THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 31
His crisp shirt has a few buttons opened at the front, revealing his toned chest!!
Jeslyn was still ogling at his chest and didn’t realize he was standing in front of her.
With a swift movement, Maverick turned her and made her lie on the desk, pinning her on it with his strong hands.
Jeslyn gasped at his sinfully handsome cold face that was a few centimeters away from her face.
Jeslyn internally screamed for him to get off, but her body was doing something else. She had been shy around Ray and wouldn’t let Ray get too close to her, however, her reaction to Maverick was different.
She blinked her long lashes as her face turned pink. She wasn’t expecting him to do anything to her, but if his sexy lips get closer to hers, she’ll welcome them. After all, he’s her husband, and also, it wouldn’t be bad to give her innocence to a man this handsome. She thought.
Maverick closed his eyes and lowered his head to the crook of her neck. He took a sniff of her fruity fragrance.
Like he was expecting something or trying to compare her scent to someone else, he waited a little longer before his brows creased.
He shifted his head off her neck and stared into her hazel pupil. Those pupils look exactly like his son’s, but different from the girl in his memory.
On that day when he heard Jeslyn’s voice, he didn’t intend to reply to her, after all, he was never the type to talk too much, let alone talk to strangers.
But after turning around and seeing her so broken, plus those iris that reminded him of his son, Maverick couldn’t ignore her and his countenance changed to make her feel comfortable.
Those words he said to her, Maverick wasn’t sure why he said them. He couldn’t place his fingers on why he cared to warn her, nor did he understand why he felt a little excited when she still agreed to marry him despite knowing what she would face.
After marrying her, he didn’t ask about her for a week because he was busy doing what took him to Rose City, so he left her alone to deal with her problems until he saw her on the road.
When she went to prison, Maverick was busy with his son’s problem, thinking the idiot he told to bring her out was doing his job.
After he brought her back to Country M, Maverick found her to have a tiny bit of something that reminded him of that person, so he did a thorough background check on Jeslyn.
The result was far from what he expected. Jeslyn was not the woman but something in him didn’t want to believe it. After all, his instinct had never been wrong.
And he is here to find out. What he is about to make Jeslyn go through is the last option to prove if he is wrong or right and he hopes his instinct would be wrong for once, or he wasn’t sure what he wanted.
Looking into those mesmerizing eyes of hers that seemed to have no effect on him, Maverick spoke, “I warned you never to come here.”
He didn’t sound angry but the way he said it sent a chill down Jeslyn’s spine.
For some reason, Jeslyn doesn’t seem to fear this man, but whenever he looks at her with emotionless eyes or talks to her with a passionless voice, her heart jumps.
“I– I…” Jeslyn’s voice sounded funnily low and awkward.
Maverick’s lips curled into something other than a smile, “you are disobedient, aren’t you?”
Jeslyn nodded and then shook her head. “I’m a…” she swallowed. She gently bit her lower lip to stop herself from embarrassing herself.
“In the contract, you aren’t supposed to be here. Breaking the rules will extend your stay, Jeslyn Lee.”
Maverick stated, however, Jeslyn’s eyes were glued to his moving lips.
Seeing how she was looking lustfully at his face, Maverick continued,
“Secondly, you are allowed to ask me for anything, including your rights as my wife. However, you are not allowed to seduce me. Falling in love with me is at your own risk, so don’t.”
“Can you kiss me?” Jeslyn subconsciously thought out loud.
She widened her eyes in horror when she realized what she had just said.
Yes, it was in her thought, it had always been, but she didn’t mean to ever say it out loud. However, watching those sexy lips of his moving as he talked, she couldn’t help herself as she let the words out.
Whenever she saw people making out, or when Ray wants to get touchy-feely with her, although she also wants it, her body reacts differently. It rejects him outright like he was disgusting.
But why is she feeling like Maverick was her everything? Why is she getting wet down there when he hasn’t even touched her? Why is she expecting him to kiss her? And why did she even ask him to kiss her? Why?!
Although Jeslyn was internally asking all the whys in the world, her face was communicating a different emotion.
Maverick didn’t react to that. But he marveled at how she boldly asked it. Maverick let her go and Jeslyn immediately hurried to stand on her feet and bowed slightly to hide her tomato face.
“I– I’m so sorry for saying such words. I didn’t mean it… hehe… I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Ha.ha.ha…” She laughed awkwardly like that would erase her shame.
Maverick snaked his hand around her waist and yanked her to his chest then watched her gasp at his action.
He searched her dreaming eyes for something. He could tell she was ready for anything he would do to her, which left him wondering for how long she had been starving herself.
Maverick’s eyes surveyed her pretty red face before he lowered his head.
Jeslyn could feel his breath fanning her flushed face. The palpitation of her heart grew louder and faster as she anticipated his next point of action.
Jeslyn didn’t know why she felt relaxed in his arms. She didn’t know why her body was reacting this way, but all she knew was that she loved this and wanted him to go further.
She slowly closed her eyes as excitement washed over her in preparation for her first kiss. She felt his face getting closer and closer. His pointed nose brushed against hers and Jeslyn’s heart erupted into chaos.
The thumping of her heart went for a roller coaster as the pattern distorted. It no longer beat in rhymes but was chaotically beating against her chest.
As the tip of his lower lip touched hers, an electrifying feeling coursed through her veins, making Jeslyn shudder against Maverick.
Maverick paused his action for a moment as his brows creased again. His hold on Jeslyn’s waist tightened. He felt her hold on his shirt as she fisted a part of the black shirt.
Maverick’s face darkened with every reaction Jeslyn was subconsciously showing to his touch. Why do they react alike?
Maverick broke his resolve and parted her soft lips with his.
Jeslyn gave him the same feeling. The sensation he felt when he was with that girl. Jeslyn had the same reaction when he teased her lips. Her reaction was also the same when he patted her lips.
As Maverick compared Jeslyn to the lady in his memory, his hold on Jeslyn’s waist tensed even more.
Jeslyn moaned into his mouth, making Maverick go wild with emotions. He picked Jeslyn off the floor and walked to the couch.
Jeslyn wrapped her arms around his neck as she received the best kiss of her life.
Eh? She had never kissed before.
She never thought her first kiss would be this wonderful and never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that this cold demon was this good!
The feeling was overwhelming and the kiss wasn’t enough to quench her thirst. She needed more and all of him.
Maverick had thought his carnal feelings had died along with that woman’s disappearance until now.
The reason he made the rule that Jeslyn could have his body as his wife was firstly, to confirm his doubt and secondly, to test if she can get his body to react to her, and here it was, doing more than Jeslyn was doing.
