Part 38
Max's experience with Tess had been traumatic. It had not only affected Max and Liz, but the entire group felt vulnerable. Now not knowing when, where or how she would strike next. Liz tried to soothe Max with her love and on the outside it looked like she was being successful in her attempts. But, on the inside, Max still felt the guilt of his actions. Even with all his friends assuring him, it hadn't been his fault, he couldn't quite get past what he had allowed Tess to do to him.
It also didn't help their situation now that Liz's mother knew just how intimate their relationship was. As much as he wanted to find sanctuary in the warmth of Liz's body at night when they slept together, he never took advantage of their time at night while they slept in Liz's home. He had vowed to Nancy, that he would not disrespect her or her husband in their home again and he had meant that vow. The only problem was, there didn't seem to be anywhere that the two of them could really be alone and together to have an intimate moment. It also didn't go unnoticed how Nancy seem to be watching the two of them more closely as if inspecting their relationship with a fine tooth comb. To make sure Max had spoken the truth to her and did indeed love Liz, in lieu of just using her for sex.
Between not being able to find any intimate time to spend with Liz alone besides the time they slept together, which that was all they did during the night now. The pressure of Tess's return and his feelings of inadequacy to stop her. And his own guilt over what he had already allowed her to do, Max was walking on a thin line.
As much as Max had tried to hide his discomfort around Liz, Liz knew better. She knew he was suffering and as much as she tried to help him out, she knew Max couldn't truly express himself to her because the guilt he was still feeling. So after a couple of weeks watching him slowly pulling away from her, she went to Michael. Thinking maybe he could be the one to get Max to finally open up to someone and talk things through. As much as she wanted to be the one to help Max, his well being was more important to her, then not being the one he needed to help him through what he had experienced.
The plan was simple, Michael would invite Max over to watch a game on TV together and try to get Max to open up to him. Liz knew this was a gamble all in itself, because Michael wasn't the most sensitive person in the world. But, Michael was Max's friend and Liz wasn't the only person to see how the experience had changed Max. So with a lot of promising and reassuring on Michael's part, Liz finally agreed he was the best candidate for Max to try to open up to. Besides they had to come up with something for it was only two more weeks before Tess would more then likely return again.
Max arrived at Michael's apartment on time with a sack full of snacks that Michael had insisted they needed to enjoy the baseball game. The two best friends had sat eating snacks, watching the game, but neither had said much and Michael knew it was going to be up to him to get the conversation started. "So what's with the sullen act?" Michael was never one to use tact, so he figured why start now.
"What?" Max was obviously thrown by Michael's question, by the surprise look upon his face.
"Come on Max. You can't deny you've been awfully quiet for the past few weeks. I mean more quiet then even usual for you, so what gives?"
Closing his eyes to try to shut out the thought of having to talk about what was bugging him. He couldn't believe Michael of all people was asking him about his behavior. He knew what had happened, in fact all their friends knew. As much as Max hated the fact that he had to tell them, he knew he had to. But, it was one thing for them to know what happen, it was another thing to have to discuss it after the fact. In fact, discussing it was the last thing Max wanted to ever have to do. He kept thinking the memory of that dream would eventually go away and he could forget it ever had happened. "Michael, could we just watch the game. I'm not really in the mood to talk, I just...I just need to watch the game."
That was it, Michael knew his friend well enough to know that Max never got into sports. Well, not like he had and for him to want to hide behind the game, well, that was enough to put Michael into action. He quickly raised his hand and shut the TV off using his powers. "Max, it's just me here. Talk to me." He offered hoping Max would see the wisdom in those words.
Flicking the TV back on, he stated sternly. "NO!"
The TV went back off. "Damn It Maxwell, just give it a rest and tell me what's got you so bent out of shape."
Max stood up and began pacing. "You know what happened. Why can't you just leave it alone!" He shouted out wanting to storm out, but knowing Michael wouldn't just let it go with that.
"Max, you can't let what that bitch did to you get to you. I can't even begin to think what it would be like to be raped."
"Michael just stop it! I don't want to talk about it!" Max screamed out.
"Maxwell, you may not want to talk about it, but you need to. You need to get past this and if you don't let it out, it's going to eat you a live. Now talk to me!" Michael's voice was the one shouting back this time. He knew Max well enough to know that trying to be nice about this wasn't what he needed. He needed a good swift kick start into talking about Tess and the dream they had shared.
"I wasn't raped." Max spoke so softly, Michael almost didn't hear him.
"What?" Now, it was Michael's turn to be surprised by Max's admission.
"Tell me Michael, how can a guy really be raped?" By Michael's shocked expression Max knew he had it a nerve. "Think about it. An attractive female comes on to you in very sexy lingerie. Basically ties you to a bed and goes down on you. You get the ultimate pleasure from the experience by shooting your load down her throat. Does that sound like rape to you?" Max had thought about it over and over in his mind. The more he pondered over it, the more unrealistic it was to say he was raped.
Michael had listened to his best friend, heard his words and finally understood what had truly been bugging him for the past several weeks. He actually was thinking what had happened between him and Tess wasn't an act of rape. Max was taking the blame for the experience in lieu of placing it on Tess where the blame rightfully belonged. "Come on Max, don't do this. Tess took advantage of you and raped you. Your just still feeling guilty that she had the power to take advantage of you."
"Michael, don't you get it. How did she have the power to take advantage of me? I'm not without powers of my own. Maybe I wanted her to take control so I could say she raped me, but in reality maybe I wanted her to do what she did to me. What if I'm real attracted to Tess? What if self concisiously I want to be able to have my cake with Liz and eat my ice cream with Tess? What kind of person does that make me?"
Michael was dumb struck for a moment at Max's revelation. Could it be possible? Did Max really want to have intimate relations with Tess? "Maxwell, your lying. To me and to yourself. I know you and I know you aren't thinking clearly, because there is no way the Max Evans I know would stand here and tell me he wants Tess Hardin once he has everything he had every dreamed about his whole life in Liz Parker."
"That's just it Michael, maybe I'm not the Max Evans you think I am. It doesn't change the fact that there is no way a guy can be raped by a girl. Not when the guy gets pleasure from the act itself."
With those last few words Michael finally understood what had been bothering Max. Tess had given him pleasure in their dreams and that was what all this came down to. Max had always prided himself as one who was always in control. But, he had lost his control during the sexual act he had endured with Tess and in doing so, he was making himself believe that since he had gotten pleasure from the act, he must have somehow really wanted it. "Okay, so what you're saying is that your okay being with Tess once a month and we don't have to worry about anyone being hurt because your going to fulfill your end of the deal to Tess. I guess you acting all weird these past few weeks is just your own guilt that you haven't told Liz yet that you want to be with Tess. Who knows, maybe Liz will want to join in and you could have both of them at the same time, since you want to be with Tess and Liz.
You know, have your cake and eat your ice cream at the same time." Michael knew he was goading his friend, but he had to make him see that what Tess had done, wasn't what Max had wanted, but was forced on him.
"STOP IT! Just Stop, Michael. Please, I don't want to be with Tess."
Just the thought of having to be with her in any way was making Max sick to his stomach.
"Then stop lying to yourself Max. I know what your thinking, I'm a guy too and I'm telling you just because you got off when Tess went down on you doesn't mean she didn't rape your ass. Your feeling guilty over the fact that you got pleasure out of the incident and that guilt is eating away at you. I can see it and so can Liz. Now I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to be honest with me. Do you want to be with Tess?"
"NO!" Max answered quickly, without any hesitation to his reply. There was no need to hesitate because his reply was the truth. He did NOT want to be with Tess in any terms of the word.
"Okay, then I suggest you stop with the guilt trip and start figuring out what we're going to do that next time she comes for her monthly visit, because like it or not Maxwell. She's not going to stop until we stop her." Michael spoke as honestly as he could. Now that he understood what was going on with Max, he needed to make him understand what had happened to him wasn't his fault. Because, if he didn't, it was apparent that Tess would win and in Michael's book that was unacceptable.

Part 39
After his time with Michael, Max seemed like a new person with a new purpose in life. Liz noticed the change in Max almost immediately and knew she owed Michael big time. She didn't know what had been said between the two of them, but whatever it was, it obviously had the effect Max needed to snap him out of his depression. For the next week he had homed his skills even more then before, with more determination then ever that they wouldn't let Tess win. The timing for her monthly visit was approaching and quickly. Both Michael and Isabelle had also been practicing their skills and Nasedo was there to guide them to perfect their powers into what they were intended to be. Liz, Maria and Alex would go with the three pod squaders often to watch them develop their gifts. To all three of the humans, their friends capabilities never ceased to amaze them.
Their summer was winding down and with school starting up soon, they made every extra attempt they could to find the time to practice and prepare for the showdown with Tess. Liz also noticed how Max was becoming an expert at finding ways for the two of them to have time to themselves. Even though she disagreed with the fact that Max refused to make love to her when he spent the nights in her room due to his vow to her mother, she understood. So instead he found alternative ways for the two of them to share their intimate times together. With the exception of the threat of Tess hanging over their heads, life in Roswell was good and quiet for the most part.
What surprised Liz the most was the way her mother accepted her and Max's relationship more and more. As she had promised, she hadn't mentioned the true intimacy of their relationship to her father and that in itself made Liz respect her mother more then anything. She found herself being able to open up to her mother regarding her feelings for Max and for the first time in her life she felt a bond with her mother that she had never felt before. Max spent every spare minute he had with Liz and their love for each other couldn't be denied by either of her parents. Even though her father didn't know the extent of her and Max's relationship as much as her mother did, even he couldn't deny their feelings for each other were deep.
The Parker's weren't the only ones to notice the relationship between Max and Liz. His own parents often teased him about the amount of time he spend over at Liz's. Even though Liz did come to see Max at his own house, the majority of the time he was the one to go to hers. Often he would leave his house early in the morning and not return until late at night only to pretend to go to bed so he could sneak out and be with Liz during the night. By the time the fourth week came around, Max was extra cautious when it came time to sneak over to Liz's house. There was no way he wanted to get caught and take the chance that he would be stuck at home by himself and give Tess another opportunity to win. In fact during that week Isabelle made it a point to visit her brother and Liz in their dreams just to make sure everything was as it should be.
By the end of the week, everyone's nerves were taking their toll. As his normal routine had been lately, Max was starting to run out the door to go see Liz, when his mother called out to him. "Max, you got a letter in the mail." She stated as she handed a pink envelope to her son before he had a chance to run out the door. "Oh and don't forget tomorrow Grandma and Grandpa Evans are coming in town, so I want you to make sure your room is clean before they get here." She gave her son a kiss on the cheek and continued her cleaning spree. It wasn't too often that her in laws visited them and she always tried to make their stay pleasant.
Max nodded his head, while saying. "I remember Mom, I promise to get my room clean before they get here. I'm just going to pick Liz up and we'll be back after lunch, okay?" He knew his mother always went out of her way to make sure the house was spotless for his grandparents. He had already told Liz about their visit and she was excited about meeting them. In fact, he had to admit himself he too was excited about their visit as he was going to introduce them to Liz. With all the weird alien things that had surrounded their relationship, this was one of the normal things in life. To be able to introduce your girlfriend to your relatives and with everything else happening lately having one normal thing in his life just felt right for a change.
He climbed into his jeep and drove over to the Crashdown to pick up Liz before driving out to the cliffs to meet Michael for another round of practice. Isabelle had already promised her Mom that she would help get the house ready for their grandparents visit so it was only going to be Michael, Maria, Liz and himself this morning. After their practice session the guys had promised to take their girls out for lunch and then Liz was going to come back to his house to help him get his room sparkling for his grandparents visit. All in all it was going to be a good day. It wasn't until he arrived at the cafe that he noticed the letter sitting on the passenger's seat next to him. Opening it without thinking twice about it, he sat there in shock at the words on the pink stationary that stared back at him.
Max,
I'll be waiting for you in my dreams tonight.
Love,
Tess
That's the position Liz found him in, when she approached the jeep. Just sitting there staring at a piece of paper in his hands. "What's that?" She asked as she climbed into the jeep. When she got no response, she shook his arm. "Max? What is it?" He still didn't move or even acknowledge her presence in the jeep so she placed her finger under his chin to turn his face toward her. What she saw was a single tear that was making it's way down his face. "Oh My God! Max, what is it?" He had only been gone less then a half an hour away from her, so she couldn't imagine anything that could have happened in that short amount of time period.
"Tess." Was all he said as he finally snapped out of the shock his body had gone into at reading her letter to him. He handed the letter over to Liz so she could read it.
"Oh My God!" Was all Liz could say, as she too was just as shocked as Max was upon reading the letter. "Well, your not going." She quickly added when the shock of the words on the piece of paper wore off.
Max's mind was a thousand miles away in thought. Of course, he didn't want to go, but what would happen if he didn't? Or worst yet, what would happen if he did go? He knew it hadn't ended with the last time and knew to expect her to show again, but no matter how much he prepared himself for it, he knew he could never really be prepared to face her again after what she had done to him the last time. "Let's meet Michael and Maria, we need to make some arrangements." He hoped his voice sounded strong, because at the moment he felt anything but strong. Just the thought of having to come face to face with Tess again, made him feel weak.
The two of them drove in silence to the quarry, both had the same thoughts running through their heads. When they met up with Michael and Maria, Liz ran to Maria and hugged her best friend. Needing the comfort she easily offered without even knowing what was going on. It was Michael that asked the question though. "Max, what's wrong?" Max
didn't answer him verbally, just handed the letter from Tess over to his best friend. "That bitch. Man, I am going to kick her ass when I find her."
By this time, Maria had also walked over and read Tess's letter. "The nerve of her, like you would willing come to her in her dreams. Be real here."
It was Max that brought them all back to reality with his next statement. "And what if I don't Maria. What happens then? I don't think Tess would have any problem hurting someone Liz cares about. That includes you. Are you willing to die just so I don't have to visit Tess in her dreams?" Max's words were harsh, but he spoke the truth.
Seeing the look of horror on Maria's face, Michael quickly pulled her tightly against his body as if to protect her from the evil of Max's words. "Maxwell, that's enough."
"No, Michael. It's not. Don't you guys get it? Tess's threats were clear. If she doesn't get what she wants then she's going to hurt or kill someone and I for one don't doubt her threats." He turned to face Liz. "Liz, tell me honestly. Do you have any doubts that Tess would go through with her threats?"
Liz wanted to say no, wanted to deny that anyone would willing harm another just because someone refused to have carnal knowledge with them. But, she remembered her threat all to well. The look of insanity in her eyes when she had made the threat. No, Liz could try to deny it all she wanted, but the truth was, she did believe that Tess was capable and would follow through with her threat. Unable to answer Max, she shook her head as tears started to form in her eyes.
Max heart broke when he seen her tears, he hated the fact that she was going to be hurt one way or another by him. Either he betray their love or someone she loved would be hurt or even worst killed. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, wanting to reassure her that their love was strong enough to overcome this, but knowing sooner or later this was going to be too much for her to bare. "We need to make a decision. Tess is crazy, but obviously not stupid. She knows I can't really hurt her in her dream. As much as I hate to admit it, Tess holds all the cards right now."
"So what's our options?" Maria asked, their had to be some way out of this mess.
Liz walked to the jeep and pulled out some paper and pen out of her purse. "Okay, let's make a list of our options." When Maria and Michael snickered and she saw Max desperately trying to hold back his own laughter, she rolled her eyes at her three friends. "What, you've got to have a plan? Now knock it off and let's try to be serious here."
"Okay, sorry chica, it's just..that's so you." Maria stated as she pointed to the paper and pen in Liz's hand. Getting back on track, she offered. "Option number one, Max goes to the slut's dream and does an alien take down on her, leaving the slut bleeding and deformed."
"That's my firecracker." Michael stated proudly of his girl's description of what should happen. "Option number two, Max ignores the bitch in heat and we watch everyone's asses so the bitch can't fulfill any of her threats."
Liz looked over to Max, knowing that neither of those options were really an option. Max could read her mind clearly in those few seconds and as much as it broke his heart to say, he spoke the dreaded option number three. "Option three, I give into Tess's demands and everyone stays safe."
"Max, you can't be serious." Michael yelled at the same time, Maria shouted out.
"No way, that's gonna happen." As Liz remained quiet trying to come up with another alternative that didn't risk any of her love ones, including Max.
"What about option number four?" Liz stated, then when they all turned to listen to her, she added. "The reason Tess is holding all the cards is because we're letting her hold the cards. She knows what would happen if she meets with Max face to face, so she's hiding in the real world while she makes her demands in the dream world. Who out of the four of you is the expert in the dream world? Tess? No, it's Isabelle. Right now Tess holds the cards, because we don't know where she is right? It's obvious Max just can't ignore Tess's invitation, because I know none of us are willing to live with the consequences if she follows through with her threat. And we can't really hurt her in the dream world, even though it's a nice thought Maria." She gave her friend a thoughtful look before continuing. "What if Max goes into Tess's dream, but we have Isabelle follow him. Max, you'll have to distract her long enough for Isabelle to find out her real location. Once we know where she is, we go for the attack. Tess will never know what hit her until it's too late."
"Do you really think it will be that simple?" Max asked, he had learned not to second guess Liz's mind, but the plan just seemed too simple. Remembering Tess was crazy, not stupid.
"Well, it's better then option number three." Maria was quick to jump in for her friends sake. "Besides, how hard is it going to be for you to distract Tess long enough for Isabelle to get the information we need and track down the bitch in heat."
"Maria!" Liz warned to her best friend.
"Come on Liz, think about it. Tess wants Max, and well, look at him. If he makes her believe she stands a chance in hell getting some of his goods then we have distraction written all over the place."
"Maria, stop it, okay. I don't go around putting your boyfriends assets on display could you please reframe from putting Max on display"
By now Max was already beginning to blush at the two girl's words. But, neither girl noticed as both were still in their own debate.
"I'm not the one putting Max on display, Tess is and why wouldn't you put Michael on display, I mean his got a great package to display?"
This time it was Michael that was turning a rosy pink from Maria's comment about his own package. But, as before the two girl's didn't take notice as they were into their own conversation, forgetting that either of the guys were still standing right beside them.
"Michael's package isn't the question right now, Maria. Could you please focus on the conversation?"
"I am focusing on the conversation Liz. Max has a nice package to offer, you even admitted it yourself. Tess obviously wants what Max has to offer so you do the math. Geez, it's not like his actually going to sleep with the bitch. His just going to pretend like he wants to sleep with her so she won't know that Isabelle's getting her where about from her when Max has her otherwise preoccupied. Either that or we go with option number five."
"What's option number five?" Liz asked already knowing that she was going to regret asking before Maria even answered.
"Max gives the bitch what she wants, but just lies there like a dead stick in the water, basically being the worst fuck she ever gets and then she willing backs off on her own. I mean would you want to get it on with a dead stick in the water every month for the rest of your life."
"Trust me Maria, that option isn't going to work. With Max's package,
even with him just laying their like a dead stick in the water, he wouldn't ever qualify as anyone's worst fuck." Liz stated before she even realized what she was saying and who she was saying it in front of. Her and Maria had gotten so in their conversation, both girl's had forgotten that either of the guys were still standing there with them.
"Okay you two that's it, back to your corners." Michael jumped in, he had heard enough talk about his and Max's package for one day. But, whispered to Maria. "Thanks for sticking up for my package by the way."
Maria was grinning as wide a smile as possible, while Liz was blushing a deep red at how she had spoken about Max's assets in front of him and Michael to her best friend. Max seeing her embarrassment quickly leaned over to her, whispering. "I love your package too." Then spoke up to everyone. "Let's head over to my house so we can fill Isabelle in on the plan and see what she thinks about it."

