151: Want more?

Want more?

Sometime later, Jeslyn tried to sit up but couldn't. Her body was still shaking from it all. She wondered if this was how Vera felt.1

Just then, the wall cracked open and Maverick walked in carrying a tray of food. 

Jeslyn's eyes couldn't focus anywhere else except the dangling, something that was attention-grabbing.

"Why aren't you wearing something?" She frowned slightly. What if someone saw him? 

Her mind was muddled that she forgot there was no one but the two of them on this huge island.

"What's the point?"

"What if someone saw you like thi–" she suddenly remembered no one else was here and her cheeks heated up.

"Why not tell the truth?"

"What truth?" She asked while shifting her eyes everywhere but her gaze kept returning to his length.

"Do you want more?"

"Hold on Maverick," she swallowed. "I'm tired." 

Maverick placed the tray in front of her and sat on the edge of the bed. 

"Mn," he nodded. 

Jeslyn sighed. He only brought her share. The toast had fried eggs and veggies. No cheese. She picked up a fork and knife, held the toast down with the fork, and cut a bite with the knife. 

"Eat some," she stretched her hand to Maverick.

Maverick didn't tell her he detested that breakfast but because this was the first time she was feeding him, he opened his mouth and accepted the food. 

"You also need strength to continue." She said before focusing on her food while blaming her mouth in her heart. 

They've only done it once and it felt like they've gone three rounds. Why was he so beastly? 

Maverick had starved for three and half months, so it was understandable that he would want to go all out with the chance he has gotten.

… 

After eating and resting, Jeslyn refused to go another round as her body still aches. So the couple decided to do other things. There's more to life and marriage than s3x after all. 

Maverick knew that he was walking on thin ice because Jeslyn would blow up again if she found out Vera was pregnant and that would determine if their relationship would stay. That's why he had prepared to hook her so badly that she won't be able to leave him no matter what. 

Maverick didn't care if he was using the wrong method in keeping his woman by his side. Provided he wasn't abusing her, disrespecting her, and restricting her movement then he is fine. Also, her happiness matters too but certainly not the 'I want a divorce or stay away from me, I'll be happy if you do' kind of thingy. 

If their relationship ever gets to that point, Maverick wouldn't know how crazy he would get, and being the antagonist to her 'happiness' won't be far from him because he's definitely not going to allow another man near her, never! 

Maverick looked at her side profile as the both of them were heading to the shore. "What can make you hate me?"

"Huh?" Jeslyn was thrown off by the sudden question. They were just talking about how well he cooks and he's asking something totally irrelevant to the topic. 

Maverick turned to her and held her shoulders– stopping her in place and also making her look at him. He lowered his height to her level and repeated the question while searching her eyes for lies; 

"What would make you hate me?"

"Ah, if you kill your own child? Restrict my freedom, get rid of my friends because you can, and also…" She smiled, then hugged him. "If you choose Vera or any other woman over me."

Maverick was lost. Nothing she said mattered to him like the first. Before coming, he had asked Rex to get rid of Vera's baby. 

"What if I impregnated a girl and killed the child?"

"Why would you kill the child?" She frowned. 

"It's a fetus, isn't it? Not a child yet." 

"What are you saying? Breaking an egg that's already forming a baby chick, isn't that killing the chick?" She looked at him with a frown.

"Mn." He decided to let it go for now. He'll just tell her everything after they leave here, or better still, no need for her to know. After all, the deed must have been done.

Maverick resumed walking with his hands in his pocket while Jeslyn walked behind him with a frown. 

"Maverick, why did you ask that? Is someone pregnant for you?"

He didn't turn around but he could tell she was already starting to get mad as her voice was hard and a little louder than usual. 

He stopped and turned to look at her. As he pictured, she was already fuming, so he shook his head. 

"No," 

"Then? Why the weird question?" She looked at him suspiciously. He was lying and she could feel it.

Her heart clenched in wait for a heartbreaking truth. If dared to affirm her suspicion and the person turned out to be Vera, she wasn't going to forgive them both. 

"...For your sake."

Jeslyn stared dumbly at him for a while before understanding what he meant, then she burst out into a fit of loud laughter. 

Seeing her like this gladdened Maverick's heart but then…

"Hahahaha… you scared the hell out of me. I thought you wanted to tell me you got a woman pregnant."

"You wouldn't want it, right?"

"Is that a question? Of course, I would hate you and that woman forever… especially if she's Vera. Hmph!" She turned her face away in disgust.

"You don't like her anymore?"

She said-eyed him. "It's a woman's thing." She didn't want to tell him she wasn't comfortable with Vera living in the house anymore for fear that Maverick might treat her badly. After all, she is Valen's biological mother and Valen is still unconscious. No one knows what he really feels for his mother. 

Maverick didn't say more knowing She was displaying jealousy. Vera is lucky that Jeslyn isn't like him.
