316 Pride vs Saving business 1

Sunday

11:02 AM

Max and Liz reached the Williams family's villa and the staff informed them that Isaac is in the living room with Ronald and Patrick.

Liz hoped that they will leave quickly because Liz and Max will head back to Seattle soon, and this is her precious time with her father which she does not want to share with Ronald and Patrick.

Considering last night's events, Liz guessed that it's not a good idea to get close to Patrick. She does not know how Max would react, but it can't be anything good and she does not want to see Patrick either.

"Why are they here?" Liz grumbled before looking at Max. "Do you want to go to my room, or walk in the garden? We can also check on the horses, you enjoyed it yesterday morning, and there is a golf course nearby…"

Max knew why Liz is giving all those options. "Thank you for being considerate. Let's go to the living room. This will be fun."

Max pulled Liz so close, that he nearly tucked her under his armpit, and she nestled between his body and his arm comfortably, like she belongs there.

"Daddy…" Liz called cheerfully when they entered the living room.

Isaac smiled widely and gestured to Liz and Max to take their seats.

Max noticed that the mood was not good when they entered, and Ronald and Patrick didn't try to conceal their displeasure as Max and Liz showed up. 

Liz noticed the same thing as Max and frowned. Why are those two acting like she is the one intruding in her own house? If someone should not be here, those are Sandall father and son.

Liz does not remember that Ronald visited their house previously and she wondered if that is something new.

"I didn't realize that you and Mr. Sandall are so close to visit each other over the weekend." Liz said to Isaac casually, like Ronald and Patrick are not there.

"We are not. This is the first time." Isaac confirmed Liz's suspicion.

"Oh…" Liz looked at Ronald. "So, that means you are here for a reason."

Ronald frowned, and he wanted to respond, but Isaac interrupted him by offering to Max and Liz: "What would you like to drink? I've got some of your favorite snacks ready…"

"Thank you, daddy…" Liz smiled and sat next to Max on the sofa while her eyes sparkled at the sight of the variety of homemade snacks. Isaac always knew how to spoil her.

Max and Liz got their drinks and Liz started offering snacks to Max while explaining what they are and why she likes them. "I had this for the first time in Egypt. The main ingredient is sesame seeds… these are the second-best in the world. We sent our pastry chef to special classes in Milan to learn how to make them crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside… and this is…"

Isaac observed with a small smile on his face the scene of Liz babbling excitedly and Max eating obediently everything she offered.

Patrick stared at the carped and chanted curses internally. Why does he need to watch Max and Liz acting all lovey-dovey? Wasn't last night's humiliation enough? But they need Isaac's help and he needs to control himself because this is important.

"The lunch will be in fifteen minutes…" The butler told Isaac discretely and didn't leave.

Isaac understood that he needs to say how many people will be at the dining table, because it was supposed to be only three.

"Are you two staying for lunch?"

Ronald swallowed his non-existent saliva together with all his grievances before responding with a question: "Will we be able to talk?"

"Sure. You can talk, but I don't know how I can help you with your problem." Isaac responded.

"What is the problem?" Max asked.

Isaac looked at Max and then at Ronald. "Do you mind telling him? Max is a businessman and he might have an idea or two how to tackle the problem."

Ronald exhaled in frustration and spoke to Isaac: "We came to you because you are the most influential person I know."

"And I am telling you to talk to Max because he is the most brilliant businessman I know."

Max's smile widened. Liz's father just called him the most brilliant businessman! No matter how confident Max is, it always feels good to be praised.

"What seems to be the problem?" Max repeated his question while chewing the butter crisp cookie dipped in chocolate and crushed hazelnuts that Liz fed him.

Ronald nudged Patrick who snorted in response.

Patrick looked at his father in disbelief. Is he supposed to ask Max for help? No way! He was defeated last night, and now he needs to come back crawling?

Max shrugged. "I was curious about your problem as a courtesy to Isaac, but if you don't want to talk about it, that is fine with me…" Max paused when he saw Liz looking at him dreamily and his lips lifted into a half-smile.