didn't answer him verbally, just handed the letter from Tess over to his best friend. "That bitch. Man, I am going to kick her ass when I find her."
By this time, Maria had also walked over and read Tess's letter. "The nerve of her, like you would willing come to her in her dreams. Be real here."
It was Max that brought them all back to reality with his next statement. "And what if I don't Maria. What happens then? I don't think Tess would have any problem hurting someone Liz cares about. That includes you. Are you willing to die just so I don't have to visit Tess in her dreams?" Max's words were harsh, but he spoke the truth.
Seeing the look of horror on Maria's face, Michael quickly pulled her tightly against his body as if to protect her from the evil of Max's words. "Maxwell, that's enough."
"No, Michael. It's not. Don't you guys get it? Tess's threats were clear. If she doesn't get what she wants then she's going to hurt or kill someone and I for one don't doubt her threats." He turned to face Liz. "Liz, tell me honestly. Do you have any doubts that Tess would go through with her threats?"
Liz wanted to say no, wanted to deny that anyone would willing harm another just because someone refused to have carnal knowledge with them. But, she remembered her threat all to well. The look of insanity in her eyes when she had made the threat. No, Liz could try to deny it all she wanted, but the truth was, she did believe that Tess was capable and would follow through with her threat. Unable to answer Max, she shook her head as tears started to form in her eyes.
Max heart broke when he seen her tears, he hated the fact that she was going to be hurt one way or another by him. Either he betray their love or someone she loved would be hurt or even worst killed. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, wanting to reassure her that their love was strong enough to overcome this, but knowing sooner or later this was going to be too much for her to bare. "We need to make a decision. Tess is crazy, but obviously not stupid. She knows I can't really hurt her in her dream. As much as I hate to admit it, Tess holds all the cards right now."
"So what's our options?" Maria asked, their had to be some way out of this mess.
Liz walked to the jeep and pulled out some paper and pen out of her purse. "Okay, let's make a list of our options." When Maria and Michael snickered and she saw Max desperately trying to hold back his own laughter, she rolled her eyes at her three friends. "What, you've got to have a plan? Now knock it off and let's try to be serious here."
"Okay, sorry chica, it's just..that's so you." Maria stated as she pointed to the paper and pen in Liz's hand. Getting back on track, she offered. "Option number one, Max goes to the slut's dream and does an alien take down on her, leaving the slut bleeding and deformed."
"That's my firecracker." Michael stated proudly of his girl's description of what should happen. "Option number two, Max ignores the bitch in heat and we watch everyone's asses so the bitch can't fulfill any of her threats."
Liz looked over to Max, knowing that neither of those options were really an option. Max could read her mind clearly in those few seconds and as much as it broke his heart to say, he spoke the dreaded option number three. "Option three, I give into Tess's demands and everyone stays safe."
"Max, you can't be serious." Michael yelled at the same time, Maria shouted out.
"No way, that's gonna happen." As Liz remained quiet trying to come up with another alternative that didn't risk any of her love ones, including Max.
"What about option number four?" Liz stated, then when they all turned to listen to her, she added. "The reason Tess is holding all the cards is because we're letting her hold the cards. She knows what would happen if she meets with Max face to face, so she's hiding in the real world while she makes her demands in the dream world. Who out of the four of you is the expert in the dream world? Tess? No, it's Isabelle. Right now Tess holds the cards, because we don't know where she is right? It's obvious Max just can't ignore Tess's invitation, because I know none of us are willing to live with the consequences if she follows through with her threat. And we can't really hurt her in the dream world, even though it's a nice thought Maria." She gave her friend a thoughtful look before continuing. "What if Max goes into Tess's dream, but we have Isabelle follow him. Max, you'll have to distract her long enough for Isabelle to find out her real location. Once we know where she is, we go for the attack. Tess will never know what hit her until it's too late."
"Do you really think it will be that simple?" Max asked, he had learned not to second guess Liz's mind, but the plan just seemed too simple. Remembering Tess was crazy, not stupid.
"Well, it's better then option number three." Maria was quick to jump in for her friends sake. "Besides, how hard is it going to be for you to distract Tess long enough for Isabelle to get the information we need and track down the bitch in heat."
"Maria!" Liz warned to her best friend.
"Come on Liz, think about it. Tess wants Max, and well, look at him. If he makes her believe she stands a chance in hell getting some of his goods then we have distraction written all over the place."
"Maria, stop it, okay. I don't go around putting your boyfriends assets on display could you please reframe from putting Max on display"
By now Max was already beginning to blush at the two girl's words. But, neither girl noticed as both were still in their own debate.
"I'm not the one putting Max on display, Tess is and why wouldn't you put Michael on display, I mean his got a great package to display?"
This time it was Michael that was turning a rosy pink from Maria's comment about his own package. But, as before the two girl's didn't take notice as they were into their own conversation, forgetting that either of the guys were still standing right beside them.
"Michael's package isn't the question right now, Maria. Could you please focus on the conversation?"
"I am focusing on the conversation Liz. Max has a nice package to offer, you even admitted it yourself. Tess obviously wants what Max has to offer so you do the math. Geez, it's not like his actually going to sleep with the bitch. His just going to pretend like he wants to sleep with her so she won't know that Isabelle's getting her where about from her when Max has her otherwise preoccupied. Either that or we go with option number five."
"What's option number five?" Liz asked already knowing that she was going to regret asking before Maria even answered.
"Max gives the bitch what she wants, but just lies there like a dead stick in the water, basically being the worst fuck she ever gets and then she willing backs off on her own. I mean would you want to get it on with a dead stick in the water every month for the rest of your life."
"Trust me Maria, that option isn't going to work. With Max's package,
even with him just laying their like a dead stick in the water, he wouldn't ever qualify as anyone's worst fuck." Liz stated before she even realized what she was saying and who she was saying it in front of. Her and Maria had gotten so in their conversation, both girl's had forgotten that either of the guys were still standing there with them.
"Okay you two that's it, back to your corners." Michael jumped in, he had heard enough talk about his and Max's package for one day. But, whispered to Maria. "Thanks for sticking up for my package by the way."
Maria was grinning as wide a smile as possible, while Liz was blushing a deep red at how she had spoken about Max's assets in front of him and Michael to her best friend. Max seeing her embarrassment quickly leaned over to her, whispering. "I love your package too." Then spoke up to everyone. "Let's head over to my house so we can fill Isabelle in on the plan and see what she thinks about it."

