Later that night, I’m relaxing on the couch wondering what the fuck is taking Mav so long when my alarm on my phone goes off reminding me to take my pill.FUCK. My pill.

Getting up, I fly up the stairs and barge into Mav’s room in search of my bag. Ripping the thing open, I spill all the contents out and fall onto his bed, tears streaming from my face. I hear Mav and Caspian laughing as he walks in. I wipe away my tears so he doesn't see, but it's too late. He walks in and crouches in front of me.

“Beauty, I don’t like when you cry. It makes me murderous. Please tell me what’s wrong.” He says in his gentle yet gruff voice. I shake my head sniffling, feeling so fucking embarrassed but panicked at the same time. Caspian stands in the doorway, shirtless with his hands above him, leaning against the frame. Itake in all of his tattoos and piercings as I rake my eyes up his body. He smirks, and I roll my eyes, focusing on Mav instead. He cups my face, forcing me to look at him.

“My pills. I forgot my pills.” I whisper and he growls.

“You’re crying over drugs? Who the fuck are you?” He yells, and I stand, rearing back as I punch him in the face. His chin whips to the side as blood leaks down his lip.

“How fucking dare you Maverick! You’ve known me for a long time. I’m not some fucking addict, Dickwad. I’m talking about my birth control pills, you dumb fuck!” I yell back, looking at him with disgust as his face drops. He steps forward to say something, but I shake my head.

“Get fucked!” I yell, stomping away from him just for Caspian to not move out of my way.

“Move Demon!” I growl, and he eyes me for a second before wrapping his hand gently around my throat.

“You know, you have a very gorgeous neck. I’d love to collar it one day.” He says and I push him away and head down the stairs with them hot on my ass.

“This was a fucking mistake. I should’ve never come here.” I say as I slam into a hard body. Fuck. Black eyes meet mine as Axel steadies me.

“I’m sorry Axel. I didn’t mean to slam into you.” I say and he nods, letting go of me like his ass is on fire. He looks over to Caspian who's picking up his keys.

“I’ll go get the pills. Tell me where they are.” He says, and I shake my head.

“You can’t just walk into my house and grab my pills. Just take me and I’ll get them.” I say but he shakes his head as Axel whispers something to him. I’ve noticed he’s not much of a talker. I haven’t heard him say a word yet.

“Where are they, Gumdrop?” He asks in a gruff tone.

“My bathroom. If you go through the backyard, my window is slightly open. They are on the sink.” I say and he nods, leaving the house with Axel in tow. I turn and head for the kitchen where the pizza awaits. I find Braxton sitting down at the table watching a boxing movie.

“Can I sit with you? I don’t want to interrupt your movie.” I ask, and he nods.

“Na have a seat Lil’ Mama, eat some pizza. Don’t mind me.” He says and I laugh. Lil Mama? That's a new nickname. Mav grabs plates and a few slices before coming to sit with us.

“Pres, I’m–” but I interrupt.

“Save it, Cyprus. I’m fucking pissed at you. Tonight ain't the night Beast because I’m ready to shred your ass.” I spit as he hands me my plate.Yum, bacon and pepperoni pizza.I take a huge bite and moan. I haven’t had pizza since the last time I've been here, which was months ago. I look up and see both of them staring at me.

“Shit, sorry. I just haven’t eaten yet today. I’m starving.” I laugh. Brax clears his throat and continues to watch the movie on his phone. Every so often he’ll get up and punch the air, acting like he’s in the boxing ring. Both me and Mav laugh at him and before we know it, Caspain and Axel are walking back in the house. Axel hands me my pills with a sad look on his face. Our eyes lock as his fingers run the frame of my face and through a loose piece of my fallen hair. I get lost in his touch for a second, and before I can say anything, he’s gone and I feel cold again.What the hell was that?Caspian grabs a pie and exits the room, but not before stopping next to me, looking down at me like he's waiting for something.

“Thanks Demon, for getting my pills.” I say, and he smiles.

“If you get bored with four eyes, my room is just down the hall. Like I said earlier, I’d love to collar that pretty neck.” He says,then takes off up the stairs, grabbing his controller and headset along the way. I shake my head and look at Mav and Braxton.

“Can we go watch a movie?” I ask, and Mav gets up grabbing the pie and drinks. Brax shakes his head.

“Imma finish this Lil’Mama, then I’ll come hang.” He says and I nod, getting up with my plate and my pills, following Mav out to the living room. He hands me a soda, cracking it open for me. I take a sip and pop my birth control pill, swallowing it down as I sit criss cross on the couch, taking another bite of my pizza. Mav grabs the remote and queues up my favorite movie, ‘The Lost Boys’. I look over at him and want to still be so mad at him, but I can’t, not with a face like his. He glance over in my direction and winks at me.

“I’m really glad you’re here, Beauty.” He says before taking a bite of his pizza.

“Yeah? Me too, Beast. Now shut up and let me get my food on while I watch sexy vampires.” I say and he laughs. We sit back, relax, and before long, I’m cuddling up to him because even though I’ve seen this movie a million times, I still squirm and cover my eyes at certain parts. He wraps his arm around me and I pull the throw blanket over us both. His scent is intoxicating. He always smells like the beach with a side of citrus and fresh flowers. I don’t know how else to describe it, but it's amazing.

“Hey Beauty.” He whispers as a sleeping Braxton starts snoring. We both giggle and I look up at him.

“Yes, Beast?” I whisper back as he cups my face.

“I really want to kiss you right now,” he says and my cheeks inflame but I shake my head.
