Chapter 97 - Jinan's Amusement

Maya sprinted like a bat out of hell and stuck herself to the wall in her kitchen, her expression was that of extreme fear.

"What have I done!", she was pulling her already shirt hair and clutching her head in her palms with an aggrieved look on her dainty looking face.

Xav and Maya were living in hiding because of the people that are hunting Xav. They were the same people who had tried to kill Xav at B City last time. Maya had somehow subdued their men and fought with them, before fleeing from the scene.

Thinking about the consequences Maya's breathing was in disarray with her chest heaving up and down, she was clutching her chest and occasionally patting herself to calm down. Her anxiety had shot up the roof making her lose herself.

"If he's the man that was present at Royal Ramada's banquet that day, then he might be one of them. What if he is aware of my identity? And what about Xav? Xav will be in danger... His reflexes were too fast just now and he seems athletic as well.. I'll have to make him get away from here first, I'll have to shoo him", Maya was in a frenzy thinking about all sorts of things and panicking like crazy.

Finally with a calm mind Maya thought of something and went inside her bedroom where Jinan is currently staying. Slowly tip toeing her way inside Maya entered her own bedroom in her own house like a thief before slowly opening the wardrobe and searching for Xav's spare clothes that she stores.

Maya found a black half sleeved tight fitting gym tshirt and tracks, she was searching the pockets for some cash or receipts when the bathroom door creaked.

Maya stood rooted to the ground when she heard the door opening, she gulped heavily before closing her eyes and muttering random prayers.

Jinan came out of the bathroom with a baby pink colored with cute little hearts at the corner of the towel. The towel was hanging dangerously loose on his lower body, with his mouthwatering pecs and abs glistening with the droplets of water dripping from his wet hair that were clinging to his forehead, oozing sexiness and his long toned legs peeking out of the short towel.

"Why's she here now..", Jinan thought, the tips of his ears were slightly red from embarrassment. He's never been alone with a woman before, and now that he's in this state his nervousness knows no bounds.

Maya abruptly turned her body to see such a drool worthy sight and caught her breath, the clothes dropped from her hands and landed on the cream colored rug.

"So hot! Even in such a girly looking towel he's looking super hot..", Maya muttered under her breath.

Jinan stood stupefied by her reaction, his thin lips involuntarily curled into a dangerous smile hitting straight at Maya's heart. He forgot all about his embarrassment, his attitude took a 180 akin to a sleeping lion that has awoken to hunt down his prey.

She gulped heavily before ogling at every part of Jinan's body, her throat went dry instantly. Maya was blinded with his glowing body and closed her eyes shut.

Jinan smirked at her reaction, he walked towards her in dangerously slow strides making Maya's heart race. She could hear his low footsteps and her chest was heaving in anticipation, with her eyes closed Maya's senses were heightened.

"Wh.. What is he gonna do!", Maya couldn't even breathe feeling stifled by his close proximity.

Jinan closed the space between them standing close to her, so close that Maya could smell her vanilla scented body wash on his body. Maya subconsciously stepped backwards and her back hit the wardrobe unintentionally trapping her.

When her back crashed into the closed wardrobe she instinctively opened her eyes to Jinan's countenance so close to her that there noses would touch any second now. She stood staring at the man, the faint smile on his lips was mocking Maya and she felt helpless.

"Ah! I hate Xav for this..", Maya was praying in her heart to come out of this dire situation unscathed.

Jinan moved forward and Maya closed her eyes again in fear, Jinan found it funny and amusing how this dangerously skilled frail girl standing before him, was scared of him when she can kill him any second if she wanted to.

"Is she the same woman I saw that day? So confident with a murderous glint in her eyes.. Why is she so different now? I'm all the more interested in her now.. I want to see all her different sides", Jinan was lost in his thoughts thinking back in time, shaking his head at his words.

Maya was anticipating him to make a move on her, or rather kill her. She was letting her guard down and it was quiet shocking for her as well. Nevertheless Maya was acting out of character and was extremely timid before Jinan.

Jinan took a step back and simply bent his back to retrieve the clothes lying on the floor, his eyes smiling just as bright as the smile on his face. Jinan went inside the bathroom slamming the door behind him.

Maya snapped out of her daze and opened her eyes startled by the sound,

"He went away? Just like that..", her gaze landed on the floor and she understood how dumb she was.

"He just wanted the clothes!", Maya was dumbfounded by the turn of events and smacked herself rather harshly for acting foolishly and embarrassing herself in front of Jinan.
