  “Yes.” She laughed. “You are the subject of many poems.”

  “No way.” He laughed and sat back. “Tell me one.”

  “A dark one or a happy one.” She sat back and snuggled into his arms.

  “Your favorite one.” He put his arm around her and drew her in closer to him. “Tell me your favorite one.”

  “Okay.” She bit her lip. “It’s a bit dark but it always makes me think of you.”

  “I’m waiting,” he teased her and kissed her head.

  “Ok, here goes.” She licked her lips and tried to remember all of the words before she recited:

  He walks like a jaguar

  Proud, beautiful, sleek,

  And all I can think is how I want him to jump, attack, prowl

  Hold me captive underneath him,

  Eyes glaring, heart beating, saliva dripping.

  I want to be his prey,

  Worthy of his appetite,

  Delicious to his smell,

  Tasty to his touch,

  I want him to devour me with his teeth.

  And if for just one moment our eyes connect,

  I want him to pause, to think, to wonder

  Who I am, where I am, how I am,

  And for just one second he will wait and debate

  Before he sinks his teeth in and takes me to be his forever

  Her voice trailed off as she finished reciting the poem that held her deepest and darkest thoughts about the man sitting next to her. The car was silent for the next minute and Sophie started to feel embarrassed.

  “Sorry,” she mumbled.

  “That was wonderful, Sophie.” He turned to her with admiration. “You’re a brilliant writer. I loved the imagery.” He gazed into her eyes. “I want to want to eat you right now to figure out if you are as sweet as you seem.”

  Sophie flushed at his innuendo but replied with a smirk. “You know how sweet I am already.”

  He grinned at her and licked his lips. “Oh yes, I do. And I’m hungry for some of that sweetness right now.”

  “You’ll have to wait.” She smiled sweetly at him.

  “You think so?” He arched an eyebrow at her.

  “Yes,” she squeaked out, hoping he would hop on the floor and spread her legs and go to town.

  “Maybe you’re right.” He grinned at her and moved his hand to her breast. “I’ll just have to get a different kind of sweetness instead.” He lifted her t-shirt up and popped her breasts out of her bra before bending his head. He sucked on one nipple while he rolled her other nipple between his fingers. She groaned and threw her head back. Her breasts were especially sensitive and she could feel herself growing wet.

  “I love it when you moan,” he whispered up to her. “It makes me grow hard just hearing your voice.”

  “Really?” Sophie whispered back to him. Max took her hand and placed it on his cock; she could feel how hard it was through his pants. She rubbed her hand back and forth and grinned as she felt it wiggle.

  “Don’t do that unless you want me to fuck you in the back seat.” He growled at her and she continued rubbing. “I see what you want.” He reached over and pulled her onto his lap and she laughed with delight. “Sit up a second.” He ordered her and she sat forward. He reached around, unzipped her pants, and pulled them, along with her thong down to her ankles. He then unbuckled and unzipped himself and sat her back down. She felt his hard cock between her legs and she moved back and forth on him slowly, enjoying the feel of his hardness next to her pussy. “This feels like heaven,” he whispered into her ear as he reached up and grabbed her breasts, squeezing her nipples between his fingers.

  “Yes, it does,” she whispered back and started moving back and forth a little bit faster.

  “I want to make love to you now,” he growled and moved her forward quickly before pushing his cock into her. She sat up slowly and guided her hips back and forth so that she was riding him slowly, and deeply. “Oh that feels so good, Sophie.”

  She felt him start to move his hips back and forth so that his cock was slamming into her faster and his fingers were pinching her nipples with intensity. “Touch yourself,” he ordered her.

  “What?” she squealed unsure of what he was asking her to do. He grabbed her hand and placed it next to her pussy. He grabbed two of her fingers and rubbed it over her clit. She felt her body tremble as he guided her fingers back and forth on her clit. The pressure of his cock inside her and the intense feeling of both of their fingers rubbing against her was too much and Sophie felt herself come hard on his cock.

  “Don’t stop,” Maxwell groaned into her ear and grabbed her hips, bouncing her up and down on his cock hard. She felt his body tremble and his cock still as he burst into her. “Oh my.” he groaned as she slid off him. “That was fantastic.”

  “It was alright.” She grinned at him.

  “Just alright, huh?” He laughed. “Just wait until tonight, my dear. You’ll regret those words.”

  “We’ll see.” She laughed alongside him, deliriously happy. “We’ll see.”

  “What do you want to eat?” he asked her softly. “I think Miles is fed up with driving randomly around the city by now.”

  “Oh shoot.” Sophie grabbed her bag and pulled out her phone. “I was supposed to meet Ella for dinner.” She quickly looked through her messages and sighed. Ella had called her and texted 4 times; the last text informed her that Ella had spoken to Joseph and was going to meet him for dinner instead and that they could catch up tomorrow instead.

  “Everything okay?” Maxwell looked at her in concern.

  “Yeah.” She sighed; she didn’t want to tell Max about Ella and Joseph. She wasn’t sure what would happen.

