Vivian POV
For thirty minutes I laid on the bed, staring at Max’s name heavily imprinted on my intimate area. This could absolutely alter my life.
How could he even do a thing like this and worse more, he destroyed the only cleaner that could erase it right in front of me.
The door of the bathroom opened and Max came out, wrapping a towel around his torso, droplets of water dripping down his body and making him look more enticing. I darted my eyes to another corner in the room.
I should be angry, raging and hateful towards him but with each passing seconds I spend my time with him, it seems like he keeps shredding through the brick walls I’ve built around my heart, a wall I was determined to make impenetrable yet Max was effortlessly pulling it down and making my heart beat for him just like the first time I met him.
“You haven’t gone to sleep yet? Want some cuddling?” He asked, drawing my attention as he winked at me in a sexy stare.
Shit! I cursed myself in a low mutter for the way my heart beat skipped at just a wink from him.
Oh God! Only if this one month stay could elapse quickly, I can’t imagine myself falling head over heels for Max again, he clearly wants Ruth and resorted to divorcing me.
I instantly turned to face the other side of the bed, my thoughts racing with different things all together. My mind reeled back to my mother.
Was she okay? She must be looking for me by now. I shut my eyes, feeling the familiar longing of seeing my mother weighed heavily in my heart.
” You’ll go see your Mom tommorow Vivian” Max instantly blurted, coincidental as if he had read my mind that moment. I turned back to face him, my resting on his figure that rested lazily on the wall.
“You mean it?” I asked, suspicion evident in my tone. Max wasn’t someone to give something so freely without asking for anything in return, there must definitely be a price to pay.
“Yes but one condition” He added.
Yes! I knew it! Max wouldn’t just say that without having anything in return, he was pretty much too smart.
I swallowed hard, my chest heaving and tightening in a not as I felt a bit anxious at the request he would demand from me this time around ” And what is that?” I managed to ask after several minutes of silent contemplation within me.
“After your stay of one month here elapses, we’ll go back and you’ll stay with me for another month” He revealed and i immediately sprang up, not believing what he had just said with sheer nonchalance and indifference.
“Have my Mom turned into a tool for your seamless transaction of deals huh? Max are you using my Mom to blackmail me?” I snapped, yelling heavily and not caring if my voice resounded beyond the door outside.
I was fed up with this irritating act of his! Does he think he could use me like he pleases with my mother on the line?
” I didn’t say any of that Vivian, you’re getting it all wrong__”
“I am getting nothing wrong at this point Max! Tell me! No, common tell me? Explain what the Condition means if not everything I had just stated huh? You think I don’t know of your usual hypocritical character? Think you could use that on me this time around?” I snapped, letting the words escape freely from my mouth, not realizing my own words.
“Hypocritical character?” He repeated with a disbelief and shocked expression on his face. “What do you mean by I’m hypocritical, my usual hypocritical character? Tell me, what part of our relationship had I been hypocritical?” He asked but I was already more than angry to listen to his logics at the moment.
“I hate you the more you do that Max and there will be nothing left to regret once my stay here elapses” I glared at him with a murderous intent.
“You think I’m being selfish right? You think I’m doing all these because it’s fun Vivian or perhaps I want to punish you?” He said as he laid off from the wall and strode towards where I laid. He snuck up beside and I immediately wanted to get off the bed but he pulled me back, pinning down and sideways on the bed that my back was turned against him, pressing hardly on his hard chest.
“Let me be Max!” I snapped as I tried to wriggle relentlessly against his hold but his grip became even firmer, giving no room for even the slightest of movement from me.
” You can call me whatever you think I am Vivian, but just bear in mind that you started all these in the first place. Maybe if you had been invisible from the prying eyes of my father we wouldn’t be in this mess right now together and if you’re thinking of opting out at this point, then drop it because I won’t let you do that” He whispered in a husk, sending tingles down my body and making my stomach flip multiple times.
I was supposed to be irritated at those words but the way he had said them with that possessive aura of his had drew me in totally into heeding to my lustful subconscious mind.
‘You like it, don’t deny it’ The sheer truth resounded in my head but I waved it off.
Perhaps, I might be attracted to Max for his looks but talking about loving him again was something I dreaded even my own heart to spill yet they knew the truth.
” Let’s make this a long night Vivian. Sleep to our fill with my dick buried inside you till morning. I want you to reek of my cum when you wake up, a reminder that you’re mine and mine alone!” He bellowed, tightening and pulling me even more closer to his body, his heat rubbing my bare back” The moment any male trespasses that region where I tattooed my name on you, I will cut them open, limb by limb”
