Chapter 45

It

was

Mona's first time ever trying to seduce someone into bed.

Mona was tall, and in her short lingerie, her long, beautiful legs were on full display. They looked pale and pristine, like forbidden fruit, which made them all the more mesmerizing. Satisfied with her reflection, Mona headed toward the bedroom.

She found Maxwell seated at his desk, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked almost like a university professor, except that he also had a clear and collected gaze in his eyes. Her heart fluttered at the thought of what she was trying to do, even looking at Maxwell then made her feel shy. She

She avoided looking directly at him as she made her way to him with light steps.

When she was half an arm's length away from him, she had been so focused on her game plan that she accidentally slipped and fell forward, landing directly onto Maxwell's lap and into his arms.

To her credit, Mona a smoothly wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck and locked eyes with him, but she was so shy that she hastily averted his gaze.

Mona was willing to swear that she hadn't done it deliberately. When she was formulating her plan in the bathroom, she did consider falling on purpose next to Maxwell, but decided against it because it seemed so clichéd.

Instead, she had planned to walk up to him, strike up a conversation and then go with the flow and let one thing lead to another. But now that she was in this literal position, she couldn't do anything but bite the bullet and roll with it. "M... Maxwell." Mona said in a bashful voice. She couldn't stand the sound of her own voice and she didn't know if it would stir any emotions in him. Maxwell swallowed hard.

His hand was on Mona's waist now, supporting her, and he could feel the heat of her body through the silky material. It was just that thin, flimsy piece of fabric that separated their skin now.

Suddenly presented with a soft and supple woman against him, Maxwell felt his breathing slow down as he tried to calm himself. He really wanted to take Mona at that exact moment, but he knew that it wasn't the right time yet. He forced down his urges and helped Mona up and away from him before making a beeline to the bathroom.

Mona watched Maxwell flee from her and sighed in resignation. She had been so obvious about her intentions, but he was indifferent.
