  (Max POV)Sleep at this moment was the last thing on my mind. I haven't even undressed yet as I stood at the window overlooking the city below. It was alive out tonight as all of downtown beamed with action.I had poured myself some whiskey that I soon forgot I held in my hand. I am severely distracted at this point. Not by the little red and white lights below zipping by in the street below. But, by someone. I was distracted with my kiss with Kira.As if it branded my lips, I could still feel their softness on mine. God, it felt so good.I turned and placed my tumbler filled with my untouched whiskey on a nearby table and slowly undid my now loosened tie.I was a little exhausted but at the same time anxious like a kid waiting for Christmas morning to arrive. Taking a deep breath I undressed and jumped into the shower. The hot spray of water from the showerhead massaged my head with the force of its stream

  "That one is a prescription only Max, which means I still must see a Doctor." I slouched in minor defeat."Right," he murmured and continued to read."Plan B One-Step is an emergency contraception a backup plan that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure...." He paused and I watched his eyes settle on mine.I bit my lip nervously. That would be the one considering tomorrow will be the third day. I watched him take a deep breath and meditate over this."But is this safe?" He looked at me for the answer with concern in his gaze. I had no clue how to answer it."I think it is," so unsure of my answer, I looked away.I sat there and watched him continue to read. I was so anxious and afraid. A chill passed over me and had to hug myself. I licked my lips, trying to moisten them, but it was useless. I couldn't resort to chewing on my nails because I will ruin a perfectly good manic

  (Kira POV)If I could describe what I was feeling right now it would be utter fright, confusion and uncertainty. From the moment I presented the design on the P&L bid, I was confident. I was a little nervous, but confident and excited because it all went perfect. Until, I saw him.My eyes at that moment I thought were deceiving me and I thought my mind was playing tricks with me. I was in total shock that instant when I find out that the gorgeous guy I had a one night stand with is none other than Maximilian Chase.My heart was careening out control as I stared into beautiful gray eyes that were just as surprised to see me as I was to see him. Then we were introduced and we shook hands, they felt strong and warm. A part of me didn't want to let them go.The strangest sensation washed over me as our fathers talked and then he spoke. His velvety smooth voice had a timber to it that made me tingle all over. I was

  (Max POV)We decided to talk about handling our situation first before getting further into the design bid with P&L.I've heard at one time the name of an emergency contraceptive called Plan B that Josh mentioned his girlfriend using a while back when his condom broke. Yes, we guys do talk about these things.I barely knew anything about it. Although, I did slip once or twice and had sex with Bianca unprotected. Meaningless as it was, she was on birth control. She made sure she took it religiously for the simple fact she detested kids and she never wanted to ruin her figure.I looked at Kira and I mentioned it. I got her full attention and that when she confessed she thought about it, but the fear of going to the family Doctor. She didn't.I understood her completely.I wanted to know more about it so I pulled out my phone and I began scrolling through the screen and found the info on it. I read

  Suddenly I felt uneasy praying that they weren't going to start comparing who was the best child. Laying out our achievements like prized possessions."What are your interests Kira?" my dad asked. Her eyes rested on mine, then quickly looked at my dad and answered."Pre-Med. I want to be a Cardiologist," she answered with a smile.Immediately my eyes met hers again and I was so stunned."Well, I'll be damned Winthrop it seems as if we both are predetermined to have Doctor's in the families," my father boasted.Her father chuckled and looked at me with a wide smile."Max? You're into medicine as well, I take it?"I smiled and nodded looking at him, then at her."I'm in my 3rd yr. After that, I have one more year to complete my Bachelors in Science and then I will be able to take my MCAT exam, but I'm taking a year off to help out my father," I watched her eyes widen in awe I could tell she was amazed.At this point, I was

  I frowned, I could see he had very little sleep and probably slept on the jet."Emergency meeting?, What is it about?""Peterson & Lark have decided to pull a new angle on their campaign. They have worked with us in the past and loved our work and they have worked with Chase Industries as well...They have decided to use both companies and moved forward to put in for a design with a joint effort."I could tell my dad didn't like this at all. Work with Chase Industries. It wasn't something he planned to do in a while. Well, never."Daddy, can they do that?" I asked with concern.He looked down at me and smiled at me. "I am afraid they can pumpkin, but don't worry about that." He turned to face me."It appears you will be working with the Graphic designer of Chase Industries." He tapped me on my nose playfully."And I want you to show your best work yet." He smiled."I will daddy, so when does this need to be done?"
