"Mi-Mister Marcus..." Andrew said in shock; his eyes opened up so widely that Ciel thought it would drop to the floor. His lips started quivering as if he were out in the cold for hours, even though he seemed to be fine just a second ago and even had the chance to yell at the sudden and harsh opening of his room's door."It seems that we surprised you so much you couldn't even greet me properly," Marcus said while smiling, although you can feel that his smile was far from being genuine.Andrew immediately got down from his bed and stood with his head hanging down while facing Marcus. "I... I’m sorry, Mister Marcus. I was not made aware that you would be coming. If I knew you would be visiting, I could have prepared more—”Marcus cut off Andrew’s sentence with, "Are you saying I should have asked for your permission first before coming to visit you?”Andrew immediately raised his head, wanting to look at Marcus. But the moment he met the old Garcia’s eyes, fear quickly filled his face,
"You seemed to be doing well now. I guess my grandson was lying when he said he was beating you to death," Marcus said in a casual voice.Maverick immediately chimed in. "I was not—" but was cut off by his grandfather."Are you not going to offer us a seat?" Marcus asked Andrew, whose eyes widened again as if he had just realized he had committed another mistake.Andrew immediately went to the couch and cleaned it with his bare hands, which was quite an unsightly scene to see.The truth is, Andrew actually looks far from doing well. There were still a few bandages on his face. His nose seemed to have been broken, and there were cuts on his swollen lips. His eyes and his cheeks were swollen as well, and the bruises all over his face could be clearly seen. Overall, Andrew looked so different that if someone told him Andrew was in the middle of reconstructing his face, he would believe it. And so seeing someone, who was badly hurt to the point he couldn't be recognized anymore, doing a b
Andrew’s eyes bulged, and his mouth formed into a huge O as he felt Ciel’s strong punch land on his gut.His eyes that had just started becoming clear became blurry again as he put his hands on the part of his stomach where Ciel’s punch landed. He also felt like he had turned deaf because of the pain he was experiencing.Andrew knew that Ciel wouldn’t even think twice about punching someone whose status is way higher than his. The little omega has always been known as someone who was so brave and so bold that he doesn’t give even a single fuck about hierarchy. But what Andrew did not expect was the pain brought by that single punch, making him go teary while groaning in ache. But of course, if Andrew was in his perfect state, there was no way a punch from Ciel would affect him so much. But because his body was still weak, even though it was his face who got more damage, as that’s where Maverick focused his punches, even a light jab would be enough to cause him pain. And Ciel seemed to
"That's it? That's just what you wanted to say?" Maverick asked Ciel the moment they got out of the room.Ciel walked towards the nearest hospital bench and sat on it. Maverick followed him and sat right beside him, facing him, and started asking him annoyingly again."Are you really content with just doing that? You could have punched him more! Give him a couple of kicks, slap his face, or pull his head until he goes bald, just like what you initially thought! You did not even say much! Grandpa told you to give him a piece of your mind, and yet you did not even do that.""I did!" Ciel answered. "I gave him a piece of my mind. Everything I told him was what I really thought. And don't ask me about why I did not go physical with him. I already told you guys before coming here that I wouldn't do such things!"Maverick sighed exasperatedly as he leaned his back on the backrest of the benches and looked up, the back of his head touching the white walls of the hospital. “I still think that
"What is that?" Ciel asked with a frown when Marcus Garcia handed him a piece of paper."A contract," Marcus answered while still holding the paper and was giving it to the little omega, who was clearly hesitating. "Take a look at it and tell me if there's anything you're not satisfied with so we can change it."The frown on Ciel's face deepened. "What contract are you talking about? What is the contract for?""How about a look at it first?" Marcus asked back.But Ciel quickly rejected him. "Not until you tell me what kind of contract that is," he firmly said.Seriously, he doesn't want to be with them anymore and simply wants to go home. But fear overcame him, so when Marcus Garcia asked him to join them again, he could only nod. And now they're inside Marcus Garcia's office at the Garcia family's ancestral home, with the other Garcia's nowhere to be seen because Marcus had told them not to come, and the old man wants to give him a contract for which he has no idea what it is.'Could
“Go on,” Marcus said when Ciel was still hesitating.The little omega turned to look at Maverick, seemingly looking for his reaction.“Just take a look at it, and whatever you decide, we’ll respect it,” Maverick said, and then looked at his grandfather. “Right, grandpa?”Marcus slightly smiled and nodded. “Of course.”The little omega looked at the piece of paper on the table again. He just stared at it for a couple of minutes before he sighed deeply and finally took it to take a look at its content.Ciel didn’t really want to read the said contract, as he was not even in the slightest interested in it. The deal he had with Maverick was already enough. But looking at Marcus Garcia, he knew he wouldn’t be able to leave without having to read and discuss the contract. Besides, he wanted to hold on to what Maverick said—that they will respect whatever he decides to do after reading the contract. Even if that wasn’t Marcus Garcia’s intention, Ciel could at least believe in Maverick.The l
