Chapter 27: Sealing the Deal
Deidra’s P.O.V.
+25 Points
I was nothing but a huge ball of nerves when I showed up at the large cabin. I tried my best to act normal, to act like what I was wearing was totally every day for me. We all knew it wasn’t. Jinx definitely knew it wasn’t. The way his eyes kept glancing down at my body told me enough. Yet, he
said I looked fine. He made me feel like it was an honor to have me dress up for them.
When I was just trying to make a good impression, Jinx made me feel like I was a damn gift.
The only reason I dressed up this much in the first place was for Jinx. Because I had a plan. Well, Emma had a plan. We had a plan? God, I don’t even know anymore.
It all sounded good in theory. Emma has a way with words, I tell you. She totally convinced me that
this was all a good idea. Dressing up for Jinx, telling him yes to this silly idea, all the demands I had
lined up… It was going to be great. I was going to blow Jinx’s mind. At least, that’s what Emma
said.
Now we’ll never know. At least not how Jinx would react to my demands. Because I didn’t give all
of them. I only gave the most basic one. The one that Emma and I didn’t even talk about. I was glad I said it though, because the last thing I wanted was to think that Jinx and I might have some sort of tension between us all for him to be banging some hoe in the bathroom while I’m with his
son. I’d never get over the humiliation.
The other things though… the things I wouldn’t say to Jinx… those demands were the ones Emma went over with me several times. We prepped. We talked. She even pep–talked me until I was feeling more confident than I ever have in my life. And I still fu.cking chickened out.
In my defense, how could I look Jinx in the eyes and tell him that I wanted to pretend that this was real too? Just during the vacation. We didn’t have to be all lovey–dovey or anything, but… I wanted to demand that he treat me like a real ol‘ lady. I wanted to hold hands, not spend Christmas alone, kiss again, and… f***k I wanted more. Especially after that kiss.
I wanted to tell Jinx all of that. I had rehearsed it with Emma. How I was going to demand that I get all the benefits of being with a Jinx without actually being with him. I didn’t care about a property cut or pillow talk or anything romantic at all. My mind was in the gutter. All I had on the brain was se.x. Steamy, hot, dirty, rough se.x with a certain biker.
I blame that damn kiss. And everyone else always saying sh.it about me and Jinx having se.xual tension. But that kiss… God, just remembering it made my toes curl.
Even though I chickened out on saying my demands, I still said yes to Waylen’s little trick. And when Jinx practically demanded that we seal it with a kiss… how could I say no?

Chapter 27 Sealing the Deal
Well, I didn’t.
I pulled Jinx in, smashing our lips together. I was so nervous that I was trembling. I thought this
was the right move since Jinx said he wanted it. Now I kind of wonder if he was just messing with
me, seeing if I’d really do it. Because he’s not moving. I’m not moving. Oh my god, this was an
awful idea. I’m such a mor.on. I shouldn’t-
Every thought ceased the moment Jinx’s hand cupped the side of my face. His lips finally moved against mine. It was slow at first. My body finally started to relax as I lost myself in the feeling of his lips. All I could focus on was the feeling. The butterflies in my belly from the kiss, Jinx’s soft
lips, his hand on my face and the other resting on my hip. My hands were still gripping his shirt, but
I finally let go. I slide my hands up to wrap around his neck.
My fingers had a mind of their own, sliding into his golden blonde hair and pulling the hair–tie out. I
had no idea why I did that. Probably because I secretly always wanted to run my fingers through
his hair. Or maybe I’ve just always wanted to rip it out, because before I realized it, I was tugging on
his silky strands. And that apparently was the right thing to do.
A
The se.xiest noise I’ve ever heard in my life rumbled from somewhere deep in Jinx’s chest. His
hand that was holding my cheek moved to the back of my neck. Where he gripped me, forcing my
head back. His other hand moved to the small of my back as he pressed his body against mine, pinning me to the back of his bedroom door. Jinx’s tongue swiped across my bottom lip. Before I
could open my mouth for him, he sucked in my bottom lip and bit down.
My eyes rolled all the way back as a deep and desperate–sounding moan escaped me. It had my eyes snapping open just as Jinx let go of my lip. My face flamed, but all he did was smirk at me
before capturing my lips again. This time, there was nothing slow or sweet between us.
Jinx still had me pinned to the door. His hand that was on the small of my back moved lower until
he was gripping a handful of my a.ss. It made me gasp in a breathy kind of way. Which Jinx
seemed to love. He gripped me tighter, holding me to him. His hand on my neck moved to my hair,
tugging the same way that I was with him. No one had ever done that to me before. Honestly,
Theo was kind of vanilla. I never minded since he was the only person I had been with, and I thought I loved him.
However, when Jinx tugged just the right spot, it sent a jolt of lust rushing through me so hard that another moan slipped out. Jinx ate it up, and I… became more eager. I practically tried to climb the
man, I was clinging to him so hard. Our tongues battled for dominance. Our lips refused to part. We were tugging, pulling, gripping each other.
Holy sh.it, is this a biker thing? Are they all this skilled? Or was Theo just bad at this? Because oh
my god, wow. I would choose to continue kissing Jinx over air.
Something suddenly started to buzz in the room. It was like fuzzy background noise. Jinx didn’t
seem to notice at first, so when it stopped, I pretended I never heard it. But then it started again.

