MAXX's POV:
I was rapidly growing concerned that the points I'd been earning as a new mate were about to expire. I was typically able to keep calm, and make decisions and be confident in them. Then again, that was easy to do when your decisions were typically made for you.
I know that might sound bad, but it was a life I had enjoyed for a hearty twenty-seven years. I suppose that about made me due for a tremendous life shift.
Being with AJ was completely different. I had never been in a relationship before. And now I found myself in the most high stakes conversation of my life. Not that I wanted to describe AJ as a ticking time bomb, I definitely didn't feel that way! But things were escalating pretty damned fast.
I just hoped I could keep up.