“Are you ready?” Maverick asked Ciel, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Maverick's car.Unlike the other day, when Maverick would only take Ciel to the bus terminal and the little omega would take the bus afterwards, the two actually came together, of course riding in Maverick's car, which everyone recognizes, and they were already in the parking lot, about to get out and face the people who appeared to be waiting for them.“Well, I don't have a choice but to be ready, do I?” The little omega answered. He meets Maverick's eyes. “How about you? Are you ready for this?”Maverick grinned confidently and said, “Baby, I was born to do this. Of course, I am ready.”Ciel rolled his eyes before looking at their fellow students outside. “Don't ever call me baby again, especially when we are in the crowd. That's so cringey!”But Maverick just laughed and answered, “Sure, baby.” Clearly, he was teasing the little omega, who just rolled his eyes again and shook his head.Ciel took a very d
It was already eleven-thirty when Ciel’s class ended, which was the right time to have lunch. He was busy gathering his things so that he could immediately leave when a group of men and women started approaching him.“Hey,” one of the women said in a very rude manner. The way she stared at Ciel was also filled with hostility.It was clear what they wanted. They wanted to confront Ciel about his relationship with Maverick. And he thought just a while ago that no one would be dumb enough to trouble him after hearing the old Garcia’s announcement.Ciel couldn’t help but sigh and thought, ‘I guess I was not entirely right, and Maverick was not entirely wrong either. There really are still some idiots who will try to approach me despite Marcus Garcia’s warning.’“Did you not hear me? Are you deaf?” The rude woman asked again before trying to push Ciel on the chest. But Ciel was quick enough to take a step back so that the disrespectful could not touch him.He zipped his bag and finally loo
A moan of surprise that turned into a needy one escaped Ciel's mouth, which was still being claimed by Maverick, when Maverick's fingers reached Ciel's hole and started playing with it.Maverick's fingers were only caressing the hole at first, tracing it as he wanted to remember its shape. He wanted to remember what it felt and looked like when he wasn't fucking it yet so that he could compare it to what it would look like after he fucks it.After just caressing and tracing it, Maverick's fingers proceeded to tap the hole, feeling just how wet the omega's hole was despite Ciel not being in heat. And that can only mean one thing: Ciel was turned on by him. And it's not because Ciel was in heat or because of the pheromones because he had already stopped emitting it. Ciel was just turned on. He just wanted him. And that thought made Maverick go crazy in lust and love even more.God, he doesn't know anymore how many times he had imagined himself making love with Ciel without the heat and
Despite already feeling the sexual tension between them beforehand, Ciel was still surprised at Maverick’s sudden attack on his lips. But that surprise did not last long as just after a few seconds of Maverick licking and biting Ciel’s lips, urging him to open it, Ciel eventually yielded to the alpha and opened his mouth like what Maverick wanted. After that, the exchanging of needy and hungry kisses had already started, both of them seemingly fighting for dominance. But as always, Maverick won. No matter how much Ciel tries to be in control, he always ends up being controlled by Maverick. And because Maverick was in control, Ciel couldn’t do anything but undress himself when Maverick pulled away from their kissing for a moment and asked him to take off all his clothing as Maverick was also taking off his shirt, undoing his jeans and taking it off together with his boxers.After stripping naked, Maverick grabbed Ciel by the nape and claimed his lips once more. Ciel, being the submissiv
“Ciel—”“I'm done,” Ciel said as he looked at Marcus, not letting his mother and father speak; that would be nothing but lies.Marcus stared at him intently. “Is that all you want to say?”“Yes.”“You only want them to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you again?”“Yes.”Marcus nodded as he understood what Ciel wanted. “Alright. Let's do what you want,” Marcus said with a smile.Ciel smiled back at the old Garcia and was about to utter his thanks when his mother could not hold back anymore and interjected in their conversation.“Why are we, his family, not having a say in this? We—”“How many times will we have to say that you are not Ciel's family anymore? Are the words that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with any of you anymore so hard to understand? Are you guys dumb? Stupid? Imbeciles?” says the teenage cousin of Maverick, whose name Ciel still doesn't know.Cian gasped, while Clarence gritted his teeth. It was obvious he did not like the words that came out o
