Max and I started spending more time together after our trip to the mall. If I wasn't with Avery, talking to our friends from the Philippines, Mom, or Alex on the phone—or meeting with my regulars—I was usually with Max. When we weren't fooling around, we did various things together, from studying to random activities. Spending quality time with him made me realize he's a cool guy, funny, caring about his close ones, and has some fascinating life stories.

I still think you might be developing feelings for him, but please continue with your point.

Well, my point is that he's a relaxed and easygoing guy.

Oh, really? So, that 'nightmare' from a few days ago doesn't bother you at all?

No, not at all. Like I said, I've completely ignored it.

Now, let's move on...

It's safe to say that whenever Max and I hang out, something crazy always happens. This evening was no different. We were currently at the Learning Commons, trying our luck at the first of many vending machines for snacks.

    Chuckling, Max teases me as I playfully roll my eyes and maintain a small smile. He leans over, wrapping his arms around my waist and seating me on his lap. I straddle him, running my fingers through his hair and idly toying with the strands at the nape of his neck."I think we deserve a reward for completing all that work in just two hours. What do you think?""A reward?" I inquire, then shrug casually. "I'm not sure. Why don't you show me exactly what you mean?"He smirks, leaning back slightly from the headboard to start planting kisses on my neck. His fingers graze my stomach through my shirt, sending shivers across my sensitive skin. I steady his head with my grip on his hair, allowing him to pull me closer, and we start grinding against each other. The buzzing of his phone on the nightstand momentarily distracts us, but we continue our intimate activity. He tightens his hold on me, guiding my movements in a way that promises mutual satisfaction, and his phone buzzes again. I sta

    "Dude, I've seen this movie like ten times since it came out, and that bar montage always cracks me up.""Yeah, Justin Chon is hilarious. I nearly died the first time I watched the scene where he whipped out his...you know," Ryder replies as the credits roll."Yeah," I chuckle.Ryder texted me after class, inviting me to his apartment. We had some fun in his fancy indoor pool - turns out the guy is crazy rich, which I didn't know until today. We decided to watch "21 & Over" in his home theater, where we may or may not have spent the first half of the film cuddling in one of the recliners."Well, I should head out," I say, getting up to put my shorts and shirt back on. "I've got a ton of laundry waiting for me back in my dorm.""Before you go," Ryder says, getting dressed as well, "can I ask what you're up to on Friday night?""I'll be working until five. Why, what's going on?""Well, my parents are opening a new hotel downtown, and they're throwing this big gala for it. I was wonderin

    The Night of the Gala"Wow, Vega. You look fantastic!" Ryder exclaims as I meet him at the door.The more I scrutinized myself in the mirror after getting ready, the more I became convinced that the outfit didn't suit me. I don't know, it just didn't feel like my style. However, I decided to put my reservations aside. I knew my choice of attire wouldn't be suitable for venues like The Knowles Hotel. Not that I hadn't contemplated it initially, though. My desire to show up in a crop top and ripped skinny jeans was short-lived when I considered that Ryder might face consequences with his parents.You're going soft on me, Slayer.Hey, I admit I can be a jerk, but I can also be decent when necessary...well, it's either that or this dress is making me feel unexpectedly princess-like and proper.I really hope it's just the dress. The thought of you turning soft all of a sudden is cringe-worthy.Whatever. My point is, I'd be a complete jerk if I were to intentionally ruin this night for Ryde

    A little over five minutes later, I'm exhaling with relief as the last drops of concentrated liquid exit my system.Trust me, you haven't experienced heaven until you've finally relieved yourself after holding it in for too long.I pull up my underwear, straighten the hem of my dress, flush the toilet, and then retrieve my clutch before stepping out of the stall to wash my hands.You probably didn't need all those details, but hey, I want to recount my story as vividly as possible, so deal with it. Anyway, brace yourselves for what unfolds next...I'm drying my hands with a paper towel when I glance up in the mirror and spot Ashley standing right behind me, sporting a sinister Cheshire-like grin.Before I can react, she slams my head into the massive vanity mirror.Ryder wasn't joking; this woman is seriously unhinged!"What's your problem, you idiot?!" I step back from the now bloodied and shattered mirror, which now bears the imprint of my forehead. I press my palm to my right eyebr

    "When was your first time?" He inquires, just before taking a sip to settle the score for shutting down my previous question regarding how he and Kalix met.Max and I had only left downtown by 10:00 pm, and neither of us felt like calling it a night just yet. We swung by my dorm for me to change out of my dress and then headed to Goleta Beach Park. Max had some liquor stashed in his car's trunk, so we've been playing Twenty-one Questions ever since we got here.In this edition, there are no forbidden questions, but none can be repeated. If we choose not to answer, we must take a sip from our bottle.I just wrapped up my eleventh question for Max, and he's just asked his."With you," I reply with a poker face, and his eyes widen as he nearly chokes on the fiery alcohol."You're fibbing," he eventually asserts as if it's common knowledge, and I can't help the laughter that escapes from deep within me."And you're incredibly gullible," I tease him. Seriously, though, did he forget me men

