Spring was pure femininity. Maximilian was sheer dark masculinity. They were like moths attracted to flame. It was an explosive seduction.

"I can't believe I have been lured into this fucking medieval claptrap," Maximillian snarled.
"Well, if it is of any help, I have seen the girl," Chris, Max's best-friend said.
Maximillian Arrington, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire, was everything that a girl desired in her husband: good looks, great personality, money and a phenomenal cock. But that wasn't the case here; while checking all the boxes on the list, Max's name induced fear in everyone. Girls wanted to be with him, but only for the night, they didn't want to be a part of the darkness.
"What is her name?"
Chris looked at him.
"You have betrothed for thirteen years! You don't know her name!"
"I made sure I knew nothing about her, I was nineteen when the deal came through. Instead of taking the payment for the loan my Father thought it would be great to forge a marital alliance,"
"You will be taking over the entire Williams Enterprise, Max. That's what you wanted,"
"I didn't want the girl!"
"You cannot get everything, there had to a compromise. And just focus on the brighter side, would you? She is astoundingly beautiful, I am telling you this,"
"I have been with the most beautiful women on this planet, Chris. Beauty does not hold that much of a value for me, you know that,"
"We'll see your reaction when you meet her,"
"Do not expect me to be surprised, I will marry her and dump her at the Manor. When the time is right, I will put a child into her,"
"You do sound like a congested medieval Lord; do you hear yourself? What company would she have there?"
"My mother,"
"Mrs Arrington is with you most of the days, she is a board member and the Vice President. She is also not on board with the marriage, do you think she would be good to Williams' daughter?"
Mrs Lillian Arrington was a formidable woman. She would not appreciate Williams' daughter. But it was a done deal that even the Arringtons couldn't back out of.
"I don't care, as long as she gives a kid to further the line. "
"You are making her sound like an object, a broodmare!"
"She is," Max spat, "even her Father thinks the same. Who exchanges their child for financial gain?"
Chris sighed and looked out of the car. Max Arrington was frigid about the deal. He knew how cold-hearted his friend could be, he just hoped that the girl could do something to melt his heart.
"Just... don't hurt her," Chris whispered.
A sardonic chuckle escaped Max's lips. Chris couldn't trust his friend on this, Maximillian had the quality of twisting a person's emotions ruthlessly. He knew a man's weakness and could bring them down on their knees if he set his mind to it. Chris was genuinely concerned for the Williams' girl. She was young, naïve and innocent. Some would use the words gullible and exploitable as well.
