It's like they are in the depth of darkness, as blood swirled through the air. These are the dead bodies that the Dragon Empire had taken care of. The gang of Snake Eyes. It wasn't just the Snake Eyes but a few more mercenaries that fell into the hands of the Charles Empire. It was one of the branches that they made that is connected to the Empire.

"Done for good." Bull grumbled as they cleaned it up and washed the grass to remove the smell of the blood. They disinfected the area and finally had the bodies on the truck to deliver it to where it belongs. He exhaled and turned to Leon who signed him. They've been wearing goggles and white suits to cover their body and face. Then, they finally left and went to another warehouse to wash up and dispose of the things that they wore.

​​

"So, when will be the wedding between you and Maxi?" Leon asked with a grin while wiping his hair.

"Dude, that's out of line." Bull rolled his eyes. "We just met. We can't possibly get married right away. Also, I want her to be comfortable around me. I know that she's still afraid of me."

"And does she know what you did to the gang?"

"I guess she has an idea." Bull put his shirt on. "Let's leave now. I promised to stay by her side."

"You are silently romantic." Leon grinned and put his shirt on.

Leon added more gasoline on the can so there will be no evidence of them cleaning up dead bodies. Then, Bull had the briefcase as the payment. They used the same car and drove directly to the place where they parked it and used the other car that Leon pulled over from his garage.

It was already ten when they reached home and to their surprise, Maxine was waiting for them. She smiled and quickly hugged Bull. Leon sneered at them and looked at Violet who was still awake with a cup of ice cream. Violet only shrugged as the couple kissed each other. They didn't mind at all. He went to the kitchen to prepare his food but to his surprise, the table was set up with delicious pasta, chicken, and sliced fruits.

"We prepared it five minutes ago," Violet said. "Go and eat now. I'm going to retire to my room." Violet put the cup on the sink. "Also, wash up everything."

He looked at the sink that looked so clean. He already thought that Bull's girlfriend would clean it up since Violet won't do such a thing to his house. Bull came with Maxine and she served them whatever drinks they wanted.

"You cook this?"

"I made the pasta." She smiled at him.

Leon started eating and hummed on the food. Although Bull was good at cooking, never knew that Maxi was also skilled.

"This is amazing, Maxi." He told her.

"I'm glad that you like it." She giggled. "Would you like to have a bath?" Maxi asked Terrence, A.K.A Bull.

"I already had a bath, my dear."

"Alright, call me when you guys are done."

"Why won't you wait for me in our room?" Bull asked her. "I will take care of everything here. You are still injured, Maxi."

She nodded at him as Bull reached her hand and kissed. Leon slumped his shoulders and just mind on his food rather than those lovebirds. After Maxi left, he looked up at Bull.

"Well, what's the plan?" He asked.

"Plan?" Bull asked and enjoyed the white sauce pasta that Maxi made.

"Are you going to marry her~~"

"It's a long way to go. We are only dating for now. I don't want to surprise her by jumping to another level."

"Oh~~okay." Leon nodded.

<><><><>

Terrence went to the room that Leon lent to him. He looked at Maxi who was already in the bed still wearing the shirt that he lent to her. He forgot to buy her clothes and since she's still on her sick leave, he will probably set that up by tomorrow.

"Maxi, I still have lots of shirts here and boxer shorts that you could use. Just take anything you want to use."

"Okay,"

"I will just take a shower." She told him. She slowly slipped off the bed and rubbed her abdomen.

"Have a warm bath, it will relax your muscles."

She nodded at him and did as he suggested. He relaxed on the bed while checking his bank account with half-million after cleaning up the dead bodies. He eyed the small briefcase that he put on the side table. He slipped off from the bed and reached it. He checked the golden coins. It only had a tiny dot in the very middle. Since it's full of gold coins, it's enough to negotiate with the assassins.

The door opened in the bathroom and she came out wearing a towel. She smiled at him and eyed the briefcase.

"What's that?" She creased her brows.

"It's payment." He said. "Payment from my hard work tonight."

"Oh-okay. Are there such payments as gold coins?"

He smiled at her and approached her. He showed it to her.

"It's a real one?" She asked.

"Yes, it's real." He took the gold coin and bit on it. "It's real." He nodded at her.

"Hmm, what hard work?"

"Don't be flustered," He closed the briefcase. "We only clean dead bodies."

"Wh~what?" She exclaimed.

"Plus, five hundred thousand dollars to my bank account."

"Y~seriously?!" She exclaimed. "Then, can I join this squad?"

He laughed and patted her head as he put it on the drawer without locking it. If Maxine took something from it, it only means that he shouldn't trust her. So, he's going to keep it there. He chose a comfortable t-shirt for her, his clean boxer shorts, and a pair of PJ pants that would probably swallow her. But she pushed the PJ pants since she looked like a pixie around him.

The couple lay down beside each other, then he turned off the lights.

"Did you already take your medicine?" He asked. She gently sat up and opened the lampshade.

"I forgot." She took the pills and drank them at once and then, she gulped on the water. She sat still and turned her head to him.

"So, can I join your squad?"

He laughed and patted her head.

"Babe, it's a dangerous one."

"But you earn so well."

"I know. I am here to give you anything you want."

"Hmm," She bounced her head. "Yeah, I can't." She shrugged her shoulders. She moved closer to him and hugged his biceps. "Terrence, how about working at the new restaurant?" She asked.

"It's settled and your interview is in a few days after you recover."

"Got it. I will work hard for you."

He patted her head and kissed her temple.

"Save your money for yourself, okay? If you want, you can go to college and work part-time in that restaurant."

She thought for a while and chewed her lips. She didn't get to college but only a food services course that only takes for six months. It's the only thing that she could afford that's why she became a waitress.

"I can send you to college."

"No!" She shook her head at him. "I don't want you to waste your money on me. I~I want to do it myself."

"Okay," he patted her head. "Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you."

She looked up at him like a lost kitty.

"You already gave me enough. You saved me two times now… that's enough."

He slowly lay her down as he moved over her. He carefully caressed her hair and admired her bright brown eyes. It was big that complimented her round face and slender nose. She also had thick eyelashes that emphasized her beautiful eyes. Her black hair mixed well with her beige skin. She's a little pixie in his eyes and he liked every part of her.

"Terrence," She breathed as she carefully caressed his face. "Terrence… I only feel~~" she flushed as she cut her words.

"What do you feel?" he gave her a sly grin and kissed her nose, down to her lips in a very gentle manner. "Maxi, you have to tell me what you feel."

She closed her eyes hard.

"I only feel horny toward you!" She said without opening her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes to check about his reaction. He looked stiff and his black eyes were staring down at her beautiful big eyes. "It's~~it's true." She mumbled.

"Hmm, was it because I am too nice?" He asked as he sat down beside her and lifted his shirt to show the muscles. Her flushed faces were bright red and he grabbed her hand and gently placed it on his chest. "You can touch me if you want just say so, Maxi. Don't be shy."

She sat up as her hands moved to his massive chest.

"It's been a while since I got laid," he grumbled. "Don't tease me too much because I might not control myself over you."

Her cheeks heated up more, and she pulled her hand.

"Okay, put your shirt on! Let's talk about sex after I had recovered."

He chuckled as he reached her chin and kissed her lips.

"Maxi, I am ready anytime you like." His seductive voice sends volts of aroused hormones to the lower abdomen.
