Chapter 64 - Glorious Sweetness (2/2)

Maxen held her hand on his t.h.i.g.h hostage, gently squeezing it when she reminded him of what he had to give up just so he could have access at the Lin's ancestral home. ”You don't have to take it out on me when all I ever wanted was to be there for you, beside you, even in the most simple thing as a doctor's appointment.”

”You could have asked me first. Big or small decisions, you should at all times ask me first. You even went as far as gifting Flame's baby to Finn. Who's Flame anyway? Is she your horse? Tiger? Some exotic animal?”

”She's my black beauty.” Maxen ruefully smiled. ”And it took us years to find the perfect match for her. So laugh at me all you want for gifting a three year old a million dollar horse so I could stay beside you and keep you company.”

He pinched her cute nose just because he could not keep his hands off her which Olivia swatted, crinkling her nose after.

”I'm not sure if Finn will like a pony though. Maybe Ava would, but Finn? He's more into small cuddly animals. I brought him once to a petting zoo and he ran as fast as he could from the stables.” She beamed at the memory of Finn running amok in the zoo.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was speaking, Maxen tucked the center console between them, removing the hindrance that kept him from coming closer to her. He pulled and lifted her legs over his l.a.p so she could stretch it to relieve her knees from the long journey.

”I think he would learn to love it as he grows older.” Maxen's voice crooned her. It was full of hope and positivity that a vision of them, playing with a bigger horse and an older version of Finn flashed in her mind too.

”That will take years before it happens… or not.” She scoffed at him but a small smile escaped her lips that the frown on her face was replaced by it.

After what felt like forever since their petty argument, Maxen loosened up too after seeing her smile albeit short and fleeting. It boosted his confidence and he was partly relieved that at least they were back in their comfortable element, talking and not arguing.

Out of nowhere, Olivia felt his hand crept up on her back, pulling her closer and pinning her to Maxen's body.

Totally caught off guard, Olivia grabbed Maxen's tie as he dipped his head and robbed a kiss on her lips.

Soft. Warm. Brief.

Too brief that he left her wanting for more when he pulled back.

How could she be that weak? It was just a kiss. It should not crack down her defenses but it did because she ached for more.

So she did.

Hard. Overpowering.

She bit his lips too before opening her mouth to grant him access to it.

Carried away, Maxen whisked her off her seat and straddled her on his l.a.p, cinching her waist with his tight grip as he swept his tongue inside her in circles, playing swords with her tongue, tasting all her glorious sweetness.