Part 40
Max, Liz, Michael and Maria filled Isabelle in on their plan to finally get Tess. She was in agreement, thinking that she would more then likely be able to succeed in obtaining Tess's true location once she entered her dream world. They spent the majority of the day acting like they were cleaning Max's room, when in reality it only took a few waves of their hands to get the room in tip top, mother approved clean for his grandparents. The rest of the time they spent going over the plan to finally get Tess. Although Max hated the thought of not spending the night with Liz, he knew it was important that his sister be with him to follow him into Tess's dream so he was going to be forced to stay at his house for the night.
That promptly made Liz insist on spending the night at the Evan's home, knowing there was no way in hell she was going to leave Max defenseless again. If things went wrong she wanted to make sure someone was there to get Max out of Tess's dream.
Especially since once Isabelle had the information she would be leaving Max alone with Tess so she, Michael and Maria could go get the bitch.
Everything was set to put the plan in action. Max, himself didn't like the plan for a couple of reasons. Even though it was the best plan they had, but for one he hated the thought of having to distract Tess in any way and two, he wanted to be the one to bring Tess down. After all he had a score to settle of his own with her. With Michael, Isabelle and Maria taking her down in real life, it wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting that pleasure himself.
That evening Liz and Max laid in his bed pondering what was going to happen that coming night. They had gone over all the possible scenarios and both agreed that if it came down to it, the risk of losing a love one wasn't worth it if their friends weren't successful.
Max tried to joke it off by stating he would be the best damn dead in the water stick there ever was if it came down to it. "Max, what ever happens, I'll always love you and I know no matter what may happen tonight your heart and soul belong to me."
"God, I love you Liz, only you. Please, remember that. I might not be able to promise you what will or won't happen tonight, but I can make one promise to you. No matter what, from this day forward only you will bring me to completion." Max swore, he didn't care what Tess did or how, Max was not going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that she had given him any kind of pleasure ever again.
Knowing exactly what he was promising her, Liz wrapped her arms around his waist. They didn't have much time before she would be forced to retire to Isabelle's room for the sake of Max's parents benefit. So, Liz wanted to make the most of their time together. "Max, I want to make love to you." She whispered as she kissed his neck and chin, moving her body more over his. Needing to not only hear him say his love for her, but she needed to feel that love through their love making.
Max didn't even hesitate, he sat up and pulled his shirt over his head
letting her know he was accepting her offer freely. Liz followed his lead, removing her shirt and bra. The two embraced each other with fierce passion, but yet with the tenderness of love. Liz's pants were undone and pulled to the floor as Max's lips devoured her body. Max's pants soon followed and once they were completely naked Max picked her up and laid her down on his bed. They both knew they didn't have much time, but neither wanted to rush their union. As they both understood that after this night, there was a possibility that one of them would know another's body intimately. This might be the last time their union wouldn't be tainted by someone else.
It only took a moment of their lips being sealed together before their bodies joined in the same manner. Liz had no doubts about Max's love for her, for every movement of his body he showed her his love. He cherished her beyond words and the way he moved in and out of her body showed her how much he worshipped their bond to each other. Even if the worst case scenario happened tonight, their love for each other would never be questioned. Max brought Liz to orgasm several times before he flipped them over and allowed her to bring him to his final release.
Words of love, were spoken softly to each other as they held each other close in the after glow of their love making. By the time Isabelle came to her brother's room, they were dressed and already prepared for whatever the future would hold for them. Their love for each other cemented so no one, not even an evil, bitch in heat, from another planet could come between. They spent the rest of the evening watching videos with Max and Isabelle's parents. By ten o'clock the older Evan's excused themselves to bed, while the other three waited patiently for them to fall into a deep sleep. Once they were sure both Philip and Diane Evans were asleep, the three adjourned to Max's room. Max laid down on one side, while Isabelle laid down beside him. Liz had pulled a chair over to the side of the bed so she could watch over both of them.
Before they started though, Max reached over and took Liz's hand in his. "Are you sure?" Only he and Liz had discussed what Max would do if he had to. After all, the end results would only really affect he and Liz so they kept to themselves what their final decision was. He knew Liz was trying to keep up a tough front, even though he could tell she hated what was about to happen just as much as he did.
"It's the only way. I love you Max, no matter what, I love you." She spoke in a whispered voice.
"And I you, only you." Max returned, then let go of Liz's hand. They both agreed, mainly Max insisted that Liz not be connected to him when he joined Tess in her dream. For one he didn't want to take the chance that Tess could harm Liz in any way and for another, if it came down to where something went wrong, he couldn't bare the thought of having Liz see his betrayal to her. It was bad enough that she would know about it as it was. He turned to his sister. "You ready."
"I won't let you down Max, I swear." Isabelle promised as the two siblings closed their eyes.
Liz watched over the two of them intently, not sure what else she could do, but be there for Max. So she sat patiently waiting for any sign that he needed her and if he did, she would be there.
Max was concentrating deeply, but still was having problems finding Tess's dream world. When he had visited Liz, her dream plane had come to him so easily, almost effortlessly like her dream plane was right there waiting for him. But, with Tess he couldn't find it. He was just about to give up, thinking that it was possible that Tess wasn't asleep yet when he felt his sister's presences and with her guidance the two of them approached Tess's dream world. As per their plan, Isabelle stayed just outside of Tess's dream world so Max could enter her dreams alone. Long enough for him to get Tess's mind distracted so she could enter her mind and find her real location without Tess's knowledge.
The minute he entered her dream, he felt alone and vulnerable. He knew his sister was just beyond the dream waiting for him and his true love was only a breath away from his physical body, but that didn't matter at the moment. He was there alone with Tess and he never felt more nervous than he did at that moment in time. "I knew you would come."
Tess stated softly. She was laying on a bed surrounded by silk sheets.
Although Max couldn't see any personal body parts with the exception of her upper shoulders, arms and legs, he could easily tell that she didn't have a stitch of clothing on underneath the silk sheet she was wrapped in.
"Tess, I came to make you understand that the two of us can never be and to ask you to stop this craziness before it goes too far." Max tried to keep it together as much as he could. He hoped for all their sakes he could persuade her to stop this and just accept the fact that he was with Liz. "I know you cared a lot for Robert and he hurt you. I know you must have felt like you had no other options, but you do have options Tess. There are thousands of guys out there that would be tickled pink if they had you in their lives. Tess, please. I'm not the man you really want and if you would just give yourself a chance to find someone else..."
"For Liz to steal them too." Tess quickly interrupted Max's rehearsed speech. "No, Max, you were supposed to be mine, but Liz took you away. So I settled and what did that get me in the end. Liz even took the guy I settled for away. Well, I'm not settling any more. I want what is rightfully mine, you. I gave up everything so you would be happy and all I ask in return is a small piece of you so I can be happy. It's not like I'm asking for you to give up Liz all together."
"Tess, Liz didn't take Robert away from you. In fact I think I made it a point that Robert knew Liz was mine. Robert just wasn't the one for you. He wasn't good enough for you as far as I could tell, you deserve better than him." Max tried to keep his voice calm, hoping he could persuade Tess to see the errors of her way. It made him sick trying to sound like he truly cared about Tess's well being, but every ounce of compassion he had toward her she had destroyed. He just had to keep her distracted long enough for his sister to get the information they needed so this could be done with once and for all.
"Yes, I do deserve better then Robert could have ever offer me." Max sighed openly with relieve thinking he had finally gotten through to Tess once and for all, until her next statement. "I deserve the best. I deserve the King. I deserve you, Max and that's why we're here. Now, I know I can give you pleasure Max." Max physically paled at her statement, wanting to shout at the top of his lungs that she didn't, instead just being in her presences made him ill. Before he could say any kind of protest, she sent another shiver down his spine with her next sentence. "But, I want you to give me the pleasure I deserve." Tess could see Max's response and quickly added. "I won't force you this time Max." She pulled the sheet down exposing her breast to him once again. "This time, I want you to come to me of your own free will."
"And if I don't?"
"You will, because that's why your here. If you didn't want to be here, you wouldn't have come to begin with." She pulled herself up to a kneeling position. "You can deny it, you can say you don't want to be here Max. But, the fact is that you are here. You came to me just like I knew you would."
Max wanted to scream out to her that he only came here to find out where she really was so they could kill her, but he couldn't lose it now. He had to keep up the charade. "I'm here to try and talk some sense to you. I thought we were becoming friends, I thought we were working together to defeat our real enemies, not each other." He tried to make his voice sound sincere even though his mind was screaming for his sister to hurry up so he could get as far away from her as soon as possible.
Tess was tired of talking, tired of trying to be reasonable. In her eyes she wasn't asking for much and if Max was going to deny her just the little bit of happiness she deserved then she was prepared to teach Max and his whore a lesson. "I didn't ask you to come here to talk all night Max. You know what I want, you know I'll stand by your side and help you defeat our enemies whenever you need me. You also know what's going to happen if I don't get what I want."
Max narrowed his eyes at her threat. "I won't let you hurt anyone." Giving his own threat right back.
Narrowing her owns eyes right back at him, determination written clearly on her face, but softening her voice she replied. "It's your choice Max, I'm through talking. Stay or Leave, the choice is yours."
Max knew he was out of time by way of trying to reason with Tess. He also knew he had no choice, but to continue with his charade for a little longer. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and whispered.
"I'm staying." He then took his first step toward hell and the she devil herself. Trying to keep himself from trembling, he slowly made his way over to the bed Tess was sitting upon. Praying the entire time for his friends to come to his rescue quickly.
Isabelle took that moment to step into Tess's dream and enter her mind to discover the bitch's true location. Seeing her brother's distress her heart immediately went out to him, knowing what he had been through with Tess already. Just as she was about to use her power to enter Tess's mind, Tess looked right at her. "Sorry Isabelle, I'm just not into threesomes. You understand, don't you." And with that Isabelle found herself knocked out of Tess's dream, sitting up on Max's bed.
The moment Isabelle came out of the dream world, she looked toward her brother who was still apparently there. "Isabelle, what happened?"
She heard Liz's frantic voice ask from her seat next to Max.
"She kicked me out. Oh God! She kicked me out of her dream." Tears of fear were forming in her eyes, fear for what she would do to Max this time. Quickly she reached over to wake Max back up, unwilling to leave him alone with that bitch one-second longer than necessary. But, it was Liz who stopped her by grabbing her hand before she had a chance to touch her brother. Looking at Liz with confusion in her eyes this time, she asked. "What are you doing? We've got to wake him up. We can't leave him alone with her." The panic was evident in Isabelle's voice.
"Isabelle, Max and I have already discussed this. We both knew it was possible that the plan wouldn't work. Tess is crazy, not stupid. Her threats are very real and Max would die himself before he would allow someone we love to be harmed further by Tess." Liz tried explained to Max's sister, all the while her own heart was breaking.
Isabelle looked at Liz as if she had lost her mind. "So what? What are you saying exactly? That we should just leave him there, all alone?"
Liz raised her tear stained eyes at Isabelle. "He won't be alone. I'm connected to Max through our bond, Tess can't kick me out of her dream.
I'll be with Max. You can try to get in through me, but I'm not sure if it will work. Either way, Max won't go through this alone." With that said Liz laid down next to Max and laced her fingers with his.

"You will, because that's why your here. If you didn't want to be here, you wouldn't have come to begin with." She pulled herself up to a kneeling position. "You can deny it, you can say you don't want to be here Max. But, the fact is that you are here. You came to me just like I knew you would."
Max wanted to scream out to her that he only came here to find out where she really was so they could kill her, but he couldn't lose it now. He had to keep up the charade. "I'm here to try and talk some sense to you. I thought we were becoming friends, I thought we were working together to defeat our real enemies, not each other." He tried to make his voice sound sincere even though his mind was screaming for his sister to hurry up so he could get as far away from her as soon as possible.
Tess was tired of talking, tired of trying to be reasonable. In her eyes she wasn't asking for much and if Max was going to deny her just the little bit of happiness she deserved then she was prepared to teach Max and his whore a lesson. "I didn't ask you to come here to talk all night Max. You know what I want, you know I'll stand by your side and help you defeat our enemies whenever you need me. You also know what's going to happen if I don't get what I want."
Max narrowed his eyes at her threat. "I won't let you hurt anyone." Giving his own threat right back.
Narrowing her owns eyes right back at him, determination written clearly on her face, but softening her voice she replied. "It's your choice Max, I'm through talking. Stay or Leave, the choice is yours."
Max knew he was out of time by way of trying to reason with Tess. He also knew he had no choice, but to continue with his charade for a little longer. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and whispered.
"I'm staying." He then took his first step toward hell and the she devil herself. Trying to keep himself from trembling, he slowly made his way over to the bed Tess was sitting upon. Praying the entire time for his friends to come to his rescue quickly.
Isabelle took that moment to step into Tess's dream and enter her mind to discover the bitch's true location. Seeing her brother's distress her heart immediately went out to him, knowing what he had been through with Tess already. Just as she was about to use her power to enter Tess's mind, Tess looked right at her. "Sorry Isabelle, I'm just not into threesomes. You understand, don't you." And with that Isabelle found herself knocked out of Tess's dream, sitting up on Max's bed.
The moment Isabelle came out of the dream world, she looked toward her brother who was still apparently there. "Isabelle, what happened?"
She heard Liz's frantic voice ask from her seat next to Max.
"She kicked me out. Oh God! She kicked me out of her dream." Tears of fear were forming in her eyes, fear for what she would do to Max this time. Quickly she reached over to wake Max back up, unwilling to leave him alone with that bitch one-second longer than necessary. But, it was Liz who stopped her by grabbing her hand before she had a chance to touch her brother. Looking at Liz with confusion in her eyes this time, she asked. "What are you doing? We've got to wake him up. We can't leave him alone with her." The panic was evident in Isabelle's voice.
"Isabelle, Max and I have already discussed this. We both knew it was possible that the plan wouldn't work. Tess is crazy, not stupid. Her threats are very real and Max would die himself before he would allow someone we love to be harmed further by Tess." Liz tried explained to Max's sister, all the while her own heart was breaking.
Isabelle looked at Liz as if she had lost her mind. "So what? What are you saying exactly? That we should just leave him there, all alone?"
Liz raised her tear stained eyes at Isabelle. "He won't be alone. I'm connected to Max through our bond, Tess can't kick me out of her dream.
I'll be with Max. You can try to get in through me, but I'm not sure if it will work. Either way, Max won't go through this alone." With that said Liz laid down next to Max and laced her fingers with his.

Part 40
Max, Liz, Michael and Maria filled Isabelle in on their plan to finally get Tess. She was in agreement, thinking that she would more then likely be able to succeed in obtaining Tess's true location once she entered her dream world. They spent the majority of the day acting like they were cleaning Max's room, when in reality it only took a few waves of their hands to get the room in tip top, mother approved clean for his grandparents. The rest of the time they spent going over the plan to finally get Tess. Although Max hated the thought of not spending the night with Liz, he knew it was important that his sister be with him to follow him into Tess's dream so he was going to be forced to stay at his house for the night.
That promptly made Liz insist on spending the night at the Evan's home, knowing there was no way in hell she was going to leave Max defenseless again. If things went wrong she wanted to make sure someone was there to get Max out of Tess's dream.
Especially since once Isabelle had the information she would be leaving Max alone with Tess so she, Michael and Maria could go get the bitch.
Everything was set to put the plan in action. Max, himself didn't like the plan for a couple of reasons. Even though it was the best plan they had, but for one he hated the thought of having to distract Tess in any way and two, he wanted to be the one to bring Tess down. After all he had a score to settle of his own with her. With Michael, Isabelle and Maria taking her down in real life, it wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting that pleasure himself.
That evening Liz and Max laid in his bed pondering what was going to happen that coming night. They had gone over all the possible scenarios and both agreed that if it came down to it, the risk of losing a love one wasn't worth it if their friends weren't successful.
Max tried to joke it off by stating he would be the best damn dead in the water stick there ever was if it came down to it. "Max, what ever happens, I'll always love you and I know no matter what may happen tonight your heart and soul belong to me."
"God, I love you Liz, only you. Please, remember that. I might not be able to promise you what will or won't happen tonight, but I can make one promise to you. No matter what, from this day forward only you will bring me to completion." Max swore, he didn't care what Tess did or how, Max was not going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that she had given him any kind of pleasure ever again.
Knowing exactly what he was promising her, Liz wrapped her arms around his waist. They didn't have much time before she would be forced to retire to Isabelle's room for the sake of Max's parents benefit. So, Liz wanted to make the most of their time together. "Max, I want to make love to you." She whispered as she kissed his neck and chin, moving her body more over his. Needing to not only hear him say his love for her, but she needed to feel that love through their love making.
Max didn't even hesitate, he sat up and pulled his shirt over his head
letting her know he was accepting her offer freely. Liz followed his lead, removing her shirt and bra. The two embraced each other with fierce passion, but yet with the tenderness of love. Liz's pants were undone and pulled to the floor as Max's lips devoured her body. Max's pants soon followed and once they were completely naked Max picked her up and laid her down on his bed. They both knew they didn't have much time, but neither wanted to rush their union. As they both understood that after this night, there was a possibility that one of them would know another's body intimately. This might be the last time their union wouldn't be tainted by someone else.
It only took a moment of their lips being sealed together before their bodies joined in the same manner. Liz had no doubts about Max's love for her, for every movement of his body he showed her his love. He cherished her beyond words and the way he moved in and out of her body showed her how much he worshipped their bond to each other. Even if the worst case scenario happened tonight, their love for each other would never be questioned. Max brought Liz to orgasm several times before he flipped them over and allowed her to bring him to his final release.
Words of love, were spoken softly to each other as they held each other close in the after glow of their love making. By the time Isabelle came to her brother's room, they were dressed and already prepared for whatever the future would hold for them. Their love for each other cemented so no one, not even an evil, bitch in heat, from another planet could come between. They spent the rest of the evening watching videos with Max and Isabelle's parents. By ten o'clock the older Evan's excused themselves to bed, while the other three waited patiently for them to fall into a deep sleep. Once they were sure both Philip and Diane Evans were asleep, the three adjourned to Max's room. Max laid down on one side, while Isabelle laid down beside him. Liz had pulled a chair over to the side of the bed so she could watch over both of them.
Before they started though, Max reached over and took Liz's hand in his. "Are you sure?" Only he and Liz had discussed what Max would do if he had to. After all, the end results would only really affect he and Liz so they kept to themselves what their final decision was. He knew Liz was trying to keep up a tough front, even though he could tell she hated what was about to happen just as much as he did.
"It's the only way. I love you Max, no matter what, I love you." She spoke in a whispered voice.
"And I you, only you." Max returned, then let go of Liz's hand. They both agreed, mainly Max insisted that Liz not be connected to him when he joined Tess in her dream. For one he didn't want to take the chance that Tess could harm Liz in any way and for another, if it came down to where something went wrong, he couldn't bare the thought of having Liz see his betrayal to her. It was bad enough that she would know about it as it was. He turned to his sister. "You ready."
"I won't let you down Max, I swear." Isabelle promised as the two siblings closed their eyes.
Liz watched over the two of them intently, not sure what else she could do, but be there for Max. So she sat patiently waiting for any sign that he needed her and if he did, she would be there.
Max was concentrating deeply, but still was having problems finding Tess's dream world. When he had visited Liz, her dream plane had come to him so easily, almost effortlessly like her dream plane was right there waiting for him. But, with Tess he couldn't find it. He was just about to give up, thinking that it was possible that Tess wasn't asleep yet when he felt his sister's presences and with her guidance the two of them approached Tess's dream world. As per their plan, Isabelle stayed just outside of Tess's dream world so Max could enter her dreams alone. Long enough for him to get Tess's mind distracted so she could enter her mind and find her real location without Tess's knowledge.
The minute he entered her dream, he felt alone and vulnerable. He knew his sister was just beyond the dream waiting for him and his true love was only a breath away from his physical body, but that didn't matter at the moment. He was there alone with Tess and he never felt more nervous than he did at that moment in time. "I knew you would come."
Tess stated softly. She was laying on a bed surrounded by silk sheets.
Although Max couldn't see any personal body parts with the exception of her upper shoulders, arms and legs, he could easily tell that she didn't have a stitch of clothing on underneath the silk sheet she was wrapped in.
"Tess, I came to make you understand that the two of us can never be and to ask you to stop this craziness before it goes too far." Max tried to keep it together as much as he could. He hoped for all their sakes he could persuade her to stop this and just accept the fact that he was with Liz. "I know you cared a lot for Robert and he hurt you. I know you must have felt like you had no other options, but you do have options Tess. There are thousands of guys out there that would be tickled pink if they had you in their lives. Tess, please. I'm not the man you really want and if you would just give yourself a chance to find someone else..."
"For Liz to steal them too." Tess quickly interrupted Max's rehearsed speech. "No, Max, you were supposed to be mine, but Liz took you away. So I settled and what did that get me in the end. Liz even took the guy I settled for away. Well, I'm not settling any more. I want what is rightfully mine, you. I gave up everything so you would be happy and all I ask in return is a small piece of you so I can be happy. It's not like I'm asking for you to give up Liz all together."
"Tess, Liz didn't take Robert away from you. In fact I think I made it a point that Robert knew Liz was mine. Robert just wasn't the one for you. He wasn't good enough for you as far as I could tell, you deserve better than him." Max tried to keep his voice calm, hoping he could persuade Tess to see the errors of her way. It made him sick trying to sound like he truly cared about Tess's well being, but every ounce of compassion he had toward her she had destroyed. He just had to keep her distracted long enough for his sister to get the information they needed so this could be done with once and for all.
"Yes, I do deserve better then Robert could have ever offer me." Max sighed openly with relieve thinking he had finally gotten through to Tess once and for all, until her next statement. "I deserve the best. I deserve the King. I deserve you, Max and that's why we're here. Now, I know I can give you pleasure Max." Max physically paled at her statement, wanting to shout at the top of his lungs that she didn't, instead just being in her presences made him ill. Before he could say any kind of protest, she sent another shiver down his spine with her next sentence. "But, I want you to give me the pleasure I deserve." Tess could see Max's response and quickly added. "I won't force you this time Max." She pulled the sheet down exposing her breast to him once again. "This time, I want you to come to me of your own free will."
"And if I don't?"
"You will, because that's why your here. If you didn't want to be here, you wouldn't have come to begin with." She pulled herself up to a kneeling position. "You can deny it, you can say you don't want to be here Max. But, the fact is that you are here. You came to me just like I knew you would."

