“We can’t go like this?” I said breathlessly. I wanted to eat, but I wasn’t going to go out with dry cum all over half of my body.
“Room service, then?” he asked with a grin. “You can order whatever you want to eat, but I only ask that you let me be dessert.” He kissed me deeply then, and all I could do was kiss him back. My body and brain were totally frazzled. I wasn’t sure what had just happened, but it had been marvelous.
Chapter25
My entire body felt warm, happy, and satiated. In fact, I felt like I was lying in fluffy clouds, and I’d reached a state of nirvana that I’d never known existed before. This was what bliss felt like. I had just awoken, but I didn’t want to actually wake up yet.
I was still in the comfortable bed, my eyes were closed, and I was just enjoying being in the same space as Max. He had been a considerate and amazing lover, and all I wanted to do was call my sisters and tell them everything. Chelsea was going to freak out when she found out that Max and I had slept together. She’d be so jealous, and I would thank her for making me kiss the awful man in the bar. He’d been the frog I’d had to kiss before I got the prince. Not that I was confident that Max was a prince. Maybe a rogue prince. But I wasn’t going to dwell upon that too much. Not when being with him made me feel like this.
Max’s warm body was next to mine, his skin warm to the touch and his scent enveloping my nostrils. I wanted to roll over and place my head on his chest and just smell him. However, I knew that was too intimate of an act after one night of lovemaking. I didn’t want him to think I was a stage-five clinger. I didn’t want him to think I was going to start asking him when the ring was coming. He already thought I was crazy. If I blurted out, “I think I love you,” I was pretty sure he’d go running down the streets of San Francisco in his birthday suit. Not that anyone in the city would mind. They’d most probably thank him for the free show.
The unfamiliar sounds of a ringtone sounded, and I felt Max rolling over and grabbing his phone. I was about to open my eyes and make a smart comment about his phone waking me up but decided not to.
“Wassup, Travis?” he said cheerfully in a low voice, and I smiled. I was appreciative that he was trying to be quiet so he didn’t wake me up. I was also glad to hear he was in a good mood. Maybe we’d even make love before breakfast. Though I hoped it was quick as I was feeling quite hungry. And not just for his cock. I almost giggled at the thought and pinched my leg so that I could keep quiet.
“Fuck, no way,” Max hissed, and I tensed as he shifted off of the bed. I opened my eyes narrowly and watched as he walked over to the side of the room. “She what? Are you joking?”
My stomach lurched at his conversation. Who was he talking about?
“I knew she was a bit over the top, but I didn’t think she was that bad.” He sighed, and I saw him shaking his head. “I know it’s not acceptable. I know.” He sighed. “Travis, this was your favor, not mine. I told you I didn’t think she was a good fit for the office.” He paused, and I could feel myself growing hot. He was talking about me. Travis had hired me as a favor to Finn. And now they regretted it. Well, this was going to be embarrassing when I finally “woke up.” I almost wished I was really asleep.
“Travis,” Max hissed. “How can you expect me to…” He sighed. “It’s a complicated situation now. I don’t want to be the one to fire—” He growled. “That’s none of your business.” He was silent for a few moments and then chuckled. What was he laughing at? What was Travis saying about me that was so funny? “No, I’m not going to miss her in the office. I couldn’t give a fuck.” He pressed his lips together. “Fine, I will take care of it.” He hung up the phone, and I quickly closed my eyes so he wouldn’t know that I’d been listening to his conversation. He walked back to the bed, and then I felt his weight on the mattress.
“You up, Polly?” he whispered, and I could feel his warm breath on my cheek as he leaned down toward my face. I lay there with my eyes tightly closed and tried to breathe calmly. I felt like I wanted to cry, but I had to keep my cool. I wanted to go off on him, but I was too hurt to say anything. I was heartbroken at the fact that he’d said he couldn’t give a fuck if I worked in the office with him. I thought I’d meant more to him than that. I’d thought he and I were actually building a bond. I was obviously a big idiot. Here I was thinking I’d met Mr. Right and here he was thinking he’d met Ms. Easy for one night. How could I have gotten it so wrong?
Max crawled back into the bed and placed his hand on my stomach. I felt his leg covering mine, and it took everything in me to not push him off. I wanted to punch him or tell him off, but I didn’t really know what I could say. You couldn’t make someone like you as more than good sex. And just because we’d slept together didn’t mean that he liked me as more than someone that worked in his office. In fact, it seemed that he didn’t like me at all. I’d just been some easy sex. I burned inside. I shifted on the bed and accidentally hit Max in the face.
“Oh.” My eyes flew open and stared into his amused ones. I exaggerated a large yawn. “Sorry about that.”
“No need to apologize, sleepy head.” He grinned at me, leaned forward, and kissed me on the lips. “I’m glad you’re up.”
“Oh yeah?” I asked, about to tell him that no, he wouldn’t be getting any morning nooky. “Why is that?”
“Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you to wake up.” He nodded, his eyes glowing as he lazily ran his fingers up and down the side of my body. “I need a coffee.”
“Uhm, okay?” I asked, taken aback. Coffee? He needed coffee? What? “I’d love one, too.”
“So then you get us both one.” He smiled as he rolled onto his back. “I’ll hop in the shower while you do.”
“Wait, what?” I blinked in confusion. “You want me to get you a coffee?”
“Yeah. The hotel coffee isn’t great, but there’s a coffee shop five blocks away that has an amazing matcha.” He smiled as he jumped up. “They have pastries as well, if you want one.” He grabbed his wallet and pulled out a fifty. “This should be enough for everything. No pastries for me.”
“You want me to go and get you a coffee?”
“I thought that was clear?” He stared at me, looking confused. “Is there a problem?”
“But I thought…” My voice trailed off. What had I thought? That just because we’d made love the night before I would no longer be his personal assistant? I grabbed the fifty from him. “Fine. Let me grab some clothes.”
He nodded and leaned down and gave me a kiss. His lips were strong, confident, and warm, and I hated how my body still reacted to him. “Don’t worry,” he said, chuckling as he leaned back. “We can make love again this evening. But I want to get an early start this morning.”
“I’m not worried.” I jumped up out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. “I’m going to have a quick shower and then head out for the coffee.”Like a good servant, I thought.
“Great,” he said, following behind me and tapping me on the ass lightly. I shivered at his touch. Why did my body react so easily to his touch?
“Where are you going?” I looked behind my shoulder, eyes narrowed.
“To kill two birds with one stone.” He winked at me. “We can shower together.”
