Okay, so it's several hours later, but I still got it.
Sorry, but it seems the site to get the Greek transliterations is down, so I couldn't get the word for baby, which Max tenderly calls Liz towards the end of this part, oh well.
Ashley- That's exactly what I was thinking about Max being weak!!! Yes I do get it!
Me either! Not!
Okay, I'll let my boyfriend slide IF he gets me flowers!
Yeah, you got a point! Loved the 'business' suits he's wearing and that coat!
Oh the things I wanna do to that man!
roswell- hurrying
behrly- here she goes again...
candycane- I was trying, but it keeps messing up! Still working on it though.
POM- here I am again.
La'Shon- That's soooo true! Oh I love you! That's exactly what I've been thinking of both of them all along!
Alex-
Lu- He doesn't want to 'complicate' his life.
Yes. Thanks.
shattered-
Nothing, she was just staring and suddenly she gets hit by all these images. Yep.
Okay, without further ado....the next part...
Part 8
Liz stared at Max as he finished explaining about vampires, covens, leaders, and his role in it all. She let the last of the information sink in, feeling the shivers going up her spine. Swallowing, she found her voice, “So, what you’re saying is that I can be converted.”
Max nodded, “Yes. Once the ritual to make you my syndeo is completed.”
“Can anybody be your syndeo?”
“No, only you.”
“How did you know it was me?”
“I mated with you.”
She frowned, “Wait. Are you saying the only way you found out I was your syndeo was to have sex with me?”
He nodded, “Yes.” At the look on her face he continued, “I know it sounds weird, but remember, we don’t get diseases like humans do. And the only way we find our syndeo is to mate with them. There’s a bond that forms between us, one that only the two omologia can feel. Once that bond forms, it allows us to complete the ritual to become connected for eternity.”
“But you said that we were bonded and the only way for it to break is if one of us dies.”
“That’s true.”
“Then why another ritual?”
“Think of it in human terms. A couple gets engaged right? That’s the omologia part. Then the marriage is the syndeo part. We are bonded right now, omologia or engaged. We can complete the ritual to be connected, syndeo or married. Understand?”
“But if we were thinking in human terms, an engagement can still be broken.”
“True. That’s where we are different. The bond we share is unbreakable because of the blood we shared.”
“We shared blood?” Liz squeaked.
Max simply looked at her as she closed her eyes and let all those images play in her mind again. All of it was beginning to make sense. She could see them clearly now. How he’d drank from her. How he’d used some sort of command to make her drink from him.
She looked at him, “And that’s why I have trouble eating right? Because I’m becoming like you.”
“There are some changes happening yes, but you won’t become like me until I convert you. What’s happening right now is essentially like a change in diet. There’s only certain things you can eat now because you have my blood in you. Just like there’s certain things that I can still eat.”
“And the reason I’m sensitive to sunlight?”
“Diet affects your body’s chemical balance. To compensate, other parts of your body may be affected. Hence the reason you are now sensitive to sunlight.”
“Okay. So if the bond is there because we shared blood, won’t it fade if we didn’t share it?”
“No. Once shared, we are bonded for life. It’s the same principle when we have to initiate a human helper. The only difference is they don’t drink our blood, we just drink theirs. It allows us to have that tie to them. A bonded pair ties each to the other. That’s why it only breaks when one of us dies.”
“What happens to the survivor?”
“They’ll still live, but it’s like being half alive. The other half is gone, so it’s not really easy. Most omologia survivors tend to survive for only a short time afterwards. The grief and loneliness eventually consumes them.”
Liz swallowed, “Suicide?”
“Sometimes. Sometimes they just fade away into nothing. Sometimes they get careless and some kind of accident happens.”
“Gee, this really doesn’t sound encouraging you know.”
Liz was surprised to see a smile appear on his face, “I know. But some of us believe the perks of being with your omologia far outweigh what happens if you lose one another. That’s why most omologia don’t stay that way for long. It’s why most tend to move on to the syndeo ritual as soon as possible that way they won’t have to go through that pain.”
“And syndeo means?”
“Connect. We would be connected.”
“So a connection could be broken?”
“No. A bond is broken when one dies, the other lives on alone and with grief. In a connection, if one dies so does the other.”
