He roughly rolls me onto my back, making me laugh. “You giggle,” he accuses. “I love it.”
“That was not a giggle,” I protest, smiling up at him despite the stutter of fear of his use of the word. Love.
I think I’m falling in love with you.
His hair is a mess, sticking straight up in part, but his eyes, as sleepy as they are, look down at me with— “It was a very sophisticated laugh,” I manage.
How can Max look at me like that? Like he… like he wants more than just to have sex with me.
“Sophisticated, my ass.”
“I like your ass.” To show how much, I grab him with both hands as Max climbs over me on the way to the bathroom, hard cock brushing my stomach.
“Come and watch me jerk off in the shower, because that’s all the action you’re getting until that plane touches down,” he invites, sauntering naked to the bathroom. “And that’s your fault for wanting to leave early.”
“I’ll pay for the pilot to go sit on the beach for a couple of hours,” I call.
“It’ll take longer than that for me to get my fill of you.” I hear the water start in the shower before Max pokes his head out. “My father texted and said he booked the condo for this afternoon, so we’ve got to get back anyway.”
“Text,” I moan. “I can’t believe I lasted this long without my phone. I haven’t even checked email since we left.”
“You can use mine.” Max points to it on the bedside table and rattles off his passcode.
“It’s so strange not knowing everything that’s going on,” I tell him as I pick up his phone slower than I would have expected. This is the link back to the real world. I should want to check in with Tana, to find out any updates on the Tingel deal, if there is any further threat from Preston.
Two whole days away. That’s a first.
I don’t hate it as much as I thought I would.
“Do you have a need to know everything that’s going on?” Max reaches an arm up to grasp the doorframe, leaving him stretched out and open for me to…
I stare. I can’t help it. Max is built, with ripples of muscles drawing my eyes as I drink him in. Long and lean with a sprinkling of hair along his chest, dipping down—
“See something you like?” Max drawls. I tear my gaze away to see his smirk.
“No.” I throw a pillow at him. “Go away.”
“Feel free to join me,” he offers with another grin before disappearing under the water.
He doesn’t shut the bathroom door.
He told me his password.
I’ve never been one for dating, but I think both are pretty important.
So is the hiccup of my heart when I think about flying home with him. Not just excitement about what will happen when we get there, but what’s going to happen when we get there.
What will happen to the Max and Cady who spoon together at night and who joke and tease in the morning?
The tightness in my stomach overrules the stutter.
Maximus Steele and Cady Quinn. Who started this weekend with an agenda that did not involve falling for each other.
At least I had an agenda. I’ve kind of forgotten what that was now.
I punch in Max’s code. Maybe he only wanted to get into my pants, and if that’s the case, he certainly succeeded, charming the literal panties off me and—
A flurry of notifications fills his screen.
