Athena's POV
"Max, what's the dress code for the book launch tonight," I asked Max who was currently working on his laptop. "Well it's going to be a bit more like fancy type of thing. A lot of the partners and other publishers and authors will be there," he said as he kept on fixing his laptop screen.
"Okay so it's classy and dressy," I said and he nodded. "I invited your mom and Eros as well," he said. "Really," I squealed as that was very thoughtful of him. "Thanks, love," I said as I cupped his face making him face me. I pecked his lips and went to grab my phone.
"What do you think of this dress," I asked him as I held the little back dress. "You look beautiful no matter what you wear, little dove," he said. I rolled my eyes at his statement. "Did you just roll your eyes at me," he said as he put his laptop on the bed and got up.
I froze in place as he made his way towards me. "No no no, you aren't going anywhere," Max said as I tried to back away. He unexpectedly started tickling me. "Maaaaax," I screamed as he tortured me with the constant tickles. "Stop it, you stinky butt. Aaaaah Max," I yelled nearly crying.
"You better not roll your eyes at me," he said playfully. I stuck my tongue at him. He just chuckled at my childishness. I gently punched his arm. "You are so mean," I said acting angry. "You are such a baby," he said as he picked me up and placed me on the bed.
He laid next to me and stared at me. He smiled as he pushed a loose strand of hair off of my face. "I can't believe that we are actually together," I said truthfully as I stared back at him. "I wouldn't change this for anything," he said as he intertwined our fingers together and started playing with my engagement ring. "Aaw sho shweet," I said as I squeezed his cheeks.
He snaked his arms around my stomach and pulled me towards him. "So annoying," he said making me laugh. "Well you are stuck with this nuisance now, too bad," I said as I slipped out of his arms.
Just then, my phone started ringing and it was Eros. Picking it my phone up, I answered the incoming call. In the meanwhile, I walked into the walk-in closet. "Hey dumdum," I said as I answered. "Hi weirdo," he said making me chuckle. "What's up," I asked as I looked through my closet for a decent dress for tonight.
"All is going good. It's going great actually. I needed to tell you something," he said. I don't know why but I started getting nervous. "What? Did something happen," I said with a shaky voice. "Hey hey don't worry. It's good news. So you know how I want to go study in Greece right. Well I got a sponsor for my studies," he said excitedly. "Wha.. Oh holy crap, that's amazing Eros," I said as I felt an explosion of joy from within.

"So now you won't have to give me your saved up money. It's fully paid for me," he said. At that moment, I was so delighted that I almost started crying. "I am so happy for you. Oh by the way who is sponsoring your studies," I asked out of curiosity.
"Well Knight constructions," he said quietly that I almost didn't hear it. "Oh, anyways congratulations, dumdum. I'll see you tonight," I said. Eros said bye before hanging up.
Making my way out of the closet, I walked back into the bedroom. Max was back on his laptop working. "You are sponsoring Eros's studies," I blunted out with my arms crossed in front of me. "You don't have to do that you know," I said as I rubbed my forehead.
He sighed and placed his laptop on the nightstand. "Love, I am not sponsoring his studies just because he is your brother. He deserves to get the best higher education. He showed me his grades and he looks genuinely passionate about architecture. His sketches are brilliant. He just need the little help, that I'm willing to give him, in order for him to attain what he wants," he said as he pulled me towards him and making me sit on his lap.
"Thank you," I said feeling very grateful for all the things that he has done for me. He smiled at me and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. "But seriously since when do you have a construction company," I said looking at him with a frown.
He looked at me and chuckled. "Well little dove, we have all kinds of business. I have hotel lines, restaurant chains. There is also apartment complexes that own. We even have companies that develop games. And then we have the construction companies. Oh there is also the shipment business. That's it," he said oh so casually.
I looked at him with my mouth hanging open. "That's a lot. How do you manage all of them," I asked still dumbfounded by the new information. "I mange the game development companies and the hotels. The others are managed by CEOs that I appointed," he said as he hugged me.
"Wow I really know nothing about my fiancee," I said as I pouted. "Those things are not important. So stop beating yourself about it. Now go take a shower, we have to get going in an hour," he said and I nodded.
As I got up and started walking, I felt a sudden smack against my butt. "Heeey," I squealed as I rubbed my butt cheek. Max was laughing so hard on the bed. I glared at him before going into the bathroom.
After a nice relaxing shower, I dried myself with my towel and put on the bathrobe before going into the bedroom. I gasped as I saw a beautiful satin gown laying on the bed. I looked around for Max but he was no where to be found. He must have gone to take a shower.

