Excerpt:
Jax
took him by the hand and gazed deep into his eyes. “Don’t worry, McBride, I’ll
protect you.” He skeptically surveyed her and raised one thick black eyebrow.
She grinned at him. Down only three of the twenty steps on their trip to the
dinner table, he knocked her off balance with his next question.
“How
long have you been doing drugs, Jax?” She almost fell down the remaining
stairs. Garret’s quick thinking saved her from disaster; his long muscular arm
scooped her close to him.
“You
can let go! I’m fine now.”
Garrett
was unnerved by how reluctant he was to release his hold on her.
Not
another word passed between them until they reached the kitchen. She approached
her usual seat, and Garrett pulled out the chair to seat her.
“A real gent. Huh, Jax?” Sid wagged his eyebrows at her.
“Oh?
Well…I don’t know him well enough to tell whether it’s manners or he thinks
that I am still spaced out and might fall on my face. Then Maggie would have to
shoot him, because she might think that he gave me the drugs.” Jax glared at
Garrett, as he took his seat at the table to her right.
Maggie
caught the bulk of the exchange. “Jax! What’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing.”
“Jax?”
“Please,
Maggie, I’ll tell you everything after I eat something, I haven’t had a meal in
three days!”
Maggie
started piling food on her plate so quickly, both men cracked up. “Shut
up, you two!” Maggie scolded. Jax had to give them credit; they did try to
subdue their mirth, but they lost the battle, and only laughed harder. Maggie
passed them the serving platter along with a threatening look. They all settled
down until Jax scooted back her chair to stand up. Maggie was on it in a flash.
“Where you going?”
“To
get some tea.”
“Sit
down and eat! I can get it.” Jax looked at her and frowned. The men started
laughing all over again. Maggie never waited on anyone. She was making Jax
extremely nervous; she didn’t normally wait on her either. She looked at Sid
for some clarification. He was no help. He only laughed all the more.
Maggie
set a glass of iced tea in front of Jax. Garrett looked over at her as if her
choice of beverage was strange.
Sid
grinned at him. “Takes some getting used to. She drinks it all year, summer, or
dead of winter.”
Jax
set her glass down and looked directly at Garrett. “You know, Mr. McBride,”
emphasizing the ‘mister’, “it isn’t a good idea to drink alcoholic beverages
when you’re doing drugs. So I stick to water or iced tea whenever I have hot
pipes.” Sid almost choked on his coffee. Maggie got up and patted him on the
back, all the while giving Jax a threatening scowl. She looked back at Garrett,
and found him scowling at her too. She couldn’t control her bout of laughter at
their outraged expressions. Maggie sat back down after pouring everyone another
cup of coffee.
Sid
questioned Maggie “Do you think it is safe to drink it?” Maggie shrugged, in
answer, then she inquired, “Do you want another refill, Jax?”
“No
thanks, I’m good.” Both of the men snickered at her remark.
Maggie
piped up with, “That remains to be determined. Talk!”
She made a mental note not to use that
expression again. She eased back in her chair and assessed Maggie, “So, what do
you want to know?”
