CHAPTER 10MAZIKEEN. “Oh my God! Why'd you even think that?!” Linda exclaimed,half amused and half surprised as she stared at me. “I meant ‘vacation with family’ as in with his three sisters,their husbands and their children….”“Well you said he was on a vacation with his family…” I shrugged, “naturally I thought you meant he was with HIS wife, and children.”Linda laughed again, shaking her head as she looked ahead.We were standing in the middle of the bustling studio, watching the costume department get the kids ready for their next round of pictures and videos for a popular cereal company.“Mr. Black isn't married yet…” she started, “he'd come close to doing so last year,but the wedding was called off.”I refused to ponder the reason why the fact that he was single made me want to sigh.Because the assumption that he was married had done nothing to curb my intense attraction to him.“Well you can't blame me for assuming, you didn't explain what kind of fami

CHAPTER 11JORDAN “That new PA of yours...”I kept my head down,and my eyes focused on the computer screen as I typed. “What about her?”Mother didn't immediately respond,but I was already used to her weaponised silence,so I refused to look at her as I waited for a response.“I don't like her.”“Too bad…I'm not firing her.”She scoffed,and her heavy perfume assaulted my senses as she leaned forward. “There's something evil about her…I could sense it. She's probably one of those dirty,bloodsuckers.”I finally looked up, making sure to keep on my mask of irritated indifference as I stared into her dark eyes.“Miss Smith is not a vampire,I'd have known that immediately I saw her.” I knew Maze was something though…a hybrid perhaps?I wondered silently. Or perhaps a siren, that—besides her apparent gorgeousness–would certainly explain the way my blood sang whenever she was around,like an invisible magnet was drawing me towards her.Maybe I could ask her,but what if

CHAPTER 12MAZIKEEN “Alexa,play Amy Winehouse.”“Playing Amy Winehouse…”I let out a sigh as I fell into one of the couches,just as the intro to Back to Black rang out through the living room.It was a normal Sunday afternoon, I was as bored as ever, Graylin had been in his study all morning, and I had nothing to do.I'd gotten used to the boredom—or so I thought.But that emptiness I started feeling a couple months back,had continued to grow steadily–coupled with the changes I felt and the nightmaresThey'd been random at first, recurring maybe once every month,and usually before the moon got full,and also usually around the time Graylin took his monthly trips.But now,they were more frequent; each one similar to the last,and always ending with me being chased by a large,black, wolfish creature.I prepared to instruct Alexa again just as the song came to an end,but Rehab by Amy quickly started,and I paused to ascertain if I liked it enough.The buzzing phone beside

CHAPTER 13JORDAN I muttered a curse under my breath as my twentieth call went unanswered.My mother was by no means a bluffer,but she'd never actively tried to keep me away from my baby sister–she’d always threatened to,but…I bolted up from the couch as I began to pace around the room.It was almost 9 PM and I'd started the call marathon at exactly 7.But here I was,worried about two different women; Maze.She'd suddenly stopped responding to my texts and although I'd been tempted to call her–or even drive over to her house,I didn't.Tomorrow though,if she wasn't at work,no force would be strong enough to stop me from driving over to Graylin's house,even if it meant having a physical confrontation with him because of it.I raised my phone and dialed mom's number again,this time the call was answered on the third ring and I clutched my phone tighter as I heard my mother's voice in the background.“Jordan!!” Anastasia cheered,her tiny voice filled with excitem

CHAPTER 14MAZIKEEN. The nightmares were getting worse.They were to a point where I could barely get in four hours of sleep each night—a sign that the moon would soon be full,which meant a few days without Graylin.I smiled as I tapped on the screen of the iPad, setting up the rest of Jordan's schedules.Graylin's absence would give me an opportunity to finally hang out with Lin.I’d continued to give her excuses about my constant refusal,and one time during the past week,she asked me whether my fiancé had anything to do with my reluctance.And of course I told her no.It was Thursday and Jordan was in a conference meeting with some of the company's brokers when my phone dinged with a message notification from Linda.I quickly swiped away from the website I'd been stalking Jordan on and clicked open her text.“Your fiancé is here!”My heart pounded in my ears as another message came in.“I don't like him, perhaps it's ‘cos of the hostility between him and th

CHAPTER 15JORDAN “Yeah…it was just a silly lie.”Her easy admission undid me more than I wanted,and before I could stop myself, I'd already reached down to grasp her hand.“Why?”Maze shrugged. “I…it just happened,I didn't know what else to do.”“You didn't have to lie for him,he's not a kid.” I told her and she looked away,the pulse in her neck beating erratically.“Is this something you always do?”“What? Lie to protect the man I love with all my heart?”My chest tightened painfully at her response,of course she loved him. Why else would she be wearing his ring?But did he feel the same way about her though? Did she know who he truly was? Why'd Graylin want to marry a girl who…I wasn't sure what she was. Human? She didn't seem like it,but…“Contrary to what you might be thinking,” Maze's voice cut through my inner monologue, “this isn't usually a regular occurrence.”“Are you afraid of him?” I asked and she paled slightly,her lips curling up in a d

