The Almost One Night Stand

Chapter 10

Nimue's POV

When I hung up the phone I felt like I was free-falling. "Jax!" I cried out, flinging open the balcony door, and slid to the floor.

"Ni," he yelled as he appeared on my balcony and quickly scooped me up. "Oh, baby, what's wrong?" He rocked me in his arms, stroking my hair as I sobbed.

When I finally managed to get my breath, I sniffled, "Something is happening. Luke knows the doctor that saved me. He's his boss at the Academy, Jax. That means the Academy knew about my parents being murdered. What if Luke already knows about me without realizing it?" I was starting to panic when Jax slapped my cheek.

"Dammit, woman, I'm the hysterical one, remember? You have to stay level-headed and calm so that I can panic and come up with conspiracy theories." He huffed and rolled his eyes. "I'm the over-dramatic one in this relationship and you're the calm and collected one. Now, are you sure the Academy even knows who you and your family really are, or could they just have been investigating a suspicious accident?"

I rubbed my cheek, "I guess they could just have been investigating. Should I tell my aunt?"

"Oh fuck no! You really want that crazy bitch involved in anything to do with Luke?" He looked at me like I had two heads. "You keep her as little informed as possible and pray for an early death for that harpy."

"Jax," I chided him, "She's family."

"No, Ni, she's a parasite who very well may have had a hand in your parent's deaths. You've stayed out of her way, so you've been safe. I worry what will happen if you are ever called on." His forehead was creased with worry as he clung to me still. "Okay, enough depressing stuff. I'm not wasting this spell, let's binge on ice cream and sappy movies until we pass out," he grinned.

I giggled as he helped me up. "Sounds good, just give me a minute to send an email to Luke. He's having a couple of friends look over my contract. The manager today tried telling me I was a glorified secretary, not a therapist. It is definitely not what I signed up for." I explained as I sent the email.

"You get 'em, girl," he laughed. "So, speaking of Luke, how goes the long-distance love affair?"

I blushed, "We had video sex this morning and his ex-lover, Gabe heard us through the door. I was mortified."

"Oh sweet lilies, I don't know where to start first, with the video sex or the fact that your boy is bi." I couldn't help but laugh at his expression as I pulled out two cartons of ice cream and settled on the couch next to him. "Does it bother you that he's been with men?"

I shook my head, tapping the spoon to my lips, "No, why should it? Love is love. He's also been in a poly relationship with one girl and all eight of his family members. He calls them his brothers, but only North is really his half-brother. The others are his Academy family and team."

Jax choked on his ice cream, "Damn girl, you really pick the unique ones, don't you? Now, dish on the video sex. Your boy needs details." He nudged my shoulder.

****

We stayed up most of the night gossiping and watching movies. The ice cream ran out and we turned to wine. That was a mistake on my part because Jax can't get drunk, but he sure as hell likes watching me get drunk. I may have sent several sexy photos to Luke at random hours of the night before passing out.

Slightly Mature Content Warning:

I woke up holding my head, my phone vibrating on the dresser until it fell to the floor. "Hello," I groaned.

"Well hello little one, how's your head this morning," Luke asked loudly and in a way to chipper tone.

"Ugh, I'm dying," I groaned as he laughed at me.

"Why are you talking at this hour?" Jax yelled, throwing a pillow at me. "Go the fuck to sleep, Ni!"

"Shut up, Jax, I'm dying and it's your fault you stupid ass," I growled, as Luke continued to laugh in my ear.

"Little one, I'm curious about the um, lovely pictures I received while having dinner with my family."

Oh, shite. "Uhh, well, maybe I should preface this conversation with the fact that there was crying, ice cream, sappy movies, and wine involved," I said shyly.

"Well first, why were you crying?" Luke asked.

"Just everything yesterday was too much, so I asked Jax to come over. He suggested the movies and ice cream, but then we ran out of ice cream. I really should know better than to drink with him. I swear the damn fool literally cannot get drunk," I grumbled.

Before I could say anything else, Jax grabbed the phone, "Hey Luke, I'm Jax, the best friend. Our girl here was bawling about work, dead parents, and getting caught having video sex with you. Congrats on canceling her v-card by the way." I could hear Luke laughing on the other end and responding but I couldn't make out what he was saying. "Yeah, I kept her in all night. Neither of us left. Ni should never be let loose when drinking. The girl is like a newborn doe in the wild world," he chuckled. "Yep, I was the photographer, but no worries. Unless she sprouts a penis, I have no interest in her that way. Yep, good talk. Here she is," he said, handing me the phone and sticking out his tongue.

"Luke?"

"Oh little one, I think I'm tempted to spank your ass red when I get there," he growled.

I gulped, "W, why?"

"You should have called me. I mean it, Nimue, I don't care how early or late it is, I'll answer. Although, those pictures did make it very difficult to keep my focus on Uncle and the guys. I really want to rip that little school girl outfit off of you," he growled and my panties were instantly wet. I whimpered. "You're turned on, aren't you?"

"Yes," I said softly.

"Jax is in the room isn't he?"

"Yes."

Luke gave a mischievous laugh, "Good. Now you can suffer a bit like I did getting all of those naughty pictures. Close your eyes, little one. Imagine my tongue running over those wet panties, my fingers pinching your hard nipples." I whimpered again, burying my mouth in the pillow, trying to lay still. "Do you want to cum, Nimue?" Luke asked in a husky tone.

"Uh-huh," I mumbled.

"Good. Now, take some aspirin, drink lots of water and I'll call you after Owen has reviewed that contract," he said.

"But," I whined.

"Oh love, if I can't punish you in person, then this will have to suffice," he chuckled. "Be a good girl and don't touch yourself today. I promise I'll make you scream my name later when we video chat."

I huffed and responded sarcastically, "Yes sir." only to hear him groan.

"Little one, you have no idea what that response does to me." He let out a ragged breath, "I love you, Nimue. I'll talk to you again soon."

"I love you too, Luke. Goodbye." I hung up the phone and screamed into the pillow.

Jax threw another pillow at me and laughed, "Welcome to edging, Ni." I flipped him off and buried my head under the pillows.