Liz’s eyes went wide, “What! How is that better than the other?”
“No one is left behind to suffer. Don’t you see? I would rather die with the one I loved than have to go on living without them. It’s less painful that way. We would die together, never alone.”
Liz stared at Max as he said that. The look on his face told her everything. In that moment she understood what he was saying. He would die for her. They didn’t really know each other all that well yet, but Max was already telling her that he loved her enough to die for her. It floored her. What was she supposed to say to that?
Max sat watching her. He could see the emotions passing over her face. She was digesting everything he’d told her and surprisingly she seemed to be taking it well. The fact that she was still sitting next to him instead of screaming and running for the door said she was trying to accept everything he was saying.
Liz stared at the desk and thought about what Max said. He was a vampire, but not the Hollywood version. A lot of what he said made sense, especially because it explained the strange things she’d noticed happening lately. It also explained why she seemed to have gaps in her memory and why she couldn’t always remember everything. Still, some things seemed too far fetched even for the new vampire myths he was telling her. Like the bond and connection thing. She found it hard to believe that if he died, she’d go on, but she’d feel like half of her was missing. So much so that she’d eventually die herself. And she found it impossible to believe that if they were connected and Max died, she’d just keel over no matter where she was or what she was doing. That sounded way to weird, especially since she wasn’t certain how she really felt about him.
Okay, even she could admit that he was incredibly good-looking and she was definitely attracted to him, but that was physical. At least she thought it was. Then again, she had liked the way it had felt when he’d held her while she’d cried. He was the one she’d been trying to get away from but she’d felt safe and comfortable in his arms. Even now as she sat next to him, she didn’t feel threatened or afraid. She knew she’d seen his darker side several times, but when he’d told her about what he did as the Archigos, she could see why he was the way he was. He’d only had to worry about his coven, never about his lover, so of course he was having trouble adjusting. Heck, even she was having trouble adjusting too.
Sighing, she looked at him once more and asked, “So, what is the ritual for becoming your syndeo?”
“It’s much like a wedding and honeymoon combined. We say vows to each other while making love. I would say them first and you would drink from me to signify your acceptance. Then you would say the words and I’d drink from you. At our climax, we’d seal the connection by saying together that we accept it.”
“And that would seal the connection?”
“Yes.”
“Somehow I thought there would be more.”
“Trust me, we would feel it. It’s not something I can explain, but I’m told that we would both feel it. I felt it when we bonded.”
She stared at him, “What did you feel?”
“You. I can feel you even now. Inside of me. And if I wanted to, I could read your mind. You can read mine too.”
Her eyes went wide, “I cannot!”
He smiled, “How did you know my name then?”
She gasped. Then decided to see if he was telling the truth. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on opening her mind and thinking of Max. When she thought she saw blurry images, she tried to form a question in her mind asking him how old his sister was.
Isabel is 423 years old. Her mate, Alex is 454.
Her eyes snapped open. “She’s 423!”
He chuckled, “Yes.”
“And Alex is her syndeo?”
“No, they are just a mated pair. Just like two humans would be if they were married. They don’t share a bond or a connection at all. But they do love each other.”
Liz frowned, “What would happen if one of them found their omologia?”
Max shrugged, “That may never happen. If it does, they could try to resist it and stay together. It’ll be up to them.”
“So you could have chosen to not bond with me.”
Max stared at her for a moment as he let those words sink in. Technically yes, but there was something about her. He lifted his hand to caress her cheek as he looked into her eyes, “I could have tried to resist. But I have been alone for centuries, Liz. Why would my soul want to continue being alone when its other half was right in front of it?”
Oh he was good. She had to give him that. But as she continued to stare into his bright amber eyes, she knew the truth of it. There hadn’t been anyone for him ever. He’d never loved anyone before her. So, who could blame him for going ahead and bonding them to each other if this was the chance he had to not be alone again. She’d had boyfriends before.
In fact, she’d only broken up with her last boyfriend a few months ago. He’d left her because she was too ambitious and head strong for him to handle. It wasn’t the first time Liz had scared off a guy because they thought she was too independent for them. She had told herself she was used to it, but she wasn’t. She had thought she was in love with Doug, but looking back, she knew it was what she’d made herself believe because like everyone else, she hadn’t wanted to be alone.
