Chapter 22

Casey and Max hadn't spoken to each other in over a week. Max missed her like crazy. Casey would never admit it but she missed him just as much. Drew was due back Sunday. Casey had just gotten to Kenzie's. They were going to go over some ideas for the wedding. Kenzie hated that Casey was letting herself be manipulated. She also knew how stubborn Casey was and there was no talking her out of this. Casey got a text.

"Max?" Kenzie asked.

"Drew." "Max and I aren't friends anymore."

"Why?"

"He told me he loved me."

"I knew it." "I told you Casey."

"He doesn't love me." "He's just confused." "He has a crush on me." "I made it worse when I slept with him."

"He loves you and I think you love him."

"I'm a happily engaged woman." "I do not love Max." "Let's get started."

When Casey said she didn't love Max, Kenzie could see the pain in her eyes. Kenzie didn't know why Casey was doing this to herself.

Two nights later there was a party to celebrate the partnership of AEW and a popular sports company. Attendance was mandatory for every employee. It was a formal party so everyone was dressed up. There was an open bar. Casey knew Max was there and did her best to avoid him.

As the night was winding down both Casey and Max were buzzed, but not drunk. He came up to her.

"I need to talk to you." He said.

"No Max."

"Please." He said pleadingly. "Five minutes."

They went into an empty conference room down the hall.

"I miss you." He said.

"Well I'm sorry but we can't hang out anymore." She went to leave. He stepped in front of her and cupped his hands around her face. "Max, let me go."

"Please don't marry Drew." "I want us to be together." "I love you."

"No you don't, you're confused." "You don't love me."

"Yes I do Casey." "Yes I do."

"Max, stop saying that, please." She said with tears in her eyes. They kissed.

Ten minutes later a limo was taking Casey and Max back to the hotel. The divider was up. Casey's panties were on the seat next to them. She was straddling him. His hands were under her dress on her ass. They were having sex.

"Casey." He groaned.

"Max, yes, yes." She moaned. They kissed. He grabbed her hips.  They went faster. "Oh Max." She moaned loudly. "Oh my god."

Five minutes later they came through the front door of Max's room. They kissed all the way  to the bedroom, having each other naked within seconds. He got a condom out of the nightstand. They got on the bed.  He was on top of her. She moaned as he kissed her across her neck.

"Make love to me."  She whispered in his ear. They kissed.

"Max, Casey." They both moaned simultaneously against each other's lips as he slipped inside her.

Over the next hour he'd been gradually going faster. Casey loved every second of it. They kissed.

"God Casey, I love you so much." He said breathlessly.

"I love you too,  oh Max." She moaned. When he heard her he didn't stop but he did slow down. He looked at her and smiled. Her eyes got really big once she realized she said it.

"It's ok baby, it's alright." They kissed.

After they were done Casey fell asleep first snuggled up to him. Max fell asleep that night hoping and praying it would stay this way. In the back of his mind he knew it wouldn't.
