“Jenna,” Max called in the most hypnotic voice. His hand trailed the front of my blouse. I could feel all kinds of pleasurable tremors tingling my body, but I would not give in. My heart felt no mercy as it beat in fast tiny rhythms. Heat flushed through every inch of me. And my sex burned for him so much that I could already feel the twitch on my clit.

“I’m just going to have a little taste. I’m not asking for permission. I’m letting you know what I’m doing.”

Before I could register what he’d said, Max’s tongue and lips were devouring my neck, bathing me down to my breast. How in the world? When did he unbutton my blouse?

“Max,” I whimpered. “I’m...I’m not...giving in. I’m not going to lose the—”

Too late. Max’s lips were already on mine. His kisses were intense and hungry. It felt like the first time we’d ever kissed. All the effort of trying to stay away from each other only intensified the need and want. Pure lust and love was a deadly combination when they were released. Max pushed up my skirt and his hands were all over my ass. Pushing away my panties, his hand was rubbing my clit. Oh my God! That felt so good. I wanted more.

Max anchored my legs around his waist and started to walk to who knew where. We were so much into sucking each other’s tongue and lips that Max banged against the wall cabinet. Then we banged against a few chairs, knocking them over when I tried to loosen his tie. We were on fire.

Max placed me down on his desk and raked his hair back. His chest rapidly moved up and down from being out of breath, and so did mine. I didn’t care if I lost the bet any more. I wanted Max inside me now.

“Jenna, I don’t want to win the bet,” Max said breathlessly.

I tried to come out of the daze. What did he just say? “Max. I don’t want to win.” I was tortured inside from needing him and now he wasn’t going to give me the release. I couldn’t help myself. I started to laugh. I was trying to turn the table and seduce him with my words. “If I did win, I was going to make you my slave and have my way with you in your office. This place reminds me of the first time I fell in love with you.” I placed my finger inside my mouth and sucked it.

Max lifted my chin with the tip of his finger and gave me his signature grin. “You can have me anywhere, babe,” Max growled softly. After he pulled out my finger, he placed it into his mouth. His eyes bored into mine. He was killing me.

Oh God! This wasn’t working.

I let out a moan and a whimper from being turned on again. The sound continued until Max stopped sucking my finger.

“We need to go. I need to show you the house. And if you like it, we can sign the papers today.”

“Really?” I slid off his desk and fixed myself to look more presentable. “Why didn’t you tell me in the first place? You did this to me again. Made me all excited and ready for you, then we have to leave.”

Max chuckled out loud. “I love to tease you, babe. I love to see your expression when I make you feel good.” Max moved in for a slow ‘pulling out my bottom lip with his teeth’ kind of kiss.

“Not fair,” I pouted, but I let it go since I also had to meet Becky before dinner.

“It’s always a pleasure, Mrs. Knight.”

“I’m not Mrs. Knight yet,” I warned.

“In four days you will be. I can’t wait.”

“You already have me, Max,” I said sincerely, softening my tone.

“And you already have me.” He kissed my forehead tenderly, then pulled back with a wicked grin. “I think we need to break in the house. Any way you want it, I’m all yours.”

It was my turn for payback. “I think I like winning. We can...Max!”

Max lifted me over his shoulder and gave me a smack on my ass. “I’m going to let you win. I’m going to strip you naked and take you in every section of the house, but it will be under my rules, my terms.”

Chapter 26

Jenna

Max pushed a remote and we entered through the gate. At first, all I saw were the trees, then the road curved into a long driveway. The garage was to the right, but Max parked right in front of the entrance, as did the realtor. Immediately, I fell in love with the exterior of the house. The layout reminded me of his parents’ home.

“Shall we?” Max asked, placing his hand behind my back. “Justin. This is my fiancée, Jenna.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Jenna.” Justin shook my hand.

“Likewise,” I said, releasing my hand.

Justin fidgeted with the lock box, opened the door, and we walked in. Wow! That was all I could say in my mind. A beautiful, crystal chandelier hung above and sparkled against the natural light. There were two stairways, one on each side, and the tan marble in the foyer was polished to shine. It definitely reminded me of Max’s parents’ place, but once I went further in it was a different layout.

After we saw the grand family room and the huge kitchen with the finest appliances, we went upstairs. There were six bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. Then the realtor took us to the last bedroom. My eyes grew bigger when the door swung wider. There was no furniture there, but I saw the potential. The added bonus was the massive bathroom. It was bigger than the one in Max’s place. And the closet was to die for, a walk-in his and her closet. It was bigger than my own bedroom.

“It’s beautiful, Max.”

Max had a huge, satisfied grin spread across his face. “Wait till you see the backyard.” He took my hand and led us to the balcony. There was a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a perfect sitting area where we could enjoy ourselves with our friends. It was amazing.
