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
Aside from Cian’s apology, Cian had also informed Ciel about their family’s current situation and well-being, even though he did not ask for it. Hell, he was not interested in hearing anything about his family and the aftermath of his press conference—at least not yet. That was the reason why he tried so hard to not turn on the TV or open his phone for a week whenever he was not having sex with Maverick. He was not yet prepared to know how his press conference turned out. He wasn’t ready yet for the aftermath of it because, honestly, he was scared. He feared that despite opening his heart to the public and allowing them to see his fragile past, it still won’t be enough for them to take his side. Of course there was also the possibility of that press conference being successful, but the fear and negativity he was feeling were still bigger than the positivity.Ciel actually thought that hearing about his family’s status and well-being wouldn’t affect him that much and that the opinions
Ciel was scowling as he stared at his phone. He had been staring at it for more than fifteen minutes now, reading the same messages from his twin brother over and over again. Actually, fifteen minutes was a lie. He actually had been staring at his phone since he got from Cian an hour ago."What the—"He gave Maverick his deathly and sharp stare when his boyfriend took his phone away.Boyfriend.Damn, that still sounded and felt surreal for him. Never in his dreams did he even imagine himself liking Maverick and dating him. He thought he would end up hating the guy until his last breath, and yet here he was, not wanting to be far from his alpha and wanting to be as close to him as possible. It's honestly how far his feelings and his attitude had changed.And now back to the phone that was taken away from him, he tried to take it back, but before his hand could even touch Maverick, the alpha had already retreated to his room, and when he came back, the phone was no longer in his hand."
"I want to talk about us."Maverick was surprised. Those were the last words he was expecting to come out of Ciel at that moment. Which was why he got speechless and was only staring at Ciel, who was becoming anxious the longer he kept quiet."Are you not...going to say anything?" Ciel asked after a while, sounding nervous.It took a couple of minutes before Maverick finally stopped being surprised and found his voice. With the gentlest voice he could use, he told Ciel while lovingly caressing his cheek, "We don't have to talk about it right now, baby.”But Ciel immediately shook his head. The little omega then grasped both of his hands and held on to them tightly while looking into his eyes with full determination. "No. I have to say it now before I lose confidence again and start chickening out."Maverick looked into Ciel's eyes intently, and upon seeing the determination and the certainty in the little omega's face, he had no choice anymore but to listen to what Ciel wanted to tell
"I missed this."Those words coming from Ciel were like music to Maverick's ears, and his heart was bursting with so much happiness and love. And those emotions could be clearly seen on his face as he was smiling widely and radiantly."Me too," he softly said before kissing the top of Ciel's head.Ciel tilted his head a little to look at him. And in the softest voice he had ever heard from the little omega, he asked, "You do?"Maverick was still smiling as he nodded. "Yes."Ciel just hummed before looking down again."Why do I have this feeling that you don't believe me?" Maverick asked.Ciel said nothing, and that made Maverick frown. He gently pushed Ciel a bit, which Ciel did not appreciate. But Maverick doesn't care and just makes Ciel face him instead. With his hands on Ciel's cheeks, he asked again, "Do you really not believe me?"But instead of his question being answered, he was asked instead. “Can you blame me? You weren't talking to me this morning.” Ciel was pouting, and hi
Ciel couldn't take his eyes off of Rosie and Maverick, but more specifically on Maverick as the two conversed with each other.Maverick seemed to be having a good time while talking with Rosie, and that didn't sit right with Ciel.Of course he was well aware that he shouldn't be feeling like that. Maverick was only talking with Rosie, his cousin, and no one else, so he shouldn't be pissed or anything, but he was. He was pissed.He was pissed that Maverick was able to talk to Rosie happily while he was feeling like shit. He was pissed that instead of coming to him to apologize, which Maverick had been doing for days now, he was putting a distance between them instead—alright, that might be unfair for him to say that because he was the one putting a distance between them and Maverick seemed to be just respecting it, but still... He just wanted Maverick to come to him and tell him that everything's going to be okay and that he will always be there for him no matter what. He just needs Ma
It has been three days since Maverick and Ciel argued about asking help from a mental health professional, and since then, the two have never had a decent conversation. Even now that the day of the press conference has arrived, the two were still not on good terms, and every single member of the Garcia family can see it. They could also feel the uncomfortable tension between the two, and it's quite suffocating them as they were all inside a room, waiting until the press conference starts.Maverick and Ciel were so far away from each other. Maverick was sitting on the couch that was situated near the window that was on the very opposite side of the couch that was near the door, where Ciel was sitting on.Maverick's eyes never went away from Ciel the moment they got inside the room. He never looked away even if Ciel was giving him deadly glares every time their eyes met."He's going to melt, Maverick," says Rosie before sitting down beside him. "Just what did you do for him to be sendin
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.
