Hi!
Happy Fourth of July to all of you in the USA. Belated Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends and if there’s other holidays in other countries I’ve failed to mention, Have a happy there too, okay. Oh it’s getting closer to the Olympics. I can’t wait. To my Aussie friends I say, “Go Thorpie!” I should be careful, I might get kicked out for cheering for the Australian team, oh well I gotta be me. LOL!!!
Everyone I just wanted to say a “big thank you “to all of you that have been reading my story. I’m very moved by the response thank you so much. Cyber hugs to all of you that tune into read each week. Welcome to all new readers, come in and make yourselves at home and hang with the rest of us, we’re a good group. I encourage all of you to leave me feedback. I always read my feed back and respond the following week. Hearing from you in the form of feed back is what fuels me to keep at it. I love to read feed back so please, feel free to leave some. It’s very much appreciated by me… Thanks again… Oh and I’m still trying to come up with a title for the sequel I was thinking of writing to this story. If you can think of any please pm me or email me your suggestions. I look forward to reading any and all of them. Thanks~
LoveIsForever- Hey girl, I just have to say your feed back always makes me smile. Yeah Kyle was pretty funny so excited and determined to talk to the doctors that he’s skipping along side Rasmus. Gees Kyle, excited much? Yes, Rasmus did have nice talk with Kyle about being loved and accepted for who he is. I think that might have been a huge moment for Rasmus showing almost a fatherly concern toward Kyle. Kyle’s going to find himself in quite funny and a challenge as things unfold? Kyle being the smart ass in the group can’t resist getting into trouble. More fun to happen in the next part to be sure. Michael of course has a hard time holding himself back from being, well Michael. He is trying though. Max and Liz showing up on time did throw him though. LOL!!! Kyle and Mystic are very cute too. I have such fun each week waiting to read which parts or words are quoted each new post. Thanks for leaving the feed back; I’m grateful for all of it. Thanks.
Biged- Hi! Yep! They gave Kyle some medication and his mind did the rest. He’s such a funny guy. I’m glad it made you laugh. Kyle seems to have a knack for keeping us all laughing especially he and the other guys. Thanks for reading and as always for the great feed back. I hope you’ll enjoy this part and do lots of LOL too!! Take care and thanks again.
roswellian504- Hi! Uhh, to answer your question about when will Kyle and Mystic be included in the teleconferencing now that the finish off the Destined Ones? Good question BTW. We’ll cover that in this weeks post. So, you’ll have to read it to find out. He he he. Hmmm. More alien pregnancies…I haven’t really thought about it. I’m sure at some point there could be more little ones. I’m not ruling it out. I just wanted the others to get a strong foundation before that happens. Max and Liz are so much apart of each other and so in sync with each other they are a cut above and further down the relationship path than the others. Leave it to Max and Liz to be the trailblazers of their happy group. Thanks for reading and I love your feed back so keep it coming and thanks also for your questions. I think you’ll enjoy this weeks post. I’m really looking forward to reading your feed back on it. Thanks again, and take care.
roswellluver- Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed the scene with Kyle and Mystic. There will be more in this weeks post as well. I hope you’ll like it too. Thanks for reading and leaving feed back. I’m looking forward to see what you thought about it in your feed back for this week. Thanks again, and have a great weekend.
Aussie_Dreamer- G’day mate! Kyle is sooo much fun isn’t he. Yes, he’ll be in for a shock, but that’s all I’m going to say. The questions about the teleconferencing will be addressed in this weeks post. Again, I can’t comment on it until you read it first. Hey girl, when are you going to post your story. I do want to read it but like Maria I need details… Which board will you post it on, Title, etc… I do want to read it and of course I’ll leave you feed back. A warning though, I’m famous in around here for long wonderful feed back. Yep! Sadly it’s my one claim to fame, that and being a devoted Jason worshiper. What can I say I’m very dedicated to what and whom I love. LOL!!! Babies are soo cute at that age. It sounds like you had a nice visit with your Dad and family. Good on you! Okay girlfriend, I want story info…I want to read it, okay? So let me know the details and I’ll take care of the reading and feed back from there. I hope you’ll enjoy reading this weeks post of my story. I do strongly recommend using restroom prior to reading it though. Yep! It’s a funny one. Is that a new one for me? LOL!! Take care and have a wonderful week. Keep in touch, okay. I will look forward to reading your feed back. Cheers Nicki!
