NOAH’S POV

Stupid Noah, so fucking stupid.

I didn’t understand why I’d agreed to go at all.

The words just left my mouth before I’d actually thought it through—that same old, well worn groove in my brain that still lit up the second Luca’s voice cracked with need.

I’d thought last night might have finally worn it out.

Now I realized it would take more than one night

with Kade to forget his brother even existed.

What I understood even less was Kade offering to drive me there himself.

  • Claimed by the wrong leister brother   CHAPTER 142: DESPERATE TIMES CALLS FOR, KADE LEISTER III

    Even from behind, I knew that careless stance, one hand gesturing lazily as he spoke, his shoulders relaxed. The other man walked away.Kade turned.And just like that, I forgot how to breathe.Well, that was fucking inconvenient.The afternoon sun caught the dark curls falling over his forehead, bringing out the subtle warmth in his hair. His white shirt was rolled to his elbows, the sleeves exposing his forearms, while the fitted fabric stretched across his shoulders before disappearing into the waistband of his black trousers. A few buttons at the collar were undone, revealing a glimpse of his throat.He looked unfairly good.Then his eyes found mine. And that familiar smirk slowly spread across his face.Of course.I straightened and kept walking, determined not to let him see how long I’d been staring.He’d never let me hear the end of it.Atlas reached him first.“She’s here.”Kade didn’t look away from me. “I can see that.”Atlas gave him a nod, then carried my suitcase towa

    Someone?I stared at my phone, replaying Kade’s last words.I’d assumed he meant himself. He’d still been in California, hadn’t he? Unless he’d already left and was sending someone to sort out another flight.I glanced towards the airport entrance, half expecting him to come striding through the automatic doors.But nothing.The bench was beginning to feel like a medieval torture device. I shifted again, but gave up, and pushed myself to my feet, rolling my shoulders as I scanned the departure hall.People hurried past with their luggage, airport staff moved between the counters, and a little boy was throwing a spectacular tantrum near the check-in desks.Everyone seemed to have somewhere to be.Everyone except me.My phone vibrated.QUINN: Any feedback?My thumb hovered over the keyboard.What was I supposed to tell her? That I’d called Kade Leister, the last man I wanted to owe a favour, and he was apparently sending someone to rescue me? I locked my phone and slipped it into my ha

  • Claimed by the wrong leister brother   CHAPTER 140: DESPERATE TIMES CALLS FOR, KADE LEISTER

    I dropped into the nearest seat and dragged both hands down my face.You have got to be kidding me.I’d packed, made it to the airport on time, checked in and done everything I was supposed to. And now I was stranded with no flight, and no alternative. I glanced at the departure board again, as if staring hard enough might somehow bring my flight back.Then, my phone vibrated in my handbag and I pulled it out instantly.QUINN: Boarding yet?I let out a humourless laugh.ME: Flight got cancelled.Her reply came almost instantly.QUINN: WHAT?!ME: Some technical issue. And the next available flight is tomorrow evening.QUINN: Noah, you start work tomorrow!ME: I’m aware. I’m currently trying not to lose my damn mind.QUINN: Have you checked other airlines?ME: Yes. Nothing useful so far.The typing bubble appeared, vanished, then returned.QUINN: Do you want me to come back?I glanced at the time. Quinn was probably already halfway home. Turning around would take her ages, and there wa

  • Claimed by the wrong leister brother   CHAPTER 139: A FRESH START III

    The drive to the airport passed in a blur of traffic and familiar streets. I sat with my handbag on my lap, watching California traffic crawl past the window. Quinn had the radio playing softly, while Micah occasionally made little noises from his car seat. My mind, however, was already in Miami. The new job. The unfamiliar office. Finding an apartment. Figuring out a new city without knowing a soul. And, annoyingly, Kade. His offer replayed in my head. His spare bedroom. His ridiculous confidence when he’d suggested I travel with him, as though he already concluded I’d accept it. I shifted in my seat and stared out the window. Absolutely not. I wasn’t moving into Kade Leister’s house. Whatever arrangement he had in mind, I could find somewhere of my own. The airport signs appeared ahead, and Quinn slowed into the departures lane. “Here we are,” she said, pulling up near the entrance. I unbuckled my seat belt and pushed open the door. “Finally.” Then, I stepped out, rounde

    Quinn would lose her mind. And honestly, I couldn’t blame her. “Why are you smiling?” she asked. I quickly schooled my expression. “I’m not.” “Right.” I bent over the suitcase, pretending to rearrange a few things. “I’m just saying, Noah, you don’t have to rush into anything serious. Have fun. Kiss someone. Enjoy yourself without turning it into a whole relationship.” “Your advice is getting worse by the minute.” “It’s still better than you becoming a hermit.” I shook my head, laughing as I pulled the zipper shut. Finally. I straightened and glanced at Quinn. She adjusted Micah against her chest as I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around her. “Thank you,” I murmured. She hugged me back. “You’re my sister. You don’t have to thank me.” “I know.” “Now go make something of yourself in Miami. And don’t get too busy to answer my calls.” I pulled back, grinning. “I’ll try to remember you.” “Smart mouth.” Micah cooed against Quinn’s chest, and I reached over to brush a f

  • Claimed by the wrong leister brother   CHAPTER 137: A FRESH START

    NOAH’S POV “If you forget your passport, you’re not getting on that plane.” “Quinn!” “Don’t Quinn me. I’m not turning the car around because you left the most important document in your life in my house.” “It’s in my handbag!” “Then why is it still sitting on the dresser?” I spun around so quickly the photograph in my hand nearly slipped. Quinn stood in the doorway, Micah strapped against her chest. One hand supported his little bottom while the other pointed accusingly towards the dresser. My passport sat right where I’d left it. “Oh, shit.” She gave me a pointed look. “Exactly.” I hurried over, snatched it up and shoved it into my handbag. “Honestly, Noah.” She shook her head, adjusting Micah when he wriggled against her chest. “If I weren't here, you'd probably end up halfway across the country.” “I'm pretty sure I can manage a flight to Miami.” “That's what you said about packing. Look how that turned out.” She grinned, bouncing Micah gently as he mad
