Hope
Max pulls me close, and we gaze into each other's eyes with desire, our lips almost touching, before our lips smash together, and my fingers glide through his hair, and his hands are on my waist. It’s the kind of moment fireworks go off in the background. I’m floating on thin air, as sparks fly between us. We part, I blush, and look down. Max gently takes my chin and pecks me on the lips, again and again, playfully going down my neck, and making me laugh. He lets me go.
‘Come relax and watch TV. I'm going to have a shower. Then I’ll go up the road and find some fresh clothes and anything else you need, and we can have some dinner. I’m sure you’re starving,’ he says.
I nod, and smile. Never having watched TV before Max has to show me how to use the remote, and goes to shower. There is a knock on the door. I open it to see Nathan standing there with a suitcase.
‘I have Alpha Max's suitcase. I’ll bring it in for you,’ he says, smiling. He puts the suitcase on the bed.