    Max adjusts his position, kneeling upright, to remove his shirt, while I do the same, discarding my top and bra. We both lower our underwear and pants just enough to facilitate what comes next. Max swiftly puts on a condom and enters me within moments."Isabella, you're so tight," he remarks as I respond with my hips to his movements."No," I retort, "you're just too big, remember?"His deep chuckle rumbles through his throat and brushes my neck, causing a delightful shiver. I try to suppress my impending climax; it would be embarrassing if he knew how quickly I'm approaching it.You realize what you just said, right? Buffy comments.Sorry, can't hear you over the cheesecake making a fuss in my stomach!"It's okay," Max reassures me with a wink. "We'll make it work, like we always do."And just like that, our bodies align perfectly, and we make it work as we always do. However, I soon notice a difference between this encounter and our previous ones. Max's thrusts are slow and steady,

    I'm currently engaged in a physical encounter with my friend, Ryder Knowles, after unsuccessful experiences with seventeen other men who failed to arouse me. This situation is unprecedented between Ryder and me, as he's usually highly skilled in satisfying me quickly. However, this time, I find myself almost as unresponsive as I was during my last encounter with Jake before removing him from my list.Ryder abruptly stops and lies down beside me, propping his head on his hand. He remarks, "Alright, who is he?" I sit up, puzzled, and inquire, "What do you mean?"He checks his watch and continues, "Our encounters typically last no longer than seven or eight minutes. It's been fifteen minutes now, and you haven't shown any signs of enjoyment." He presses further, "So, spill the beans. Who's the lucky guy that my favorite casual partner," playfully nudging me, "has developed feelings for?"There goes my attempt to convince myself that I don't harbor emotions for Max Blackwell.But I can't

    I don't have to wait long before that familiar sensation returns, overwhelming my senses. But I'm determined not to give up just yet. If Max doesn't bring me to climax soon, I won't let Avery and Buffy win.Max steadies my hips with one hand and uses the other to speed things up in my already aroused state. This pushes me closer to orgasm even faster than I can recall Buffy's insult, where she called me an idiot. And, well, I admit I was foolish for thinking this was a good idea.Once he gets me where he wants me, he licks his fingers clean and starts moving his body against mine, his lips locking onto mine. Unlike last night, he uses his tongue this time, and I don't mind at all. When he stops kissing me, I'm left panting for air. He looks down at me with desire in his half-lidded eyes, and, embarrassingly, I climax right then and there.Oh no, he made me climax.Gosh, he brought me to climax!Well, you know what that means, right?I'm in a bit of trouble.As if that weren't enough t

    Isabella "Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of our very own Isabella Vega and Max Blackwell," Father Raffaele begins as soon as the choir finishes off the song. Words can't describe how I felt when I first heard it playing behind the closed doors. Max has really outdone himself this time."In the years they have been together, both on and off - we all chuckle to that - "their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife." A few 'about time's' fire through the crowd, making us chuckle some more.Soon after, Father Raffaele announces that Max and I will be reciting our vows to one another, motioning for Max to begin with his. My man clears his throat ever so vigorously, earning his overdramatic ass another round of chuckles from the rest of us before he briefly turns to Father Raffaele."Sorry in advance, Father," Max warns him, and then he turn

    MaxI only saw her ten minutes ago, but damn, my jaw still drops when the chapel doors open, revealing her in all her glory. I proudly watch as my mother-in-law and brother-in-law join her on each side, slowly walking her down the aisle. What makes me smile even more is the moment Isabella's already beautiful face lights up in recognition at the song I've chosen for the processional. She's absolutely breathtaking, in every sense of the word.I could go on describing the details of the goddess walking towards me, but given that my dick is already as solid as a rock and we're inside a church, I'd rather spare all the witnesses here the image of me ejaculating on the spot. So, for the sake of all the guests, especially Father Raffaelem, who happens to be standing closest to me, let me just stop at she's absolutely breathtaking.Her arrival at the altar can't come fast enough.

    Isabella"Come on, Isabella, get a grip!" I scold my nerves, taking another swig of the bottle without letting any tequila spill on my expensive dress. I wipe the liquid from the side of my mouth with the back of my hand. "Why are you so nervous? It's just a wedding, and it's Max. He'd laugh if he saw you like this."Girl, if you don't calm down..., Buffy interjects, breaking through my nervous thoughts. Your back-and-forth pacing is giving MY conscience's conscience a headache. I take a deep breath before another swig. Pull yourself together! Max is probably as calm as ever while you're freaking out for no reason!As I'm about to bring the bottle to my lips again, a determined knock on the door interrupts me. Damn it! Where's a packet of Sour Patch Kids when you need one?"It's unlocked," I call out, turning around to take one last gulp. The door creaks open and closes, but the visitor remains silent. Then I hear the lock turning, slowly."Alex, if this is one of your lame attempts t

