"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.

He was quiet for a while she wonder what was running through his head,he was a closed book she can't read him the only time she can understand what is going through his head is when he talks and she hardly gets anything from that either.Will she ever understand him."Come."He took her glass and gave it to a waiter."Where to?"Surely he wasn't about to take her onto the dance floor,dancing wasn't for her,not that she can't it just wasn't for her."Max,wait,I can't dance.And I'm sure you don't want to be humiliated in front of everyone that's exactly what I'll do."He stopped,and drew her close to him,he took her one hand and placed it on his shoulder,she could feel his warm hand resting on her lower back it spread heat throughout her whole body,next he took her other free hand in his."Trust me."He said."Trust yourself.Let the music guide you and flow through your body,surrender to the music.....to me,look into my eyes and don't break contact the rest will follow."He finished, Adriana no

Taking her silk robe and quickly wrapping it around herself she dashed to the bedroom to attend to her niece.She hasn't seen Max since their night out together two weeks ago,he had sent her a text saying he had to go to Spain urgently and he doesn't know when he'll be back.The penthouse felt so empty without his presence,and she doesn't even want to ask herself why. Since his absence she has started working on getting her shop ready and she's happy to say it was coming along perfectly all that's left to do is get the flowers,she's also gone shopping buying a few dresses,evening gowns and new lingerie along with shoes too.She's looked at a few daycare's for Amelia and found two that she had been comfortable at,after their wedding she will enroll her in one.She paced the floor with Amelia hoping she will go back to sleep but instead it seems to make her more restless.She checked the time and saw it was eight thirty."What's wrong sweetie?"She placed a hand on her forehead to feel if s

Adriana stirred and stretched herself,never before has she felt so rested her eyelids fluttered open and she saw it morning her gaze fell on Amelia she was still asleep.She better get up and quickly take a shower before she was gonna wake up she lifted herself but something heavy around her waist prevented her from getting up.When she looked a soft gasp came from her mouth as she saw Max laying next to her fast asleep and looking so sexy.His arm was resting heavily around her mid-section, how come he was in bed with her?When did he come?What had happened last night?She glanced at herself and saw she was still wearing her robe...thank goodness.Her eyes landed on Max,his hair was loose and his chest was bare her eyes greedily feast on his naked chest,her fingers itched to reach out and feel how his chest hair will feel under her palm her gaze went even lower,her breath caught in her throat.Dear lord help her no matter how hard she was telling herself to look away she couldn't,this man

She watched how he tenderly stroked her chubby cheeks,she tried to put his fingers in her mouth but he replaced it with her feeding cup.Adriana couldn't help but smile at the scene before her eyes,he can make a good,responsible father if he wanted to be she can see that now.Babies has a way of changing us they make us parents,she hadn't known much about children but ever since Amelia had become apart of her every day life she's learned alot on babies and toddlers she had even bought books to get a better understanding of them.Even when Amelia had been teething did she give Adriana a hard time but she made it she almost knows everything about this cute little being,and she cannot wait to learn more,the day she was gonna have one of her own she'll be prepared but unlike Beth she would want to breastfeed her baby,making their bond even stronger."Can I refuse this gift."She asked him."No you can't it's a must."He said."Max...""Adriana."He stood and crossed his arms."Fine,what kind

"See you tomorrow."Christine said cheerfully."You too."She dropped the call and tore of the piece of paper she had wrote on before stuffing it in the back pocket of her jeans.When she turned she walked straight into Max's broad hard chest,she could feel his hands on her arms as he steadied her.Her heart skipped and began to race,she met his formidable gaze and wondered if she'll ever get used to his nearness and what it does to her insides."Sorry."She mumbled.He wonder who she had been talking to."Don't be,you didn't know I was here.""When did you get back?""Just now."He searched her gaze."What are you doing in here?""I needed a pen and paper so I came to check in here.I'm sorry for entering your private space without asking.""It's okay Adriana."She stepped out of his arms."Let me go and prepare dinner."She was at the door when he spoke.

"The day I do find that someone then I will."They stood looking at each other time seems to stand still.His warm hand was still stroking her cheek she craved for him wanted to lean into him wanted to feel his body up against her own...naked.She wanted to reach out and let her fingers touch the dark hairs on his chest that was visible, she wanted so many things from this man needed so much from him yet she knew it wasn't possible. Day by day he was ingratiated himself into their lives,and each day she was longing more and more for him,it was becoming hard for her to picture her life without him.What was she thinking?What was she feeling?Why is she so drawn to this man someone she has just met and know for a few weeks.How come she so badly wanted him to make love to her and touch her where no one else has.

"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.

"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
