That thought started burrowing its way into his brain, and he needed to get it out of there.He rolled on a condom and slammed into her from behind.
She shot forward, the top of her head hitting the headboard.
“Shit, I’m sorry,” he said.
“No, no, it’s fine.Barely felt it.Keep going.”Her words came out in a rush.
He pushed inside her, again and again, with everything he had.
“Adrian…Adrian…”
He’d seen her give interviews.She was so articulate then, but now she was a sobbing mess on his bed, and that was perfect and lovely, and no one could take this moment away from him.
“That’s right, baby,” he murmured, slipping his fingers underneath her body so he could touch her clit, get her juices on his fingers again.
She shuddered beneath him, losing control, and that was it…he was a goner.
Afterward, she headed to the shower, and he put on some clothes and started making coffee.Then he took out some cereal, yogurt, soy milk, and blueberries.
When she skipped into the kitchen, she was wearing his shirt, and he did a double take.
“That’s the shirt I was wearing when I spilled bubble tea on you,” he said.
“Yep.I had it in my purse.I’d meant to return it to you yesterday, but…” She shrugged.
How did she make a simple action like a shrug so gorgeous?
And as he saw her, standing there in his kitchen, wearing his shirt, he found himself…overcome.
This wasn’t a little crush, like he’d had as a kid.No, he was completely overcome with his desire to both protect Maddie and give her the world.Just seeing her in his kitchen, smiling as she prepared her coffee the way she liked it…
“You okay?”she asked.“Did I wear you out?”She poked his chest, then sat down and helped herself to the yogurt, sprinkling some of the blueberries he’d left in the colander on top.
“I’ll be fine to go again in five minutes.”He winked at her, struggling to stay calm.
She laughed.“Well, I might need a bit longer than that.”
Maddie fucking Ng was sitting here in his kitchen, eating breakfast and drinking coffee like it was the most natural thing in the world, and he was falling in love with her.
This was not what he’d intended.
It was too overwhelming to think about now.He’d try to push it aside and enjoy their morning together, as best he could.After all the ugly things she’d read, she deserved that much.
And then he’d have to figure out whether he could ever reveal his feelings.
She’d assured him that there was nothing between her and Ethan Park, and he trusted her.It wasn’t about Ethan; it was about Adrian, spending time with a woman who was so far out of league, it was comical.Janine would laugh at the very idea.
A little fling was one thing—but something more?
Chapter 13
@sophie_tjoe: It feels like everyone is talking about Maxwell Kim on Chu’s Restaurant, but I’m not sure why Mike doesn’t get more love?I think he’s cute!And he’s definitely a more nuanced character than Max.
@sophie_tjoe: He’s hardworking, loyal, often the family peacemaker.Sure, he has some silly ideas, but he’s not afraid to try new things, not afraid to fail.I hope he gets a romance…
“Holdup,”Jensaidto Maddie after she ordered her drink.“Did you just ask for a decaf latte?Decaf?”
“Yep!”Maddie said cheerfully.
