Chapter Thirty-Five Continued
Night was falling over the little Swedish town as the group made there way back to the hotel for a relaxing evening.
"Aw I am exhausted,” Tess, said as she flopped down on to the bed in her hotel room. "You better not be. We are going out tonight,” Kyle said smiling. "I'm not,” Tess said as she bounced up and smiled. "Where are you guys going?" Isabel said as she placed her things on the desk.
"Bar hopping,” Kyle said with his eyes beaming. "What! I can't believe you? Tess you’re not going to go are you?" She said in shock. "Yes" She said beaming. "I thought you were into that sort of thing?" She said in amazement. "Well I am not but how many times are we going to be in Sweden and besides it was Kyle’s suggestion." She said smiling at him.
"Yeah well I figure if we go tonight this way we will have a whole day to recover from our hangovers before we board the plan. Your more then welcome to come Iz." Kyle said looking at Isabel. "Thanks Kyle for the invite but I think Alex and I have other plans. We might meet up with you later though." She said smiling. "Great" Tess said as she walked over to Kyle and taking his hand.
"Well we better go don't want to miss happy hour. See you later." Kyle said as they walked out of the room. "Be careful you two. I will meet up with you later." Isabel cried as the two of them left. "Isabel I am always safe. Don't worry Tess and I will be fine. See you later." Kyle said giving her a reassuring look before he closed the door behind him.
Isabel looked at her watch it was almost time for dinner with Alex. She quickly got her things together and went downstairs to wait for him in the lobby.
The lobby was busy with the usual night crowd as Isabel waited patiently. She was checking her watch when a voice called her. "Isabel we have to talk." Jessie said as he grabbed her arm and went into an empty catering hall. "Jessie what are you doing" Isabel demanded as he let go of her arm.
"I don't get you. How can just go after this Alex guy after all he did to you. He lied to you Isabel for god sack. Who's to say he won't lie again." Jessie said in a forceful tone. "Look Jessie you are over reacting. I mean we all thought Alex was dead. How did we know what he was doing? And for your information he saved us." Isabel cried. "How did he save you with his lies." Jessie spat.
"OK that’s enough. God I can't believe you. Alex risked his life and for the past year he was living in a nightmare wondering if he would ever make it home or die in the process. How dare you come off accusing him as being deceitful, all he ever did was think about others first. " Isabel yelled. "Don't you see Isabel, that’s his game!" Jessie yelled
"No that’s your game!" she cried in defense. "Look at yourself Jessie you are too concerned with peoples faults then getting to know the person for who they really are. That’s why our marriage didn't work. All you could see were my faults." Isabel said as she waved her hands in the air.
"So why does it work with Alex and not me?” he yelled as he came closer to her. "It comes down to trust and love. Look I know Alex is not a perfect man but I trust and love him for the beautiful person he is.
Maybe if you started trusting people more instead of hiding behind your own fears and judging them you will find out what you are missing in your life and not me or any one else is going to fix that it's up to you." She said holding herself back on the verge of tears. "And I pray that you take a good look at yourself and the people around you and you will see how all we ever gave you was love." She cried as her eyes filled with tears.
"Isabel" Jessie said softy as he moved in closer to her placing his hand on her cheek. "No Jessie" She said turning away. "I am tired of playing your silly game. Please go" She said soft yet firm.
Jessie backed away with his luggage in hand. "It was a nice old movie Isabel. But I guess in real life there are no happy endings."
"Perhaps." She said with a distant look in her eyes. "Good luck Jessie I hope you find what you are looking for." Isabel said firmly. "You too." He said softy as he turned to leave, leaving her in the empty room.
"Movies fade but there will always be the stars" a voice from behind her whispered softy as she turned and saw Alex standing by the piano. "Alex how long were you...." She then smiled as her words faded away at the sight of him. She walked over towards him. He received her in a hug. "I just got here." He said smiled as he squeezed her tight. They kissed passionately knowing that they could finally be together forever.
"The nights young, the stars are shinning bright, and I have my beautiful Ice Princess by my side." He beamed "This way my lady" he said grabbing her hand and Isabel smiled as they both walked out of the hotel and into the dimly light snow covered town as the Northern lights shown above them.

Liz wrapped the towel around her as she entered into the bedroom where Max was laying shirt less on his stomach and dressed in his gray sweat paints watching a movie. Though she was clean her body ached from all of the snowboarding and ice staking during the day.
"Hey what are you watching?" She said as she sat down on the bed. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" He said smiling up at her. "Oh my god how many times have you seen that movie." She said rolling her eyes and laughing.