"Can you pass me the water, sugar?"

Liz's eyes widened and her heart rate increased. Did he just call her 'sugar'? Liz subconsciously pressed her legs together when she felt her core tightening at the memory from the previous night. Ah, Max can get her aroused with one word! And it's: sugar.

She reached for the glass and handed it to Max with a shaky hand.

A second later, the glass shattered on the marble floor.

"Are you OK?" Max asked Liz.

"Yeah… sorry. It slipped." Liz said clumsily. She is not sure if she let go of the glass too soon, or if Max did it on purpose. She looked at the shattered glass on the floor and was glad that both of them are wearing shoes, but… "Oh, no. Your pants are wet."

"Just on the edge. I can dab it with a towel or blow-dry it for a minute…"

Liz stood up when she saw the maid come to collect the glass and wipe the wet floor. "Come, let me show you to the bathroom…"

"Rick, Isaac said that Max can help. Do you care more about your ego or about your business?" Ronald said with a warning in his voice when Max and Liz exited.

Patrick exhaled in frustration. "Fine. I will talk to him when they return."

"There will be five for lunch…" Isaac told the butler.

…

In the bathroom…

Liz yelped when Max lifted her up and put her to sit on the counter next to the sink.

She wanted to ask what he is up to, but he sealed her lips in a searing kiss that made her head spin. The chocolate and hazelnut mixed with the flavor of Max, and Liz was confident that she just found her favorite dessert.

Liz felt his palms moving from her knees over her thighs, under her dress, and she jolted when he tugged on her panties, ripping them in the process.

"Max, the…"

"Shh… Relax, sugar… Didn't you say last night that I should not hold back, and how you want to feel everything?"

Liz responded with a nod.

"Then… let me do my thing…"

Max pulled Liz all the way to the edge of the counter and spread her legs apart.

She wanted to ask if he locked the door, or if he is aware that Isaac and two other people are in the living room, or… all the questions disappeared with a sudden moan when his thumb landed on her clit and started moving in small circles while his middle finger slipped inside her.

"You are wet and ready…" Max's voice was deeper than usually.

Liz inhaled a shaky breath and tilted her head backward and Max used this opportunity to nibble on her exposed neck.

Liz clutched the edge of the counter and spread her legs wider when Max slid a second finger inside her. His fingers thrust faster, applying pressure on the sensitive spots inside and outside expertly and within a minute Liz fell apart in his hand while biting her lower lip in an attempt to suppress her cries.

Max unbuttoned his pants with haste and released his erection from the confinement of his underwear.

He moved closer and Liz shivered when she felt his shaft sliding in the wetness at the cradle of her thighs, but it was just the tip.

"Max, please…" Liz wanted to feel him inside all the way.

"What do you want, sugar?"

"You." Liz breathed.

"How do you want me?"

"Hard and fast."

Max smirked and jabbed himself inside her all the way. There was a moment of stillness and then he started moving vigorously.

Max's left hand was on her hip and his right one gripped her ponytail and tugged backward, forcing her to stare at the ceiling.

Liz clutched Max's shoulders and focused on suppressing her sounds, which was more difficult to do with his every thrust.

Max released her hair and reached for her neck, pushing her dress to the side to reveal her shoulder.

Liz barely registered Max's kisses which traveled from her neck to the side because she was overwhelmed by the sensation of him battering her insides. Liz hissed when she felt Max's teeth sinking into her flesh and the sharp pain radiated from her shoulder to the rest of her body in the rhythm of his thrusts, speeding up the buildup of her orgasm.

Liz's legs trembled a second before her body spasmed and she saw rainbows in front of her closed eyes while he pounded himself inside her mercilessly.

Max grunted loudly and his shaky legs forced him to slow down.

Max looked at Liz. Her hair was messed up, and so was her dress… her cheeks were flushed from the orgasm and he was sure that he never saw a more beautiful woman that Liz right now. She was glowing.

He gathered her against him and gently kissed the oval-shaped teeth marks on her shoulder.

Liz leaned on Max limply and breathed. That was intense.
