Chapter 201

• The journey back to Volkov Group Marketing & Design was completely silent. George almost instantly fell asleep, while Maximilien and Roshene were lost in their thoughts. They didn't say a single word after leaving the restaurant. Even when the magnate stopped at a traffic light, their eyes met, but neither had anything to say.
• That encounter had stirred up the feelings that they had been trying to cope with, forget, and contain over the past few months. After seeing each other, spending time together, the thought of returning to normal in the coming days, meaning being unaware of each other, scared them, especially him. He felt like he was on the verge of giving in at any moment, forgetting the thousands of reasons why he shouldn't love her and just kissing her.
• Suddenly, it started raining heavily, which didn't help their already agitated states and hearts. Roshene leaned her head back on the seat, closed her eyes, and turned her face away. Maximilien looked at her and stared at her for several seconds. She was a divine creature, absolutely beautiful, a wonderful creation, sublime and special. He observed her lovely face, her thick, dark, curved eyelashes, her small, fine, upturned nose, and finally, her tempting lips. He felt like a desperate animal for prey, like a person trapped in the desert for days without water or food, about to die of hunger and thirst. He was hungry, hungry to kiss those lips, hungry to unite his lips with hers until she ran out of oxygen, hungry to have her in his arms again and make her his woman many times, until exhaustion, if he could ever get tired of her. He looked ahead again and focused on the highway, an accident due to distraction was not a good option, he had to remember that his little brother was also traveling with them.
