Introduction II

Maverick's POV

I really had a long sleepless night after seeing my wife in that dress. I could actually see her whole body through that dress she was wearing. So light and so transparent,but I was not disgusted. Every sight of ladies wearing skimpy dresses always disgusted and annoyed me but there I was ogling at her perfect flawless body.

Red in color.

I think red is her color. She looked gorgeous in that. A second glance at her and my whole body began reacting. My heartbeat rose to beyond normal, I felt some sweats forming on my forehead and my temperature rose a bit.I know it's summer now but I don't think that is a reason enough for me to sweat out for no reason.

I know that since I met Calista my body had always reacted in a crazy manner but this,this was more than madness to me. I had never in my life felt like that towards any woman. Not even the lady I always thought I loved with my heart.

This woman was making me run mad. Her waist long hair was let down and she had no makeup but she looked extremely dashing. How could a lady look so beautiful without any make up on? And how could what she was wearing attract me so much?

My hands itched to touch her. My lips longed for hers so disastrously. I kept on gulping while trying hard not to ogle but my eyes could not leave her firm,round and heavy mountain peaks.

So lucky she was blabbering alot to notice where my eyes were glued,not wanting to look away despite my attempts.

Her image had been in my head the whole night and I could not help the erratic heartbeat and the sweating. I had to take shower almost five time that night to cool off.

I went there to scold her. I tried my best to finish up everything I was doing in NY in time so that I could come back home..for her, I guess.

When Mark, Bruce and Bryce failed to locate Amir in two days, I dealt with my office work at the Firearms Cooperation then moved back to Texas as soon as I could. I could not wait for my men to locate Amir.

That's what this lady had done to me and when I came home,she was avoiding me like plague!

I could not go to bed,I went to see her. She was mad at me for something I did not know until she mentioned something like my desperate, freaking, creepy girlfriend who called to threaten her.

That was not a big deal but she thought I was behind it all..that...hurt!

How could she think so lowly of me!?

With no doupt,I knew that was Addison. I did not even need to curse, I had expected something after her crazy visit the previous night.

FLASHBACK

"Hey baby!"a feminine voice came to my ears,distracting me from the busy work I had engaged myself in on my laptop.

'What the hell is she doing here?' I cursed without even looking up. I already knew it was Addison.

I closed my laptop then looked up.

My eyes widened then narrowed at the same pace when I saw what she was wearing.

Is she trying to seduce me?

I could clearly see her boobs and her now erect nipples and I could see her woman hood. She was wearing a lacy white bra and a lacy pant with a coat which was now open at the front.

Disgusting.

That's the word I could find in my mind when I looked at her.

"What are you wearing? and why are you here?"

I never knew I could be so direct and harsh to Addison until then.

She was taken aback by what I said. She stopped in her track and glared at me then she gradually softened her look and began catwalking towards me with a seductive look on.

"Am wearing this for you baby? Don't you like it?"she was now standing behind me, whispering at my ears.

Like it?...I hate it and she was talking about liking?

I shut my eyes trying hard not lash out on her. This lady had been with me for two good years. She understood me and never went beyond kissing,which she always initiated. She never even tried touching me without my consent,which I never gave and that's why...I liked her but now even the like had dissipated.

She began running her hands all over my chest then moved down to my trousers grabbing my manhood.

That was enough!

I grabbed her hand and twisted it,making her yelp in pain.

"Maverick you are hurting me!"she tried wiggling her hand from my grip but it was in vain.

PRESENT

I was sitting on my swivel chair in my home office when my phone vibrated on the table. I glanced at the name and stiffened not out of fear but because I did not know what next he wanted from me for him to call this early morning.

"Mr Atlas.."I spoke immediately I picked the phone from the table.

The man let out a deep chuckle then spoke.

"I wonder why I still love you son. Is that how you greet your grandpa? anyways how are you my boy?"the man spoke. His voice very deep and his accent that of a Russian.

I could not expect any less after him staying in Russia for five years now.

"Am fine grandpa. Now will you tell me what you want from me because am already married!"I spoke massaging my temples.

He had blackmailed me to hook me up with any lady he saw fit if I did not get married. Thanks to him I now have Calista!

"I taught you better son. That's not how you talk to your old man. I doupt if you really are married or you are just trying to convince us that you are married. Your father tells me that you have a pretty wife. I think we should introduce her to the world. Let them know that she is my grandson's wife. Now you will be back to New York today before nightfall and in two days, I shall spend sometime with her then we will do the introduction. Good morning grandson!"

The phone was then hanged up.

I did not know whether to be happy or mad at this old man. He has a way of forcing issues.But I think am glad that he is forcing this on me, I can't wait to introduce her to the world as my wife.

I called Meshach and asked him to send me a maid to my office. A Rose girl came and I sent her to call Calista for me.

In less than five minutes she was in my office and I informed her that we were to leave for NY in an hour. She seemed mad and decided that she would travel as she was,after lashing out at me.

She looked cute when mad though!

In a black floral palazzo matched with a white top that hardly covered her lower abdomen. Her hair in a messy bun,no make up. She looked so cute but I did not want her to travel that way, everyone would end up ogling at her and am sure I would poke out those eyes but am not ready to add to the list of cruelty that the people have made for me.

When she left the office,I called Jeremy my pilot and asked him to prepare the jet.

***Addison's Apartment****

Addison was fuming with rage. She was mad at herself for taking herself to Maverick,looking like a horny slut. She was dressed like a stripper and yet all she could get was twisting of her arm and a scold.

She took in another puff from the cigarette and exhaled the smoke,letting the tears in her eyes flow freely.

"Maverick you are hurting me!" she remembered how she hissed in pain trying to wriggle out her arm from his grip but he was too strong for her.

He pulled her to his front then pushed back his chair and roughly made her sit on the table.

She would have thought it to be romantic,him being rough with her but the look on his face spoke otherwise.

All she could see in his eyes was disgust and that really hurt her...it injured her ego.

"If you decided to turn yourself into a slut then go to some club and sell yourself out but not in my house. Sluts and strippers are not welcomed in my house!"he growled at her.

She knew that what she wore was so low of her to do but she did it for him. She saw no need of him calling her a slut and all those names.

"Babe...why are saying that to me? It's me Addison!"she tried to remind him with tears in her eyes already. She forgot that Maverick hates the sight of tears and that was another blunder..

Maverick released his grip on her and stepped back,his eyes emitting disgust.

"I am married to Calista...she is my wife and I respect her. Never try to seduce me again. Now leave my house!"

Addison wished that the table would divide into two and swallow her. She was ashamed and she felt disgusted at herself.

"Is all this because of her,huh?"she asked between her sobs.

"That wretched low life and class less ugly girl?"she continued on tears.

What happened next left her shivering. She had never seen this beast form of Maverick. So it was true that he could just turn into a beast! A handsome beast.!
