Chapter 120: Kiss on lips
Diana looked at his hand confusingly and after hesitating for a moment, she stepped towards him.
He grabbed her hand, his long fingers curling around hers as he gently tugged her closer.
Maxim led her to the couch and when she sat, he knelt in front of her, ’’Just sit here...’’ Maxim let go of her hand and placed his palm on her knee as he rubbed it gently, ’’Let me get you the things you need,’’ his voice almost sounded like he was coaxing a baby and it amused her.
In the end, she shook her head, ’’It’s way past lunchtime and I have already troubled you enough. I will head over there. Just give me a moment to get changed. Have lunch and keep an eye on Angel. I will be back in two,’’ Luckily, her first day was stain-free usually.
’’To hell with food,’’ his palm which was initially rubbing her knee squeezed it and his eyes narrowed dangerously, ’’Do you want me to lay it out word by word on a page?"
Heat rose to her cheeks when his calloused palm squeezed her knee. She could feel the roughness of that graze through the thin fabric of her dress, ’’What?" she mouthed.
’’That I would choose you over things that are absolutely essential for surviving,’’ his finger tapped on her knee and he watched as her eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights, her face flushing, ’’I think we don’t need the written piece now. In case you forget it, ask me to give you written evidence of the things I would give up on for you.’’
Getting Maxim to speak so many words was already kind of an achievement worth celebrating but she was not focused on that.
Not when his words threw straight arrows to her chest. She wanted to clutch her beating organ so that it would not feel like the tiny thing was playing football inside her body.
Diana nodded stiffly.
’’Good girl,’’ he said and pushed himself to his feet.
