MaxMc: Can you still taste me, baby? You swallowed so good. Such a good girl.
Zoe: I can still taste you, Max. I want to make you feel that good again.
MaxMc: Thinking about you on your knees, taking me deep, makes me so fucking hard. I want to feel your mouth all over me, Zoe. Tell me you’re touching yourself while thinking about my cock—next time, I’ll be the one eating you for dinner, baby.
Zoe: Umm . . . Lora is here. Let’s chat later.
Chapter Fourteen
Zoe
MaxMc: I can’t believe you chose San Diego over me. After everything I did foryou . . . I’m shocked.
Zoe: I didn’t choose. I was invited and couldn’t say no. Lily insisted, since I have Monday off. And if you recall, you’ve been choosing work over me all week.
MaxMc: You have Monday off because you were going to Vermont with me—for the weekend. I thought you said my mouth was something you could get used to. I promised to use it all weekend long.
Zoe: You’re the one who left me hanging last night, after you promised to play with my scarves.
MaxMc: I did apologize for not being able to see you but Caleb and I are trying to cover for Lee and Ethan. One is on his honeymoon period and the other is organizing his wedding. My sister is becoming a little Bridezilla and you left me for her.
Zoe: She’s not Bridezilla and you need to understand that I couldn’t say no to Lily and Audrey. I didn’t have any excuse to stay in Boston.
MaxMc: You could’ve said a friend invited you somewhere.
Zoe: Which friend? And I can’t say it’s you, remember? This new arrangement is secret.
MaxMc: Fine.
Zoe: That means we have to pretend we barely like each other when we’re together.
MaxMc: More rules?
Zoe: Yep, more rules.
MaxMc: You’re killing me, woman.
Zoe: (grin emoji)
MaxMc: There’s nothing to be proud of. You’re pushing my hard limit too far.
Zoe: You were a Navy SEAL. Aren’t you supposed to be by the book?
MaxMc: Only when it matters or puts people in danger.
Zoe: My rules matter.
MaxMc: Pretending I can’t stand you doesn’t matter to me.
Zoe: Well it does to me. If Mom knows what we’re doing, she’s going to call you rebound guy and then she’ll start looking for another blind date for me because maybe he’s marriage material. I can’t deal with that right now.
MaxMc: How is she going to know?
Zoe: I don’t know. Your circle of friends is pretty chatty. One person talks and suddenly the entire country knows what’s happening.
MaxMc: You’re exaggerating.
Zoe: Take Audrey’s engagement.
