Please promise to visit again."His mother and sister had come back from their trip in the wee hours of the morning just like Max had said and for some reason, they were kinda upset that she was leaving.Well, she had come to like them and had gotten used to them. She knew deep down that she would miss them terribly.They were such kind people and she had come to grow fond of them. If she still had a mother, she was pretty sure that things would be like this between them as well.As much as she was happy with their bond, she was equally jealous as well.Christina held her by the arm and pulled her in for a hug. "Of course, Patty. I can't promise but I'll try.""Are you okay sweetheart?" Max's mother asked out of the blue, taking her by surprise. "Your face looks dull. Didn't you sleep well?"Christina forced a smile, making sure that she doesn't try to make eye contact wit
That was the only warning Christina got; That growl before he crushed their lips together. She shuddered, not knowing what to do as he drank her lips over and over again.With shaky hands that were inexperienced, she placed it on his chest as she ran her palms down the sleek brawn and sinew of his chest.His skin felt like velvet, the hardness of his muscles a perfect contrast. So hot, so powerful.She pulled apart with a small whimper, her eyes searching his but he didn't let it stay that way for long.Letting her hands fall back to grip the bed sheets, he held her with both hands to lock her in, he inched closer and re-captured her lips again.Christina felt blood shoot up from her core and burst into a sweet, unexplainable ache. This feeling was all new to her and for some reason, it marvelled her.Max mated with her tongue, gliding and sucking on her tongue till she was almost out of breath but he didn't stop, neither did he relent.He teased, nibbled on her lips, making sure to s
Christina woke up to the warm rays of sunlight streaming through the curtain binds of her room. She rolled out of bed only to see that the day has progressed while she was knocked out cold."Goodness!" She muttered under her breath and rose to her feet. How could she have slept for so long and why didn't anyone wake her up?Sliding her feet into her slippers, she headed out of her bedroom and made her way towards Max's room. She found the house surpassingly quiet with no signs of Patty or his mother.Come to think of it, she didn't see them last night when she got back and she had been too broken in her emotions to even bother to ask. Where could everybody have gone?She approached Max's door and after knocking, he permitted her to come inside."Good morning." His face lit up when he saw her at the door looking like a beautiful radiant sunrise that had come to brighten up his day."You're working?" It was more of a statement than a question when she saw the littered papers on his desk
Max stirred up to something heavy pressed against his chest. He tried moving both his hands but found it unable to do so.To make matters worse, they were numb. His entire body felt like something a train had run over. He doesn't remember being this tired when he slept last night so what happened?Forcing his eyes open, his blurry orbs took in the almost luminous room and that's when he realized that he wasn't in his room.Memories from last night came crashing in and just as he tried to force himself awake, someone purred softly and tightened her grip on his shirt as she pushed herself closer to him.Memories from last night came rushing in like waves. He had remembered staying up with her all night and keeping her company because she didn't want him to leave.Moments after she fell asleep, he had cuddled up with her because he didn't want to stir her awake by leaving. He didn't even know when he fell asleep and the rest is history.Max stared down to see Christina clinging to him li
"When those men tried to touch me, all I kept thinking about was, what if?" She started, wiping the tears that clung to her face like a second skin."I kept asking myself what if it happens again. I felt so helpless and that's what has been eating me out." She scraped off her nails aggressively as she tried to curb her emotions."If it weren't for you, I honestly don't know what could've happened Max and that thought alone keeps scaring me." Burying her face in her palm, she cried loudly but he didn't stop her.Each time he tried to reach out to her, he stopped himself because he didn't want to scare her.She was visibly shaking and he had noticed the stiff tension in the air in the car prior to this conversation so he knew that whatever she was going through, whatever demons she was trying to fight for so long were too big a burden that she had been carrying alone.It pained him to see her like this. Something inside him stirred just watching her cry. He felt unsheathed rage; like he
"There, all done." The nurse commented after she was done cleaning off the bruise on Max's fists.He had tried to get her to seek help first but she was adamant that they attended to him before they did to her and not wanting to upset her any more than she already was, he decided to go with what she wanted.If doing this would put her mind at ease and give her peace even for a moment then he would gladly do so without any complaints.Besides, another reason why he didn't want to upset her was because deep down, he felt a little guilt that he had left her all alone when he had promised to wait for her.It was still eating out at it. He couldn't help but imagine what would've happened if he came just a few minutes later than he did.He had wanted to get her candy floss because he saw how she had ogled at it all evening and thought it would be a fun way to end their night only to come back to such horror.He'd never had been able to forgive himself if something bad had truly happened to
