pants pockets. How he could make just standing there look so hot was beyond me.
    “Excuse me, Matthew, while I drool over my husband,” Matthew spoke for me, trying to mimic my voice but in an annoying way.
    Without looking at Matthew and smiling at Max, I said, “You read my mind, and you do an awful impression of me.”
    Max greeted the employees busy at work with a wave and shifted his attention to me. Bending a little lower, he took my hand and kissed the back of it. “I believe I have a lunch date with this beautiful woman whom I happen to be madly in love with.” His eyes never left mine as he pulled me up to standing, with one hand holding mine while the other was gently placed under my elbow. Hypnotized by his actions and his piercing eyes staring into mine in the most heated way, I thought I was going to have an orgasm right then and there. Hot Max! Even after all these years, he still had a way with words and the way he could seduce me with his expression. He was calculated, determined, and all alpha male. But he was my Max.
    “Ready, Mrs. Knight?” Max asked, looping his arms around me.
    “I’m starving, Mr. Knight,” I said.
    Max whispered as he led me toward the door. “Good. I know how to satisfy your stomach and other parts of your body.” Then he said to Matthew, “I’m sure my brother can handle things without you for a bit.”
    “So not fair.” Matthew shook his head with a frown. “Jenna gets all your time.”
    Max stopped and turned slightly. “When’s the last time you spoke to Mom?”
    Matthew shrugged. “Last week, I think. I can’t remember. We’ve been swamped. And you?”
    “I know,” Max sighed. “Mom left several messages. We’ve been playing phone tag. After I have lunch with Jenna, we need to talk about Victor Cummings.”
    “Yeah, yeah. He’s the last person I want to talk about, but I will. We need to close this case before Christmas.”
    “I agree.” With that Max shut the door behind us.
    “Where are we going?” I asked, feeling butterflies fluttering in my stomach.
    “To my office, Mrs. Knight, where I can do anything I please with you.” His hand resting on my waist slid down lower…lower…until it cupped my butt.
    “Max. We’re at work.” I lightly tapped his hand and pushed him away, but secretly I was loving it.
    He gave me a crooked smile as we walked to his office. Keeping a small gap between us, I gave him a playful smile. It had been difficult to spend time alone together the last couple of weeks. With three children, both of us working full-time, meeting deadlines, and not to mention trying to get Christmas shopping done, it was about all I could handle.
    When we entered Max’s office, the smell of catered lunch rumbled hungrily through my stomach. A cup of coffee was all I’d had for breakfast. Sometimes I would forget to feed myself. The nanny did many things around the house for me, but when I came home, I liked to do as much as I could. Maybe I should give her more responsibilities. I had to remind myself that it didn’t mean I was a bad mother or that I had failed at being a mom if I asked for help. Sometimes I wondered if I should take time off and be a full-time mom. If I could have the best of both worlds, then why not?
    Max pulled out a chair for me and sat beside me. Reaching over, he grabbed a plate and filled it with salad, baked salmon, and a scoop of rice pilaf, and then handed it to me. “Since I have a meeting with Thomas, our lawyer, after lunch, I thought we’d have lunch together here. It’s going to be another long night. You know how it is in December. It’s our busiest time of the year.”
    “Thanks,” I said, taking the plate from him. I grabbed a fork and took a bite. “I know. I can’t wait till we get the whole week to ourselves and cuddle up with our babies.”
    Max opened the cap of the bottled water and placed it in front of me. “Me too, babe. I’m so tired and beat. I knew M. Knights fashion line was
