―Is that what you think? The world stops for Maximilian King?‖ he said with a glitter of amusement, erasing the annoyance he felt earlier.
She shrugged, ―Always seems that way when you walk in a room.‖ She mumbled. ―The men suck up like there‘s no tomorrow, and the woman do everything shy of stripping off their clothes in a public place to get your attention.‖

―God Lily, what an exaggeration!‖He chuckled while turning on the car and pulling back out onto the road. ―If that were true, you would have made a pass at me a long time ago.
I‘ve spent more time with you than any other woman in my life.‖
He said absently choosing not to look at her to see her expression because she would see his.If Lily made a pass at him, he certainly wouldn‘t turn her down. He hadn‘t seen her in over a month and if it was possible that she‘d grown more beautiful in her absence, she did.She must be about twenty now, and she had developed into a gorgeous woman.Of course he always thought she was, but with his plans coming into focus on his real intentions for her, she was even more appealing and not in the little sister of a best friend way.
He wanted her.
Lily thought her heart just tripled its pace at that confession and she turned away and looked out the side window so he couldn‘t see the vulnerable expression on her face. First of all she wouldn‘t know how to make a pass at him and it certainly wasn‘t for lack of wanting to. She‘d never had a steady boyfriend, and beyond a simple kiss here or there, had no idea of flirting or intimacy. It seemed that whenever she mentioned something to Luke about a potential beau by coincidence Max would walk into her life and the beau would turn into an ass kissing puppet. Yet, that confession, as brief as it was, nearly liquefied her internal organs.
―Are we okay?‖ he slanted her a look after he hid his expression of desire. In the past, he‘d always kept an emotional distance from Lily treating her as his friend‘s little sister, but this summer things were going to change, especially if she was with him every minute of every day.There was no way in hell he could ignore her.
―Sorry.‖ She said sheepishly, I don‘t know what got into me.‖ He gave her an easy grin and turned his attention back to 12
The Billionaire‘s Secret Desire the road. Max was a naturally dominant male through to the bone.To a man, he was intimidating, but to a woman, his demeanour screamed sexual perfection.He was confident, arrogant and highly intelligent so it was justified. Lily knew from an early age that God made him to torture her sex.Even now, while concentrating on the road in front of him he was appealing.
His masculine features were perfection, a strong square jaw, straight aristocratic nose, sensual masculine mouth and those bloody eyes that could drag a confession from a corpse. Also, he had a body that you could fathom on a triathlon competitor. She would know, she‘d been at his house when they‘d used the pool, thankful that someone had invented sunglasses to stop her eyes from flying out of her head. If Adonis walked the earth, he would be a spitting image all beautiful and muscular, and moving with a confident virile grace.
Just thinking about that day sent an odd heat low in her pelvis. How could that happen so easily with him? Never did an image illicit such a physical response like it did with Max.She sighed heavily. She was hopeless.
―I could offer David a job, if you like, and then you could spend the summer together.‖