I put on some light makeup and burgundy lipstick to match the gown. I slipped the dress on and walked to the huge mirror in the room. I looked at the long slit the showed my left leg. "Damn I look scandalous. I love it," I said to myself as I let my hair down from my bun. I feel so beautiful in this gown.
Just then, Max walked in and I watched him through the mirror. "You look so gorgeous," he said as he smirked looking at me. He looked so sexy in his suit. He even wore a burgundy tie to match with me. "You look devilish too, Mr Knight," I said as I took in his appearance.
He took my hand and pulled me towards him. He then crashed his lips against mine. I couldn't help but smile against his lips. How did I get so lucky?
"We better get going or else we won't be going at all," he said as we pulled away gasping for air. "Oh also, I need to get there quickly to make sure everything is good. Ethan is going to drive you there and you will be picking up your mom and Eros on the way," he said and I nodded.
After about half an hour, we reached my mom's house and they got in. "Hi mommy," I said as she got in followed by Eros. "Hey Dumdum, you don't look too shabby," I said as I looked at how adorable Eros looks with his tux on. "You look like the devil," he said making me roll me eyes. "I complimented you, you dumbo," I said as I hit his head.
Another half an hour later, we reached the venue where the launch was happening. There was a lot of people already and everyone was interacting with each other. I looked for Max but I guess he was making sure everything was good.
"Hey Delia," I heard from behind me. "Dereck, Jay," I squealed as I saw them. I hugged them and started talking along with mom and Eros.
Our attention was then pulled towards the stage when a man in black suit started talking. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It's a pleasure to have you all here with us today for the launching of Pegasus' work pieces," he said and everyone started clapping. "I am honored to present to you the amazing Pegasus," he said as he pointed to the right of the stage.
Pegasus walked out with his usual mask and voice modifier. "It is my greatest pleasure to have you all here tonight. These past few months have truly been a blessing to me. I got to meet the love of my life and I made her mine and she was the inspiration for my latest work. I would like to dedicate this launch to her because she is the greatest thing that happened to me," he said with his deep modulated voice.
I looked around the room again in search for Max who was no where to be seen. I started to get worried. Suddenly the spotlight was focused on wall that was covered with a huge curtain. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you my latest book 'With you' and my artwork called My Dove," he said.
I frowned as that's the endearment that Max uses. Just then, the curtain fell off, revealing eight art pieces. I gasped as I saw the painting. They were Max's paintings, the ones which he painted me. The paintings were the ones that didn't have my face exposed but I remember them from the other day.
Looking back at the stage, I looked at Pegasus standing there. His outfits was not the same as Max but he was definitely wearing the burgundy tie that matched my gown. "Max is Pegasus," I whispered to myself as I was in shock.
A few minutes passed by and I finally recovered from the shock. The boys and mom went to look at the paintings while I was still sitting at the table. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I swiftly turned and saw Max standing there in his suit. "Max," I said as I didn't really know what to say. "Surprise," he said as he took my hand and placed a kiss on the back of me.
"You were my savior. Your books saved me," I said as I was feeling my eyes water. "I love you, my dove," he said as he leaned down and kissed me passionately. When we pulled away, I stared into his brown eyes. "I love you my Pegasus," I said as I slipped my arms around his neck and pulled him back into another kiss.

LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER (Completed)
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 in Italy, and in 1929 in France and Australia. An unexpurgated edition was not published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960, when it was the subject of a watershed obscenity trial against the publisher Penguin Books. Penguin won the case, and quickly sold 3 million copies. The book was also banned for obscenity in the United States, Canada, Australia, India and Japan. The book soon became notorious for its story of the physical (and emotional) relationship between a working class man and an upper class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of then-unprintable words.
