SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID by KIARI HORSFALL

His Subtle Confession

The drive to Max's hotel was silent. Neither of them said a word to the other.

Hera wanted nothing more than to ask what was happening but she couldn't. When Max had told her that Bryce might be in some kind of trouble, she had refused to go but after much persuasion from his end, she caved and finally gave in to his demands. She knew deep down that she was a bit upset with him but still, she had badly wanted to ask Max If he was alright. He didn't give her any details and she couldn't guess either, the cause of what was happening. So much for wanting to have a peaceful night free of drama.

Somehow she wondered what she was thinking when she let him get so close to her. She thought that she was changing him for the better. She thought that she was getting through to him but she wasn't. "Are you alright?" Max inquired when she hadn't said anything since they started the journey.

"No." She answered softly.

"Listen, I know that Bryce may seem like a bad person but trust me, he's not. He just has a lot of baggage that he has been fighting alone for a very long time now" He explained with an occasional sigh. "I'm not saying this because I'm his best friend. I'm saying this because I know that he feels something for you. Don't give up him Hera. At least not yet. He truly needs you."

"I've seen the changes myself these past few weeks. Even I am surprised at what you've done to him" He added.

Hera threw him an alarmed look "I haven't done anything."

"Yet." He replied sharply "You may think that you haven't but you have."

"Max?" She called out suddenly.

"Hmmm" He hummed a reply. His eyes still focused on the road.

"What happened to Bryce's parents?" She asked and he darted his eyes at her for a brief second before gazing at the road again.

"What do you mean?"
