On My Ex's Brother's Bed のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 6

Ruby’s POVThe silk of John’s suit jacket felt smooth under my fingers as I reached into the pocket to check for the room key he said he’d misplaced. Instead, my fingers brushed against something small, curved, and unmistakably rubbery.I froze.Pulling it out just enough to confirm, I stared at the bright pink vibrator nestled in his pocket. My feet were cold on the rug. My heartbeat slow, but heavy.I didn’t say a word. I just tucked it away like it hadn’t happened and stepped back, my face blank, my body numb.John was still in the shower. Steam drifted through the half-closed bathroom door as he hummed to himself, completely unaware. The sound of water hitting tile was almost calming, but inside me, something was breaking.When he came out, his body was still damp, a towel around his waist. He kissed my neck and called me his baby, telling me that tonight he was going to make me feel how much he loved me.My skin crawled.This was the man I’d admired since I was sixteen. The one

Ruby’s POVI was already dressed by the time John walked in.Hair brushed. Face fresh. Sitting at the dressing table like I hadn’t spent the whole night trying to forget him.He smiled like nothing had happened.Came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.“Baby,” he said softly, “when did you go out?”I met his eyes in the mirror.“A while ago. I just needed some fresh air,” I said, keeping my voice even.He kissed my neck, his hand tugging lightly at my collar.My stomach turned.Before he could go further, I shifted in my seat. “John,” I said, carefully, “I was thinking… maybe I should get back into the company.”That got his attention.He pulled back just slightly, eyes on mine.I continued, steady. “I know I left everything to you before we got married, but I’ve been thinking about our future. About being more involved.”While I waited for him to speak, my thoughts ran fast.We built that company together from scratch.I’d naively thought that because we were in lo

Ruby’s POVI was still staring at him.Austin stood so calmly, like nothing out of the ordinary had just happened. Like he hadn’t just moved faster than anyone should be able to.“You were… down the street,” I said, breath catching. “I saw you. You weren’t anywhere near me.”He tilted his head, brows slightly raised. “What are you talking about? I was right beside you the whole time.”“No,” I said quickly. “No, you weren’t. You got out of the car way back there—then suddenly you were in front of me.”“Ruby,” he said slowly, gently, like I was the one acting strange, “you must’ve been in shock. That car nearly hit you. Maybe things looked blurry for a second. Your adrenaline’s still high.”I blinked at him.Was he serious?“I know what I saw,” I muttered.He gave me a soft smile, like he was trying to calm me down. “Then maybe you just got lucky. I stepped in at the right time. That’s all.”No.That wasn’t all.But the longer he looked at me like that—steady, confident, unfazed—the mor
