MaximilianThe words I said to Naomi were more to me than to her, because I was right. I do have to forget that the kiss ever happened. I’ve gotten myself into serious trouble because of it. My desire for her has spiraled out of control to the point where I used someone dear to me to erase the thought of her from my mind, or rather, not the thought, but this curiosity of mine to know what she tastes like. What happened between Kelly and me should never have occurred. It was a mistake I think I’ll pay for for the rest of my life. I leave without having breakfast. This is for the best. Whenever she’s around, I can’t seem to think straight, so this is me cutting the problem from the root, since I don’t know how to fucking behave. I rarely drive to work with my head as full as it is. Usually, it’s easy for me to focus on what I’m going to do all day, but she hasn’t left my mind for a second. I couldn’t even tell if she was relieved by what I said, or disappointed. She’s never given me

Ada"A direct order, is it?" I ask, tearing my arm from his grip. "And I suppose that makes you so much better than her?"He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, almost like he's calming himself down. When he looks back at me, his eyes are shooting daggers at me. "Do you take pleasure in being such a complicated person?""I'm not being complicated, I'm just pointing out a fact," I claim. "An order is an order. I'll get someone else to do it. As you wish, sir."I start to walk away from him, but he shocks me by grabbing my arm and forcing me to face him. A gasp leaves my lips in the process. He's doing this in broad daylight. Where anyone could see us and assume whatever they want. I tell him, "I have to remind you that anyone could be watching us, Mr. Loxley. Now's the right time for you to release me.""Do you think I care about anyone watching?" he asks in a low voice, his face only inches away from mine. "I pay them to mind their business. Whoever has a problem with what I do

AdaThe silence seems to want to engulf me.It’s almost too quiet. I have to look around to make sure that I’m in my own apartment. It feels like a foreign place. Or maybe it’s my mind that’s become so strange to me that I can’t make sense of the places I’m in every day. I close my eyes, squeeze them shut, and then open them again slowly, ignoring the throbbing behind them. Yes. This whole mess is giving me a headache and there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just so damn tired of always having to think. At this point, I wish I could just shut my thoughts and not have to think about Max Loxley or anyone else in their family. I’m tired. I lie on my couch. I haven’t had dinner yet and find it unlikely that I will. I’m just not hungry and anyway, I don’t have the energy to cook anything right now. I’m being haunted by the memories of this afternoon. How his grip felt. How his eyes pinned me to the spot. How my heart raced every time his face moved closer to mine. How triumphant I f

Maximilian I've been thinking about that kiss the whole fucking day. I know Naomi saw it. I know it from the bottom of my heart. When I looked her way, she was vacuuming the carpet, but I could tell from the way she was standing that she had looked at us. I don't know why Kelly did that, especially in front of Naomi. It's becoming clear to me that she's doing what she can to provoke Naomi, or maybe to prove something to her. I won't get into the details because honestly, they don't matter. What matters to me is what Naomi thinks, and I don't want her to think that Kelly and I are together when we're not. It's never going to happen. And in wanting to explain this to her, I realized that I really care about her opinion. A whole of a fucking lot. And I can't let her believe that I have something with Kelly when that's far from the truth. The way she was looking at me now suggests that she was bothered by what happened. However, like me, she's fighting this inevitabilit

AdaI think about twenty minutes pass before we return to our senses and stop kissing. I'm completely breathless, and the taste of him in my mouth is so addictive."I want to take you out somewhere," Max says to me. "Where?" I ask, still dizzy from his kisses. "Anywhere," he claims before his lips stretch into a core-melting smile. "I'd take you anywhere. Will you come with me?"I don't hesitate. "Yes."I grab my bag and we head out. Everything just happens so quickly. We're in the elevator, standing side by side, heading someplace unknown. Me and him. My employer. But he's more than that, isn't he? He's also my enemy's son. He's the last man in the world I should've caught feelings for. I glance up at him just as he looks down at me. I see a hunger in his eyes that makes my heart race. I wonder what he sees in mine. The desire? The fear? The sadness that just won't leave me alone no matter what I do?Max raises his hand and tucks a lock of hair behind my ears. His touch—as light
