MaverickShe arched her back and moaned in my mouth, her hands found their way to the back of my head again as she pressed my head to her breast, encouraging me to sucked them faster.She threw her head back the moment my free hand went to her other breast flickering her nipple before kneading it gently, eliciting another sweet moan from her lips.“Do you like that?” I asked, biting on her nipple, stopping to look at her reaction.She hissed with dissatisfaction as she straddle her legs around my waist, pressing my head back to her breast while grinding impatiently on me. I took her left nipple this time, licked on it while I pinched on the other which caused a jolt of electricity from her.Seeing the expected reaction from her, I incessantly fondled her chest and she subconsciously pressed herself forward. Contrary to my expectations, I feel her desires and longing becoming more and more intense. As if she urgently needed to alleviate the aching of her body.However, l refused to
Maverick“What are you doing in my house?” I asked, my expression was darkening over, it was her I want to forget, to say nothing of seeing, and here she is in front of me nonchalantly peeling and eating an apple as if she was in her home.It was exactly like that realistic projection from the other day, however, today's own was different as I could hear her heartbeat which confirms she's was really here, She didn't reply immediately, instead she pouted, and bit on the apple, chewing slowly before gulping it down with her eyes closed and a sultry moan escaped her lips.“Nothing honey, I just feel I'd stop by, considering the fact it has been a long time we've seen each other and I believe it's a normal thing if I missed you.” “Look Alexandra, even with all the camouflage you'd put up, I know it's you.” No woman would show up in my home, licking apple juice with her tongue and moaning shamelessly. “You don't have any right to be here, so I want you off my home at this instant.” She
FlashbackMaverickI slung on my pullover, zipping it down, my hands in both pocket as I walked; no escape is the right words, escaping from reality, from everything, it feels suffocating, and wandering about for days helped no shits, the harsh weather of the winter felt nothing but a normal day to me, no coldness could get to the inferno coursing through my veins, threatening to burst out anytime like a ticking time bomb.My stomach growls in hunger, in the light that it has been over a week that I'd been walking, no, wandering aimlessly, like clouds without rest and without having anything that is. “Hey kiddo! Look where you're going if you wanna die, just do it elsewhere, not In Front of my car! Fucking shits.” A driver yelled at me pulling me out of my trance as I glared at the car which has already drove away. Averting my gaze from it, I could feel it raging in my bones, wanting to bursts out and give the car a chase grabbed him and pulled him out of the car, and eventually pr
Maverick Slamming my hand on the wheel, I growled facepalming myself and sighing loudly. Just why would she run away without any notice? It's pretty understandable, I mean I would feel the same if I woke up to meet Alexandra, and considering the woman's personality, I knew her enough to understand exactly what she's capable of. The shrill sounds of my phone ringing cut through the silence, I huffed and reached to it, glancing at the screen, the non enthusiastic expression on my face was written off immediately when I saw the name displaying on it, my expression transforming from annoyance to urgency. “Have you gotten any leads about her yet?” I asked impatiently, waiting for Alex to confirm it so I could drive there immediately. “Are you sure she disappeared this morning?” “Why would I say otherwise?” I growled with frustration. “I know… just that it's kind of strange how I couldn't find any traces of her just like four years ago. I tapped into almost every surveillance
EmberI woke up to the sounds of my annoying alarm, god's, it's making my head throb with ache, i groggily dragged myself from the bed, the ache that settled in my head was nowhere near the dull ache in my heart, throbbing every single times I woke up to an empty bed, in this familiar room, on the familiar covers— familiar bed. I can't believe it's over a week already.Every single day, every single time. Nothing but pure torture.I yawned but my hand quickly flew to my forehead, holding as if it would numb the pain I felt in there somehow but I knew better. It has been a week, after doing one thing I cowardly knew how to do best; running in every situation.I never could've thought I would go back to Arizona that soon, but not only do I go back, I got myself entangled with the man from one of my darkest nights. I was broken, sad… gripped by the emotions that flooded my mind, and somehow I went to him in the rain that night, drank, drank till my consciousness slipped away from me, t
Ember Going out of my room to the sitting room, I wasn't wearing a slipper, just my socks, I could hear chatters and giggles from the kitchen, I walked into the kitchen to see Lyra and Alpha Jordan, Kai was sitting on a little chair just right inside the kitchen beside Alpha Jordan. “Mummy.” he squealed, noticing me and get down, running up to meet me I pat his head, walking to the kitchen to Lyra who was busy cooking. “Lazarus wakes.” She mumbled wrapping an omelet into an edible fold and walked towards Alpha Jordan, shoving it in his mouth. “Mmn tastes great.” He praised. “I know.” She smiles proudly, and gives some to Kai. “It's delicious.” I folded my hands leaning against the counter and reminded her “Don’t I get to have any?” “Oh… Ember, my sweet darling, you can have your mouth opened as long as you want, it's just that my food won't be going into your mouth.” “Aw at least be nicer, are you being biased now?” “I'm being as much as I can… I mean it's def
Ember I opened the door to see a familiar face at the door smiling broadly at me. I turned back to look in the direction of the kitchen. I could imagine Lyra feeling proud of herself, does she really think of me as a sadist? And what if she has something important to do right now, but had to come here in respect of Lyra. “Erica… it's good to see you.” I welcomed her with a warm smile, stepping aside and opening the door wider so she would be able to come in. “Boss.” She sat the bag she was holding down then she jumped on me smiling broadly and embracing me tightly, almost to the point of suffocation. “I've told you a lot of times it's Ember.” I rolled my eyes pulling back and closing the door behind her, she grabbed her bag hurriedly walking behind me. “I wasn't expecting it to be you.” I started fluffing a chair pillow and eventually sitting down, with the pillow pressed on my laps. “Hi Lyra.” She calls, staring at the kitchen door. “How are you doing my sweet Erica?
