CHAPTER 1
Maria was rushing down the hallways trying to make it to class before she was late. Suddenly she was pulled into the eraser room. She hardly had any time to react before she felt lips descend upon hers. Her hands went to the person’s chest. Obviously male and obviously worked out, but she still had no idea who it was. Damn good kisser though. She pushed him away and looked up in the dim lighting to see who it was. “Max?”
Maybe she was dreaming. That would explain why Max Evans, soul mate to Liz Parker, had just kissed her. She pinched herself. Ouch! Okay, not dreaming. Maybe it was an alien thing. She realized his hands were on her hips. She took a couple of steps back and immediately missed the warmth of his hands. “Max, what are you doing?”
He looked her up and down. She was wearing a short red skirt and a fitted cream button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Her long blonde hair was pulled up on the sides with a clip showing off her full red lips and clear green eyes. She radiated sex appeal with a contradicting innocence. He licked his lips and pulled her back into his embrace. “I was kissing you.”
That was simple enough. “Uh…why?” she stammered. She was trying not to get lost in his heated gaze. Sure she had told Liz that the aliens really knew what they were doing if the results were Max and Michael, but she had never really looked at Max that way. He was always so quiet, and always staring at Liz.
He chuckled. “Because I wanted to.” He lowered his head and slowly kissed his way down her neck. He could feel her shiver in his arms.
Every time he kissed her she felt it all the way down to her toes. She felt his hand move from her hip up to her chest. His hand covered her breast, and her nipple quickly hardened. He boldly rolled her nipple between his fingers. She moaned. “Mmmmm…Max.” His lips came back to hers and kissed her passionately. She was quickly losing all rational thought.
“You are mine.” He whispered in her ear. His lips sucked on her ear lobe causing a shudder to run through her body.
Her senses finally came back to her when she felt his hands unbuttoning her shirt. In the distance she heard the bell ring. She pulled away and buttoned her shirt back up. “I…uh…have to go.” She left the room half relieved that she got away and half disappointed that he had let her leave.
She walked into History class. Liz was there. Oh god, she had been kissing her best friend’s other half. Technically Max and Liz weren’t together right now because of the message from his mother proclaiming him King and Tess his wife, but she saw the way Liz looked at Max when she thought no one was watching. Next time she saw Max she would just make him tell her what was going on, and then demand that he stop it.
~~~
Maria’s shift at the Crashdown was taking forever. It was slow out in the restaurant and Jose had gone on break, so she was in the kitchen eating fresh strawberries. As her teeth slowly sank into another strawberry, she felt a firm body press up against her from behind and strong arms envelop her.
He had come to the Crashdown to see Liz, but all thoughts of Liz instantly left his mind when he saw what Maria was doing. Damn, she was sexy.
She instinctively knew who it was and allowed herself to sink into his embrace. Then she remembered where she was. She straightened and tried to pull away but he held onto her tightly. She sighed. “Max, we can’t do this. What about Liz? What do you want from me?” Why was he seeking her out? Didn’t he have enough women chasing after him? Both Liz and Tess wanted him along with most of the female population of Roswell High. Sure she had fantasized about him, who wouldn’t, but she had never allowed herself to think that he could be interested in her in real life.
“Shhh, I know what I want and I shall have it.” She felt his breath tickle her ear. He whispered, “I have been watching you for a long time now. I have chosen you, and now I want you to acknowledge that you belong to me.” His hand had traveled down her outer thigh to the bottom hem of her uniform. He was thrilled to feel those long legs. His hand moved up caressing the skin of her thighs under the short skirt. His other hand fed her a strawberry.
She took a bite of the strawberry. She told herself that it was only because it looked too good to go to waste. It had nothing to do with the sensual act of biting into lush, ripe fruit offered from his large, masculine hand. She could feel his erection pressing against her from behind. It was becoming more difficult to disagree with him. She reminded herself that she didn’t belong to anyone but herself. “Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are?” Her voice wasn’t quite as indignant as she had hoped it would be.
With his voice deep from desire he said, “I am your King.” He licked the side of her neck and gently sucked on it. He loved that fire in her that made her want to fight him. As King he had taken his time to choose carefully. He knew he had chosen his consort well.
Maria was about to tell him where he could take his King crap when she heard Liz coming down the stairs. This time he allowed her to pull away. She took a few steps away from him and waited for Liz to appear in the kitchen.
Liz fixed her eyes on Maria. “Maria, do you need any help with…” She trailed off noticing for the first time that Max was there. Maria was forgotten at once. Liz ducked her head and looked at him through her dark eyelashes. “Hi, Max. What are you doing here?” She was delighted in the knowledge that he had come to see her. She had walked away from him to test his loyalty to her, and he was proving himself impressively. There was no way that Tess was going to win this battle.
Maria interrupted before Max had the chance to respond. “I’m…um…going to just go see if any of the customers need anything.” She grabbed the bowl of fruit, stuck it in the refrigerator, and quickly walked out the doors into the restaurant.
Liz watched Maria go with a frown on her face. The frown was rapidly replaced with a sly smile as she recalled that Max was there to see her.
However, Max had seen her frown. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing really, I was just a little worried about Maria. I wanted her to stay at my house since her mom is out of town for all this week, but she insists that she will be fine all alone.”
“Don’t worry, Liz. I’m sure she can take care of herself.” Maria was probably the strongest woman he knew.
Liz smiled. Enough talk about Maria. “So, did you want to come up to my room and talk?”
“Sure.” He tried to smile, but as soon as she turned to lead him up the stairs he rolled his eyes. Well, at least she had given him valuable information.
~~~
Maria was snuggled up on the sofa after a long boring day of work. The silence of the house was getting to her so she flipped on the television. As she flipped through the channels she heard a knock at the door. She knew who it was and wasn’t sure she should let him in. She had noticed recently that she could sense his presence when he was nearby. Of course, he could always let himself in with his powers. She got up off the sofa to let him in.
She was so absorbed in what might happen if she opened the door that she forgot what she was wearing. The only things she had on were a small white t-shirt and satin pink panties.
She opened the door and her eyes widened. He looked amazing. His clothes were simple enough, black pants and a white button down shirt. The shirt had a few of the top buttons undone hinting at the tantalizing chest underneath, and the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up a bit revealing strong well-defined forearms. But what really got her attention was the air of confidence about him and the lust flaring in his eyes.
A shudder swept through him at his first full view of her after walking inside. He stepped towards her closing the door behind him. He began to close in on her, but she stepped back out of his reach. He continued forward, stalking his prey, until he had her backed up against the back of the sofa.
Max curled his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her lips to his. He drew on her lips, opening them, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. He slid his other hand down inside her panties. She was already so wet for him. He rubbed her clit and watched her squirm. Her breath hitched slightly then she moaned his name. Her panties were in the way. Turning her around, he quickly ripped them off of her. His arms wrapped around her from behind, and he went back to sliding two fingers in and out of her. He whispered in her ear, “Who do you belong to?”
