The Salvation Knights MC Jinx's Mistake (by KJ) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Texting Goodnight

Deidra’s P.O.V.

Clan

This is ridiculous. How could he just leave like that after everything? I mean, obviously he has a son

to worry about, but goddamn!

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this horny in my life. Is this why so many girls talk about the MC? Is this what they do? Build up the anticipation and leave you wet and wanting more?

No, I’m being ridiculous. It was just bad timing on our part. We were getting carried away. Jinx was

just trying to coax me into spending Christmas with them. Which I was going to do anyway, but it

totally worked on me staying the night on Christmas Eve.

My face flamed just at the thought. Me and Brixton sleeping in his bed? Together? All night? Are

we going to… have se.x?

There was the promise he still had to keep, but was spending the night a promise for more than that? Oh my god, should I like… wear something sexy? I didn’t bring any lingerie or anything like that… Should I go buy some?

Oh my god! I need to get gifts! I can’t be a part of their Christmas and not have gifts! Even if it is last–minute sh.it. I’m sure they’ll understand. But I cannot turn up empty–handed.

Would it be rude of me to ask Jinx to take me to town tomorrow alone? I don’t want to exclude Waylen, but I’ll need to get him something too. But what about Jinx? What am I supposed to get him?

I chewed on my bottom lip as an idea came to mind. There was something that we saw yesterday while shopping around together. I noticed his eyes linger on it for a little longer. It was kind of expensive… I wonder if it would be too much…

I locked the front door and peeked out the window just catching Jinx going inside. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time. Jesus, its a lot later than I thought. Why do I always lose track of time when I’m with Brixton?

I shook my head and sent a text out to Emma.

Me: Hey, are you awake?

Her reply was almost instant.

Emma: Only been waiting to hear from you! How was today??

I decided to just call her instead of replying.

“Hey,” she said quietly. “Sorry, Dale’s sleeping in the other room. He’s a light sleeper.”

“Oh, cr.ap, I should have asked,” I rushed out. “Should we go back to texting?”

“No, no, it’s fine,” she replied. “I want to know everything.”

“Okay, well, the day was good,” I said as I walked to my bedroom. “Really good. Shoulda seen his

face when he found out I could ski,” I said with a snort. “I had fun with the kids and then Jinx and I

went inside and spent a while talking. It was nice.”

“No drama? No hot moments?” She asked impatiently.

I rolled my eyes.

“There was a girl who literally pushed me out of the way to get to him, but I took care of it quickly,” I

told her. “And… things may have gotten really heated, but Waylen interrupted us.”

“Oh, darn,” she mumbled, making me shake my head.

“His mom asked me to spend Christmas with them so… I’m doing that,” I said. “I was actually hoping I could ask you for a favor…”

“Oh, girl, anything,” she replied immediately.

“I need you to pick up his gift,” I told her. “I’ll give you my card. Trust me, it’s pricey, but I have very specific instructions for the customization.”

Emma squealed quietly, making me laugh.

“Okay, okay, let me get a pen and paper,” she said.

I spent a little bit of time talking to Emma about what I wanted. We chatted, going over the details as I took my makeup off and got ready for bed. I think that Emma may have been a little more excited than I was. I even told her about my plans to shop tomorrow and about Christmas Eve. She thinks that I should shop for something se.xy to wear, but I don’t know if I will. I’ve never been good at that kind of stuff.

Once we were off the phone, I snuggled under the covers and grabbed my charger. When my phone lit up after being plugged in, I noticed I had a few texts. Some of them were from an unknown number.

UN: Unblock me so we can talk about things like adults Deidra!

UN: You’re being ridiculous!

UN: I swear if you’re not back by the new year, I will come find you! You have to be at my wedding! And don’t think canceling the venue did anything! We’re still getting married!

Jesus Christ! Sophie is insane. Why can’t she just leave me alone? Am I going to have to change my number?