Frenchkiss70- Hi! Thanks! Yes, our Kyle and Mystic have now bonded. Kyle and Mystic are very cute together and very open about their sensitivities. It’s good they talk about it and share that with each other though. Look out when Liz is in a teasing mood for payback. I think you’ll love Kyle’s reaction to the placebo effect. I can’t say anymore about that until you’ve read this weeks post. It’s covered in there. Hey, isn’t it always interesting how this group interacts and the situations they find themselves in as individuals, a group, and as couples. I look forward to reading your feed back from this weeks post. I hope you’ll like it. Take care and have a great week! Thanks again, for reading and leaving great feed back as usual.
Cherie- Hi ! Welcome back, I did miss your feed back. No problem sometimes RL causes you to fall behind on your reading. Lord, knows I’m behind on the ones I read. Plus I downloaded Carnival of Souls to my Max’s hard drive to read later. Which I haven’t done yet, I’m still kicking my self for that. I’ll get to it I promise. I understand what you mean. I’m glad you’re all caught up and have been enjoying what I’ve been writing so far. Kyle is a riot. I think everyone loved him talking to his member. You’ll find out his reaction about being informed of the placebo in this part. It’s going to be a riot as well. Yes, it’s cute Kyle and Mystic have bonded. I do think I’ll borrow your idea of colored post it notes for next weeks post if that’s okay…Mystic has no complaints about Kyle or buddies attributes LOL!!! Rasmus is slowly but surely doing a turnabout face on his thoughts and feelings towards humans. I hope you’ll love this new post too, there’s definitely some moments of ROFLMAO and possible pee your pants type moments ahead so just a fair warning there. I look forward to reading more of your great and funny feed back. Oh any more word on “The Grudge” Premiere and our JB’s attendance and location… We gotta put a low jak on him… LOL!! Is that wrong? Am I bad? Hey, you know those were rhetorical questions right. LOL!!!! Take care Cherie, and have a happy fourth of July…
Ansleyrocks- Hi Ansley! Thanks about the update; I’m glad you enjoyed it. A playful Michael and Maria always makes for good fun, doesn’t it. LOL!!! I hope you’ll like this new part as well. Lots of funny stuff to take in. Thanks for reading and your great feed back. I always look for your feed back
AJK001- Hi! Aww shucks. Thank you for your kind words. I have to say that writing Kyle has been an unexpected joy. He’s fun to write for he’s such a funny guy. I’m very humbled by your comments. You like the way I’ve written him, Thank you. I’ll try to do my best with Kyle as the others as well. So far this has just been a blast writing all these characters. I don’t really think of them anymore as characters they feel more like really good friends that I hang out with a lot. I love them all. Okay, I admit to loving Max a little more than the others. LOL!!! I am after all, a devoted Jason worshiper so of course I love Max. I can’t help it.
Smac- Hi! Kyle’s such a handful isn’t he? Mystic’s certainly got a heck of a guy on her hands. It won’t ever be boring with Kyle around that’s for sure. Rasmus was funny trying to grasp what Kyle was so concerned about. He did guess quite rightly it had to do with Max and Liz, well being, Max and Liz. Kyle is funny with his ramblings running through his head about being alien enhanced and what that could mean. He’s a guy, he can’t help it. Our Kyle is all guy in that respect. LOL!!! Men, god do I love them. They are so cute and funny. I hope you’ll enjoy this new part. I guarantee that there is more of my quirky humor in there. Word of warning, go to the bathroom first before reading it. Okay? You get my humor, really, that’s awesome. OH God! You’ve read other feed back I’ve left at other author’s story on the board. OH boy, I can just imagine what you’ve read. Would now be a good time for me to run and hide? Nah! Probably too late for that now, huh? Crap! You’ve found me out now. So your sense of humor you think is like mine. Oh boy, God help us if we ever get together in person…LOL!!! I love reading your awesome and funny feed back and I look forward to reading it and seeing what you thought about it. I hope I won’t disappoint this time either. Take care and have a great Fourth of July!
Part 38
Last time we left off with this….
