Chasing The Vengeful Villainous Heiress-Chapter 39: I don’t want you to ’just’ touch it

Max told himself he hated Valerie to the bone yet his heart kept beating for her. His beating heart could not be ignored and when in front of her, he didn’t just want to see her cry and fall, he also wanted to see her smiling and happy.

It was complex, yeah. But he was unable to silence either. She did something to him that would forever leave a scar in his heart so there was no way to just forgive her. But then, she didn’t just leave a scar in his heart, so he could not treat her with hatred entirely.

He was a mess in his feelings and didn’t know what was what, but he was sure of one thing. He wanted to own Valerie. Well, more plainly, he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life and he had the power to persuade her into being in his life as well. Thus, he brought up such a contract.

Yet, even when he tells himself that he wants nothing but to make her suffer and to see her cry, he also wants to make her happy while relying on him. He wanted to see other genuine expressions on her face, not just the indifference she showed every moment.

Bringing us back, Max was beyond speechless.

Valerie asking to touch his chest literally left him speechless and his heart seems to have skipped a beat with the surprise. Was she always this bold in front of him?

"Are you sure... You know what you’re saying?" He asked, to be sure he had not misheard and she shook her head.

"I know. I... Want to touch it." Her eyes were fixed on his chest and for some strange reason, it felt like she was scanning his entire heart with those needy eyes.

Well, that wasn’t so bad either. If she succeeded, maybe she could finally understand how complex his feelings for her were.

"Tell me, do you just want to touch it?" He suddenly asked and she raised her gaze from his chest.

"What?"

"Isn’t there..." He drew closer to her while pushing his face further closer to hers, "...something else you’d like to do?"

"Like what?" She asked, her voice sounding silent as she anticipated his actions. "I just want to touch it. I won’t do anything else."

"But I don’t want you to ’just’ touch it." He said and took her hand, "I want you to want more, Valerie. I’m your husband so you’re entitled."

’But I don’t want to cross boundaries and get you mad.’ Valerie thought but she couldn’t voice her thoughts, feeling she might upset him once more. She already got this far in getting him out of his

She looked at her hand in his grasp. He wasn’t squeezing like he did before and was gentle.

"You’re getting distracted." Max said and she brought her gaze back to stare at his face that was now right in front of hers. "Valerie, it’s better to want more when your husband is this handsome and fit, don’t you think?"

’Can I really?’ She thought and pursed her lips. ’This isn’t a trap, is it? He’s being nicer today than before. Is it because of what I passed through? Does he pity me?’ she thought but quickly shook her head and the thoughts flew away.

If she dived deep into her thoughts once more, she would definitely upset him. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Max," she called.

"Hm?"

"Are you sure you want me to touch you, however... I wish?" She asked and gulped. "I can be a little bit handsy and with my hands all over you, I don’t know if you’ll feel uncomfortable."

Max was silent and she feared he was getting mad but contrary, he was actually wondering how that line sounded like something ’he’ would say and not her.

’Haha, she has this side as well, huh? Cute.’ he smiled and Valerie’s eyes widened as he suddenly kissed her.

That was an unexpected kiss and she did not know how to react. She was definitely startled and almost lost her arm balance but Max wrapped his hand around her waist and grinned through the kiss, placing her gently on the picnic mat.

Valerie felt pressured. This kiss... It was different from what she remembered. It was hot and felt like she was being devoured whole. Their tongues swirly and the smacking of her lips.... It was like a new experience to her but it wasn’t foreign.

Max opened his eyes and noticed her face was beet red. She still didn’t know how to breathe through their kiss. It was cute.

He let go and Valerie was finally able to catch her breath. She opened her eyes to look at him and found him smiling warmly at her while stroking her hair back.

"Somethings never changes. That’s for sure." He muttered and knowing what he meant, Valerie turned her face aside.

It was embarrassing. She felt embarrassed and couldn’t say anything either.

"You’re touching my chest now, so how does it feel?" Max asked and Valerie sharply turned her head to see her hands on Max’s chest.

It was true and just like before, she felt the same way. It was so sturdy and hard. Her hand groped his pectoral muscles and then moved to his biceps. Wow, she never knew touching a man’s body could be so satisfying. She didn’t want to let go.

She changed positions with Max so she could get to feel him more and he did not object. She went ahead to carry out her own greedy desires.

’Wow, she meant it when she said she could be handsy. Her hand is all over me.’ Max thought, watching her happily.

This was the most fun he had had in a while. And though it wasn’t as satisfying as seeing her frown in despair for something he did, it was better than when others tried to make her suffer. He looked at the patch on her face and frowned. Far better.

Then, he noticed someone coming from afar and raised his head to see Jeremy approaching. (Jeremy is his assistant from the auction)

"I guess our fun will have to end here for now." Max muttered and Valerie looked up. She raised her head to see someone approaching.

She didn’t know who it was but she couldn’t bring herself to take her hands off Maximus.

"Boss," Jeremy called and stopped in front of them but the naive assistant could not help but assume that they were doing something dirty, given their position and his face flushed.

Valerie was basically on top of Max with her hands groping his chest.

Well, he was more likely to imagine Valerie was doing something dirty to his boss, seeing as she was on top of him.

"What is it?" Max asked and Jeremy flinched, feeling his boss’s cold gaze on him and he quickly looked away from Valerie.

"That is, you’ve been called back to the family mansion."
