hung dotingly on her every word.
Jax gritted his teeth in aggravation. He hated that he was jealous of his own best friend, but when it came to Amaranth, all bets were off.
"Come on," he said to her, leading her over to a booth and watching as she slid in, her short skirt hiking up around the tops of her thighs, causing Jax to remember that she wore nothing beneath.
His cock began to harden again, and he groaned, sliding into the booth opposite her, adjusting his dick in his jeans.
Amaranth smiled at him and sunk lower in her chair.
"What are you doing?" he asked, uneasily.
Amaranth said nothing, but that wicked smile stayed on her face, and a few seconds later he jumped as he felt her foot brush against the seam of his jeans, causing his cock to twitch.
"Amaranth," he warned in a low voice. "Don't start a game that you can't win."
Still she said nothing.
He closed his eyes and gripped the edge of the table as she moved her toes around his cock, rubbing him through his jeans.
She was a witch, and she had him under her spell. He was helpless to stop her.
"Here you go," the young blonde waitress said as she placed their plates of burgers and fries on the table. "Would you like something else?" she asked, leaning forward and giving Jax an eyeful of her cleavage.
Unfortunately though, he was otherwise occupied, and unable to focus on anything but Amaranth's toes.
"Cock," he choked out, immediately regretting it when Amaranth's eyebrows shot up in amusement.
"Coke," he corrected as he struggled to sit up straight, putting his hand beneath the table to remove her foot from his crotch. "Please."
"Coming right up," the blonde said with a wink and she turned and walked away, a suggestive wiggle to her hips.
Jax sighed and slumped forward, resting his arms on the table.
Amaranth grinned at him. "Are you okay?" she asked wickedly.
"I'm okay," he said, sitting back up straight and giving her a hard look. "But I can't say the same for your ass when we get back on that bus."
Amaranth paled slightly, but he didn't let that deter him.
Jax picked up a single French fry and bit the end of it as he stared at her thoughtfully. Amaranth was an enigma. A puzzle that he just had to solve. She hadn't let him make her cum either time he'd tried.
Jax wasn't a vain person, but he knew that he was good with his hands. It just didn't make sense.
The waitress brought their drinks but he ignored her flirtatious smiles, his attention solely on Amaranth.
"Hey guys," Tessa said as she slid in next to Jax at the booth. He saw Amaranth roll her eyes as she took a mouthful of her coke, and he had to suppress a grin. Clearly, these two women weren't going to get along.
"Hey Tess," he nodded as she flashed him a dimpled smile. "What's going on?"
"Toby says we need to be back on the road in five minutes," she paused and looked Amaranth up and down. "I see my clothes fit."
"Yes," Amaranth replied. "Thank you for lending them to me."
"Keep them," Tessa said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "They look better on you anyway."
"That's for sure," Kane said as he slid into the booth next to Amaranth and stole a handful of her fries.
Jax eyed him with amusement. "You right?" he asked, nodding to the fries in the drummer's hand.
Kane grinned, fries sticking out of his mouth.
Amaranth laughed, and Jax turned to look at her.
Her laugh was quiet, but just a little gritty. It came out almost as a gasp of pleasure, and Jax had to close his eyes briefly to settle the sudden flare of heat that struck his groin.
"Hey, guys," Toby said from the doorway, waving them over. "Let's go."
Kane groaned and slid out of the booth, holding his hand out to Amaranth.
She giggled and placed her hand in his, allowing him to lead her out of the diner.
Jax's hands formed fists beneath the table as Kane blatantly looked down at Amaranth's ass, then back at Jax, giving him an exaggerated wink.
He hated Kane looking at her like that, but he
