Invisible to My First Love (Harper and Maddox) novel Chapter 62

Harper 

Maddox drove with one arm on the wheel, his gray shirt so tight that it made it impossible not to notice every flex of muscle. The white smart pants only added to the effect of him being effortlessly attractive. He looked good and he knew it, too. 

“You know, now would be a good time to tell me where we’re going or do I have to keep on guessing?” I asked for the third time. “You told me to put on a nice outfit but emphasized that I wear comfortable shoes and I still don’t know what’s going on.” 

“That’s exactly what’ll make it fun.” His eyes were still fixed on the road. 

Before I could roll my eyes, his hand latched onto my thigh and heat shot through me instantly. I could never get over how easily he could do that to me. Just a touch and I was already on the edge of wanting more. 

But I wasn’t even able to lose myself in the moment as he quickly pulled away to turn on the radio. Not only did that leave me feeling empty, it also left me feeling disappointed. 

When he turned up the volume, a familiar melody made my chest tighten. It was our song with Grayson. He and I had sung along to it on that Friday night just like we did when we were younger, like nothing had changed. But everything had changed and it made my stomach twist. His harsh words from earlier that day pushed their way into my mind. 

I blinked quickly with my lips pressed together, trying to hide the sadness in my eyes. 

“You okay?” His voice was softer. 

I sighed with an effort. “Grayson and I used to sing this song all the time.” 

His hand moved like he was about to change the song, but I stopped him. “There’s no need for that. Let it play.” 

I refused to sit there and sulk over a broken friendship. 

“Hey, we’ll be there by 6 PM. That’s like five minutes from now, so your impatient ass can keep track.” His voice was teasing, like he was trying to cheer me up and it was already working. 

“Are you sure about that? All I see is dirt and grass.” I huffed. 

“Patience.” He chuckled lightly. 

Only a few minutes after saying that, a wide sign carved in stone appeared. 

WELCOME TO LARKSPUR HILLS! 

I let out a laugh in pleasant surprise. “You actually brought me here?” 

“Yup.” He spoke so casually like it was the most normal thing in the world. “I haven’t had the chance to check out this particular birthday present since it was given to me.” 

My jaw nearly dropped while we were still at a distance. The estate looked like something out of a dream. It was intimidating in its size and nothing like I had ever seen before. 

The security guards at the front gates addressed him with so much respect as he drove past them. 

Flashing me a grin, he said, “I hope you’re ready for the tour. We might be walking for hours.” 

I thoughtfully tilted my head. “Is that why you emphasized that I wear comfortable shoes?” 

He nodded with confidence. 

When he parked, he stepped out first, running a hand through his blonde hair before circling around to open my door. I stared at him the entire time. Never in a million years had I thought I’d be spending so much time with him. 

The walk through the estate revealed three layers of mansions. The outer layer was luxurious, the inner layer even more luxurious, but it was the layer at the very center that was the most extravagant of them all. 

Two hours later, we finally reached the largest mansion in the center and it was in this specific one where I got a tour inside. I couldn’t stop looking around and had the urge to touch the marble surfaces. Even the towering windows were unlike anything I had ever seen before. 

“This is insane. It’s absolutely beautiful.” 

He shrugged, leaning against the frame of the master bedroom door. “It’s alright.” 

I chuckled in disbelief. “Just alright?” 

“Nothing beats the motorbike uncle Sebastian gave me. That’s a real gift.” His blank expression shifted to something more flirtatious as he came closer but didn’t touch me. “One of these days, I’m going to take you for a ride and that day, you’ll get to ride something else other than my cock.” 

“You’re right.” he said quietly, his gaze dropping to my lips. “We should put the time we have left to good use. We can grab something to eat after this…” 

Moaning softly against his lips, I wrapped my arms around his neck and that sent a signal to him to deepen the kiss.
