Chapter 178 177. Important Matter (2).

"And here is a compensation." Muffled voice sounded in front of her.

'I don't want it, and besides I'm here for another important matter!! Ah, right I have to.....' Faye's thoughts were cut short when she felt Max's firm grip around her wrist, not that she resisted his touch, but she suddenly felt something hard and her whole body stiffened.

'Wha....' She slowly raised her head and saw her hand on Max's abs; she moved her hand on her own, dazed.

"....." Only after she finished feeling every inch of his abs, she snapped out of her daze and slowly looked up at Max's face.

"Y-You done?" He asked, biting his t-shirt and averting his gaze with his bright red ears, to show off his abs.

"Whoa, is he embarrassed?" Faye mumbled out involuntarily while staring at Max act all embarrassed.

"Yes! I'm embarrassed! Who won't get embarrassed when they see..." He released the t-shirt from his mouth, which fell over Faye's hand, which was on his abs, and said while looking at her, stopping mid-sentence.

"When they see?" Faye repeated his words, curious about what he was about to say.

".....when they see.....a woman touching their abs." He mumbled.

"But you bring woman to your bed whenever you want though?" Faye tilted her head, slightly puzzled by his embarrassment.

'Won't he have tons of women feel his abs by now?' She thought.

"T-this and that is different!!" He yelled.

"W-what is?" Faye asked and instantly blushed since she somewhat guessed why; she knows how humans' feelings change when they are in front of the one they love. She wasn't dumb; she felt it when they kissed a week before; something about Max felt different, and it was different from the times she saw him act the same in front of other women. None of that mattered to her right now; she just wanted the man in front of her to confirm if her thoughts were right or not, though his actions had already confirmed it; it was different from him saying it out loud.

"...." Max simply bit his lower lip and looked at her.

"Hmmm?" Faye tilted her head cutely; now she wanted to tease THE Max, who flirted with other women, though it was rare when they were together, but it was different! She demanded restitution for everything he had done.

".... Don't act like that..... you might get hurt." He covered his face with his right hand and mumbled.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Faye asked feigning ignorance. Max peeked at her through the gap between his fingers and sighed.

WHOOSH

"...." Faye stared at Max's deep, abyss-like black eyes, which were right in front of her face; Max had appeared in front of her face before she could even realise it, but since she was not yet satisfied with her teasing, she continued.

"What are you do.... Mmphf!" Max kissed her as soon as she started to speak with a cheeky smile on her face.

"Mmmn~" She was enjoying the kiss, but was soon out of breath.

"Mmph~ Mmphf!" Tears welled up at the corners of her eyes as she was out of breath.

THUMP (5x)

She hit Max's chest weakly as she felt like he wanted to devour her whole.

"Mpha! Haa, haa....haa..haaa." She breathed heavily after he broke the kiss.

"You...." She felt as if her soul just returned to her body and felt her whole body turn weak with a single kiss.

".... I warned you before that you might get hurt." Max mumbled with a suggestive smile while licking his lower lip.

"I can't believe, haaa, you...." Faye said while catching her breath.

'If he wanted to have his way, I might really be harmed...' She thought and suddenly felt something in her grow as her expectation about that matter strangely grew, and as soon as she understood that, she blushed violently.

'This! This is dangerous!! This man is dangerous!!' She thought.

".... I can prove it again if you want~" Max said and suddenly leaned forward.

"Wha!!"

"I'll prove it until you believe me." He said while slowly leaning towards her with his hands on the back of the couch.

"Wai... Mmphf!!" Faye tried to stop him, but that too was proved to in vain.

"Again."

"Haaa, wai... Mmphf!!" She had only enough time to catch a single breath.

"Again."

"Mpha! Important!! Haaa, haaa....haa...." Faye said as soon as he broke the kiss and started to take a few breaths because she didn't know if he would listen to her or not, though she wouldn't reject the same offer a bit later.

"Important?" He asked as he leaned forward again.

"Yes, yes, important! Mmphf!!" She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him back. He didn't resist her and slowly leaned back, but Faye subconsciously leaned forward towards him and continued to kiss; she didn't even realise that she was the one who was kissing Max now.

Max knelt, but since he was being pushed back continuously by Faye, he fell back on the ground, with Faye kissing him while laying on top of him. Faye felt Max hold her waist and pull her down on him; when she felt it, she snapped out of her trance and broke the kiss.

"Haa, haa...haa..." She leaned back as she supported herself with her elbows on Max's chest. She breathed heavily while looking at Max in the eyes.

"What we're doing seems pretty important as well." He said with a slight smile on his face.

"No! Yes! No, yes it is, but, haa... it is important!" Faye said and she herself was confused by what was more important.

"This....is more important?" She tilted her head as she pondered and understood that this seemed Important than the matter at hand.

"Right?" Max asked with a charming smile.

"Yes." Faye nodded her head in confirmation and continued.

"But the other is more urgent." Faye said.

"Really?" Max asked with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Ye... Mmphf!" She was kissed before she could agree.

'Ah, f**k it! This seems a bit too urgent!!' She thought inwardly and hugged his head and kissed him more passionately.

"Mpha!? Haaa, haaa, haaa....why?" Faye asked Max, perplexed, because Max had effortlessly raised Faye in mid-air by her waist. Faye supported herself with her hands on his massive forearms because she didn't want to bend embarrassingly like a cat and stared at him with a disappointed expression.

"Haaa, I don't want to stop too, but you said important, it's not like we're going anywhere." Max sighed and said with a loving smile.

".... Right." Faye agreed reluctantly and found his words quite reasonable, and she was happy since he, even though indirectly, confirmed their relationship to some extent.

"It's about that basta*d, Alvin Collins." Faye said with a serious look on her face and looking at her face Max's turned serious as well.

"That persistent basta*d recently came directly to our guild building and caused a ruckus, he was flaunting his status and was bragging about their guild while talking sh*t about you, I got angry that he was talking nonsense about you, so I made a slip of tongue and revealed that you were the guild master of the 'Persona.'" Faye confessed with a guilty smile while still raised mid-air in the same position and continued.

"After I revealed it, he laughed saying many annoying things, so annoying that I wanted to kill that basta*d right then and there, but since I was in the guild I couldn't do anything, and things escalated from then on and continued until he said that he would challenge the 'Persona' guild to a guild battle." Faye completed with a guilty expression on her face.

'Is he angry? Will he say we won't meet again? What should I do if that happens? I don't want to leave him though, but I am the reason that he may even lose his guild! That he must have built over blood, sweat and tears, sh*t! I swear I'll kill that basta*d!!' Faye thought and looked at Max's face that was looking at her with wide eyes.

'He is angry....' She closed her eyes, disappointed with herself.

"You." Max called out.

"....." She simply opened her eyes and stared at him.

".... You got angry for me?" Max asked with a bright smile on his face.

"Huh?"
