Chapter 23

“You were?” Maggie asked in a whisper.

“Yes, when I was twenty-five. Her name was Tessa, we grew up together in London and split up when I went to Yale.

“She visited a few times, and we decided that if we were not in a serious relationship when I graduated, we would get together.

“You know what Brett and I were like in college, but I never ended up in a relationship and when she came out for graduation, she ended up staying and moving in with me. And I proposed.

“I thought things were going well until six months before the wedding. I came home early, not feeling well, and walked in on Tessa sucking the neighbor’s cock.

“I walked out, telling her to leave the ring on the table and be out by the next day. I went to Brett’s house and he told me she had been hitting on him too.

“He rejected her and she just treated him terribly after that point. I never went back to that flat. “Brett let me stay with him until I found this place. When Joanie and Niall came out for a vacation, I offered them a job, and they accepted. And they have been here ever since.”

He stopped talking for a minute as he kissed Maggie’s forehead and rubbed her soft shoulders.

“I was in a right state at that point. I started sleeping around and never got close to any woman. I vowed to never bring a woman here until I met someone very special.

“I was a right wanker during that time and not proud of my behavior, but Joanie boxed my ears and set me straight, along with a few calls from my mom reminding me to act like a gentleman.

“And then I met you, Maggie.”

She felt so sad at the pain in his voice, but also pissed that this bitch Tessa could do that to him! He was such an amazing, sexy, annoyingly sweet, and generous man.

“I’m sorry, Liam. Would you like me to kick her ass?”

Liam laughed at her words. “I don’t think we will ever be seeing her again. She went back to England. When I take you back there, I seriously doubt that we will run into her!”

Maggie looked at him. “You want to take me to England with you?”

“Of course I do! I want to show you off to everyone! Will you come with me?”

“I would love to, Liam. Thank you…”

“No more sad things, darling. Only happy things about the future, Okay?”

She agreed and watched as Liam got up after kissing her on the nose and said he would be right back. He threw on his shorts and left the room.

Maggie sat up and waited for him to come back and thought about what he had said.

She was the first woman besides his family that he had brought here and the first relationship he had since he was engaged.

She felt special but was not sure how to handle the pressure. She felt very inadequate next to him and hoped that she could figure out where this was going to go.

Her phone beeped and she retrieved it from the dresser.

Makayla

How’d the date go?

Maggie

I’ll let you know, it’s not over yet! 😉

Makayla

SHIT Mags! Call me when you get home! Damn girl!

Maggie laughed as she put the phone back and walked over to the French doors. She went out and watched the waves roll in from the ocean. It was a hell of a view.

The balcony was spectacular with a clear glass barrier so you could sit on the couch and just relax outside. Liam found her outside and set a tray of snacks and drinks.

“Have a biscuit or other nibble,” he said.

She giggled at his words as she accepted a glass of red wine and a small piece of chocolate cake. They ate together in the moonlight, and when they were done, just sat on the couch together.

“Thank you for an amazing day, Liam. I had a wonderful time with you,” she said as she ran her fingers through his soft hair.

“Oh, Maggie, it was my pleasure. But this is just the beginning for us. I have lots of things planned for us,” he said as he kissed her.

Maggie shifted and straddled his lap. Liam unwound the sheet from her body and kissed her breasts as she sat down on his already hard cock.

He sighed as he filled her up and delighted in how good she felt around him. They kissed and touched each other the entire time as she rode him over the edge, and they both sat there, spent.

Liam touched his forehead to hers as they sat for a minute.

“I have never had sex outside before, but I really liked it!” Maggie said.

Liam laughed. “I have some more ideas on where we can explore! But for now, let’s go to bed, okay?”

She nodded as she got up, and he wrapped an arm around her.

Liam woke the next morning and watched her snooze in his bed. He never wanted her to leave. He peppered kisses along her torso and down her legs. Before she was fully awake, he plunged his tongue between her folds.

Maggie’s eyes shot open at the sudden jolt of pleasure.

“Oh god, Liam! What the hell?” she exclaimed.

Liam soon had her writhing and grinding against him. He smiled as he licked his lips and slid into her hard as she arched up in bliss. He didn’t let up until they came together in a frenzy.

Liam fell half onto the bed, breathing hard.

“Good morning to you too!” Maggie said as she ran her fingers up and down his sweaty back. “I love the stubble, Liam.”

Liam chuckled and rubbed his cheek on her shoulder and neck as Maggie squealed. He pushed a few strands of hair away from her face.

“God, you are so beautiful! Stay again tonight…”

“I can’t, Liam. I don’t have my bag, I have to feed Gus, and I don’t have any proper work clothes… I would love to, but I didn’t plan, babe.”

Liam stopped for a second and looked at her. “Say it again,” he demanded.

“Say what? I can’t stay?”

“No, you called me babe. I want to hear you say it again,” he said simply.

Maggie smirked. “Babe…”

“I love that you call me that!”

She laughed and called him that again and again as he kissed her lips and neck. He stopped when he heard her stomach rumble.

Once he stopped laughing, he said, “Come on, darling. Let’s get some food in you!”

He pulled her up, tossed her one of his T-shirts, and pulled on his own shorts. They walked hand in hand downstairs, where he made some tea and waffles.

They went for a quick swim in his pool before Maggie changed and Liam drove her home.

“This was the most amazing weekend I have ever had, babe! Thank you!” she said, pulling him in for a kiss.

“Darling, it was my pleasure, trust me!” he said, grabbing her butt as he kissed her hard.

“God, I love your arse!” he said, squeezing it. “And your tits.” He moved up and ran his fingers under her shirt and rubbed her nipples.

She moaned a little as he kissed her again.

“If you talk dirty to me, babe, you are never getting home!”

He chuckled. “I will go so you can grade papers and be the sexy teacher that you are!”

She walked him to the door. “Text me later, okay?”

“You bet your arse I will!” He walked down the hallway.

Maggie closed the door and leaned against it.

“Holy shit!” she gasped out loud.

She ran to her room, grabbed some clothes, and threw them in the washer before plugging in her phone and calling her friend.

“It’s about time you called! How was the date?” Makayla asked.

“Oh my god, Mak! Where do I even start?”

“That good? Shit, okay, I am coming over with pizza! Mike is working on a design with another guy and I’m bored! Be there soon!”
