Deanna was thinking as she sorted out the different files of papers Max had lying around in his office. She began to wonder what exactly he really wanted out of this possible relationship. He didn’t seem the type to mess around with a person without having a reason and plan behind it. Though he had basically eluded to the fact, he had not had any relationships in the past few years and zero ones with any students. He wanted something from her. It was there every time he looked at her. Every stolen kiss. He wanted something, and she didn’t know what.

Deanna had no practical experience when it came to dealing with men. She had dated before, but after a few dates, they lost interest in her. She had started to believe she was just too boring to really date. Being driven to want to do good things to prepare for life after college had given her a label of being prudish. She really hadn’t found any

    As the day progress, he finished his paperwork for the week with the detective job. Unless something major came up, he was left with giving his three lectures on Thursday and the last three on Friday, which he was planning on Deanna sitting in the classes to introduce herself to the class and also so she could learn the class over again. He was looking forward to hearing her analyze the new class from the old one. As a scientist, she would be on the one to compare the two and find though the assignments from the newer class were more detailed, and there was a paper required every week the class she took was more in-depth and more detailed.He had been thinking that there should be a follow up to this class and thought maybe he could work it in at some point, but again he was at a loss when it came to getting anything done with the school. If he was going to continue being a professor, he knew he had to make s

    “Don’t you think that might be a tad too much?” Deanna asked as she looked up at him. “I mean, we have to work together, now I will be living in your house, and.”“And it is our house currently with you living here as well.” He cut her off. “No, I want you out of that place, and I will be helping you get out of there as quickly as possible.”“You know you are rushing things, right?” she laughed. “Most people don’t ask someone to move into to their house buy trying to cut the rent in half that they are paying.”“You can do other things around the house to make up for the lack of money. Hell, I really don’t want your money, but I figured you would be stubborn and require to pay something to make it fair.”

    Max looked at the door and went to it. His mother had taken a step into the yard. She looked at Deanna and didn’t know what to say to her. As Max opened the door and walked in. He saw the state of the house. Though it was perfectly fine on the outside of the house, the inside looked like a hoarder's dream. His mother had never been a collector of anything as long as he could remember. Neither had been his father. The sight was something he couldn’t believe.Max walked back into the back of the house. He was walking through the hallway to get back there. He was shocked when he reached the room that they used as a rec room. There was more in there, and he went to the bedrooms. He went to the one that his brother had and somehow wasn’t surprised when he opened the door and found his parent's things in it. He stalked to the master bedroom and threw open the door.“

    “Can you repeat that?” Max asked as he blinked a few times. He had to make sure he had heard her correctly.“She thinks you are married,” Deanna repeated as she looked at him. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had to say something, but again, he was at a loss for words.“I’m not.” He said as he looked down. “I have never been married.”“I figured.” She said as she laughed a bit, “I think your brother told them something to the effect.”“They never said anything to me,” Max said as he started toward the house. He walked in and looked at his mother. “I’m not married.”“You’re aren’t?” his mother said as she blinked her eyes wide now.

    They were both exhausted by the time they got back to the house. Neither of them had thought about eating since mid-day, and as they pulled up to the house, Deanna’s stomach let out a huge growl. To which he turned to her and laughed, “I will order something to eat. After your classes tomorrow we will go and get some food. Thursday, when we start moving some of your stuff here, it will fall into a normal schedule.”“I guess.” She said as she got out of the car. She didn’t want to say anything, but she was tired as the adrenaline had worn off, and her face hurt. She was a little dizzy, as well. She couldn’t tell if it was from not eating something, or it was from the hit she took. She didn’t want to upset him or get him going on about what she did and how it was rather dumb. She had known at the time that if things got bad, he woul

    As his hand closed around hers, she turned slightly to hide the smile forming. She knew this was the easiest decision she had made during the night. He was the one who wanted to completely overwhelm her, but at the same time, he wanted to do everything right and slow enough to not rush her. She knew somethings you just had to do when the time was right. This was the right time.She led him through the small room to the shower there. She reached inside and turned on the water first to bring it to a temperature that would add to the room with the steam. His eyes were confused and clouded at first when he looked at her doing this.Max was beyond feeling any normal emotion. His mind was reeling around in a fog. He couldn’t remember the last time he had a woman in front of him who looked at him the way she did right now. Her small hand still wrapped in his it was the only thing that

    Slowly but surely, he made his way down her body as she let the feelings come over her in waves. Every place that he touched burned with a wanting. It would send sparks throughout her entire body. The pleasure boarding on sweet pain was causing her skin to begin to sweat. He was moving his body as well. Placing a little more weight on one side as he moved his mouth or hands to a new spot. She was trying to remain still, but she would find herself writhing under his hands. He seemed to enjoy it more if she didn’t hide the sounds that at first, she was trying to stifle. Now Deanna was beginning to sound like her own version of a porn movie. The moans and screams were becoming louder and more guttural. Max seemed to enjoy everything more when she let one out.When he reached the apex of her thighs. He had to push her legs open so he could nestle his body to sit in between them. Her resistance was slightly

