Chapter 79 - Seventy-nine : The Birth Month Request (1/2)

Note : Steamy scene ahead.

Maya's POV

My jaw dropped while my eyes widened in shock when I realized Nik's birth month was May, which means I owe him a baby.

”He can't be serious! ” I thought out loud unknowingly

His brows lifted while his lips curled up in a sardonic smirk ” Why? You're doubting my capability ? ”

I choked ”O-of course not ” a huge lump of saliva went down my throat quickly and I switched to bootlicking ” How could I doubt your capability? You're the almighty Niklaus ”

His eyes twinkled humorously, he was enjoying this ” But I heard you say so or am I turning deaf ”

I pressed my lips together and felt like crying, he was intentionally making this difficult for me - I was between the devil and the deep blue sea.

I knew he would be able to tell I lied if I dare to say otherwise, he didn't get to the position he is today if he wasn't able to study and read people perfectly.

Neither could I say he heard wrongly, else he would probably misinterpret and quibble on my word purposely, insisting I claim he's deaf.

I banged my head against the wall internally , Niklaus would be the death of me !

So I came up with a better solution.

”But it isn't even May yet, I don't need to fulfill this request until your birthday comes up right ? We should wait until the time is ripe ”I exploited the loophole at once.

Niklaus chuckled in amusement ” You're not getting away from this ” he said and suddenly leaned against me, trapping me with his body.

He went on ” It would be much better if your baby bump appears right on my birthday ”

My eyes widened like saucers but he wasn't done yet ” Which means we should start working on that bump appearing, shouldn't we? ” he threw at me with a lopsided smile.

My throat dried up when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck . I had to think of something fast else I'll get eaten up tonight.

”Fine, we'll do it your way but that would be after you've gone down on your knees and proposed to me ” I came up with a solid excuse and rejoiced internally - at lest that would keep him away for a while.

” Touché ” he murmured and rested his jaw on his knuckles, looking down at me with an amused expression ” You fight dirty tigress ”

”Fine then, Let's go with what you just said ” He concurred at last or so I thought ” But that means it's my own turn to fulfill your birth month request ” he reminded me with a smug smile.

Shit, I forgot about that. My birth month was November.

He breathed into my ears ” You know how much I love leaving my mark on you ”

Like someone scalded by a hot iron , I pushed him away and sprang to my feet ” You don't need to fulfill any requests, I'm totally good ” I said a little bit out of breath.

As usual Nik didn't give up and rose to his feet too, approaching me with an excited glint in his eyes ; he loved the thrill of the chase.

I began to take a step back as he approached me slowly with a smile that spoke volumes plastered on his face.

At once, I tried to dive to the side with the intention of making a reach for the door but he grabbed me by the waist and pushed me up against the wall, knocking the breath out of me.