CHAPTER 16.MAZIKEEN. “Lunch time,Miss Smith.” Jordan called as he exited his office that afternoon.“Yeah,but not for you,” I replied with a small smile. “You have a meeting with your attorneys by twelve sharp,and that's in—” I glanced at my watch, smothering a smile at his irritated frown,“---three minutes.”“Reschedule it, we're having lunch together.”I hid another smile as I shook my head. “I already have plans with Linda, we're eating at the cafeteria…oh and I'm not rescheduling your meeting.”“I'm your boss,” he stated and a chuckle escaped me as I arranged the files on my desk and shut my laptop before standing.“True,but you pay me to make you do things…”“That's not what I pay you for.”“...you don't wanna do,” I added, ignoring his interruption as I walked around the desk, unable to stop my legs from moving towards him.“I already rescheduled this meeting three times.”“I don't care, do it again.”“No.”His eyes narrowed and the air hummed with th

CHAPTER 17MAZIKEEN. “I…I do understand you, but then…”“But then what?!”Again,I felt the gazes directed at us,and I adjusted in my seat as I pushed the half eaten salad away and leaned closer.“Lower your voice,Lin.”She seemed to suddenly understand that we weren't alone,casting a look around the filled cafeteria before focusing on me again.“You need to leave him.”“I don't know whether to laugh at that or not,” I replied,my tone drier than I intended. “We're getting married in two months, invitations are getting sent out next week,I can't just cancel everything.”“Yes you can.” She insisted in a calm but firm voice. “You should, please…he's a,” she lowered her voice to a whisper, “he's most likely a pedophile.”“No he's not.” I retorted hotly and she slapped a hand against her forehead, frustration oozing from her like a slowly leaking balloon.I could smell it, almost reach out and touch it as it stretched thickly between us.“You know what?” I began wit

CHAPTER 42 MAZIKEEN “Maze Smith?”I nodded at the brown skinned woman, immediately captivated by her perfect smile and dentition.“I'm Dr.Woods ,but you can just call me Tania.”“Thank you,Dr…Tania,” I said as I shook the hand she offered before moving to sit opposite her.“I hope this doesn't come off as offensive but…” I paused, filtering my next words. “I was kinda expecting to see someone much older than you are…not that I think you're unqualified for your job because of your youthfulness but I…I…”“That's okay,” she cut in with a gentle smile,the full bun of dark coils behind her head, bobbing as she shook her head.“You don't have to explain, Miss Smith…I understand,I do get that a lot too.”“Oh,” I adjusted in my seat then sighed. “That's good then.”I watched as the pretty lady flipped her notepad open and scribbled something in it before raising her head and fixing me with a cool, attentive look.“Tell me your biggest fear,Maze.”“Oh…um…” all of a

CHAPTER 41JORDAN “Maze?”She looked up from the running tap,her eyes locking onto mine with an expression that wrenched at my heart.“I can handle anything but your silence…just..just talk to me?”Maze blinked then shook her head slightly as it to clear it.“Your hand…it looked like mine…from that night.” I watched her throat bob as she swallowed.Then she moved closer, raising the wet towel to my face and gently dabbing it at a cut I didn't even know was there.“I’m sorry.”Her brows furrowed and genuine confusion flashed in her honey coloured eyes.“Why'd you be sorry?”“I scared you…”Maze shook he head again,“I'm not scared,Jordan.”She pulled back and took my hand, dragging it under the sink and turning the tap on again.“I'm…surprised? Confused? Curious?” She held my hand under the running water with one hand,and with the other,she reached up and brushed my hair out of my eyes.“Your grew longer.”My jaw ached as I ground my teeth and nodded. “Yeah,

CHAPTER 40MAZIKEEN. “Stay here.” Jordan said as he quickly rounded the desk, hurrying towards the door.“I'm the one he's looking for,” I replied, climbing off the desk and pushing my dress down as I hurried after him.“Let me handle this.” I said after I caught his arm,and he spun around to face me.Jordan's brows furrowed,as he shook his head. “No…no,I won't let him get even an inch close to you aga… ”“Mazikeen,I'm sorry!!” Graylin yelled from outside and I could hear the buzz of other voices too.“Come out now and I won't expose your dirty secreeet,” Graylin sing-songed and I turned a pleading gaze to Jordan.“Please,let me just talk to him?”For seconds that felt like hours, Jordan stared into my eyes…searching–thinking.Then he nodded and pulled the door open.I hurried out of his office, feeling grateful that we’d already dressed up before Graylin's…whatever it is he was doing.“There she is…” Graylin cheered as I stepped out, lowering the gun from hi

