Because of the shock of how Ciel changed his mind from not wanting him to help to suddenly kissing him as if he was drowning and Maverick was his only oxygen, Maverick was not able to move. He couldn't even blink. He just stood there like a statue and was not even kissing Ciel back, causing the little omega to get angry.Ciel stopped kissing him, and with a frown, he asked while panting, "Why are you not cooperating with me? You said you'd help me." Anger and impatience could be clearly heard in Ciel's voice, causing even more shock to his dominant alpha.In a small and unsure voice, Maverick murmured, "I thought you didn't want to...""Ah, seriously. Do you want to help me or not?""Of course I want to, but—""Then no more buts. Just fucking do it!" And without letting Maverick answer again, Ciel started kissing Maverick once more, causing more shock to the alpha.But that shock did not last long as the scent of the little omega's pheromones got stronger and started to fully embrace
An unexplainable amount of lust surged inside Maverick's body as he heard that shriek coming from Ciel, which strengthened his want to tease and pleasure the little omega even more. And so, he pinched and pulled the little omega's pink little buds once more, causing Ciel to groan again.With teary eyes that were looking straight into Maverick's black eyes, Ciel said in a pitiful but also seductive voice, "It hurts."'Fuck! I want to be inside him right this instant,' Ciel thought, his manhood getting more stiff. In fact, he just wanted to take off Ciel's pants and spread his cheeks so that he could take a look at that small, beautiful, and pink hole. After that, he, then, would take his manhood out of his own pants and ram his manhood straight away into the little omega's small hole. And once he's inside Ciel, he would not waste even a single second anymore. He will immediately start thrusting and make Ciel go crazy, moaning and screaming his name. And once won't be enough for him. He
"Baby, can you please settle down already? Looking at you pacing back and forth is making me dizzy," Maximino pleaded to his husband. But instead of doing what he pleaded, Nexus just gave a very sharp look, causing him to look away. But that was only for a moment because he immediately turned his attention back to his husband after a few minutes and went back to following his husband's every move.Worry was still filling Nexus' face as he continued to pace back and forth while biting his fingernails, making his husband sigh.One of the things he hated the most was making and seeing his husband worry, which was why he always avoided doing and causing things that could cause Nexus to worry, and yet, he seemed to have failed to do that today.Of course it wasn't his intention to go on a heated conversation with Maverick, even though that has become a normal happening every time they meet, but at that moment, he was not really intending to go on a fight with Maverick to the point that the
Maverick, acting oblivious to the stares of the couple, made his way towards the couch across from the couch Maximino was sitting on and sat there.He put his hands on top of the backrest of the couch, as well as his head, making his gaze be directed to the ceiling. He stared at the ceiling for only a couple of seconds before he closed his eyes and breathed deeply. And he remained in that position for a while until Nexus, who stood beside his husband, finally had spoken and asked Maverick."How's Ciel?" Nexus' voice was cold, an indication that he was still angry at Maverick."He's already asleep," Maverick answered with his eyes remaining closed.Nexus asked again. "His heat has already subsided?""You already know the answer to that," Maverick answered again with an emotionless voice.Since the two couldn't sense or smell Ciel's omega pheromones anymore, that means his heat has subsided. But Nexus still wanted to be sure and hear it directly from Maverick, which was why he asked. An
"Serves you right," Nexus commented while rolling his eyes.Nexus and Maximino thought that Maverick would confront Nexus or give them his usual cold and icy gaze whenever he disliked something or someone, but none of that happened. Instead, Maverick only bent down a little, clasped his hands together, then looked down before saying, "Yeah. This serves me right—no, this isn't enough. This is not even a punishment. I deserve more than this."The married couple in front of Maverick got frozen upon hearing Maverick's words because what Maverick said was totally different from what they expected to hear.Both Nexus and Maximino knew how in love Maverick was with Ciel. They've heard him saying that so many times already that they even had gotten sick and tired of hearing it again. And because they are well aware of how madly, truly, and deeply in love Maverick is with Ciel, they expected the young alpha to get crazy right away the moment Ciel got into heat. They thought that he would go wi
