"I told you I wouldn't be responsible for what happens." Before she could reply he strolled out the room as if nothing happened.She touched her swollen kissed lips trying to make sense of what had just happened,her body had taken control and her mind had followed as if she hadn't been in control of what was happening.How was that possible?The hunger she had felt had been so strong and intense never before has she experienced something so incredible. Never before has she wanted a man so badly as her soon to be husband.It was going to be a long night she thought as she went into the bathroom to freshen up,when she climbed under the sheets and closed her eyes thoughts of Max entered her mind,after a while she heard his shower running.She can still smell and feel him around herThe following morning she woke up early to prepare breakfast she couldn't sleep the whole night thoughts of Max kept intruding her mind,everytime when she closes her eyes she sees them kissing.She can only hope th
"What about it?"He stopped doing whatever he had been doing and faced her."It shouldn't have happened and we shouldn't allow it to happen again.""Okay.Anything else."His behaviour was odd and for some reason she doesn't believe him."Max I'm being serious.""I didn't say you weren't."If only she knew he thought."I'm glad that's out of the way,I didn't want things to be awkward between us.""Adriana you don't have to worry or feel embarrassed about anything.Shall we go?""Yes,let me quickly change Amelia.Are you sure it won't be a problem for you to show me around.""None at all.Get ready I'll be in my study.Call me when you'll be done."She nodded at him and he left,in their room she quickly bathe and then dressed Amelia,she herself changed into something more comfortable a yellow summer dress with thin spaghetti straps she wore flat pumps on her feet and left her hair loose.Knocking softly on his study door she waited a second,later it swung open and she found herself face to face
"Think about it,you don't have to give me an answer now.You can begin as soon as we gonna get back from our honeymoon." In the meantime he was gonna call the agent and pay the lease.He knows she was gonna accept his offer he can see it in her eyes.His offer was tempting and she was thinking of accepting he did say it will be a loan and she will definitely pay him back every cent,even if she can go to the bank for a loan they'll flat out refuse.She'll think it over and get back to him she still has some time left before their wedding."I need to use the restroom do you mind looking after her till I get back.""No problem."Inside the ladies room she stared back at herself in the mirror.What was she gonna do?Her cell rang and it was the bank informing her that the mortgage has been paid off. Max and his generosity she doesn't know what to make of all this,he has taken full control over her life and she has no idea if she should be angry or grateful that he has helped her. Atleast now s
But he still can't understand why she was so angry and his own patience was running out.He's never ran after any woman before or even give a damn as to why she was mad but look at him now standing in front of her trying to figure out what the hell went wrong and all she was doing is keeping quiet."I asked you a question."He said quietly."And what makes you think I'm going to answer you.Let go of me!" She yanked her hand free."Don't ever touch me again you have no right."He's had enough of this."Running after women,any woman isn't my style in your case I made an exception because I could see you were upset and troubled.I'm done with this."He turned to leave but she spoke."I'm not going to marry you anymore.I cannot believe I was so dumb to trust any word that came out of your mouth." He faced her."What are you talking about?"He genuinely looked puzzled any other day she would've believed him but she has seen and heard everything with her own eyes and ears."Nice one Mr Torrés playi
What happened to her telling him this shouldn't happen again now they have gone further than kissing,he had explored her most sacred place just thinking about it makes her hot all over again.Angry at herself she stood up and faced him she cannot ignore him forever."That shouldn't have happened."He got that smug look on his face,one eyebrow was raised as if to say...really.It only made her more angry."What shouldn't have happened.Me kissing you,touching you, caressing every inch of your body."Adriana's body responded to his words something build inside her core."Making you squirm and tremble underneath me while my fingers were pleasuring you taking you to new heights...have you clutching my-.....""Stop it!"She said,anymore and she will definitely ask him to make love to her."That's enough.""Are you sure,I'll be more than happy to take you back there again."He took a step closer to her and she moved away. "You want me and being in denial won't make it go away,you only increasing your
"We have to go,we'll see you later.""Stay,I'll take you home shortly."He said."It's okay Max,there's no need you must be busy with loads of work."How could he work when her sweet mouth was constantly on his mind."Sam my attorney will be here soon he's bringing some paperwork I'm gonna need you to sign along with the agreement you wanted.""Oh.Okay."She sat down again."Are you sure you don't want anything."He asked again."We fine Max,you continue doing whatever you were busy with Amelia and I will quietly sit here and not disturb you I promise."She smiled and he thought there was no woman more beautiful than her,and he also wondered why the change of heart.He went back to his desk and sat down but instead of concentrating on his laptop screen his eyes landed on her,she was quietly playing with Amelia oblivious to the fact that he was looking at her,never before has any woman had him this interested as she.What is it about her?Why does his mind think of nothing other than to hold
