"Is that so? You are quite impressive then," Felicia said. Despite her words of praise, her expression remained entirely flat.
Max smiled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "If your compliments are going to be that halfhearted, you might as well save your breath."
Felicia raised an eyebrow. "You were showing off so much. If I didn't at least humor you, would you have ever let it go?"
Max chuckled softly. "You only humored me with a single sentence."
Felicia sighed, shaking her head. "You really know how to push your luck."
Leading Thundercloud forward, Max closed the distance between them and leaned down slightly. The sheer proximity of the broad-shouldered man and the towering black stallion created a sudden, overwhelming sense of pressure that made Felicia instantly tense up. Before she could step back, his large hand settled firmly on her waist. He leaned in close to her ear, lowering his voice to a dark, husky whisper. "I much prefer pushing my luck when I am inside you."
A deep flush instantly rushed to her cheeks. She shoved his chest, shooting him a blistering glare, and turned on her heel to walk away. She had only taken two steps when her feet suddenly left the ground. "Max!" she gasped in shock.
He effortlessly swept her up into his arms and deposited her sideways onto the horse's back. With her legs dangling in the air and no footholds to brace against, the sheer height left her feeling intensely vulnerable. "Max, put me down right now," she demanded.
Instead of complying, Max swung himself up into the saddle right behind her. He took the reins in both hands, caging her securely within his arms. Gazing down at her rigid, nervous posture, the corners of his lips curved upward. "What are you so afraid of? Did you really think I would let you fall?"
Felicia turned her head to glare at him. "If you keep doing things like this, I will make a scene."

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