She nodded, “Fine, but can you understand that I’m not sure how I feel about you. I mean in my world, we just don’t take one look at someone and say ‘you know, I’m going to marry that person tomorrow’. We go out on dates and get to know that person. Then many, many dates and years later, we decide if marriage is right for us.”
Max nodded, “I know that, but that’s the human world, Liz. In my world it’s the bond that tells us who we will be with forever.”
Liz rolled her eyes, “That’s your world. I’m human remember. So, I have to get to know the guy I’m dating before I decide it’s going to go anywhere.”
“You’re in my world now. You feel the bond Liz, even you can’t deny that.”
“Whether I feel the bond or not Max, I can’t just accept it. My human mind won’t let me.”
He gritted his teeth, “We don’t have a choice. You can’t leave me.”
“I get that. I’m just saying you have to allow me to get to know you before we take this any further.”
Glaring at her, he hissed, “We’re already bonded. We can’t go back. Ever!”
“Max, I just want to get to know you.”
“You will. But we don’t have to wait for that to continue the ritual.”
She sighed, “I want to wait.”
“Why? We’ll be together regardless.”
“Can you just humor my human way of thinking?”
Standing up, Max growled as he began pacing in front of the couch. He’d hoped she wouldn’t do this to him. If she had been a vampire like him, he’d have already connected her to him. Once a couple found out they were bonded, they usually completed the connection immediately afterwards. Mainly because no bonded pair wanted to ever experience the pain they would if one of them died.
And being the Archigos of his coven, Max knew the dangers he faced. He also knew the dangers Liz would face if any enemy of his found out he had a human omologia. She would be the best way to defeat him. Kill her and he would be defeated. It was worse because she was human with no way of defending herself. It was why he wanted to connect her to him, then convert her. At least then she would be able to defend herself since she would have the same capabilities he had because of his blood.
Turning to face her, he said, “If I allow this, you have to agree not to leave this house unless I’ve given you permission to do so.” He held his hand up before she could protest, “No, you have to understand that it’s not because I’m keeping you prisoner. It’s because you are my omologia and I am the Archigos of my coven. I have enemies out there and you are the best way to get to me. As long as you remain human, you are defenseless against them. If you need to leave the house, you will go with me or with my guards. Never alone. And it’s not just me who is going to order this, Liz. Once my people find out about you, they will protect you with their lives. None of them will allow you to go anywhere alone. My sanity and my life depend on your safety and my people are not willing to lose me just because of your human sensibilities.”
Liz pursed her lips together in a tight line at the commanding tone he gave her. She resisted the urge to snap at him, but she knew he was right. She was in his world now and if the others were capable of doing things like he was, then she was definitely not going to survive it if one of them attacked her. She nodded, “Fine. I won’t leave without your permission.”
“Good.”
Silence fell between them as they tried to calm their tempers down. Liz was the first one to recover.
“Since I want to get to know you, tell me Max, what do you like to do in your spare time.”
Max gave her a blank stare, “Spare time?”
Liz rolled her eyes, “Gee, this is going to be so easy.”
Over the next few days Max did his best to let Liz get used to him and his world. Liz knew she couldn’t leave the house and she made no attempt to, but there were several things she had made Max agree to. One of which was they couldn’t sleep together any more until she was comfortable enough with him.
Max reacted to that just like Liz had known he would. He’d growled and raged about how it shouldn’t make a difference since they had already been intimate from the beginning and she already was his. No matter what Liz had said, he’d refused to stay away from her until Liz had told him that while she understood his life was dependant on hers, her life wasn’t dependant on his. She could leave or she’d die trying. That had made him back off. She knew he wasn’t happy about it, but he had respected her wishes.
The other thing Max had to do was to make an effort to get to know her, to court her just like most men would do if they were interested in pursuing a woman. While that wasn’t difficult for Max to do, it was difficult for him to keep his hands to himself. Liz had no idea what he was having to do to keep himself under control. She didn’t know how many times he fought the battle within himself to keep from taking control of her like he’d done in the past. She was oblivious to the fact that there were things she did that made him want to bend down and devour her regardless of the consequences.