Ciel had already expected to be protected. What he was not expecting was that the protection would be coming from Maverick’s father, Matthew Garcia. So no one could blame him if his face turned into something indescribable due to utter surprise.Ciel looked at the other Garcias, and even Maverick, wanting to see if they were surprised too, but none of them had an expression that could be described as surprise. In fact, they all looked calm as if they had already expected it to happen, causing Ciel to be confused.Maverick, sensing his gaze, turned to look at him. He gave him a smile that speaks assurance and gently squeezed his hand that he was holding. “We will protect you. We won’t let anyone hurt you, Ciel,” he said in a small voice, enough for only Ciel to hear.Ciel continued to gaze into Maverick’s eyes, loving the sincerity he was seeing in it. His heart was once again swelling in happiness. And all of a sudden, he felt like crying.Finally, after being beaten by his family and
Ciel wants to admit it now. He doesn’t just like the smell of Maverick’s pheromones. He loved it. He loved it so much that he couldn’t stop himself from pressing his body even closer to Maverick than they already were. A contented sigh even came out of his mouth as more warmth radiated from Maverick, and he shared it with him. It’s like Maverick’s body already knew what he wanted. As if it was programmed to do and give what he desires.And so with that, Ciel had completely forgotten his plan to piss off his twin brother. Even the fact that their families are with them and that they have a very important matter to discuss had all flown out of Ciel’s brain. Just like what happened just a few moments ago when he and Maverick were still in the car, the only thought that Ciel had in mind was that he wanted to melt and be one with Maverick’s pheromones and warmth.Ciel still wasn’t sure why he was suddenly feeling this way. He still wasn’t sure if it was because they were bonded, if it was
At that moment, even Ciel was shocked at the words that came out of Maverick's mouth. But that shock was only for a moment as he started getting amused again.Ciel cursed in silence, but the curse was for his undying amusement. It seems that Maverick has no plans to hold back the words he wanted to say, and Ciel was loving it. In fact, he was getting excited about what Maverick would say next that would surprise the hell out of his family once more.Ciel was waiting for her mother's composure to break or be shaken once again, but unfortunately, that did not happen.It seems that his mother had already realized that Maverick was not someone she could just easily manipulate.Aside from acting innocent, kind, and loving, Clarice was also good at sizing up people, so Ciel wasn't surprised anymore how his mother was able to easily hold and strengthen her composure as if she hadn't almost lost it just a moment ago.A patient and understanding smile spread across Clarice’s mouth, an indicati
Ciel winced at the way his mother wailed and screamed those three words.‘Oh, my baby? What the hell was that? Since when did I become—or since when did she start calling me her baby?’“Oh my god. My baby… my baby…”Ciel wanted to puke. He was utterly disgusted. And amused as well.Baby? Hearing that word come out of his mother’s mouth was giving him goosebumps!Ciel was sure that he was looking funny with his contorted face, and he knew he should straighten it out. But how could he do that when his mother kept calling him with that disgusting word?“Oh, god… I… I… Oh, my Ciel…”Ciel cursed in silence. Did his mother even consider being an actress before? Because she definitely has a talent for that, and she’ll certainly make a living out of it. Although her expressions looked funny to Ciel, they work well on the others. Ciel couldn’t even count how many people had been deceived by Clarice Dominguez’ fake-ass acting.Realizing that, Ciel couldn’t help but glance at the opposite side,
Ciel and Maverick stayed longer in the car, not caring that the people inside were already waiting for them. Maverick continued to emit his pheromones, while Ciel continued to lean towards Maverick, totally loving how Maverick's pheromones were surrounding him.Ciel wishes he could bury himself in Maverick's arms and never leave. He loves the comfort, warmth, and peace Maverick and his pheromones provide him, and damn the people who are waiting for him, but he wasn't ready to let the pheromones go just yet. Instead, he wants to take it in more deeply. But no matter how much Ciel wanted to escape reality and just bask in Maverick’s pheromones, wanting to not face the hurdle that was waiting for him once he got inside Marcus’s mansion, he just couldn’t do it. It would be impossible as the reality will always come back to him, telling him that he needs to stop avoiding it, which was already happening.Maverick’s phone, which was on the dashboard, suddenly lit up and rang, bringing Ciel
“Are you done laughing?” Ciel asked Maverick with his voice and his eyes equally sharp.Maverick cleared his throat and wiped the tears that formed in his eyes due to laughing so hard. And all while he was doing that, Ciel’s sharp stare remained focused on him. It was a warning that if he tries to laugh again, dagger-like staring won’t be the only thing anymore that he was gonna get from him. And Maverick understood that right away. So despite still wanting to cackle, he held himself back in all ways he knew, making sure that not even a single chuckle would come out of his mouth, which would make Ciel lose the little patience he had.Maverick cleared his throat again before facing the little omega once more. Clearly, Ciel was still pissed as hell. And who wouldn’t be? He fought his embarrassment so hard to get that question out of his mouth, and then what? He just became Maverick’s laughingstock! Who wouldn’t be mad at that?“I’m sorry for laughing,” Maverick started, but Ciel immedia