Max gets a phone call from Cal telling him that Kyle did see the doctors and asked for… enhancements; but instead, he received a placebo. Max shares this funny news via a telepathic conversation with Liz. Even though they know of Kyle’s placebo encounter, Max and Liz make good on the promise of letting Kyle believe he was an alien enhanced stud muffin, at least for a while. The gang also spent the better part of the day practicing their powers and working with separate colonist groups to prepare for Smitak’s arrival. The Destined Ones are now at Max and Liz’s cabin ready to unwind and enjoy a catered dinner.
“Wow! This was really great of Rasmus to do all this for us,” says Michael.
“Did he say why he arranged this?” asks Max. The last of their surprise catered meal is brought in via one of the Colonists, who hands Kyle a note.
“He left me a note. I wonder what this is about,” asks a puzzled Kyle. He opens the note and reads it with Mystic’s arm draped happily around him.
“Kyle, what did my father have to say?” asks Mystic.
“He says he wanted us to have a mini bonding celebration with our friends and family. I think this is his way of welcoming me and accepting us as a couple. Wow, this was a huge gesture on his part,” says Kyle touched by Rasmus words and the meaning behind them. Mystic becomes teary eyed.
“Cool, let’s eat,” says Michael.
“I second that,” exclaims Alex enthusiastically. Both Michael and Alex’s sensibilities take a back seat to their every ready appetite. Max shakes his head, he knows better.
“Michael!” shouts Maria in exasperation at his lack of appreciation for the moment or the significance of this note. The note symbolizes Rasmus hard won acceptance of not only Mystic and Kyle, but of the Destined Ones as well.
“Ouch! Blondie what did you do that for?” says Michael with a furrowed brow bewildered by Maria’s punch in the arm he earned.
“Gees Michael, I love you but you can be such an insensitive ass sometimes,” says Maria with her arms folded across her chest and tapping her foot impatiently waiting for Michael to apologize.
“So this is about the note then?” asks an uncertain Michael quickly trying to piece together Maria’s reasoning for giving him the punch in the arm. “Oh I’m sorry Mystic and Kyle. I didn’t mean to sound uncaring. It’s just we really trained hard today and worked with the colonists and all. I was too focused on being hungry to think before I spoke,” says Michael. “I just want to know, if I’m getting yelled at why isn’t Alex? He’s just as bad as I am,” says Michael with mischievous twinkle in his eye. He wants to make sure if he gets yelled at, so does his partner in crime, Alex.
“Uh… Alex, Michael don’t look now but Isabel and Maria are both looking pissed at the two of you; and they do have their own fire power, if you know what I mean,” says Kyle. Alex and Michael exchange a scared run for your lives look and nod in telepathic agreement. They turn and run. Michael opens his connection to Alex, ‘they really look pissed. Oh no, here they come. Better run while we can,’ determines Alex.
‘I agree, Nerd Boy. Let’s go with that plan, RUN!’ says Michael.
‘It’s not much of a plan, but it works for me. What can I say?’ says Alex. Alex cuts to the left of the dinner table and Michael cuts to the right as they both run to the back of the cabin and out onto the deck. Isabel and Maria are in hot pursuit each with a hand raised outward as if to fire a playful warning blast at them. The guys decide to double back to the front of the house hoping to throw off the girls. They enter the cabin and look both ways before making a run for the dinner table in hopes of sneaking some food before getting caught. A puddle of water appears in front of them as they run inside the cabin and into the kitchen. They fail to see the water because both are looking over their shoulders making sure the girls aren’t right behind them. Alex slips first and falls with Michael then falling on top of him. Both slide into the table. Alex reaches for something blindly to help slow their sliding. He grabs the table cloth and down comes the lemon meringue pie on top of Michael, covering his face. Everyone laughs hysterically at this comical display. Both guys stand and Michael is the only one not laughing. Michael reaches for the last pie and buries it into Alex’s faces. Alex extends a finger and samples Michael’s pie adorned face. Michael does the same to Alex.
“Michael, that’s lemon meringue. My favorite,” says a laughing Alex.
“Yours is coconut,” beams Michael. Isabel and Maria both witness Alex’s famous clumsiness and decide that is enough punishment. They got their just deserts.
“Enjoy your deserts…That’s the only pie you’re getting tonight,” laughs a shameless Isabel and Maria. Michael and Alex exchange a look. They both blush and are horrified at the prospect.
“Oh God, I so didn’t need to hear that. Liz, make them stop. I don’t need visuals,” exclaims Max. Kyle is laughing hysterically at this whole scenario.
