Jinx Chapter 14 Novels & Stories

A few Serpents were in the common area, and from their carefully averted eyes, I knew they’d witnessed at least part of what had just happened. Great. Now I wasn’t just the Commissioner’s daughter causing drama—I was the girl making scenes in the courtyard. I made it to my room and closed the door, leaning against it as everything from the last two days crashed over me in waves. The jacket hanging in my closet seemed to mock me—a symbol of Maddox’s thoughtfulness, a reminder of what had pushed Jaxon over the edge. I touched my lips again, feeling the ghost of that desperate kiss, tasting whiskey and regret.

It was in that moment that I realized how fiercely we had become connected, how our souls had intertwined through the chaos and adversity we faced together. But our respite was short-lived. The enemy still lurked nearby, the threat of their return hanging heavily in the air. We needed to regroup, to gather our forces and strategize before they strike again. Before we can even do anything, Jazz turns into Jynx and takes off. Causing me to shift and chase after her. While worrying that she won't recognize me because this is the first time I have shifted around her. But before I can even reach her, she stops and stands over a body that is shaking and small. She lays over them while growling. Wh

It was the moment I saw that the sweat beads around her body had dried up and her skin was at its normal temperature again. Also, it was moments after that new development that Xenia walked into the house in a frenzy. She’d taken the first flight away from her wellness retreat camp and hurried over once Xander informed her of April’s critical condition. “I’m so sorry I’m late,” she was breathing heavily as she crouched beside April, placing a palm over her heart and another on her forehead. She didn’t even wait to get a reply or an update from any of us before she started to chant in an ancient language, doing what she knew how to do best.

My dick twitches when I remember the last time my hands were on those hips as she rode my cock like a pro. “I know that look. Stop thinking of my sister like that.” Riley growls. I smirk at him, which causes him to punch me in the arm. I let out a grunt, but that is it. Carmine raises an eyebrow at the three of us as Mathius laughs. I shoot him a look back as he, their grandfather, and uncle keep talking. Sapphire wanders over to Jack and Yasmin. Mathius joins them, and fuck, that weird feeling is back. They look like the perfect fucking family. Riley joins them a few minutes later, and that feeling increases. I swear they are related. I guess we will find out tomorrow when we tal

Sure, if I hadn’t eaten and done tequila shots, three might have gotten me tipsy, and four would have put me on the floor. But of course, the universe can’t just give me a mulligan. This was my chance to show Xenia I’m not a total wreck and capable of showing her a good time. And just as things were going the way I wanted, it went to shit. I had my head between her thighs, her fingers clutching my hair as she moaned and withered in pleasure. When I started to get that dizzy feeling, I wanted to attribute it to the blood rushing to a different head, but things went black.

‎ ‎All eyes turned to the corner, where Jinx was sitting on a barrel, eating an apple. ‎ ‎Jinx froze. He looked at the map. He looked at the narrow shaft. ‎ ‎"I can fit," he said, swallowing a bite of apple. ‎ ‎"Jinx, no," I said instinctively. "He's a child." ‎ ‎"He's a rogue," Kaelen corrected gently. "And he's the best climber we have. Jinx, if you get in that shaft, you can drop down into the server room and cut the lasers. Can you do that?"

Xiyu realised her emotions were taking over her and remembered to keep up her pretence of the icy-cold witch. “You… healed me,” she repeated coldly. “How did you do it, Young Master Zhan?” She did not mention the ancient magic or how bad she felt for him. She didn’t want him to know how weak and emotional she could be. This was something she had learned well, to hide her emotions. She couldn’t risk another Hanshan entering and leaving her life.

It was still early and the chances of Lills being asleep and waiting was tiny, but I couldn't help but wonder. I hadn’t had the courage to go there yet, not with the news I carried. But I was finally alone, safe and feeling homesick for her. I closed my eyes and slipped the silver band from my finger. The back of my eyelids glowed white and the world around me changed. I was standing in the middle of our room at the scorchers nest. I let out a defeated sigh, knowing it'd been too much to hope for. I should've gone back then and there, but I had time on my side and nothing else better to do.

I let his words swirl around my head, drinking in the sincerity and truth of his comment. “I know” I said back to him quietly. I shut my eyes and listened as he breathed out a relieved sigh and laid down. Neither one of us fell asleep. I could tell by his breathing, and because he stank of anxiety. I don’t know what he was anxious about though. We laid silently for hours, side by side, neither one of us speaking. It was strangely comfortable. -------------------------------------- Authors Note Tell me your thoughts on the new chapters. What do you think is going on with Gunner and Whiskey? What is this new hypnotic power Gunner has, and why does Whiskey feel safe with him?

Her stomach contracted with longing as she forced herself to move away from him before they both did something to embarrass them all. Moving closer to her aunt, she watched as Rex sat with his back against a thick tree trunk and settled his body into a light trance. The temptation to go into trance and see what he was seeing was great, but she refrained. It was clear that he didn’t want her to look into things, plus, admittedly, her abilities weren’t as adept as his. If she went into trance, there was a risk of her being down much longer than he would be and that would simply hold things up. So, she watched and waited with baited breath.
