The Promise Pact (Promise to Love Book 1) (22 page)

“I don’t deserve her love, I know I don’t. I’ve done nothing but disappoint her time and time again but I swear that if she were to give me one more chance I would never let her down again.”

All eyes were on them. Observers shifted their bodies to get a better look at the woman that claimed Max’s heart.

But Kaya was staring at a stranger. His words were meaningless to her. She couldn’t teach him the art of giving, it was something that would have to come to him naturally.

His sweet scent filled her nostrils, causing her morning sickness to bubble up inside. She felt faint, but somehow held her ground, afraid that if she fell it would hurt their child. She raised her hand up with her palm out, indicating she wanted him to stop where he was. She didn’t want him to come any closer, his presence was already making her vulnerable.

Max stood there rejected but cautiously respected her space. The breeze was loud, the crowd was silent, and Max was nervous. He could hear Kaya’s deafening heartbeat blasting from her chest. They stood there motionless, like two small boats without a sail. He was afraid to move. She was afraid to blink. Was this a dream?

“I love you Kaya Hanson. Please forgive me. I was so wrong,” he pleaded with tears in his eyes. But she couldn’t forgive him, even if she wanted too because she would never allow Anne to be alone, and her baby to be unwanted.

“Max, why are you doing this?” She asked looking around at all the people expecting a positive answer from her.

“Because I love you!”

“It’s not enough. I need more.” She cried, placing her hand on her belly.

“More, I don’t understand. I want my family. Please give me another chance.” He felt like a fool. Hadn’t she heard him say he came back for his entire family? He needed to make her understand.

“Kaya let me spell it out clearly to you. I love not only you but Anne and this new baby also. I can’t live without you.” He placed his hands on top of her belly and rubbed gently. She cried.

He yelled out for Anne. Angela pushed her way through the crowd. She wasn’t going to let her best friend miss out on the best thing that ever happened to her. When she reached them, she hugged Kaya and whispered in her ear, “I told you he would return. He loves you, he loves all of you. Forgive him and live your life.”

Anne jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

The crowd swarmed in, causing Anne to bury her face into Max’s protective chest. But Max needed her to hear him clearly, he didn’t want her to miss one word.

“Anne, Anne sweetheart,” he stated as she propped her tiny chest forward a little and opened one eye. He smiled then gently placed her on the ground. She kept close to him, hugging his leg tightly. She was scared so he squatted until they were eye to eye. Then he spoke, “Anne, I love you dearly. I also love Kaya and the new baby in her tummy. I don’t want you to have to call me King Max anymore unless you want to sweetheart.”

He paused. He could tell she didn’t understand so it made simple.

“Anne, it would be my honor princess if I could be your dad one day.”

She giggled in his chest but kept her head buried. He kissed her gently and returned his focus to Kaya. Her sad, grief-stricken eyes made his heart melt. Max remained in the squatting position, but shifted his weight until only one knee was up and the other down. Kaya gasped. Anne kept her head tucked close to his chest. He then reached into this pocket and pulled out a 5 carat diamond ring.

“I’ve been lost without you. And I’ll be lost forever if you don’t forgive me baby. Please Kaya Hanson, make me the happiest man in this world and marry me. I promise never to disappoint you again. I love you and I love our entire family.”

The crowd kept their eyes glued on her. Then she reached her shaking hand out and pulled him towards her. They met face to face, eye to eye then she replied, “I love you. I love you so much. Yes, I’ll marry you!”

The crowd roared but Kaya and Max didn’t hear a sound just the thunderous roar of their anxious heartbeats finally being reunited.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

The beach house was eerily calm. The sun was setting, causing a bright array of colors to radiate in the main living area. A shimmer of burnt orange with a hint of yellow fell against Kaya’s flawless skin as she entered the main area.

“Christ your beautiful.” Max stated as he caught his breath.

“Thank you!” She blushed.

They both were unbelievably thankful Angela had agreed to watch Anne. Max, with the help of Kyle, had arranged all the details for a full princess retreat. The Omni hotel had transformed their most exclusive penthouse suite into a “Princess Haven” full of ballroom gowns, cupcakes, makeup and other treats. It was exactly what Angela and Anne both needed. Not to mention Max, who desperately needed to spend some time alone with Kaya.

