Chapter 60
“ I will not do such thing,” Maximus hissed angrily, but Eiten only stared at him, as if he was talking in different language.
“Let’s be honest with each other,” Ethan said, as he sighed deeply. “We know what’s going to happen, if I didn’t come to you first like this and explain the situation, even though deep down you know very well, that everything was only in your head p>
Eiten was talking about Maximus worse assumption about what he had done, or what they were doing when they went outside.
“Fine. Now you can leave. I want to talk with her p>
Eiten gave him a suspicious look. He was not convinced that Maximus wouldn’t do anything drastic, especially after what he pulled last time, but then what else he could do? It was not like he could stop him from seeing his own mate.
“Don’t be a dick, Max. We both agreed there was something more into the story.” They agreed on this, but Declan was another story, the royal beta still believed Rania was bad news.
Maximus was not really happy with the reminder. “I know what I am doing p>
“I don’t think so,” Eiten mumbled, but then he immediately rushed out of the room, out of Maximus’s reach because his comment pissed him off, and he didn’t want Rania to meet him when he was annoyed because of
him.
And once Eiten was outside, he saw Rania looked very tense. She opened her mouth, wanted to ask about something, but then closed them again. She looked distress. By now, she must have known that Maximus was inside, and he was waiting for her.
“I don’t want to go inside,” Rania said in a small voice. If Eiten was not a shifter, he might miss what she said.
“Don’t worry, he is tamed now. He will be fine p>
Rania gave him a look that told him that she didn’t believe him at all. Well, to be fair, Eiten didn’t believe what Maximus said either that he would be nice to Rania.
“It’s okay, he is only worry about you, and annoyed because I didn’t take him as well.” Eiten tried to sound light in this information, as he patted her shoulder, but Rania still was not convinced. “Go inside, and enjoy your new dress p>
Rania seemed contemplating to run away, but quickly realized that was not an option.
“It’s okay. Trust me.” Eiten patted her shoulder, and Rania flinched.
She remembered the last time Maximus smelled Eiten’s scent on her, he lashed out and accused her something horrible. Even though, by now, it was already so late, since Eiten’s scent was all over her, because they went out together for a whole day.
“Go inside, you will be fine, trust me p>
“I don’t trust anyone.” Rania didn’t say it because she hated him, but she said it because that was what she felt. She had no one to trust to for years, therefore giving her trust to someone was something she found hard to do.
“You will be fine p>
Rania then entered the room, two warriors came with her too to put down her new dress. There were several shopping bags. Twenty at least.
Inside the room, Rania saw Maximus was sitting on the edge of the bed, he stood up when she came inside, and Rania found herself unable to move. She squatted down, pretending to check the shopping bags.
“Have you had fun today?” Maximus asked, he stood behind Rania, and she felt her back was so hot, the tension in the room became thicker when he moved closer to her.
“Yes,” Rania replied with a nod, but she still refused to look at him directly. She had her back against him. She prayed for him to leave her alone.
“I see.” Maximus nodded. He looked the shopping bag that was on the floor, and then squatted down next to her. She flinched, and he tried not to see that. “Do you like all of these p>
“Yes…” Rania didn’t know what to do with her hands, she only checked all the dress inside the bags.
However, she actually didn’t do anything, and once she was finished with them all, she contemplated to check them again from the beginning, which was a silly thing to do.
“Don’t you want to try them?” Maximus asked all of sudden when he saw Rania didn’t know what to do.
“No.” Rania shook her head.
“Why not? I want to see you in them.” It still annoyed Maximus because Eiten was the one, who got to see her in them first, but then he tried his best to rein his temper. He did it well this far, and he didn’t want to ruin it. The atmosphere seemed right.
“No…” Rania said in a small voice.
“Come on, try this one. I want to see you in them.” Maximus pulled out a red dress, which looked very extravagant for her taste. He was sure this was Eiten’s doing, since this kind of bold color wouldn’t be something that Rania picked up.
Rania contemplated for a while, she stared at the dress, but didn’t immediately take it.
“Or try this one.” Maximus took another dress in a bright yellow color, he tried to find something neutral, but there was none. Eiten went overboard with his taste, and Rania wouldn’t know any better how to deal with the royal gamma’s persuasion.
When Maximus thought she would decline again, Rania took a dress in brown color. “I want to try this p>
“Sure.” Maximus nodded encouraging her. This was great. So far, there was nothing that could make them at odd, as long as he kept his anger in check. “Try it p>
However, at this point, he didn’t think there would be something that could make him angry.
Rania stood up, and she went to the bathroom. Maximus followed her by taking three more dresses in dull color, because it seemed, Rania liked this tone better.
Yet, even the dull color still looked fancy with a lot of crystal as the accessories.
Rania came out of the bathroom three minutes later, wearing the brown dress that reached her knees with flared sleeves, and an intricated gold thread around the chest area. She looked beautiful in it.
The color of her dress complimented the color of her hair.
She looked nervous, and fidgeted with the hem of her dress, trying to pull it down a little, since she was not used to wear anything aside from her pants. Not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t have any choice, since those were the only clothes she had.
Maximus stood up, he approached her, and then made her twirled, which in an instant, her face turned red.
“You look beautiful,” he said in his deep voice.
“I don’t think I am,” Rania mumbled to herself. “But, the dress is beautiful p>
“No, you are beautiful,” Maximus said again, he placed his arm around her waist, and then pulled her closer, he leaned over, but didn’t immediately kiss her.
Rarely enough, Maximus moved very slow, as if he gave Rania an option to push him away, but when she didn’t, he kissed her gently. Her lips tasted like mint.
