BASTARD IN A SUIT のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

MAXIMILIAN'S POV"Paxton, tell me what you've got," I demanded. The auction was about to start, and my PI was late with the details I requested. Paxton held his phone in his hand, waiting impatiently for the email from Derek Russo. "Derek is so laid back, I don't understand why you didn't use Conner instead," Paxton shrugged. "I know Conner is more professional, but Derek has his ways of digging deep and going to whatever lengths he must go to get the information needed," I stated calmly even though I was panicking on the instead. Paxton refreshed the page. "It's here, finally," he beamed."OK, open it and tell me what it says," I requested, my heart beating fast inside my rib cage. I watched Pax's eyes roam the e-mail while his lips mimed whatever was in the report. His face went pale making my heart speed up even more. "I don't like that look on your face. What is it?" I asked. "Trouble," was all he said as he handed me the phone. "Read it yourself." "Let me see," I snatched th

MEREDITH'S POVAs Mary extracted me from the tiny box, I didn't utter a sound or remember how to blink. She didn't say much as she removed the blindfold off my eyes. "Come," she beckoned. "Your new master wants me to give you a bath."New master? What the hell. I didn't like that term at all. "But I can bathe myself," I protested. "Yes I know Meredith, but this is my order. Now come," she said irritated. I reluctantly followed her to the bathroom and stepped into the tub of warm water that was drawn for me. My body felt tense as Mary's hands rubbed soap along my collarbone and my chest. She applied some body wash to my washcloth and handed it to me so I could wash my privates myself. She faced away from me to allow some privacy while I cleaned myself. Once I completed my bath, Mary provided me with a lovely pink baby doll dress and some mesh underwear to wear. These clothes were at least normal, and as if she could read my thoughts, she remarked, "The master selected these for you

MAXIMILIAN'S POVI was lost in thought. Meredith's words echoed repeatedly in my mind. 'Hate me?' I should be the one to hate her after I opened my bed and heart to her, and what did she do in return? Stole the cheque right under my nose. Was it always about money for her? I startled when someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Paxton behind me, gazing at me with a puzzled expression. "Shit, man, you startled me," I smirked as I took a drag from my cigar. "Sorry," he apologized. "Since when do you smoke?" He asked me. "Since I fell for someone who chewed me up and spat me out like I was chicken bone," I grunted, throwing the cigar bud in the fire. The wood crackled, and the flames flickered as I stormed to go plop on the couch. "What happened? You're all broody and irritated," Paxton mentioned. "I thought you'd be happy. You've got your girl, so why aren't you two riding off into the sunset?""I genuinely believed I would be able to forget that she took the cheque

MEREDITH'S POVMax faltered for a moment, but he soon found his balance again. He tightened his jaw muscles, and I could see he was doing everything he could to hold back his emotions. His views softened, making him look more playful now. I gulped because this look in his eyes terrified me more than his aggressive look. This look was pulling me in like a moth to a flame. This look stirred feelings in my nether parts that I would prefer not to feel right now. "Well," Max began running a thumb over the side of his mouth. "I shouldn't have removed my fingers and tasted how sweet your juices are," he stated, looking me dead in the eye. Shit! I'm in trouble, I whispered internally. 'We both are, sis,' Devil girl purred. I knew I should have taken a step back. Even Angel lady was yelling for me to retreat, but I took a step forward instead. I opened my mouth and even though my heart was fluttering in my chest and my body was trembling from nervousness, I still found the courage to say,

MAXIMILIAN'S POVI spent the early hours of dawn in my home gym releasing some energy. My lovemaking proved to be too intense for poor Meredith. She begged me to let her sleep, but ever since she arrived, I couldn't control my arousal. It was always up and ready for her. I lifted weights and did stretches for a few hours, and afterward, I instructed my driver to pick up Brenda. I figured a quick visit from her best friend would brighten Meredith's day. I grabbed a shower and then took a few meetings over the phone in my home office. After two hours of negotiations with clients from Russia, I finally convinced them to sign with my company. I felt a sense of accomplishment and called my lawyer to inquire about the progress of that contract. I aimed to ensure that everything was proceeding well. A notification appeared on my phone. I scrolled down and opened it. This report centered around Asher and Kimberly. According to reports, both were chosen as supporting leads for an upcoming s
