CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

—Jax—

I tucked the white cotton dress shirt into my slacks and reached for the drawer where I’d kept my cufflinks, sweeping a pair of black diamonds into my palm. I folded the cuffs one at a time and inserted the small links. After I was fully dressed I unbound the royal blue tie, turned, and faced the mirror.

I stood alone in the large closet, it was more of a room that housed my clothes, but they only filled one side. I was tall and needed to back away from the floor-length mirror to see how I looked. It was my typical dark suit, flashy, vibrant tie, and handkerchief. I finished the trinity knot, slid the dark hand stitched jacket on, and exited the bedroom expecting to see Bella. The room was quiet, the table a mess with breakfast dishes, but no Bella.

I approached the table annoyed that she hadn’t eaten the eggs and bacon Alessandra prepared. I slipped the large gold watch around my wrist and left the room closing the door shut behind me. Her door was closed, I listened for sound but heard nothing. I’d tasted her flesh, touched her innocence, and regretted it from the second I chose to have her.

Bella is defiant, disrespectful, impossible, and insolent. But she’s also beautiful, kind, and gentle. I consider knocking on her door but decide against it and walk toward the stairs.

“Jax,” her voice echoed behind me.

I stilled my steps when I heard Mickie speak.

“Bella.” Her presence shadows behind mine. “My brothers are here.”

I slipped my hand to the small of her back encouraging her to descend the stairs. Three men wearing suits stood in the entrance. Mickie, Adam, and Chase. “There he is,” Chase spoke.

“Who do we have here?” Adam said as he leered at Bella. “Hello.” He took her hand into his. “It’s been a long time, Bella.” His lips reached the flesh of her hand, and I instantly wanted to throw him against a wall. Adam wouldn’t consider for one moment that Bella was off limits because she was my wife.

“Adam,” Bella greeted as she pulled away. His eyes narrowed at her but she didn’t notice as her eyes slid to Chase. “Hello, I’m Bella,” she introduced herself politely while she ignored Adam.

“It’s a pleasure, Bella.” Chase stood his full six something height just an inch shorter than me remaining a respectful distance.

Chase is the ladies’ man for sure. They swoon at his feet… always have. But he’s kind to women. Never married, no children at twenty-six to my twenty-eight. Adam has a child, knocked up an Irish girl a few years back. Our very Catholic mother nearly fell over. He refused to make an honest woman out of her because he didn’t love her and convenience wasn’t in his vocabulary not even for our mother which nearly got him banned from our family. But Adam, of course, wormed his way back into our mother’s good graces.

“Would you like something to drink?” Bella asked.

“I’ll take some of Jax’s special stash.
