“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.
