Chapter 11.
Max laid in the black darkness of the dated New England hotel staring at Liz watching her chest slowly rise and fall. Sleep was a luxury he had learned to live without during the years spent under Kivar’s rule. Besides how could he sleep when the love of his life was in his arms. He didn’t want to waste one second with her even if it was just to admire her incredible beauty.
Her skin felt like silk as he gently moved his fingers along the curve of her hip to the indent of her waist. He silently wondered what would happen now …he was lost to this world and he wondered if she would be able to handle how different he had become.
He felt like an outsider not really belonging here …not really belonging anywhere. It was more like his memories held him prisoner now…more like his nightmares. Max was paranoid and scared most of the time. He could not shake the feeling that someone was coming for him ..that at any moment he could be hurt or worse.
He wondered what would happen when she started to really see him for what he was …a damaged broken man barely getting by in a world that he no longer knew how to be a part of.
Max closed his eyes tight as he tried to push these thoughts from his head. He didn’t want to wake her but his need to feel her …to love her again was overwhelming. Slowly he lowered his lips to her stomach and began to place soft kisses along her silky skin.
Liz was gently stirred awake by his loving caresses. A quiet sigh escaped her parted lips as she arched her back in response to feeling his breath against her breast. Slowly her eyes fluttered open to catch him gazing at her as he ran his tongue over her hard peak again and again.
“Max”
She whispered as she held the back of his head to her chest and whimpered softly.
His fingers lightly danced over her lips as she moaned his name out loud. Suddenly she started to feel an intense stir from deep within her. Seductively she turned to her side pulling his hand down from her mouth to her dripping heat below.
She gasped feeling his fingers slide through her as his hardness pushed up against her bottom. The two sensations were almost too much for her. She ran her hand down his hip to his thigh as she opened herself up to him showing him what she wanted. Max trembled as he tentative moved inside her ..his mouth went to her graceful neck letting his ragged breath wash up against her skin.
“More ..Max ...please more” she moaned softly
He raised her thigh higher in the air as he continued to thrust harder and faster inside her. She rolled onto her stomach as he raised himself up onto his hands crying out in pleasure.
"Oh god Liz ...you feel so good"
Her striking beauty made him dizzy as he stared at her through his darkened amber eyes. The slope of her spine and her bottom that lifted up to meet his movements were intoxicating. Her head was to the side and her eyes locked on his as she watched him study every inch of her smooth skin.
She had never felt more beautiful in her life as he gazed at her at that moment. It was the most sensual experience she had ever felt. Just then they’re eyes met suddenly his lips were sliding over her shoulder as he groaned his release. Slowly he moved to the side of her trying hard to calm his speeding heart.
Breathlessly he spoke endless words of missing her and how he dreamed of these moments. That these dreams however perfect in his mind could never compare to what it felt like actually touching her - kissing her - making love to her.
It was then as the light of the moon peeked through the blinds and lit up her back did he see the bruise. It was large and wrapped around the left side of her back across her tiny ribs. It had appeared as though someone had punched or pushed her hard on her side. It looked very painful and he was sure she felt it everytime she breathed.
His face immediately hardened as anger washed over his flushed sweaty skin. Rage swept through his veins like ice water as he sat up and reached for the light.
Liz was completely unaware as she laid on her stomach still quivering from the intense sensations that were coursing through her.
When she noticed the light she turned to her side and raised the sheet up to her chest confused by his sudden change of emotion.
“Max what is it...what’s wrong?”
“Liz what did he do to you”
Max struggled to keep calm as he stood raising his boxers past his thighs.
He started to pace the room in a fury of anger torn between finding Sean and just taking Liz and running.
Liz sat there in silence she had forgotten for just a moment the painful day that seemed so far away while she was in Max’s arms.
“Please I need to know...I see the bruise...my god Liz why didn't you tell me...I'll kill him!”
Max was not used to this world and it’s rules ..he was used to surviving on a violent planet where revenge and justice went hand in hand.
He decided he didn’t need her explanation he knew enough and someone was going to pay.
The thought of Sean hitting her ...actually physically hurting her was too much to bare. Especially since she endured this for him – because of him – to be with him.
His heart rose in his throat as his old wounds reminded him of why he fought so hard to stay alive - to believe in the impossible - to plan for years and sacrifice his life. Liz was the very reason he made it out of that horrid prison and across time and space all the way back to earth. He was damned if she was going to be punished for his freedom.
He quickly dressed and grabbed for his keys when he felt his arm being tugged from behind.
“Max where are you going?”
“To teach Sean a lesson ...one I promise he will never forget”
“Wait...please ..think about it Max ...as soon as he sees you –
“I don’t care ..Liz you don’t have to live like this ...you don’t deserve this!”
“He was hurt ...he cried Max he was sorry ...and I came...obviously he let me go”
“He let you go?”
Max sat on the bed in frustration with his head in his hands.
“God Liz what has he done to you ...why are you making excuses for him!”