    Isabella "Are you alright, bro?" I inquire as I approach Alex on the porch swing of the Carters' old house."I've never been better," he replies, patting the seat beside him. "I just wanted to talk. Even though we FaceTime every night, it's never quite the same as being together in person.""I completely understand," I say, taking a seat next to him and resting my head on his shoulder. He rests his head on top of mine, and we stay like this for a while before he breaks the silence."Do you remember that time when you tried to be Spider-Woman and fell down the stairs?" He asks suddenly, instantly bringing a smile to my face. "You scraped your knee, but you didn't want Mom to find out because you knew she would scold you for not being careful. So instead, you came to me, begging me to fix the cut before she came home.""Yes," I chuckle softly. "I think I was around seven years old, right?""Seven and three months," he responds with a soft chuckle of his own. "And then there was the tim

    ~Five Weeks Later-MaxAfter five years of living on and off with Isabella, you might think I'd grow tired of waking up before her, but no, not at all. Despite both of us not being morning people, the days when I'm up before noon are special because I get to wake up my fiancée. The mere thought of our new reality makes me smile like a lunatic.With that smile on my face, I grab a coffee tray filled with Isabella's typical breakfast and head down the hall to the master bedroom. Once inside, I place the tray on a nightstand before slowly hovering over Isabella's sexy sleeping figure. Knowing she doesn't wake up when I initially touch her, I let my fingers graze her waist as I slide the silky covers off her bare body.She's always been breathtaking, from the moment I first laid eyes on her. Starting with her right leg, bent at the knee, I position myself over it and begin to kiss every inch of her, starting at her toes.My lips move up her sole to her heel, gradually reaching her calf, t

    ~At the Penthouse Suite~IsabellaUpon returning to the penthouse suite with our bags of groceries, Max poses a question."What did the savage mother say to her son when he informed her that his girlfriend was pregnant?" he inquires as we enter, closing the door behind us."You should've used protection?" I jest."Good one, but no," he chuckles. "She instead apologized, asking him who the father was.""Daaammmnnn," I laugh, conceding that it was one of the better jokes. Surprisingly, our banter, initiated at the grocery store, continues to be amusing. "Alright, my turn," I say, placing my bags on the expansive kitchen island. "To make this scenario work, I'll play the mother, and you'll be the son. We'll engage in a short conversation about you seeking permission to hang out with your girlfriend. Other than that, your responses won't impact mine much, so feel free to unleash that creative mind of yours.""Sounds good," he chuckles, depositing his bags on the island. "Ready when you ar

    After a few seconds, Caleb thanks Max for something simple, even though my boyfriend just stated the obvious. Hopefully, Caleb won't feel the need to hide himself after tonight."You can thank us both by asking that Jaxon kid out," Max suggests, handing Caleb a hundred-dollar bill."Okay, forget what I said about Caleb being irresistible; he's beyond that. I can't find words to describe the guy I'm sitting on, who doesn't realize he's making Caleb's night."Caleb, feeling shy and surprised, tries to return the money. He thinks it's too much, but Max insists and places it in Caleb's shirt pocket."I wasn't asking," Max states firmly, ending further discussion.Caleb breathes out in disbelief, scratching his head in embarrassment. "Thanks, man. I mean, I don't know what else to tell you," he says, shrugging helplessly.Max smirks, silently signaling Caleb not to worry. With a nod and an appreciative smile, Caleb goes back inside, probably to find Jaxon and ask him out.Turning to Max, h

I'll be surprised if they manage to hold anything given where we're headed tonight, but hey, I'm too lazy to take them out now."Take your time, I'll be in the living room!"Once I've tucked away the last bobby pin in who knows where, I check myself in the mirror one final time before joining Max."Sorry I took so long," I grimace when I find him on the couch engrossed in Real Housewives of Atlanta."No worries, ba—" His words vanish into thin air the moment his eyes land on me. I can't help but smile when they're replaced with a groan as he bites his fist."How does it look?" I ask, walking over to the door to slip on my white Converse."Like I'm not going to last long tonight," he replies smoothly, turning off the TV to stand up and join me at the door. "Holy fuck, I'm the luckiest motherfucker alive."Melting in his arms when he kisses my forehead, I thank my lucky

Yesterday involved exploring the city where our paths first crossed, but tonight promises an entirely different level of intimacy.The evening kicks off with the comical Valentine's Day cards we exchange..."Why am I not surprised?" I chuckle at Max's card, shaking my head at his cheeky sense of humor."Oh, please," he retorts, "like yours is any better." He displays the card I gave him, eliciting another round of laughter."Touché, touché," I concede, winking as I delve into the heartfelt note inside.Here's my love, take it.Here's my soul, use it.Wait a minute....Completing the remainder of the message, I smirk as my initial suspicion is confirmed.I glance up to find Max beaming at me proudly."What?
