Chapter 237: Emotional Reset, Part 1

When Jax dropped me off at his house, it was well after midnight. I'd texted Whitney to let her know I was almost there, and she told me to come in. Just walking into their house, though, was weird, especially when Jax was leaving to go back to the lodge.

"Thanks for tonight," I said. "I had fun."

"I'm glad," Jax said. "Are you sure I can't talk you into coming back to the lodge with me?"

My heart raced, and my skin prickled. He'd mentioned that on the drive home, but I'd laughed it off, thinking he was joking or trying to get a reaction from me. Now I realized he'd been serious.

I couldn't figure out what his motives were for asking. Did he want to bite me again? Was he hoping I'd have sex with him? Or was he just desperate to stop me from sleeping in the same house with Trent?

"I don't think that's a good idea," I said softly.

He nodded, but his expression was full of disappointment.
