Chapter Twenty-SixSong: Desire by Limoblaze……………..Maya POV………….“Its great to see you again Maya,” Pete said as he took another swing of the beer in the bottle. “Never imagined it would be like this but i am also worried that you’re a fly entering a spiders nest. Not to mention that you have a werewolf accompanying you.” He nodded in Malcolms direction, he was with Fabio talking about something. They seemed oblivious to our stair on them, my hands curled my sides as i stared at the acquarium at the far edge.“He seems to like you.” He added and i turned away from Malcolm with my brows raised at Pete who shrugged.“I’m not even going to talk about that with you,” i watched as Pete carried a piece of fish food and poured a small amount into the canister. “Its been a while we’ve seen you at the association. You’ve stopped coming around to the building-”“I realized that something’s are best left unsaid.” He said in a low tone, “What happened?”“I can’t share that with you, Maya, as
Chapter 27Song: Strangers by Kenya Grace………………………….....................................Maya POV…………….The knife was poisoned.My eyes were wide as saucers as i stared at the cut and then back up at Malcolm who was staring down at me. His hair dropped over his eyes and with him being this close i was able to trace the bags beneath his eyes. “It’s nothing that my body can’t handle.” he said but something about his tone was off, it was slurred and his eyes dropped. He tried to moved past me but staggered and i reached out to hold his arms but failed and he pulled me down to the ground with me falling flat on his bare warm chest. The air was knocked out of me and as i raised my head i stared at Malcolm- his eyes were almost closed up and his hands were around my waist.“You can’t stay on the bed like this.” I muttered but he wasn’t even moving at all, i leaned closer to him with my hair falling in my face, his eyes were barely opened and his breath was turning shallow. “Malcolm- i k
Chapter 29Song: Pillow Talk by Zayn Malik……………………………………………………Maya POV……………My hands still held unto the front of Malcolm’s shirt and i made no move of pulling away. I was glad that he was here-and i hated myself for that. I should be a hunter who was not afraid of anything but with what had been happening- i really couldn’t be by myself and Malcolm was the only person who had no reason to kill me.“You were barely gone for twenty minutes-” he stated and i closed my eyes as what happened earlier crossed my mind. When i stepped out of Malcolm’s room, someone had been watching me- and even while i tried to calmly open my door- the hairs on my body reacted differently. “He was watching me-” i replied and pulled away from him with my gaze to the ground. “Why were you at my door?” i deflected.“I wanted to make sure you were okay-” he paused and i finally stared at him. The shirt he wore covered up most of the marking around his neck and his hands rubbed around the muscle there. “And i
Chapter 30Song: Middle of the night by Ella Dunhe……..:……………………………..Malcolm POVShe looks peaceful when she isn’t trying so hard to fight me, and no one would ever think of her as a high end assassin that is brutal at what she does. Even on the chair her body looked stiff, her eyes were already dipping close. Even when I tried to Carry her she struggled in my touch.“Relax Maya, Im not going to hurt you.” I whispered and like a snake to the tune of a special flute she relaxed.I watched her from my side as her body relaxed on the mattress, her hair had unbunched from the tie that held it together and they sprayed on the bed. My eyes rested on her lips which were slightly parted and let out soft air, if she caught me right now I’m sure a knife will be on my throat.Turning away from her lips my eyes focused on her face, her brows were slightly creased but apart from that she didn’t look troubled. She stirred and her hands clenched around around the sheets on the bed like she was stru
Chapter 31Song: I see Red by Everybody Loves and Outlaw…………………………..Maya POV………………………….It was the day of the dinner and i hadn’t seen Malcolm since the day he had slept in my room. I rinsed my face and stared at my reflection in the mirror, and watched strands of my hair fall into my face, there was no need to get worked up about my appearance but one thing was permenantly etched on my mind. The feel of Malcolm’s body against mine, my grip around the sink tightened and my face turned red from the reoccuring memory.Thankfully the light buzzing of my phone echoed in my ears pulling me back to reality, i shut the bathroom door behind me and grabbed my phone on teh desk while i dried my face.“Agent-”‘Whats your status Kristoff?” Sergeant firm voice asked and i tried not to roll my eyes. “Its been almost two weeks since you reported back to base.”I tossed the towel aside and paced around the room while raking my hands through my hair. “I didn’t know you need my report seeing that
Chapter 32Song: Anchor by Novo Amor…………………….Malcolm POV………………..The sun was drizzling away behind the clouds and the soft colors of orange and yellow danced around in the sky and soft evening breeze pushed across. Working for Lucas family is one of the toughest things ever, and since his text came in, i’ve been on the clock every since then. “You look really tired Malcolm, want to come to my room to rest?” Gwen’s slutry voice drawled from behind me, my skin crawled at the sound of her voice. Mr. Satiago had made sure that i remained around the premises after my initla call, he was on the phone and i had to wait for him to be done before i could enter and now, Gwen had found me.“I’m fine on my own Gwen.” I muttered turning to face her. Her hands were propped umder her chest which was barely covered in a silk robe and her eyes trailed over me. “You should also get ready, your father won’t be happy to see you here.” I reminded and her face turned sour, Gwen just like Lucas had a fe
Chapter Thirty-ThreeSong: Senorita by Camilla Cabello………………………………………Maya POV……………Even though i couldnt see him, i could feel his eyes on me. Lucas warm hands kept my head at bay and even while the butler greeted us as we climbed up the steps into the house, i couldnt help but suck in my breath and keep my eyes forward. I hand’t been able to attend large dinner parties like this, not especially with my line of work. It was either me snipping someone from another building while they were in such a gathering or keeping a look out for an ambush. Today it was quite the opposite as i was introduced to a household i wasnt familiar with and this proved to eb dangerous.From the hanging chandeliers to the tall windows which had heavy curtains with unique embroidery work on it edges, the lights were sharp golden yellow and when the doors closed behind me, it dawned on me that there was no getting out. My hands curled by my side squeezing the pouch in my free hand. Lucas had stopped walkin
Chapter 34Song: Greedy by Tate McRae……….Malcolm POV………….That red dress. It was taunting me and I didn't like it. Even when I watched her and Lucas talk to John, my eyes couldn't leave her body for one second. Now she was this close to me and her scent filled all of me. My hands held unto her with no intention of letting go. “I think they're gone now, you can let me go.” she stated, her voice coming out as soft whispers. With one last glance at her face, she held my hands and gently pried them away from her waist. We walked side by side back to the main dining hall where everyone except Mr. Satiago was already waiting. We stood and waited and when the double doors from the other end opened, everyone’s attention fell on the man that walked through it.The place was silent as everyone waited to hear him speak.“Welcome, Family and invited guests. Please have your seat.” he said and i made sure Maya was away from the middle of the table, it was the worst place to sit in this househo
