Earn His Keep
Locking her hands behind her back, Maxen restrained Olivia from sending him another blow. He kissed her lips which kept her from spewing words of hate as Olivia's chest heave in anger.
"Baby, stop it."
Everyone in the room raised an eyebrow upon hearing his endearment to Olivia, including Eli who hid the smirk on his face behind the teacup in his hand.
Left with no choice, he had to do something to pacify Olivia or else there's a high chance that Maxen's blue blood will spill in the middle of the day right before his very eyes. Certainly, he's not a big fan of violence and bloodshed.
He placed the cup on top of the coffee table and slithered towards his cousin and Maxen who were now on a standstill by the wall to ceiling windows in the living room.