She was shocked. His fingers inside her felt so damn good. She was having trouble thinking. “No one…myself” she replied.
“I see you are going to need to be disciplined before you understand.” Before she could comprehend what was happening he had her bent over the back of the sofa. He placed his large hand on the small of her back keeping her in that position. With the toe of his boot he forced her to spread her legs.
Maria was reeling from the new position that left her rear exposed to him when she felt the first spanking. It stung. She was so humiliated that he could do this to her she couldn’t even speak, and unwanted tears sprang forth. He was spanking her harder. It hurt, but she also started to notice this twinge of pleasure every time his hand made contact with her bare skin. She soon found herself pressing back into the spanks.
When her backside started to take on a lovely shade of red, he stopped and pressed his whole body against her back. He lowered his mouth next to her ear and in a deep, husky voice he said, “yes, excellent…beautiful”. At the soft words of approval, she wanted nothing more than to please him.
Max grasped her drenched sex again, his fingers gently parting the lips and playing with her clit. He would toy with her until she gave him the answer he desired. He asked again, “Who do you belong to?”
She gasped then whispered, “You…I belong to you…”.
He smiled. Yes, that was the answer he wanted. He picked her up in his arms, and carried her to her bedroom.

Max set her down next to her bed. The tight, thin shirt perfectly revealed the outlines of her nipples. He needed to take off that last piece of clothing, to have her completely bare to him. “Lift your arms,” he demanded. Once her arms were in the air, he placed his hand on her hips and gradually moved them up her sides pushing up the small t-shirt she was wearing. He tossed the shirt to the ground, and slid his hands back down her still up-stretched arms until he reached her breasts. Her breasts were firm and high, with nipples of a light rose color. “So beautiful,” he told her. He gathered her breasts in his strong kneading hands.
Maria’s knees were trembling from his touch. She wrapped her arms around his waist hoping that she wouldn’t fall.
Playing with her nipples roughly, his teeth grazed her shoulder. He bit down lightly right next to her collar bone, and then sucked on the skin voraciously as heat infused the area he had bitten. He placed wet sucking kisses along her neck until he reached right below her ear.
A hot shiver shot down her body straight to her sex when she heard him whisper in her ear, “Undress me.” She tried desperately to control the shaking in her hands as she unbuttoned his shirt. Finally, she managed to open his shirt and slipped it off his shoulders.
Max took a step back to sit down on the bed, and she was able to get a good look at his chest. Maria gulped and had to take several deep breaths. He was amazingly sculpted. She removed his socks and boots, and he stood up once more as she undid his pants. She looked down as his pants and boxer briefs were removed. His large cock was beautiful, and couldn’t have been any harder.
Max took her back into his embrace. He crushed his lips against hers, and delighted when she opened her mouth to him. He kissed her hungrily. They parted gasping for air. His body quivered in anticipation as he told her, “Get down on your knees. I want to see those gorgeous full lips wrapped around my cock.”
“I…uh…I’ve never…” she stammered embarrassedly. She wanted to please him, but she had never even been touched by a man in this way.
Max stroked her face lovingly with the back of his hand. “It’s okay. You will learn…for me. I will teach you. Just keep your throat relaxed. Now, down.” Maria blushed furiously, but moved down and knelt between his legs. She opened her mouth to him. He pushed his cock against the roof of her mouth, then deep down into her throat.
Her lips closed over his cock. She grazed her teeth over it, and he bucked into her mouth. Maria was quickly becoming delirious with the thickness and wetness of it. She was thankful when he took control by holding her head steady while he fucked her mouth in long powerful strokes.
Her lips felt so good around his hard length just as he knew they would, and her mouth was unbelievably wet and hot. Being a fast learner, she was doing well and had relaxed enough so that she was able to take him deep inside her throat.
His thrusts became quicker, and he moaned her name. When the smooth tip of his cock driving hard inside of her mouth emptied deep into her throat, all she could do was swallow the hot salty fluid hungrily.
After Maria had taken in every last drop of him, he lifted her from the floor and laid her on the bed. Max positioned himself over her, and his wet mouth closed over her breast and sucked hard. Her breasts were a perfect mouthful, absolutely luscious. He fed upon them greedily, urged on by her soft moans and whimpers.
Maria arched her back as pleasure washed over her. Max kissed his way down the valley between her breasts, over her stomach, stopping briefly to flick his tongue in her belly button, and then lower until his head was between her legs.
Max placed his hand low on her belly. His hand glowed with a serene blue, and she could feel heat inside of her womb for a few brief seconds. When she looked at him questioningly he huskily said, “So we will have no worries until I want you swollen with my child.” His hand moved over a few inches to the left. This time his hand lit up with a dark purple color as she felt the heat course through her entire body. “I have marked you…you belong to me and are now a part of the royal family.” He placed a wet sucking kiss over the royal insignia. She could now feel a small pulse in the area where his hand had been.
However, she had little time to contemplate what he had told her before she felt his hot breath on her moist mound. Max’s fingers pulled at her sex, opening it, widening it for his assessment. Juices exploded inside of her, and she could feel them trickling down her inner thighs. She was ashamed, but his tongue seemingly lapped up the liquid eagerly. His first thought was that the taste of her was intoxicating.
He held her hips down with one hand while the fingers of the other hand still held her lower lips apart. He lowered his mouth to lick just inside the plump lips to tease her. She moaned loudly, “Mmaaaaxxxx, please….” His tongue swiftly drove deep into her sex. Maria lifted her hips as far as she could and cried out. He thrust deeper with his tongue, burying his face in her patch of soft curls.
Two of his fingers replaced his tongue as he sucked on her clitoris savagely. He pumped his fingers in and out of her. She could feel a tightening in her abdomen as he continued to lave her small nub. Maria looked down and her breath caught in her throat. He was watching her, smiling at her as she stared transfixed into his dark brown eyes. He licked the taste of her from his lips and said, “Let go, Maria. Cum for me.” As the words left his lips she felt her hot core convulse violently.
Her orgasm was so blinding, obliterating that she didn’t even notice where Max was until she felt his tongue licking at her open mouth. Her breath was coming out in short pants. He stroked her neck and sucked on her earlobe.
Seeing her writhing beneath him had made him hard once again. While she was still riding the waves of her orgasm, Max forced his way into her hot wet depths. He pushed past her barrier in one fast stroke.
Maria screamed at the searing intensity of pleasure and pain. Her opening gripped him hard, and he groaned at the intense pleasure. “Yeesssss…Maria…so good.” She was incredibly tight.
His large cock stretched her and filled her completely. Jarring explosions of pleasure swept through her. He thrust in and out of her in deep, fast strokes. This was not going to be a gentle ride, but at this point she didn’t care one bit. She wrapped her legs around his waist causing his hard length to sink even deeper into her core.
