My dick twitched at the memory of her lips wrapped around my cock. I couldn’t help but think of the way her body felt beneath mine.
The smell of her hair.
The feel of her skin.
The taste of her pussy.
She was addicting, and like an addict, I wanted another hit. Another taste. Another moment to get lost inside of her. Where nothing else mattered but making her come and scream my name.
“Jax … harder … please…”
Autumn revealed, “My contact just texted me those photos, so I could confirm that he did indeed find the right Sophie Hayes.”
Her words tore me away from the past and into the present where she’d actually found her.
“Why did you want to know the date of when we last saw each other?”
They say that everything happens for a reason. That your life was already predetermined, and everyone served a purpose. I always imagined Sophie’s purpose in my life was to show me that you could share a deep connection with someone. That maybe love could exist if I gave it half a chance.
When Autumn didn’t answer my question, I instinctively swiped her screen to the next picture. For the second time in my life, it felt as though I was having an out of body experience.
I was there, but I wasn’t.
“Jax, are you seeing what we did?” Caleb asked, still on speakerphone.
My heart was pounding.
Thrashing against my chest.
I couldn’t breathe.
I couldn’t fucking breathe.
It wasn’t just Sophie I was seeing for the first time after all these years.
It was her kid too.
Her son.
He looked just like her.
But he also had my eyes.
I never thought Sophie’s purpose in my life was to make me…

A father.

SOPHIE
THEN
The first time I met Jax Colton I was seventeen years old, and he was eighteen.
From the moment I saw him, I think I fell head over heels in love with him. It was one of those significant moments you had in your life. One that you’d remember forever.
