Yeah, probably cry.
Assuming my body could produce tears in this state of thirst. I’d lost the ability to sweat a few days earlier, which was actually kind of nice.
The door opened, and I followed Maverick through. Then stopped abruptly.
My nostrils flared.
My eyes closed, and I shuddered.
I must’ve just walked into Maverick’s apartment or man cave or something, because his scent was so thick in the air, it was unreal.
The man was dessert.
Mouth-watering, fang-throbbing,dessert.
I hadn’t even known fangs could throb before I met him.
There were other scents in the room too, and they were recent, but unnoticeable compared to Maverick’s.
Someone gave a fake cough.
My eyes flew open. I found Maverick staring at me, his emerald irises glowing again.
Rhone made an annoyed sound from a room behind the Alpha. “Stop getting high off each other’s scents.”
My face flushed. Or would’ve, if I hadn’t currently been lacking in the blood department. I guess hunger was good for one thing.
I hadn’t realized they noticed how Maverick’s scent affected me.
He didn’t move, so I slipped past him and joined Rhone in the room.
It was an office. Maverick’s office, if the heavy hit of his scent told me anything.
There was a giant, L-shaped desk in the middle of the room. An ergonomic chair sat inside the L, and two others were on the outside of it.
Rhone was already sprawled out in the seat closest to the wall.
I was tempted to sit in the chair that obviously belonged to Maverick, but smart enough to realize that kind of sass could cause more problems for me.
So, my ass met the one next to Rhone’s.
Maverick sat down in the remaining chair. His eyes were still glowing.
“What do I have to do to get out of here?” I asked.
“We get to decide, just like that?” Maverick lifted an eyebrow.
“I’m not exactly in the position to negotiate right now, am I?”
Neither of them replied.
It made me more than a little uneasy.
“Just rip off the bandaid, guys.”
Was I allowed to call the gigantic werewolvesguys? It was too late to take it back, so I guess.
Maverick nodded once. “We need you to go back to work.”
