The atmosphere was tense this morning as Jaxon was fixated on Mia, seated to the side of the table and facing the man giving her a hunter’s gaze.When Mia discovered Jaxon’s ravenous gaze that never stopped tracking every small move she inadvertently made, her body throbbed down to her spine. Starting with when she places a bottle of salt and pepper on the table or when she bites her bottom lip before deciding on a breakfast.Mia averted Jaxon's gaze, which appeared to want to stretch across the table if they were alone there. Fortunately, she was surrounded by numerous security as Emily was making their lunch in the kitchen.Mia cleared her throat, tired of being gazed at incessantly, and attempted to cool the environment that Jaxon had purposefully inflamed.“Are you going out tonight?” Mia inquired, without moving her head from the dish on the table, because she couldn’t face looking into Jaxon’s dark, desire-filled eyes.“Why are you avoiding me, Dolcezza?”Mia sighed in response
Mia went to find a phone after witnessing Jaxon’s car drive away, and luckily the network was back up and normal.On the third ring, a male voice on the other end answered the phone.“Hello.”Mia bit her nails, trying to shake the humiliation of asking a question that seemed highly personal to her.“Hello,” Mia said, clearing her throat and trying to speak casually. “I’m sorry for calling too early,” she added cheerfully. “However, there is something I’d like to inquire about... reproduction.”Mia cannot say “sex” in front of a foreign man, although the man is highly professional and frequently hears the phrase.Mia was concerned because the other end of the line was silent, but when she heard a manly, clear voice, she waited patiently.“Yes, Mrs. Bradwood, what’s the matter?”She’s still not ready to be addressed as such. Mia wanted to contradict him, but she was Mrs. Bradwood now. She wants to be called Heart rather than old-school Bradwood, but she has to receive all packages from
Salvador approved the meeting place which is not far from Denver’s downtown. The secret place is slightly hidden. Jaxon had to use a different vehicle to avoid being seen when he met the man.Dune Fontana and other Red Cage members arrived later and performed the same behavior.The meeting room was empty except for six people.Jaxon, Dune, Rey, Nicko, Gideon, and the host, Salvador.They appeared to be debating a strategy for entering the Famiglia circle without causing any unnecessary noise, but first, everyone decided to settle the question of who wished to hurt Mia.“Have you discovered out who did it?” Salvador said, rolling the dice he hadn't had time to clean before the visitors came.Jaxon sat with one leg on his knee for an extended time, his head nodding faintly, and he appeared bored.“Mia revealed this morning that she discovered she was allergic to a specific kind of flower while attending her mother’s funeral.”Nicko and the others paid close attention as they heard that.
When Mia goes downstairs, the safe house appears deserted, and she looks around in awe that there are no guards or maids present, making Mia concerned that something has happened to cause people to disappear.Mia crossed the living room with trepidation as soon as she heard voices from the kitchen.Her heart, racing wildly before, calmed down when she realized Jaxon was there.“Oh my goodness, Jaxson! You just scared the hell out of me!” Mia grumbled as she approached, her face irritated.Standing behind the kitchen island, Jaxon raised an eyebrow at Mia while holding a mug of coffee in his hand. His dark eyes followed her from head to toe. And so it goes three more times, making Mia restless.“What’s the deal with your stare?” Mia muttered as she took a step back.Jaxon smiled lopsidedly and placed the mug in his hand on the table before finally walking out from behind the kitchen island and very carefully approaching Mia. She appeared to be about to run.Mia chose to leave quickly a
Jaxon looked at Mia’s sleeping expression. Her honey hair flowing on the pillow gave her the appearance of being sensual and elegant without having to try too hard.After the session in the kitchen, they went to bed and did the same activity twice.Mia appears to be exhausted and has dozed off. She squirmed slightly when Jaxon touched her bangs, which were beginning to grow long. Jaxon’s hand froze in the air for a split second when he noticed Mia’s eyes trembling as if they were about to open, but the woman didn’t wake up after some time.Jaxon’s handsome face was etched with a smile as he rubbed her cheek to see how far Mia would be disturbed, but no matter how many times he touched her, Mia fell asleep soundly.“Dolcezza,” Jaxon said softly as he kissed her.Mia squirmed slowly before turning her face in the opposite direction, causing him laugh softly. Especially when Mia is delirious and says something that sounds like an incoherent mumble.“I’ll be gone for a while,” Jaxon said,
When one of Jaxon subordinate and the others saw Jaxon arrive, they immediately stood up and greeted him.“How is Joe doing?” As he passed the men in black suits, Jaxon inquired.“He can walk around the room, but the doctor is still resisting his desire to get out of the hospital as soon as possible,”his subordinate replied as he followed Jaxon into the treatment room.Jaxon opened the door silently, his attention drawn to Joe practicing push-ups on the floor near the foot of the bed.The man was dressed only in hospital trousers with white and gray stripes, with no top, and some parts of his body were still bandaged, including his shoulders and chest.Jaxon raised his hand in the air, signaling his subordinate to wait outside.When he saw this signal, he slowly backed up and returned to his station on guard.Jaxon walked slowly and quietly, closing the door behind him, not wanting to disturb Joe, who was busy with physical exercise while his body was still injured.He chose to sit on
After spending too much time at the safe house, Mia feels bored. Finally, she began hunting for Jaxon’s whereabouts. Typically, the male spends more time in the workstation located beneath the stairs.Mia hurriedly approached the door and knocked again.“Come in, Dolcezza. You don’t have to knock first,” said a masculine voice from inside, causing Mia to immediately open the door, which was not locked.Mia’s head got stuck first, while half of her body was still outside.Jaxon was sitting at a table by the window with piles of files around him. His head was down, looking busy reading something.“How did you know that I was the one outside?” Mia asked as she folded her arms, leaned against the frame, and left the room door wide open.Jaxon’s eyebrow rose to his forehead, and he pushed aside the document he was reading and raised his head to pay full attention to the pajama-clad woman in front of him.‘I thought she would come in lingerie.’Jaxon thought as he pulled the collar because
Mia went downstairs after she finished speaking with Slaine. She knocked nervously on the door of Jaxon’s room, which she had entered. Mia couldn’t help but follow Slaine’s advice and make an offer because she desperately wanted to get out of the safe house.And she repeated it, this time with a sorrowful heart: “I hope Jaxon doesn’t ask for something extravagant.”“Come in, Dolcezza,” said the man from inside, adding, “How many times do I have to tell you not to knock?”Mia entered the room by opening the door.Jaxon is sitting quietly at his desk, hands on a tablet, awaiting a conference call that has been delayed due to her presence.Only half of the documents on the table were still there. While Mia is speaking with Slaine, Jaxon appears to have completed some work.“I’d like to make an offer,” Mia said flatly, drawing Jaxon’s attention until one of his brows rose, his head tilted slightly to the left, and a smirk appeared on his lips.‘This is a terrible idea!’Mia’s mind immedia