Staring out into the vast blue ocean, Kaya nervously pressed her slender yet curvaceous body against the door frame. Her sweet jasmine scent was lighter than normal but still drifted into his nostrils, causing his heart to leap into his throat while his manhood pounded in his pants. Her long, white, silk robe laid perfectly against her figure. The front panel was cut high, providing him a front row seat to her toned curvy thighs.

Max knew she was anxious. The problem was that he just didn’t know how much longer his patience would last. His desire for her was unbearable.

He grabbed two crystal glasses off the table, poured some chilled wine into each and moved towards her. His simple, fitted t-shirt and rugged blue jeans was casual. But his large thick erection, already bulging out of his pants, was far from being proper. He stood there proudly hoping his future wife could see how excited she was making him with just one glance.

He stopped midway towards her.

“May I ask you something Kaya?”

“Yes of course, anything,” she answered without looking directly into his eyes.

“Am I making you nervous baby?”

“N-No, I’m just thinking about the entire day. It was truly remarkable!” She lied.

He moved again.

Then closer.

“Mmm,” he moaned. The sweet aroma percolating from between her thighs was the dead giveaway that she needed his touch. Max inhaled deeply, drinking in her scent like it was a rare exotic rose. She could feel his warm breath on her skin. Her entire body responded instantly forcing her nipples to harden and poke through the silk gown. Kaya was going to be his wife. There was nothing she should be afraid to ask for, especially his affection and attention.

“Kaya, I’m trying to be patient, but I need you. Please know, I’m never leaving again.” Tears fell from her midnight eyes and his heart broke in two.

“Don’t cry! Please, let me touch, comfort, caress, and love you!”

His words were clear and direct causing her body to burn like an inferno. God knows she wanted to reach out, toss him on the floor and devour each inch of him but yet she remained surprisingly still.

So did Max. He wasn’t going to rush her.

He quickly swallowed his wine in one gulp and handed her the other glass. Much to his surprise, she ran her tongue around the rim, slowly and seductively. Then she licked her lips deliberately and then downed the contents. The liquid rushed to her head immediately, giving her the nerve to look at him.

Slow Max, move in slowly!
He uttered to himself as he placed the glasses down.

“Kaya, I have to touch. Oh baby, I need to taste.” His words were deep, raw and sexually enticing. He was full of arousal and he was hunting her like she was his prey.

“Then touch me,” she moaned.

Her lustful words forced his manhood to stand as tall a Christmas tree.

“Ah, that’s what I wanted to hear. Now get ready.”

She gasped and arched her back against the frame.

He reached down, grabbed her hand and ran his tongue over the large diamond ring, sucking slowly on her ring finger, before releasing. Oh, he was teasing her, driving her mad with need.

“Max, please…” He watched as her hands trailed up and down her legs, tugging and pulling at her own robe, desperate for release.

“No, let me!” But he couldn’t, she had already leaned her head into his chest and grabbed the front pockets of his jeans, forcing his bulge near her centerpiece. It lined up perfectly. She then dived one hand into his pocket while her other hand unzipped his pants. She reached in, grabbed his member and stroked him feverishly.

He moaned desperately, not anticipating her game changing move.

“How does that feel?”

“So fucking good.”

“Yes, cum for me,” she moaned.

“No, not yet,” he quipped then quickly forcing her hands out of his pocket, off his cock, and against his chest.

“Fine, have it your way. My turn!”

He obeyed.

He
slammed his mouth on hers with great urgency and forced her aching lips to part. Then he thrust his velvety tongue in and tasted her desire, full and raw. Her soft lips made him quiver with pleasure and forced his member to stand taller and harder. In anticipation, Kaya arched her back stiffly and parted her legs slightly.

“Looks like someone is ready for me.”

“Max, make love to me!” Her words caused butterflies to float around his stomach. He spun her around and splayed her palms against the wall.

“Max what are you doing?”

