Chapter Nineteen

When was the last day Max had taken off work? Sylvie could probably tell him. But he didn’t want to see or hear from anyone today but Lana. As if Bennett Security didn’t even exist, and she was the only other being in their tiny, perfect universe.

They had coffee and breakfast. Lana insisted on eating leftover lasagna, which Max thought was both hilarious and ridiculous. He made himself an omelet and would’ve made her one, too. But she claimed that his spinach lasagna was great cold. So, he left her to it.

They were more than a little sweaty and sticky, overdue for a shower. They got each other off again under the hot water. Her hands were like magic on his dick. He hadn’t given and received this many orgasms in close succession since… God, he had no clue. Since his twenties? With a soldier he’d met on base. She’d been a fan of no-strings sex, too, and she’d had some major stamina.

But Lana was proving she could hold her own in the bedroom. Or the shower. And later, every other room in his apartment, if Max got his way.

One night down, he found himself thinking as they toweled off. Two more to go. Then he cursed himself. His rule of three was dead. He didn’t have an arbitrary limit with Lana, not anymore. But that habitual thinking was proving harder to break than he’d expected.

They both had to go back to work tomorrow, and he had no idea where this—whatever it was—would go, anyway. But he vowed to have the same philosophy he’d had last night: he would get as much out of this time with Lana as he could and make their happiness last as long as possible. Even if it couldn’t last forever.

“Were you serious about walking on the beach?” Lana asked after they were dressed.

“Absolutely.” Max didn’t usually spend time taking beachside strolls, but it seemed like the kind of thing people did to relax. It was romantic, wasn’t it? There had to be a reason that he saw so many couples walking hand in hand from his rooftop.

Jeez, he was becoming a softy. He’d never spent time picturing romantic dates before. But Lana was bringing out new sides of him.

“We should put on bathing suits,” he said. “We’ll go swimming. Grab some lunch later.” Max doubted the stalker would be on their trail, but in any case, he would be near Lana the whole time. There was absolutely no danger.

She was nodding, though she still looked skeptical. “Okay, that sounds nice. But I don’t have a bathing suit here. All I’ve got are work clothes and pajamas.”

“Then we’ll go shopping.”

Max went to his closet to find his own swim trunks, which had to be around here somewhere. He had a membership at a fancy athletic club with a pool, and sometimes went there when he was bored with his usual workout.

“Who are you? What did you do with the real Max Bennett?”

He looked back over his shoulder, grinning at her.
