A Little Harmless Sex
Melissa Schroeder
Dedication
To Linda Kusiolek for believing in Max, Anna and me the first time
around. You took a newbie author and gave her more help than she
deserved. Your faith in my writing has always and still humbles me. But
because of your obvious irrational hatred of commas, part of the
proceeds of this book is being donated to help you with your therapy to
overcome that. It’s the least I can do.
Love,
Mel
A Little Harmless Sex
Chapter One
“You have to understand, Max, this has nothing to do with you.”
Cynthia tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear then blinked
several times. The sweet smell of jasmine filled the humid Georgia air
along with the clink of glasses and silverware against fine china.
Maxwell Chandler stared at his fiancée—strike that—his soon-to-be
ex-fiancée, and wondered why she’d dragged him out to lunch just to
dump him. It would have been so much easier and cheaper if she had
just called or sent a note. Hell, Max would have been happy with an
email telling him to fuck off. But then, that wasn’t Cynthia’s style.
Cynthia probably worried he’d cause a scene. Max never made a
scene. It would be bad for business. Which meant that she didn’t know
him well. And as his best friend Anna had pointed out, that wasn’t any
way to start a marriage.
She’d claimed that if you were going to marry someone, you should
know every single bad habit that person had. That, in her humble
opinion, was the only way to tell if you truly loved the person. He
probably didn’t know much more past Cynthia’s surface than she knew
past his. Maybe that’s why all he felt was…relief.
“You’re calling off our engagement, so I think it has a little to do with
me,” Max said in an agreeable tone. “Have you met someone else?”
Her blue eyes widened and a look of complete horror passed over her
face. “No. It’s not that.”
“So, you’re just dumping me because you don’t like me?” Max tried to
sound a little hurt. Truthfully though, the tension eased out of his
shoulders and the constant throbbing in his head lessened. He’d gotten
so used to the pain, Max hadn’t realized how intense it had become.