And again. Finally, unfortunately, very reluctantly, Jinx pulled his lips from mine.

For a moment, even with the buzzing in the background, we just stared at each other. Jinx’s hair was a mess from me pulling on it. His lips were red and swollen, and f***k if that didn’t excite me in ways I’ve never felt before. The look in his blue–green eyes was what stole my breath though. I wasn’t sure what that look was exactly, but I could see the desire in them. They were darker than I’ve ever seen before. Heated from the moment we just shared.
For a second there, I really thought we were going to fall back into another kiss. I wanted it. I mean, his hands were still all over me. I didn’t want to stop in the first place. But then that buzzing sounded again, breaking whatever moment we were having. I realized finally that it was my phone in the pocket of my dress. I didn’t even feel it until now.
“Oh, uh,” I stammered as I grabbed my phone from my pocket. “It’s Emma.”
“Who’se Emma?” Jinx asked, his hands still on me.
“Her and her husband own this place,” I told him.
“Did you guys meet here before?” he asked.
“Uhm, no we just, uh, met when I got here,” I replied stammering over my words.
Jinx furrowed his brow.
“You made friends with someone you just met?” he asked, sounding surprised.
A small smile touched my lips as my phone stopped ringing.
“Yeah, I did,” I said, looking at him, my smile growing. “Kinda crazy for me, right? Emma and Dale are so nice. I never thought I’d be able to have another friend again. Not after what Sophie did.”
“Sophie sucks,” he stated. “She was never a good friend. There are other people out there though worthy of your friendship, Thorn.”
I chewed on my bottom lip as I stared up at him. I wasn’t sure how to respond to that. I mean, obviously he was right because, ya know, Emma. But it was more than just that. It was the fact that Jinx was surprised I had made a friend, the fact that he looked genuinely happy for me. Like he knows me more than either of us even realizes it.
We were getting caught up in another moment. Jinx’s hand that was buried in my hair moved to my cheek. He pulled back enough to gently run his fingertips across my jaw and my cheek. He pulled my bottom lip from my teeth with his thumb. My face heated as he stared at my mouth, his thumb pressing down in the middle of my bottom lip.
Just when he started to lean down, my phone started ringing again. We both jumped, this time breaking apart like a couple of teenagers. I looked at Jinx as he ran a hand through his hair. His shirt lifted enough for me to his chiseled abdomen that se.xy V that men have leading inside their

pants, and a trail of hair from his belly button, disappearing under his jeans. My mouth went dry,
and I turned around, giving him my back.