"Hey, I slipped on a puddle of water. Where did the water come from?” asks Alex.
Everyone looks towards Mystic who holds up her hands and denies making the puddle. Meanwhile, Kyle still can’t stop laughing. In between laughter he admits that “Hey…You said…I should…practice.”
“That was you? Dude, I’m so impressed. We’ll get you back for this, but we are so impressed. You’re a traitor to your own kind,” says Michael with a smirk.
“What do you mean my own kind? I’m not a hybrid like you, Michael. You know that,” says Kyle.
“He meant all male kind,” says Alex glaring at Kyle and his mild betrayal as he wipes away the remainder of pie from his face. “Hey, can somebody get me a fork?” asks Alex. “In situations like these you gotta be willing to adapt… So where’s the forks?” asks Alex with a big cheesy smile.
“It’s a good thing we already put the strawberry glaze pie and the French silk pie in the refrigerator,” says Liz giving Max a longing look.
“Liz, you never said there was a strawberry glaze pie in the refrigerator,” says Max. He has obvious interest and plans brewing behind amber eyes sparkling with anticipation of his now forming plans. Liz shoots Max a feral grin.
“Uh… guys hands off the strawberry pie and the can of whipping cream. That is ours for later. I’m prepared to blast anyone who even thinks of making a move on our pie; got it Kyle, Alex, and Michael,” glares Liz meaning every word.
“Yikes, Max she’s scary when she wants to be,” teases Kyle.
“Hey, never mess with my Liz, especially now that she’s pregnant and wants that desert. I’ll blast you too if you mess with our pie plans,” warns Max with a steely glare.
“Okay our fearless leaders here have issued their blasting warnings for everyone to keep their mitts off of their pie,” says Kyle smarting off at them and not knowing when to shut up.
“Kyle, you are not making fun of a pregnant woman now are you? This is Liz and Max’s cabin they can do whatever they want. They called dibs on the strawberry pie. Leave it alone Kyle. You know there are two other bedrooms in our cabin. Keep it up and you’ll sleeping in one of those guest rooms or the couch,” warns Mystic.
“Oh crap…Yeah, get comfortable Kyle. I think I know why Cal made sure there were 2 guest rooms in each cabin. It wasn’t for guests. It’s for us when we mess up with our women. We should learn and be smart and learn from Max here, but Nooooo… We can’t seem to stop ourselves. We are so screwed, or should I say not,” teases Michael.
“Don’t ya just love seeing them have a light bulb moment,” teases Isabel. This earns her laughter and high fives from Liz, Maria, and Mystic. Max just looks at this and laughs at the guys refusing to make any commentary, but opts just to laugh instead.
“That’s my Max, you can tell he’s the smart one in the group of our men,” laughs Liz.
“Yeah, Yeah rub it in Liz. Sure you get the polite, sensitive, decent, and ever ready man in the group,” says Maria.
“Hey! I don’t recall any complaints coming from you especially since that book,” says Michael.
“Okay, you’re right Spaceboy, your point is taken. Oh boy! Is it ever,” grins Maria staring dreamily at Michael.
“Hello, new and improved Kyle here,” says Kyle wanting to weigh in on this discussion and strut his stuff so to speak and assert some sort of bragging rites. Liz and Max exchange a look, and laugh uncontrollably at Kyle’s comment. “Hey now, that’s no way to treat a member of this so called family,” states Kyle not understanding Max and Liz’s apparent inside joke that seems to be at Kyle’s expense in some way. “What? What’s so funny?” asks a now curious Kyle.
“Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, you poor clueless male,” says a laughing Liz with Max joining in on the laughter.
“Kyle, I need to talk to you privately,” says Max.
“No way, whatever you have to say, you can say it infront of the whole gang. I have nothing to hide,” says Kyle proudly. Liz and Max once again erupt into a fit of laughter. Then they work valiantly to calm themselves to address Kyle and the group.
“Okay, Kyle. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Kyle, you were not enhanced by the doctors. You are the same as you were yesterday and the day before that. Except of course for the private bonding and the acquiring of some alien like powers, you’re still the same old Kyle. Same equipment as before, no alien upgrades installed.
“What?” sputters Kyle in utter disbelief. “But…I was so in the zone. Come on Max, this is just your ego talking here,” deflects Kyle.
