CHAPTER 19

MAX

I walked back to my office minutes after I went to help with the rush. I figured I probably shouldn’t be walking around my bar with a hard-on for God and everybody to see. I think spending some time in the office with Riley will help me to chill the fuck out. That girl is more intoxicating than anything or anyone else I had ever encountered, and believe me there isn’t much I haven’t experienced.

The way she bit her bottom lip like she knew what was coming. How she tangled her fingers in my hair and how she felt wrapped around me while I held her against that wall. I don’t think I’ll ever look at another woman the way I look at her.

My Sunshine.

I slip out of the office long enough to grab myself a drink and notice her talking to Tucker at the bar. I like that they get along so well. They are annoying when together sometimes but in the best way. I like the idea that my best friend likes her. He has started coming to the gym with us more often and the two of them bicker like siblings. I go back to the office quickly, not wanting to leave Riley alone much longer. I bring her with me to the bar more often than not, but I especially want her here tonight knowing there will be fireworks going off all night, I know she will be stressed.

The two of us always stick together during stressful events, and I know that will never change, no matter what else in my life does. Riley is my partner and she’ll be with me till the end. Once the bar closed, I made my way back out of the office.

Ruby went home as soon as she finished up her part of closing, which consists of register count and bottle check. Heather and Marco left after bussing the tables in the dining room, and the kitchen staff is finishing up with the dishes now. Shane is wiping down the bar when I walk out of the office and make my way over to her.

“Hey there,” I say as I lean against the wall.

“Hi.” She smiles at me, already turning that perfect shade of pink.

“I need to talk to you for a minute,”

“Okay, what’s up?” She lays the towel down on the bar and turns to face me.

“We aren’t going to be training this week,” I say, watching as confusion fills her face.

“Okayyy, how come?” She gives me a puzzled look.

“I have to go to Texas for the week.”

“Texas?” she repeats back to me.

“Yeah, I have to check on some of my rental properties,” I explain.

“You have rental properties?” I laugh at her remark. She’s so full of questions, as always. Her nose scrunches up in confusion and I fucking love it.

“I’m full of surprises, Sunshine. Yes, I have a few rental properties and the ones in Texas need some attention, so I had planned to go this week to make sure everything is alright.
