Alayah's POV
a few days later

We stayed at the safe house for the entire weekend like Maverick said we would. Our stay was better than I had expected it to be. I actually had a lot of fun. Dimitri was hilarious and always got me into trouble and Adriano was basically my second brother by the time we had to leave.

I was currently packing with a pout on my face because I was sad we had to leave before Maverick walked in. He had been more stressed as of late but he tried to hide it from me. I tried to talk to him about but he just shrugged me off and told me he'd handle it. He sat down on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands.

I walked over to him and stood in between his legs and took his face in my hands. "Are you ok?" I said before swiping his hair out of his eyes. His hair had gotten quite long but I wasn't complaining. I love it long.

He shook his head before he closed his eyes and leaned into my touch. "Wanna talk about it?" I said softly. He shook his head again before he grabbed my wrists and pulled my hands from his face. He got up and smiled tiredly at me before he kissed my forehead and walked away.

I groaed and turned to face him. "Why won't you talk to me Maverick?" He stopped walking but didn't turn around. "Talk to me," I said walking up to him and hugging him from behind. I placed cheek to his back and squeezed. I heard him take a deep breath in and exhale.

"You're cute. You know that?" he said making me irritated. He always did this. Deflect, deflect, defelct. He made me want to defelct my fist off his face.

He turned to face me with that stupidly cute tried grin on his face and wrapped his stupid arms around me. My face contorted in annoyance which only seemed to make him laugh. "Go away. I have to finish packing," I grumbled out trying to push him away. He laughed and held onto my waist as I tried to walk away. He stumbled clumsily behind me as I walked forward finding him anything but amusing.

"Maverick," I said in an all serious tone making him stop instantly. He knew I wasn't in the same playful mood as him.

"Come on Alayah," he said making me glare at him. He sighed and walked over to me until he was standing behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. A small part of me thought he had thought it over and was about to tell me what was going on. "We leave in 30 minutes," he said before he kissed the top of my head. I rolled my eyes making him grip my butt harshly. "Don't roll your eyes at me, cara," he whispered in my ear before he started kissing and sucking on my neck eliciting a soft moan from me.

My flower was throbbing and dripping like a broken faucet. Damn him! He reached from behind me and cupped my flower through my jeans with his huge hands. I instantly arched into him making a stupid grin form on his stupid face. He only did this when he wanted to get out of the dog house.

Too bad it worked every time...

I cursed the affect he had on my body. He pulled away from me too soon for my liking and walked towards the door.

"I-" he sighed, "I'll be downstairs," he said before he walked out of the room. I huffed and continued to pack. I could barely focus at the task a hand before my mind drifted off to what had just happened. It didn't help that I was horny too. He got me all hot and bothered and for what? Now I'm angry and horny.

I soon finished packing and made my way downstairs. The house was bustling with movement. Maverick's men were moving about making preparations for our journey home. As I walked by they would all give me a curt bow before they mumbled "signora." I asked Maverick about it but he just said it was a formality. After reassuring one of Maverick's men I could hold my own things, I walked out to the car and placed my bags in the trunk.
