Maximilian held Rose's face tenderly as he kissed her delicately with care.
At first she froze as her heart started beating faster, but then she started responding clumsily as she kissed him back.
After giving each other an amateur kiss for 20 seconds, they parted while looking at each other with heavy breathing.
After a few seconds, Rose spoke with a touch of grievance:
"That was my first kiss you jerk."
To which he replied while smirking:
"So? Didn't you like it?"
"Nope, Definitely not, 110% not." She lied while failing to hide her smile.
"Then I should get better, so you'll like it in the future."
"And how will you get better?" She asked in her sexy voice.
Max replied while slithering his hands towards her hips:
"They say practice makes perfect so I'll need a lot of practice."
After saying that, he grabbed her by the ass and brought her on his lap causing her to yelp in surprise.
After steadying herself by placing her hands on his strong shoulders, she asked in a trembling voice:
"W-what are you g-going to do?"
Seeing her quivering like that, his primal instincts to conquer and dominate were stoked and so he replied with desire:
"I am going to do a lot of practice."
Saying that, he kissed her with passion while hugging her.
At first, she put up a lot of resistance, but after a few more moments, she gave in to the kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck.
As he enjoyed himself while kissing her, he felt her soft breasts being pressed tightly against his chest which further stoked his desires.
He rubbed her soft back with his left hand while holding her face tenderly with his right one. All the while, kissing and nibbling on her lips with tender passion.
After a while, his hands explored her soft, bouncy ass through the jeans causing her to moan in pleasure in his mouth, allowing his tongue to invade her mouth.
As he dominated her tongue in her mouth while sloppily kissing her and exchanging his saliva with her, Max knew if he didn't stop here, he wouldn't be able to control himself and would definitely end up hurting her.
And so, with great difficulty, he was able to separate himself from her as he rested his forehead against hers while holding her tightly against himself.
After a few calming breaths, Max regained his composure as he looked at her enchanting face.
He held her face with his right hand, caressing her left cheek with his thumb while tenderly rubbing her lower back with his left hand.
She was also making these loving gestures as she ran her fingers over the back of his head while caressing his face with tender affection.
They looked at each other for a few moments before Max broke the silence:
"We should resume our earlier conversation during the dinner."
"Good idea, it'll be our first date." Rose replied with warmth.
"And it would be my absolute pleasure to go on a date with you, Your Highness."
"Great, so then it's settled." She declared enthusiastically.
And she then stood up from his lap with his support while continuing:
"I'm going to get ready. Wait for me a bit and I'll be back soon."
She then went to the bedroom and closed the room's door.
**********
Max waited for half an hour during which, he reflected upon his day while surfing the internet on his AR.
When the bedroom door opened, he was awestruck by her appearance as she walked out of the room.
She looked like a Goddess or a Fairy Princess stepped out of a fantasy novel in her alluring pink dress as he exclaimed with a 'Wow'.
She smiled shyly while trying to maintain her confidence by saying:
"Glad you like it."
To which he replied:
"What's not to like? You look breathtakingly beautiful."
"Aww thanks, and you look like a prince charming." She replied while adjusting a lock of hair behind her left ear.
And so after this exchange, Max extended his right hand for her to hold which she accepted as he then led her out of the room, towards the restaurant.
Arriving at the restaurant, they were promptly led to their table and Max held a chair for her as she took the seat comfortably, and then he got himself seated opposite to her.
A waiter arrived a few moments later as they were making a small talk and left after taking their orders.
They observed each other in a companionable silence which was broken by Rose who placed her elbows on the table and chin on her interlocked fingers as she stated:
"So earlier, when we were having a conversation and you said I could ask you anything."
"Yeah and then you interrupted me because you couldn't keep your hands off of me."
She rolled her eyes playfully at that as she continued:
"Yeah right. Anyways, Tell me about yourself. I don't know anything about you, except, that you are this very rich & handsome individual who has a mysterious vibe going on for him."
Maximilian chuckled at her words as he replied:
"Well, I am an orphan who grew up in the system, started working odd jobs at 13, got emancipated at the age of 16, attended a community highschool, along with working multiple shifts a day to pay for a decent college education."
She was stunned at this revelation as he continued:
"I just received a hefty family inheritance today on my 18th birthday."
"And I also accepted the arrangement of having multiple lovers as the prospect of having a loving relationship gives me a sense of comfort as I don't know what it's like to be loved."
After he finished speaking, there was a heavy silence between them that was broken by Rose:
"Wow, that's a lot to take in."
Max gave her a smile while saying: "Yeah"
"Happy birthday by the way."
"Thank you."
Then she spoke with warmth:
"Max, you really are great. With the kind of life you had before, I don't even know how I would cope in your situation."
"You'd be okay. Great even, I have zero doubts about that."
"Awwww, thank you. So anyways, you don't need to worry about feeling lonely with me being around. I'll always be there when you need me." She replied tenderly.
"Thanks Rose, I appreciate your words."
After a few moments of intimate silence while they looked into each other's eyes, Max spoke out:
"Well, I've spoken about myself, so now, why don't you tell me about yourself?"
"Okay, Let's see, as you know my name is Rose Mattsson. I'm 19 years old. I have a loving family with my mom, dad and a younger brother. I love music, reading and cute things."
"I was pursuing major in business administration while attending a state college. Now after moving to capital, I will be transferred to the University of Aerin while pursuing distance education."
"Okay, seems like you have a good life."
"Yes, I am very fortunate."
Then Maximilian asked the question that he was really eager to get answer to:
"So what do think about us being a couple and my agreement with you and other girls?"
Rose answered with a thoughtful expression:
"Well I guess it's kind of an arranged marriage between us. With foundation of our relationship built on mutual interests.
As I've received a billion dollars signing bonus, admission in the country's top university that I can attend at my leisure and various other perks.
And most importantly, my man is the most handsome and lovely person in the world."
He was thrilled to hear her answer as he replied:
"Well when you put it like that I'm indeed a catch."
Rose chuckled playfully as she continues:
"And regarding the other girls, I admit, I'm a bit jealous. Especially after getting to know you. But I can see why you want more people in your life."
"So I can only grudgingly accept it."
"Thank you Rose, for your understanding." Max replied with a caring voice, as he reached out across the table to hold her hand.
A few moments later, a waiter arrived with the dishes they ordered, interrupting them from their romantic conversation.
After the food was served, Rose raised her wine glass elegantly, to propose a toast:
"To the birthday boy, May all your birthdays from today be filled with joy and love."
To which Max also raised his glass:
"To the most radiant & exquisite lady I know, May your days be bright and lovely as you are."
"Awww, you are so sweet." Rose replied affectionately as he continued:
"And to us, To starting a new wonderful life together."
After that, they clinked their glasses together, took a sip of delicious wine and had their meal.