Narrowing her owns eyes right back at him, determination written clearly on her face, but softening her voice she replied. "It's your choice Max, I'm through talking. Stay or Leave, the choice is yours."

Max narrowed his eyes at her threat. "I won't let you hurt anyone." Giving his own threat right back.
Narrowing her owns eyes right back at him, determination written clearly on her face, but softening her voice she replied. "It's your choice Max, I'm through talking. Stay or Leave, the choice is yours."
Max knew he was out of time by way of trying to reason with Tess. He also knew he had no choice, but to continue with his charade for a little longer. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and whispered.
"I'm staying." He then took his first step toward hell and the she devil herself. Trying to keep himself from trembling, he slowly made his way over to the bed Tess was sitting upon. Praying the entire time for his friends to come to his rescue quickly.
Isabelle took that moment to step into Tess's dream and enter her mind to discover the bitch's true location. Seeing her brother's distress her heart immediately went out to him, knowing what he had been through with Tess already. Just as she was about to use her power to enter Tess's mind, Tess looked right at her. "Sorry Isabelle, I'm just not into threesomes. You understand, don't you." And with that Isabelle found herself knocked out of Tess's dream, sitting up on Max's bed.
The moment Isabelle came out of the dream world, she looked toward her brother who was still apparently there. "Isabelle, what happened?"
She heard Liz's frantic voice ask from her seat next to Max.
"She kicked me out. Oh God! She kicked me out of her dream." Tears of fear were forming in her eyes, fear for what she would do to Max this time. Quickly she reached over to wake Max back up, unwilling to leave him alone with that bitch one-second longer than necessary. But, it was Liz who stopped her by grabbing her hand before she had a chance to touch her brother. Looking at Liz with confusion in her eyes this time, she asked. "What are you doing? We've got to wake him up. We can't leave him alone with her." The panic was evident in Isabelle's voice.
"Isabelle, Max and I have already discussed this. We both knew it was possible that the plan wouldn't work. Tess is crazy, not stupid. Her threats are very real and Max would die himself before he would allow someone we love to be harmed further by Tess." Liz tried explained to Max's sister, all the while her own heart was breaking.
Isabelle looked at Liz as if she had lost her mind. "So what? What are you saying exactly? That we should just leave him there, all alone?"
Liz raised her tear stained eyes at Isabelle. "He won't be alone. I'm connected to Max through our bond, Tess can't kick me out of her dream.
I'll be with Max. You can try to get in through me, but I'm not sure if it will work. Either way, Max won't go through this alone." With that said Liz laid down next to Max and laced her fingers with his.

Part 41
Max had seen his sister enter into Tess's dream world and he felt a sense of security upon seeing her face. Then just as fast Tess's words hit him and his last hope faded as Isabelle seemed to disappear as quickly as she had appeared. Fear gripped his heart, knowing what was to come next. For a second he sat on the bed rigid, not sure what to do, his mind racing for a way to get out of his current situation. Until Tess touched his chin with the tip of her finger in an attempt to turn his head in her direction. Her touched inciting a feeling so lethal he jumped off the bed. "Don't Touch Me!" He sneered in her direction without actually looking at her.
"Fine, I won't touch you!" Tess snapped back, then softly she added.
"But, I want you to touch me. It's your choice Max. Like I said before, I'm not going to force you, but I'm done talking." She laid back on the bed. The way Tess seen it, if Max didn't want her to please him this time that was fine with her. After all, hadn't she given him pleasure the last time they had been together. It was his turn to return the favor.
His head lowered in defeat, knowing good and well if he didn't do something soon someone was going to get hurt or possibly worst. He had no doubt Tess would follow through on her previous threat. But, that was the catch twenty-two. If he didn't succumb to Tess's demand, someone Liz cared about would be hurt. But, if he did give in, then he would hurt the one person that meant the most to him in the world, Liz.
The choice was an impossible one for him to make. He and Liz had already discussed the possibility of the plan failing and what he would be forced to do. Making that choice with Liz by his side, was a lot easier then actually doing it when the time came to follow through. Just the thought of putting one finger on Tess at this point after what she had done to him repulsed him so completely he didn't think he would have the strength to even attempt it. But, how could he not? He had to try one final attempt to get Tess to stop this craziness. "Tess, I.."
Leveling her eyes upon him, she coldly stated. "I said I was done talking."
Max's body was physically trembling with fear. He knew what he had to do, yet he couldn't bring himself to take that first step toward Tess. Suddenly he felt a sense of warmth and security come over him as a hand reached out and touched his arm gently. Lifting his head and turning it in the direction of the safety the hand was offering him. There by his side stood his angel, Liz. "Liz?" He asked unsure if he could really believe his eyes.
"I'm here Max, I won't leave you." Liz whispered softly, she could feel his fear, feel his body shaking and in that moment she knew she had made the right decision in coming to him.
"NO!" Tess shouted, wrapping the sheet around her body and storming over to the two of them. "Get Out! This is my time with Max and I don't want you here!" Tess's face was turning beet red with anger. Liz Parker had already stolen everything that was already rightly hers,
she wasn't about to share her one and only night a month that she got with Max, with her. She tried to throw Liz out of her dream immediately like she had Isabelle, but try as hard as she could, Liz remained.
"It won't work Tess, Max is bonded to me. If you wish to pursue this sick game of yours and insist on being with Max, then you have to accept me as part of that package. Because you can't break the bond between us. As long as I choose to stand beside Max, as his bonded mate, it is my choice to stay, not yours." Liz sneered right back at the blond bitch. She had enough of playing this game her way, it was about time Tess learned that her and Max were a team.
"That Is Not Part Of The DEAL!" Tess yelled, infuriated at the nerve of the inferior human. Who did she think she was? Knowing she couldn't force Liz out of her dream as long as her body was connected to Max's and apparently they were connected physically in the real world. Her mind came up with another plan. If little Liz Parker wanted to try to play rough with her, then she could play rough with little Lizzie Parker right back. "Fine, have it your way." She said as she narrowed her eyes on Liz. Keeping them locked on Liz, she then added. "If watching gets you off...Kiss me Max."
Max's eyes went wide. It was one thing to have to betray Liz in Tess's dream. It was a whole nothing ball game to betray Liz with her standing right next to him. He started to shake his head no, he couldn't, he wouldn't. Until Liz spoke up. "It's okay Max. I'm right here. She can't make me leave." Max looked over to Liz to plead with her not to make him do this and that's when he saw it. Liz winked at him quickly and in that instant he realized what she had been trying to tell him all this time. Tess could kick Isabelle out of her dreams, but she couldn't kick Liz out. Liz was in his room with him and Isabelle. Isabelle could come into Tess's dream through Liz and Liz was using herself and him to distract Tess the way they were supposed to distract her to begin with.
Turning to Liz fully, he asked. "Are you sure?" Liz's eyes looked straight into his, before motioning ever so slightly to her left, then back to his almost as if she hadn't ever broken eye contact with him.
Since his back was turned toward Tess, Max's eyes followed the direction Liz's had taken for just that split second and he saw her. Standing in the back dark corner of the room, was his sister.
Liz smiled brightly at Max as she could see the relief spread over his face. In that instant she knew Max understood her plan. "I'm sure Max. You need to do this tonight. Tomorrow it will just be the two of us again." She leaned up and kissed him softly whispering as softly as possible for only him to hear her. "Make it convincing." Then pushed him slightly letting him know it was up to him now to distract Tess using any method he had to.
With his spirit of hope reborn, he turned back to Tess. "Okay, I'm yours...for tonight." He stepped away from Liz and took a step toward Tess. He leaned down and placed a small peck upon her lips. Pulling back to fight the urge to vomit, he turned back to Liz who only gave him an approving nod. Turning back to Tess he took a deep breath, then took her forcefully into his arms and kissed her. It wasn't a kiss that was soft or gentle or full of any kind of passion. It was hard and rough, one of anger and hatred. Every vile feeling he had for Tess he put into that one kiss.
But, to Tess she just assumed it was his alien side coming out for her and she reveled in it. Thinking finally she had won and Max was finally coming around to her. In fact, she was so taken with Max's lips upon her, she never even thought twice about the tingle she felt inside of her mind. Gaining the necessary information from Tess was a lot simpler than Isabelle had originally thought it would be once Max had distracted her mind completely. Once she had the information, she signaled Liz that she was successful. Making a motion to let her know it was time to leave, but Liz shook her head. She wasn't going to leave Max alone no matter what. But, one thing was for sure, in the last few hours of Tess's life. Liz was going to make sure she knew once and for all who Max truly loved.
It was one of the hardest things Liz had ever had to do, stand there and watch the love of her life, her bonded mate kiss someone else. Especially, Tess of all people, but as she watched Max and Tess kiss she knew the truth. For Liz of all people knew Max's kisses better then anyone and as she stood off to the side of the two of them as Max kissed Tess roughly. The truth became so clear to her, Max wasn't kissing Tess with the passion she had known and felt with each kiss he gave her. Max was one of the most passionate individual's that Liz had ever known. His heart and soul were so pure and when he gave his heart to someone it was completely. Whether it be in friendship, with his family, or her and that's why she knew she had no need to be jealous over the kiss that was taken place in front of her eyes. The more she watched the two of them, the more it became so clear and obvious. While she could tell Max was doing his job to distract Tess and Tess was loving every second, but there was no passion. No feeling of warmth or love or even lust coming from Max. It was like his body was a robot, moving in a programed mannerism without any feelings at all.
Once she realized the truth, Liz couldn't stop the smile that lit her face as a planned formed in her head.
She would never be able to put Tess in her place physically, because she was smart enough to know that Tess with her powers was more then capable of winning any physical match if they came to blows. Sure she might be able to get one or two good kicks in, but she would never come out on top in the end. Physically that was, so Liz realized she would have to beat her down a notch or two other ways. Once Liz got the signal from Isabelle that she had the necessary information on Tess's location and she motioned that Isabelle should get going, Liz put her plan in action. Reaching out with only one finger, she barely touched Max's back. Careful not to let Tess know that she was interrupting her kiss with Max. For Liz knew they would have to keep Tess distracted for a while so their friends could get to Tess and take care of her once and for all. But, that didn't mean Liz couldn't have fun messing with the blond bitch in heat until that time came.
With every second that passed that his mouth had to come in contact with Tess's made Max more pissed. The more pissed off he became the more rougher his kiss became. It took everything in him not to vomit in her mouth and if he didn't know how important the plan was to keep Tess distracted, he would have gladly done that just to prove his point to her how vile she really made him feel. He could tell by the way Tess was kissing him back that she was really believing that he was enjoying the kiss. The thought he was giving her any pleasure at all was making him ill, so he yanked on her hair hard and bit down on her lip hard enough to draw blood. For a moment he thought he had gone to far and Tess was going to pull away from him, but she only moaned into his mouth and tried to shove her tongue down his throat. That was the last straw, Max couldn't take the agony of having to have her taste upon him any more. He wanted the sick feeling inside of him to stop and as he came to the end of his will power to stay strong, he felt it.
It was just a soft barely a wisp of a touch upon his back. But, he knew that touch. It was his salvation, his angel and he never loved her more for knowing that she was telling him the job was done. Max swiftly pulled his mouth away from Tess's, wiping it quickly off with the sleeve of his shirt. While he swallowed the bile back that had started to rise from his stomach, almost making him gag when he did so.
Tess smirked at him as he withdrew from their kiss. She had never been kissed like that in her life. It had been so powerful, almost hurtful.
Especially when he had bit her lip, but she had always known that when the two of them would finally give in to each other, it would be explosive. "Wow! I'm impressed." She stated seductively, while licking her lips. She didn't even think twice about the fact that Max was actively gagging in front of her or how he had wiped his mouth off in disgust the moment his lips had left hers.
"Then obviously you've never been kissed with passion if you think that was impressive." Liz spoke up rudely making both Max and Tess to turn in her direction.
"What are you talking about? I've never seen Max kiss you like that!" Tess redirected.
"And I hope to God you never do. I expect a lot more from the man I'm kissing." Liz goaded causing Max to throw her a what do you think your doing look. The last thing he wanted was to have to kiss Tess again, but Liz's next statement made him realize what she was doing and he couldn't keep the smile off his face. "Let me show you what I mean."
Liz stepped up to Max with Tess still standing very closely to him. "Kiss me Max."
Max didn't need to be prompted twice, already knowing where Liz's mind was going. He pulled her flush up against her body in a tight, yet gentle embrace. His hands gently cupped her face as their eyes locked with love shining in them and every so tenderly brought their lips together in a soul searing kiss. Full of passion and love. It started soft and tender, but soon became deep and passionate. Her sweet taste, the taste that Max considered heaven swept him away in a sea of desire for her and it showed easily. His hands moving through her hair, down her neck, around her waist. He couldn't get enough of her. Liz was the one who made his heart beat faster, made his blood boil with desire and his soul complete. He love her so completely, so unconditionally and he gave himself totally to her in that one kiss.
Tess watched unable to take her eyes off the two of them. She had witnessed the two of them sucking face so many times in the past, but she had never truly watched them. Seeing the way Max held her, touched her. The way his mouth literally devoured hers, like he couldn't get enough of her taste. For the first time she really opened her eyes and saw the difference between the two kisses. The one he had given her versus the way he was kissing Liz. There was no comparing the two and her eyes narrowed with fire. Thinking there was no way she was going to let little Lizzie Parker beat her when it came to passion. After all sex between two hybrids was supposed to be so much more superior then anything two lowly humans would ever experience. At least that was what Nasedo had always told her. "ENOUGH!" Tess finally cried out, her blood was boiling with anger that Max hadn't kissed her like he was kissing Liz.
Max and Liz reluctantly broke apart, their eyes remained closed for a second longer, both reveling in the love they felt from each other's kiss. When Liz finally opened her eyes, she exclaimed. "Now that was WOW!" Just to goad Tess.
But, Tess was having none of it. She narrowed her eyes at Max and demanded. "Now it's my turn, kiss me again Max and it better be like that."
Max looked at Tess, then to Liz, then back to Tess. Shaking his head, he stated honestly. "I couldn't even if I wanted to."
"You Better!" The nerve of Max to think he didn't need to comply with her simple request.
"I'm telling you, I can't." Max tried to control the urge to smack her, girl or no girl, dream or no dream, she was about to be punched.
"And I'm telling you, you better or else!" There was no way Tess wasn't going to experience every bit of Max that he had to offer a female. Considering she was his wife first.
Seeing Max starting to lose his cool with the way Tess was making demands on him, Liz quickly spoke up. "He's telling you the truth Tess. In order to kiss someone with passion like that, you have to have feelings for that person. Be it love or lust and like it or not,
Max feels nothing for you except hatred!"

