid back and not being a complete douche. Surprisingly, we were getting along well; somehow we had come to a ceasefire. I think Jaxon had a lot to do with the Gage’s change in attitude towards me, but I wanted to make an effort to be nicer if he was too.
    They both loved surfing and seemed to have bonded over their love of the sport. Every morning they went out before we started filming for the day. On the days Stephen could drag his lazy butt out of bed, he would join them.
    From the doorway in the kitchen I had a vantage point of most of the house. Stephen showed Amanda something on his phone and they both laughed at whatever funny video he had found. Jaxon was reading a book out by the pool, lounging in the summer heat. The sound of Gage strumming softly on his guitar came from one of the bedrooms. Looking around the house that had become our home away from home, I smiled. This place would hold great memories for us after shooting wrapped. I would be sad to finish up in a few months and have to move on from our makeshift family.
     
     

     
     
    As we walked along the edge of the water, sand went between our toes and the smell of the ocean filled our nostrils. It was as intoxicating as any of the wine we drank at dinner. Jax turned to face me as we made our way back in front of my house. I saw desire flicker in his eyes, but there was another emotion behind them I couldn’t decipher. Fear maybe?
    His hands went to my hips, and he pulled me in for a long breathtaking kiss. A soft gasp left my lips as he devoured me. This kiss was different; there was a promise of more. My fingers brushed through his shaggy blond hair. As the passion between us grew, his grip on my hips tightened.
    His arousal pressed against my stomach and a low moan slipped from my throat. I shivered as his fingers danced up my rips and his palms rubbed over my hard nipples. My fingers dug into his back and I pulled him even closer, pinning my body up against his. Jaxon’s breath was labored as he tried to reel himself back in. He broke the kiss and gently pushed me back.
    “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
    “Why the hell not?”
    “We’ve been taking things slow and I don’t want to screw that up. After we talked about our pasts, we both agreed that it would be better to wait.” He ran his fingers through his hair, tugging the tips, “If you aren’t ready, I can go, or we can watch a movie or something. God, I want you, but I will not pressure you into something you aren’t ready for.”
    Surprise. The emotion I felt was surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to offer to stop. Without a word, I pulled him back to me and sealed my lips to his again. One of his hands rested on the small of my back while the other wound its way into my long chestnut hair. I gripped his shoulders and tipped my head back to give him access to my throat. His tongue travelled the column of my neck and my body shivered in response.
    “Jax, let’s go inside.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Positive.”
    I took his hand and led him through the house to my bedroom. As soon as the lock clicked into place, my back was against the door. His large hands picked me up and pinned me between the door and his hard body. My teeth nipped at his neck and his low growl filled the room. I wanted him inside me.
    He lowered me so I stood in front of him, but pulled me to his chest as he walked us back towards the bed. I pushed him down and climbed on top of him, straddling his hips pinning him between my thighs. Jax gripped the back of my shirt as he pulled it over my head. He paused with it halfway up, not wanting to break our kiss; his grip tightened against my shirt as he tried to restrain himself.
    I rocked my hips against his, sending a jolt of pleasure through my center. Jaxon tugged my shirt over my head, his lips nipping at my skin at it was exposed. Tugging his head to mine I captured his mouth, swirling my
