Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 70: JEALOUS TYPE
"Max Blackwell, are you the jealous type?" I inquired."I wouldn't say I'm jealous," he replied. "I consider myself more territorial. Jealousy is wanting something that's not yours, while being territorial means protecting what already belongs to you. Isabella isn't and will never be my possession, but she is my girl, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe."Buffy chimed in, "He's got my vote for sure.""Absolutely," I agreed. "He should run for president."Caleb echoed Buffy's sentiment, saying, "It's official, he's got my vote too. No further questions." He leaned back in his chair, reaching for a slice of cheesecake as Kalix continued with the questioning.Kalix posed the next query, "Communication is crucial in any relationship, especially a romantic one. How do you plan to ensure that you both communicate effectively?"I noticed Alex and Avery's keen interest in this question, likely due to their awareness of the reason behind Max and my recent break. Max briefly glanced

"The First Night of the New Year""Absolutely not," Alex and Isaac simultaneously muttered, instantly pulling Avery and me to their side."We can't possibly let the couples team up," Isaac explained. "Who knows how long it would take you four to clean up if we did?"Now, you might be wondering what exactly was happening at this point in time. Well, to put it briefly, all the parents and kids were still at the Murphy's place even as the clock struck six. When we got the news that they wouldn't be back until midnight, we all quickly agreed to throw a party at our house. That decision, however, turned out to be a colossal mistake. Before we knew it, "midnight" had become "eleven at the latest," leaving us with a mere two hours, at most, to clean up the aftermath of a 200+ person party that had to be cut short.It had been an epic party, no doubt, but we also valued our lives. Consequently, we promptly ushered everyone out, including the rest of our friends. Though they wanted to assist,

Loraine and Darius's Wedding"Are you sure Loraine and Darius are fine with Kalix and me joining on such short notice?" Max inquires as he sneaks up on me, although it's not much of a sneak, since I can see him in the mirror. I'm in the midst of applying the last of my mascara before I slip into my dress.His hands gently encircle my waist as he nuzzles the crook of my neck, nearly causing me to squeal when he softly nibbles on my skin."Nope, nope, nope," I quickly turn to face him, finding him smirking at me, of course. "No hickeys until after the wedding." He rolls his eyes, but the smirk remains intact. "And yes, you two are more than welcome to come. Actually, Loraine and Darius anticipated that every guest might bring a plus one, so they accounted for extra chairs and dinner plates." Max raises an eyebrow, a curious yet comical expression. "And who would have been your plus one if I hadn't shown up?""I guess we'll never find out now," I tease, pushing him away and handing him h
Last Updated : 2023-11-14Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 73: ROMANTIC STAY AT THE HOXTON
"I still vividly recall the night I first laid eyes on you," Max whispers as he takes his time unzipping my dress, causing my body to erupt in goosebumps. "You immediately captured my attention, but I never anticipated how significant you'd become to me." He plants a gentle kiss on my bare shoulder as he gracefully lowers the dress by pulling down the straps until it falls to the floor."And I never thought I'd break my own rules for anyone, but at some point," I confess, turning slowly to meet his gaze, "you flashed that brilliant, infectious smile of yours, and deep down, I knew I was lost." His intense gaze remains locked on me as I begin unbuttoning his dress shirt, never breaking eye contact. In the meantime, Max places his thumb on my lips, parting them with delicate precision. "Could you do me a favor?" His shirt joins the pile on the floor."Anything," he breathes out, just as my fingers brush over his firm arousal when I move to lower his pants. He steps out of them before ge

"I'm in a relationship."That's exactly how Mom chose to reveal her new boyfriend to Alex and me on the last day of our winter break: straightforward, direct, and out of nowhere. The two of us were utterly perplexed when those words first came out of her mouth, so you can easily imagine our initial reaction..."Huh?" Alex and I respond simultaneously, struggling to process her announcement."I'm seeing someone," she repeats, as if repeating it would make us any less bewildered."When did you start dating?" I finally ask, just before Alex fires off his own barrage of questions, "Who is he? Where does he work? How did you meet? Does he have children? What's his social security number? Passport book number? Birth certificate number? Tell us, Mom!"Mom lets out a soft chuckle at Alex's protective instincts before becoming serious once more."Well, his name is Noah Matthews," she begins. "He's an English Literature teacher at New Trier Township High School. I met him a month ago when his n
Last Updated : 2023-11-14Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 75: CHARMING
Considering the circumstances, acknowledging my love for Max came easily to me. However, expressing it to him? Well, that's going to require some time. There are numerous matters we must resolve first, experiences to share, and, especially, his significant undisclosed secret. I need some courage before I can confidently speak those three cherished words to him. Until then, my actions will have to convey my feelings more effectively than words can. Nevertheless, I hope he understands, and I hope he senses just how deeply I care for him."Never mind," Max abruptly decides to dismiss his earlier question. I furrow my eyebrows."It did?""Yup," he says, planting a gentle kiss on my nose. "And for the record, right back at ya."Okay, he's definitely skilled at reading emotions. What's next? Reading my mind?"I'm pretty sure he has every part of your body figured out by now," my inner voice, Buffy, comments with a touch of humor.'Hello darkness, my old friend,' I silently sing to her. "Hav

The next couple of hours were filled with savoring Mom's incredible cooking. Alex and I might have kicked off dinner, but Mom certainly took it to the next level with her culinary skills. We all enjoyed each other's company just like any other family night. To my pleasant surprise, Noah seemed to be fitting right in, and the life stories he shared with us were just as wild as our own.Among other things, I learned that Noah had a deep passion for soul music in his younger days, to the extent that Jeff Buckley nearly made him question his own sexuality. He pursued a teaching degree at Purdue University after a soccer injury ended his dream of becoming a professional player, a topic that intrigued Alex and Isaac. He also mentioned that, in his ideal world, Kellin Quinn and Andy Black would have collaborated on an entire album by now. Apparently, his sixteen-year-old niece had once made him listen to all their songs, a clever move on her part, and he quickly reached that conclusion.We c

"So, you haven't told him yet?""Nope, and before you go all relationship guru on me again, I have my reasons.""I know," Avery deadpans, rolling her eyes but still failing to hide her soft, understanding smile. "I was just asking," she raises her hands up in defense."Mhmm, sure," I draw out, playfully pushing my best friend towards the building of her next class while I head towards mine. I only have to take one visual course for my major, so I decided Art History GC was the way to go. According to Max, the professor who teaches it is super laidback and frankly, I'll take as many easy As as I can get this semester."I'm serious," Avery chuckles, opening the door to the Music building before saying, "just remember, girl, we're all in our own time zones. Don't feel pressured by it because, when the time comes, it'll happen all on its own. Life is all about waiting for the right moment to act." I cock an eyebrow at my best friend's words. "What?" She asks, furrowing her eyebrows."Some

Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 127: THE END
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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 126: CHAPEL DOORS
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. As the agonizing distance between us gets shorter with each ascending step, I take a moment to revisit some of ou
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 125: JUST A WEDDING
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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 124: OLD HOUSE
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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 123: FIVE YEARS
~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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 122: SUITE
~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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 121: BILL
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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 120: REAL HOUSEWIVES
Later That Day"Five more minutes, I promise," I call back, securing the last bobby pin to keep my wild hair in check. 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
Thrill of the Chase CHAPTER 119: VALENTINES DAY
~Friday, February 14, 2025 - Valentine's Day in Santa BarbaraIsabellaMax and I reached Santa Barbara last night, opting to reserve a penthouse suite for a private Valentine's Day weekend. 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? Did it render you speechless with its brilliance?" He playfully raises his eyebrows."You cam