“You don’t understand Max”
Suddenly something occurred to him that he had never even considered.
“Liz you are planning to leave him and go away with me right?”
Her silence was crushing and spoke volumes to him.
He got up and ran towards the door.
“Max wait ...please”
He stopped with his hand on the doorknob and his forehead resting on the door.
“Liz I love you ...more than you can ever imagine more than you can ever hope to understand...I came across the universe to find you....the question is how do you feel about me?”
She rested her hand on his back stunned that he could ever doubt her love for him.
“I love you too Max...I want this as much as you do ...don’t you know that?”
She collapsed on the bed emotionally and physically drained as she cried softly into her hands.
Max fell to his knees and wrapped his arms around her.
“I’m sorry Liz ...I’m so sorry ...it just kills me to think of his hands on you...I didn’t mean to say that”
“I know Max...I know”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
He held her tight as the minutes ticked by and the moon slowly moved across the night sky.
They were both aware of the others inability to sleep as they laid together in each others arms. He tenderly stroked the spot of her injury that he had lovingly healed in the night.
He couldn’t get out of his mind what Sean had done ...and he had yet to even hear the whole story..he was afraid to – afraid of what he might do if he did.
Max couldn’t help feeling that he was responsible for all of this ..all of her pain. As he held her he suddenly needed to explain how it all began – how he could’ve said and done the things he did so long ago that changed everything forever.
There’s something that I need to tell you Liz ...something you have to know.
Liz turned to face him hearing the seriousness of his voice.
“I feel like I need to explain something to you…something that has been bothering me for so long…something I want you to understand...
“Max just take your time …I’m not going anywhere”
He started to whisper as if what he was about to say was so painful that he didn’t have the strength to say it in his normal voice.
“You know I remember everything like it was yesterday every kiss …every look…every moment we shared …
Max closed his eyes as if he was replaying something very painful in his head.
“What is it Max”
“That night in the jeep …when we said goodbye...all those years ago.”
“I need to explain to why …how I could have said what I said…
“Max what are you talking about?”
“I remember how I was saying things to you…but they weren’t my words …my feelings”
“Max”
“She tricked me Liz …every time we would meet to …to try and get my memories back …my memories of my life on that god forsaken planet ..she was working her way further and further taking control.”
“Max I know …it’s ok-
“No Liz!”
Suddenly Max was on his feet and pacing the room.
His voice was strong and full of anger and bitterness.
“How could I have not seen it …how could I have not known …I was so stupid!”
“She would do these relaxation techniques …she said it was to help me quiet my mind ..so I could remember….what she was really doing was gaining more and more control over me …by the time that I – I..
“Slept with her” Liz whispered .
“Yes… by that time… she was in control”
His voice cracked with pain as he continued.
“That night in the jeep …I said something to you that has been eating away at me for fifteen years…sometimes just the need to get back and tell you the truth was the only thing that keep me going”
“Max what are you talking about”
Suddenly his hand was cupping her cheek and he was staring with tear filled eyes.
“I didn’t mean it Liz…I swear those were not my words …not the way I felt …I could never ….
“What do you mean Max what words?”
Max lowered his head as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He took comfort in the warmth of her body as he finally found the courage to tell her the truth.
“You asked me if I loved her” Max quietly began to cry flooded with pain as the years of isolation filled his heart
“Do you remember?”
A tiny ‘yes’ escaped her lips as the memory of that blow hit her again in the gut.
“I told you …I actually said …’not like I love you”
Now tears where falling from her eyes as she recalled the words that haunted her for years and tore at her heart.
“It wasn’t true Liz any of it…it was her ..she was controlling me …forcing the words from my mouth.”
“I never loved her …I could never love her … she knew it that’s why she did ..what she did”
He slowly raised his head to gaze into her eyes like he was pleading for forgiveness.
“It was you that I loved then …it’s you that I love now…it’s always been you Liz ..only you…I could never love anyone else…please you have to believe me ...I don't even have any memory of sleeping with her ...in my heart in my head that was something I could only share with you...I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth"
She held his head and smoothed his hair back.
“Shh …I believe you Max …I believe you”
“Max what happened wasn’t your fault –
“It was though ...don’t you see Liz …I made myself open to her …I let her in …I let her take away everything…I let her take me away from you.”
“Max I know what’s inside you …I’ve seen your soul…you were sweet and kind and trusting…that boy would have never hurt me…you are not to blame…god Max don’t you think you’ve given enough of your life to that beast.”
“But ...If had been stronger none of this would have happened to you and –
“Shh please Max ....forget her ...look at me ...tonight there is only you and me”
Max shivered as he felt her lips against his soothing his worried mind - chasing away his fears.
Still deep inside he wondered what tomorrow would bring especially when she discovered what he had decided to do to Sean.
He was bent on vengeance against the man who dared to touch his love and this time nothing - no one would stand in his way.
He swore that this time he would protect her ...he would be strong...he would not let her down...no matter what the cost.