CHAPTER 39JORDAN Linda's face lit up as Maze and I walked into the lobby. “Oh my gosh!Maze!!” she exclaimed as she rounded the marble desk, rushing towards us with her arms already open and stretched towards Maze.“I'm so glad you're back to work!” “I am glad to be back,” Maze replied as they hugged, “but then I won't be staying long…”Linda pulled back and examined Maze's face, “your first session's today, right?”“Yeah,” Maze replied. “Kinda nervous.”“Don't be…you look great,I'm sure you'll do great too.”Maze chuckled sweetly, “I don't see the correlation,but I love you.”Linda hugged her again,then pulled back just as fast and turned to me.“Good morning Mr. Black,” she said.“Morning Lin,” I murmured, suddenly distracted by the buzz of the phone in my hand-a call from Mathew.“Miss Smith,” I called and her eyes flitted to mine, knocking the breath out of me.“I'll be up soon,” she told me when I gestured to ‘up’ as I raised the phone to my

CHAPTER 38JORDAN I was never going to get tired of telling Maze how beautiful she was, infact…sometimes I felt like it wasn't enough to just tell her…there had to be a better way to show her.And as she moved to sit on the marble top table,I had to fight to keep my control and not scare her with the intensity of my need.I would never be able to let go the way I could,but that was okay,any part of her she choose to give me was enough.“Pull your legs up,” I said,my voice sounding more like a croak.And then she did that.“Maze…” I groaned as I felt pre-cum bead up at the head of my shaft and my knees wobbled as she moved her thong aside so I was staring at the glistening slit of her pussy.I couldn't hold back anymore,my movements jerky and rough as I pulled off my shirt and moved between her parted legs,my mouth descending on hers with an urgency bothering on desperation.My hands snapped around her waist, holding her in place as our tongues tangled,then m

CHAPTER 37MAZIKEEN “No,not yet.” Jordan answered softly, “but I know he will,we just need to give him time.”I swallowed, glancing down at my almost empty plate and feeling grateful that I'd at least eaten enough before my sudden appetite loss.“You're right,Maze.”I picked up the glass of water and raised it to her mouth, “right about what?”“There's something special about you.”I side eyed him as I drained the glass--and he looked like he was on the edge of a chuckling fit.“Why're you trying to be sweet in the middle of an important conversation?”“I'm not…” he pressed his lips together and exhaled through his nose. “I'm talking about what you told me the other day, about…feeling like you have some sort of energy…inside of you.”“Ohhh,” I nodded. “See how fast the wounds healed? Barely a full week.” I didn't mind scars but I was glad all the injuries had healed with very minimal ones.Jordan nodded,then tilted his head to the side as he studied me silently.

CHAPTER 36JORDAN Maze's quietness bothered me more than any tantrum or vehemence could have.The way she calmly focused on the ceremony until it was all over,but still sparing Anna a genuine smile when she ran over to use with her yellow belt.“No,I'll call a ride.” Was her response when I mentioned driving Anna to my mom's before taking us home,but at least she’d gone back to the penthouse... I'd half expected her to announce that she wasn't going to stay with me anymore.I exhaled deeply as I pulled out the day old cooked rice from the fridge and moved back to the kitchen.It'd been about three hours since I returned and although I could hear Maze moving around the room up the short flight of stairs–could practically smell the lavender musk of her scent—I left her alone.After two hours of work in my study,I'd decided to make some food.I paused mid-pouring the oil into the pan, “Damn,I should've talked to her earlier.”She'd probably think I was being

CHAPTER 35MAZIKEEN “Okay then.”Jordan's long fingers gripped mine, firmly as he led me towards the main entrance of the academy,his strides confident and purposeful.The urge to scrape my fingers down his back—was almost unbearable—holding his hand wasn't enough and the sight of the dark green knit sweater stretched across his muscled back, wasn't helping matters.God,he looked so good. His hair wonderfully tousled and styled,and he smelled sooo good,a warm,earthy citrusy smell that felt like a soothing caress.I felt the gold band of the ring on his index finger as he squeezed my fingers reassuringly and my gaze fell to the subtle stretch of his jeans,fitted perfectly around his waist.Perhaps I was a vain woman but I really, really liked how Jordan Black looked in his jeans…in all his clothes.‘You like how he looks without them too,’ a tiny voice whispered and I chewed on my bottom lip as images of that first night flashed through my mind,how he felt und

CHAPTER 34 JORDAN “Are you alright?”Maze chuckled but it sounded nothing like her usual ones. “I'm fine..I’m just…nervous about meeting your sister, that's all.”I shot her a look, trying to keep my apprehension hidden.Had I done something wrong?Did she no longer want to stay with me? Did she miss that bloody bastard?I swallowed, slowing down as the taillight of the car in front flashed.She'd been a bit too quiet since after the day I brought Linda and the brother to see her.And although we still kissed and cuddled a lot,we never did anything else and I never initiated anything because I could sense her anxietyIt was in the way she looked at me whenever she thought I wasn't paying attention,the way she held me in her sleep,like she was afraid I'd suddenly disappear when she woke up.It was in the way she had a delayed reaction to everything I said or did.Something was definitely worrying her,and it automatically became a burden to me.“You sure it's