"Like I said I'll let you know."Adriana kept quiet and looked out the window.She has no idea what to make of Max's new behaviour towards them,it's like he has changed in a matter of hours.At the penthouse he excused himself to make a phone call she was in their room playing with Amelia when he appeared."The sitter will be here in ten minutes you might want to come out.""We'll be right out."She took Amelia,climbed off the bed and followed him seconds later the doorbell rang and he went to answer it."Adriana meet Heather she'll take care of Amelia for the night Heather this is my fiancé and our daughter Amelia."Fiancé? Daughter?What was wrong with Max?"Nice to meet you Miss...-""Call me Adriana."She interrupted her."Adriana."She finished."Hey Amelia I'm Heather."She touched Amelia's hand."You want to come to me."She outstretched her arms,Amelia hesitated at first but ended up going."We'll be okay."Heather told them."Max.Why did you tell Heather I'm your fiance and Amelia is your
"How else do you propose I express my gratitude if you want me to stop thanking you."The words were out before she could stop them,she really should learn to watch her mouth in front of this man.Luckily no said anything further and she was grateful,they stopped at a hotel,Max came to open her door putting her hand in his she climbed out.Her whole body turned hot she was flustered and breathless,a porter came to go and park the car.Max hooked her arm through his as they made their way up the steps of the hotel,cameras began to flash around them questions were being asked but Max ignored them he kept on leading her inside.She wonder if he'll inform the media about her and their upcoming wedding.They entered the lobby she saw a receptionist desk he led her passed it beautiful marble tiles on the floor,and high ceilings. Soon they were in a big hall full of men and women,there were also high ceilings in the room with beautiful crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceilings.She saw a big
"Stop defending her!You're my husband.It's her fault if she hadn't come into our lives none of this would've happen we would be happy.""That's not true.We broke up long before I married her.You also married and the baby you lost wasn't mine.""No,you lying to me."She looked so devastated Adriana felt sorry for her."I'm not."Max said."Why Max."She finally said after a while."Why her and not me?""Because I love her Marcella,whatever we had is over. Adriana is the love of my life and the mother of my kids.I've moved on so should you.""I can't live without you Max I love you.Please don't do this.""I don't love you,I love Adriana and that will never change.""No,you don't mean that.She forced you to say all this things didn't she.Didn't you!"She flung at Adriana."She didn't force me to say anything.Marcella you not well." His tone soften up a bit."You need help and I'll happily give it to you.Does your family know you here.""Don't touch me!"She snapped when he wanted to grab her ar
"Why did you do that?"She asked."It's late,and I'm enjoying my wife in my arms."She buried her face in his neck his scent surrounding her."It could be important maybe it's work related besides I know not many people have your personal number."She had a point he thought and on cue it rang again. "Answer."She urged."We almost home and I want you all to myself without any disturbance."He checked to see who it was but the caller id showed unknown."Torrés."He said down the line."Max.."He heard Marcella say on the other end.His whole body became rigid every cell in him turned ice cold. Adriana lifted her head to look at Max when she felt his body stiffen under hers.The look in his eyes was empty and that scared her."I miss you my love."She said in spanish."I miss your arms around me.""How dare you call me."His tone devoid of any emotion Adriana knew he was talking to Marcella."We could've been so happy together,we still can be.Don't you want me.Don't you love me anymore?""Goodbye Ma
On the other hand she doesn't want to worry Max more than he already is,that's the only reason she was biting her tongue and not saying anything.Her babies are growing so fast they are four months and feeding like there's no tomorrow Max was proud that they are growing by day he's really looking forward in teaching the boys all the guy stuff.Tonight Michelle will stay longer to assist Maria with the triplets Max had said they don't have to stay long.When Heather had seen the kids on her two day visit in Florida she had been in awe of them even telling Adriana that her daughter will date one of the boys when they'll be grown or both Adriana had laughed at the comment.She had also appreciated the fact that Heather didn't probe or ask questions regarding the Max,Marcella saga, walking over to her dresser she put on her diamond earrings with matching necklace that Max has gifted her for their one year wedding anniversary.He casually strolled into the bedroom she saw he was putting on t
