“Yep, and I’m looking forward to showing herallthe other ways she can use that smart mouth.”

That shitty feeling I’d felt ever since seeing that bitch kiss Max was lifted.

“I fuckingneedyou, Amber. So much,” his voice was almost pained.

“You know it’s the same for me right,” I replied, not wanting Mia to hear me being overly gushy.

“Have you touched yourself whilst thinking about me?” Max husked and heat pooled between my legs.

“Yes,” I whispered.

“Good, you can show me tomorrow.”

“You’ve got a deal,” I said, clamping my legs together as Mia glanced over with a suspicious look. Nosy cow.

Max chuckled before saying. “I know you’re not alone and so can’t talk so I’ll let you go. I just needed to hear your voice. I’ve missed you so much.” His raw confession sent an ecstatic thrill through me but I batted it away;he misses your body Amber, not you.

“I’ll message you when I’m on my way back. Will you come to the house? Daddy’s away for the night. Maybe you could stop over?”

From his tone, he was very much up for that. “Now you’re talking.”

“Goodnight.”

“Night sexy. Oh, and Amber,” Max whispered.

“Yes,”

“Dream of me.”

I was grinning from ear to ear as I ended the call. Looking up, my eyes met Mia who was wearing a disgusted look on her face.

“What?” I said, throwing my phone on the bed.

“Thatwas tame. You could have at least gone into the other room and had some phone sex. That’s probably why he was calling,” she scoffed.

I rolled my eyes and followed my phone onto the bed. “It sounds like he’s just got back from his party. He wasn’t calling for phone sex, Mia.”

“When a man calls at this time of night it’s for one thing. Luca and I have phone sex most nights, it’s awesome.”

“Well, you can keep the details of your bean flicking session to yourself thanks,” I scoffed with a shake of my head. God, I loved her, her sense of humour was the best.

Mia then plopped down next to me, blowing her freshly painted nails, and giving me a thorough breakdown of what she and Luca got up to on the phone. Despite what I’d said.

I pretended to listen but my thoughts were elsewhere. I couldn’t wait to see Max andfeel him inside me again, those strong arms wrapped around me or his hands on my arse. Max pushed the buttons of my spanking kink and I wanted him to do so much more. I had hard limits and he hadn’t even touched the sides.

Zander Harker could no longer hurt me. He didn’t have that power anymore. That strange infatuation I’d had for him, had been eradicated by another—a man who held my entire being in his hands.

I wanted to tell him the truth but the thought of rejection was too painful.

He doesn’t love you. He’s obsessed with you. It isn’t the same thing.

And I knew I was screwed. I had fallen in love with Max Hunter. A man who had been my monster but was now the man of my dreams.

Max

I woke up with a hangover from hell. Luckily, there was a silver lining to my day. Amber was coming home. After dragging my arse out of bed, I took a piss, hit the shower, and then dressed before making myself the strongest of coffees.

Checking my emails, I replied to one from Wes who was due to return to work the following day thank fuck. He had recovered from the flu but his wife had finally given birth and I’d had to honour his paternity. The roofing works were being finished during that week on site and I needed everyone firing on all cylinders.
