Nexus' face couldn't be described as he looked at Maximino, who's right in front of him and staring at him intensely.

It has been a week since he asked Michael to let him stay at his house. And for a week, no Maximino has shown up. He thought he wouldn't bother him anymore after everything that he told him. He even thought of going back to Michael's club.

But he was wrong. For Maximino found him and is right now right in front of him.

He secretly thanked the gate of Michael's house that somehow became the barrier between him and Maximino, especially now that Michael is not around for he has some important matters to attend to. He somehow felt safe. Maximino won't be able to do whatever he intends to do so easily.

He didn't thought that he would be able to find Michael's address. Michael is a very private person and only a few know his whereabouts. And he is pretty sure that those few people wouldn't give in that easily, telling him where Michael's adress is, not unless Maximino used his power and money to tame them.

"So, this is where you have been hiding." Maximino said in a serious voice.

"What are you doing here? We already talked about this, didn't we?" He said with conviction.

"I don't remember agreeing to all of the things that you said." Maximino's quick response to him just made even more annoyed.

"Aren't you really going to stop pestering me? How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to live with you and I don't wanna be with you? I don't even want to be your mate, in the first place!"

"Well, you are already my mate. We are already paired so no matter how many times you tell me that you don't like me, it wouldn't change a thing. I am already a part of you, Nexus."

Nexus clenched his fist. He started thinking of giving him a punch in the face.

He's a part of him now? How bold of him to say those words. Has he forgotten what he did to him?

"Fuck off, Maximino. Leave me alone and don't ever come back here." He firmly said before he turned his back on him.

Talking with Maximino is just a waste of time, especially with the kind of thinking he has.

He was about to enter the house when suddenly, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him that surprised him. And he was even more surprised to see that it was Maximino who grabbed and pulled him.

How the hell did he get in?!

He took a glance at the gate and his eyes widened when he saw that it was open.

How did that happen? I made sure that it was locked! How the hell did he open it?! He thought.

"You think you can run away from me again?" Maximino said in a serious voice that got his attention back. "I already gave you enough time, Nexus. I let you wander off and be at some other guy's house for more than a week. I've let you do whatever you want. I've let you act like a kid. I have been patient, Nexus. But my patience isn't that long enough. So now, I am taking you back. I am taking you home."

And even before Nexus could recover from the shock, Maximino picked him up. His face was on his behind.

He was surprised by what he did but he recovered immediately. He struggled and repeatedly punched his back but Maximino just pretended as if he's not feeling anything and just kept walking out of Michael's house.

"Put me down, you, son of a bitch!" He said angrily as he continued to struggle.

But Maximino just give his butt a slap that made him yelp. "Behave, Nexus. You don't want to fall into the ground, don't you?" He said as if he did nothing.

"You, asshole. This is kidnapping! Put me down!" He shouted angrily and punched his back over and over again. But Maximino didn't even budge. Instead, his grip just tightened on him, like he didn't have any intention to let him go. "If you won't let me go, I'll shout!" He threatened.

"Then I'd just gladly tell them that you are my husband and we're just having a little lover's quarrel. That you got mad at me and then you run away so I am here to bring you back." Maximino quickly answered.

His ears twitched at what he said and it doubled the annoyance he's feeling for him. He intensified the blows he was giving on his back and he struggled even more but Maximino just gave his butt another slap.

"Stop slapping my ass, you motherfucker!"

"Then instead of slapping it, why don't you let me fuck this ass instead?" Maximino said and gently stroked his ass which him flinch.

"Asshole!"

Maximino just gave him with a loud laugh as an answer then shook his head.

"Nexus, Nexus, Nexus. You really never fails to amuse me."

Instead of answering what he said, he just continued the struggle.

Ah, shit! Why is it that Michael hasn't arrived yet? Why is it that he is always away whenever I really need him? He thought.

Nexus did everything he could to let Maximino release him. But no matter what he does, he really wouldn't let him go. Until they reached his car, where his driver was waiting, and he still couldn't get away from his grip.

With one hand, Maximino opened the door of the backseat of his car and threw Nexus, who's still struggling, inside.

"Ouch! You, fucker!" Nexus complained when his body fell on the car seat and hit his head on the roof of the car. "I will fucking kill you, motherfucker!" He said through gritted teeth.

But Maximino ignored him. Instead, he just pushed him gently and then he entered the car and sat next to him, then he closed the door and signaled his driver to start the car.

The driver quickly complied and immediately started the car. And since he was still not able to sit properly, he almost fell on the flooe and bump his head in the chair due to the sudden operation of the car. Fortunately, Maximino was quick to catch him.

He quickly pushed Maximino away.

"Don't touch me!" He yelled.

But it seems that Maximino really plans to be deaf for the whole day for he just acted as if he didn't hear anything and he just pushed him, causing him to lean on the chair.

"What!" He yelled again. "I said, don't touch me ---" But he could not continue what he was about to say when Maximino suddenly leaned closer to him until their faces were only inches apart.

His eyes widened in shock and his lips parted slightly. Their eyes met. Maximino's eyes bore into his and for some reason, he could not avoid his gaze. Their lips are so close that he can now smell the mixed scent of his mouth and the perfume he uses.

Is this motherfucker going to kiss me again? He asked himself.

They kept staring at each other's eyes. No one's backing down. Not until Nexus heard a "click" sound. And that was the signal for him to wake up.

He looked at where that sound was coming from and his eyes just widened even more when he saw the seatbelt lock.

Maximino tap his chest lightly that caught his attention again. He looked back at him. "You need this. For protection." He said and he could clearly see the mischief in his eyes which made his cheeks warm. "So, you were saying?" He asked while grinning from ear to ear.

The annoyance and anger he felt for him arose. And before he knew it, his clenched palm already went to Maximino's chest and gave him a punch that made the guy cough.

"Asshole!" He yelled at him and averted his eyes to the window as he secretly cursed Maximino.

Fuck you, Maximino. Fuck you. He chanted repeatedly inside his head.
