The Billionaire Biker's Plus Size Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

~JADE’S P.O.V~Brandon set my heavy leather briefcase squarely on the mahogany desk, his voice a steady drone as he rapidly ran through the day's back-to-back schedule before slipping out. The light click of the door leaving Myra and me alone in the sudden silence of the office made the air feel instantly thick.I kept my gaze locked on my laptop screen, deliberately avoiding her direction. I had spent the entire night training my mind on how to treat her like an absolute stranger. If she wanted to act like the perfect, detached secretary and pretend that unforgettable night had never happened, I could play that game better than anyone.I would give her exactly what she was asking for: the cold, unyielding boss.Slowly, I spun my leather chair around, letting my attention drift toward her.She stood near the edge of my desk, her fingers tightly gripped around two cardboard coffee cups. But her mind was clearly miles away. Her eyes were fixed blindly on the sprawling cityscape beyon

Myra's P.O.VI returned to the living room after finally calming my shattered nerves. Gathering my things quickly, I zipped up my laptop bag, finally ready to leave.Jade watched me the entire time, the half-eaten apple still resting in his hand as he leaned his hip against the edge of the couch.I cleared my throat, trying to dispel the awkward weight in the air."Thank you for dinner. I'll be taking my leave now," I said, adjusting the strap of my bag over my shoulder."Okay." He rose from his spot, tossing the apple core into the nearby trap can. "Would you like me to give you a ride home?" he asked, his grey eyes searching mine."No, I'll be fine. A cab is easier."He walked with me toward the front door, his long, unhurried strides matching my pace."Myra," he suddenly called out, his voice dropping into a smooth register.I stopped right at the threshold and looked back over my shoulder."Yes?""You never came by the club to pick up your car the other day," he noted, tilting

Myra's P.O.VWhen I got back home, I found the apartment completely empty. Landon had left since God knew when.The only things waiting for me on the kitchen counter were a scrap of paper and a sleek black cell phone. I had hoped I could spend some quality time with my brother, so I certainly was not expecting him to disappear again this soon after I had only just gotten him back from the dead.Right as I was about to do my laundry, I picked up the note one last time, deciding to read it again before getting rid of it for good.*I'm sorry I have to disappear on you again, Myra, but I would only be putting you in danger if I stayed at your place any longer. I'm really sorry for not reaching out to you all these years, and I hope one day things can go back to how they were before. I can be your big brother again. I'm leaving a phone along with this note. If I ever need to reach you, I'll call you from that line. It's secure and safe. No one can trace it. Please burn this note once y

Myra's P.O.V"...and that concludes everything for the week, Mr. Dantrix," I said, holding the iPad down as I finished the full run-through of the office schedule.It was apparently something Jade liked to do every Friday before he closed for the day. He preferred to go through the week's activities to see how he could improve his schedule for the next week."Thank you, Myra," Jade muttered, giving his leather chair a single, smooth spin. "Finally, I can start enjoying my weekend effective immediately."He seemed to be in a very good mood today. I was tempted to ask him what had put him in such a fine spirit, but I quickly suppressed my curiosity."I guess that means I get to close early today, right?" I asked."Yeah, but before you leave, I should congratulate you," he said with a smile."Congratulate me for what?" I questioned, slightly confused as to what I was being rewarded for.His grin stretched even wider, pulling back to reveal a perfect set of gleaming white teeth."Fo

Myra's P.O.V"Stop overthinking," he murmured, his voice sounding deep and sinfully tempting.His face slowly drew closer to mine, and I did not pull back; I did the very opposite by inching closer to him. When our lips met, it felt like an electric spark, the kind that gave a hint of excitement and vulnerability at the same time.His arms wrapped around my waist, and he pressed me against his body, while my fingers locked into his hair.As the kiss deepened, the cool rush of mint from his mouth clouded my tongue. Beneath it lingered something warm and faintly sweet, like dark chocolate. That made me press closer, craving more of that intoxicating mix."Um, Jade... sir," a woman said from behind Jade.My eyes snapped open and, like a trance cut off, I broke the kiss. Jade's arms still held me firmly, like he wasn't ready to let go.His frame was blocking my view, so I couldn't see the woman who had spoken."Did you forget how to knock?" Jade snapped."I'm sorry. I knocked but no o