"What its a good movie about love and honor" he smirked "I know, I know I hear the fights you and Michael get into over it. But I have to say I do agree with you. I mean come on the Matrix there is no comparison!" She said smiling as she tussled his hair while he smiled.
"Oh I am so achy from today." Liz said as she tried to lie down onto the bed. "I might be able to help. Here lie down on your stomach." Max said as he moved over to make room for her. He then knelt down beside her.
"Um Liz I think you might have to remove your towel if this is going to work." He said. "This wouldn't be an excuse to see me naked would it?" She said turning up to look at him giving him the eye. "Oh no I can assure you it is all for professional reasons." He smirked flashing a boyish smile. "Ok but I am not removing it all the way just enough do you can see my back." She said blushing as she moved the towel down while Max helped her.
Once her bare back was exposed Max then placed his hands on her back and using his powers generated some low heat to relax her muscles while he started to massage her back.
"Um that feels so good." she sighed as she felt the tension lift from her. "I am not hurting you am I?" Max said as he massaged her shoulders. "No" she said shacking her head. "Ok good just let me know if I am." He said while he rubbed her back muscles as they watched the movie. "You’re all done." Max said as he gave her one last rub. "Your so good to me how did I get so lucky?" Liz said as she wrapped the towel around her before she rose up and kissed him. "Thank you,” she said smiling.
"But I think you missed a spot." she smirked. "I did" Max said raising his eyebrow. "Yes right here." Liz pointed to her cheek as Max kissed it.
"And here." She said pointing to her neck and Max started to leave a trail of kisses. "And here?" Max said huskily as he kissed her collarbone.
"Yes" Liz sighed "And right here." Liz said as she pulled Max's head up to her lips. The kiss they shared turned into this burning fire of passion as Max lay Liz down onto her back.
"Max!" Liz sighed as he started to pull away at the towel. He looked up at her and raised an eyebrow "For professional purposes"
He smirked and Liz laughed. "Max you know we can't we have to meet the others." She sighed. "I know" Max said breathlessly as he started to unwrap her. "But I can't help myself. I long to be inside of you." he whispered as he kissed her. "And so do I" Liz seductively said as she pulled her arms around him tight as there kisses began there sweet passionate dance.
"Max" Liz cried as she felt the growing heat inside her as he kissed his way down her chest and flat stomach as she tried to remove his sweat pants. He then got up from her and helped her remove them as they both tumbled onto the bed as they joined as one. "Liz!" Max cried as he kissed her face while she moved to match his rhythm. "Max" she cried as her growing energy started to bottle up inside of her.
She then kissed him hard as she rolled him on to his back while she kissed his neck and chest. "Liz" he cried breathlessly enjoying her new controlling side. "Your so beautiful." he said in between sweet kisses. "Hold Me," she cried as Max wrapped his arms around her while their pace quickened.
"MAX!" she screamed and then laughed as Max covered her mouth with his hand. "Sorry...I didn’t know...how loud I was" She whispered as a dark crimson covered her cheeks. "It's ok...I don't mind...But I think the people in our hotel might. He smiled as he reached up and kissed her while she laughed.
Max then laid Liz onto her back and held her close as they kissed each other. "I am not hurting you am I,” he whispered in the shadows. "No, you could never hurt me" She sighed as she held him close.
There bodies danced in the pale moonlight as a cool breeze filled the room with its nighttime scent of crisp fallen snow. Liz gasped as her back arched feeling her orgasm rip through her body with wave upon wave of pleasure as Max breathless sighed her name. "Liz" he breathed as his body trembled as he wrapped his arms around her as if to protect her from harm. He could feel her body shacking under him. "Liz are you alright." He asked concerned.
"Yes...You make me feel so alive" she smiled and kissed him as he gently laid her down onto the bed smiling "I feel the same. I love you.” He said as he kissed her fore head while her body glowed. "Your so beautiful I love to see you glow." He whispered knowing that his physical alien responses didn't affect her. She loved him no matter what.
"I am glad to see you are glowing as well on the inside." She smiled up at him and kissed him sending him a flash of when they were in Michael’s apartment alone for the first time.
"I can't believe we only have one more day here. I don't want to leave. Can’t we stay?" Liz sighed as she snuggled close to him. "I know this feels like a dream I never want to wake up from." He sighed looking down at her. "Then lets never wake up and dream for eternity" She whispered as she kissed him. "I like that." He said softy as he held her hand as Liz closed her eyes and smiled.
