Harvey chuckled, "Let me clue you in on why."

He stood in the evening breeze.

Looking down at Max, Harvey snickered, "Regretting now, are we? Only realizing you're head over heels for Eloise after she's with me? Max, it's all been your own doing. Like that trap you set for Angus early on. Or your deliberate seduction of Eloise. You had every chance to back out, but time and again, you chose power."

Max wobbled to his feet, his face ashen.

Harvey smirked, "You were the one who let her go. You handed her right over to me."

Max's lips began to tremble, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Harvey stared at him, smirking again, "Max, cut the act. You're not worthy of Eloise."

Max glared at Harvey.

There was a line of faint love bites on Harvey's neck, quite dense, clearly left by a long session of kissing.

Max swallowed hard. He couldn't help but wonder, how many times had they done it tonight?
