NovelEnglishChapter 289 "Claire..." Max murmured against my neck, clearly wanting to steer away from the conversation. His gentle touch was enough to distract my sensitive mind.
He slowly moved downwards, his intentions clear...
Just as things were heating up, there was a knock on the door. "Silas, open up! Silas! Max!" Garrett's voice grew increasingly impatient.
Max sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he gently seton the bed. "Hold on," he said, striding to the door and swinging it open to Garrett's insistent pleas.

"And lettell you, I was with little Claire last night and she feels much nicer. Can I just choose her instead?" "Get lost." Max's voice was ice-cold, and Garrett immediately straightened up.
"Look, you've avenged Mom, and that person is gone. Didn't you promiseyou'd swap back once that was done? Bro, you can't just break your word." "Are you finished?" Max asked flatly.
Garrett nodded, bewildered. "Yeah, I'm done." Bang- I heard the door slam shut.
Max really didn't hold back with his brother.
Curious, I moved to check if Garrett was still standing outside in tears, but Max, full of a brooding intensity, hoistedup over his shoulder. I struggled to break free, confused by this sudden change. "What are you doing, Max? I liked the gentle Max, not this brute." But Max wasn't listening. He tossedonto the bed, kneeling between my legs, his fingers gripping my chin with a smirk that sent a shiver down my spine. "So, he held you last night?" I froze, a cold sweat beading my back. "I thought it was you in the room. When he pulledin, he hugged me. But he's so bony, it hurt. And I knew it wasn't you because you smell like sandalwood, and he... Ugh..." My words were silenced by his kiss, as if he was remindingnot to wander around at night without thinking. I realized my mistake.
.n But before could apologize, he bit me, hard, yelped, pushing him away, But he swiftly pulled off his tie, binding my wrists. "Max, what are you doing?" "Are you comparingto Garrett?" I was nearly scared out of my wits, thinking he was punishingfor such a thing.
"Jerk," I kicked at him, but he caught my ankle, flippingover. I tried to toss my hair out of my face, only for him to attack my neck againo "Max, you wouldn't dare..." He did dare...
"It hurts..." Resistance was futile. The only option was to soften and plead, and he finally relented, cradlingand planting soft kisses in my hair.
"Where else did he touch you?" "Nowhere. He was nearly frozen to death; what could he do to me?" eine
Max brushed my hair aside, noticing the faint mark on my neck fromm My where Garrett had grabbed"He choked you? He must have a death wish."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, I realized how tender and caring Max was with me, yet how cold and ruthless he could be with others, even his own brother.
"Max, I ran into something. It wasn't him."
I didn't want Max and Garrett at odds, but he simply grunted and kept at it, tormentinguntil I was exhausted.
Only when I was too tired to move did he leave, as I drifted into sleep.
I pulled the blanket over my head, silently praying for Garrett.
Hopefully, he wouldn't get too much of a beating.
