Hydra froze when Jax shifted beneath her, and before she could even process what was happening, his arms slipped around her with an ease that stole the breath from her lungs.
He pulled her gently but firmly, guiding her onto his lap as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Huh?" She gasped as she landed on Jax's lap, feeling his firm hands wrapped around her, and her entire body went rigid for half a heartbeat before heat flooded her face.
Her emerald eyes went wide, then instantly darted away, cheeks glowing a vivid, luminous green as her poison reacted, a vast amount of poison emitting from all of her pores, enough to instant kill almost anyone, but thankfully, Jax was immune to it.
Still, Hydra was completely confused by emotions she had never been allowed to feel in the past. Feeling someone holding her, it shocked her to her core.