“It’s true. Kyle definitely delivered on game day. He even went into overtime.” says Mystic beaming dreamily at Kyle.
“Mystic!” exclaims a shocked and blushing Kyle at her disclosure to the group. The group points and laughs hard at Kyle’s embarrassment and disappointment at not being enhanced. Liz explains further.
“Kyle, what Max is trying to tell you, oh so delicately. You were never altered in any way by the doctors. Sorry Kyle, it was a placebo effect. That sedative was the only thing they gave you. You’re mind just assumed the rest. This is a clear case of what the power of suggestion can do. Sorry, there’s only one out of this world alien stud muffin and he’s all mine and I’m married to him,” says Liz grinning at Max. “But hey, if all is good in that department for you and Mystic then good on you two,” smiles Liz encouragingly at Kyle and Mystic. Max and Liz’s comments are now being fully understood by Kyle.
“Wait a minute! You mean they didn’t do anything to me…the doctors I mean.” Then Kyle thinks to himself, ‘Phew! Buddy, you and I had a moment of absolute fear with those doctors, and all for nothing,’ says Kyle mentally. He still hasn’t realized as yet that he is now hardwired mentally to the group since he bonded with Mystic. He and Mystic now can share in the ‘Destined Ones’ telepathic teleconferencing, just like the others can do.
“Kyle, you named your…favorite appendage,” laughs Maria. “Well that explains a lot about men now doesn’t it. It’s all becoming clear to me. It’s their second brain. That accounts why some men are just, well smarter and more capable than others,” says Maria with glint in her eye as she looks at Michael.
“So, does Buddy talk back to you Kyle?” asks Isabel. “What? Hey I’m a girl I have to ask these things, right? Inquiring female minds in this room want to know,” says Isabel quieting her laughter to speak.
“I refuse to open a telepathic link to Buddy. That is one blocked call if you know what I mean,” exclaims Liz. “Kyle, you can tell Buddy for me, no teleconferencing will be allowed,” adds Liz implicitly. Max, Michael and Alex are all laughing so hard tears flow down their three faces. They roll on the floor in fits of unrestrained laughter.
“You call it buddy? Buddy! Kyle you are way too funny my friend,” says Alex.
“Well, Max did try to give you a chance to discuss this privately, but you said no. Maybe next time you’ll take him up on the private talk,” says Michael. “Maria, as for you Woman you had better explain yourself,” says Michael reflecting on his own words regarding private talks. Michael realizes Maria has absolutely no problem with embarrassing the hell out of him infront of everyone. “Maria I need to talk to you, Now… In the other room,” says Michael.
“Well I guess it’s safe to say Maria and Michael aren’t talking to Buddy either,” says Alex unable to restrain his mouth from his thoughts.
“Kyle do you remember that old commercial for that one toy. It was a doll for boys. It was called ‘My Buddy,’” laughs Max. “I don’t suppose that was the inspiration behind the name was it?” teases Max. Kyle hides his face in his hands still blushing bright red hoping against hope this will all go away and just be a bad dream. Kyle removes his hands from his eyes.
“Oh God, no such luck, it’s not a bad dream. This is all real. Help, somebody rescue me from this please,” says Kyle with puppy dog eyes.
“Okay, you’re right Kyle. Enough is enough at your expense…for tonight anyways. Everybody, just back off; he’s had enough teasing now leave him alone,” says Isabel sympathetic to Kyle.
“Let me show you and Mystic how to block broadcasting telepathic messages that you don’t want the rest of us to hear. You can maintain privacy when you need to, and resume the connection to the rest of us when it is appropriate, okay guys. Once you learn how to do that you’ll be able to avoid something like this discussion from happening,” says Isabel being a thoughtful and merciful friend to Kyle and Mystic. Isabel, Kyle, and Mystic join hands as she links to them and explains the intricacies of teleconferencing and how to block certain thoughts. Michael and Maria return from the other room holding hands and looking very content with each other.
“Uh, guys. Can we finally get something to eat?” states a hungry Alex.
“I agree, let’s eat. That’s if you guys are quite done,” says Isabel wanting everyone to leave Kyle and Mystic alone. Everyone agrees and they all sit down to enjoy a family dinner just as if nothing had happened. During dinner the conversation turns to more serious matters. They review what Alex and Isabel found out about the message and what it means. They also discuss in further detail, Liz’s recent dream walk visit by Arianna.