Part 42
Isabelle snapped out of the dream world and looked at her brother, then the woman who held his heart. "I've never met anyone braver in all my life." She whispered to the two of them, then jumped up and quickly climbed out of Max's bedroom window. She knew both Max and Liz were counting on them and there was no way she was going to let either of them down. The bitch was going down and she was going down tonight.
Running at top speed to Maria's Jetta where both Maria and Michael were sitting. She hopped in and said. "I've got it! Let's go!"
"Wait! Where's Liz?" The original plan had Liz coming with them, since she wanted to be there to make sure Michael and Isabelle took care of Tess once and for all since Max wouldn't be able to do it himself. So when Liz didn't come with Isabelle, Maria instantly grew worried.
"She's with Max. We don't have time for this, now let's hurry. I'll explain on the way." With that statement from Isabelle, Michael didn't hesitate. He threw the car in gear and the three of them sped off as Isabelle instructed them where Tess really was and then went into detail of what was happening in the dream that both Max and Liz were now a part of. Once Isabelle had finished, all three friends had the exact same thought on their mind. That bitch is going down.
The only problem was that Tess's physical body was in a motel room located halfway between Roswell and Albuquerque, which meant that even with Michael breaking the speed limits it was going to take them some time to reach her. "She knew we might try something like this, didn't she?" Maria asked out loud, but more to herself. "If she knew you were there to kick you out of her dream, then she knew that we would have had a plan to get to her."
"It's possible Maria, but then both Michael and Max have always been able to tell when I've made appearances in their dreams. It might just have something to do with us all being the same."
"Yeah, well I think she had some idea that we might try something like this so she made sure she was far enough out of our range to give her enough time to get what she wanted from Max before we had time to get to her." Maria surmised.
"But, I'm pretty sure she didn't count on Liz being part of the equation. Since Liz is bonded to Max, Tess couldn't kick her out of her dream and Liz knew it. I don't know how she figured it out, but she knew it. Liz is our ace in the hole and I got a feeling she'll do anything to make sure Tess doesn't get what she obviously wants from Max. God, that bitch is unbelievable. First she threatens the people that Max cares about, then rapes him and now she honestly believes he would want to actually please her. She's fucking crazy!"
"Crazy, but not stupid. Now we've got to be smart about this and start thinking of a plan of our own once we get there. If she did have an idea that we would be coming after her, then I doubt that she wouldn't have some kind of plan of her own to make sure she gets away once again." Maria leaned over and placed a kiss on Michael's cheek upon him finishing his statement. Turning to face her for a moment before turning his eyes back on the highway. "What was that for?"
Maria smiled brightly at Michael before replying. "For acting like the man I know you could be instead of just rushing in with your fist flying first. You've come a long way Michael Guerin and I just wanted you to know that...that I love you."
Michael felt a pull in his mind, a pull he couldn't ignore and immediately opened his mouth and returned. "I love you too, Maria." Then his eyes lifted to the back seat of the Jetta to give Isabelle the evil eye. "You know, I would have said it on my own. You didn't have to pull that crap on me."
Isabelle simply shrugged her shoulders. "I know, but I just thought it would be fun to let Maria know she has options now that she didn't have before when you get out of line."
Michael's eyes bugged out and he looked back at Isabelle, then to Maria who was obviously enjoying Isabelle's comment before returning his eyes back to the road. Muttering under his breath. "Women!" Which only caused both the girls in the Jetta to burst out laughing. After a few moments of being the butt of their joke, Michael stated. "Okay can we get back to coming up with a plan of attack now?" All three of them started throwing out ideas as they continued to race down the highway, all praying they would get there in time to make sure they didn't let their two friends down who were still in the dream world with the bitch in heat.
Meanwhile back in the dream world, Tess was fuming over the fact that Max would never give her the kind of passion he showered upon Liz. Both Liz and Max could see that she was about to throw a fit and Max feared they might have pushed Tess too far this time. His concern for Liz's safety still his number one priority. No matter how fun it was to put her in her place for those few minutes, he knew more then anyone just how far she could take things. The madder Tess seem to get, the more concern he became. He knew his friends were on their way to rescue them, but then again would they be able to get there in time. That was the biggest question at the moment. His worst fear came to life in the next second, with a flick of her wrist Liz was tossed against the wall and was stuck hanging there. "TESS, NO!" He shouted out as he made an attempt to move in her direction only to find his own feet stuck to the floor.
"You two think your sooo funny. SOoooo in love, well it sickens me and I'm tired of being played like some fool. You don't want to make love to me Max, FINE! I don't want your love anyway. Your kind of love is weak and pathetic. But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to get what I do want. You think what you have with that pathetic human is great and exciting. Well, you've never had alien sex before, but your going to and if Liz insist on being here then she can see for herself just how fucking exciting hot alien sex can be."
Max's body began to tremble, his stomach ready to vomit at the thought of not only having to touch Tess, but to have to do it in front of Liz.
His head began to shake as he chanted the word no over and over in a mere whisper. Liz could see what the thought of having to be with Tess was doing to Max. It didn't take a genius to figure out that his worst nightmare was playing out in his mind. "STOP IT, Tess! He doesn't want to be with you, can't you see that. Look At Him! Stop, please. STOP!" Liz's own tears were falling, not for herself or for what she was about to have to witness. But, for the man she loved with all her heart.
Turning her rage on Liz, she waved her hand in Liz's direction and a piece of tape formed over her mouth. "There that will shut you up, you home wrecker." Tess then turned to Max and his own self defense went into action before she could take another step closer to him. In an instant his body was surrounded in his green shield with him on one side and Tess on the other. He actually hadn't meant for his shield to go up, it was just a natural instinct that caused it.
But, instead of Tess getting even more upset like he had thought she would, Tess began to laugh. "Max, I'm not going to force you. I told you that earlier. I want you to come to me of your own free choice." She walked back over to the bed and laid down upon it. "Do I stay and get what I want from you or do I go? The choice is yours."
Max lowered his shield as he looked to Liz. They both knew what the consequences would be if Max didn't follow through with Tess's request.
She would no doubt either harm or kill someone they cared about if she didn't get what she wanted. Not to mention if he didn't keep her here in the dream world until their friends took action, this same nightmare wouldn't end tonight. They would be forced to relive it again and again. Looking Liz in the eye, he mouthed the words, I'm sorry.
Without the ability to speak back to him, she only nodded her head in understanding, then closed her eyes. She wasn't about to leave Max alone, yet she couldn't watch the man she love be forced to have sex with another female. Especially Tess of all people.
When Liz closed her eyes, Max understood and knew it was now up to him to keep Tess occupied long enough for their friends to rescue them. He had no idea where Tess's physical body was located so he had no idea how long he was going to be forced into playing along in this nightmare. As slow as a snail, he moved toward the bed where Tess was currently laying upon with a smug look of victory on her face. Fighting the wave of sickness in his stomach he stood facing her next to the bed and stated in a cold heartless voice. "You will never have my heart or my soul and if you want my body to use as your personal play toy then you'll have to be the one to make use of it."
Glaring at him, Tess commanded. "Take your clothes off." Once again Max moved at the speed of a snail, every so slowly he removed his shirt, undid his pants and slid them down his legs. Bending down he slowly untied his shoes before taking the longest time known to mankind to remove them. His socks followed just as slowly before he stood back up again. Tess reached over and Max's body reflexively took a step away from her touch. "The boxer Max, get rid of them too." She stated as her finger pulled at the elastic waist band. Very reluctantly Max slowly removed his final piece of clothing from his body and as he looked up and saw the hungry look in Tess's eyes as she stared upon his very unaroused penis Max couldn't hold in the feeling of sickness any longer. He vomited the contents of his stomach right next to the bed that he was standing at. If he hadn't of taken that step back when Tess had reached out to touch his boxers, Max was sure he would have puked right on top of her. Which only made him mad at himself for taking the step away from her, vowing next time he would hit his target. "I see I have my work cut out for me again this time, but don't worry Max. I'll make sure your more then ready for me in no time."
Tess waved her hand over the spot where Max had lost control of his bodily functions, acting like it had never happened. Refusing to admit that she was the reason he had gotten ill in the first place. She also didn't think much of the way Max's body had not responded to hers at all, because it had been the same way the last time she had been with him. But, with some effort on her part she was able to bring him around that time and she was positive she would be able to bring him around to her again this time. Holding out her hand, she made her offer for him to join her. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes in silent prayer that his friends would hurry he took her hand and followed her down on to the bed.
Tess's hands immediately began to roam over his body as he laid there stiff as a board, well stiff all except one particular spot of his body. His penis remained lucid, laying against his curls, completely unaffected by her touch. The last time the two of them were together, Max had been taken by such complete surprise that he didn't have time to think to control himself. But, this time he felt nothing but hatred for the bitch in heat who was currently touching his face, neck, chest and legs. The entire time, Max laid there like a dead log just like Maria had joked about him doing earlier that day. His mind taking complete control of his body and refusing to allow anything she did to him to effect him in any way shape or form. Her cold hands slid around his manhood stroking him, her fingers manipulating his balls as she slid her over sized tits across his chest trying to get his body to respond to hers.
She licked and kissed and sucked his nipples, while her hand was in constant motion with his penis. She worked her way down his stomach using her breast to try to stimulate a reaction from his manhood. When that didn't work she moved down further and used her tongue and mouth.
Only to discover that nothing she tried got any kind of reaction from Max at all, not even a small twitch. Frustrated beyond belief she finally pulled away, screaming out. "Are you just going to lay there?"
With her head turned toward Max, Tess missed the smile that formed on the face of the other female in the room who was still stuck against the wall. But, Max didn't, his eyes had constantly looked over to see how Liz was doing. His concern for her and her well being was the only thing keeping him strong enough to endure Tess's attempt to seduce his body. Seeing the smile upon Liz's face, even with her mouth covered in tape, Max felt a surge of strength and confidence he hadn't had before.
"It's not my fault you don't do it for me Tess. I can't help that you DON'T turn me on!" His eyes looked back over to where Liz hung upon the wall for a split second needing to see her to keep his confidence.
That simple look wasn't missed by Tess this time. She had been so focused to make Max aroused that she hadn't even bothered to think about Liz still being in the room with them. Tess moved off the bed and Max smirked his own victory smile thinking he had actually won this battle of wills. Until Tess made her way over to where Liz hung on the wall. Max immediately tried to jump off the bed to run to Liz's aide only to discover once again he was unable to move. "Well, I think your wrong because I remember a certain fantasy that got you very hot before."
Liz had kept her eyes closed, but her ears were listening to every single thing that was happening in the room. She knew that Max was being successful in his desire to keep his body under control and when Tess finally gave up in frustration, she couldn't help the smile that crossed her face. It was when she heard Tess's voice coming closer to her that she finally opened her eyes to come eye to eye with her greatest enemy. Not able to move due to Tess's use of her powers and unable to speak due to the tape over her mouth her eyes went wide when Tess began to undress her. "And if I recall, you didn't mind this one fantasy of Max's too much yourself at the time." Tess stated as she finished removing Liz's clothes. Turning to Max, there was no denying the change in his body as his eyes took in Liz's naked form.

Part 42
Isabelle snapped out of the dream world and looked at her brother, then the woman who held his heart. "I've never met anyone braver in all my life." She whispered to the two of them, then jumped up and quickly climbed out of Max's bedroom window. She knew both Max and Liz were counting on them and there was no way she was going to let either of them down. The bitch was going down and she was going down tonight.
Running at top speed to Maria's Jetta where both Maria and Michael were sitting. She hopped in and said. "I've got it! Let's go!"
"Wait! Where's Liz?" The original plan had Liz coming with them, since she wanted to be there to make sure Michael and Isabelle took care of Tess once and for all since Max wouldn't be able to do it himself. So when Liz didn't come with Isabelle, Maria instantly grew worried.
"She's with Max. We don't have time for this, now let's hurry. I'll explain on the way." With that statement from Isabelle, Michael didn't hesitate. He threw the car in gear and the three of them sped off as Isabelle instructed them where Tess really was and then went into detail of what was happening in the dream that both Max and Liz were now a part of. Once Isabelle had finished, all three friends had the exact same thought on their mind. That bitch is going down.
The only problem was that Tess's physical body was in a motel room located halfway between Roswell and Albuquerque, which meant that even with Michael breaking the speed limits it was going to take them some time to reach her. "She knew we might try something like this, didn't she?" Maria asked out loud, but more to herself. "If she knew you were there to kick you out of her dream, then she knew that we would have had a plan to get to her."
"It's possible Maria, but then both Michael and Max have always been able to tell when I've made appearances in their dreams. It might just have something to do with us all being the same."
"Yeah, well I think she had some idea that we might try something like this so she made sure she was far enough out of our range to give her enough time to get what she wanted from Max before we had time to get to her." Maria surmised.

I know the angst in this story has been barely tolerable since almost the first chapter. If it's any comfort to any of you, it has been harder for me to write this then any other story I've ever attempted to write before. Only one more chapter of angst...hopefully....Then the bitch is going down.
I have to thank DeSTINyvsFate(sp?) for all the insightful ways to deal with the bitch in heat. I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on this one, because I think we all agree it's time and it must be worth the wait. Here is the next part. Let me know all the ways there are to take the bitch in heat down. I know there has to be some devious minds out there.