Isabel knew what Max was going through. She knew because Max had asked her to come over and get to know Liz, in an effort to help Liz get used to her new life. She knew what sacrifices Max was making for Liz’s sake. She knew that Max was also putting his health at risk by staying away from Liz. Max wasn’t taking blood from Liz any longer since she had asked him to stay away from her, but that meant he wasn’t taking blood from anyone. Isabel knew this and asked Max to go feed from someone else. Max refused. He wanted Liz and no one else. He would be patient. She would relent soon.
Liz welcomed Isabel’s company when she wasn’t spending time getting to know Max. Liz spent many a night in her favorite room, the domatio ilios, talking to Isabel and Alex. She even finally got to meet their daughter, Vanessa, who was 106 years old, but didn’t look or act a day over seventeen. It was through them and any of the others she met that she learned more about Max besides what she learned from being with Max himself.
Liz had finally met Michael, Max’s second in command. He was in charge of security for all of them. He had been the one to explain to Liz why there were so many guards around them when Max had taken her to visit the Whitman’s. He even confirmed Liz’s suspicion that they used mind speech to be able to know exactly what positions to be in all during that night. Of them all, Michael was the most like Max, in that he didn’t show much emotion even though he was only 213.
During the day, Liz didn’t go out much since the sun light tended to bother her eyes and skin. She tended to sleep late since she was up most of the night with Max and the others. However, she did get up sometimes and she spent it talking to the humans that worked around the house. She had tried several times to go to the domatio ilios during the day, but since it was literally like a green house, she couldn’t tolerate the brightness of it. Only on overcast days could she sit in there without suffering.
It became incredibly easy for Liz to see how much Max genuinely cared for her. It was in the words everyone she met said. She saw it in the way he treated her. He allowed her to see every aspect of his life, including his work. She would sit with him in his office at times and watch as he went about conducting business, whether it be by electronic device or with physical presence.
Then he had shown her the place where he slept during the day light hours. He showed her how to access his bedroom from the office. By pressing the indention in the bookshelf and waiting for it to slide away, she walked down the stairs with him into the bedroom that looked almost identical to the one she slept in.
She saw the computer workstation he had, which he told her was where he did business during the day light hours. She also saw the smaller dining table and the mirror that was on the wall instead of balcony doors. Liz also noticed that this closet was full of his clothes, unlike the nearly empty closet upstairs. But what amazed her was the fact that the closet also housed all of the clothes that the seamstresses had made for her, every one of them in every shade of red imaginable.
Grinning she had asked Max if he had a thing for the color red. He’d simply grinned back and said he loved it on her, then he’d gotten all serious again and told her he hoped she would come stay with him soon.
It had been a week and two days since Max had told the truth to Liz. In that time, the two of them had gotten much closer. Liz was able to see how Max lived and what he was like. She also noticed how he treated her when he wasn’t being all possessive and demanding. All of the times Max seemed normal, he would treat her as if she were something precious to him. She saw the way he adored her when he would smile at the kisses she gave him or did something he knew she liked to surprise her. She saw the way he cared for her when he would ask if she was okay, if she needed anything, or simply asked how her day was.
But the most telling thing was when the two of them went out together to attend public functions for either his businesses or another coven. Sometimes the Whitman’s attended these functions with them. It was during those functions that Liz saw how sought after Max was. Isabel had explained how the Aristomache coven was considered one of the most powerful covens around, so it only stood to reason that many wanted to become a part of that coven.
What better way for a single woman to get in than to go after the most powerful of them all. At that time, Max was still considered to be single since he had not connected to Liz yet and she was still human. Max wanted to wait until he had connected to Liz before he made the announcement that he was no longer single. Liz knew it was because he wanted to keep her protected.
Since no one knew that Max wasn’t single, women tended to throw themselves at him. Liz couldn’t help but notice how he didn’t pay attention to a single one of them and tended to act as if Liz was the only woman in the room. Liz was amazed that with all the really beautiful, nice, or intelligent women that flirted with Max, he still didn’t acknowledge anyone but her.
Liz was in the domatio ilios that night, nine days after he’d told her the truth, when Isabel came in to see her. Sitting in a chair and gazing out at the night sky, she turned to smile at Isabel as she sat in the chair next to her.
“Stopped in to see Max before coming up here, Iz?”
