“Mav” I began to panic as I turned in his hold, his eyes where golden so brightly lit by his wolf as they staired back at me. I raced through my clouded mind. It felt odd, like there was fog surrounding my entire brain and forcing me out. I sifted through the memory of the past minute trying to figure out the reason for the drastic change in not only me and my surroundings but of Maverick’s sudden stone like behaviour. And then it hit me, the growl I had heard moments ago whilst I was consumed in everything that was Maverick wasn’t one that I had grown accustomed too. I franticly glanced around us seeing that we were alone, no Levi and no intruder.“That wasn’t you who growled was it?” I asked and he shook his head. He looked tense, concentrated even. Concentrated on what? I don’t know.“Me?” I asked and he nodded the thick bob of his throat visible as he gulped in the weird tension that now settled between us. I found myself staring intensely at every detail in the action as he swall
“Are you ok?” Maverick asked, his lips brushing ever so gently over mine with the movement caused by his question. My cheeks flushed, I had or more so my beast had just licked him like a dog. Not only does she appear unannounced and unwelcomed she leaves me with the mortification of her actions.“That’s a blush I don’t mind seeing” he said softly taking my chin between his finger and thumb and with the smallest of tilts he brought our lips together. My eyes closed all on their own with the gentle touching of our lips. So soft, so tingly and then nothing. I opened my eyes at the loss of contact, his thumb still held me in place as he watched me as if waiting for my reaction.“No fight?” he asked, his lips tugging into a gentle smile as he waited for a reply but I wasn’t going to give him one formed with words instead I caught his bottom lip between my teeth and tugged gently. The action completely new to me but definitely all me. He groaned, encasing my head between the palms of his ha
Nina’s Pov- I stood at the top of the stairs unsure of what room would be Levi’s. I know the room opposite the bathroom was Mavericks his overpowering scent was literally drawing me to it. I took a deep breath and sniffed the air, God I felt ridiculous doing it, but I caught the familiar scent that I was looking for, his scent was faint and overpowered by that sweet yet manly scent that was so intriguingly Maverick. I followed the light scent of what I could only place as spring and a touch of sweetness like berries of some sort. I followed Levi’s scent towards the room one door down form Maverick’s, I didn’t know why but I found myself pausing outside his door, like the room had some magical entities that invited me in. my fingertips reached out wrapping around the doorknob and I groaned out loud maybe if I peaked in to the room then the need to enter would dimmish a little. Oh god I was physically fighting with myself in order to avoid embarrassing myself again by doing somethings a
My breathe evened out as I slowly but surely recovered from the past ten minutes, no not even just the past ten minutes but the entirety of this morning with Maverick. I was totally turning into one of those girls that was boy crazy. Not just any boy but a certain boy that not only gets under my skin but can at the same time turn those beautiful sparks to flames. Yeah, boys where something that had been a thing to cross my mind, of course it was. I was seventeen years old and haven’t been shy to experiment. But Maverick was something new, the way he captures my attention is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Nobody had ever brought such captivation out of me. He oozed everything manly from the way he dressed to the way he smelled. He was thrilling, dangerous even and dare I say it as hot as hell fire.Glancing around Levi’s room I took in the dark theme, much like Maverick’s room the colour theme was a mixture of dark oaks and black, grey shades. Everything was neat, his bed was
I entered the kitchen with a drag in my steps. Couldn’t Maverick understand where I was coming from? Couldn’t he understand that I was processing everything as best that I can, and I can’t skirt around certain topics because he simply doesn’t want to hear it.“He will be fine once he’s cooled off sweetheart” Levi grabbed my attention, he was sat in the same spot only instead of shovelling a sandwich into his mouth he was happily crunching away on an apple. “I promise I tried not to listen in, but it was kind of hard with the hearing that I have” he chuckled, his light amusement was his way of trying to lighten the dampness that Mav and I’s drama had caused.“Am I wrong?” I found myself asking as I dragged my feet across the kitchen in order to plug my phone and charger into a socket.“There is no right and wrong, this is new to both of you.” he answered, and I turned to face him.“Do you agree with Maverick? That what I said was bullshit?” I shot another question his way, I don’t know
I was tired! No scrap that I was absolutely drained from the longest travel I had ever had to endure in my entire seventeen years of living on this planet. At least the car ride was smooth, unlike the excruciatingly long plane journey I had suffered through less than two hours ago.My ass was numb, my knees cramped, and my back ached. I wanted nothing more than to be able to hop out of this car and take a walk or better yet take a walk directly up a set of stairs to a bedroom preferably one with a large soft and warm bed for me to lay in.I lazily dragged my eyes across the scenery as we drove, it was far from the city I had known my entire life. It was spacious, buildings small not like the towers that loomed over me in my home city in England. The sun was setting causing the most beautiful pink and red sky I had ever seen to glow around us.“Are you hungry? We can stop at the diner” Uncle Jesse asked.I shook my head motioning my an
