Ella laughed. “You may as well just say your two sisters.”
Sophie frowned at Ella’s words and looked at Max’s face. There was an evil glint in his eye.
“I don’t know if that’s such a good thing to say.” He winked at Sophie and turned around. “Let me go and finish up some work and we can head out after lunch.”
“Yay.” Ella danced around and ran to her closet. “Okay, I need to choose an outfit. Want to help me Sophie?”
“No, I think I’ll go and see if Max needs any help.”
“What, he has you working already?”
“No, but I figure I may as well get started now before he changes his mind.”
“Oh Sophie. You are a workaholic.” Ella laughed and turned back to her clothes. “See you later. Don’t forget to wear a swimsuit, we can have a swim in the lake.”
“Won’t it be cold?”
“Don’t be a baby it’ll be fine.”
“Okay Ella. See you in a bit.” Sophie walked out of the room and smiled to herself. She was excited to spend the afternoon with Maxwell and she was hopeful that she could try and find out some more information about his past.
Chapter 7
Sophie stood outside of Max’s office and counted to three before she knocked. She didn’t want to seem too eager partially because she wasn’t sure how he would react and partially because her inner conscious was telling her to run away as quickly as she could.
“Come in?”
“Hey Max, I was wondering if you needed any help?” She looked at him cheerfully, unsure if he would be happy to see her or not.
“Really?” He looked at her in surprise.
“Yes. I know I don’t officially start until next week but I would love to help out now if I could.”
“Actually that would be great.” He beamed at her and she felt her heart flutter. “Joseph is still coming over this afternoon. He’s going to go on the boat with us and wants to talk business afterwards. So I need to make a couple of changes to the contract now before we leave.”
“Oh ok. How can I help?”
“I want to read the contract and I’ll tell you the changes to make in the open document ok? You can use this laptop.” He pointed to a second closed laptop on his desk.
“Okay, sure.” She sat down eagerly and reached over for the laptop to turn it on. “Oh what’s the password?” She asked him as she was stopped from going any further.
He frowned at her and reached for the laptop. “Oh, I can put it in.”
“Don’t you trust me?” She looked at him with a sad face. “I’m not going to steal any corporate secrets.”
“No, I know, it’s not that.” He sighed and let go of the laptop. “Sophie.”
“Yes?”
“That’s the password.” He sighed. “Sophie.”
“Sophie as in me?” She looked at him in surprise as her heart pounded away.
“Yes. But it wasn’t chosen because of you. I mean, Ella was talking about you the day I was setting it up and I thought it would make an easy password to remember. You know?”
“Yeah sure.” She smiled shyly at him and wondered what it meant. He had used her name as his laptop password, a laptop he had had for at least a couple of years.
“Open word and open the file called “Soundgarden Contract.”
“Okay.” Her fingers moved nimbly across the keyboard, she realized that she was not going to be getting any answers right now.
“Okay, we are starting at section A, I want to include a few more names as guarantors to the loan.”
“Okay.” She typed away and they worked in solidarity for the next two hours with their minds on nothing but work. Sophie was justifying a paragraph and frowning because Word didn’t want to cooperate with her when she heard Maxwell laughing.
“What’s so funny?” She looked up with him and brushed her hair out of her eyes.
“You.” He smiled at her with mirth in his eyes. “Who would have thought you’d turn out to be such a good assistant?”
“Aren’t you glad you hired me now?” She grinned at him.
“Yes. Yes I am.” His eyes took in her heaving bosom barely contained by her tank top and he licked his lips. “I think it was a very good decision.”
Sophie felt her skin starting to warm and her stomach started doing flip-flops. “I’m glad as well.”
“Why are you glad Sophie?”
“Because I get to work with you.” She licked her lips as she studied his face. He had a manly square face, his dark hair was still wet from his shower and his eyes bore into her, the brilliant blueness reminding her of the night sky. “You know your eyes are soo many different kinds of blue.” She mumbled to him.
“Really?” He stared into her eyes. “Did you know that you have enchanting eyes like a cat? They change from green to brown and back again but they never seem to be quite the same color.”
“Oh.” She gazed at him breathless.
“Your eyes remind me of sunny hills and the morning dew on the grass. They remind me of hot chocolate on a hot night. They remind me of magic.”
“Magic?” She was caught up in his words.
“The magic of another day. The magic of believing and of trust.” He leaned into her. “When I gaze into your eyes, I feel like another person.”
They stared into each other’s eyes for the next few minutes. Each hoping to see the answer to an unasked question; to see the salvation they both sought. Sophie felt like she was going to drown; her throat choked up and she felt overwhelmed with emotion staring into Maxwell’s eyes. She felt like she wanted to tell him secrets that no one else knew, that she hadn’t even addressed with herself.
“Kiss me beautiful.” He leaned within inches of her so that she could also taste his lips on her. She leaned forward and met his lips and returned his kiss. It was soft and sweet and full of passion. She urgently pushed her tongue into his mouth wanting to taste and feel more of him; wanting to be consumed and to consume.
He sucked on her tongue and pulled back from her. She looked up at him surprised and hurt but was delighted to see that he had just broken their kiss so that he could come around the table and grab her from her chair so that they could kiss properly. She put her arms around him and played with his slick hair. She felt him bring her in closer to him so that their bodies were meshed together; and they were essentially two halves of the same whole. She felt like this was their first kiss; so sweet and powerful were the emotions running through her.
“You are such a sweet sexy thing Sophie.” Maxwell groaned into her ear. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”
Sophie wanted to ask him what his hesitation was but she didn’t want to ruin the mood so she just pushed herself into him harder and kissed him more passionately. She reached her hands down to the top of his jeans and unbuckled his belt. She smiled when she heard him groan but he didn’t try and stop her. She pulled his belt out of his jeans and undid the button and pulled his zipper down very carefully. He stared at her intently and she smiled up at him. She pulled his jeans and boxers down and was rewarded by an already penis waiting to greet her. She got down on her knees and sucked it for a few seconds before taking him in her hands. He gasped and grabbed her head as she gave him a hand job. She grinned as she looked at the desk and saw he had a glass of water with some ice cubes in it. She pushed him down to the couch that was at the side of the room and got up quickly.
“Where are you going?” He pouted at her.
“Hold on.” All of a sudden she felt very much in control and she loved it. She grabbed one of the ice cubes from the glass and put it in her mouth and sucked on it. She walked slowly back to him and saw him pleasuring himself.
“Oh no big boy, that’s my job.” She grinned at him and pushed his hand away. He sat back and grinned at her.
“I was hoping you would say that.”
She leaned forward to kiss him and transferred the remainder of the ice cube into his mouth. Then she bent down and took him in her mouth. He gasped from the intense coldness on him but as she continued bobbing up and down on his cock, she felt him relax and start groaning. She could feel him growing harder and harder in her mouth and she could taste his precum as she sucked on the tip of his cock.
