Semua Bab A Dangerous Game: Desired By The Billionaire Brothers : Bab 101 - Bab 110

MiaSomeone held her in their arms. She opened her eyes. The room was dimly lit by a lamp on the nightstand next to the bed. She had no idea where they were. Nothing in the space looked familiar. Mia wore nothing but a thin, white nightgown covering her body. Where was she?She lifted her head. Yawning, Jax loosened his hold on her but didn’t let go. “How do you feel?”“Like I’d been given a date rape drug or worse.” Her head boomed. “I’m. . .just so. . .tired, but. . . what happened?”“Someone bombed Xavier’s house. The table slammed against you and knocked you out. Xavier and I escaped while I held you the whole time.”Mia tried to get up, but he wouldn’t let her leave his arms. “You have to rest.”Blinking, she struggled out of his grip and sat up. “Who dressed me?”“I did.”“Good.” She adjusted the thin gown. “I didn’t want to hear that Xavier had touched me.”“No, I wouldn’t let him near you.”“Thank you so much.” Mia focused on the room and the odd movement of the bed. And t

MiaAnd when he kissed her, when he caressed her skin, when he whispered that he would always be there for her, when he held her close, the broken bits of her heart began to heal.And even though it was only pieces of her heart that moved and throbbed and came alive, hope pooled inside of her rib cage, reviving everything in its space. She felt hope around Jax. Hope. The brick that builds dreams out of darkness. Xavier had broken her, but Jax was making her whole again.Jax brushed his lips against mine and whispered,“And this marriage won’t be a temporary thing. I want it to be forever. I want us to be forever.”“Okay,” She whispered back, not sure of everything but knowing that he meant every word. She could feel the honesty radiating off his skin and spinning all around her.Could we be happy? Would we really have a happy ending?Jax’s love terrified Mia because it was safer to not love at all then to experience something so intense, so maddingly passionate and not have all of it

JaxLittle snores escaped Mia’s parted mouth as she passed out on his chest. Even her snores were cute—little girly ones.He wouldn’t mind sleeping next to her for the rest of his life.And as he tried to enjoy this moment with her and go to sleep himself, that same fucked up feeling kept bothering him. Now it had left his gut and soared up to his head. Knocking and knocking. It kept knocking at the back of his head.“Because I’m not that good,” Xavier had said.He didn’t want to leave the bed. There was a luxury to Mia’s embrace—her warm naked body molded against mine, her scent draping him like a blanket, those soft little snores making him feel like he’d somehow found a home, even though Jax was thousands of miles away from his yacht.For some reason, he got the sense that finally, he’d figured out where he was supposed to be.“Because I’m not that good.” That damn response from Xavier kept knocking in his head, never letting him close his eyes. Never letting him get any rest. No

MiaShe woke up in Jax’s arms. Maybe he’d awakened her from all the stirring and mumbling he was doing as he stared at the ceiling.Tension thickened in the air as the boat rocked back and forth. Outside of the window, a storm sounded and she didn’t even want to think about the additional morbid possibilities that could arrive.What if it’s a storm that’s so bad, it turns over the boat or we’re lost at sea. Or—“All of it,” Jax whispered to himself. “It’s all a game.”It’s all a game?Her thoughts shifted from anxiety with the boat and weather to Xavier. What was Jax talking about? What kept him up like this? Had something new happened.Tensing, she raised her head from his chest.“What’s all a game?”Please, Jax. Be the one guy that continues to tell me the truth. Don’t let me down. She was already so fucked up when it comes to trusting a man.He turned to her and whispered, “Everything. It’s all a game.”“Are you saying—”“Don’t talk too loud. In fact, let’s go to take a shower. Ma

XavierMoonlight bathed the night sky as we arrived at the island. It was the perfect time to come. This area was slow living where villagers tucked themselves in bed by eight to rise with the sun.Not many would be out and about tonight taking note of who was going and coming.Let the game continue.São Tomé Island was off the western coast of Central Africa and straddling the Equator. Most of the inhabitants spoke Portuguese and few tourists came. Here, the inhabitants moved at their own leisurely pace among emerald forest vegetation full of wildlife and surrounded by soaring volcanic peaks.Only the hard-core divers journeyed to this gem and explored these uncharted waters. Only the truly broken-hearted drunkenly wandered around the islands’ sleepy fishermen’s villages. The last time he was here, he fit both types.When Mia left him, he found refuge here. The long ending sandy beaches gave off a relaxing vibe. He’d gained weight, stuffing his mouth with exotic dishes drenched in cr