“Yes. I wanted to see how he was doing before coming to talk to you.”
“Oh.” She looked at Isabel with a puzzled frown, “Something wrong?”
Isabel sighed, “There’s something you should know about Max. Something he doesn’t want you to know, but I’m going to tell you anyway because I don’t want him to suffer anymore.”
Now Liz was sitting up and giving Isabel all of her attention, “What is it, Isabel?”
“Max hasn’t been taking care of himself the way he should.”
“What do you mean? He seems fine.”
“I know he does, but he isn’t Liz. Did you know Max hasn’t eaten in almost 10 days.”
“I thought you didn’t…”
“I’m not talking food, Liz. He hasn’t taken blood.”
Her frown deepened, “How often is he supposed to have it?”
“He could get away with about four days, but to remain as powerful as he is supposed to, then he needs to eat every day.”
“Okay, then, did you ask him why he’s not eating?”
Isabel nodded, but didn’t say anything else.
Liz stared at her waiting for an answer until it dawned on her what Isabel was hinting at. Her eyes went wide, “Me? He’s not eating because of me?”
“Yes.”
“What? Is he waiting for me to say that I want to be his syndeo before he ever eats again? Is this his ultimatum to me?”
Isabel sighed, “Liz, he wants you. Don’t you get it. It was you. Now he won’t take from anyone else but you and since you asked him to stay away from you, he’s doing that. Even if it means he’s risking his health!”
Liz couldn’t help lifting a hand to her neck to touch the pulse resting there. She couldn’t believe what Isabel was telling her. Max was waiting for her to tell him they could be intimate again before he ever nourished himself again. From what Isabel said, Max could have gotten what he needed from another human, but even as that thought went through her head, Liz suddenly realized she didn’t want to ever think of Max with anyone else. Max wanted her, he was waiting for her! And she knew she wanted him.
She looked at Isabel and nodded, “I get it Isabel. Okay, I’ll talk to him tonight. I promise.”
Isabel sighed, “Please do. Tell him to stop being so stubborn
and take care of himself. He needs to eat, Liz. And I think you are the only one to be able to convince him to do it. You have to get him to take nourishment from someone, drag him to a human if you have to. Just make him do it soon, ten days is way too long for him to go without nourishment.”
“I know. I’ll talk to him.”
Isabel thought Liz was going to convince Max to stop waiting for her and go get his nourishment elsewhere. Liz had something else entirely different in mind.
After Isabel had left and most everyone else had retired for the night, Liz made her way down to Max’s office where she knew he would be still working. Knocking on the door, she waited until she heard his voice before going in.
Max was at his desk, working on his computer when she walked in. He looked up at her with a smile as she walked around the desk to his side. He slid his arm around her waist and she leaned down to give him a kiss on the lips before he let her go.
Liz walked to the bookcase as Max asked, “What are you still doing up, akribos?”
She turned around and leaned against the bookcase, giving him a smile, “I wanted to talk to you about something that’s on my mind.”
Max immediately saved what he was working on and shut down his computer before turning to Liz and asking, “What’s on your mind, dikos mou agapo?”
“Well, I was wondering if you would tell me how exactly you would go about converting a human into a vampire.”
Max frowned, “You want to know how you would be converted?”
“Yes. How would you do it, Max?”
Even Liz could see the hesitation in Max as he sat there trying to figure out how to tell her. She knew it was really the only thing he hadn’t just told her about his world and she had a suspicion that he hadn’t told her because he was worried that it would scare her and she wouldn’t go through with it.
“Max, just say it. I want to know the truth. What will I have to go through?”
He sighed and nodded, “Okay.” He took her hand and lead her to the couch. Sitting down and taking her hand, he looked into her eyes as he began to explain.
“First, we begin by letting you drink some of my blood, so your body can get ready to accept the change. Once you’ve drank enough, I have to drink from you. Until all of your blood is drained and your heart begins to stutter.” He paused for a moment before going on, “Then I give you more of my blood until the change begins to take place. Once it begins, you will…”
Liz watched as Max closed his eyes and swallowed. She squeezed his hand to encourage him to go on. “It’s okay, Max. Just say it.”