The three of them went quiet after that question of Maverick's. But that was only for a couple of minutes because Nexus had spoken again, asking Maverick a question."How much do you love Ciel, Maverick?"Maverick raised his head from lying on top of the backrest of the couch and looked at Nexus with a serious expression. "I love him more than love itself, Nexus.""Is the kind of love you have... is it toxic? Toxic to the point that you become overly possessive and obsessive? Is it the kind of love that could suffocate Ciel? Because if that's the kind of love you have, then you might as well just let him go; it doesn't matter if you're paired. Because being with someone who only thinks about himself, disregarding the feelings of whom he called the love of his life, is no better than suffering without your mate."There was nothing but pure seriousness in Nexus’ voice as he uttered those words. And the two alphas with him understood why he was reacting like that. Of course an omega woul
"I will," was Maverick's answer to Maximino's question with a firm and determined voice, which took aback the couple.'These two are definitely not good at keeping their promises,' Maverick silently thought as the two's reaction clearly told him that they really doubted him.He wanted to question the two about their reaction, but he chose not to as it would only prolong the topic about their distrust of him, which he doesn't want. Instead, he decided to continue what he wanted to say."But only if that's what Ciel really wanted," he looked at the two with one of his brows raised. "You don't expect me to just give up like this, right?"Nexus finally spoke again and asked, "So you'll court and woo him?""Yes, but in a calmer way. Like a silent wooing and courting."Maximino and Nexus's foreheads creased. They looked totally confused at Maverick's answer."What?" they asked in unison."I already confessed to him, but I got rejected and was told that he didn't want to hear such words from
With a feeling as if something heavy was being put on top of him, Ciel drowsily opened his eyes. His eyesight was so blurry at first that he had to blink a couple of times until it finally got clearer. The first thing that he saw when his vision became clear was the white ceiling. After that, he started looking around the spacious room and everything inside it. He then realized that he was still in the room where Maverick brought him in a while ago.Ciel went back to staring at the ceiling. The memories of what happened before he lost his consciousness started popping up. He started remembering how he went into heat, how he took the initiative to kiss Maverick, and how he gave Maverick the permission to help him. He also remembered Maverick’s promise, and he also clearly remembered what kind of help Maverick had offered him.Unlike what he thought and what his body needed at that moment, Maverick did not go all the way with him. Maverick did everything to please Ciel—kissing his lips
As always, Maverick's face and voice were filled with so much sincerity, making it hard for him to not believe him—not that he's doubting him; he couldn't even remember when was the last time he doubted him. It's just that it always amazes him whenever Maverick says something with all sincerity. Well, it wasn't just amazement or happiness anymore. Ciel was already feeling something more, such as lust...?Ciel laughed inwardly. He never thought he would be feeling lust or get turned on simply because Maverick was being sincere. But damn, he really wanted to do it with Maverick. And well, he was also thinking that having sex with Maverick would help him forget everything he was feeling. The anger, the frustration, and the sadness—he didn't want to feel all of that. And what's the best way to not feel anything besides those said emotions? Of course it's sex."Wanna have sex?" Ciel asked even before he could think of what he just said. Still, he didn't want to take it back.Maverick looke
Ciel did not say anything for a while and just stared at Maverick. It was obvious that he was contemplating whether he should do what Maverick advised him to do or not. But after a few more moments, he finally decided on what to do.Ciel rose from his lying position and sat down, grabbing his phone off the table in front of the couch. While he was tapping on his phone for Raffy's number, Maverick sat down and snuggled closer to Ciel, wrapping his arms around Ciel's waist once more.Ciel dialed Raffy's number, turned on the loudspeaker of his phone, then leaned his body against Maverick while waiting for his best friend to answer the call.It took more than three rings before Raffy answered his call."Hey!" Raffy said."Hey," Ciel said right back, sounding a little unsure."Did you forget something in my car? I am still quite near Maverick's house, so I can turn back if you want.""No. That's not it," Ciel responded before sighing. "Can you stop driving for a while and park somewhere s
Raffy stopped his car right in front of Maverick's house. Ciel unfastened his seatbelt and grabbed his wallet and his phone from the dashboard.Ciel should be getting out of the car already, but he couldn't as he still wanted to ask Raffy something. The problem was, he wasn't sure if it would be a good question. He doesn't want Raffy to be mad anymore, especially since their relationship was already back to how it was before and also because he will be leaving. He didn't want Raffy to leave the country with their friendship in shambles again.As if the beta had sensed that something was troubling him, Raffy chuckled and said, "Just say what you want to say, Ciel."As if that was all Ciel was waiting for, he fully faced Raffy and said, "I know I already asked you about this, and you might get annoyed already, but I need to be really sure. Is your decision really final? Is there nothing that could really change your mind about going to the US and being with that asshole?"Raffy smiled.