“Smitak’s communication with our home planet Antar was a surprising development. From what we were able to learn, Smitak’s ship is orbiting Earth and bidding his time to stage his attack. What I don’t understand is why he hasn’t made his move yet. Unless he’s waiting for his reinforcements,” speculates Michael.
“Well, I don’t think his reinforcements will be arriving. You heard the transmission we were able to clean up enough to listen too. There’s much unrest on Antar. Smitak’s forces have their hands full worrying about the coup and our people staging protests and mounting an uprising against Smitak’s control. It seems as though he has underestimated Arianna by dismissing her as only a figurehead in power. When she informed our people of our existence and our participation in the
prophecy, she created an infusion of hope and strength not just on Antar but on all of the planets in our constellation that fell victim to Smitak’s control. It appears the dictator is about to be dethroned from power and that’s why he’s here…he’s got to stop us, or at least try,” smirks Max. “All of the planets are tired of Smitak’s tyranny and have now found their courage to fight back. Our people are now forming an alliance with the other planets and taking back what was once rightfully theirs. Smitak needs Earths resources in order to maintain his tyrannical rule. But we stand in his way. He will be without his reinforcements; the people are staging their uprisings as we speak. It appears Smitak is really having a crimp in his plans, a really bad hair day as it were. Smitak’s greed for domination and absolute power will wind up being the instrument of his own destruction, which works for us. Thanks to Liz’s dream walk from Arianna we know details of what’s happening and how to plan for Smitak. We have a plan that will work. He’s out there still trying to figure out a course of action that is doomed to fail, especially now. He doesn’t know what we know. This all plays into our hands very nicely. Besides, his ego won’t allow him to go home empty handed admitting his defeat. He has no choice but to come after us,” states Max authoritatively to his family.
“And we’ll be ready for him to make his move. We know from what we were able to learn about the static that he is orbiting Earth and will make his move very soon, probably in the next days or weeks ahead,” says Michael looking around the table at his family, of all that are important to him. “We all stand to loose too much if we don’t win this fight, and this is not a fight we’re going to loose,” smiles Michael with the confidence of a commander readying his troops with his leaders approval, anxious to get the upcoming battle behind them. The group ends this discussion and says their good byes for the evening each pair walking off in the direction of their own cabin.
******
Kyle and Mystic reach their cabin. Kyle now refuses to let Mystic walk in the cabin. He blocks her way by standing infront of the front door. “Kyle! Come on, let me in the cabin,” says Mystic not confused as to what Kyle’s up to.
“Nope! I get to carry you in. I know that since we are bonded, it is sort of your people’s equivalent of being married. That being said, we have a custom that the groom carries the bride over the threshold of their home or wherever they are staying at,” smiles Kyle trying his best to be romantic.
“Well, who am I to go against an Earth custom,” smiles Mystic. Kyle swiftly scoops her up into his arms and carries her in to their cabin. “You know what I’ve been thinking. You shouldn’t be upset about the placebo affect, Kyle. Do you know what this means? It means it was all you, Kyle. No enhancements necessary. You definitely got game,” smiles Mystic using sports terms knowing Kyle loves it when she talks sports.
“Hey! You’re right. I do!” beams a proud Kyle. “Thanks for pointing that out to me,” says Kyle giving her a tender kiss. Kyle refuses to put her down and continues to carry her to his bedroom.
“Kyle, just where to do you think you’re taking me?” asks Mystic putting up a mock protest and giggling and squirming in his arms.
“Duh, I’m abducting you,” says a smiling Kyle.
“Kyle, I’m the one that’s an alien hybrid, not you,” grins Mystic at his funny comments.
“I beat you to it, so sue me. I know your leader so we can skip the take me to your leader part. I want to go right to the experimenting with an alien part,” winks Kyle.
*************
“Finally! Alone at last,” says Max after the last of their family leaves to have their own private evening with their loved one.
“Max! That’s not a very nice thing to say about our family,” says Liz with a smirk. “You know I love them all. After all, they are our family; but sometimes there is just a little bit too much together in the togetherness of our group. Do you know what I mean?” asks Liz.
