“Just get on with it,” Max said.
I steadied my hand. The cut was deeper at this point, and the stitches were going to hurt a lot more. As I completed the second stitch, Max let out a loud wail.
“Almost done,” I said.
I dove into the third stitch. This was the deepest part of the cut. My thread got stuck, and I had to pull on it until it finally yanked free. Max screamed. After I quickly got the last stitch through, Max reached up and grabbed my wrist.
I was astonished by the strength of his grip, and a sudden shock of fear went through me. I looked down at him, my eyes wide with terror, but his expression calmed me. There was that look again, tender, gentle. He zeroed in my on face, and my heart started to thump. I felt a pull towards him, and he seemed to feel the same thing. I took in a ragged breath, almost expecting him to kiss me.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to grab you” Max said, quickly looking away. “That was involuntary.”
I trembled slightly from the adrenaline rushing through me. “The hard part’s over. I just need to tie up the ends.”

Sweet Submission: Jenny and Max Complete Series
Excerpt from ‘Lucy’s Strict Boss,’ Part One of Lucy and Evan’s Series
“I want you, Lucy, and I want to be upfront about who I am,” Evan said. “I know so much about you already. You need to know me too.”
“Mr. Jeffrey-”
“Evan.”
“Evan,” I said. “This is so unexpected.”
Evan cupped his hand against my cheek. His touch was warm, and I wanted to snuggle closer into it. He spoke softly, almost in a whisper. “Unexpected? So is love. And so is faith.”
His words washed over me and my resolve withered. I felt a connection to him, not just physical attraction. I’d never loved anyone romantically before, and assumed, this was what it felt like. It was white hot and all consuming. I had tunnel vision, and all I could see was him. I had to remind myself to breathe.
“Now,” Evan said. He picked up an oyster. “Try one of these.”
That snapped me back to reality. “No, no thank you.” I went back to sipping champagne.
“Lucy.” Evan’s voice, though not very loud, was so commanding, I immediately gave him my attention. “Try one.”
He held the shell to my mouth. I parted my lips, and let him slide the oyster onto my tongue. At first, I recoiled, but as the buttery flesh dissolved and the fresh, salty brine filled my mouth, I closed my eyes.
“Mmm,” I said.
“Do you see?” Evan said. “All you need is a little faith.”
