“I know. I don’t know what else to say except I am so sorry, and I will spend every day of the rest of my life making it up to you if you will let me,” I say.
“You promised you would never hurt me, and you hurt me so bad,” Max says.
“I know, but I don’t know what else to say except to tell you how sorry I am,” I say.
“I wasn’t finished,” Max says with a small smile. “You fucked up Cullen. Big time. But I think everyone deserves a second chance. But I want your word right now that you will never doubt me again. If I tell you something, you believe me, even if it sounds unlikely. And don’t ever accuse me of trying to sabotage you again.”
“You have my word,” I say. “I promise.”
“Then I guess you’re forgiven,” Max says. “Oh, on one condition. I want my job back.”
“Done,” I say laughing with the pure joy of knowing this amazing woman has found it in her heart to give me another chance.
“When I thought it was you at the door come to apologize, I already knew I would end up forgiving you, but I planned on making it a lot harder than this,” Max says with a soft laugh. “And then Ross did what he did, and I don’t know. That drama back at the office just seemed less important somehow, and us being together seemed bigger than some argument. I’m curious though. How did you finally work out I was telling the truth?”
“Part of me knew it all along,” I say. “But I convinced myself that was just wishful thinking because I didn’t want it to be true, so I ignored that voice.”
“I get that,” Max admits. “And to be honest, I can see why you believed it was me because even knowing it wasn’t me, I couldn’t think of a better explanation.”
“After I sent you home, I couldn’t focus and so I went home myself and I was thinking and it occurred to me that it was strange that at first when you started working here, we didn’t exactly like each other and yet you didn’t do anything to stab me in the back then. I asked myself why you would wait until we were together to do it and I kept coming up blank. Anyway, it finally hit me that the email Bill forwarded to me was signed off as Max and that you use Lucy on all of your work correspondence,” I say.
After I tell her this, I wonder if I should have lied and told her I just knew it in my heart, but I don’t want to lie to her, even if the truth gets me in more trouble.
Max slaps herself in the forehead.
“Oh my God of course. I didn’t even think of that myself,” she says.
“We make a right pair, don’t we?” I say.
I’m laughing but when Max looks at me and says yes, she is deadly serious and instantly I feel the mood of the room change and I feel my cock waking up. I want so badly to kiss her, but I don’t know if she’s ready for that after what happened with Ross.
“What’s wrong?” Max asks when it becomes clear to her that I’m not about to make a move on her.
“Nothing,” I say. “I just didn’t know if it was too soon after him putting his hands on you. I don’t want to like traumatize you or something.”
“You got here just in time,” Max says. “The most he managed to do was kiss my cheek where I turned my head away. I do feel kind of dirty just from being around him though. I need to shower before we do anything. Wait here?”
I nod my head and Max gets up. She heads to the door that leads to the small hallway that her bedroom and bathroom open off of and when she reaches it, she grins at me over her shoulder.
“Or don’t,” she says and winks at me and I know an invitation when I hear one.
I get up and follow her and by the time we get into the bathroom, we are both naked, a trail of our clothes leading to the shower stall. We step into it and Max turns the water on and adjusts the temperature. She stands under the flow of the water and turns her face up to the spray. I watch the water hit her skin and beads of it run down her back, over her ass cheeks and down her legs. She grabs her shower gel and soaps her skin and I watch her, my cock hard at the sight of her hands rubbing over her body. When I can’t take the sight anymore, I move closer and begin to rinse her down with my hands. She moans as I pay particular attention to her breasts and nipples, and she leans back against me as my hands work their way down her belly and then one goes between her legs.
“It’s very important this part is rinsed super thoroughly,” I say.
“Oh, I agree,” Max says as I rub my finger back and forth across her clit.
I work her and she moans and squirms against me. When she comes, she cries out and presses her ass against my hard cock, teasing me. I rub her inner thighs as she comes and when her orgasm fades away, she looks over her shoulder and grins at me.
“I think my clit is rinsed clean now, but I’m not sure about my pussy. I think you need to rinse it out with your … ahem … hose,” she says, and she grabs my cock and gives it a squeeze making it very clear what she means by my hose.
Not one to disappoint, I push her forwards, bending her over. She braces herself against the shower wall and spreads her legs. Her pussy is dripping, a mixture of the shower water and her juices, and her mound is spread open, showing the pink swollen flesh of her lips. She looks amazing and she is all mine.
I take my cock in my hand and place it against her pussy, and then I push myself inside of her. I thrust into her in hard, fast strokes that she matches, pushing herself back onto me, making each stroke seem deeper and deeper. When I’m on the verge of coming, I pull out of Max and spin her around. I grab her ass and lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my shoulders and I slip back inside of her. She leans down and kisses me deeply as I begin to move inside of her again. After a moment, she pulls her mouth from mine and gasps as we hit our stride and within seconds, we are both hitting our climax. I bury my face in between Max’s breasts as I come hard and she clings to me, her fingers digging into the backs of my shoulders as she whimpers my name.
Pleasure fills me and, in that moment, I know I have everything I have ever wanted. I hold Max a little bit tighter as my cock slips out of her and I set her back down on her feet, but I keep my arms around her, and she keeps hers around me.
“I love you Max,” I say.
