After the burning kiss, they'd both missed so much, Max still felt uncomfortable about the whole situation. If he had to sum up what Trevor had just told him, he would say that "Trevor didn't think what he felt for him or his love for him was strong enough to get through the situation he was in now.' Max wasn't naïve, he knew that his partner would have to deal with even more difficulties. He was a little worried thinking that the love Trevor had for him couldn't give him enough courage to stand by him confidently.
He frowned as he thought about the fact that Trevor could leave him at any time if he couldn't take it anymore. Max's mind buzzed with the thought that Trevor could run from him, and he didn't know what to do to stop him. He could do anything to protect him, that was for sure, but he knew he couldn't fight off all the attacks that might be aimed at Trevor. So Trevor had to be strong to deal with it all. Now he feared that Trevor would either back down. As he was lost in his thoughts of how to stop Trevor from leaving him, Max felt Trevor's hands gently grab him. He woke from his trance and looked at Trevor, whose green eyes demanded attention.
"You know, the day of the gas incident, all I could think about was you. Even though I was scared, because I missed a death threat, my thoughts were full of you! At that time, a question ran through my mind: what would you have done if something had really happened to me if I had disappeared from your side forever? It might be presumptuous of me to think that way, but I thought that you'd hurt yourself because you'd blame yourself. And I really can't let that happen. I know I can be selfish, but knowing that you're suffering because of me hurts me more than anything else in this world. Because you're now the person I love most in this world."
Max was stunned by Trevor's words and felt a stab of shame in his heart. All he could think of was that Trevor had decided to leave him, all he could think of was how he could stop Trevor from leaving his side, all he could think of was how he will live without Trevor, not even what Trevor might really feel or need right now! He was the selfish one this time, he thought, and that realisation made him feel ashamed of himself.
"Babe, I..."
"I decided to put some distance between us because I really wanted to get stronger, I mean, I wanted some time to prepare for the coming war. I know there would be more coming my way, and if I want to protect you as much as you do, I need to get stronger in my mind! And I can't do that with you by my side." Trevor continued with his speech, stopping Max from talking. Max didn't understand what Trevor was trying to imply with his last sentence, and Trevor could see it in his eyes.
So he added, "Because when you're around me, when our hearts are connected, I tend to put the blame of what happened to me on you or I tend to rely on you for everything, I don't know why, maybe it's an Alpha and Omega thing, since you're the strongest, does the weakest rely on you?! ".
Max was feeling all sorts of emotions at that moment. He was glad that Trevor wasn't really distancing himself from him, ashamed of his selfish thoughts, a little confused as to why his presence by Trevor's side wasn't helping him, but overall he understood that Trevor wasn't really thinking of pulling away and leaving him, but that he wanted to be strong for him, for their love. Max felt overwhelmed at that moment and hugged his boyfriend tightly, whispering, "I'm sorry, babe, I... I was even starting to doubt you... I'm really sorry, babe!'
"Really! Now I'm pissed off! Do you've that little faith in yourself, babe?" Trevor looked Max in the eye with a small sad smile.
"No, it's just... I don't know... I guess I'm too scared of losing you! So, when you put some distance between us, my mind goes wild, and I always think of the worst..." Max laughed shyly, "I didn't know I was so insecure until I met you! You know..."
"Don't worry dear, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon! You're my most important person now, how could I bear to live without you? " Trevor reassured his man with a little kiss on the forehead.
"But I'm still upset with your lack of faith Mr. Klayne, how will you repay me?" Asked Trevor with a teasing tone and a smirk on his lips.
"Okay, I give up, what does my big grumpy baby want from me, to forgive me?" Max coaxed Trevor, knowing full well that the latter was teasing him.
"Nothing really big... Since I don't have a car now, I just want... You know one of your cars!"
"Which one?" Max asked with a raised eyebrow, having a bad feeling.
"Well your favourite one!!!" said Trevor happily !
"Eeerh babe you know that..."
"What don't you want to give it to me?" Trevor asked with a sharp look and crossed his hand.
"I do!!! I do! Why wouldn't I? Anything for my baby..." Max said, aghast, his beautiful car was gone!
"And a week without your hands on me!!!" added Trevor.
"Wait, what???? But babe, I already gave you my car!!!" Max pouted, that wasn't fair, his beloved car was already gone!
"So?"
"Why are you punishing yourself like this, mhh? When you know you can't hold it yourself!!!" Max tried to reason with Trevor by attempting reverse psychology.
"I'm not an insatiable beast like you, honey, I can hold back, while on the contrary, it will be a difficult task for you!" He leaned towards Max and whispered, "If you sleep next to me every night and my sweet smell engulfs all your senses, my seductive omega pheromones tease you every night, I bet our Alpha here will lose control in three days!"
In fact, Max was already losing it. Trevor's hot breath caressing his ears and his wonderful scent was already driving him crazy. But he couldn't let Trevor win so easily! He swore in his head that he wouldn't lose.
"Babe, you're the one who always pounces on me like a hungry beast! I can definitely hold my need!!", Max confidently looked Trevor in the eye with a determined look.
"Are you sure? That's hard to believe, look at you," Trevor pointed his finger at Max's bump showing in his trousers. Max looked down at himself and cursed himself, he hadn't even noticed what was going on in his trousers as it had become a habit every time he was with Trevor, his little one will act on his own! He looked at Trevor with a wicked grin, "Are you really going to leave me like this?" asked Max seductively, leaning dangerously towards Trevor.
Trevor swallowed when Max was near him. Max's pheromones were so arousing he could already feel his body responding to him. He frowned and nudged him. "Yeah, I'll be happy to let you take care of it yourself!" said Trevor before running into the kitchen.
Max could only sigh at his misfortune.
Having tasted a little of life as a Max Klayne boyfriend, Trevor was now ever vigilant, he had to swear to himself that he wouldn't let anything come between his relationship with Max.
One thing at least was good, Max's aloof expression and demeanour were enough to keep people from getting too close to him. His dominant aura could be seen in his golden eyes, every time someone annoyed him, the colour of his eyes seemed to turn into the colour of fire, and Trevor was satisfied with that! No one was allowed near his man!.