His pounding movements were unrelenting as her body was rocked by his thrusts. With a loud, indecent cry she felt white-hot pleasure flash through her body, shattering her to pieces. Her sex clamped tight on his cock, and he came deep inside her.
In that moment, they were one. Max kissed her passionately as they both experienced wave after wave of bliss flow through them. They continued to kiss and stroke each other everywhere. Neither could get enough. Finally, Maria’s breathing slowed down enough for her to be able to speak. She whispered reverently in his ear, “My King”.
Thanks for the feedback. Just a reminder, I did say this was going to be plotless smut so no one's reactions will be anywhere near realistic. Although, they should be fun.
CHAPTER 3
It had been a rough week for Michael. He was masturbating several times a day, and still had lust boiling in his brain. He just couldn’t figure out why. Michael was having some amazing fantasies, mostly with Liz’s friend Maria in the starring role, but nothing seemed to satiate him. He finally went to school after skipping the first few days in an effort to keep himself too preoccupied to even think about sex. It hadn’t worked. In fact, it had been worse at school. The urge to take the cute little blonde and have his way with her was becoming uncontrollable which is why he was presently on his way to Max’s house. He needed to be sure it wasn’t something alien related.
Michael crawled through Max’s window. “Maxwell, we need to talk…” he trailed off staring agape at the scene in front of him. Shockingly, Max was in bed with the aforementioned blonde, and they were both naked. Maria was lying on her side, her back pressed against Max’s front with one leg thrown over his so that her legs were spread apart. Michael could see her hard little nipples, and a slight glistening of the curls around Max’s finger that he had dipped into her sex. “Uh…I…I didn’t know you had company. I’ll come back later,” he muttered. He tried to tear his gaze away from the erotic sight and crawl back out the window, but couldn’t. Neither one of them made any move to cover themselves up. Instead, he watched as Maria raised her hips slightly causing Max’s finger to go deeper. Michael felt all his blood rush to his groin, and tried to stifle a moan.
Max was carefully watching Michael’s reaction. “Don’t go. I was hoping you would show up today.” He stroked his thumb across Maria’s clit enjoying the sound of her whimpers. They just had amazing sex, yet her desire to have him again was obvious. “I recently recovered my past life memories. I can show you how to do it as well, if you want.”
Michael couldn’t form words at that moment so he nodded. Max removed his hand from Maria, and Michael’s dick got harder at her noises of protest. Max got up from the bed and put on his boxers. He looked back at Maria. Her beautiful golden hair fanned out across the pillow, and she had placed her own fingers where his had been seconds before. He sat Michael down in his desk chair and turned him away from the temptress on the bed so he could have his full attention. “Okay. I’m gonna make a connection and I’ll show you where to remove the block.” Michael nodded his agreement. Max touched his arm, and quickly felt the connection rush into him. He showed Michael how to remove the block then broke the connection as Michael’s memories came flooding back to him.
A few minutes later Michael opened his eyes. “That was amazing! So much information, but now it just feels innate…like I’ve known it forever.” He smiled and clapped Max on the back. That was the best gift he had ever received. “Thanks, man.”
Max smiled back. “It is pretty remarkable, isn’t it? I have to say I’m glad we know now.” He contemplated how his own memories had changed his perspective on his life so that now he could better fulfill his role as King. “Now we know what’s out there and how to prepare for it.” He finally understood what Michael meant by not wanting his King to sit back and take a pacifist stance on everything. It definitely wasn’t the way of a great King.
“It feels like so much pressure has been lifted off my shoulders.” Now Michael knew he could protect his leader and how best to do so. They both heard a low moan, and turned to the small girl on the bed. “I actually came over to ask you about these urges I had been having all week, but now I think I understand,” Michael said pointedly looking at Maria.
Max grinned. “I made her my consort.”
“She’s our Queen?” Michael asked.
“No, it’s the only thing she has denied me since I bound her to the Royal family. Though, her explanation that the Queen is often too busy to gratify her husband and she did not want that for herself satisfied me greatly. I will take a Queen to run the household and organize social affairs, but she will not occupy my bed.” Maria had suggested that both Liz and Tess had the characteristics of a good Queen. She thought that Liz’s organizational skills would come in handy for day-to-day household activities, and that the scheming manipulations of Tess would benefit him in social gatherings. Max wasn’t worried about it too much since he had already chosen his mate. Filling the role of Queen wasn’t quite as important now. “Maria is my companion, and she will be the one to bear my heirs when it is time,” he said while looking at her in adoration.
Upon further reflection Max added, “I’m sorry, the bond is probably why you have been having those urges. Have you felt drawn to her in particular?”
“Yeah, I thought it was just because she knew our secret so my subconscious thought it was safe to fantasize about her.” He thought about all his sexual experiences from his past life. As General of the King’s armies he had no problem bedding women. He gazed at Maria with an experienced eye, “that and well…she is a splendid creature.”
“That she is,” Max sighed. “I made her mine on Monday, and we have been together every night since.”
Michael glanced at Max’s door that stood wide open. Max caught the look and assured him, “No one is home. My parents and Isabel went to visit relatives for the weekend.” Max walked back to the bed, and swept down to give Maria a passionate kiss. He closed his eyes briefly trying to gather the strength not to surge into her at that very moment. Once he had himself composed, he turned back to Michael. “Her mom was gone this week, but came back today so we decided to stay here for the weekend.” She was still pleasuring herself with her own fingers. Listening to her soft mews, his hand stroked along her ribcage barely touching the underside of her breasts.
Michael had always been his best friend and the person he trusted most in the world. He deserved to be rewarded for all he had done for his King. “I’ll leave you two to get better acquainted.” Max leaned over and whispered loudly in her ear so that Michael also heard, “Do as the General wishes.” He walked towards the door, and turned at the last moment to see Maria crawl towards where Michael was standing at the end of the bed. She licked her lips, staring into his light brown eyes intently. She cupped the flesh of her breast, her enticing nipple hard as a berry, and turned to him as in silent offering. Max almost stayed to watch, but decided that Michael might be more comfortable without an audience his first time. Well, first time in this life.
Michael gulped loudly. She had the face of an innocent angel, yet a wicked grin. Maria had always seemed so fragile to him, but now he recognized something savage in her. He bent down to take her breast into his mouth, suckling the enticing flesh. He could feel desire building upon desire, and was desperately trying to calm himself down so that he didn’t cum in his ever-tightening jeans. He released her breast and moved up to her mouth.
She liked his kisses. They were harsher and more demanding than that of the King. While their lips were still locked in a passionate embrace she began to remove his clothes. Maria pulled off his shirt. His nipples were beautifully erect. She lowered her mouth, and alternated between sucking and nipping at them. After his pants were removed, Maria took his hard length in her small hand. Like her Majesty, her General had a large, thick cock. She tightened her grip and stroked teasingly slow.
