After washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, I found myself with not much else to do. It was too early to go to sleep, so I crept over to the living room where Maverick was watching TV in the dark. His leather jacket was lying on the back of the sofa where he was reclining comfortably, his boots were off and his toes were curled into red Spiderman socks. It was quite a sight, and not what I expected to see.

“Uh … Maverick?” I said with a cocked brow, still looking at his red and blue feet.

“Yeah?” he replied mindlessly as he surfed the channels. When I didn’t respond, he turned his head to look at me and caught me staring at his sock-clad feet. “Don’t judge. I like Spiderman.”

I chuckled. “Okay. Well, I wanted to ask for a favor.”

“What’s up?” He leaned back and rested his hands behind his head.

“I need to pick up my last check from NightCrawlers. Will you take me?”

Maverick started shaking his head before I even finished speaking. “Nope. No. No way, kiddo. I’m not getting on Tristan’s bad side just because you want to go on a little field trip.”

I perched on the sofa and leaned in conspiratorially, trying not to touch his feet. “Come on, Maverick. I’d have the best bodyguard with me. What could possibly go wrong?”

“While I appreciate the flattery, a lot could go wrong. You don’t know what NightCrawlers is—”

“I know it’s a vampire den. Tristan told me. Which is why I want to get my check as soon as possible and put that place in my past.” I jutted out my bottom lip and pouted. “Pretty please?”

Maverick frowned. “Aw, no fair! You can’t give me that wounded puppy look.” He winced and looked away. “Fine! We’ll go quickly. But we’re in and out, okay? No dillydallying.”
