Desiree bit her lower lip as she contemplated his words. Starring into his eyes, she saw he meant every word he said.
She reached up, gripping the back of his neck and pulled his face towards hers and she sealed her lips to his. She was already addicted to kissing him.
“I’d like to see where this…us can go.”
“Thank fucking Jesus!” Max huffed on a laugh.
“Dude, you better not be in there trying to fuck my sister while she’s injured.” Teddy banged loudly on the bedroom door.
Desiree couldn’t help the smirk that came to her lips as she winked at Max. The fun she was about to have at Max’s expense was going to be so worth it.
“Oh God…Max! Yes…yes…You’re a best…oh God…right there. Yes…yes…yes.”
Chapter
Twelve
Max dropped his pen on his desk and rubbed his face with his hands. Luckily no more attempts on Desiree have happened in the last few weeks.
For the last couple of weeks, he’d spent the evening with Desiree. They would go out to eat, talk for hours, curl up and watch the television together, and just be together.
They would kiss, fool around, talk some more, and just take things slow. He was taking things at Desiree’s pace, but fuck it was killing him taking things at this pace.
He wanted her so badly that he was afraid that when they finally did make it that far, he would embarrass himself. His hand was starting to revolt and act like it had a restraining order on his ass.
Things were going great, yet he felt like there was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. He felt like they were both walking a thin line waiting for that explosion to happen.
They would check her motorcycle and her truck every single day to make sure the brake lines were not messed with and no explosives were attached to them. Someone was always doing the perimeter of the property while he stayed inside with her.
He was glad her brothers were handling their dating better than he’d anticipated. He’d been prepared for the death glares, the interrogations, and the harassment, even from his own brother.
“I swear if you’re sitting here thinking of banging my sister, I’m kicking your ass.”
“I wasn’t, but thanks for putting the visuals in my head now.”
“Asshole!” Teddy threw a napkin at Max.
“Why are you harassing me in my office during lunch?”
“Cause you look like you were pouting when I walked in.” Teddy smirked at him.
“Smart ass. What do you want?” Max sighed heavily as he leaned back into his chair.
“Jose and your brother are on the way here to meet with us. This was the most secure location I could think of. They are at the gate house now getting a visitors pass for the detective handling Desiree’s case.”
Max leaned forward and placed his elbows on the desk and stared at Teddy. There was something he wasn’t saying.
“Spit it out already.”
“I don’t know much. I know Jose and Tiny don’t like the detective. Jose says the detective wanted to question you. She thinks you have something to do with the accidents happening to Desiree.” Teddy cringed as he said the words. “Just so you know, Jose already told her she was barking up the wrong tree and that all of us knew you’d never hurt Desiree.”
“Did your brother say why she thinks this?” Max asked calmly.
“Timing is all she says when he asked. Jose doesn’t care for her.”
“He tell you who this detective is?” Max wondered as his office door opened.
Max looked over at his office door and rolled his eyes. Of all the fucking people in the world, it would be this bitch.
