We drank, talked, and laughed as we ate dinner, and I couldn’t have been more pleased at how well Max got along with my friends. I had visions of a future where we’d be sitting here with Kara and Molly and their boyfriends, laughing and having a good time. I had to have a little hope that when all was said and done at the end of three months, Max would love me enough to want to keep me in his life. After a great dinner and conversation, we dropped the girls back at my apartment, and I went home with Max, where our first round of sex took place in the kitchen because we couldn’t make it to the bedroom fast enough.

Chapter Twelve

“Good morning,”Max whispered as he kissed the side of my head.

My hand ran down the front of his torso as I curled up closer to him, not wanting to leave his bed or his side. Our night of passion topped it all, and my body was still reeling in the effects of the things he did to me.

“Do you have to go to work?”

“Unfortunately, I do. I have a meeting first thing. You don’t have classes today, so what are your plans?” His finger made tiny circles around my shoulder, sending me into a frenzy.

“I’m going to show the girls around New York and then go shopping. I need to get a dress for our engagement party tomorrow.”

“I’ll give Melanie a call over at Bergdorf’s and tell her to expect you. Put whatever you find on my account, and don’t be shy about it. Understand me?”

I looked up at him with a smile as I traced the outline of his lips. “Yes. I’ll go see Melanie at Bergdorf’s.”

“Good. Now let me have that pussy before I get ready for work.” He rolled over and dipped his fingers inside me, ensuringthat I was ready for him. And I was. I was always ready when he was around.

“You must be Emma,”the tall redhead spoke. “Max described you to a tee.”

“And you must be Melanie.”

“If you ladies would like to come with me, I’ve pulled some dresses for you all to try on.”

“Us?” Kara asked in shock.

“Yes. Max said the three of you will be needing dresses for an event tomorrow.”

Molly grabbed my arm. “He’s buying us dresses too?”

“I guess so.”

“I think I’m officially in love with him,” Kara swooned.

I put up the hand with my engagement ring on it. “Back off, bitches. He’s mine.” I laughed.

I tried on the first couple of dresses and sent a picture to Max, asking what he thought.

“What do you think of this one?”

“I’m not sure. Why don’t you step outside the dressing room and show me.”

My belly fluttered, thinking he was right outside the dressing room. I pulled back the curtain and stepped out, only to find Max staring at me in the chair.

“What are you doing here? I thought you had to work?”

“I had a few moments to spare, so I thought I’d come here and see what you girls were up to.”

“Well?” I asked as I did a little spin.

“It looks great on you, but I don’t think it’s the right dress for the party.”

I walked back into the dressing room, slipped into a long, off-white silk strapless gown embellished with beads around the waistline, and instantly knew it was the one. I smiled before stepping out and showing Max.

“Wow. You look sexy as fuck in that dress.” He smiled.

Molly and Kara took one look at me, and their mouths dropped. “That’s the one, Emma.”
