Chapter Ten

Max’s Magic Rule #11:

Perfect the art of looking happy even when you’re miserable.

By the time Max pulled up in front of Grace’s hotel, he had less than fifteen minutes to get to the theater and prep before the show. It was probably for the best, anyway. Grace was silently staring out the passenger window, just as she had been doing for the last half of their drive. Granted, she’d done it while he’d been holding her hand—mainly because every time she tried to pull away, he refused to let her—but despite allowing that physical closeness, she was freaked out and scrambling to reinforce all the walls he’d managed to partially break down.

Partially, he thought, because he hadn’t even begun to break down Grace’s walls or see all of her.

Hell, this morning he didn’t have a clue he was going to see her, yet since then she’d pole- and lap-danced for him, dry humped him, given him a blow job, touched herself in front of him, and let him go down on her until she came. All that from and with the woman who’d not only never had an orgasm with a man before, but proclaimed sex wasn’t the be-all-end-all—and was determined to devote all her future time and energy toward having a baby rather than finding a man who could satisfy her sexually, emotionally, romantically and in every other way that counted.

So now what?

Other than what he’d already told her, he had no clue. Other than intending to spend more time with her—making her come every way there was, and maybe even some ways that hadn’t been thought of yet—Max wasn’t sure what role he was going to be playing in Grace’s life.

But he knew one thing.

If he had anything to say about it, he was damn well going to have a bigger role in her life than her best friend’s brother-in-law.

He wasn’t kidding himself. What they had right now—the passion and intoxication he felt just being with her—that wasn’t going to last. Their intense sexual connection was going to burn out just like it had with every other woman he’d been with. But he liked and respected her. When this week was over, he didn’t want to go back to being strangers who saw each other a couple of times a year then made polite small talk. He wanted a relationship with her, even if that relationship was friendship. It worked with Melina before she married Rhys. It could work with Grace, too.

She’d have been his friend a long time ago if he hadn’t been so damn determined to stay away from her. And as her friend, he was more determined than ever to make her see how Operation Baby was the coward’s way out.

If he failed? If he had to watch Grace grow plump with someone else’s baby, and know that man was going to spend the next several decades sharing beautiful moments with her? He didn’t want to think about that.

Because thinking about it pissed him off.