“Oh I know exactly what you mean. We do need our couple time to just be us. Not the leaders of the Destined Ones, not the hybrids in charge, or the peacemakers for Michael and Maria or with Rasmus. It’s nice to just be plain old Max and his beautiful wife Liz,” says Max.
“Aw Max, you sound so neglected over there, Babe. Looks like I might have to do something about that,” says Liz with a feral hungry look in her eyes. “Come here,” says Liz beckoning him with the crook of her finger and a come hither look in her eyes.
“Careful, you have no idea what kinds of wicked thoughts I’ve been having about you all evening. Don’t tempt me Liz,” says Max answering the longing desire in her eyes with a look of his own.
“Don’t tempt you? Now that just sounds like no fun at all. I mean here I am, married to this incredibly hot looking guy from up North, and he tells me not to tempt him. You can count on me not listening to that request, big time. Besides, I have every right to tempt you as often as possible,” Liz says scanning his body visually. She then licks and bites her lower lip. This simple action alone screams of her obvious desire for him. This simple non verbal, non telepathic communication is successful received and does not go unnoticed by Max.
“God Babe, the things you do to me with just a look,” groans Max grasping his control quickly.
“Oh really Babe, like what sort of things do I do to you? And which look were you talking about?” asks Liz with an innocent and completely serious expression on her face as she looks up with her big brown doe eyes at him. Max just stares at her and gulps, then clears his throat.
“Hmmm. I can’t tell you all my weaknesses where you’re concerned now, can I?” asks Max.
“Fine be that way. I have my ways of making you talk, Max”, says Liz in her best fake German accent.
“God Liz, now an accent to throw into the mix. You don’t play fair,” says Max.
“See, I got you to admit something,” squeals Liz in delight. “So the idea of me having an accent turns you on huh,” teases Liz. “What else do I do that turns you on Max?” asks Liz grinning at the look on his face. Max is rendered speechless by her comment. “You know Maria used to tell me all the time when you came into the Crash Down that you were staring at me. I’d look over and you’d be looking at the menu. I always told her that Max Evans would never be interested in me, not this face,” says Liz. “Maria shamelessly argued your case. Telling me, after all these years you have that menu memorized and she was on to you about your interest in me. Too bad I didn’t see it back then. God, you were so cute doing that. You were always at the Crash Down when I was working. It’s funny I never believed Maria until after you healed me and I saw into that beautiful soul of yours, Babe,” confesses Liz.
“Liz, she had me pegged back then. Maria’s a lot of things, but she can really read people. She was dead on with my being interested in you. She’s a little late on picking up on that because I’ve been interested in you since I first saw you on the playground that first day of school. I’m no fool. I’ve had you staked out ever since,” laughs Max.
“Oh so now you’re admitting that you’re my own personal stalker, huh? I can live with that. Gotta love a man that can stalk you and win you over,” teases Liz.
“Well you do realize I have something in common with Superman. Okay, besides the fact he’s an alien, too. He and I both have our vulnerabilities that we are powerless but to succumb too. Superman has his Kryptonite, and I have you. Except you don’t make me weak, you make me stronger and help me be the man I’m meant to be,” says Max thoughtfully.
“That’s so sweet of you to say. I have another confession to make to you Max. You are my Achilles heal so to speak. You always know just how to render me powerless with one look from your amber eyes, a simple touch of your hand, or one of those amazing kisses of yours. I think it’s safe to say we are completely addicted to each other. Of which I’m happy to report there is no cure for our kind of love,” says Liz.
“Liz, you are so going to get it later,” smiles Max.
“Promises, promises,” teases Liz batting her eye lashes at him.
“Of course since you put it that way, later could be sooner rather than later. Liz was that a challenge you were issuing?” asks a hopeful Max with his fingers crossed behind his back.
“Me, challenge you?” asks Liz innocently as she begins to laugh out loud.
“Hey now, it’s not that funny of an idea, Liz. Gees, bruise my fragile male ego why don’t you,” states Max trying his best to fake a pout.
“God you’re cute when you pout like that. Oh come on, Max. I told everyone that there was only one alien enhanced stud muffin and that I’m married to him. I think everyone knows that you’re a legend among our group. I mean look at Kyle, he’s envious of you enough so he even went to the extreme of asking to be altered in that way. What is it with men anyways? It’s like no matter what they do or who they are, that’s a priority. It’s like the one issue that crosses all male barriers. All men want to be out of this world lovers. It’ so sad, they can only dream about it and I’ve got exclusive access to the real thing,” sighs Liz with a smile. “You know, it’s good to be me,” says Liz over her shoulder as she walks into the kitchen to begin cleaning up after dinner.
