Chapter 214 - Powerful Chords (2/2)
”So we will try.”
”But… Maxen?” Olivia scrunched her nose. She pushed Maxen on his shoulder with the ball of her hand but failed when he dipped his head to the side, his lips brushing on the shell of her ears.
”No buts. Let's try that thing we did last time,” Maxen reminded her of that one time he dry humped her, leaving her in exaltation of his name and him finally finding his release.
”Oh, goodness gracious. Can you not be horny all the time?”
”Can't help it when I'm with you.” Maxen grinned, followed a chuckle when Olivia rolled her eyes at him.
Pinned beneath him, Olivia could feel the ramble of Maxen's c.h.e.s.t against hers and was glad that he was genuinely happy for the first time of the day.
”Ok. Lights out. Go change so we could sleep,” Olivia urged him to which he obliged with a 'Yes, ma'am.'
Planting a kiss on her lips, Maxen then pushed himself off of her, standing at the foot of the bed.
After a few minutes, Maxen joined Olivia on the bed, scooping her in his arms.
”Never ever think of pulling something like that again on me,” he warned Olivia, pinching her nose.
”It was a last-minute idea actually. I heard you opening the door and tiptoeing so might as well give you a little shock,” Olivia explained, her head buried on his c.h.e.s.t where it was warm and comfy even with his hardened muscles.
”Hey…. Let's talk first,” she said, pinching his n.i.p.p.l.e. She knew Maxen would fall asleep as soon as he hit the sack.
True enough, Maxen was fast asleep even though his hand flew to hers, gripping it with light force to stop her from assaulting him.
”Okay, okay. I'll talk to you tomorrow then,” Olivia surrendered, and with Maxen beside her, her eyelids suddenly became heavy. Soon she, too, was drowning in a much-needed sleep.
The following day, Maxen was already in the final steps of his bath routine, foaming his face to shave a stubble that seemed to grow longer than usual after three days of not shaving.
He lifted a hand, about to swipe the blade against his skin when he felt a pair of eyes ogle him from the side. Placing the shaver on the marble vanity, a smile curved his lips as he met Olivia's groggy stare through the mirror.
Maxen shook his head. It was obvious that Olivia was still sleepy with the way she was hugging the door frame to keep her balance.
”Go back to sleep,” Maxen urged her but Olivia dragged her feet to the vanity, perching her bottoms on it.
”Nope. I'm not sleepy anymore. See,” she said, picking up the shaver and dangling it in the air. Her once groggy eyes turned sharp as an eagle as she glided the blade against Maxen's jawline.
He shouldn't let her do it, not with how drowsy she looked but he loved it when Olivia initiates to do something in his stead, so he braced both of his hands on either of Olivia's sides and dipped half of his body in a comfortable height for her to work on.
”Sooo,” Olivia trailed off, cleaning the blade before moving into an unshaven section. ”What did you guys talk about last night?”
”Hmm. There's Lance Go and his child. According to Wyatt, Lance refused to give the baby a name, so now we don't have a choice but to leave the naming under the Lees or whoever steps in to adopt the baby.”
”I have a feeling Ava would step in and take responsibility for the baby. She's always been close with Selena anyway. Ho-ho. I can hear Ollie screaming from here,” Olivia exaggerated and a chuckle escaped her lips as she tipped Maxen's face to the side to the opposite side to work on it.
”And…”
”And?” Olivia raised a brow when Maxen paused and his hesitation over whether or not he would give her a heads-up of his plan or was it already written all over his face.