Ember Packing my hair in a loose ponytail I applied red lipstick, I wasn't much of a fan of red, but that should do for today. Grabbing a jacket for myself I slipped it on the crop top I wore, and smoothing it out. I picked my phone from the dresser, tapping and looking at the screen to see it was almost 8pm, slipping it at the back of my pocket. I looked around for something I missed. Everything checked, taking one more look at myself, I was about to go out of the room when my eye caught the artificial snowing mini rose gifted to me by Erica, a sigh escaped my lips, and talking about Erica, she left a while ago insisting I attend her birthday party, left with no choice I was dressing to go there. She said it'll be celebrated in some pubs, although I don't exactly have any good memories in a pub, or good at drinking. But it's her birthday, and she wanted me there. “Going already?” Lyra looked up from the laptop in front of her, she had a pair of glasses on, yeah I know what you
Ember“So… now that the yacht’s gone, what are we supposed to do?” I asked, glancing around at the wide-open water stretching as far as I could see.“Wait for it, I guess,” he replied, way too casually. “Probably just ran low on gas.”I narrowed my eyes, noting the way he smirked ever so slightly. “Is this some kind of setup? Was this your big surprise?”He chuckled, shaking his head. “Not at all. This was definitely not part of the plan. But look—it’ll come back. We just have to wait.”I shifted uneasily, trying to mask my growing anxiety with humor. “What if we end up living out some kind of real-life Jaws nightmare?”He raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Seriously? You’re a werewolf—you’re supposed to be the one scaring off predators.”I rolled my eyes, smirking back. “Yeah, well, if wolves can eat fish, why shouldn’t a shark be able to enjoy some wolf?”He let out a soft laugh, sweeping his dripping hair back. “You’re something else.”I swallowed, glancing back at the empty horiz
“Do you want to take a sit over there over a cup of wine?”“Alcoholic?” I asked the man preparing to say no, there's no way I'm drinking wine that contain alcohol, not after my experiences with alcohol. “Fruity, it's tastes like an alcohol, but it has not even 1% in it, do you want to give it a try?” “No harm in trying.” I chuckled.The Yatch had slowed down now, in the middle of the sea, “Why aren't ships or Yatch other than this one moving anyway?” I asked curiously moving to the swim platform. I was expecting to see Yatch or cruise ships moving around but none, I had noticed at the beach that there were lesser people compared to how crowded beach used to. “The whole place is ours for today, and don't tell me you're dunking your legs in the water in that?” He pointed to my dress.I stared down embarrassed to look at my flowing black gown, I laughed awkwardly, “I will be changing that.” I never thought about that sincerely.“You should, there's a lot to choose from in the first se
Ember I thought I will be able to pull this off successfully, however I'm not so very confident right now.I was wondering what it'll be like with him for the first time as not a business partner… om that topic, what are we really? Logically, he admitted taking a likeness to me, and I might've like him too… no, I likes him too.God's I couldn't even tell exactly when that happens. Inhaling, and exhaling. The sand was cool beneath my feet as I stepped onto the beach. A handful of people were at the shoreline, their voices mingling with the distant crash of waves. My eyes scanned the place, searching for him but there was no sign of him, even though he'd texted he will be here at 6pm, and I'd done a good job spending extra minutes at home to not appear overly excited and too over the date with him, in the end i was still the first to get here.However, my search was set aside when I caught a glimpse of a white yacht anchored a little further out,It was beautiful, I admit, but when
Ember“Ember, hurry up and get out here! We’re starving!” Lyra’s voice rang out from the dining table, teasing but loud enough to make her point.I could almost see her rolling her eyes, a little grin tugged at my lips as I called back, “On my way!”I arranged the dishes on the tray, carrying them to the dining table, where Lyra and Kai were already seated.As I entered, Lyra’s gaze swept over me, and she let out an exaggerated sigh. “Finally,” she muttered, rolling her eyes, her voice filled with drama as she continued sarcastically, “We were this close to death.” she indicated with her fingertips.“Oh please, Lyra,” I growled playfully.Just then, Alpha Jordan walked closer, glancing at her with a raised eyebrow. “What’s going on?”Lyra shot me a mischievous look before turning to him. “It’s Ember,” she said, grinning. “She’s been holed up in the kitchen, smiling like an idiot. I almost got chills seeing her like that, considering how cold she’s been lately.”Alpha Jordan chuckled
