Valor

Chapter 27

*Long chapter about 4600 words but this is a big turning point in the story. TW there are mentions of abuse, torture, self harm, rape. 3 POVs in this chapter so you get all the emotions. The next chapter is where it's at though... I'll post it today ;)

Maverick

"You smell like her." I state as Kai walks leisurely into my office. It only took him opening the door for her scent to invade my senses, but when it done it makes my cock hard and my might crazy.

Kai rolls his eyes and plops down on the couch, his legs spread out without a care in the world. He whips out his blade, feeling the sharp edge of the blade as it digs ever so slightly into the tip of her finger drawing a pinpoint of blood.

I let out a low rumble, the vibrations rattling my chest as I heave in air, my body angry and jealous.

"Why do you smell like her?" I growl, my words coming out through clenched teeth. I'm really trying to keep it together right now and it shows. This woman is affecting me more than any woman has ever. She has wormed her way into my heart, and now?

Now there are four people in this world I would die for. I've known her two months at most, and yes, she has my entire soul in the palm of her hand and she doesn't even know it.

"What's up with you Mav?" Kai asks cocking his eyebrow as his eyes move to mine.

"Just answer the question." I already know the answer but I want to punishment myself with the knowledge that Kai gets to be with her, to taste her, to feel inside of her.

Kai furrows his eyebrows in concern as if he's trying to figure out what's going on in my brain.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Kai scoffs as he rises from the couch, pocketing his blade. "You're back to the same dick I see." He gestures to me. I don't get it Mav. You obviously want her it's clear as day. Why are you doing this to yourself."

I rolls my eyes as I bite my tongue, "Shut the fuck up Kai, you know nothing. She's a chore for me. If I wanted her I would have her. She's just another whore."

"Don't talk about her like that!" he snaps, "Then tell me why you care so much about me fucking her?"

I knew they fucked. It shouldn't surprise me, she's already had sex with both of my younger brothers, but it rattles the beast within me. She belongs to me.

No, Gone.

I let the anger simmer down, until my emotions feel like they are bogged down drowning in water. "I see."

Kai sighs, dejected and annoyed at me. I don't blame him, I would be just as upset if I was in his position. Lilah doesn't deserve this shit.

"Don't pull away from us again, Mav. We will survive it, but I'm not sure she will. She doesn't deserve it."

My eyes dart directly into his; our thoughts in the same place for once. Kai and I never agree on anything. He's an impulsive bastard, but I love him nonetheless.

It also shows how much he cares about me that he's saying all this. The Kai I know would be launching himself at me or punching holes in my wall.

What changed?

Lilah.

With one last pitiful look at me, Kai leaves my office, not once looking back. Doesn't he know I'm doing this for her?

Lilah
