Chapter Sixteen - Over before we started

Jax's POV:

"Jax these are the best pancakes I've ever had. If the boss doesn't marry you, I know I will," Emiolo states pointing his fork at me whilst groaning in appreciation.

"Being the best is what I do, the way to a mans heart is through his stomach is what I always tell them," laughing the other members agree shouting 'damn rights' and yes.

I had woken up before Valentino because my body has just been use to all these early mornings, so I decided to make breakfast for him and his men.

A few minutes after trying to find my way around the kitchen the guys began to roll in one by one. So for the past few hours I've been getting to know them all and surprisingly they're really chilled out.

They're great guys, scary looking but harmless when you get to know them. I told the maids to have the morning off on me, I even made them breakfast and they really seemed to appreciate it.

You could see that Valentino worked them to the bone, I feel sorry for them.

It took a lot of convincing for me to get them to take the morning off but I'm glad they are taken a well deserved break, the place is spotless!

"So Jax I was thinking the next time you come over we could do cinnamon waffles, sausage links, candied bacon a-" I cut him off noticing a pattern in his choice of foods.

"You sir, are looking to get diabetes, I would know my father has type two," I point out whilst pointing a spatula at him.

"I'm sorry it's just, we never get to eat junk in the house, those treats you brought us last night...gone...all of it....in four minutes," if my eyebrows could have shot off my face in surprise they would have.

Valentino doesn't allow them to eat junk food? They are adults! Full grown adults what the hell?

"You poor babies, no wonder you're all so skinny. I'm joking you guys could probably put me to sleep with one punch, el oh el. Well then, eat up there's more where that's coming from!"  They all cheer getting their plates ready as I pour more batter into the pan.

"Jax a word," I look up from the pan to see Valentino standing there in all his sexy morning glory, that only brings me flashbacks of last night and I can't help but smile to myself.

Serving up the pancakes that I'm currently cooking I pass the batter duty over to Emilio. The mood in the room seems to grow tense as none of the men look in Valentino's direction but mine, as if they can sense something is wrong.

"I made some pancakes would you l-", "No, we need to talk," the smile wipes off my face at the seriousness in his tone.

Maybe he needs to keep this act up in front of his men? Maybe they don't know about the sweet and kind Valentino that I'm slowly discovering.

Following Valeninto back to his bedroom I wander if he wants to go for another round when he locks the door behind me after entering.

Before I could even greet him a good morning he said five words that broke me all over again.

"Last night was a mistake," my brain struggles to understand what's going on and what I could have done wrong.

"To cut it short Jax I'm engaged and I used you. I used you for your body and if I'm being honest I don't feel sorry in the slightest,".