"You won't because I'm never letting you go."He promised gently he tilt her chin to look at him."I won't ever allow anyone to harm you in any way."His mouth swooped down to claim hers in a tender soft kiss as always she was lost in an instant."Will I ever get enough of you."She groaned when they pulled apart.He chuckled."Even I cannot get enough of you.""My life.My everything."She tenderly stroked his cheek."How about we leave for a couple of days.Just us,me you and the kids let's get away from all this,to a place where no one will find us.""As much as the idea entices we both know Amara isn't strong enough to travel far.""I just want things to go back to the way they were.""Me too sweetheart and I promise you we will go back to the way things were.""What are we gonna do about Marcella?"She asked."First of all there is no 'we' I'll handle everything on my own I'm not going to put you in harms way.The kids still need you and so do I.""You really think she will hurt me?""When
Adriana was speechless hearing Max confess his love for her so openly left her numb,if she has ever doubt his love for her she now heard with her own ears to what extend Max loves her.A love as theirs only comes once and she was honoured that a man such as him loves her the way he does."That's love my friend it makes you forget about what's right or wrong when it comes to the people you love."Sam responded."I never thought I'd ever see you fall in love.""Well I guess there's a woman for every man out there.""And Adriana is that woman for you.""She's more than that and I'll do anything to prove to her how much I love her and will never betray her or her trust.Finding Marcella is crucial I know she won't just give up on me not until Adriana is out of the picture.She tried to break us up and didn't succeed one thing is certain she will try something else.""I'll dig further see if I can't find anything else.Why don't you take Adriana and the kids away for a while until we have found
Max had fetched the triplets around dawn when they had began to cry now all three of them were lying between them,she smiled as she gazed down at their sleeping forms.Bright morning light was shining through the windows their dad looked irresistible not able to resist she touched his cheek and allowed her hand to trail down his bare chest,she's had him the whole night and still her hunger to have him was fierce."The triplets are here,unless if you prepared for them to find their parents in a compromising position I'd advise you to stop."He said facing her with that sexy grin."You so delectable it's not my fault I cannot have enough of you."He grabbed her wrist and brought her hand close to his lips Adriana's toes curled when his breath lightly caressed her fingers,automatically her eyes fell shut when he kissed her hand.Why should he have a right to make her feel this way."I love how you respond every time I touch you."He murmured against her knuckles."Your touch is intoxicating,I
"Morning."She flashed him that gorgeous smile every bone in his body melt,will he ever get used to her beauty."Max?"He heard her say."What is it."His tone not too gentle he cursed himself when he saw her flinch the confusion clear in her eyes he went over to the closet when he returned she was standing at the foot of the bed softly stroking Amara's back,her night dress left little to his already lustful imagination and thoughts good thing he was fully clothed."Max?"The tenderness in her voice forced him to look at her."I'm sorry,I didn't have a great night.""Is that all."She probe,she could see the hesitation in his eyes when he blinked it was gone."Is something bothering you.""No."He eventually said."I'm late for work."He leaned closer and kissed Amara before she could say anything he was gone. Adriana wonder what happened for him to snap like that she hopes everything was okay at work.He didn't even kiss her goodbye when he left which made her worry even further.Has he heard f
"I have to take care of some work I'll join you later."Max said the second they stepped into the house."Okay."She replied and proceeded upstairs,firstly she checked on the boys they were sleeping soundly.In their room she slowly got undressed she headed over to her closet and slipped on her night dress.She was exhausted, she hasn't even went by the hospital to see Amara today, her baby was coming home in a weeks time and she was excited they will finally be together all of them and she cannot wait.She went to lay down but after an hour of tossing and turning she gave up and got out of bed wearing her shoes and taking the baby monitor she went outside maybe a walk on the beach will help clear her mind. She wonder how her life would've turned out if she hadn't met Max, where would she and Amelia be.He really has turned her whole world upside down,she never imagined she would love someone the way she loves him.Was it even possible to love anyone this much...so strongly?She sighed deep
She went to bed alone that night and couldn't shut a wink,Max didn't come to bed until early morning he didn't touch her neither did he sleep under the sheets,but she could still feel his body heat warming her up.She wanted to turn and reach out to him but didn't,eventually she fell asleep.The next morning her phone ringing woke her up she saw it was Cameroon."Cammy?"She murmured."Morning and sorry for calling so early I just want to hear how you holding up."She sat upright."I'm fine?What's wrong?""I guess you haven't read the morning paper or watched the news."Cameroon said.Adriana was instantly awake."No,I haven't.What happened?""I hate to be the bearer of bad news.""Spit it out already!"She anxiously said."There are pictures of Max and Marcella all over the news and paper,it's front page news and I hate to say this but it looks bad Adriana."Without saying anything she dropped the call and switched on the television the first thing she saw was a picture of Max and Marcella n