Michael growled in her ear, the sound like the purr of a lion sent shivers down her spine. His eyes darkened dangerously and he pushed her back on the bed stretching out on top of her. Michael sucked on her tongue. The taste of her was enthralling. He lifted his hips slightly to position his cock as he entered her passage. Her sex clamped down on him hard, and Michael had to pause to fight for some control.
A wave of pleasure that originated at the spot where she had been marked spread through her as he plunged deep inside of her silken walls. Michael’s cock filled her divinely. His strokes were fast and hard as he thrust back and forth. Maria wrapped her long legs tightly around him.
“Ohhhh…General…FUCK, god yes!” Maria’s fingernails scraped down his back leaving dark red scratches. He groaned deep in his throat. The pain made him drive his cock into her all the more fiercely. She lifted her hips meeting his every thrust. Every time Michael pounded into her, his groin rubbed against her sensitive nub. She felt her orgasm building to a crescendo and before long was coming apart under his hard body. At the feel of her sex convulsing around his cock Michael came, spurting into her in violent jerks. He shouted her name in ecstasy, “Maaaarrrrriiiaaa….”.
Michael rolled them over so that she was on top, but his now flaccid length remained inside of her. Maria looked up at him. “Wow,” she breathed heavily before resting her head against his chest and drifting off to sleep. Michael felt the same way. She was amazing. He soon drifted off to sleep as well.
He woke a bit later to find that Max had come back into the room. Michael looked down to find Maria still asleep on his chest. Just from looking at her and remembering what they had done he could feel his length start to harden inside of her again.
“How was it?” Max asked. The room was heady with the delicious scent of sex.
“She is so tight,” Michael said appreciatively. “It was fantastic.” Words didn’t seem enough.
Max nodded at Michael’s assessment recalling how tight she was no matter how many times he had stretched her. He moved to sit on the side of the bed, a silent communication passing between the two men. As she lay on top of Michael, Max stroked along her shoulders down her backside all the way to her ankles and back up again. He stopped to dip his finger into her wet center encountering Michael’s stiffening cock.
She stirred from her half-asleep state, her body once again full of craving and renewed vigor. Maria felt Michael’s hands on her buttocks spreading her cheeks. Suddenly, she was startled by the unfamiliar touch of fingers on her anus. Maria was embarrassed to be stroked in such an intimate part of her body. “M…Max?” Her entire body tensed, but the pleasure in her doubled as her King slipped a wet finger inside her. She moaned loudly, her breathing becoming ragged once again.
Max moved his finger slowly in and out of her extremely tight hole encouraged by her moaning. He heard Michael whisper in her ear, “Relax”. Her young supple body softened and he inserted another finger. Max grabbed her hips and pulled her up so that she was on her hands and knees. Michael scooted out from under her, but stayed kneeling in front of her head.
Maria closed her eyes and arched her back, forcing her buttocks up. “Yeessssss….more” Max was now pulling and pushing his fingers in and out of her at a faster rate. Eventually, he pulled his fingers out of her. She groaned in objection, but was thrilled when she felt his cock slowly entering the tight hole his fingers had left to fuck her from behind. The pain as he pushed himself inside of her was exquisite and searing.
She opened her eyes, surprised to find Michael’s hard cock in front of her face. Her green eyes glittered with excitement. Maria drew Michael’s cock into her mouth, suckling his hard length as she pumped her backside against Max’s mounting thrusts. Michael gasped then moaned his need and she moved her mouth down on his cock, savoring every inch of it. He pushed his cock deeper into her throat as he gathered her hair in one of his hands, holding her head firmly against his groin. His other hand massaged her breasts and pulled her hard nipples between his forefinger and thumb.
Max slammed deep into her body over and over again. He dug his fingers into her hips with bruising force as his thrusts in her rear grew rougher, longer, faster. She was being speared at both ends. They quickly fell into a rhythm, Maria worked her mouth hard on Michael’s delectably thick cock while Max pressed deeper into her from behind.
Her body was being rocked savagely by both men. Max wrapped his arm around her hips to rub her clit. Hot electrical energy coursed through all three of their bodies like a live wire, flowing from one body to the next leaving nerve endings tingling in its wake. Voices barely penetrated the roaring sound in her ears. She could just make out the commands of “cum for me” and “harder” along with exclamations of “Maria!” and “fuck!”.
Maria felt the tightening of her whole body as her orgasm threatened to break her. Suddenly, the room was bathed in a dark, pulsing purple glow. Time stood still, all of their bodies completely rigid before all three came at the same time and overwhelming sensations of fulfillment rapidly raced through them.
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Reminder - plotless smut to follow...
CHAPTER 4
Michael, Max and Maria sat around the dining room table eating lunch together. They had stayed together throughout the weekend, enjoying their connection. As Sunday rolled around, all three were disappointed that they would have to split up. The Evans would be home soon, and Maria’s mom was still in town. They had considered staying at Michael’s, but it still didn’t solve the problem of coming up with an excuse for not being home on a school night.
Max had been mulling over an idea he had, and decided to share it with Michael and Maria. “I’m going to call Nacedo."
“What for?” Michael asked.
“I can’t continue to live here. For one, I think independence will be necessary in order to fight our enemies. I also want to be able to see my love whenever I please.” He looked at Maria giving her a soft smile. “I’ll call Nacedo and have him pose as my biological father. We can come with some story about how his estranged wife took off with their children and he has been searching for them ever since. It won’t be too unexpected if I decide to move in with my new-found father in order to get to know him before leaving for college in a couple of years. Isabel will most likely want to continue living here which will help to soften the blow. Then you,” he said pointing to Michael, “and I will move into the nice home Nacedo bought when he first came to town.”
It sounded like a good plan, and it was a much nicer place than his apartment. Michael scratched his eyebrow. “With Tess?”
“No! She can move into your apartment or go live with the Valenti’s.” Max certainly did not want her constantly cavorting around him trying to get his attention. The less he saw of her, the better.
Michael nodded, he didn’t particularly want to live with the manipulating blonde either. “That would be good. Maria can stay with us whenever her mom is out of town.”
“Actually, I was thinking that we could also have Nacedo find Ms. Deluca a position that requires extensive traveling. Maybe setting up conventions all over the states since she already has expertise in that area, and we can make it an offer that she can’t refuse. She’ll want to be able to provide for her daughter and be able to send her to a good college.” Max got up to place his plate in the sink.
“You think she’ll let Maria live on her own?”
Max stood next to the table and shook his head, he wasn’t sure but with his plans that didn’t really matter. “Tess’ father, Ed Harding, will extend an offer for her to live with him and his daughter.” In reality, she would be living with Max and Michael. Max pulled Maria to him as she walked back to the table after putting her plate in the sink. “That is, if it’s okay with you?”