Part 43
Max's body went into panic mode, the sight of Liz's naked body before him had caused his penis to grow stiff and erect instantly. No amount of will power could change the fact that when it came to Liz, she effected his body and now Tess had that knowledge. When Tess had been trying to get a response out of his body using her own, it was easy to keep himself from reacting. The entire time she had been trying to manipulate his body to perform for her own sick twisted use, all Max could think in his mind was how much he hated her and it was easy to keep his body under control. But, seeing Liz's naked body was an entirely different ball game. Everytime she would just walk into the room, even before they were ever an item his body would automatically respond to her presence. Now that his body was bonded to hers, seeing her naked body, there was no hope in keeping his body from responding to hers.
"My My, Max. I have to say I'm quite impressed." Tess stated as she licked her lips in anticipation of seeing Max's very rock hard erection standing proud while he laid upon her bed. Turning her head back to Liz, she goaded. "And to think I was upset that you decided to join us at first. Now, I guess I owe you my thanks for giving me such a gift. Let's see just how much more Max will enjoy his fantasy, shall we?"
She reached over and cupped one of Liz's breast.
Liz's eyes bugged out at the realization that Tess was going to use her to get Max aroused. She looked over to where Max was still laying on the bed and there was no doubt that Tess's new plan of action was working. She tried to scream at the feel of Tess touching any intimate body parts of hers, but with her mouth still sealed shut only a garbled sound came out. A noise that sounded more like a moan than a scream and as she kept her eye on Max she saw that his body was responding even more.
"TESS, DON'T TOUCH HER!" Max screamed out, it didn't matter that Tess was a female. The thought of any individual touching his bonded mate intimately was enough to make Max's blood boil. It no longer mattered to him what Tess did or didn't do to him or his body. Liz would always be his number one priority and with her eyes alone, he could tell how uncomfortable Tess was making her. Although his body was automatically responding to seeing Liz and hearing her voice, he never hated another soul more than he did Tess at that moment.
Tess turned to Max and with narrow eyes she stated coldly. "I don't want to touch Liiizz, I want to touch you. BUT, NOOOooo! You couldn't even give me my one little request. I said I was through talking Max.
What's it going to be, you or Liz?" Her hand slipped lower down Liz's body slowly to emphasize that she was through playing games and to let Max know she meant business here.
Watching her with an evil eye of hatred he knew that he no longer had any choice in what he needed to do. If he didn't give in to Tess she would continue to touch Liz and that was just unacceptable to Max. Tess could do anything she wanted to him, hurt him, use him, abuse him, but he couldn't bare the thought of Tess hurting Liz in any way. So without further hesitation, Max whispered out in a defeated tone. "Me, Tess. This is about you and me." Tess's eyes sparkled with victory, knowing that Max would give into her and fulfill her own needs. When she reached the bed where he laid, he was sure she was going to touch him, but instead all she did was hold out her hand to his face. Unsure what she was wanting from him at first, he stared her down with nothing but venom in his eyes for what she had done to Liz.
Deciding that Max needed a little push, she ran her fingers over his lips. Waiting for Max to show her his willingness. Knowing he had to do something or Liz would be the one to pay this time around. Max placed a small kiss upon Tess's fingers. With the scent of Liz's body upon her fingers, Max didn't find kissing Tess's fingers as gross as he thought he would. Knowing he needed to give his friends as much time as possible, he figured distracting Tess by way of her hand was the lesser of the two evils. So, he kissed her fingers quickly again, then one by one he began to suck them into his mouth.
Tess's eyes closed in relief when Max's mouth began to suck on her fingers seductively. When Max sucked her fingers into his mouth she had to bite back a moan of delight. Yes, this was what she had wanted. She knew Max had a passion inside of him that would put other men to shame and she wanted to feel that passion from him. She suspected that due to his bonding with Liz, that he wouldn't be able to enjoy his time with her alone anymore. It didn't even cross her mind, that it wasn't because he didn't want her. That after all would just be too unacceptable in her mind. When she finally pulled her fingers away from Max's mouth, she slid her hand down his cheek. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it." She stated more then questioned.
"Your a sick bitch Tess." His voice full of hatred for the woman before him. "I'm warning you, don't ever touch Liz again." He knew his threat was useless and he knew she knew it, but he couldn't help but give it.
"Oh, but Liz was right about one thing. You might not respond to me because of your bonding to her, but that doesn't mean I can't use that to my advantage. Now just relax Max and enjoy yourself, I'll be right back." Tess turned back toward Liz.
Max watched in horror as she made her way back over to Liz. Struggling against an unseen force that held him to the bed, his body fighting to get free as he shouted out. "TESS, Don't!" He was beyond pissed, beyond feeling hatred toward her. He not only wanted her dead, but he wanted her to die a slow torturous death that he would pay money to see.
Tess ignored Max's threats as she stepped back over to Liz. She leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Just so you don't get the wrong idea here, I don't really swing this way, but it's a means to the end." Before Liz even knew what the bitch in heat was up to, the tape that covered her mouth was removed in an instant. Only to be replaced with Tess's mouth. Tess's tongue invaded her mouth and Liz's only thought was to bite down hard, but before she could react, Tess pulled away and the tape was back in place once again. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to make Liz feel sick to her stomach as she more then understood what Tess was up to now. She was being used as a pawn to get what she wanted from Max. Having the taste of Liz in her mouth was enough to make Tess want to puke. But, she knew Max would be stimulated by his bonded mate's taste and that he would finally give her the kind of passion she deserved from him. She strolled back to the bed that Max still laid upon. This time she didn't just stand next to the bed, she laid down basically on top of Max. "Kiss me Max." She stated in a seductive whisper as her body straddled his.
"I'd rather puke." Max was done playing nice, he was thoroughly pissed.
"Oh I doubt that, I truly believe you'll enjoy it this time." Without giving Max a second to argue back, Tess pressed her lips against his.
For the first moment, Max fought against the intrusion of Tess's lips pressed against his. But, then he tasted it, Liz's taste were smothered on Tess's lips and his desire for Liz took over his senses.
His lips reacted to the taste of Liz and just as Tess had wanted, she finally got a true taste of Max's passion.
Liz knew exactly what was happening, there was no denying what Tess was planning or how she was going to go about getting what she wanted. It made her sick to her stomach to know that Tess was winning because of her. She watched in horror as Tess's hand roamed down Max's body and took hold of his now very erect penis. She saw Tess raise her hips and knew immediately what her intent was going to be. In that instant Liz knew she couldn't allow Tess to win the way she was, with all of her might Liz willed herself awake in that instant and out of Tess's sick dream world. Sitting up in Max's room, she immediately began to shake Max awake.
Max wanted to yank his mouth away from Tess's, but the taste of Liz upon her was to great to deny. He felt Tess running her hand down his body and grab hold of his erection. He could feel himself being positioned to enter Tess's body and his mind screamed out against the invasion that was about to take place. The tip of his erection was just at the entrance that would take him to a place he never wanted to enter and he was powerless to stop it. Tearing his mouth away from Tess's, he pleaded. "Tess, don't. Stop, Tess. Please, don't."
But, his plea for her to stop fell on deaf ears as Tess responded. "Don't worry Max, I won't stop." Max looked over to the wall where Liz had been hanging to tell her he was sorry one more time, only to see Liz was no where to be found. The next instant he felt Tess lowering her body and then he found himself sitting up in his own bed, in his own room, in his own home with Liz holding his trembling body close to hers.
"Oh Max, I'm so sorry." She cried out, feeling guilty beyond belief that Tess had used her to be able to successfully seduce Max.
It took Max a minute to realize what had happened. His body shaking with fear over the fact of how close he had come to betraying Liz and here she was apologizing to him. He wasn't sure if their plan had been successful or if they had failed, but in that instant he didn't care.
All he knew for sure was he hadn't done the ultimate betrayal to Liz and with that thought alone, the tears of joy came to him. Then his own concern for Liz took over, he pulled her back to look her over. "Are you okay?"
Liz had her own tears in her eyes, attempting to give him a reassuring smile, but failing miserably. Her body racked with sobs as the reality of what had almost happened and what had happened in Tess's dream came crashing down upon her. "Oh God, Max. That was...was..Oh God."
Max's arms wrapped around her to provide whatever kind of comfort he could for her, even though his own body had yet to calm down. The two sat holding each other on Max's bed, both grateful for the comfort the other was providing for them, but both still feeling the effects of what had happened during the dream. After quite a few minutes, Max softly spoke in her ear. "We better call the others and let them know we're out of her dream. I doubt she'll stay asleep much longer." Liz could only nod her head in agreement. As much as she wanted to lose it, right now she had to remain strong for her other friends that were about to walk into a lion's pit if not warned. She had no doubt that Tess was going to wake up one pissed off bitch for not getting her way.
Max grabbed the cell phone that was on his night stand beside his bed and dialed Maria's cell phone. It had been agreed that Maria would remain in the car when the other's arrived so if they needed to communicate, it would be her that would answer the phone. After only one ring, Maria picked up the phone. "Liz?" She questioned, assuming that it would be her friend that would be the one to call her.
"It's Max, we're out. Did you get her?"
"We're at the hotel now, Max. Michael and Isabelle are making their way to the door."
"Shit. Tess, is more then likely awake. Can you warn them?" Max's concern for his loved ones more then apparent in his voice.
"Okay, got it. Let me call you right back." And before Max could say no, Maria hung up her cell phone and was already running toward Michael and Isabelle who were just getting ready to make their move.

I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on this one, because I think we all agree it's time and it must be worth the wait. Here is the next part. Let me know all the ways there are to take the bitch in heat down. I know there has to be some devious minds out there.

Part 43
Max's body went into panic mode, the sight of Liz's naked body before him had caused his penis to grow stiff and erect instantly. No amount of will power could change the fact that when it came to Liz, she effected his body and now Tess had that knowledge. When Tess had been trying to get a response out of his body using her own, it was easy to keep himself from reacting. The entire time she had been trying to manipulate his body to perform for her own sick twisted use, all Max could think in his mind was how much he hated her and it was easy to keep his body under control. But, seeing Liz's naked body was an entirely different ball game. Everytime she would just walk into the room, even before they were ever an item his body would automatically respond to her presence. Now that his body was bonded to hers, seeing her naked body, there was no hope in keeping his body from responding to hers.
"My My, Max. I have to say I'm quite impressed." Tess stated as she licked her lips in anticipation of seeing Max's very rock hard erection standing proud while he laid upon her bed. Turning her head back to Liz, she goaded. "And to think I was upset that you decided to join us at first. Now, I guess I owe you my thanks for giving me such a gift. Let's see just how much more Max will enjoy his fantasy, shall we?"
She reached over and cupped one of Liz's breast.
Liz's eyes bugged out at the realization that Tess was going to use her to get Max aroused. She looked over to where Max was still laying on the bed and there was no doubt that Tess's new plan of action was working. She tried to scream at the feel of Tess touching any intimate body parts of hers, but with her mouth still sealed shut only a garbled sound came out. A noise that sounded more like a moan than a scream and as she kept her eye on Max she saw that his body was responding even more.
"TESS, DON'T TOUCH HER!" Max screamed out, it didn't matter that Tess was a female. The thought of any individual touching his bonded mate intimately was enough to make Max's blood boil. It no longer mattered to him what Tess did or didn't do to him or his body. Liz would always be his number one priority and with her eyes alone, he could tell how uncomfortable Tess was making her. Although his body was automatically responding to seeing Liz and hearing her voice, he never hated another soul more than he did Tess at that moment.
Tess turned to Max and with narrow eyes she stated coldly. "I don't want to touch Liiizz, I want to touch you. BUT, NOOOooo! You couldn't even give me my one little request. I said I was through talking Max.
What's it going to be, you or Liz?" Her hand slipped lower down Liz's body slowly to emphasize that she was through playing games and to let Max know she meant business here.
Watching her with an evil eye of hatred he knew that he no longer had any choice in what he needed to do. If he didn't give in to Tess she would continue to touch Liz and that was just unacceptable to Max. Tess could do anything she wanted to him, hurt him, use him, abuse him, but he couldn't bare the thought of Tess hurting Liz in any way. So without further hesitation, Max whispered out in a defeated tone. "Me, Tess. This is about you and me." Tess's eyes sparkled with victory, knowing that Max would give into her and fulfill her own needs. When she reached the bed where he laid, he was sure she was going to touch him, but instead all she did was hold out her hand to his face. Unsure what she was wanting from him at first, he stared her down with nothing but venom in his eyes for what she had done to Liz.
Deciding that Max needed a little push, she ran her fingers over his lips. Waiting for Max to show her his willingness. Knowing he had to do something or Liz would be the one to pay this time around. Max placed a small kiss upon Tess's fingers. With the scent of Liz's body upon her fingers, Max didn't find kissing Tess's fingers as gross as he thought he would. Knowing he needed to give his friends as much time as possible, he figured distracting Tess by way of her hand was the lesser of the two evils. So, he kissed her fingers quickly again, then one by one he began to suck them into his mouth.
Tess's eyes closed in relief when Max's mouth began to suck on her fingers seductively. When Max sucked her fingers into his mouth she had to bite back a moan of delight. Yes, this was what she had wanted. She knew Max had a passion inside of him that would put other men to shame and she wanted to feel that passion from him. She suspected that due to his bonding with Liz, that he wouldn't be able to enjoy his time with her alone anymore. It didn't even cross her mind, that it wasn't because he didn't want her. That after all would just be too unacceptable in her mind. When she finally pulled her fingers away from Max's mouth, she slid her hand down his cheek. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it." She stated more then questioned.
"Your a sick bitch Tess." His voice full of hatred for the woman before him. "I'm warning you, don't ever touch Liz again." He knew his threat was useless and he knew she knew it, but he couldn't help but give it.
"Oh, but Liz was right about one thing. You might not respond to me because of your bonding to her, but that doesn't mean I can't use that to my advantage. Now just relax Max and enjoy yourself, I'll be right back." Tess turned back toward Liz.
Max watched in horror as she made her way back over to Liz. Struggling against an unseen force that held him to the bed, his body fighting to get free as he shouted out. "TESS, Don't!" He was beyond pissed, beyond feeling hatred toward her. He not only wanted her dead, but he wanted her to die a slow torturous death that he would pay money to see.
Tess ignored Max's threats as she stepped back over to Liz. She leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Just so you don't get the wrong idea here, I don't really swing this way, but it's a means to the end." Before Liz even knew what the bitch in heat was up to, the tape that covered her mouth was removed in an instant. Only to be replaced with Tess's mouth.