  “Are you sure?” He paused. “It was Ella you were going to meet for dinner right?”

  “Yes, Max.” Sophie turned to him and kissed him on the lips. “Let’s just order in a pizza.”

  “Okay.” He grinned at her. “Maybe we can go to my place?”

  “Yes.” She grinned. “That would be great.” She had never seen Maxwell’s apartment and she had always been curious as to what it looked like. She also didn’t want Ella to walk in and see Max in her bed. She needed to talk to her friend first.

  “Great.” He sat back and smiled at her and for once, his face looked relaxed and happy. “We can watch a movie as well.”

  “Uh huh.” Sophie rolled her eyes. “I’m sure we’ll get to watch a movie.”

  “We can make one instead, if you prefer?” Max pulled her towards him. “I wouldn’t mind doing that instead.”

  “I’m sure you wouldn’t.” She laughed and hit him on the shoulder. She dropped her phone back into her bag and promised herself that she would have a serious talk with Ella the next day about Joseph and her and Max.

  “We could call it Sophie does Max.”

  “Or Max does Sophie.”

  “I’m down with that.” He licked his lips and she snuggled back into his arms, happy and excited that for once, things seemed to be going her way.

  Chapter 14

  Maxwell’s apartment was huge. Though, that didn’t surprise her. He had the penthouse in a gorgeous building overlooking Central Park. She sighed as she looked at the view. It was so peaceful and serene.

  “Do you like it?” He walked over to join her by one of the windows.

  “I love it.” She smiled up at him shyly. “We’re in the heart of the city but I feel like I’m in the country.”

  “I’m glad you like it. I was thinking you could move in here with me.” His voice sounded unsure all of a sudden. “Or we could wait until we are married.”

  “You don’t have to marry me because I’m pregnant, Max.” She laughed a little self-consciously.

  “I want to marry you, Sophie. I love you.” He gazed at her in adoration. “I want us to have a real family. If you do.”

  “I’d love that.” She beamed at him. “And I’d love to live here with you.”

  “You don’t know how
happy that makes me.” He grinned at her. “Now let’s go eat some pizza before it gets cold.”

  “Okay.” She followed him to the kitchen and grabbed a plate. Max handed her some serviettes and they grinned at each other like dopey fools. Sophie paused as she heard a key in the door and she looked at Max in fright. He frowned at her and walked to the door.

  “Stay here,” he ordered her but she followed behind him.

  “What the fuck?” Maxwell’s voice sounded angry and Sophie felt the blood leave her face as she saw Alexis at the door.

  “Max, darling. I didn’t know you were working,” Alexis’s voice tinkled through the apartment. “I just came to get some things.”

  “You had to come now?” Max looked at her with narrowed eyes.

  “Yes, I didn’t know it would be a problem.” She raised an eye at him. “Is it?”

  “No.” He swallowed. “Just get what you need.”

  “Thanks, darling.” She came up to him and kissed him on the lips before turning to Sophie. “I swear you must be the hardest working girl in New York. Come and help me gather some of my stuff.”

  Sophie stared at her in confusion and shook off Maxwell’s arm as he tried to hold her back. She followed Alexis into what appeared to be Maxwell’s room. She didn’t understand what was going on here. Alexis went to a chest of drawers and opened it before turning back to Sophie. “I left some of my things here. I only moved out a few months ago, you see. Max didn’t want me to take everything, as he didn’t want to think it was really over.” She pulled out some sexy bras and panties, and handed Sophie a bag. “I’ll hand you the stuff. Be a dear and pack it away for me, will you?”

  Sophie stood there feeling like she was in some sort of horror movie and then Maxwell barged into the room. “Alexis, you need to leave now. This is ridiculous.” His voice was angry.

  “But Max honey, I needed to get some of my stuff. She then pulled out a butterfly vibrator and held it up. “Remember the night we got this?” She laughed. “I came so much, I wasn’t sure if it was because of your big cock or this little machine.” She turned to Sophie, “So of course Max didn’t want to think this little contraption could make me come more than him, so he proceeded to spend the night going down on me. I think I must have come five times that night from his tongue alone.” She laughed and Sophie just stared at her in shock, telling herself to hold in the tears.

  “That’s it, Alexis. You need to get out. I want my key back.” Max walked up to her and grabbed her by the shoulder. “You need to leave now.”

  “Oh Max, I remember the last time you roughed me up like this. Wasn’t it at the shareholders meeting? You pulled me into the bathroom and we fucked like rabbits.” Alexis looked up at him with lust. “I don’t think your secretary would mind taking a break if you wanted to have a quick fuck now. I quite missed your cock after dinner last night.”

  “Alexis, I am not going to tell you this again but we are over. I do not want to see you again. I do not want you coming to my office or my apartment again. Do you hear me?” Max’s voice was furious and he pulled her out of the room. “Give me back my key now.”

  “Are you sure this is how you want to deal with things, Max?” Alexis’s voice was deadly. “I’m not sure if Mitch will like hearing how you have treated me.”