She caressed the forearm that held her tightly against him. “I’ll miss my mom, but we’ve never really had much money. It would be great for her to earn enough money to be able to retire early or to do what she wants.”
“What about you? Are you okay living with me and Michael?”
Maria looked across the table to where Michael was still sitting and smiled at him. She leaned back against Max. “Of course!” Her head lolled to one side so she could look up into his dark chocolate brown eyes. “Max, you are my other half. I would go anywhere with you,” she told him simply.
He nuzzled her neck and bit down lightly. Maria giggled and squirmed around in his grip. Immediately his cock hardened as her backside rubbed against his groin. One hand firmly gripped her hip as the other pulled up her skirt revealing a black lace thong.
Michael watched with bated breath as Max’s fingers rubbed against her sensitive clit through the already damp lace.
Maria gasped and arched into his touch, “If you continue, your parents are going to get a big surprise when they walk in on you and Michael fucking me on their kitchen table.”
“One more second and I’m not going to care,” he breathed in her ear.
Unfortunately at that moment they heard a car door slam followed by his parents and Isabel entering the house. Maria had straightened her skirt and he pulled her to stand beside him, his hand resting on her hip holding her securely to his side. The front door closed and he heard his mom cry out, “Honey, we’re home.”
Max shouted back, “We’re in the kitchen, Mom!”
As his parents entered the kitchen, he set to introducing them to his… lover, best friend, companion, consort, mate … his everything. “Mom…Dad, this is Maria. We’ve been together since last week.” That was vague enough, and yet very true. They had been together in every way in the past week.
“It’s very nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Evans,” Maria said sweetly.
Phillip nodded a hello and Diane Evans put an arm around the young girl’s shoulder, pulling her away from her son’s possessive grip. “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, dear.”
As his wife pulled Maria to the side, Phillip Evans glanced at his son’s girlfriend appreciatively then proudly slapped his son on the back for snagging such a great catch.
“You have a gorgeous home, Mrs. Evans.”
“Thank you. Please, dear, call me Diane.”
Maria smiled and was about to reply when Isabel walked in. “Izzy!” Maria enthusiastically greeted the statuesque blonde.
Isabel rushed up to the smaller girl and gave her a big hug. Maria was family and there was no need to maintain her Ice Princess routine in front of the much-loved younger girl. “Hey Maria! Oh, I’ll be right back. I got you something while we were in Santa Fe.”
Diane was amazed. Isabel had told her when she bought the anklet that it was for a good friend. She had no idea that said friend was also her son’s girlfriend. Both Isabel and Max rarely opened up to other people, their bond with young lady in front of her was definitely a testament to her character.
Isabel walked back in and presented a beautiful multiple-stranded gold anklet. “Oh Izzy, it’s gorgeous!” Maria exclaimed. “You shouldn’t have.”
“I couldn’t resist. I immediately thought of you when I saw it.” Isabel hugged Maria and whispered in her ear, “It’s a ‘welcome to the family’ gift.”
Maria giggled, hugging Isabel back keenly. “Thanks, Iz.”
“Hey! No hogging all the attention, she was mine first,” Max told his sister, pulling Maria back to his side. Maria rolled her eyes, but willingly clasped his hand in hers.
Their parents chuckled at their playful banter. It wasn’t often that they saw their kids so happy and carefree.
Phillip kissed his wife gently on her temple. “Maria, we were planning on ordering take-out, but you and Michael are welcome to stay and have early dinner with us.”
“Thank you for the offer, but I promised my mom that we would spend some quality mother-daughter bonding time together tonight.”
Diane smiled. “Well, you are welcome here anytime, dear.”
Maria ducked her head and shyly replied, “Thank you.” It was nice to feel welcomed with such warmness. “Well, I better get going before my mom starts wondering where I am.”
“I’ll get my keys so I can drive you home.”
“No, Max. You stay with your family. You haven’t seen them all weekend.” When he moved out, he wouldn’t see them as often and despite his nonchalant attitude she was sure that he would miss them. “I’ll walk. It’s a beautiful day and my house isn’t that far away.”
“Far enough,” Max muttered.
Michael spoke up, “How ‘bout I drop you off on my way home?”
“Sounds good, okay with you?” she asked Max.
Max nodded. “I’ll walk you out.”
“Bye, dear.” Diane hugged the girl to her lightly while Phillip gently squeezed her shoulder. “It really was great meeting you, Maria. I hope we see you again soon,” she said with genuine affection.
Released from the hug, Maria stepped back smiling. “Bye.” She waved goodbye to Izzy as Max and Michael escorted her out the door.
As the front door closed, Diane pulled her daughter to the table. “Okay, she’s delightful. Tell me everything.” Phillip could hear their giggling from where he stood at the window watching his son.
The three stopped beside Michael’s motorcycle. Max pulled Maria into his arms. “I’ll be by later tonight.” He looked at Michael.
“Don’t worry. I’ll stay with her until you get there.”
Max thanked him as Michael got on the bike to start it. When he turned back to the girl in his arms, her slight frown caught his attention. “Don’t look at me like that. I worry, that’s all.”
Maria sighed, giving up the fight easily. They were both too overprotective, but she didn’t think that would ever change. Max bent his head and she felt the warmth of his mouth on hers, a passionate demanding kiss that promised more later on. Maria’s mind closed to everything but his lips on hers, his tongue gliding against hers, sending shivers of desire through her body.
Phillip watched at the window and figured that it might be too late for the ‘birds and the bees’ talk with his son.
Putting on a helmet, Maria hopped onto the bike behind Michael. She blew Max a kiss as Michael pulled out of the driveway. On the way to her house, Maria unconsciously rubbed her legs against the back of Michael’s causing him to groan and pull her arms tighter around his waist. Her hand drifted lower and she felt his state of arousal. He quickly pulled her hand back to his stomach in an effort to make it to her house without crashing his bike.
When they reached her home, she showed Michael to the back corner of the house where her window was located. She pointed at the window. “This is my room. I’ll go through the front so my mom knows I’m here. I’ll bring you some dinner later.” Maria licked her lips. “I might be awhile.”
Michael pushed her against the side of the house. “I don’t think I can wait another minute.” All the teasing from watching Max rub her soft mound to seeing the way he kissed her when she left, it was all too much. He kissed her hard and eagerly, pulling up her skirt and lifting her so that her long trim legs wrapped around his hips. Michael moved his hand between their bodies, releasing his cock from the confines of his jeans and brushing her wet lace panties aside.
Two fingers held her sensitive lips apart as he slid his long middle finger inside her. She could feel her juices trickling down her thighs as he continued to pump his finger in and out of her, adding another to increase the pleasure. Maria bit down on his shoulder to stop from moaning too loudly. She whimpered, “Now, Michael! Please, now!”