MaverickShe broke into a scream as I held her in my arms and leaped off the building. But her palms quickly covered her mouth, muffling the sound when she realized she was safe. We glided through the air until our feet touched the ground, thankfully no one was paying attention to the building, so I was sure no one saw.“That’s insane! You should’ve warned me or something.” She frowned, folding her arms as she walked away.I quickened my pace to catch up. “Did I scare you?” I reached for her hand to slow her down, but she stayed silent, ignoring me completely.Was she upset? I know I shouldn't have done that, she must've been taken off guard, thus leading to her annoyance. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that… I’m really sorry.” I apologized, reaching for her arm.But I was stunned when she suddenly burst out laughing, giving me a playful shove. “You’re apologizing? I was only pretending! Honestly, that was wild—and amazing too, I must admit. I mean, we were practically flying!” She
PresentEmber“So, she wasn't lying when she said you're married?” tilting my head, I asked curiously. Honestly, I wanted to know more, even though I knew I shouldn’t be asking. I shouldn’t be digging into his past, but a part of me still wanted to know.“Yes... she didn't lie. But you have to trust me; I don’t have anything to do with her anymore.”“I guess.”“Yeah…” he replied, and then silence filled the air between us—heavy, almost to the point of suffocation.I lay back on the concrete floor beside him, my hand nearly touching his. I eventually tucked it behind my head, mirroring his posture.We just looked at the sky, feeling the breeze brush our faces—soothing, calming. This was exactly why I loved coming here to clear my head when I felt overwhelmed.I couldn’t help but ask myself at that moment, ‘Do I really deserve happiness? Do I deserve to be happy, to experience it again?’Lyra wanted me to be happy, Alpha Jordan wanted that too, and I’m sure if Derek were alive, he would
MaverickFlashbackI exploded, bolting out of the cabin. The consuming rage burned through my veins like wildfire, eating everything it touched—my reasoning, my thoughts—clouding them like a fog in the woods, wrapping everything in its misty embrace. The trees blurred together as I sprinted into the forest, my heart pounding in my chest as if it wanted to burst out and escape from me.But the voice whispering in my head to turn back, to wrap my hands around her throat. Make her pay didn't stop.I had never felt anything like this before. I had never stopped from killing my prey for someone, and she made it possible.That thought alone infuriated me—him rather, the rampaging untamed beast within me. He wanted out so he could go back and kill her, along with Mariam or whatever she might have called the lady whom she stopped me from killing.I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into my palms. No, no, no. Not again.For the second time that day, I wrestled with the monster inside
Ember Maverick's unexpected words knocked the wind out of me. I sat there, paralyzed, my hand was still firmly locked in his grasp. “If it was just a one-night thing-” he said, his voice barely above whisper, “-would I have dropped everything and come here to Arizona just to see you?” He exhaled and continued, “You kept running every single time, leaving me worried and distressed. Don’t even try to pretend you haven’t felt this between us.” His gaze held mine, intense and unrelenting, making my palms grow sweaty, even under the chill of the wind up here. My heart raced and my pulse pounded in my neck. My voice was stuck in my throat, unable to form words. His thumb traced gentle circles on my palm, sending shivers down my spine. It was a tender touch, but with an undercurrent of possessiveness. I should have pushed him away and run, but his words were compelling, believable. Talking in that tone, he was doing it again, giving me false hope—helplessly and relentlessly breaking thr
EmberHe came for me? As much as that would've been a response I wanted, however it annoys me more that this man, regardless of having a wife, still comes to look for me, and still boldly claims that he was here for me. I shouldn't be surprised, provided that I've had such terrible luck with men— even the fated one by the moon goddess had given me nothing but betrayal and heartache.I stepped out of the studio passageway, craving some fresh air and space to clear my head. I made for the stairs, my mind was occupied by my growing thoughts as I descended, each step was nothing but a deliberate escape from the tension lingering after me, But then I heard his footsteps behind me, and my gut twisted into knots. I quickened my pace, not ready to face him yet. And I'm glad he didn't say anything as he would've done on a normal day. And sincerely, his silence is much appreciated right now.I stepped outside, letting the city swallow me whole, My eyes flew to the towering ten storey buildin
