Harmonizing Hearts (Darkest Symphony #1)

5. Chapter 5 Jax

“I should go.” Her shaky voice makes me move away while the cold emptiness hits my body instantly. There was something about Emma that scattered tons of forbidden feelings and now I can understand why. The woman who has haunted my dreams for months is here. In front of me. In my house.

Mentally I shake myself and try to regain some willpower she seems to steal off each time I’m close to her. “Okay,” I mutter while watching her walk away. I’ll make damn sure we’ll talk about it later. I’ll lock the door to make sure you won’t run away anymore.

“I’m so sorry, Jax.” Jill whines. “I let it ring but it got too insistent.”

Placing my arm around her shoulder I tug her closer, “It’s okay, we’ll have time.”

“I kinda like the sound of it.” She giggles, “I love the chemistry between you two.”

“Me too.” I admit while walking in the kitchen. The food aroma makes my mouth water. Letting the three of them cook wasn’t a bad idea after all.

Luke snatches a roasted potato while sinking in a stool. “Hey Jax, today’s the night. “

I hold a beer out for him. “And I can’t wait.”

He shakes his head, “I’ll pass since I’ll drive tonight.”

“I’m ready.” Emma’s voice makes me turn around. The black short dress fits perfectly on her. Even too much. “See you later.” She waves us goodbye while wearing her sunglasses.

“Where are you going?” I stupidly ask. The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.

“A date and you’re making her late.” Liam pats my shoulder, “Have fun!”

“Will do.” She smiles before leaving the house.

A date?

With whom?

Where?

I haven’t realized I’m still watching the door when Jill places the cutlery in my hand. “At least help us.”

I blink a few times, “W-what?”

“It’s dinner time.” Charlie sing-songs while bringing a bowl of salad on the table.

“Yeah, sure.” I peer at the cutlery, “Hope you cooked something good.”

Taking a seat, I realize the chair near me is empty and the weird feeling that follows hits me. In the last week I’ve gotten used to having her around, seated near me and now, now I feel alone.

“Since Emma is not here, I want to buy her a gift for all the hard work she’s done this week for us. Any idea?” Dex asks.

“I tried to find out what she likes but still have no clue. What about a new portable cup? With our signature on it.” Jill shrugs, “The one she has is a simple gray one and she takes it everywhere.”

“It may be an idea.” Charlie nods, “Have you seen our socials?”

“Not yet, Em is keeping us away from them,” Jill giggles, “but she has scheduled everything and our agenda looks pretty packed. If you promise to keep it a secret, she told me we’ll open a few concerts this year.”

“That’s awesome.” I munch my morsel trying to shut my brain that wants to know where she went. A date… I should have asked her more. Stopped her. The fuck is wrong with me?

After hours of watching my cell phone, I focus on the show. Today marks a new beginning for us and I can’t wait to start this new journey. I know it won’t be easy but this is what we’ve worked for. I’ve penned so many new tracks that I can’t wait to hear Angel’s opinion.

Hours pass by and I’m the only one who hasn't enjoyed the dinner, or show. I was way too focused wondering what she’s doing. Only the thought of someone else touching her drives me crazy. The guys go to bed and I pour myself some whiskey while waiting for Em. It’s insane she’s not already here. When the door finally opens and she walks in, she takes her heels off and fumbles with her cell phone.

“Did you have fun?” I ask while drinking my liquor.

Her shoes drop on the floor while I switch on the lamp. “Jax, for fuck’s sake.”

I didn’t want to startle her but it seems she wasn’t expecting me to be awake at one a.m.. She’s my responsibility and I need to be sure she comes back safe. Not to mention we have a conversation to finish.

Emma leaves her clutch and cell phone on the couch and approaches me. “Why are you awake?”

I cock a brow at her silly question. What should I suppose to answer? Because I’m obsessed with you? Jealousy was eating me up? “I wanted to make sure you got home safe.”

“Thank you but I wasn’t alone.” My grip on the glass tightens and she takes it off.

While drinking her in I ask again, “Did you have fun?” I focus on my breath trying to calm down and don’t make her sense how nervous I am.

“Of course,” she smiles before moving closer.

I grab her hips and pull her astride me, “Did he touch you?” She looks confused by my question. “Your date.”

