Maxine swallowed hard not sure if she heard him well, or she wasn't sure if he actually meant what he said—like the deep deep meaning of his words.
The warmth that came to her mind was disturbing. She cleared her throat and walked away from where she stood to stay in front of him.
"Whatever happened between us should be hidden, Your Grace. I want to remind you that I'm married. Please stay away from me and do not destroy my marriage. I love my husband very much and I want my marriage to work despite everything."
She retracted her gaze from him, "I will forgive him but...I will also have to tell him what happened between us. I do not trust that you would keep it to yourself, so I will just...I will tell him myself."
"That you kissed me?" Sullivan asked, a brow raised and on hearing his words, Maxine felt threatened and she shook her head.
"You kissed me first."
