195 Make Me Yours

What has she done? Mimi questioned herself at the last minute after her furious anger subsided. Her hands wouldn’t stop shaking and she had to clasp them together while her chest heaved with emotion.

Did she just beat up a man? Not to mention one related to the Mafia.

“Oh my God!” Mimi cried out, her hands on her head. What has she gotten herself into? What if Draco comes back for revenge and targets her family if he can’t get to her. God, she was doomed! Mimi loved her parents too much to lose them.

Her mind then drifted over to one person, the only one who could readily give her the protection she needed with ease and she turned with relief mixed with anticipation – only to find her intended savior laughing.

Mimi was dumbfounded, what was going on? She was petrified by the situation and he was smiling?

She was offended.

“Gosh, you should have seen his – ouch!”Cried out Victor who still wasn’t done laughing. However, he couldn’t finish the next trail of laughter because he felt a jab on his stomach and he yelped at once.

He looked up to meet those honey-brown eyes currently seething with irritation. Errh, it seems he overdid it this time.

“How can you hit a patient?” Victor complained dramatically “What if you broke something?” He joked, only to realize his bestie wasn’t in the mood and his grin vanished at once.

.....

“Come on, we have to go now, what if he comes after my family?” She urged him to his feet but that failed miserably because Victor would not move a muscle.

“That’s not going to happen,” Victor said, trying to assure her upon realizing how serious she was about the matter.

Vexed with his stubbornness, she squatted down in front of him, “How can you be so sure?” Mimi highly doubted that. She saw the look in Draco’s eyes before he was pulled away. Those furious blank orbs promised vengeance.

“Because the moment he touches a hair on you or your parents, I’ll massacre everyone and everything he cares about,”

A shiver climbed down Mimi’s spine, the intensity she saw in Victor’s eyes told her he was not joking at all. He would surely make true of his words and she had seen firsthand the destruction he was capable of.

His gray eyes no longer glinted with that lingering mischief, rather it was cold, ferocious, and sizzled with the attraction, no, scratch that, the tension between them. What fucking attraction?! They promised to stay the fuck out of each other’s life hours ago.

Thanks to that comment, Mimi’s lips parted unconsciously, and she found herself asking, “Why would you do that? Why would you endanger your life for someone you kicked out of your life hours ago? Why are you doing all of this?”

He smiled darkly, “What about you? Did you have a reason for fighting Draco for me?” Victor asked, without taking his eyes off her.

His gaze was so transfixed on her as if she was the only thing he could see right now and that made her one hell of uncomfortable. Victor was a very attractive man and when he looked at you as if you were the best thing that happened to him, it was smoldering and sent heat to her core – a reaction she least expected.

She shook her head, “That was different?”

“How different?” He was not giving up on this issue anytime soon and why was she even shy? She should answer him boldly and be done with him.

So she looked straight into his eyes – a big mistake – and tried not to relish her hot he looks right now, exuding his masculine dominance – even though he was covered in dirt and bruises.

Something must be wrong with her head.

Mimi took a deep breath, “I was simply angry and fought without my senses. But don’t worry, it won’t happen again, and we should be done with this conversation.” she wanted to end it already.

But Victor had a different idea, “Really?” he went on. Apparently, this was not the end for him and he needed more answers.

“Really, what?” Exhaustion finally began to seep into her bones. Her heart had been pumping earlier and Mimi was filled with energy because she had a rush of adrenaline. Now the hormone was gone, it was as if she crash-landed.

Mimi watched cautiously when he suddenly reached out and held her jaw firmly without causing her pain, only to caress her chin with his thumb saying in a raspy, low tone, “Is that why you claimed me as yours?”

“Huh?” Mimi hardly heard that question, her attention was focused on the sensations those caresses invoked in her. And when she finally comprehended that question, her eyes widened while heat warmed her cheeks.

“No, that’s not it,” she said, breathlessly. God, what was he doing to her? He had to stop touching her. Yet, she didn’t protest against his touch.

Mimi managed to say, “I only said that in the heat of the moment,”

“Mmm-hmm?” Victor murmured with his brows raised. He didn’t believe her.

“I’m serious, I’m telling the truth?!” Mimi raised her voice, trying to defend herself.

But Victor merely continued to caress her skin, saying languidly, “That’s no reason to get all worked up,” He drawled, “What if I wanted you to make me yours?”

Bam!

Mimi felt as if she heard wrong, what did he just say?

The stunned Mimi opened her mouth to say a word yet helplessly closed it once again. She gulped down saliva, and he noticed that because his hand caressed down to her neck.

A good shiver went down her spine.

No, this had to stop.

She snatched his hand at once.

“Please,”

He understood her and didn’t touch her again.

Mimi licked her lips nervously, how was she going to go about this conversation? This was really unexpected and awkward. Victor was interested in her?

“I – I eh, don’t think this is the appropriate time and environment for this kind of conversation?” She said, hoping they moved this conversation to another day and time. She needed to rest and wrap her head around the events of the day.

However, to Mimi’s greatest shock, Victor asked, “What conversation?”

“What?”

Mimi blinked. Twice.

Then it hit her, Victor was pulling her legs.

“You asshole!” She wrapped her hands around his neck to strangle and end his pathetic life herself. He had been playing around with her feelings all this while?

Victor quickly cried out upon realizing the danger he was in, “Please stop, my bestie, I’m a patient!”