Part 44
"Michael!" Maria whispered out loudly trying quietly to get his attention as she ran in his direction.
Michael's senses were on full alert, there was no way in hell he was going to blow this. Too many people were counting on him to take care of the bitch once and for all. After all wasn't that why he was sent here, wasn't that his gift. To be the strong one, the one that stepped up to the plate when strength was needed. He heard Maria's whispering his name instantly and turned to see her running full speed in his and Isabelle's direction.
"Maria, go back to the car." He hissed out. It was one thing for him to go into battle, it was another whole ball game for Maria to walk into it with him.
"They're Out!" She yelled hoping Michael would understand what she was trying to tell him. Michael nodded, showing Maria he understood what she was telling them, then waved her back. He had no intention of letting any harm come to his Maria.
He turned to Isabelle, raised one hand with three fingers up, counting them down backwards. When he got to one, he blasted the doorway to the motel room open. There was no time to be subtle now. If Max and Liz were no longer in the dream world keeping Tess's occupied that meant Tess could be a live wire. Remembering Liz's words, Tess was crazy, not stupid. He knew it was time to start blasting. Michael went completely into warrior mode, stepping into the motel room, hand raised and ready for battle. Isabelle following directly behind him, her hand also raised. But, Isabelle also kept her mind open to feel any prickles against it. Knowing good and well how powerful Tess's mindwarps could be and knowing as physically strong as Michael was, he still didn't have total control on his mind and that could leave him vulnerable to Tess's mindwarp.
Tess was standing by the bed, quickly throwing her few essentials into a bag when the motel room door was blown open. Instantly she threw up a mindwarp to make the motel room appear empty. Michael walked into the room cautiously, looking over the room completely. The beginning thoughts of failure began to surface as the room looked empty. "Damn It, she's GONE!"
Michael yelled out in frustration, thinking he had let his friends down.
Isabelle could feel the pull on her mind, there was no doubt that both she and more then likely Michael were being mindwarped, but the pull was too strong for her to get a fix on where the pull was coming from. "She's here Michael. She's mindwarping us, blast her!" Isabelle quickly yelled out.
"Where? Where is she?" Michael shouted back, more then ready to blast the bitch back to hell, but he had no idea where she was.
"I DON'T KNOW! BLAST HER, MICHAEL! BLAST HER!" Isabelle shouted back, still unable to get a fix on Tess's location. She had no doubt that Tess was here, the pull on her mind too strong for her to be too far away. It didn't matter if her eyes couldn't see her, she was here and there was no way Isabelle was going to let that bitch in heat get away after what she had done to her brother. No, the bitch was going down and she was going down now.
Michael didn't even question Isabelle. With his hand still raised, Michael let his energy flow outward in all directions of the room. Firing both high and low, not knowing where Tess was, but unwilling to lose this battle. A scream of pain was heard before he actually saw her.
Tess was using an excessive amount of power to hold the mindwarp against Isabelle. If it had been Michael alone that entered her motel room, she would have had no trouble getting by him, but Isabelle's mind was strong.
She knew the female Antarian's had greater mental powers, where the male's were more prone to having greater physical powers. When Isabelle commanded Michael to blast, Tess knew she had to get out of there. But, Michael's blasts were coming fast and furious. She attempted to crawl in hopes of crawling past her two attackers, but Michael was good at covering his ground. She was struck in the shoulder first, then her ankle and the pain was too great for her to keep silent any longer. Letting out a scream of pain, her concentration on the mindwarp forgotten. Looking up at the two of them, she could see the hatred for her in their eyes. Knowing she had to say something and quick or she wouldn't live to see the sunrise. "Before you do to me what you want to do, just remember this. You may not like me, but I'm not your real enemy. And if you want to survive against our real enemy, you are going to need MY help."
Michael looked toward Isabelle for guidance, knowing good and well what Tess said was the truth. The four of them were sent here together for a reason. Not to mate, not because they were destined to be together, but for a greater purpose. Michael had felt that power when they had practiced together out at the ranch. The power of the four square was strong, undeniable and if he killed Tess that power also died along with her.
Isabelle's mind raced with the same thoughts. Was it possible that in killing Tess they would be killing themselves and possibly thousands more?
Isabelle knew this decision wasn't hers to make, Max was the one that needed to make the final decision. But, as she looked at Tess once again
all she could feel was hatred for the bitch. Without thinking any further, Isabelle struck out. Using her leg, she kicked up into Tess's jaw. Striking her hard and swiftly with enough force that she could hear bone cracking. "That's for Liz." Bringing the heel down with force to Tess's abdomen, she stated. "That's for Max." Then with both hands entwined into one fist, she struck Tess in the back of the head. "And that's just because." When she was finished Tess was battered, bruised and unconscious, but very much still alive. "Throw the garbage in the trunk Michael. We'll take her back to Roswell. I have no problem killing her, enemies or not, but it's up to Max to make the call." With that Isabelle turned on her heels and stormed out of the room.
As Michael picked up Tess's limp body, he muttered. "Reminder to self, Do Not piss Isabelle off." He then followed Isabelle's instructions, making sure to seal the trunk off good enough that it would take an entire fleet to open it before hopping back into the Jetta and driving the four of them back to Roswell.
"Is she dead?" Maria asked, not sure what went down in the motel room. Only knowing that she saw blood on Isabelle's hand that obviously wasn't hers and Michael throwing the limp body of Tess into the trunk.
"No." Michael answered without taking his eyes off the road. It was after one o'clock in the morning now and he couldn't get to Roswell fast enough to have Max make a decision of what they should do with Tess.
"Why? What happened? I thought the two of you were going to...Why isn't she dead?" Maria was beside herself with questions and she hated not knowing what was going on. All she knew for sure was that bitch had hurt her friends and Maria DeLuca was not going to let her get away with it.
"Maria, listen. Tess is part of the four square, if we kill her then that takes our four square power away. A power we may need someday to defeat our enemies." Isabelle tried to explain out loud, not only to Maria but to herself also. She wanted to kill Tess for what she had done to her brother, in fact she would have taken pleasure in killing her. But, the fact remained that they may need Tess someday. As much as she hated Tess and wanted to kill her, she knew the final decision had to be Max's.
"So Tess is going to get away with what she did?" Maria was beside herself with anger. Anger for what Tess had done to her friends. Anger for Michael and Isabelle not killing her already and anger for the injustice that Tess might very well get away with raping Max and hurting Liz just because they may need her in the future.
Michael and Isabelle looked at each other through the rearview mirror. Both silently agreeing on one point. No matter what Max's decision was going to be, Tess wasn't going to get away with what she had done. They may not be able to kill her, but one way or another she was going to pay.
Turning his head toward Maria, Michael answered solemnly. "No, Maria. Tess will pay for her crime. Trust me." He then turned back to the road once again and pressed his foot down on the accelerator alittle harder. Getting back to Roswell a top priority.
Back in Roswell Liz was trying to remain brave for Max. She could see he was more then concern for his sister and their friends, taking the responsibility for everyone on his shoulder's once again. But, inside the experience of the dream was still so fresh in her mind. She hadn't even realized that the tears she was trying so hard to control were now falling freely from her face. Before the first tear made it's way completely down her cheek, Max was by her side, pulling her close and giving her the comfort she needed. Although the experience in the dream had been unpleasant for him to say the least. It had to have been a nightmare ten times worst for Liz. He knew she was trying to put up a brave front for him, but she didn't need to. They had gone through that together. He still believed she was the strongest individual he had ever met in his life.
He was still holding her close when the cell phone rang. Both looked to the phone then to each other. This was it, their future would be told by this one phone call. With one final nod of encouragement from Liz, Max answered. "I understand, we'll met you there." He hung up the phone and turned back toward Liz. "We've got a decision to make."

I have no problem killing her, enemies or not, but it's up to Max to make the call." With that Isabelle turned on her heels and stormed out of the room.
As Michael picked up Tess's limp body, he muttered. "Reminder to self, Do Not piss Isabelle off." He then followed Isabelle's instructions, making sure to seal the trunk off good enough that it would take an entire fleet to open it before hopping back into the Jetta and driving the four of them back to Roswell.
"Is she dead?" Maria asked, not sure what went down in the motel room. Only knowing that she saw blood on Isabelle's hand that obviously wasn't hers and Michael throwing the limp body of Tess into the trunk.
"No." Michael answered without taking his eyes off the road. It was after one o'clock in the morning now and he couldn't get to Roswell fast enough to have Max make a decision of what they should do with Tess.
"Why? What happened? I thought the two of you were going to...Why isn't she dead?" Maria was beside herself with questions and she hated not knowing what was going on. All she knew for sure was that bitch had hurt her friends and Maria DeLuca was not going to let her get away with it.
"Maria, listen. Tess is part of the four square, if we kill her then that takes our four square power away. A power we may need someday to defeat our enemies." Isabelle tried to explain out loud, not only to Maria but to herself also. She wanted to kill Tess for what she had done to her brother, in fact she would have taken pleasure in killing her. But, the fact remained that they may need Tess someday. As much as she hated Tess and wanted to kill her, she knew the final decision had to be Max's.
"So Tess is going to get away with what she did?" Maria was beside herself with anger. Anger for what Tess had done to her friends. Anger for Michael and Isabelle not killing her already and anger for the injustice that Tess might very well get away with raping Max and hurting Liz just because they may need her in the future.
Michael and Isabelle looked at each other through the rearview mirror. Both silently agreeing on one point. No matter what Max's decision was going to be, Tess wasn't going to get away with what she had done. They may not be able to kill her, but one way or another she was going to pay.
Turning his head toward Maria, Michael answered solemnly. "No, Maria. Tess will pay for her crime. Trust me." He then turned back to the road once again and pressed his foot down on the accelerator alittle harder. Getting back to Roswell a top priority.
Back in Roswell Liz was trying to remain brave for Max. She could see he was more then concern for his sister and their friends, taking the responsibility for everyone on his shoulder's once again. But, inside the experience of the dream was still so fresh in her mind. She hadn't even realized that the tears she was trying so hard to control were now falling freely from her face. Before the first tear made it's way completely down her cheek, Max was by her side, pulling her close and giving her the comfort she needed. Although the experience in the dream had been unpleasant for him to say the least. It had to have been a nightmare ten times worst for Liz. He knew she was trying to put up a brave front for him, but she didn't need to. They had gone through that together. He still believed she was the strongest individual he had ever met in his life.
He was still holding her close when the cell phone rang. Both looked to the phone then to each other. This was it, their future would be told by this one phone call. With one final nod of encouragement from Liz, Max answered. "I understand, we'll met you there." He hung up the phone and turned back toward Liz. "We've got a decision to make."
End Pt44
It's Tuesday again so here is the next part. Now before you finish and begin to throw flames at the ending, just remember. Michael, Isabelle and Maria might not have the final say, but they do have a say! Hint, Hint!
Okay, with that said, here is the next part. Hope you enjoy it, because Tess's demise is near. Thanks for the FB. Let me know what you think.

Part 45
Prior to driving out to the pod chamber to meet the other's, Max and Liz had one stop to make first. A stop for information from one that neither of them had any trust in, but knew would be forced to answer Max's questions honestly. They pulled up to the Harding's home, both still in an emotional state from their experience in the dream. But, both determined to get some answers. Together they approached the front door holding each other's hand. The simple contact more then necessary at this point. Prior to knocking, Max looked at Liz and asked. "Are you sure?" Knowing that if the information he needed was possible, it would be Liz's life that would be changed once again.
Attempting to give him a reassuring smile, she nodded. "No, not really, but I have to do this. Let's just find out if it's possible first, then we'll go from there." Liz knew she would do whatever it would take to rid Tess from their lives forever, but Max was right. If their plan was possible, it would change her life forever. The four of them were sent here together for a reason. Not to mate with each other, but to use their abilities to strengthen each other's. Max, Isabelle, Michael and Tess were a fighting unit. Together they had enough power to eliminate any future threat from their enemies. But, if they eliminated Tess, their unit would be weakened and the three of them would be left vulnerable to attack. Liz understood why Tess was important to the group. She had a unique power and there was no doubt that she had the capability to enhance Max's powers. But, Tess had gone too far. As much as they needed her power to help fight the enemy, Tess herself had become their enemy. The other's would never be able to trust her in battle and that in itself was what had prompted Liz to make the suggestion she had.
At first, Max had been reluctant to even consider her suggestion, but he knew she was right. It was their only chance to succeed in defeating their enemy when the time came. But, first they had to seek the truth if it would even be possible. Nodding his head in return to her response, he knocked on the front door. Ed Harding answered the door promptly and Max didn't even wait for an invitation. He pushed past the shape shifter, pulling Liz inside the house with him as he went. "I have questions and you're going to give me the answers." He stated sternly right off the bat as he slammed the door shut.
Nasedo didn't respond verbally, he simply motioned the two into the living area of the house. Max knew Nasedo would have to give him the answers he needed if worded correctly, but Nasedo was still a loose cannon to the group. Neither Max, nor Liz truly trusted the shape shifter. Yes, he carried an encoding inside of him to ensure the royal fours safety which was a joke to Max. Especially considering what he had allowed Tess to get away with. He knew the encoding now also included Liz and their child, but what about Tess? That was the question that Max was uncertain of, therefore he took a moment to gather his thoughts before beginning. "I want to know about the four square power."
Nasedo was surprised by Max's statement, he had thought by the way Max had entered his home something serious had taken place. Although he showed no emotion to his young King on the outside, inside he couldn't have been more pleased to hear that Max was finally showing interest in more then just his bonded mate. "What would you like to know?"
"First off, I understand that each of us, Michael, Tess, Isabelle and myself have unique powers." Max paused for a moment allowing Nasedo to give him a slight nod to confirm what he had just stated. "I also understand that together we can combine our powers to enhance each others." Another nod came, building Max confidence. "What I need to know from you is if we have the ability to transfer those powers to each other?" Max didn't want Nasedo to know why he wanted the answer, he didn't really trust him enough yet to confide in the protector.
Nasedo cocked his head, as if trying to figure out the reason behind Max's question. "I'm not sure if that would be possible. When you were designed, you were given full usage of your brain capacity. The individual powers that are unique to each of you, were divided for a reason. The human brain has the capability to hold more power then any normal human would be able to develop for centuries, but it has a limited amount of neuron space within it. The transfer of that kind of power would need quite a bit of space to establish itself and the four of you were already programed to your brain's capacity to it's fullest."
"Then if something were to happen to one of us, we would lose the fire power of the four square. Surely there would be some kind of back up plan." Max argued, wanting Nasedo to give them the information they needed without having to give away the reason for needing it just yet.
"I can assure you, I do not have the capability to allow anything to happen to any of you." Nasedo quickly spoke up to reassure his young King he took his duty seriously. Knowing if one of his charges were in mortal danger, the encoding inside of him would know it and he would give his life to ensure their safety.
Max glanced at Liz before giving her a reassuring squeeze upon her hand he held before turning back to his so called protector. "What about Tess? Now that Liz has the encoding inside of her, you stated you could feel the transfer of your loyalties from Tess to Liz. Can you guarantee me that you could protect Tess from being killed or does your encoding include both Tess and Liz now?" This was one of the important questions Max needed answered. If they were to kill Tess, would Nasedo try to stop them due to his encoding to protect the royal four.
"You transferred the encoding to your bonded mate. I am programmed to protect the royal four that contain the encoding within them." Max kept his face neutral, not wanting Nasedo to know how happy his answer made him until Nasedo's next sentence was spoken. "However, I will continue to give Tess the protection she deserves. The essence of my Queen is still within her, bonded in this life to you or not."
"What about betrayal?" Liz spoke up quickly without thinking. The thought of Tess being Max's Queen, even in their prior life made her feel sick to her stomach. Surely even in Antar's society, betrayal wouldn't be tolerated, even by the Queen.
Nasedo stood silently, he might be programmed to protect this human and the heir she carried within her womb. But, he wasn't programmed to answer her questions. Only his King had that power over him. When Max saw Nasedo wasn't going to respond to Liz's question, he wanted to wipe the smug look off of his face. Tess might have been considered his Queen in his prior life, but in this life Liz was his bonded mate and would someday soon be his Queen. Therefore, Max wanted Nasedo to understand that like it or not, Liz was the one that was important in this life time, not Tess. "Answer her question and in the future, I demand you answer any question she ask honestly for Liz IS my bonded mate in this life and she will soon be YOUR Queen. I demand you show her the respect she is entitled to, do you understand?"
Giving Max a slight nod once again, Nasedo replied. "I understand, your majesty." He then turned to Liz. "What kind of betrayal are you referring to?"
"What if Max is betrayed by one of the four square members? How could he possible entrust his life in a battle against his enemies if he could not trust those he had to fight with against them?" Liz tried to be as direct as possible without giving Nasedo any real information. Just like Max, Nasedo had not earned her trust to confide in, so her questions were stated in a manner that didn't give away why she wanted the answer to begin with.
Pausing for a moment, Nasedo answered. "The encoding that each of the royal four contained would have not allowed a betrayal. Max choose to remove the encoding from one of the members of his four square. It was his choice to entrust the encoding to a member outside of his four square. Now he will have to trust his four square without the insurance of the encoding."
That did it, Max could no longer contain the rage that had been building inside of him. "I cannot trust Tess, tell me if I have the capability to transfer her power of the four square to someone I can trust."
"I do not have the answer you seek, only you know if your capability is strong enough to take on the transfer. I can tell you Tess's power is essential to your survival against your enemies. Either you must learn to trust her, accept her as part of your four square or you will have to risk the chance of transferring her power to your bonded mate. But, I must caution you of the risk you will be taking. Liz is human, although her brain capacity is there, her brain is still undeveloped. Attempting to transfer Tess's power from her brain to Liz's could cause irreversible damage to both women. It is your choice, your majesty."
Max pulled on Liz's hand, he was pissed, frustrated and the guilt he felt inside was eating away at him. The two of them left the Harding house without so much as a good bye to Nasedo. He gently helped Liz into his jeep, before hopping in the other side and slamming the door closed. "DAMN IT!" He shouted out in frustration as he hit the steering wheel of his vehicle. He thought for sure this was their way out. He wanted Tess dead, but could he be selfish enough to kill her and leave all his loved ones vulnerable to attack by an enemy he knew he wasn't prepared to face without her. But, what guarantee did he have to contain Tess and trust that she would be there to help them if he did let her live. He knew what Tess wanted, but even if he gave in to her demands, would that be enough. Knowing Tess, even if he willing fucked her she would want more. His blood was boiling with anger, he wanted out of this nightmare, but there didn't seem to be an easy way out.
His rage was easy to see and Liz wanted to help, but she knew there wasn't anything she could say that would take away what he was feeling.
She trusted Max and his ability to make the transfer safely, but she knew he wouldn't take the risk. Not when it came to her safety and the safety of their child she was carrying. She had seen and had felt what he had gone through in the dream with Tess. Knowing it would kill him far worst than it would her, for him to comply with Tess's demand. She was at a lost as to what to say that could help him fight the real life demon he had to face. All she knew for sure was no matter which way he decided to go, she would stand beside him.
They drove in silence out to the pod chamber, neither knowing what they could say to eliminate the nightmare they were living. When they arrived Max turned off the engine, but sat in silence. Liz sat next to him, wanting to offer her support, knowing in the end, it was his decision that would be the final say. Finally Max turned to face her.
"You know I can't take that risk." Was the first words out of his mouth.
"I know." Was her whispered reply.
Reaching over he cupped her cheek softly. "I can't betray you either."
"I know." She replied once again and she did. She of all people understood what Max was saying.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "Liz, we can't kill her. We can't transfer her powers to you, I can't betray you and I can't allow her to hurt anyone we care about. I'm trying very hard to figure a way out of this mess, but I can't come up with anything. Help me, please. I need you to help me."
"Max, I don't have all the answers, but I do know I love you and I'll love you no matter what you decide to do. I can give you that promise.
You own my heart and my soul, you always have and you always will." She leaned over and placed a soft kiss full of love upon his lips to show him she meant what she said. Pulling away, she stated. "Now, we know we can't kill her, but I think I at least deserve the right to kick her ass for touching you and me. It might not be the solution we need, but I seriously need to at least give her a small amount of pay back. What do you say we go kick some alien bitch in heat ass?"
Max knew what she was trying to do and for the most part it worked. He gave her a small smile, then stated. "Whatever my Queen wants, my Queen gets." Together the emerged for the jeep only to link hands in unity once again. Their problem with Tess wasn't over yet, but at least together they would get some satisfaction out of knocking her a peg or two down from the pedestal she had placed herself upon.