Michael removed his fingers and positioned his hard length at her core. He pushed forward, entering her soaked passage. Michael gasped loudly as her wet heat clamped down around his throbbing cock tightly.
Moving her hips, Maria met each of his thrusts with one of her own. Both of them panted, struggling for air, as they strained against one another. One of his hands moved back down to where they were joined to stroke her clit. As Michael got closer to his own release, he wanted her to be there with him.
Maria swallowed the scream that was attempting to break free as her inner muscles fluttered and she felt her orgasm move through her in ecstasy. Michael closed his eyes, holding back his shout of release as he came inside her.
Their coupling was fast and primal, and both felt completely sated for the moment. As her breathing finally started to even out, she quietly moaned, “Michael”. He looked into her darkened green eyes and kissed her with every bit of passion he had, drowning in her intoxicating sweetness. Coming up for air, he brushed her hair back from her forehead and used his powers to clean them both up. “I’ll see you inside later.” Maria nodded and kissed his lips lightly before making her way to the front of the house.
~~~
The next day Max was sitting in class trying his hardest to pay attention to his biology professor when a sudden flash hit him. In the flash, he saw himself taking a very naked Maria on one of the lab benches. He looked to the back of the classroom where she sat with Alex. Calmly raising her head, she looked directly into his eyes. Maria saw the glint of awareness in his dark eyes and bowed her head sending him another flash of her kneeling under his lab bench going down on him.
It took all he had not to moan out loud. They had learned over the weekend that the seal he had marked her with gave her the ability to communicate with him telepathically. Incidentally, as her bodyguard Michael was also able to communicate with her in this way. She had enjoyed being able to speak to them in their minds, yet she had never used the ability like this, sending him erotic images one after the other. If he had been able to think straight, he might have sent her back a few images. As it was Max was having trouble even keeping his breathing steady.
Finally the class was over. He sat at his desk as the teacher and other students filed out the door for lunch until the only ones left in the room were he, Liz and his gorgeous yet mischievous other half.
“Max, are you coming for lunch?” Liz asked.
‘He certainly hoped so… just not in the way she meant,’ he thought. “Maria and I need to go over our notes for an English test we have next period.”
“All lunch hour?”
At the very least. “It’s going to be a hard one, so we need all the time we can get,” he told her, chuckling inwardly at the accidental pun.
Unaware of the glare she was receiving from the back of the classroom, Liz put her hand on Max’s shoulder. She looked up at him with her big doe eyes and said, “I guess I’ll see you later.”
Max stepped back from her touch letting her hand fall in between them to the table. “Sure,” he said dismissively, his mind already occupied with wicked ideas to teach his girl a lesson she wouldn’t soon forget.
At the door, Liz turned back remembering that her friend was there as well. “Bye, Maria. I’ll see you at work tonight.”
Maria smiled sweetly and waved her goodbye.
As soon as Liz had left the classroom, Max turned to Maria. “You have been a very naughty girl.”
“Who me?” she asked innocently. Maria watched him walk by and close the window blinds at the back of the classroom. Her playful green gaze continued to follow him as he went to the front of the classroom to lock the door with his powers ensuring that they would not be disturbed.
“Come here,” Max demanded.
She sauntered over to where he stood behind the teacher’s desk.
Moving close to her, he told her softly, “Take off your panties and hand them to me.”
Maria reached under her skirt and slid her silk panties down her legs. Complying with his wishes, she bent to pick them up and handed them to her King.
“Turn around and pull your skirt up to your waist,” he told her huskily, placing the confiscated panties in his pocket.
She turned around to face the desk, and slid her hands down her sides until she reached the hem of her short pink skirt. Her fingers hooked under the material and she gradually pulled the skirt up over her hips.
Max used his powers to remove her shirt and stood back to admire the view then told her, “Now, bend over and place your elbows on the desk in front of you. Palms flat.”
Soon after submitting to his wishes, she was flooded with delicious pain as he smacked her backside so firmly with his hand that it had her crying aloud in an instant. Her flesh tingled from the loud echoing spanks. Maria was lost in the sound, the gratifying hot explosions of stinging pain on the hot surface of her flesh when his hand made contact with her bare skin. His hand came down again and again. Her heart beat wildly as her breath became more and more ragged. With every new forceful slap, she was rocked forward only to moan loudly and push herself back into another torrent of hot spanks.
Max took in the redness of her flesh as it was punished, and watched as she undulated uncontrollably beneath his hand, his whole body alive with desire for her. Breathing deeply, he unzipped his jeans and quickly released his erect cock from the restrictive clothing. He ran his hand down the silky skin of her bare back till he had reached where her alabaster skin had turned a dark pink. His fingers pressed into the sore skin, and he smiled as she cried out again. Max grabbed her hips roughly, holding her down tightly and nudged her legs wider before fiercely driving his cock inside of her tight, wet passage. His hips worked against her in a steady rhythm as she twisted and arched her back.
Sweat broke out on their bodies as he slammed deeper into her body over and over again. Maria moaned his name, her entire body quaking, harsh pants leaving her full lips. In spite of herself, a great guttural moan escaped her lips as her orgasm sent wave after wave of pleasure coursing through her body.
Her muscles gripped him hard, pulling him deeper into her body. Shuddering heavily, Max thrust into her hard one last time, shouting her name and spilling his seed inside her hot depths. He fell across her back, his body pressed closely against hers. Gently he stroked her hair and the nape of her neck, pressing soft kisses against the slick skin of her shoulder. “I love you,” he whispered hotly against her ear. Maria looked into his gorgeous amber eyes over her shoulder and smiled serenely. “Love you, too.”
After a few moments of blissful rest, he pulled out of her and told her, “Come on, the bell is going to ring soon.” Max zipped his pants back up as she pushed her skirt back down. He pulled her shirt back over her shoulders and brushed her hands away so he could button her up himself. Max stood back to look at her all put back together again, he decided she was simply stunning no matter what.
Maria wriggled and held out her hand patiently. Max shook his head. “Part of your punishment,” he told her as he made sure her panties were still secure in his pocket. She would just have to suffer the rest of her classes without underwear. Maria smirked and shrugged her shoulders. He stood there, his eyes wide as he watched her walk away, her hips sashaying seductively with the new freedom.
Thanks for all the lovely feedback! Sorry this took so long. If its any consolation, I think this chapter is a bit longer than the others.
This chapter has f/f slash. If it's not your thing, don't read.
CHAPTER 5
Tess stomped her foot and turned on their protector who was presently in the guise of Ed Harding. “I can’t believe I’m getting kicked out of my own house because of some stupid human!” She was so furious that she slammed the last box of her belongings down on the kitchen table, crossing her arms over her chest and eyeing him with a murderous glare.
