Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 25
Maya’s PovI stared up at Jax, my heart hammering against my ribs as his confession sank into my mind. I wanted to push him away. I wanted to laugh, to throw his own arrogant words back in his face, to tell him he was out of his mind. But looking into his dark, steady eyes, I knew he meant every single syllable. He wasn't playing a game anymore."You don't mean that," I whispered, my voice barely audible as I took a half step back from him."I have never been more serious about anything in my life," Jax replied, his hands sliding down my arms before dropping slowly to his sides, as if he were forcing himself to give me space.I turned around, walking over to the large window that overlooked the dark gardens outside. My hands were shaking, and I folded them tightly across my chest. Briar’s warning echoed in my brain, twisting together with Jax's words until I couldn't tell where the threat ended and the romance began. He will throw you away just like everything else."That's the proble
Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 24
Jax’s PovI tossed the keys onto the passenger seat and looked at Maya, who was crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at me from across the car. We were parked outside the iron gates of a sprawling, neon-lit entertainment complex on the edge of the city. It was a private amusement park owned entirely by the Worth family, usually reserved for corporate events and VIP investors. Tonight, it was completely empty, glowing with thousands of colorful lights that reflected in Maya’s dark, curious eyes."So," Maya said, a teasing smirk pulling at the corner of her lips. "Are you going to tell me why the great Jax Worth is taking me to a luxury amusement park on a Tuesday night, or are we just going to pretend this isn't a date?"I felt a muscle jump in my jaw, and I forced myself to look away from her smile. "It is not a date, Maya. I told you that. It’s simply... a tactical outing."She laughed, a bright, musical sound that bounced off the dashboard and made my chest tighten in a way I st
Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 23
Maya’s PovI walked out of my dorm building, expecting another day of whispering students, stolen glances, and the constant weight of campus gossip. Instead, I stopped dead in my tracks. Leaning against the hood of a sleek, unmarked black car parked near the curb was Jax. He wasn’t wearing his usual expensive suit or his cold, untouchable armor. He wore a simple dark sweater, his sleeves pushed up slightly, looking more like an ordinary guy than the terrifying heir to Calloway Holdings.When he saw me, he pushed off the car and walked over. There was no arrogance in his steps, no sharp smirk on his face. He was unusually quiet, his expression softer than I had ever seen it before."Get in, Maya," he said softly, opening the passenger door for me."What are you doing here, Jax?" I asked, hesitating for a second, my guard instantly going up. "If this is another one of your games—""It's not a game," he interrupted, his voice surprisingly gentle. "Just get in. Trust me for once."I narr
Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 22
Jax’s PovI stood near the edge of the courtyard, watching Maya talk to a group of senior engineering students who had previously pretended she didn't exist. Ever since her victory at the showcase, the campus had completely flipped its script. Professors nodded respectfully when she walked past, wealthy students tried to strike up conversations, and athletes who used to ignore her were suddenly acting like they had known her for years.For someone who had spent months trying to stay invisible, blending into the background of my world, she was now the center of it. And I hated every single second of it.My chest tightened with a dark, heavy irritation as I watched a basketball player flash her a wide, easy grin. But my anger spiked the hardest when I saw Saige walking toward her. Saige had a way of looking at her—not like she was a prize to be won, but like she was an equal, someone worth listening to. That terrified me more than any hostile rival ever could.I didn't understand what w
Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 21
Maya’s PovThe next three weeks blur past in a chaotic cycle of late nights, burnt coffee, and flying sparks in the student workshop. I am entirely consumed by the engineering showcase. I refuse to let anyone say I got this spot because of Jax’s name or his family's money. This project has to be 100 percent mine. Ava helps me trace circuit boards and double-check stress calculations until our eyes are bloodshot and heavy.Every now and then, Jax wanders into the workshop. He leans against the doorframe with his arms crossed, watching us work in silence. Sometimes, when I hit a dead end with the hydraulic valves, he points out a tiny flaw in my math with a quiet, two-sentence suggestion before I can even ask. Every instinct tells me to ignore him, to wipe out his advice and do it the hard way. But I look at his notes, and I realize he is right. He knows mechanics just as well as I do. Still, I grumble and change it my own way, just to prove I am in control."You're being stubborn," Jax
Jax's Little Obsession Chapter 20
Maya’s PovI woke up the next morning with one single goal: act like the kiss in the office never happened. I told myself it was just a stupid mistake caused by too much stress and too much anger. I pulled my hair back into a tight ponytail, put on my favorite dark jacket, and walked downstairs, ready to look Jax straight in the eye and pretend my heart wasn't beating a million miles an hour.Jax was already in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee. When I walked in, he didn't laugh or bring up the night before. But he didn't act normal either. There was a quiet shift in the way he looked at me—a calm, steady warmth that was way more dangerous than his usual arrogance."Morning," he said, pushing a small cup of black coffee across the island toward me before I even had to ask.I froze, staring at the cup. I hadn't told him how I liked my coffee. I hadn't mentioned it once since I got here. Yet there it was, sitting right where I liked it."I don't want this,"