    When he could remember what the unusual feeling was that he was lying on her still his face buried in the crook of her neck, he knew he had to move. One of her hands was rubbing his back softly and the other in his hair. He lifted up slightly and looked down at her.“Are you okay?” he asked softly as he kissed her on the nose as he started to move off of her. He looked at her and saw the change in her eyes in the low light of the room.“Fine.” She said with a soft smile.“How long was I out?” he asked as he began to move. He saw the slight wince from her, and he knew that she would be sore. Though he wanted to be super gentle with her, there was nothing he could do to erase all the pain she would feel. He was not an expert with virgins. He avoided the idea as he did most things. His first experience had not been great, and t

    Max enjoyed the time they had when it was just the four of them doing the normal things a young family would do. When they got home every day it was a simple process for her to start dinner and then do some of the things around the house that needed to be done. She had a schedule for everything and she would start a load of laundry. Go into the bathrooms and spray them done for it to be rinsed off and wiped down at a later time. She kept the house looking pretty well despite the fact they had a toddler that liked to spread his toys nearly every where throughout the house.Max would get down on the floor and play with Henry or take the kids outside for some fresh air. After they ate dinner they would settle in for a show on the tv as he held one of the kids and she did the other. Then it was time for baths and bedti

    The rest of the day they worked side by side knowing that the storm being on the horizon for some time. They also knew the love they had found in the simple setting of the office they shared during the day and their house at night would sustain them for the rest of their days if they let it. There would be times they had to fight but there would more times to love each other and the two children they both loved.Battles were headed their way and Max knew as he looked at Deanna that there was nothing more he could do to love her but he would fight for her until the day he died. A student who had turned his head so many years ago was the reason for him to go on with his life. There was nothing that was more important than she was to him.

    A few days later, they were in the basement office. Deanna looked across the desk to see Max, who was talking to Michelle in his arms as she held Henry on her lap. She had been thinking of the past few days and how she had the chance to grieve her sister’s loss and even the ones she had thought of as her parents only because of Max’s help. That Monday, she had been able to make it to the couch and not much further. Max had kept the children close so he could keep up with their demands as well as being there to dry her tears, make her laugh again, and, most importantly, be her rock in this sea that had become her life.The day they started to bring all the children’s stuff into the building, people did a double-take. She had hoped he wouldn’t make a big deal about everything, but he didn&rsqu

    “Well, Deanna, I mean that isn’t the rudest thing you have said when picking up the phone,” Indie said as Deanna could hear the self-righteous tone take over. It was the same one her mother had used throughout her life when Deanna had stood up for herself and wanted to go her own way instead of the one her mother had planned out for her. Now she knew it had to be to cover up how she really was, mentally disturbed and controlling. “I wanted to discuss Mother and Father’s services with you, and then we will have to talk about Justine’s at a later date.”“Indie, you don’t have to discuss anything with me about the services I won’t be going to any one of them except Justine’s,” Deanna said, and it felt like a weight was lifted off her chest.

    Her phone started ringing constantly. She was trying to ignore it with everything that she was, but when Max picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, he tossed the phone to her. “If you ignore everyone, they will keep calling.”“I don’t want to talk to them,” Deanna said as she put the phone on the table as she went back to watching television with Henry snuggled up next to her.“Then let me talk to them,” Max said as he picked up the phone.“Go right ahead.” Deanna laughed. Max looked at the phone.“Hello?” he

    The four of them sat together on the couch for what seemed to be hours just enjoying the relative quiet. It was Deanna who finally broke the silence. “I can’t go to the funerals for my parents.”“We don’t have to think about that right now,” Max said as he rubbed her back as she snuggled into his side a bit more. “Right now, nothing is planned, and you don’t have to even think about it.”“The rest of them will make a big deal about it,” Deanna said with a sigh as she looked up at him. “This is such a mess. I can’t do it though whether I say it now, or later I refuse to go.”

    Deanna helped Max bring everything into the house from the car’s truck after he brought Henry in, and She had unlatched the baby’s car seat and started to bring it in. She looked down at the baby, and she smiled softly as she knew everything in her life had been turned upside down, and nothing was what it seemed. Though they knew that she could be stunted in ways right now, she was perfect.“What’s going on in that beautiful mind of yours?” Max said as she put the baby down in the middle of the floor, still in her car seat.“Max, we went from just us to now the four of us in a matter of days.
