He steps closer, his eyes locked on my lips.
“Forget, you say?”
“Yes.” My voice is now breathless.
“Why? Did you not like what you saw?”
Oh! He has no fucking idea the can of worms he just unleashed. He has no idea how much I fucking enjoyed it.
“That’s not it.”
“Then what is it?”
“We have crossed lines, Max. I was being very unprofessional.”
The air is thick with anticipation as he looks at me with a gaze that seems to say everything and nothing at the same time.
Fuck!
He moves closer to me, and I feel my heart rate increase. His hand brushes against mine, sending a jolt of electricity through my body.
“I like you unprofessional, Maggie.”
I take a deep breath and close my eyes, bracing myself for what’s to come.
His lips press gently against mine, and I feel a rush of warmth and pleasure course through me. It’s as though we’ve been building up to this moment for weeks, and now that it’s finally here, everything else falls away.
We kiss, soft and slow at first, but soon our passion grows, and I find myself lost in the moment. I run my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer, and he responds by deepening the kiss.
It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, and I know that I never want it to end. In this moment, I am lost in him, lost in the sensation of our lips meeting, lost in the feeling of being wanted and desired.
As we finally pull away, gasping for breath, I know that this is only the beginning.
But as I open my eyes, reality hits me like a ton of bricks. What am I doing? This could get complicated. I can’t risk losing my job or ruining my reputation that I am trying to build at the temp agency.
I have the bakery to think about. My rent. My future.
But as he looks at me with a mixture of concern and desire, I know that I can’t ignore what just happened. I take a deep breath and speak, my voice trembling slightly.
“I... I don’t know what to do.”
He nods slowly, his eyes never leaving mine. “I understand.”
My heart races at his words and I can feel the tension between us growing.
“We shouldn’t have done that.”
His eyes immediately lock with mine.
“Maggie-”
The air is heavy with unspoken thoughts and desires.
“I have to go.”
Before he can say anything, I turn around and run out of his room.
Without a second glance, I leave him standing there.