With the first step over the threshold, you could feel the cool air of the house, it was an odd feeling a home colder than the air outside. But it felt nice considering I had been sweating and stuffy for hours on end.“Have a nose around, mi casa es su casa” he said his hands going to his hips.I didn’t reply just grazed my eyes around me, the décor was modern not what I was expecting from a cowboy town. Dark oak floors and crisp white walls, a large mirror hung upon the wall to the right of the hall way. It was definitely not what I had expected the home of a thirty odd year-old single man would look like. “How old are you?” I asked earning a raised brow and a soft chuckle.“Twenty-nine” he corrected my thoughts.“Huh, nice digs” I complemented as I peeked around the door that I now knew lead to a living room, or sitting room I believe the Ameri
“Kid” “Kid?”I groggily sat up to the sound of knuckles to wood as Uncle Jesse knocked against the door.“Huh?” I squinted at the light that seeped through the window.“I know it’s a Sunday an all but its after lunch and I thought you would like to take a walk around town, go pick up that carpet and anything else you may need?” he shot through the closed door, at least he was respectful of my privacy.“Err sure, I’ll be down once I’ve showered” I reached for my phone to see the time was almost two in the afternoon. Damn I really slept for that long?“I will be downstairs when you’re ready” he announced before silence replaced his loud awakening.I pulled myself off the bed, my body was aching a little, but nothing compared to how it was last night. I dragged my feet towards the door whe

I glanced to Kat and her fearful expression as the toxicity and tension between the males the we so happen to have in our company had the air so thick it was almost chocking. The information Lucas had just forced upon us had left me with nothing less of a whiplash effect. Everything in this damn town comes out of nowhere. Everything is so sudden and unexpected I have no time to consume and adjust to the newness of everything before I’m thrown against another wall of craziness. “You have five seconds to leave my territory” Maverick demanded the attention of everyone with his thick authoritative tone. “one” he began to intimidatingly count. “We aren’t here to cause any trouble” Katarina scrambled to pick up the chain on the floor in front of Lucas, I watched as she shoved it into his chest with a burning gaze and he reluctantly nodded his head as she proceeded to place the chain back around his neck, his blazing fiery orange eyes dulled until the they faded back leaving the eyes of a
“Mav” I called after him, I was itching to move and follow but at the same time I wanted to truly try to keep from starting another argument with him less than twenty minutes after calling a truce with him. “Where the fuck is she” Lucas’s livid tone cut me from my calm resolve, Forcing me to break out of the spot I was stood in and into a run. the attempt at staying put was futile as I rounded the side of the house and in to the front yard only to come face to face with two hostile and ready to throw down boys. “I’m only going to tell you once more, leave before I throw you in the damn boot of your car and drive you off my land myself” Maverick threatened his entire body so visibly tense. “what’s going on” I cut through the thick hostility in the air, hoping in someway my presence might break the ice between the two boys and there show of dominance between each other. “Nina” Katarina let out as she climbed out of the passenger side of Lucas’s car and with her words Lucas sighed wit
Silence was everywhere. The tension Levi had left behind was thick in the air. Not only that but I was worried about him, the feeling of concern flowing in my chest as I watched the door swing shut with his leave. “Is he going to be, ok?” I asked unsure but certain that something was playing with Levi’s emotions. He was so… how do I put it? passionate and adamant that Maverick an I have something. “He’s just going through some things. He will be fine” Maverick reassured as I turned to face him. “you know he’s right, all we do is fight. Fighting with you is exhausting” I admitted and I wasn’t even afraid to admit it because it was the truth. I was drained of fighting everything that crosses me and lately there isn’t a day that goes by where I am not arguing with or crying over someone. “I can agree with that darling” he let out a scoff of a chuckle. “I” I began but closed my lips. I didn’t know what to say or if I should even say something because I was for sure still so angry with
Maverick stepped through the thresh hold of the door, his eyes instantly finding mine. All that anger from last night had vanished because all I felt right now was thankfulness that he had been there for me through that pain and although he physically didn’t hold me last night somehow I knew he was there, easing the pain from the outside of the barn. He took his eyes from me to the twins, his jaw clenching before returning his stormy gaze back on me and without a word he walked straight past me. I swivelled on my heels to face his retreating form, confusion hitting me head on. “Mav?” I called after him, a pang of pain hit my chest at the lack of acknowledgement. He was angry and that was evident with each silent stomping stride away from me, I know last night our drama was heated but I thought that after he had been there to help me through the pain that followed our drama that we could attempt to communicate on a civil and grown-up level. Although I didn’t want to do that last nigh
