I didn’t need a charming prince at my side. I needed a villain at my back. I needed someone who would love me with obsessive reassurance. Someone who wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty because I knew firsthand that the world was far from a fairy tale.

We all need a Maximo ❤️

“I’ll take care of you until you’re just as wrapped up and addicted to me as I am to you.”

He sat in the aisle chair, and I started to squeeze by him when he pulled me into his lap. Settling me on his thigh with my legs between his spread ones, he wrapped an arm around me.

Like a king 👑

“No one hurts you. If they do, I’ll make sure they spend the limited time they have left on earth regretting it. It will not be a headache. I’ll enjoy making it clear what happens to anyone stupid enough to touch you.”

He will start a war if he has to 👌🏽

I picked up the card.
Merry Christmas, little dove.

Maximo just won me over completely 🥰 he turned one of the rooms to a sewing studio with everything she needs 😭❤️

“Maximo.” Serrano jogged over to catch up to me.
“How bad was it?”
“Some clutter and spills. Not bad.”
“Did you put the fear of God in them anyway?”
“No, I put the fear of me in them.”

😂😂😂

“Of course. We’re women. Women bleed. Men would die from their first cramp.”

Love Ms. Vera 😂

She thinks he’s handsome?
“You’re off door duty,” I bit out, pissed and irritated for reasons I didn’t want to think about.

Now he’s jealous 😂

Before I could pull my hand out of his, he adjusted his hold. His tattooed fingers wove through mine, giving me a reassuring squeeze.
And I squeezed the hell out of his.

How can anyone hate Maximo 😍?

“Dove,” Maximo whispered soothingly, stroking the top of my head. I wanted to lean into his touch, but I couldn’t.

It’s the simple things ❤️ no matter the situation
