Read I'm Your Bully (Bully Book Series 1) for Free Online Page B

Emma made a sound like a long suffering sigh he just smiled wide.  Seeing that smile Emma said, “You are so annoying sometimes.  You never let me win.  If you would just give me my glasses back maybe I wouldn’t have tripped.”
     
    Jax slowly pulled her to a stop a couple blocks from Emma’s house.  Grabbing her hand, Jax tugged Emma into a dark yard away from street lights.  Backing her into the darkness, she could feel the heat of his touch and hear the night crickets singing.  When he stopped Jax wasn’t touching her anymore.  Surrounded by tall hedges on two sides Emma had nowhere to go. 
     
    She jumped when Jax whispered in her ear, “What’s wrong with me catching you when you fall?”  A single finger stroked the side of her face and Emma could swear she felt his breath on her cheek.  Worry began to beat at Emma.  What if he tried to kiss her?  She’d never kissed a boy before.  Jax had kissed half the population at her school, how could she compare.  Instead of feeling excitement, anxiety surged. 
     
                  Jax must have been able to see her face because he instantly asked, “Why do you look like you’re going to bolt?”   Great, now he sounded irritated, Emma thought. 
     
                  “I’m just…” Emma broke off because the loud thump of a car stereo system boomed as it drove by.  A sound she was familiar with when Paul visited Jax.  Shoving Jax in the chest, Emma swiftly walked out of the hedges to see Paul driving his car by.  Anger started burning in Emma.  So that was it.  Jax didn’t want to be seen with her in front of his friends. 
     
                  Whirling on Jax, Emma went on the attack.  “Did you see Paul’s car coming?  Is that why you dragged me into the hedges?  So he didn’t see you hanging on me?”  Emma was so mad she almost couldn’t hear Jax respond.  All she wanted to do was scream in his face that she didn’t want to play this game anymore. 
                 
                  “Hey, wait one damn minute.  I am not trying to hide you from my stupid friends.”  Emma didn’t have to guess if Jax was pissed off, his jaw was rigid and he was talking through gritted teeth.
                  “So what… It’s just coincidence that you pulled me off the street just as your best friend who tortured me in high school just like you used to drives by?” 
                  “It’s not like that, Emma.”  Emma watched as Jax’s fists tightened.  “I wish I could say that I don’t deserve your doubt but Emma I swear to you that I had no idea he was coming down the road.  I only pulled you off the street because we are so close to your house.  I wanted to spend more time with you before you ran away from me to the sanctuary of your home.”  The way Jax was speaking to her didn’t match his words. He was pissed off and couldn’t hide it.  He was practically sneering.
     
                  “Sanctuary… You think my home is a sanctuary?  You don’t know anything about me or my home.”  Emma was shaking, worse, she knew that she was unreasonably mad and embarrassed because of her outburst but the pain she was feeling was lancing through her.  She didn’t believe him. “My home has never been a sanctuary.” Anger moved Emma’s feet past Jax.  When she tried to keep walking away from him Emma heard Jax mutter, “Fuck this,” before he grabbed her by the arm, spinning her around toward him.

    Jax wasn’t expecting the reaction he got when he spun Emma toward him.  He dropped his hand immediately.  Emma went from being red faced mad at him to practically cradling her head with both arms.  Emma wasn’t listening to him anymore.  She was making these little sounds that struck Jax straight in the heart.  Emma was terrified...  Of him.
     
    “Oh god, Em, I’m so