When he opened his eyes, Liz could see the pain there, “You will die, Liz.” His voice cracked, “And I will have to bury you. And you have to stay there for a few nights. On the fourth night, I take you out and command you to awaken. When you awaken, you will be as I am.”
Liz just sat there for a few moments looking at Max. She could still see the pain in his eyes and she wondered if Max was really afraid she wouldn’t go through with it. She couldn’t understand why he would be.
“Max, I would be dead when you buried me right? I mean, I wouldn’t be conscious when you put me in the ground, would I?”
“No, you wouldn’t know.”
“And when I die, is it going to be painful or gross in any sort of way?”
“No, I’ve heard it just feels like you are getting tired or sleepy. The worst thing would be you feeling really cold because of the loss of blood, but that’s all.”
She nodded, “Okay, then. It doesn’t sound so bad.”
“Maybe not, but Liz, once you do, you can never go back.”
“I know Max.” She looked away for a moment before looking back at him, “I would have to drink blood to survive won’t I?”
He nodded, “I would provide for you, of course.”
“And what about you Max? Who provides for you?”
“I would provide for both of us.”
Liz frowned, “So you would drink enough for both of us and I would take what I needed from you?”
“Yes.”
“Well,” she grinned, “That hardly seems fair, Max.”
“What do you mean?”
“You get to bite whoever you want to, but I’m only going to get to bite you.”
Max frowned, “Liz, I..” he stopped as he watched the way her eyes twinkled. She was teasing him and it had taken him that long to realize it. “You know you are the only one I want to bite, oraios.”
Liz chuckled, “But if you bite me, then I won’t be beautiful anymore.”
“Of course you will, I’ll make sure not to leave any marks.” With that, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Brushing his lips against hers, he whispered, “I can promise you that I’ll only feed from males and I’ll do it as quickly as I can, so I won’t have to keep you waiting, baby.”
She giggled as she slid her hands into his hair, “Max?”
“Hmm?” He asked as he dipped his head to her neck.
“Will you bite me now?”
Max jerked his head up to look into her eyes, “What?”
“I want you to feed, Max.” She caressed his cheek and said, “I want you to feed and I want to be completely aware when you do it.”
“Are you sure?”
She nodded, “Yes. I want to be with you again Max. I miss you.”
Max closed his eyes, letting her words wash over him. She had missed him. How he had been waiting for this. He nodded and took her hand. Helping her up, he led her to the bookshelf and then down the stairs to his room.
Once they were standing next to the bed, Max hesitated once more, so Liz took the initiative.
She leaned in, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and kissed him. She closed her eyes as he slid his arms around her waist, savoring the taste of him. As his tongue slid into her mouth, shivers went down her spine and she realized just how much she had missed kissing him. In fact, she knew she had missed being close to him at all.
As her hands roamed his back, then around to the front, lifting his shirt up to feel the taunt skin of his chest, she realized that she was suddenly remembering everything she had ever experienced with Max.
She pulled away to look into his eyes, her breath coming in short pants.
Max stared at her with a worried look in his eyes, “Liz? Are you okay?”
She smiled as she opened her mind to him so that he could see the images in her mind. As his eyes widened in realization, she replied, “I’m fine.”
She let go of him and Max couldn’t do anything but stand there and watch as she began to undress for him. Max’s mouth went dry when Liz crawled onto the bed and lay on her back, her legs spread slightly as if welcoming him.
Liz lay there with her eyes locked on Max’s. He waited a beat before he began to remove his clothes. Liz smiled seductively as she watched Max get undressed. When he was done, he crawled onto the bed and slid his body over Liz’s.
Liz sighed in contentment at the feel of Max’s hard body weighing hers down. She immediately wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his.
Max dipped his head and captured her lips in his, kissing her deeply.
The more Max kissed her, the more impatient Liz became. She slid her hands down his back, savoring the feel of his muscles moving beneath her hands.
His mouth moved from her mouth to her neck and she moaned as his tongue swept over her pulse.
Liz slid one hand down between their bodies and took him in her hand. She was rewarded with a growl against her collarbone as she began to stoke him.
Max cupped one breast in his hand and began to suckle the other one.
Liz arched up into his mouth, her hand picking up a faster rhythm over his thickening cock. She could feel his breathing becoming faster and quicker, matching her own.
