My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 999

[Lucius’s Room]

In the room where Lucius was staying, Amanda was indeed with him, pushing boundaries he wasn’t sure he should cross. These were his first days in the home of a grandfather he had only seen for a few seconds.

He didn’t want to come off as some hormone-driven teenager sneaking around with his girlfriend like a delinquent. But Amanda had a way of making him loosen up and be less serious.

"Please, don’t make noise…" Lucius whispered nervously.

"You really think, in this massive house with these castle-thick walls, anyone can hear us?" Amanda teased, smiling as her hands roamed places that only made Lucius want to do things that weren’t exactly innocent.

"We still don’t know what the rules are here…"

"Mr. Lucius," she mocked playfully, "you act like you follow all the rules. You think we can’t do anything, but may I remind you—you’re the one who sent the message."

"Yeah, but I just wanted to sleep next to you… cuddled up," he admitted, trying to keep Amanda under control as she lay on top of him.

"We are cuddling… and making good use of our time," she smirked. "You know, I like you even more with those nerdy glasses on."

"Amanda! Please don’t make me lose control," Lucius groaned as he flipped her onto her back, pinning her beneath him.

"And what are you gonna do about it?" she asked, grinning mischievously.

"You already know…" Lucius said, trying to stay calm.

"Well, I’d like to see it again… and feel it," Amanda whispered before pulling him into a deep, passionate kiss.

"Amanda…" he gasped, attacking her with playful tickles.

"Come on! Worst case, they kick us out and send us to sleep in a hotel."

"Only if you promise not to scream or make too much noise."

"Hmm… I’ll shove a pillow over my mouth."

"Drama queen."

"Have I told you how insanely hot you look when you stare at me like that?"

"Like what?" Lucius asked, intrigued.

"You really came here to corrupt me, huh?"

"Excuse me? You are a year older than me. You should be corrupting me, not the other way around."

For the first time, Lucius was experiencing something completely free from his grandfather’s watchful eye and his so-called father’s expectations. If he had to put it into words, he knew his life was different now.

But there was no denying that ever since Amanda entered his world, he was no longer the same person.

They had only been dating for a week, yet he had been mesmerized by her for months—the girl with those captivating eyes and deceptively innocent face.

Meanwhile, outside, Maximus—desperate not to hear something he wasn’t ready for—rushed past the room on his way to his own. He was exhausted, but after his talk with Magnus, he had a much clearer idea of what he needed to do.

Unfortunately, he did hear something. Something he never thought he would: the undeniable sounds of his eldest son not being a little kid anymore.

For a moment, he simply shook his head in disbelief. But then, despite himself… he smiled.

That girl was going to change Lucius’s life forever.
