Max's Revelation - Orphan Trilogy

Max has never admitted to anyone that he dreams about his past, snippets of dreams about people he’s sure are his parents… reading him a book, raising him up in the air, calling him another name he can’t remember… They seemed happy. So why did he find himself growing up at an orphanage? Celine is always haunted by the event that changed her life forever, her sister getting taken. When her sister disappeared, she wished it had been her instead. They said she was dead, but she knew deep in her heart that her sister was still alive. Haunted by her past, she navigates her day-to-day tasks like a sleeping robot, waiting to be awakened by the right operator. Two individuals, thrown together by fate whose secrets might destroy the fabric of their existence. Will they find the love lurking in the shadows or will it remain elusive? -=- Some dialogue and instances might be familiar if you’ve read Clara’s Mystery, but this is all from Max’s perspective, and this book runs alongside the same timeline as the first book. -=- Celine swallowed the lump in her throat and touched her lips with the tip of her tongue. It was probably a bad idea because Max just moved his gaze to her lips as his pupils dilated. Her heart thumped a little faster, and she felt like a deer caught in the headlights. She could not look away. She could feel the tension in the air and could feel her control slipping. In her mind, she was kissing those lips right now while she stared longingly. The server came while they were staring at each other, too caught up in the moment, forgetting they were at the restaurant, figuring out the next thing to do. Get out of there and continue the seduction, or let the tension build until the end of the night? ‘

Nine Weeks

-=-

Celine and Max met 9 weeks ago, and a lot has happened since then. All the flirting, the time alone, was getting to his head. He had been training his body and mind constantly to keep from thinking of her, but thoughts of Celine sneak in when he least expects it.

'She looks very beautiful tonight.' Opting to wear a short black dress that had a mandarin collar. Something she probably chose for its modesty, seeing that he kept on staring at her chest too much on their previous dates. But this dress made him more uncomfortable than her other outfits. Because even though it covered all of her body. It hugged every curve, leaving little to the imagination. He wanted to unwrap her from this abomination, starting from the button at her neck which called out his name.

The atmosphere was getting warmer, so he drank some cold water while trying to loosen his collar. He should stop imagining opening the buttons on that dress, one by one, to free...