  “Fuck Mitch and fuck you Alexis. I’m done.” Max pushed her towards the door. “I never want to see either of you again in my life.”

  “Does she know about what you did?” Alexis pointed at Sophie and snarled. “Does that stupid little tramp know?”

  Max looked at Sophie’s ashen face and sighed. “Leave her out of this, Alexis.”

  Alexis laughed a deep and evil laugh. “I hope she’s worth it, Max. When you lose everything.”

  “Leave,” he growled and walked towards her.

  “Or what? You’ll beat me to a pulp? Or rape me? Or murder me?” Alexis stared at him. “All your secrets are about to come out, Maxwell.”

  “Leave,” he snarled at her.

  Alexis opened the door and turned to look at Sophie, “You better watch yourself, Sophie. You do not know Maxwell Van Harkel. Trust me. He can and will do very bad things.” And with that, she dropped her keys on the floor and walked out, letting the door slam behind her. Silence reverberated in the apartment and Sophie and Max just stared at each other.

  Maxwell walked towards her and sighed. “I’m sorry.”

  Sophie looked at him wordlessly. All she could think about was him going down on Alexis. “You had sex with her?”

  He looked at her with pain in his eyes. “It meant nothing to me. Not like it does with you.”

  “She lived with you?” Her voice betrayed the pain and hurt she was feeling.

  “For a few months.” He sighed. “I wasn’t here most of the time.”

  “Long enough to buy sex toys together,” her voice broke.

  “I have a past, Sophie.” He grabbed her hands. “I’m sorry that this happened. I’m so sorry. I love you. Please don’t let this stop you from loving me.”

  “I still love you, Max.” She sighed and a tear rolled down her face. “I’m just tired and sad. And I don’t want to be here. In this place.” She looked around. “It’s beautiful but all I can see is the two of you, here, together.”

  He brought her close to him and held her, kissing the top of her head. “I understand.” He took her hand, “I want to show you something.” He walked towards his bedroom and she followed reluctantly. He walked over to the bed and pointed to a photo on his night table. “Look.” She looked and saw a photo of her and Ella.

  “Ok,” she mumbled. “So what? You have a photo of your sister next to your bed.”

  “It’s a photo of you, Sophie,” he whispered in her ear. “Look carefully.”

  And so she studied the photo again. It was focused on her, and Ella was a mere blur in the background. By all accounts, it was a photo of her. She looked happy and was smiling into the camera and blowing a kiss. All of a sudden, Sophie remembered the day the photo was taken about two years ago. Maxwell had spent most of the summer working but one weekend he had taken the girls on the boat and Sophie had had the time of her life.

  “But you ignored me that summer.” She looked at him curiously. “Just like every summer since I was seventeen.”

  “I made myself ignore you, Sophie.” He smiled at her. “I’ve had this photo here since that summer. Even when Alexis was here.”

  “That seems a bit mean.” Sophie smiled half-heartedly.

  “Alexis knew I never loved her.” Max’s voice was firm.

  “But you were engaged to her.”

  “Not by choice.” Max sighed. “I don’t want to talk about it now, Sophie, but please believe me when I tell you that you are the only one for me.”

  “I’ll try.” She looked away from him. “Can we leave this room please? I don’t want to think about the two of you, in here, you know.”

  Max sighed and they walked out of the room. “I’ve had sex with other women, Sophie but they mean nothing to me.”

  “Yeah.” Sophie sighed and looked away again. “Let’s eat.”

  She walked back to the kitchen and went back to the slice of pizza she was so eager to eat before. But she could barely eat. She carried the plate to the living room and sat on the couch. Maxwell came and sat next to her. “Forgive me?” He looked at her searchingly.

  “Yes.” She sighed as she looked into his worried face. “I’ll try.”

  “I love you, Sophie.”

  She chewed on her pizza and looked down. She loved Maxwell with all of her heart but she couldn’t stop the jealousy that was gnawing at her. “Is Mitch the guy I was dancing with at the bar?”

  “What?” He looked at her warily.

  “Alexis just mentioned a Mitch. That’s her brother, right? Is he the guy from the bar? The one you fought with?”

  Maxwell sighed and took her hand. “Yes. Mitch is her brother and the man who nearly raped you.” He squeeze
d her hand so tightly that she thought her blood circulation had stopped.

  “Ok, Max.” She yanked her hand back from him.

  “Sorry.” He looked down at her hand. “Mitch is not a nice guy.”

  “Yeah. Especially if he is anything like his sister.” Sophie made a face and Maxwell laughed.

  “Oh, Sophie.” He gathered her in his arms and kissed all over her face. “I will never stop loving you.”

  “Yeah. Ok.” She closed her eyes, trying to stop thinking of him going down on Alexis. “So was she sweet too?”

  “What?” Max looked at her in confusion. “Was who sweet?”

  “Alexis.” Sophie stared into his eyes unflinching as he stiffened. “She said you wanted to make sure she knew you were the one who pleasured her. I figured if you went down on her for that amount of time, she must have been really sweet.”
