The door opens and Max walks through looking beat. The sight of him makes my mouth water. Even covered in dirt with disheveled hair, he’s the sexiest man alive. As soon as our eyes lock, his face lights up and I go to him.
We kiss briefly before he pulls back and starts to pull his shirt off. “Babe, I’m filthy, let me get a shower.”
“How was your day?” I ask following him.
“Good, long, aggravating. There’s a lot of work to be done, but I think with local labor, we can have renovations done in two phases. What about you.”
“It was interesting.”
By this time he’s turned on the shower and is completely naked in front of me. I rake my eyes down his body and lick my lips.
“Wanna join me?” he asks laughing.
“Yes, but I can’t. I need to talk to you about something important and if I get in that shower, we’ll never talk.”
“Sounds serious. Talk while I shower.” He steps in and closes the curtain.
I tell him about everything that happened at the school and Pedro’s story. I also tell him about my brainstorming ideas I’ve had in the last hour and how we can shift our community efforts.
He steps out and starts to dry off in silence. When he doesn’t respond to anything I’ve said for a full two minutes, I start to fidget.
“Bella, you know his story is one of many right? This specific area is poor and under developed. There are a few other factories in the area that provide work, but what you’re thinking is close to impossible. JOS and Hurst & McCoy can’t develop an entire economical platform. We can only do so much. Your dedication is admirable, but don’t set yourself up for failure. Let’s follow our plan and see what happens next.”
“I don’t like to be challenged, Max. I think this could work. You should at least think about it.”
“It’s not a challenge, it’s a reality. What we’ve already planned is going to take a year to get running smoothly. The medical agenda alone is probably a two year project.”
“So let’s add some manpower and a few more programs.”
“You’re not listening to me.”
“I hear what you’re saying,
please think about it.”
He wraps the towel around his waist and comes to stand in front of me. “It’s really hard to deny you anything.”
“I don’t like being denied. It rarely happens.” I grin and lift on my toes to brush my lips against his. “Now get dressed.”
“Why?”
“You’re going to the community center to see Pedro and we need to figure out how to keep him in school and keep his brother out of trouble.”
He opens his mouth to argue but I place my finger against his lips. “Then when you get back to this room tonight, it’s anything you want. And I mean anything,” I whisper seductively.
He drops the towel and pulls me against his damp, hard body. The warmth from the hot water still seeping off his skin. My arms wrap around his neck and I look up to meet his deep blue eyes filled with heat. “All night, Stella, I’m going to be inside your wet, tight pussy all night. I’m going to lick you, bite you, eat you, and then fuck you until you scream my name. You’re gonna feel me with every step you take tomorrow. And then if I’ve had my fill, I may let you out of bed. If not, we repeat until I’m satisfied. You’re gonna do everything I say and like it. “
A moan escapes my throat and I rub against him. “I look forward to it.”
He steps away and starts dressing. Once he leaves, I call Laci and fill her in on my new ideas. She promises to talk to her dad and Chris tomorrow.
I wait for two hours restlessly, watching the door. When it finally opens, I jump off the couch and watch Max come in, looking even more tired than before. He eyes me wearily and goes to the bathroom.
“Be naked when I get out, Stella.”
The authority in his tone is alarming and at the same time sexy. I rush to the side of the bed and strip, getting under the sheets in record time. He slams around in the bathroom and curses loudly, but when he opens the door, his face is calm.
He stalks to me with determination and I scoot back on the bed.
