Chapter 98: Prank call?

VALENCIA’S POV

"Let me go. If I won’t be present there for too long, everyone is going to suspect me and I don’t want anyone to come here and -" I paused when I looked down at my situation.

Seeing how my shirt was all undone, I scowled.

My attention was snapped back to him when Maverick suddenly chuckled and I looked back into his crinkling eyes that for some reason made my heart joyful too.

"Don’t scowl. I will button them up again," He said casually as if he was my boyfriend or something, and I looked away.

"You don’t have to," I started but just like he always dismissed my protests, he dismissed my words and started to button my shirt from the bottom.

Clenching my hands on the desk one more time because of the nervous butterflies in my abdomen, I looked at him when he deliberately rubbed his finger on my exposed stomach.

I looked down, my expression turning a bit sour.

Seeing him tracing one of the scars that I got when I was stabbed and didn’t get it treated on time, leaving a scar, I quickly smacked his hand away before jumping down from the desk, feeling uneasy.

I started buttoning my shirt myself as I created some distance between us.

"What’s wrong?" Maverick asked, grabbing my shoulders, and forcing me to look at him.

I looked into his hazel eyes which were clearly oblivious to the storm that brewed in my heart because of how he was tracing my scars and couldn’t help but sigh.

"It’s nothing," I said, not wanting to talk about it.

"If it’s nothing, why are you hiding yourself from me?? Why are you hiding your scars from me?" He asked before he got on his knees in front of me and placed his hand on my stomach, right where my scar was.

A shaky breath left my mouth when he bent forward and kissed my stomach right from above my shirt.

"You have a very beautiful appearance, Valencia. And do you know what’s more beautiful? It’s your heart. These scars, your battle scars that tell stories about how you’ve fought so long to be where you are, are beautiful," Maverick said, looking up at me.

My heart trembled, eyes prickling with tears as I looked back into his unadulterated expression.

How can you not fall in love with a man like this? My breath hitched at the thought that crossed my mind, my pupils dilating at where my thoughts were leading me which was definitely in all the wrong directions.

I looked away before walking back to his desk.

I needed to breathe. Breathe and forget the thing that I just thought about.

With a sigh to tell him I was leaving, I turned around, but who would’ve thought he was standing right behind me?

As soon as I turned around I bumped into his chest, making my nose tingle with pain, and as I tried to step away, I stumbled on my own foot, falling to the side.

My survival instincts immediately kicked in and I grabbed the first thing to save myself, which surprisingly happened to be the alpha’s shirt.

Creak*

The sound of his shirt tearing echoed as he placed his hand on my waist to help me stand right.

I looked in horror as the buttons of his shirt flew to the side, rolling on the ground, making me gulp.

’Good going, Valencia. Look at this well-chiseled chest. Huh, after a long weekend, this is exactly what I want to come home to,’ Aurora said, my gaze stuck on his chest.

I know I was staring, but at this moment, I least cared about such things.

"Touch it?"

I heard Maverick’s voice in the background, and I nodded my head with an excited smile before raising my hand and placing it on his chest.

"Enjoying it?" He asked, and without tearing my gaze from his chest, I nodded my head again.

"Yeah -" I whispered before my mind finally recovered from the little daze, and I realized what I was doing.

I quickly removed my hand from his chest and looked back into the alpha’s eyes which had an amused expression on his face.

I am sure this must be looking funny to him.

"I... I..." I stuttered, trying to come up with a plausible explanation, but I couldn’t and he smiled, cupping my cheeks, forcing me to look into his eyes.

"Touch all you want. This is yours either way. In fact, I will let you touch even more if you go on a dinner date with me," He said, making me widen my eyes.

Was he seriously asking me out? The alpha of the Dark Callisto pack was asking me out.

It was so suspiciasooo.....

"I will think about it," I said before grabbing my backpack. I turned to leave when he held my wrist to stop me.

"Who will compensate me for this damage?" He asked and I gulped.

Well, it was indeed true that the damage I caused was irreversible and couldn’t be helped.

"I will buy you a new one," I whispered but rather than letting me go, he pulled me close and captured my lips into a heated kiss, moving his lips hurriedly against mine.

"A-alpha-" I moaned when he bit my bottom lip, making me open my mouth instinctively.

He kissed me, pouring all the passion in that moment, exploring my mouth for a few more seconds, letting me taste his exotic taste at the same time before he pulled back slightly.

"Every time you make a mistake, I will increase the time of this kiss by one minute. And the moment this timing crosses thirty minutes, I will change the place to kiss. First, it will be here," He pointed to my neck.

"Then here," He pressed his finger right between my cleavage.

"And then finally here," He said, trailing his finger all the way down toward my lower abdomen.

I looked at him with moist eyes because of our kiss earlier before nodding my head.

"Good that you have started to understand. Valencia Brooklyn, you are mine," He whispered like a lover before placing his forehead on mine and breathing into my scent.

"Now go before I change my mind and give you a little example of how I can make your toes curl here itself," he whispered, making my ears burn even more.

Seriously, he needed to stop making me feel like this.

Without a second thought, I rushed out of the cabin after evening with my dress and hair.

’He is good,’ Aurora whispered, and I hummed, feeling strangely good.

’Do you think it’s okay for us to get involved with him so deeply when at the end of the day we are going to leave him too?’ I asked Aurora.

Aurora didn’t say anything for some time. She just sighed and lay there thoughtfully.

’I don’t know. We will probably never leave him. But if we leave him, there won’t be any person worse than us. We already know that Maverick is lonely, holding onto his duties to survive. We went into his life, allowed him to feel what it was like to have a woman by his side and when he would become attached, we would leave. What is worse than this?’ Aurora asked me, and I suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Was I really playing with his heart? I walked to the canteen and was about to enter when I received a call from a private number, making me furrow my brows.

What was with people contacting me through private numbers these days?

This also reminds me, I need to ask Maverick if he knew the person who was messaging me earlier. He has strangely stopped ever since the truth of Maverick’s identity has been out.

I picked up the call and stopped near the pillars at some distance from the canteen.

"Hello? Who is it?" I went straight to the point because I really don’t like it when someone comes between me and my food.

I was just about to have lunch and...

"Spy V is it?" The person on the other side asked, and I furrowed my brows.

Spy what? Was someone messing with me?

"Are you sure you got the right number?" I asked, and the man took a pause.

"Let me talk to her," I heard in the background before I heard some shuffling.

"Hello, Spy V, it’s a pleasure to finally be able to talk to you. We heard about the confidentiality of your identity and rest assured, you won’t be put in any harm’s way because of me contacting you," The man said, and it was really irritating me how he was doing everything apart from telling me who the hell he was.

"Look, if you want to call someone randomly after smoking weed, be my guest. But don’t you dare call this number again because I swear I will hunt you down and make your life miserable for coming between me and my food! This is one of the worst prank calls, no lies," I said before ending the call and walking to the canteen.

I can’t believe some people. What was with all those honorifics? I scoffed before ordering the food for myself.
