“God knows, but I do,” he replied, walking around the coffee table towards me. He slowly raised his hands and cupped my face again, brushing his thumbs over my cheeks.
I tilted my head back to hold his gaze. “Now what?”
“Are you interested in Fred?”
I shook my head.
“Okay, good. I have no business saying that, but still, good.” He lowered his face to mine and took a deep breath. “Ellie… I have no right to ask you this, but I’m going to anyway.”
Oh.
My lips twitched into a smile.
“Can I kiss you?”
“Please do,” I whispered.
Max kissed me, gently pressing his mouth against mine. It was soft and perfect, and I uncrossed my arms, tentatively reaching for him. His body was firm as I ghosted my fingers across his waist until they settled at his hips, and I took a step, bringing us closer together.
Every part of my body came alive.
I didn’t know what it was about him. I didn’t know why I reacted this way to something as simple as a gentle touch of our lips, but it was undeniable.
Max made me feel a certain kind of way, one I’d never felt before, one I didn’t know it was possible to feel.
This man was going to break my heart.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
I melted into him despite knowing that. The kiss became deeper with his tongue seeking out mine, and our bodies got closer and closer until my hands were sliding up his chest and his were moving down my back, until there was no longer a breath of air between us.
His kiss was utterly addictive, and every part of me knew it, too. My heart was thudding a rapid beat as my head whispered to me to stop, that this was a mistake, that this was crossing a line that could never be uncrossed.
That this was wiping out the line entirely.
But I didn’t care.
For the first time in my life, I didn’t listen to my head.
I let my foolish heart dictate my actions. I let my hormones decide that it was a good idea to run my fingers through his hair and graze my teeth across his lower lip, to press my body as firmly against his as I could.
He felt it, too. His cock was hard and pressing against my lower stomach, brushing my hip, and Max slid his hand down and squeezed my arse, pulling me even closer.
Heat flushed through my body. It was a rich lust like nothing I’d ever felt, and heat pooled between my legs, centring on my clit, and the mildly uncomfortable, needy ache that throbbed deep in my belly had me fisting his shirt in desperation.
He was doing crazy things to me, and my God, I wanted him to do more. To kiss more than just my mouth. To grip my arse as tightly as he was while there was nothing between us—no space, no fabric, no nothing.
I wanted to rip his bloody clothes off and let him bend me over a window seat to fuck me senseless.
That fantasy was getting out of control.
“Oh, my!”
The sound of my brother’s voice jolted me out of the moment, and Max and I split apart as if a firework was physically lit between us.
Kev raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a glimmer in his eye. “Should I come back later?”
I flushed red hot from head to toe. It was the worst mixture of horniness and embarrassment I’d ever felt in my entire life, and I almost felt as though I was going to throw up.
