CHAPTER 4

JAX POV

I wake up and feel a light weight ontop of me. My eyes flutter open and I see Luna laying half on my body. Her one leg is draped over my waist and her head is on my chest. She looks so beautiful and peaceful. Her dark brown hair is spread wildly across my chest and her lips are slightly parted.

My head is throbbing from the amount of alcohol I consumed last night. I look at the beautiful girl that is in my bed and wonder what could have happend last night for her to be in here. I lift the sheets off her, so I can move her and get out of bed when I see that she is completely naked. My eyes wonder around the room and I see our clothes thrown all over. What the hell? Did we have sex last night?

I gently push her off me to make sure she doesn't wake up. She groans slightly and lifts her head up only to turn it and drop it on the pillow. I let out a sigh of relieve and head to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror I see my hair is all over the place. My eyes are still red from the alcohol and I guess the lack of sleep.

I quickly and quietly take a shower and get dressed. By the time I am finished, Luna is still asleep, so I leave her and head downstairs to open the store. It's already 8.30 and I usually open at 7. So I'm pretty late today. My thoughts are all over the place. From my conversation with one of the bosses last night, to the drinking until I couldn't remember anything and then to Luna and finding her in my bed.

When I look up at the clock it is already 10.30 and Luna still hasn't made an appearance. I didn't go up to check on her because it might be weird. Since I obviously don't remember anything and she most probably remembers every detail. Honestly I feel bad for not remembering what happened, but I'll just blame it on the alcohol. Maybe we didn't have sex, maybe I just went down on her and that's why she is naked.

The bell above the door dings and rescues me from my thoughts. A man with a long black trench coat and hat walks in and nods. "Is there anything I can help you with today sir?", I ask with as much energy as I can muster.

"Do you know a women named Luna Chavéz?", he asks in a low husky tone.

What does he want with Luna? How does he know Luna? Who is this man?.

I don't know why, but the sudden need to protect her surfaces and I say, "No, not at all". I look at him as his blue-gray eyes stare past me at the stairs that laid to my apartment. I hope Luna doesn't decide to come down here any second, because this man looks like he's ready to murder.

"Are you sure?", he suddenly asks "Because my sources say she has come here a lot in the past. And that she came here about 2 weeks ago."

I look at him for a second, what sources, I wonder.  "There are a lot of people that come here during the day, so I can't pin point one customer on just a name."

He removes a paper from his pocket and hands it to me. I look at it, only to see Luna stare back at me. Who is this man?

"Oh, I have seen her here a couple of times. And the last time I saw here was 2 weeks ago. Any way, who are you and why are you looking for her."

"I am Xavier Renault, perhaps you've heard of me, in your line of business and why I am looking for her has nothing to do with you." Testy much. Xavier? Why does that sound so famil- ohh shit. The leader of most of the gangs in the country? Why does he want Luna? Wait, is he Luna's fiance? Oh double shit. Fuck!! Why did she have to come to me after she ran?

" My line of business? I don't think I understand Xavier. How am I supposed to know who you are by owning a book store?" I say cockily

"Don't get smart with me. I have been patient this long. Now tell me where the fuck is Luna?" I can tell he is getting angry but I don't care. I just want to protect Luna from this man. From what I've heard about him, the youngest billionaire in the world, and the most ruthless killer, I don't want Luna near him.

" Listen hear. You came in here wanting to know where she is, I told you that I hadn't seen her in 2 weeks. What the fuck do you want? For me to magically conjure her?"

He let's out a chuckle and just turns around. He walks to the door and stops right before he opens it. He looks over his shoulder and says, " If you want to keep this shitty store of yours and your life, you better tell my fiance to come back to me. And she better be back by the end of the month or both of you die."

And with that he opens the door and walks towards his Porsche parked infront of the store.

Oh fuck, oh fuck, what am I going to do? Heading towards the stairs, I walk up and head into the apartment. Luna is on the couch with heads phones on and a book on her lap. Completely oblivious to me coming in. I go sit next to her on the couch and tap her shoulder. She let's out a startled scream and throws her book on the floor. She turns around and sees that it's me and visibly calms down. I let out a hearty laugh, which earns me a slap on the back of the head. "Ow", I exclaim as she removes the headphones "What was that for?".

She looks at my hand rubbing my head and laughs "That was for scaring me and then laughing about it, idiota"

I look at her serious expression and burst out in a laugh again. She stares at me and then starts laughing too. Damn she's cute when she tries to act mad. No Jax, don't think about that, her fiance may kill you.

"Hey Luna, I have a question for you"

She halts her laughter and looks at me with curiosity etched on her face. "Is the question about last night?" Oh shit. I was so focused on what happened with Xavier, that I forgot about that.

"Eh, No it's about something else." Disappointed crosses her face for a second before she shakes her head. "So your fiance, is it Xavier Renaults?"

Her face falls and her eyes scan my face before she sighs and gulps. "How do you know him?"

Well here goes nothing. "He was here about 10 minutes ago asking about you. He asked if I've seen you and I said no. I don't know why I lied but I did. He looks like an intimidating man though. He gave me a message for you."

"What message?" She looks conflicted right now.

"He said that you should come back to him before the month ends, or we both lose our lives"
