“We had the emails traced. The couple who had that lawsuit have dropped it by the way. You’ll be hearing from their lawyer. So that’s good.”
Maxine practically ignored the “that’s good” part of his conversation. Nothing seemed good right now. Nothing. Betty? Why would Betty want to hurt her?
“It seemed as if Betty had some sort of grudge against you. She was a close friend of the former owner, Chris.”
“Oh, my God! That’s right. She told me Chris wanted her to run the business before Lucy came on board.”
Lucas nodded. He also explained to her that Betty agreed to resign from the company and a temp would be in place come Monday. Arrangements were already made pending Maxine’s approval. He had connections with an admin agency that supplied temps to Romero Corp. and Foundation. She was at least relieved to hear that part. But she just couldn’t get her head around this chilling betrayal.
“Well…I don’t know what to do now or whom to trust,” Maxine murmured, hugging herself.
“You can always trust me, Maxine,” Lucas said in a soothing voice. He gazed intently into her eyes and shivers of delight ran down her spine.
“I’ll never hurt you,” he whispered and the words resonated within her soul. Maxine didn’t know why but she felt something pull in her heart—a good thing. A connection.
Maxine stood up and leaned on Lucas. She pressed her head into his chest and he hugged her so tightly with such a powerful emotion she felt so meshed with him. She snaked her arms around his firm waist and looked up into his dark, sexy eyes. “Thank you,” she whispered.
“You don’t have to thank me, Maxine,” he dismissed her overwhelming gratitude. His silky voice caused a reaction inside her. A very delicious one.
“But I want to. You’ve done so much for me. How could I ever…?” Her breath caught in her throat. Raw emotion washed over her. “I want you.”
Her breathing grew heavy. The truth was she’d never desired someone as much as she craved for Lucas’s touch, his embrace, his presence. Her mind was going crazy and her head was spinning out of control.
Kiss me.
As if he could read her mind, Lucas lowered his head to hers and pressed his hungry lips to hers. His kiss was slow, deep, wanting. He sipped her lips and sucked them causing ripples of emotions to tingle inside her. Her nipples tightened when his lips kissed the silky skin on her neck. His soft lips caressed her neck and she let out a soft moan of pleasure. She could feel his arousal getting harder and harder behind his zipper while his body was pressed to hers.
Oh, Lucas.
“God, you have no idea what you do to me, Maxine,” he groaned as he continued to press his soft lips into her neck. His breathing was slow and deep. Maxine arched her back in his embrace. They’d made their way over to the kitchen counter as they ravenously devoured each other with amazing kisses.

Lucas moaned with pleasure as he sucked on the soft skin of Maxine’s neck. The erotic sounds of her groans as he pleasured her with his lips were driving his testosterone levels off the charts. His erection was straining inside his pants. He wanted her desperately. He would do anything for her. Protect her. Take care of her and bring her carnal pleasure like she’d never known before.
No woman had ever captured his heart, his soul and his mind the way Maxine did. There was just something about her. Something that resonated within his soul.
“Oh, God, you’re so sexy,” Lucas groaned as he rubbed his hands down the soft curves of her silhouette. He continued to kiss her gently on her neck then he moved his lips down her arms as he caressed her body. Slowly taking his time, savoring her body while she moaned and writhed with ecstasy in his arms.
“I want you so badly, Maxine,” he moaned.
“Oh, Lucas, I want you too. Please, take me.”
Excitement shot through Lucas’s blood. He wanted to pleasure her so badly and bring her erotic delight more than anything else.
He gently led her into the bedroom a few steps away; both were breathing heavy and in no time he guided her to the bedside and continued to delight in rocking her world.
He wanted to take his time with her gently. She deserved to be treated like a princess, no, like a queen!