“Don’t move,” he moaned adamantly as he spread her legs further apart and untied her robe. She whimpered as his hands roamed up her thighs, stopping at white satin, drenched panties. “Ah, so wet.”

“Oh, Max,” she screamed as he wiggled his fingers inside her folds and massaged her aching spot. Then he flicked his finger repeatedly over her bud until she gasped. But he wasn’t ready to give her a full orgasm just yet, so he stopped.

“Don’t stop,” she begged.

“What did I say earlier, be patient. I am going to take care of everything.”

“Please, it’s too much,” she moaned with her face pressed against the wall.

“Nothing is ever too much for you,” he replied as his wet fingers then roamed up her stomach finally landing on her bra. He released the hook. Her large breasts fell into his firm grip. Max held each round mass tightly, tugging at her nipples until her knees gave. He caught her as she slid down the wall.

“Oh Kaya, I love you,” he uttered as he kissed her gently then whisked her up into his arms and proceeded to the bedroom.

“Max, where are we going?”

“I am going to
feast
on your body!”

Seconds later he laid her down on the bed and she wiggled out of her silk robe, keeping her needy eyes locked on his. Max then pulled off his t-shirt, dropped his jeans to the floor then tugged off his underwear, revealing a full thick erection. She licked her lips in delight.

“Now, I need these wet panties off. I don’t need them in my way.”

“But Max…” He cut off her words. “Not now baby, I’m occupied.”

An eager Kaya immediately hooked her left leg around his waist and then raised her pelvis to meet his but he wasn’t ready to take her fully.

“Not yet, I’m in control of this situation. Relax.”

“Stop teasing,” she moaned.

He chuckled in satisfaction then reached back and removed her leg from around his waist. Lifting her toned thigh high, he planted tiny kisses from her ankle to the crease of her wet thigh. “Open for me baby, open wide.”

She obeyed.

Max positioned her legs on his muscular back and dove in. He licked and nibbled at her center, paying close attention to the left upper corner where she seemed to enjoy his biting patterns. She screamed, moaned and bucked as he dined on her like fine cuisine.

“Oh Max, that’s it, I’ll almost there.”

She was ready.

Max skillfully placed two large fingers into her wet aching opening. Then he placed his other hand on her pelvis, so he could train her spot to answer only his commands. Finally he submerged those fingers in deep, until he reached his favorite location.

“Oh Max, make me come,” she yelled.

“How is this?” he asked as his fingers rotated in her aching canal.

“Good, so good,” she whimpered as her throbbing muscles tightened and clamped down on him, he quickly removed his digits. Then he repositioned himself, moving his thick member near her wet opening.

“Let me in.”

“Mmm, yes.”

He entered.

Inch by inch he moved into her deep canal feeding her every desire until his entire cock was inside of her. He moved in and out, fast and slow, pumping her hard and strong. Until her muscles constricted and she knew she couldn’t last another minute.

“I love you Max.” Her declaration sent shivers up his spine and they climaxed together. Her orgasms came in waves, causing her to buck wildly against his massive chest. He freed himself in her pussy, releasing his love liquid into her core. Then, Max and Kaya collapsed on the bed, snuggling close to one another.

Filled with emotions he spoke, “We can stay here in Charleston if you want, I don’t care where we live as long as we are all together.”

She propped herself up on the bed. She hadn’t expected to hear him say he would be willing to uproot his entire life and move to the sleepy city of Charleston.

“Kaya, I know you contacted Mr. Fox about the property. He wouldn’t provide any additional details but I assumed it was because you wanted to purchase the house. I decided then that maybe it was time for a slower pace of life. I want my children and wife to be happy and if this place will do, then I’m all in.” He leaned down and planted a small kiss on her forehead.

“Are you serious Max?”

“I have everything I need here. I can start my own private practice. It’s a good place for us all to raise our children, but the decision is completely yours.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I want,” she stated in between breathless kisses.

Max nestled back into the bed and pulled her close. She yawned and within minutes they both slipped into a deep restful slumber.

After nearly fifteen years, the millionaire heartthrob and the awkward misfit from the wrong side of the tracks were finally together. Finally.
