Chapter 241 - Slew of Profanities (1/2)

Maxen let out a hearty laugh at Olivia's lack of trust in her own brother. Who would blame her anyway?

Oliver oozed with so much c.o.c.kiness that one would often find themselves itching whether he could deliver—may it be a business deal or a hidden talent that a few people in his circle knew he had.

Clawing Olivia's waist and pinning her to his side, he planted a kiss to the side of her head whilst they walked towards the plane.

Before boarding the plane, Maxen stepped away from the door and let other passengers get in before them.

He triple-checked Olivia's harness, enjoying the rare occasion that Olivia was under his thumb, behaving like a sheep.

”Good girl Olivia is such a turn on,” he voiced out his arousal. A corner of his mouth tilted in a s.e.xy half-smile as he trained his gaze on her.

”But evil Olivia is so much better.” she breathed out when Maxen tightened her leg strap.

”Unless I am not on the receiving end of evil Olivia's wrath, then yes, she does know how to do a number on someone.”

”I have a long list, but I won't bother including your name in it.”

Maxen held both of his hands up in a surrender. ”Okay. Okay. As you wish, Your Highness.”

He heard the squeak in her voice which showed a peep of her vulnerability. But Olivia being Olivia never exposed it.

Like always, she hid her discomfort behind the passive look on her face which he found endearing as well.

It takes a lot of determination and a stomach made of steel to collect your emotions and bottle it, so people won't dare manipulate her with her own sensitivity to matters presented at hand.

From boarding to lift-off, everything happened so fast that Olivia didn't realize Maxen tethered himself to her until he snapped her from her out of her mantra-zone as he gave her final instructions upon reaching the altitude required for skydiving in tandem.

Earlier after they had each other for breakfast, Maxen informed her that he's taking her out for an activity together with Oliver and Wyatt.

Little did she know she would be jumping out of a plane, a thousand feet up in the air.

She signed up for it anyway. She thought it was exactly what she needed after her breakdown last night.

Her hormones were all over the place and she needed a shock of adrenaline to calm her nerves and clear her mind.

Looking over her shoulders, she smiled at Maxen, mouthing a 'thank you'.

”I got you, baby. And… you're welcome,” Maxen said. It was loud enough for her to hear him amidst the slapping air and blaring rotors of the plane.

A smile ghosted Olivia's lips. Maybe Maxen was the reason why she agreed on sky jumping without blinking.

The thought of him beside her gave her the assurance that she was not alone and he would always be there beside her.

It was his cue for Maxen and Olivia to get up from their seat and prepare for jump-off.

Standing in a spot marked with an 'x' by the open plane doors, Olivia angled her head, peering up at Maxen.
