MEREDITH'S POVAs Mary extracted me from the tiny box, I didn't utter a sound or remember how to blink. She didn't say much as she removed the blindfold off my eyes. "Come," she beckoned. "Your new master wants me to give you a bath."New master? What the hell. I didn't like that term at all. "But I can bathe myself," I protested. "Yes I know Meredith, but this is my order. Now come," she said irritated. I reluctantly followed her to the bathroom and stepped into the tub of warm water that was drawn for me. My body felt tense as Mary's hands rubbed soap along my collarbone and my chest. She applied some body wash to my washcloth and handed it to me so I could wash my privates myself. She faced away from me to allow some privacy while I cleaned myself. Once I completed my bath, Mary provided me with a lovely pink baby doll dress and some mesh underwear to wear. These clothes were at least normal, and as if she could read my thoughts, she remarked, "The master selected these for you
MEREDITH'S POV Not a single ounce of emotion existed in those blue orbs. My heart ached, because the way Max was looking at me was nothing close to how he did when we first met. Everything about him now was dark and cold. He was exuding a sense of danger that sent even more chills down my bones. "That's what I am to you, a toy?" I spat. He lit up his cigar and took a puff from it. He narrowed his eyes while observing me. He took a few more puffs before putting the cigar in the ashtray. "Come here," he beckoned me closer, slapping his thigh to suggest I take a seat on his lap. I trembled and felt goosebumps forming on my skin. When I first encountered Max, I believed he was a kind-hearted angel. Gazing at him now, I recognized the devil lurking beneath his charming exterior, with his malicious intentions shining through. "No," I said, folding my arms across my chest and staying rooted in my place. "No!" He cackled. "I'm sorry, love, but I don't know what that word me
MAXIMILIAN'S POVI was lost in thought. Meredith's words echoed repeatedly in my mind. 'Hate me?' I should be the one to hate her after I opened my bed and heart to her, and what did she do in return? Stole the cheque right under my nose. Was it always about money for her? I startled when someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Paxton behind me, gazing at me with a puzzled expression. "Shit, man, you startled me," I smirked as I took a drag from my cigar. "Sorry," he apologized. "Since when do you smoke?" He asked me. "Since I fell for someone who chewed me up and spat me out like I was chicken bone," I grunted, throwing the cigar bud in the fire. The wood crackled, and the flames flickered as I stormed to go plop on the couch. "What happened? You're all broody and irritated," Paxton mentioned. "I thought you'd be happy. You've got your girl, so why aren't you two riding off into the sunset?""I genuinely believed I would be able to forget that she took the cheque
MEREDITH'S POV'Go ahead and kiss him, girl. Just grab him by the neck and kiss the shit out of him,' the little devil girl on my left shoulder urged me. 'Meredith, ignore what she says. Tell this man to get off you. Show him who's boss,' the tiny lady on my right shoulder, dressed in an angel outfit, demonstrated. 'He treated you like a prostitute.''So? What's so awful about getting slapped around with cum on your face?' the Devil girl joked. 'Nothing is wrong with a man rocking your world and holes, and then giving you money on top of that. Shit! I'd have a plate of whatever this hunk is serving. Look at him, with his fine ass," the Devil lady purred. Maybe Devil girl was right. I worked at the Sugar Baby club, a place famous for those kinds of exchanges. Perhaps Max just misunderstood what I stood for and figured I was a working girl, too. 'Don't listen to her, Meredith!' the Angel lady shouted. 'Stay in the light and resist the temptation of the dark side.'I caught sight of M
MEREDITH'S POVMax faltered for a moment, but he soon found his balance again. He tightened his jaw muscles, and I could see he was doing everything he could to hold back his emotions. His views softened, making him look more playful now. I gulped because this look in his eyes terrified me more than his aggressive look. This look was pulling me in like a moth to a flame. This look stirred feelings in my nether parts that I would prefer not to feel right now. "Well," Max began running a thumb over the side of his mouth. "I shouldn't have removed my fingers and tasted how sweet your juices are," he stated, looking me dead in the eye. Shit! I'm in trouble, I whispered internally. 'We both are, sis,' Devil girl purred. I knew I should have taken a step back. Even Angel lady was yelling for me to retreat, but I took a step forward instead. I opened my mouth and even though my heart was fluttering in my chest and my body was trembling from nervousness, I still found the courage to say,
MEREDITH'S POV"Brenda, am I doing the right thing?" I asked my best friend who was lying on the carpet in my bedroom eating chips and dip. The moment she chomped down on a Dorito, the crisp sound made my eye twitch. "Would you mind not chewing like that?"After taking a sip of pop, she expressed her apologies and sat upright. "Look, if you don't want to be his Sugar Baby, then tell him.""You know how I feel about this sort of thing," I murmured. When I was five, my father left with his mistress, who was thirty years younger than him. Despite my mother being younger than him too, he still decided to marry someone who was only eighteen."Hey, cheer up. At least Max doesn't have a fiancé and a kid.""You're right," I exhaled. I tried to stand up from the bed and reacted with a slight flinch. Max and I spent the last twenty-four hours getting reacquainted if you know what I mean. "You need an ice bath," Brenda smirked. "I see Mr. Max has been doing his job and rocking that pussy.""Bre
MAXIMILIAN'S POVI spent the early hours of dawn in my home gym releasing some energy. My lovemaking proved to be too intense for poor Meredith. She begged me to let her sleep, but ever since she arrived, I couldn't control my arousal. It was always up and ready for her. I lifted weights and did stretches for a few hours, and afterward, I instructed my driver to pick up Brenda. I figured a quick visit from her best friend would brighten Meredith's day. I grabbed a shower and then took a few meetings over the phone in my home office. After two hours of negotiations with clients from Russia, I finally convinced them to sign with my company. I felt a sense of accomplishment and called my lawyer to inquire about the progress of that contract. I aimed to ensure that everything was proceeding well. A notification appeared on my phone. I scrolled down and opened it. This report centered around Asher and Kimberly. According to reports, both were chosen as supporting leads for an upcoming s
MAXIMILIAN'S POVPaxton's chest was heaving, and Meredith looked like she forgot how to breathe. Then my eyes shifted to where Paxton's arms were curled under her butt.What the fuck was Meredith wearing? I felt the blood boiling in my veins."Max?" Meredith's lips parted as she spoke my name. Paxton settled her on her feet and remarked, "Hey man, how's it going?"What? That was all he had to say? Ok, then. "Everything is great, Pax," I replied with a tight smile. "Did I interrupt something? You two seemed like you were having fun in here." It took everything in me to stop myself from punching his face."Nah, we were just talking and stuff. It's not a big deal," Paxton let out. "Talking and stuff?" Really? I drew another sip of my coffee. "Why don't you enlighten me about the stuff you were talking about?"Paxton exhaled deeply. "Man, you're acting strange. Is everything alright?""How am I acting strange because I asked you a question?""I don't know, maybe because you're looking