"Maverick."The way Maverick clasped his hand went tighter, and his jaws were clenching."Maverick."His icy cold gaze has turned fiery, and his strong, heavy, and uncontrolled pheromones started to spread, making the three people in front of him go breathless despite being betas. But Maverick didn't care about them. He was already consumed with so much anger that he stopped caring about his surroundings."Maverick!"Ah, he really wanted to beat them up or kill them. He wanted them to experience what Ciel had been through, or make them go through worse. And he was very close to actually doing that as his patience was already very close to splitting. But just when that patience was about to split, he felt a heavy and very strong blow on his face that made him lose his balance. And the next thing he knew, he was already on the floor with an aching and throbbing cheek.As if he had just woken up from a trance, he looked at his father, who was standing right in front of him and was breath
"Can I handle this?" Maverick asked his father and grandfather when the two were about to move towards the chairs in front of the three people that were tied in their own seats.Marcus and Matthew looked at him for a while, and in that duration, only seriousness but calmness at the same time could be seen in Maverick's face, as if he was telling his father and grandfather that he was angry at the sight of the three people but not angry enough for him to lose his mind and start committing murder."Alright," Marcus said. "But we will stay just to be sure you won't lose control.""I won't, but suit yourselves," Maverick answered before taking the seat in the center, not waiting for his father and grandfather anymore.Marcus and Matthew said nothing and just followed Maverick, taking the seats that were situated on each side of the seat Maverick was sitting on.Maverick intently stared at the three people in front of him. He was staring at the three people as if he wanted to see even the
Maverick's face was dark as he walked across the hallway of the abandoned warehouse that his grandfather owns. He was on his way to the office room, where his grandfather and father were waiting for him.The moment he reached the front of the closed door of the office, he only knocked once just to let the two be aware of his presence, and after that, he pushed the door open, gathering the attention of his grandfather, who was, of course, sitting behind his office table, and his father, who was sitting in the chair that was in front of the office table."Hi, Dad," he said as he went inside and closed the door, then looked at his grandfather and nodded. "Grandpa.""You are a couple of minutes late, Maverick," Matthew strictly said. One of the many things Matthew hates is tardiness, which was why Maverick could understand why his father was giving him the stinky eyes. He just ignored it, though, as he took the seat across from Matthew."I had to make sure Ciel was safe first before I cam
"Are you sure you'll be fine by yourself?"Ciel couldn't help but roll his eyes at the alpha's eighth time of asking him the same question.After tying his shoes, Ciel finally stood again and made his way towards Maverick. He put his hands on the alpha's shoulders and then said in a firm voice. "To answer your question for the eighth time, yes, I am going to be fine.""But—""It's Raffy I am going to meet, Maverick. Not my parents, my brothers, not Andrew, or some creepy asshole. It's just my best friend, Raffy. So, stop worrying now, okay?""Yeah, but the news about you and your family is all over town, baby. What if people see you and recognize you? What if they start mobbing or attacking you, or something? What if you get hurt—hmp!Maverick's eyes widened due to utter surprise at Ciel's sudden attack on his lips. But as always, the surprise didn't last, and before he knew it, he was already kissing Ciel back with his arms wrapped around the little omega while slowly grinding his ha
It was quite a while before Ciel spoke again, and when he did, what he asked was, "Did you put something in my heart or in my brain?"Maverick looked confused. "What?""Like a listening device? Or maybe you're using an EQ-radio? A sensor or something else?"Maverick looked flabbergasted this time. "What? I... I don't understand what you're talking about. Why would I use those on you?""Then can you explain to me how you can easily tell what's on my mind or what I am feeling?" Ciel asked in a serious voice.Maverick continued to look confused until a few moments later. A laugh escaped his mouth as he pressed his forehead against Ciel, and then he whispered, "That's because I love you." His voice was filled with nothing but tenderness, making Ciel feel how much he meant every single word.Ciel wanted to suppress his smile, but in the end, he couldn't. Maverick just responded to his question with "I love you," and yet that seemed to be enough, or maybe more than sufficient enough, as an
"Coffee, juice, or cola?""Coffee.""With rice or without rice?""With rice.""Reading or watching?""Reading.""Studying or partying?"Ciel rolled his eyes. "Do you really still need to ask me that? Of course, studying!""Still studying?" Maverick asked in disappointment. "And here I thought that bringing you to a bar would somehow make you change your mind.""No matter how many times you take me into a bar, I will still choose studying. Bar hopping and partying won't secure my future, dude.""But being with me would secure your future.""So you're going to be like my sugar daddy?""Sugar daddy? I'm not that old to be called a sugar daddy. A sponsor would be the appropriate word, I think."Ciel shook his head before gazing at the ceiling with a small smile on his lips. "Whatever, Maverick.""But you're not opposed to the idea of being with me, huh?"Ciel frowned and looked at the dominant alpha again. "What?""You did not deny it when I said your future would be secured if you're wit
