Chapter 9

The rest of the week passed by relatively drama-free, with the exception of Max studying me critically each time I climbed into his SUV anyway. By Wednesday, unease had crept in and I could tell Max meant his threat. He would not hesitate to turn Lucinda in. We discussed it endlessly throughout the week and I tried to get him to see my side, but he was convinced that if we were taken away, a judge would keep Kevin and me together. I knew it was highly unlikely, but Max remained optimistic.

Scared of giving Max the incentive he needed, I catered to Lucinda’s every whim throughout the week. She drank up my attention, creating relative harmony throughout the trailer. By the time Max picked me up for the Halloween dance, I was confident with my ability to keep the peace.

Max knocked on the door at precisely six p.m. on Saturday evening. His eyes brightened when he saw me.

“You look beautiful,” he said as he helped me into the vehicle.

“Thanks, even with this?” I asked, pointing to the somewhat faded black eye I was still sporting.

“Well, I'd prefer that you weren’t someone's punching bag, but it doesn’t take away from how nice you look,” he said, looking at me appraisingly. “I like this too,” he added, twirling a small lock of hair that had escaped my French braid.

“Thanks,” I said shyly. “Lucinda was in a good mood so she fixed it for me,” I added, trying to come up with something to say.

His face took on a pinched look at my words and he dropped his hand.

I grimaced at my mistake. Max hated it when I mentioned Lucinda since he found out she liked to take her frustration out on me. “You look pretty snazzy too,” I said, trying to change the subject.

He took my hint and smiled at me. “In this old thing?” he asked, indicating the tailored black suit that fit him to a tee.

“Old, huh? I'm sure.” I said, raising my eyebrows.

He laughed. “After the countless fittings my mom made me suffer through, believe me, I feel like I know this suit better than my own skin.”

“Well, kudos to your mom because it looks quite yummy on you,” I said brazenly.

“Yummy? You think I look yummy?” he asked suggestively, placing a warm hand on my knee.

“Well, it’s the first word that comes to mind,” I laughed, blushing slightly as I looked down at the fingers massaging my leg.

My gaze left his hand when I felt the vehicle abruptly turn off the road.

“Are we here?” I asked confused as he pulled the vehicle into a narrow opening that looked like it had been notched out of the forest as an afterthought.

Max unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to face me. “Yummy?” he asked again, making me giggle when I realized why he had pulled over.

“Um, you could say that,” I said just before his lips claimed mine. I shivered in anticipation as he deepened the kiss and explored my mouth with abandon.
