Chapter 3

Max

Alexis rested her hand on Max’s leg and he sighed. She wasn’t going to make this easy on him. He looked at his watch. It was getting late and Sophie was going to wonder where he was. He’d have to be quick.

“So where are we going, Alexis?” He looked at her distractedly. She was still as beautiful as ever, with her sharp blond bob and dark brown eyes. She batted her eyelashes up at him.

“I thought we could get a drink.” She curled into him and he slid away from her. “Don’t you think you owe me that?”

“Alexis. I don’t have time for these games.” He sighed. “What’s up?”

“I was hoping you.” She purred and him and he flinched. He knew that voice, she wanted to have sex. “I’m not wearing any underwear,” she whispered into his ear and snuggled up to him closer. “I could get on your lap if you want.”

“Alexis.” He pleaded with her to stop. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings but there was no bigger turn-off than a woman begging you to sleep with her when you just weren’t interested.

“I can remember a time when you wanted me anywhere you could have me.” She pouted at him and ran a finger down the front of his pants. He felt his c**k twitch at her touch and pushed her hand away. She grinned at him, “It seems like little Max wants to say hello. I bet he’s missed me.”

“Driver, pull over, please.” Max was angry and he jumped out as the cab stopped. “I don’t have time for this Alexis.” She jumped out after him and glared at him before patting down her perfectly coiffed hair.

“I didn’t want to do this the hard way Max but you are really leaving me no choice.” She straightened her back. “Pay the cab and let’s go into Starbucks.” She walked to the sidewalk and waited as he handed the driver a $20.

Maxwell was annoyed. He didn’t want Alexis in his life anymore but he really didn’t know what to do. He had made a huge mistake proposing to her. He’d tried so hard to forget Sophie. His precious beautiful Sophie, the love of his life and heart. It was seeing her face in the morning that gave him the will to live and to believe in happy endings. He wasn’t going to lose her. He wasn’t going to let Alexis ruin this for him.

“How much do you want?” He opened his wallet and pulled out a thick wad of hundred dollar bills. Alexis looked at him with slanted eyes and a bitter smile.

“You’re not going to get rid of me that easily.” She walked into the Starbucks and sat down. “I’ll have a coffee, you know how I like it.”            

He sighed and ordered two black coffees. This was the last place he wanted to be. He wondered what Sophie was doing right now. Was she thinking about him? Wondering where he was. She most probably thought he was still at work. If she knew that he was here with Alexis, he wasn’t sure what she would do or say. He may even lose her. Everything they had was still new and precarious. He couldn’t risk losing her, not when he had finally gotten her. He hadn’t gone through so much pain and strife in the last few years to have Alexis ruin his life.

“Here.” He handed Alexis her coffee and sat down. “What do you want?” He was abrupt and firm. He didn’t want Alexis to think that she had any chance of getting back with him. He couldn’t believe that he had dated this woman and proposed to her. He cringed when he thought about making love to her. He’d been drugged up then. It wasn’t something he was proud of but he’d had to do a mixture of drugs and alcohol to get through that part of his life. Being young and rich wasn’t always a good thing.

“To go back to the good old days, Sir.” She stared at him intently and he cringed. She was addressing him as her Dom and he was worried about what she really wanted.

“What do you want, Alexis?”

“Does she satisfy you, Max?” Alexis leaned into him. “Is she as adventurous in bed as I am? Does she even know just how kinky you are?”

“It’s none of your business, Alexis.” His voice remained calm but he felt a surge of panic run through him. There were many things that he hadn’t told Sophie.

“Does she know about the sex clubs?” She licked her lips. “Does she know that you like to swap? Or have you guys already done that?” She paused as she watched his hands still on his coffee. “Maybe it turns her on to watch you f**king another girl? If you want she can watch us. Or maybe you want Frank to have his turn with her as well.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about, Alexis,” he growled.

“Have you spoken to Frank lately?” She looked at him intently.

“No.”

“I miss those days.” Her eyes became glazed. “The X Club was the place we were both really alive, Max. You know that’s true. We belong there. You, me, Frank, Gina. Those were the days.”

“I don’t miss them.” He looked at her distastefully.

“What would Sophie say if she knew?” Alexis laughed. “Would she like you to watch her suck off another man?”

Max sat his coffee down on the table and leaned towards Alexis. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly. “Listen here, Alexis. I am going to say this once and once only. If you ever go near Sophie again or I find out you have sent anything to her or told her anything, I will personally make sure that that is the last thing you will ever do in this world. And if I hear that Mitch has been around her, well, you don’t want to know what will happen to him.”

“She’s not worth it, Max.” Alexis sighed and looked at him pityingly.  “You’re not a vanilla, two point four children kinda guy. You’ll get bored and then you’ll be trapped.”

“Is that all you have to say?” Maxwell got up to leave.

“No.” Alexis held up her hand. “I want to know when you’re going to tell her about our child.”

Max sank to the chair, all color drained from his face. “What are you talking about?” He stared into her eyes to see if this was some sort of trick. If she was lying to get him to react. “Alexis?”

She bit her lip and looked away from him. “I didn’t want to tell you this way Max.”

“Tell me what?” He felt his heart sinking and he swallowed hard.

“We have a son.”

“When?” He paused and leaned towards her. “And if you are lying I swear to God that you don’t want to know what I will do to you.”