As his mouth switched to the other breast, Max slid his hand down to test her readiness.
Still enough
Although I know you’re not begging
Still as the thoughts
Running through your mind
Liz let out a soft cry at the feel of Max’s fingers inside of her. She lifted her hips to take his fingers deeper while her free hand buried itself in his hair.
Still enough
Although I know you’re not begging
Give me a reason
To make you mine
Max heard Liz whimper, even as she rode his fingers, “Please, Max. I need you to make me yours again!”
I will devour you
Take all the pain away
Unable to resist her plea, Max rose up over her and looked down into her eyes. Liz wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him down towards her. With a swift thrust, he entered her to his hilt. Liz’s eyes went wide and she gasped as her body tightened around him.
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
She felt him shudder a moment before he began to slowly slide in and out of her. She smiled as her eyes went to half mast. She opened her mind to him once more, wanting him to know what she was feeling as he loved her.
Empower you
For all eternity
Now that she was fully aware of him, Liz knew it felt even better than it had when she’d been under his control.
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you’ve brought meaning to my life
Max was well aware of the fact that Liz was thoroughly enjoying the way he was pleasuring her. Not only could he feel how good he felt to her, but he could feel how good she felt.
Had enough
Although I see you’re not running
Still are the thoughts running through your mind
Liz was in Max’s mind just as he was in hers. She could feel how hot and tight she was to him. She could feel his pleasure as it increased with every stoke he gave her.
Dead to love
The path that you are now taking
Show me the reason to make you mine
She threw her head back, exposing her neck, letting him know with her mind what she wanted.
I will devour you
Take all the pain away
Max lowered his head to her neck and licked her pulse once again. As Liz tightened her hold on both his shoulders and his cock, Max sank his fangs into her neck.
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Liz was totally unprepared for the earth shattering orgasm that erupted the moment he bit her. All she could do was cry out his name and cling to him, holding on for the duration of the ride. As Max continued to thrust into her, he drank her blood to the rhythm of his thrusts.
Empower you
For all eternity
Liz closed her eyes in pleasure as her orgasm began to fade and she felt like she was floating on a cloud. It was the most peaceful feeling in the world.
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you’ve brought meaning to my life
Max slowly removed his fangs from her neck and licked her wound closed. He lifted his head and watched her for a moment as he continued to slowly ride her.
Run to where the smallest ray of light will never find you
When Liz opened her eyes and smiled at him, he caressed her cheek and asked, “Will you make me yours too, akribos?”
Run to where you will not need to shield your eyes
Liz nodded without hesitation and watched as Max lengthened a nail and slid it over his heart. As the blood began to seep out, Liz lifted her head and slid her tongue over it, drawing it into her mouth.
Run away from all the soulless, heartless, fiends who hound you
Max closed his eyes with a moan as he felt Liz’s mouth latch onto his wound. As she began to suck harder, he picked up his pace once more.
Run away and let your memories go blind
Liz wrapped her arms around Max and held him close as she drank deep. She could feel him shaking, so she swiftly rolled them over and mounted him. Still drinking deeply, she picked up the pace and rode him to completion.
When I devour you
Take all the pain away
With her name on his lips, Max came hard inside of Liz. Still, she rode him until she was certain she had milked every drop. Only then did she stop and lifted her mouth from his wound. She sat up and watched as Max licked his finger and ran it over his wound to close it.
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
She leaned over to kiss his lips before she slid off of him and curled into his side. Max wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him.
Empower you
For all eternity
With her head against his shoulder and her fingers entwined in his, she whispered, “Goodnight, Max.”
It seems to ease my mind
To know you’ve brought meaning to my life
“Goodnight, dikos mou agapo.”

I'm so flattered that there were so many responses to this and I truly hope that I don't disappoint or freak out people as I go on.

I was waiting for a banner, which Tanya made, before I started posting and well, these are the only parts I had. So, now that I've spoiled you all...I will do my darnest to post every friday, BUT if I do have more than one part ready, I'll post more than one part...okay.
While others have been known to tolerate only 'rare' meat. Still others can only handle a liquid diet which contains the essential nutrients a body needs to sustain itself. This last example is the category Liz falls under. Keep in mind there are many other ways a human's diet may change, but I'm not going into it here.