“Liz! You really know how to boost a guys’ ego, don’t you?” says Max.
“Sure, anything for my lover; but you’d better get out of here before my husband shows up. He might not be quite as charitable,” jokes Liz. “Somehow I don’t think he’ll understand that I have a thing for a dark haired mysterious stranger from an exotic location. Funny thing is, I found out I’m from there too. Oh and that we are destined to be together. I don’t think he’d take that very well,” teases Liz.
“I’m not leaving so I guess your husband and I will uh…have to come to an agreement or work out a schedule and share you. What do you think?” jokes Max.
“Oooh now there’s an idea with possibilities. I like that, but I don’t think it would be a practical one,” says Liz. “You’re smart and hot, Max. What a combination,” melts Liz. She continues explaining as she moves to wrap up the untouched leftovers from dinner and puts them in the refrigerator while cleaning up the kitchen. Max watches each of her movements in worshipful adoration. With lustful eyes he watches her turn away walking to the refrigerator. His eyes drift down to pay homage to her butt that he stares at appreciatively.
‘God I love her butt,’ says Max to himself. ‘Who am I kidding? I’ve always loved Liz’s body and I’m even worse now that she’s my bonded mate and wife. It’s amazing we’re not in bed making love 24/7 as it is. It’s not for lack of trying though,’ smirks Max at his thoughts.
“Max? Did I just catch you staring at my butt?” asks Liz. Max blushes slightly and looks guilty and nods that he has. “You are so amazing, thanks. I love you,” says Liz as she walk over to him and stands on her tip toes and gives him a brief tender kiss that tingles and lingers on his lips. She shoots him a flirtatious look and then turns again to walk away putting an extra sway in her walk. She retrieves a sponge to wipe down the now cleared dinner table. Liz hears Max let out a slight groan and smiles at her accomplishment.
“I’m sorry, did you say something Max?” asks Liz innocently.
“Hmmm no, I didn’t. So you do know you might be expected to make a choice between me and your husband, right?” says Max.
“You’re asking me to choose. Why can’t I have both of you?” teases Liz. “You should be going. I expect my husband anytime now,” says Liz pretending to look around cautiously. “Well if you won’t leave, then I guess I’ll just have to think of something to do with you until he gets here,” smiles Liz seductively.
“Really?! I mean really, like what?” says a curious but playful Max. “Lead on Liz, I’ll go anywhere, anytime, anyplace with you,” states Max taking her hand. He gives her that patented look of his that she swears has to be a power because it always renders her putty in his hands and leaves her weak in the knees. Liz looks at him feeling the heat and strength of his magic stare, she finds herself grabbing something to catch her balance.
She tells herself; ‘see he did it to me again. Damn,’ thinks Liz to herself, ‘so much for acting cool’. “So do you think you’re wife is going to be upset by this?” teases Liz.
Max sighs dreamily, “My wife, she’s the best. Yeah I think she’d be concerned, but I can handle her,” says Max with a smirk.
“Oh? awfully sure of yourself there mister. Care to put your money where your mouth is, Max? Come over here and show me exactly what you mean by saying you can handle your wife. Don’t spare any details, that’s if you can handle revealing your secrets to me,” grins an amorous Liz.
“Oh Babe, I think you know all my secrets. I’ve pretty much laid them all bare before you,” grins Max. This earns him Liz’s blushing smile. Max pulls her in close. He holds her firmly against his body. He stares at her beautiful face appraising her every feature. His eyes settle on her lips. He takes her lips passionately. He pours as much love and desire he can convey into that one amazing mind blowing kiss. Max reluctantly ends the kiss and separates his lips away from hers as they both gasp for air. He smiles at her.
“I love you Liz for now and always,” says Max taking her hands in his and gives them each a kiss in a gesture that shows how much he treasures and cherishes her.
“I’ve always loved you and I always will Max, forever,” says Liz as she wraps her arms around his neck and gently pulls him to her for another passionate kiss.
“Honey, I just remembered something we forgot to do, and it’s really a horrendous oversight on our part. It’s totally not like us to forget some detail like this,” says Max completely serious.