“This was never your house. It was paid for out of the King’s accounts. Besides, that human is now a part of the Royal Family.” Ed visibly stiffened as she rolled her eyes. With a cold voice and eyes that lacked any warmth he cautioned her, “Stop it, Tess. It is traitorous to be disrespectful or bear any ill intentions towards any of the Royal Family, especially the King and his chosen.”
Tess glowered at him with a frown on her face. “I’m a part of the Royal Family as well. You were the one that told me so, or have you conveniently forgotten telling me that Max is my husband?”
Ed let out an exasperated sigh. “Tess, you are no longer a member of the Royal Family. I told you that in your past life you were married to King Zan. I am not responsible for your girlish notions that assumed that the moment Max saw you he would be swept off his feet.” He’d told her that it had been a marriage for political gain, but she insisted that Max would love her. “Everything has changed now, Tess. You must accept and abide by your King’s decisions.” Her face was frozen in a mask of fury, so he tried to reason with her in another way. “He has set you up in an apartment, and is willing to keep providing for you even though he has no obligation to do so. You should be thankful.”
Tess stomped her foot and whined, “But, he is suppose to love ME. It’s our destinies.”
Ed shook his head with derision. She was going to get herself killed or at the very least exiled if she kept speaking this way. “Tess, it will never happen. The King has marked his chosen with his Royal Seal. Their bond is stronger than anything you will ever have with him. Just accept it. He’s generously giving you the opportunity to still be Queen of Antar, but I will advise against it if you continue in this manner.”
“WHAT???!!” she screeched, filling the kitchen with her shrill voice.
Before Ed could answer her, the King and his consort rounded the corner from where they had been secretly listening to the heated argument. Maria kissed Max gently then walked out to the living room to give him a chance to speak privately with Tess. She had felt the rage building inside of him, and she definitely did not want to be in Tess’ shoes.
Max gestured for Ed to leave them as well. Once he was gone, Max grabbed Tess’ chin forcing her to look at him. “There will be dire consequences if you ever talk about my mate that way again. Understand?” Her nod was barely visible due to his strong grip. “You disappoint me, Tess. You have a very long way to go before I’d even consider you as an acquaintance much less Queen of Antar. I suggest you work on that.” His voice was calm, but its frostiness sent chills up her spine regardless. “Go now… before I forget my magnanimity.”
In the meantime, Maria and Ed were talking in the living room. “I am sorry for her behavior, Your Majesty.”
She smiled kindly although she felt a little uneasy with the title. “It’s not your fault. She’s in love with him.” Maria shrugged her shoulders as if to say she found it completely understandable. “Hopefully today will go a long way in helping her adjust to the reality of her situation. I’m sure Max is handling her just fine,” her voice was full of pride and confidence in her King.
Ed nodded in full agreement. “To confess, when I first arrived in town I wasn’t sure he’d ever be prepared to be King, but ever since he took you as his chosen he has exceeded all expectations.” Now if he could just convince Maria that she should be Queen.
“I can’t take any credit for that,” she said while ducking her head so he wouldn’t see the blush that had suffused her cheeks. “Accessing his past life memories benefited him greatly.”
“Whatever the case, he is a wonderful leader now and lucky to have you.”
Max walked back in the room at that moment and swept her into his arms. “You bet! I’m the luckiest man on Earth or any other planet.” Over Maria’s shoulder, he nodded his head towards Ed in gratitude. “Thank you. Your recent support means a great deal to me.”
Max placed a kiss on the top of Maria’s head and tucked her under his chin. When he looked at Ed again his face was hardened and impassible, his unyielding eyes almost black in color. “Tess will need to be watched carefully.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I will go and do just that,” he declared excusing himself to carry out his duties.
Knowing that their protector had the Tess situation under control, Max’s mood lightened considerably and he turned his attentions back to Maria. “I’m so sorry, baby. I should’ve taken care of that problem long ago.” He should have been more firm in his refusal when Tess first came to town, but at that time he had been floundering and had yet to find his strength, his love.
“No worries, love.” Her full lips swept across his tenderly. “Maybe you should go speak with Liz before Alex’s birthday party tonight. I don’t want to deal with another scene.” Besides, Izzy would kill Liz if she ruined her party for Alex.
“Okay, I’ll go do that now. Are you still helping Iz with her surprise present for Alex?”
“Of course, unless you wish I’d rather not.”
“No, you go ahead. Have fun. Michael and I will probably be up late discussing tactics anyway.” With a cheeky smile he whispered, “You can make it up to me in the morning.”
Maria caressed his face with the back of her hand declaring, “For you, anything.”
Max cradled her beautiful face in his hands and sealed his lips to hers in a gentle, lingering kiss that started to stir both their desires. Maria finally pulled away knowing that if they continued, her world would spin out of control and she’d easily lose herself in him. Unfortunately, they both had duties to attend to.
Max took a moment to compose himself, amazed at how quickly she could get him going. Sometimes all it took was a look. “Michael and Iz should be down in a few. Are you sure you don’t want me to stay?”
Maria shook her head slightly. “I’ll be fine. It’d probably be best to get the talk with Liz out of the way.” The sooner the better. She wanted Liz to have enough time to adjust to the new information before tonight. Plus, the sooner Max was back the more time they would have to themselves before the party.
“Okay. I’ll be back as quick as I can.” He placed a gentle kiss on her lips. “Love you.”
“I love you, too.”
~~~
Michael and Isabel appeared a few minutes after Max had left. They beckoned Maria to follow them upstairs, and when they reached the door to the middle bedroom Isabel told her to close her eyes.
As the door opened, Michael’s hands on her shoulders guided her forward. Isabel took her hand in hers and excitedly told Maria that she could open her eyes.
“Oh! It’s beautiful!” Low lighting gave the room a romantic golden glow. The main feature was a large, wrought iron canopy bed covered in crimson satin sheets with a sheer cream canopy. Her fingers trailed across the iron scroll at the foot of the bed while she studied the rest of the room. Murals of stone archways against a backdrop of the night sky covered the walls. It felt as if she were looking out from a balcony into a starry desert night.
They had decided that Michael would take the large first room closest to the staircase, and that her and Max would take the master suite at the end of the hallway. Although Maria would spend most of her time in the bedroom at the end of the hall, Max had wanted her to have her own space as well so he had given Michael and Iz the task of decorating the smaller middle bedroom for her.
She walked back to her friends. “I can’t believe you two did all of this! It’s amazing. Thank you.” Maria stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to Isabel’s, slipping her tongue inside her warm mouth when her lips parted. Isabel responded by quickly deepening the kiss and letting her tongue tangle with Maria’s. Isabel loved the adoration, but was even more pleased with the kiss. They parted gently and Maria moved to Michael murmuring a “thank you” against his lips before running the tip of her tongue along his full bottom lip. He swiftly captured her lips and stroked her tongue with his in a heated kiss.
~~~
“You’re going to be living with Tess?” Liz inquired.