First off I have to apologize for missing last Tuesday's update, but I have a very valid reason. My own soulmate literally swept me off my feet and took me away for a surprise mini vacation for just the two of us. God, I love him!!!! Just him, me and NO kids - It Was Great!
Anyway back to the story. The Tess beatings have begun, but we are no where even close to her getting what's coming yet. Just hang tight and enjoy the ride. In this story I've made Liz the one to always come up with the solutions and when Max needs her the most she will once again prove her worth. So don't worry, hang tight and enjoy. Here's the new part, hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Part 46
Max opened the pod chamber door, taking Liz's hand once again, the two
of them stepped inside and neither expected to see the sight before
them. Tess was held securely against the far wall, her head laying
limp against her chest. Her face looked battered and bruised already.
"I guess someone already beat me to the punch." Liz voiced bringing
their three friends attention to their entrance.
"LIZ!" Maria shouted as she ran over to give her friend a warm embrace.
"Are you okay?" Her concern for her best friend more then evident in
her voice. Isabelle had already filled Maria in on the small amount of
Tess's dream that she had witnessed, but knowing Tess. Maria knew her
friend had suffered a great deal more then what Isabelle had seen.
"I'm okay Maria, what about you?" Liz returned the same concern for
Maria that Maria had shown her.
"I'm good. I would have liked to have gotten a few good hits on the
bitch in heat before Isabelle did her own smack down, but I'm good."
She stated in a joking voice as she winked at the tall blond alien.
"You did this?" Max asked not really surprised that his sister had
beaten the crap out of Tess, but surprised none the less.
"Hey, you mess with my family, you mess with me." Was Isabelle's reply
as she shrugged her shoulders. Max stepped over and gave his sister a
quick hug, letting her know that she meant the world to him too.
Michael had stayed quiet while the others had their quick reunion, but
never one for patience he stepped up to get the word from Max to finish
off their problem once and for all. Raising his hand in the direction
of Tess, he asked. "Is it a go?" He was sure Max was going to give
the okay to allow Tess to die, but formalities had to be followed. Max
was his King, it was Max's decision, so he waited for the okay.
Sadly shaking his head, Max reluctantly denied Michael's request to
eliminate his problem. "We can't kill her Michael." The regret was
evident in his voice. Everyone in the room could tell just how badly
Max hated giving Tess the reprieve she didn't deserve.
"WHAT?" Isabelle and Maria shouted out in disgust as Michael lowered
his hand.
Max lowered his head before turning his head to face Liz. Liz reached
out and took his hand to give him her support as Max began his
explanation to why they couldn't kill Tess. "Tess is part of our four
square. Her power is unique and without her capability the chance of
us succeeding an attack against our enemies isn't good."
"Maxwell, you can't seriously think you can trust this bitch to help us
fight against our enemies. She Is Our Enemy!" Michael bit out harshly.
"I agree, we can't trust her." Max then went on to explain how the
encoding inside them would ensure their loyalties to him, but since Liz
now had Tess's encoding instead of Tess. Tess was a wild card with
nothing holding her loyal to their four square. Seeing the light bulbs
going off in both Michael and Isabelle's eyes, he quickly explained the
danger to attempting a transfer of Tess's power to Liz and to his
surprise neither of them argued the risk. Even though Liz wanted to
deny the danger, having complete faith in Max's ability to do the
transfer, but knowing Max wouldn't take the chance with her life or with
the life of their unborn child. It didn't take long for their friends
to see what kind of obstacles laid ahead for them.
"Not to sound like everyone else, but what do we do now then Max? I
mean you guys obvious can't be without Tess's power if your enemies
come a calling, but you can't trust her to be there for you even if you
allow her to live." Maria wanted a easy solution, but it took a few
extra minutes for her mind to realize there wasn't an easy solution to
any of this.
"The answers easy, Max complies with my demands and everyone lives in
peace." All eyes turned to the blond bitch who had awaken during Max's
explanation that was still pinned to the wall.
"Shut the Fuck Up, you BITCH!" Liz smacked Tess across her face as
hard as she could. There was no way she was going to allow that bitch
in heat to even speak Max's name, let alone allow her to touch him
every again. The four other people stood in shocked silence at Liz's
outburst. Not one of them had ever heard Liz lose her cool before, let
alone known her to have a violent bone in her body. To not only hear
her speak to Tess the way she had, but to witness her slapping Tess so
hard that her neck snapped back and her head had hit the wall of the
cave just shocked all of them. Turning back to her friends, Liz
shrugged her shoulders. "Damn that felt good."
Maria and Michael both had smiled proudly at their friend, while Max
slipped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her tenderly upon the
top of her head. But, it was Isabelle who agreed verbally. "I know
what you mean." Was all that she said, but the two women that meant
more to Max then any other in the universe understood each other and
the satisfaction it gave them to give one back to Tess for what she had
done to their Max was something that they both needed.
But Tess wasn't intelligent enough to keep her mouth shut, simply
retorted in a evil glant. "What's the matter Parker? Afraid once Max
has the real thing, you won't be able to satisfy him any longer."
"Oh that's it!" It was Maria this time to throw a punch that landed in
Tess's stomach, causing the blond to gasp for a breath as the air was
knocked out of her lungs. Giving her best friend a wink, she smiled in
victory as she stated. "You guys were sooooo right. That felt Great!"
Looking over at Max, she added. "No body messes with my girlfriend
status friend."
Michael grabbed a hold of his fiesty girlfriend before stating. "Okay
ladies, as much fun as I think your having. We have more pressing
issues to discuss here." Ignoring Tess completely, he turned back to
Max. "Maxwell, it's your..."
Max didn't allow Michael to finish his statement. He couldn't stand in
the same space that Tess occupied any longer. Raising his hand to stop
Michael mid sentence, he motioned for them to follow him outside the
pod chamber. His friends, sister and soul mate followed him willing.
Once outside, he took a deep breath of air before he spoke once again.
"I think we all have a word in what we should do with her." Unable to
even speak Tess's name, he continued. "This isn't about what happened
to me. This is about the safety of our future and that effects all of
us. I know emotions are running high right now, so I need each of you
to take time and think over your decision." Each member of the tight
knit group looked at each other for a minute.
Isabelle was the first to move, she kicked at a small rock making it
fly over the edge, then used her powers to blow it into dust. She hated
the thought of Tess getting away with what she had done to her brother,
but as much as she wanted Tess to suffer a slow painful death. Max was
right, her emotions were too high to make a rational decision. "I'm
going for a walk, I'll be back." She stated, Max simply nodded his
head in agreement.
Michael grabbed Maria's hand in his, simple saying. "We'll be back."
Once again receiving a nod from Max.
Max and Liz watched their friends walking down the embankment of the
large rock. Once they were far enough away, Max turned to Liz. "I
value your opinion more then anyone's. You mean so much more to me
then just being my lover. Your my strength, my concisous and your
heart is so pure. As hard as it may be, I need your mind to be thinking
logically and not emotionally. Things have happened to both of us that
will make that hard to do, but I need you now Liz more then I've ever
needed you and I need your help in making this decision. Can you do
that Liz? Can you help me do that?"
Liz wrapped her arms around his waist, understanding exactly what Max
was asking of her. There was no doubt in her mind what she knew the
solution to their problem was, now the only thing left was to convince
Max that he was the one that had the capability to save all of them.

Here's the new part, hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Part 46
Max opened the pod chamber door, taking Liz's hand once again, the two
of them stepped inside and neither expected to see the sight before
them. Tess was held securely against the far wall, her head laying
limp against her chest. Her face looked battered and bruised already.
"I guess someone already beat me to the punch." Liz voiced bringing
their three friends attention to their entrance.
"LIZ!" Maria shouted as she ran over to give her friend a warm embrace.
"Are you okay?" Her concern for her best friend more then evident in
her voice. Isabelle had already filled Maria in on the small amount of
Tess's dream that she had witnessed, but knowing Tess. Maria knew her
friend had suffered a great deal more then what Isabelle had seen.
"I'm okay Maria, what about you?" Liz returned the same concern for
Maria that Maria had shown her.
"I'm good. I would have liked to have gotten a few good hits on the
bitch in heat before Isabelle did her own smack down, but I'm good."
She stated in a joking voice as she winked at the tall blond alien.
"You did this?" Max asked not really surprised that his sister had
beaten the crap out of Tess, but surprised none the less.
"Hey, you mess with my family, you mess with me." Was Isabelle's reply
as she shrugged her shoulders. Max stepped over and gave his sister a
quick hug, letting her know that she meant the world to him too.
Michael had stayed quiet while the others had their quick reunion, but
never one for patience he stepped up to get the word from Max to finish
off their problem once and for all. Raising his hand in the direction
of Tess, he asked. "Is it a go?" He was sure Max was going to give
the okay to allow Tess to die, but formalities had to be followed. Max
was his King, it was Max's decision, so he waited for the okay.
Sadly shaking his head, Max reluctantly denied Michael's request to
eliminate his problem. "We can't kill her Michael." The regret was
evident in his voice. Everyone in the room could tell just how badly
Max hated giving Tess the reprieve she didn't deserve.
"WHAT?" Isabelle and Maria shouted out in disgust as Michael lowered
his hand.
Max lowered his head before turning his head to face Liz. Liz reached
out and took his hand to give him her support as Max began his
explanation to why they couldn't kill Tess. "Tess is part of our four
square. Her power is unique and without her capability the chance of
us succeeding an attack against our enemies isn't good."
"Maxwell, you can't seriously think you can trust this bitch to help us
fight against our enemies. She Is Our Enemy!" Michael bit out harshly.
"I agree, we can't trust her." Max then went on to explain how the
encoding inside them would ensure their loyalties to him, but since Liz
now had Tess's encoding instead of Tess. Tess was a wild card with
nothing holding her loyal to their four square. Seeing the light bulbs
going off in both Michael and Isabelle's eyes, he quickly explained the
danger to attempting a transfer of Tess's power to Liz and to his
surprise neither of them argued the risk. Even though Liz wanted to
deny the danger, having complete faith in Max's ability to do the
transfer, but knowing Max wouldn't take the chance with her life or with
the life of their unborn child. It didn't take long for their friends
to see what kind of obstacles laid ahead for them.
"Not to sound like everyone else, but what do we do now then Max? I
mean you guys obvious can't be without Tess's power if your enemies
come a calling, but you can't trust her to be there for you even if you
allow her to live." Maria wanted a easy solution, but it took a few
extra minutes for her mind to realize there wasn't an easy solution to
any of this.
"The answers easy, Max complies with my demands and everyone lives in
peace." All eyes turned to the blond bitch who had awaken during Max's