I blocked that number too, before checking my other message it was from Jim. A text and a picture. The picture was of Waylen asleep in his bed. It was actually of both of them Wayen was on his side with his head on his dad’s bare arm, drooling on him. Jinx was on his back, one arm around his son and the other taking the photo. He was smilling, a big smile. And he was stirless

I’m pretty sure I fu.cking drooled too. Holy hell. I knew that Jinx was ripped under his clothes but I’d never seen it before. My god, he must go to the gym a lot. How many abs is that? St? Eight?

I can even make out that toned V that guys have. His pajama pants are hanging so low.. How the hell is it fair to be that damn attractive?

Jinx: Told you he’d be asleep when I got back

That was sent with the picture, but there were a couple of other texts too.

Jinx: Had to take a cold shower as soon as I got back. Did nothing to put out the fire you started in me Lotus.

I gulped reading that one, heat pooling in my lower belly.

Jinx: Did you fall asleep already, Rose? Sweet dreams, Bluebell.

That one made me smile.

I hope he’s still awake. I doubt I’ll be able to sleep anytime soon anyway.

Me: Sorry, called Emma as soon as you left. Glad to know that Waylen is okay.

Jinx’s reply was almost instant, making me feel giddy.

Jinx: Should have figured that. Thanks for caring so much about my son. It means a lot to me, Daisy.

Me: He’s a really good kid. It’s easy to care about him.

Jinx: And what about me? I did create him. Doesn’t that earn me something?

I snorted as I read his message.

Me: Something like what? Me caring about you too?

I added a laughing–crying emoji. I wasn’t sure what expected him to say back. I tried telling myself that this is how I would normally act with him. I wasn’t fishing for anything.

Jinx: I’d love to be the kind of man you found easy to care about, Wisteria.

Heat that felt different than the normal lust I was starting to get used to filled me. From the tips of my ears down to the bottoms of my toes. I wasn’t sure why. It just… warmed me in ways and made me feel guilty in others.

Me: Whoever said I didn’t care?

Chapter 37 Texting Goodnight

Jinx: And here I thought I annoyed you to no end.

Me: Oh, you do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care.

He sent back a row of laughing–crying emojis before his next text came through.

Jinx: I guess that makes this challenge easier for me.

Me: What challenge are you even talking about?

Jinx: You.

Me? What the heck does that mean?

Jinx: Instead of overthinking it, like I know you are. How about you just tell me truthfully… did you get all hot and bothered over my pic? Hot dad thing really works for me, I think.

I snorted at that message, briefly wondering how Jinx knows me so well.

Me: Kinda hard to tell… I was hot and bothered before I saw it. And I gotta agree… the whole “daddy” thing really works for you, Brixton.

Jinx: You’re going to make me cover there. I told you not to use that word on me until you were

absolutely positive you were prepared.

Me: I didn’t use it on you. I just… agreed with you.

Jinx: Such a tease.

Me: Says the guy who’s left me soaking wet all day!

Jinx: You’re killing me.

Me: Good, we can be frustrated together.

Jinx: Just until I keep my promise.

Me: Which reminds me… do you guys have plans tomorrow?

Jinx: Not sure, but you can still come over.

Me: Well, actually, I was wondering if you and I could go into town. I need to get your family Christmas gifts. And don’t you dare argue, or I swear I won’t come.

Jinx: Fine, fine. I’ll ask if Ma can keep an eye on Waylen for a few hours. Wanna do lunch? I can

take you out. You know my mom’s gonna want you over for dinner.

I smiled, my heart–warming as I snuggled under the blankets.

Me: Sounds perfect.

Jinx: I’ll be there at 12 to get you?

Me: Okay (:

I thought that would be the end of our conversation. I stared at the chat for a moment, trying to think of something to say to keep it going. I felt like a little girl talking to her first crush. Just when I

was about to give up, Jinx sent another text.

Jinx: I had the best time today. You surprised me. didn’t want you to go. And not just because I

was about to have my hand in your pants either.

I snorted out loud at that.

Me: I had a really good time too. I didn’t want to go either…

Jinx: Christmas Eve can’t come fast enough.

Me: You’re impatient.

Jinx: To have you wrapped in my arms all night and wake up to your beautiful face on Christmas

morning? Hell yeah I’m impatient.

I

How the hell am I supposed to keep my feelings in check when he says stuff like that?
