He chuckled, ―When you‘re better I‘m taking you to Spain like I said for a honeymoon and we‘ll do our best to get you pregnant there.‖
She beamed, ―Oh Max, you say the most wonderful things.‖
He laughed, and then became serious, ―Nikos called.‖
―Oh?‖ she said pressing her lips together to keep from smiling. Seeing Max jealous was unusual and she couldn‘t help but feel good about it.Not once had she seen him jealous of other men.
―I promised myself not to make demands of you Lily, but I swear to God, I‘m going to snap if that man comes near you again.‖ Luke had told Nikos about Lily and he sent his regards from his and Demetrius‘ family along with another invitation for them to come and visit.
―Max, there‘s nothing going on between Nikos and I—―
―I know you think that Lily, but he‘s a man, and you‘re a 151

beautiful woman—―
She shook her head, ―Nikos knows I‘m crazy about you.
He told me that you needed some help to see what you were letting go. He is not the type of man to betray your trust. I know he isn‘t. Besides—― she said finally letting her smile free, ‖—I am a married woman.‖
―Yes, you are,‖ he said possessively relaxing somewhat,
―But Lily, you are so beautiful that any man would set aside their morals.‖
―Stop that.‖ She said softly still not used to his compliments.
He bent down and kissed her, ―it‘s true. Can you imagine how beautiful our children would be?‖ His chest swelled at the thought of a little girl that looked like Lily. ―Luke moved your things to our Penthouse by the way—―
―Our? How wonderful that sounds.‖ Then she thought of Luke and how alone he would be without her. ―Poor Luke.‖
―Don‘t poor Luke, Lily, he has more than enough attention from women, but now he can have them over and not hide his love life from you.‖
―He didn‘t!‖ she said wide-eyed.
His grin was downright devilish this time, ―Oh he certainly did honey, but that too, is none of your business. Just know that he isn‘t as lonely as you think he is.‖
She blushed and rolled her eyes, ―fine, I don‘t want to visualize my brother as a womanizer so I won‘t bring it up again.‖
Luke was a very handsome man.He was just about Max‘s opposite with his fair looks. He had blonde hair and hazel eyes and was around the same height if only an inch or two shorter.
Max chuckled at her embarrassment. Lily was extremely naïve if she thought Luke was innocent. He was sure she thought he had women, but he could probably put Max to shame with his adventures abroad. There were times when they travelled 152
The Billionaire‘s Secret Desire together that Max went back to the hotel room alone, but Luke never did, or needed too. Max always had Lily in the back of his mind and only when his need became intolerable, did he take a woman to bed.Somehow he always felt guilty about it, but he knew he shouldn‘t. There was no commitment from her as of yet, and Max was a man. He actually confessed that to her the first night they made love and she was very understanding and told him that if he didn‘t have experience, then she would have no one to teach her.He shouldn‘t have expected anything less than understanding from her. She was really surprised that he hadn‘t had a woman in over a year because of his devotion to her and she knew nothing about it. Yet the other night she literally blew his mind. Even up until he had come to terms with his feelings for Lily, never did a woman affect him so emotionally.
―And tonight when I take you home, we are going to start planning our future.Next week we‘ll have a reception for our friends and family. By then you should be feeling better.‖
―I already am.‖ The news he‘d given her made her feel ecstatic.
―And the rest of our lives will be the same.‖ He said genuinely.
She ran her eyes over his handsome face feeling almost too choked up to speak, ―I love you.‖ She saw his pale eyes darken as a sexy grin spread