“What are you talking about? I was at my auntie’s birthday’s party, Jax.” I can hear the amusement in her voice. “Wait, that’s why you’re awake? You thought I was with someone?”

I move my gaze away but she cups my face and brings it back in place. My hands move over her back and shoulders until I grab the back of her head and bring her closer. “No one else touched me.” Her words sink deep, her breath quickens but still she’s waiting. Kissing has always been off limits for me but now it’s the only thing I want. Need. Taking hold of her lips, the muffled moan she makes sinks deep in my bones. My heart slows its beat, as does time. Emma kisses me back as if her life depends on it and I fucking love it. The heat rushes through my body, making me crave for more. I was waiting for this moment for what seems ages.

“Jax,” she pants on my lips when I break our kiss.

The urge of claiming her is stronger than ever, but I want her to want it too. And if she lets me, I’d do anything for her. As if Emma could sense my trepidation she reaches for the hem of my t-shirt and pulls it up. My hands hover over her legs, reaching her dress. Her aroused scent brings out the animal in me and I get up the couch with her in my arms. “I won’t drop you, baby,” I whisper while her arms tightens around me.

“I know.” She murmurs on my neck, “You’d never.” Her teeth graze it before kissing it. It’s a torture and thousand times better than I remembered. Her lips on my skin is heaven, putting me ablaze.

“Fuck Em, I need you.” I growl while shutting the door of my bedroom. It’s an urge I have never felt before.

I feel her smile on my skin and I let her down. Her lips brush over my chest, while her tongue flips over my nipples. Her eyes are veiled with passion and that’s the look I was waiting to see again.

Emma gets on her knees, eyes on me while stopping at my waistband. “Can I, Daddy?”

Tucking at her hair I force her head back and I bend down to brush my lips over hers, “No need to ask permission, baby girl, not tonight.” The devilish grin makes my heart pound. I know how heavenly her mouth around my cock feels and how good she is to pull me in what I’ve been told is called a Dom space. When the warmth of her mouth wraps around my thickness, I flop my head back enjoying the feeling. The deeper she takes me, the more I’m losing my control. Pace and silence envelops me, shutting down the world outside. There’s just the two of us.

Her moans reverberate on my cock and I can help but push my hips further. “Such a good girl,” I praise while pushing my cock deep down her throat. Her eyes waters and those tears are something I’ve always wanted to see. When I pull myself out, she complains but doesn’t wait. Em grabs my cock and jerks it while sucking my balls. The familiar shiver is showing up way to soon, I want her cunt to milk my cock before coming but fuck me she’s a blissful vision.

“Off the dress Em, I want you displayed on my bed.” I demand while she pumps and sucks hard on my dick. “Now!”

She gets up and throws the dress away while walking backward toward the bed. She sits on the edge, takes her thong off and spreads her legs for me. The goddess in front of me is pure perfection. She cups her tits I can’t wait to taste again, while one hand travels south. I can see her glistening pussy and I’m so ready to dive in that paradise. Emma sinks two fingers inside of her, a soft moan leaving her mouth while I take a condom and tear the pouch with my teeth. Our eyes lock while the only noise is the wetness between her thighs. My stomach flutters with anticipation while approaching her as a predator does with his prey. Em takes out the fingers coated in her juices and brings it up. I catch it and take them in my mouth, licking her sweetness before placing her legs over my shoulders and mercilessly devouring her cunt.

“Oh my…” she pants while wiggling her hips.

Grabbing at her hips, I pull her closer, “Hold it for me, baby, don’t you fucking dare to come.”

“God…” she cries, convulsing already. I bite her clit. “The fuck did I do?”

“You’re allowed to scream my name, baby girl, only mine. Not God, not Lucifer or whatever saint.” Her eyes are burning into mine, and the words just leave my mouth, “You’re mine.” I don’t even try to hold them back. That’s what I want. This pace, this state of mind and burning passion to last forever.

“Make me,” she pleads.

Sinking in her cunt with one thrust, I stretch her walls built the desire to fuck her senseless but I don’t want to rush it since I’m the first hanging on a thread. Wrapping my hand around her neck, I squeeze it making her roll her eyes backward. Working my hips faster I feel she struggles to hold her orgasm already looming powerful and I want all of them.

“Come for Daddy, baby girl.” When her cunt squeezes me I hammer more, filling her up.
