"Well, thank you, baby," he sighs, sliding to sit in the chair in front of the desk. Has he always been this lightheaded after getting head while standing?

"Max, I... thank you."

His heart races as he sees her eyes staring wide. It feels like what she said isn't what she meant to say. Was she just about to tell him she loves him? The moment she tells him, he plans to run and tell everyone how he feels about her. But he knows in this moment that she has to be the one to say it first. He just has to try not to explode while he waits.

"I'd do anything for you. I mean that with all my heart."

"Max Parks, you really know how to turn a girl on, don't you?"

Standing, Daphne leans over to kiss him, tugging at her shirt until it comes off while he kicks off his books and slides his jeans all the way off his legs.

"There's only one woman I want to turn on."

"You're doing a hell of a job," she says and climbs onto his lap.

As much as Max wants to taste her, to rub his tongue ring over her clit the way she loves, he can't deny how good her pussy feels as she slides onto him, her panties pushed to the side, her skirt still around her waist.

"You're perfect," he whispers in her ear while her hips grind against him, her clit rubbing against his piercing. "I meant what I said, Daph."

Her pants make him smile, and she leans back to look into his eyes while never stopping her rhythm and seeking her pleasure. "What did you say?"

"I plan to keep us solid. The chance of me letting you go is about as good of a chance as me ever driving a Prius."

"God, when you talk like that," she murmurs, her lips on his as her muscles tighten around him, wrapping him in a death grip.

God, I love you.

Chapter Thirty-Two

Summerville

Lex

Bodie and Jolie walk into the house, and Lex smiles at them. "Are you sure you two don't mind babysitting while Colt and I go out tonight?"

"Bodie!" Noah cries and runs to him, jumping into his arms.

Ever since Bodie officially moved in with Jolie, Noah's been missing him. He calls him almost every night, and he asks Bodie if he's ever going to move back in with them. It's both adorable but heartbreaking to see the friendship between the two.

"Yeah, I think we're cool," Bodie says with a smirk. "Nerf gun fight?"

"You're on!"

"Jolie!" Calla calls and walks out to the brunette smiling as she bends down to pick her up.

Jolie rubs her nose against Calla's, which has become her new thing, and she smirks. "Hey, Princess."

"Princess!"

"I think they're in good hands," Colt says, his arms wrapping around Lex when a knock comes from the front door. "Who the hell could that be?"

Lex shrugs as Colt walks to open it, and Venom, standing on the other side, surprises them all. "Uh, hey, Colt."

"Venom. Is something wrong?" Colt asks.

He swallows and shakes his head. "I, uh, I was hoping to talk to Lex for a moment."

A knowing look appears on her husband's face as he turns to look at her. "I knew you'd take in another stray."
