Chapter 69: Untitled Chapter
GIANNA
“Alright, I won’t contradict you. But you’re not a doctor Pet. Just forget I said anything I’m a little curious and worried about you is all,” Jax said though he’s carefully blank his emotions.
I got a strange feeling that that was exactly what he was hoping for, me to be pregnant.
“Why do I suddenly get the feeling that you want me to be pregnant? Why is it of interest to you?” I asked with narrowed eyes. He shrugged.
“As I’ve said earlier, I’m a bit curious and why wouldn’t it be of interest to me?” he nodded pointedly to my stomach. “If you are carrying a child, he or she would be either my niece or nephew.” I was flabbergasted.
“Wow, you know what, there’s something seriously wrong with your brain. While we are on the subject let me make it clear, if it so happens that I’m pregnant it would be none of your fucking business.”
“Now that’s not really true…” he started with a grin.
“Oh yes it is. It’s my body and it will be my child,” I cut him off getting in his face, glaring at him. He bent his head to my level.
“It would be Dane’s too, which also means I will be uncle Jax to them, uncle Jax I like the sound of that.” There was a teasing glint in his eyes, he was messing with me.
“Get out of my way Jax or I swear you won’t like the consequences of my actions,” I warned angrily.
“Careful Pet, I hear anger is bad for babies,” he said with a wink. He chuckles when I glared at him, my mouth flapping like a fish unable to get a word out.
“Nothing?” he arches his brow, “This is new.” Jerk he’s enjoying this, I can’t believe I thought he’s the laid-back brother, I roll my eyes.
“You’re such an asshole! I can’t believe that I thought you were…” The nice one, I ended in my mind, trying to move past him. He moved with me, blocking my way.
“That I was what?” he insisted, he’d come even closer than he was before. His broad smooth chest and tiny light brown nipples drawing my eyes,it took everything for me to not reach out and touch him.
“Get out of my way Jax,” I said, somehow my voice managed to come out strong, not shaking as I expected it to be.
“I will, but can you tell me if you have a suspect in mind? Now that you’ve had time to think, did you recall anything? Maybe someone who is in a position to know your personal details? Someone you trust?”
The sudden change of topic caught me off guard but somehow distracted me from my confusing feelings of anger/lust.
“No,” I replied, then I remembered that someone had betrayed me and my mood soured again. God, my emotions were on a constant roller-coaster and it’s not even that time of month.
“Besides, even if I do, It’s none of your business, it’s mine and I will take care of it,” I replied, that edge of coldness making my voice a little sharp.
I meant what I said, if someone from my family is involved I’ll take care of it myself, the only thing I need is to speak with the owner of NYME.
Jax's and Dane’s boss, they’d both been right in that I needed to talk to him and asked him some questions I needed answers to.
“I know you can handle it, but we’ll help,” he said, reaching out as though to touch me, but he pulled back thinking better of it.
“I don’t need your help, this is my problem.”
“It doesn’t matter, you’ll still get it,” he insisted
“You can consider it our apology for the part we played regardless of whether we knew or didn’t. We’re still accountable for kidnapping you,” he said with resolve, an edge of dominance in his voice.
It's going to be hard keeping them both at arms length for the moment but the instant we're out of here and back in society I'm taking control of my life and my problems.
Fortunately that wouldn't be hard considering we both live in different cities, what would be hard is shaking them off.
Or maybe I'll be lucky they'd be booked by a client and completely forget about me. Why that hurt was beyond me, my brain must be confused.
Really that's all it is. I ignored the hurt, ignored how tight my chest suddenly became.
“Listen, I'm going to stay up in the room until our ride is here. After today you need not concern yourself with my problems. I won't blame you for your part, since you didn't know I wasn't really your client, but from now on it's best you keep your distance from me,” I said with as much coldness as I could muster, I just couldn't do this right now.
Couldn't take the solemn look in his eyes or the contrasting feelings he wrought in me, it's better I cut him off now. I didn't give him time to respond.
I just pushed past him and walked upstairs hurriedly, this time he didn't try to stop me. I could feel his eyes on me, until I was out of his sight.
I refuse to think about the way his face had fallen before it went blank, I'm not going to wallow in some stupid sex induced infatuation like some pathetic woman.
Because now I know,…I know as well as I know my own name that I'm attracted to both brothers and isn't that the stupidest thing ever?
Having feelings for not one but two male escorts is the dumbest thing I'll ever do, and what worse is that it would go nowhere, for starters this feeling won't last. It's just my libido influencing my brain.
I mean I only just met them five or was it six days ago and though I've known them both biblically that isn't the same as truly knowing someone as such my feelings can't be anything other than pure unadulterated lust.
