Note : Steamy scene ahead.

Maya's POV

My jaw dropped while my eyes widened in shock when I realized Nik's birth month was May, which means I owe him a baby.

"He can't be serious! " I thought out loud unknowingly

His brows lifted while his lips curled up in a sardonic smirk " Why? You're doubting my capability ? "

I choked "O-of course not " a huge lump of saliva went down my throat quickly and I switched to bootlicking " How could I doubt your capability? You're the almighty Niklaus "

His eyes twinkled humorously, he was enjoying this " But I heard you say so or am I turning deaf "

I pressed my lips together and felt like crying, he was intentionally making this difficult for me - I was between the devil and the deep blue sea.

I knew he would be able to tell I lied if I dare to say otherwise, he didn't get to the position he is today if he wasn't able to study and read people perfectly.

Neither could I say he heard wrongly, else he would probably misinterpret and quibble on my word purposely, insisting I claim he's deaf.

I banged my head against the wall internally , Niklaus would be the death of me !

So I came up with a better solution.

"But it isn't even May yet, I don't need to fulfill this request until your birthday comes up right ? We should wait until the time is ripe "I exploited the loophole at once.

Niklaus chuckled in amusement " You're not getting away from this " he said and suddenly leaned against me, trapping me with his body.

He went on " It would be much better if your baby bump appears right on my birthday "

My eyes widened like saucers but he wasn't done yet " Which means we should start working on that bump appearing, shouldn't we? " he threw at me with a lopsided smile.

My throat dried up when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck . I had to think of something fast else I'll get eaten up tonight.

"Fine, we'll do it your way but that would be after you've gone down on your knees and proposed to me " I came up with a solid excuse and rejoiced internally - at lest that would keep him away for a while.

" Touché " he murmured and rested his jaw on his knuckles, looking down at me with an amused expression " You fight dirty tigress "

"Fine then, Let's go with what you just said " He concurred at last or so I thought " But that means it's my own turn to fulfill your birth month request " he reminded me with a smug smile.

Shit, I forgot about that. My birth month was November.

He breathed into my ears " You know how much I love leaving my mark on you "

Like someone scalded by a hot iron , I pushed him away and sprang to my feet " You don't need to fulfill any requests, I'm totally good " I said a little bit out of breath.

As usual Nik didn't give up and rose to his feet too, approaching me with an excited glint in his eyes ; he loved the thrill of the chase.

I began to take a step back as he approached me slowly with a smile that spoke volumes plastered on his face.

At once, I tried to dive to the side with the intention of making a reach for the door but he grabbed me by the waist and pushed me up against the wall, knocking the breath out of me.

"Gotcha " He rasped and held my hands above my head with a wicked smile that spoke of many, many things to come.

"Niklaus " I struggled to be set free but he back me further up against the wall and used his knee to part my thigh.

"I told you you can't escape me " he brushed my hair to the side and whispered into my ears causing my cheek to heat up .

He added " Unless I want you to " and then let his teeth graze my earlobe causing me to shiver.

Niklaus looked into my eyes and said to me as if calling for a toast " To your birth month " he then dipped his head and began to kiss my neck and I threw back my head with a moan.

I didn't know what to feel anymore cause I was feeling a rollercoaster of emotion all at once. I gasped softly when I felt Niklaus bite my skin .

"First mark " He whispered against my skin and my toes curled up.

"Niklaus " I breathed, struggling to free my hands, I couldn't stand this whole torture without keeping my hands busy.

As if he read my mind, he freed my hands at once but grabbed my butt and hoisted me up in his arms while my legs wrapped around his waist of its own volition.

I felt him moving and the next I knew we were lying on the bed and he was continuously raining kisses down my neck.

He suddenly came to rest on that sensitive spot between my neck and shoulder, suckling it , then bit down and I found myself moaning and threading my hands through his hair.

Unable to stand this slow torture anymore, I grabbed the front of his tee-shirt and pulled him in, pressing his lips against mine.

I felt him smile against my lips as he took over while my eyes shut close. He gave me a long deep passionate kiss while running his hands down my exposed laps which the dress failed to cover.

He sucked on my bottom lips and I wrapped my legs tighter while releasing little, breathy sounds . I felt like pudding in his hands , Niklaus knows how to leave me craving for more and I was sure craving for more if he had not whispered into my ears,

"At this rate, I might get my birth month request fulfilled "

My eyes snapped open at once .

Speechless and nearly panting , I pushed against his chest trying to pull away from him all to no avail.

Then he cocked a brow and reminded me "Your legs are wrapped around my waist remember? "

Oh my God, my face burned in shame and I wished there was an ejector seat to take me out of here.

I quickly released him and he got off me and pushed himself to the other side of the bed with a mocking smile on his lips.

I covered my face in shame but Niklaus rolled towards me and said " You don't need to be shy, I like my woman being dominant in bed "

I turned and glared at him.

"Alright, don't worry. I'll be the one to warm your bed while you sit back and enjoy the ride . Is that good with you? " he teased while trying to keep a straight face.

My glare intensified

Then he gave out a hearty laugh, reached out and snuggled against me, putting an arm around my waist.

"Ahh that reminds me, we have a charity gala to attend tomorrow "
