MAVERICK’S POV

Kai’s words sounded funny on the outside but after a close look at it, the laughter bubbling from my throat died the moment I realized she was saying the truth or rather, her imagination could come to pass.

I mean, this is Mr. Vuk we were talking about. A ruthless man who would do anything and everything to have whatever he wanted.

Sometimes, I’m glad I didn’t take after him. It could have ruined my whole life if I happened to take after a greedy, self-centered person like my dad.

“Dad can’t do that,” Ember shook her head, her voice trailing off into trance as tears cascaded down her eyes. “I know he is mean and doesn’t take shit, but he can’t kill me.”

“So you think I’m lying? How about I play you the record from my phone during family thanksgiving?” My brows cocked as I reached for my phone, tapping on the record.

I was smart enough to turn on the recorder of my phone before going to see him in his office, the night he called for me after dinner during thanksgiving.

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   Vuk’s men

    MAVERICK’S POV The second I told Kai that, she slammed her lips shut and probably bit on her tongue to stop any sound, related to moaning, from rumbling out of her throat. Her action made me chuckle lightly. She wasn’t ready to get fucked and I respect her decision. It wasn’t time to fuck or be lovey dovey, not when Vuk, my father, had his men roaming around the street where the girls lives. “Goodnight, Mave.” Kai muttered, her voice trailing off as she shut her eyes and fell asleep. The trauma she had due to the rain had drained out all her strength both physically and mentally, hence, the sleep was needed. “Goodnight, Little Muse.” I whispered into her ear, watching as she draped closer to me, our body pressed against each other. I watched her snore softly and I couldn’t help but smile. The need to watch her sleep all night washed over me and luckily, I wasn’t feeling sleepy. Hell, I barely sleep at night, so it was a golden opportunity handed to me on a platter of

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   My cock shows no mercy

    KAIDA’S POVI knew Mr. Vuk talked Maverick into getting engaged with his date, but I never knew it was this serious.He had his daughter and I threatened just so he could tie his hands and he wouldn’t have an option other than to accept his father’s condition.At that moment, I felt like hugging him and telling him all would be fine but I was too shocked to do that.“You don’t have to worry, Kai. I’ve got it under control.” His fingers stretched forward, pushing my chin up and making me look up at him. “If it’s not you. It’s fucking no one.” My heart began to race fast in my ribcage at his words and fuck! Heaven help me because I’m falling hard for this man and he didn’t know.He is obsessed with me, while I am falling and tripping hard for him.I took in my lower lips, staring at him with my doe eyes. When did it get to these?I swore never to date a hockey player, yet I was falling head over heels for a hockey captain.“Come close.” He ordered and I couldn’t help but move closer t

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   I will stop the engagement

    MAVERICK’S POV“Okay, goodnight. I will be back in the morning.” She was out the door as soon as the words left her lips, shutting the door behind her.Once she was gone, I exhaled, plunging my fingers deep into my sticky wet hair. It got dampened in the rain.“Shit!” I noticed my shirt was also wet from the rain and I couldn’t lay with it on Kaida’s bed.I took it off and plopped to the bed on my side. “I need you to wake up, baby. I’m running crazy here.” I muttered, dragging her stilled body towards me, so as to share the warmth from my own body.Reaching for her wrist, I checked her pulse and a sigh tore off my lips upon finding it was stable.I stared at her peaceful features. She was already calm and wasn’t trashing around like Ember had told me on the phone. She also wasn’t whimpering and sweating like she did earlier.Kaida slept like a baby, her soft breath fanning my face, while my eyes remained wide open, watching her sleep soundly, while counting the numbers of freckles o

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   Can’t I just stay here?

    MAVERICK’S POVI didn’t fucking care if hit a car or not, but those angry drivers who kept sending curses my way, definitely cared about their cars, which I bumped mine against, why trying to navigate past the goddamn slow movement on the road.Rochester city is always busy at night from people going to clubs, some heading home from work and others, from their different businesses, hence the holdup.I, on the other hand, would do whatever it took to get out of the goddamn hold up and get to Kaida as fast as I could.I’ve never been this anxious and as I waited for the car before me to move, I kept tapping against the steering wheel impatiently. I so lucky enough for a huge truck to divert to the other road and almost immediately, the road became stress-free and I sped through it like I was being chased by a fucking ghost.Upon arriving at their apartment, I barely shut the door of my car before dashing out in hurried steps.I arrived at the door to their apartment and placed a soft k

  • I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?   Stay alive, Little Muse

    MAVERICK’S POVEven if I couldn’t go any closer to Kaida, the least I could do was protect her from a beast I call my father.“Now you’re talking. If you keep obeying me, we won’t have a problem, Son.”I was tired of hearing his bullshit. “The fucking time, I asked!”“5pm.”I hung up once I got the time and dug my fingers into my hair.Anger warmed its way to my chest and I needed something to relieve the anger burning like a fury furnace inside of me.“Fuck you, Vuk!” I yelled, punching the wall hard, until there was a crack and my fist was covered in blood. Only then, was I able to calm down a bit.……………..By the time I arrived at the restaurant, the following day, Rosella was already waiting.“Hi.” She waved at me and I nodded, walking towards where she sat.Once I was close, I plopped into the chair across hers. “My dad told me you wanted to have another date with me.” I started, my voice dry and uninterested.I would rather be anywhere than with her. She bored the shit out of me.