“No, she’ll be living at Michael’s apartment.”
“With Michael?”
Max’s conversation with Liz was really beginning to annoy him. “No, Michael will be living with me at the house.”
“So, Maria will be living with Tess in Michael’s old apartment?”
He was beginning to think she was being purposefully obstinate. “No, she’ll also be living at the house.”
“Oh.”
“Look, Liz, there are some things you and I need to talk about. Let’s take a walk.” They strolled though the park, choosing one of the quieter paths to walk. “Liz, I need you to understand that I’ve found my destiny.”
That wasn’t any big surprise. “I know…Tess.”
“No, not Tess. Maria.” He really hoped she wouldn’t make a big fuss. Well, it wasn’t like they were together or anything. She was the one that pushed him in the direction of another woman. It just wasn’t the woman she thought it would be.
Her mind was spinning. MARIA?? DESTINY?? What the hell?! “What? She’s your… what?”
Max calmly explained, “She’s my mate, my significant other, my other half.”
Liz was fuming inside, but schooled her face to show nothing. “But, what about your destiny?” He was suppose to be with Tess.
“Tess and I were never married. Zan and Ava were married in another lifetime therefore Tess is not a Queen. Although, she wants to be.”
“But you’re still King?” If so, did he still need a Queen? She would be better qualified than someone like Maria.
“Our monarchy is hereditary so it’s literally in my blood. Ava had been chosen as Queen for political reasons.”
“So, your Queen is…” Max said Tess wanted to be, but that she wasn’t so that meant he was still looking. Unless Maria had taken the position. Damn! She would have to figure out how to change his mind. He would need someone special to fulfill that role, and she was sick and tired of being a small town waitress.
“No one right now. Maria doesn’t want the position, though for all intents and purposes she is my wife and future bearer of my heirs.” He saw a frown move across her face. “I know this isn’t what you expected. Tess still wants the chance of being Queen of Antar, but Maria thought you would make a good Queen.”
YES! Liz tried her hardest not to let a grin spread across her face. Instead she forced herself to look thoughtful. “You want me to consider being your Queen? We would be married?”
Max clarified, “Yes, in name only. We wouldn’t share a bed.”
That might change once they were married. She would be married to the ruler of an entire planet. “How will you decide?” Liz didn’t want to have to compete with Tess, but at least Tess wouldn’t be able to use sex to get her way.
Max refrained from rolling his eyes. She seemed a bit too eager. “There’s still plenty of time to decide, but I’m not really sure. I guess remaining friends with both Maria and I would be a step in the right direction.” His love would definitely appreciate that.
She could deal with that, at least until they were married. Then maybe she could find a way to replace or get rid of the other girl. “Max, I’d very much like to remain your friend as well as Maria’s.”
He smiled. “That’s great, Liz. Well, I guess Maria and I will see you later at Alex’s party.” Max took off quickly wanting to get home and spend some quality time with his love.
Liz stood there in the middle of the park a bit shell-shocked, letting their surreal conversation seep in as he walked off in a hurry.
~~~
The party had been a great success, and Isabel couldn’t have been happier about it. All that hard work had definitely paid off. But, now it was time for Alex’s special surprise present. She had butterflies in her stomach, but was more excited than anything else. “Are you ready for your last present?” she asked as they stood outside Maria’s bedroom door.
Alex looked at her strangely trying to figure out what she had planned. She was taking him into a bedroom, but they had discussed it earlier and he knew she wasn’t ready to have sex with him just yet. He kissed her forehead. “Sure,” he agreed, trusting her implicitly.
Maria turned around as Isabel opened her door. Her short, cotton-candy pink robe swished around her upper thighs as she walked towards them. She pulled Alex to a chair positioned by the head of the bed and told him to just sit back and watch.
Isabel stood a few feet away with a big smile on her face. She wanted to laugh at Alex’s look of confusion, but her thoughts quickly returned to the woman approaching her. They began to kiss, letting it start out slowly before passionately exploring each other’s mouths in blissful yearning.
The half-suppressed masculine groan from seemingly far away brought Isabel back to the reason they were here. Her hands dropped between them to pull on the sash holding Maria’s robe together. She untied it and gently pushed it off her shoulders, caressing and kissing the porcelain skin that was revealed. A gasp left Alex’s lips as the robe fell to the floor leaving Maria completely naked.
Maria circled Isabel, unzipping her dress and pushing it to the floor. Alex tried to get his breathing under control, but his girlfriend now stood in front of him wearing nothing but dark red satin bra and panties. Maria had to fight the urge to undress her completely, but held back out of respect of Isabel’s wishes. She wasn’t quite ready to be nude in front of Alex just yet, that would have to wait until she was ready to consummate their relationship, but she could give him this.
Isabel pulled Maria back into her arms in front of her, mating Maria’s bare back to her front. She watched Alex as he watched her hands mold Maria’s breasts, rolling her peaked nipples between her fingers. Knowing that he was watching them added greatly to Isabel’s excitement and the wetness between her legs increased.
Maria moaned at the contact of Isabel’s hands on her breasts, and arched her back. Her hands smoothed over the soft skin of Isabel’s arms as she moved to intertwine their hands. One hand joined Isabel in caressing her breast while the other moved their entangled hands down across her abdomen to the soft curls between her legs.
Listening to Maria’s needful whimpers, Isabel rubbed her clit while walking her towards the bed. She hoisted the smaller girl onto the bed then climbed up after her, positioning herself between Maria’s long trim legs. The golden sparkle of the anklet she had given Maria as a gift caught her eye and she brought Maria’s leg to her mouth kissing the soft skin around the gold chains. Spreading Maria’s legs, Isabel’s lips moved up the inside of her calf to her inner thigh brushing wet kisses along her skin until she reached the pinnacle.
Her tongue licked at Maria’s lower lips and then over her sensitive nub. There was a catch in her heavy breathing followed by a loud moan as Isabel’s tongue delved between her folds. Her tongue thrust deeper and deeper inside her silken walls.
Maria’s hands clenched the satin bed sheets at her sides as her hips rose up off the bed in time with the assault of Isabel’s hot mouth on her core and she cried out, “Yesssss… Isabel… please, more…”. Hot rushes of pleasure washed through her as Isabel continued to lick and suck, her teeth lightly scraping her clit.
Alex watched as every muscle in Maria’s firm body suddenly went still, frozen in time, then suddenly as if every cell in her body was coming back to life all at once, her hips jerked into the air and she screamed his girlfriend’s name. A pale pink glow surrounded them as Isabel sucked her clean.
Languidly, Isabel crawled up her body, her breasts pressing against Maria’s hardened nipples. She gently kissed her all over her face, whispering a soft “thank you”. Maria licked her lips triggering a moan from Isabel. She licked her own lips then plunged her tongue into Maria’s mouth, sharing her own intoxicating taste with her.
After a few minutes a fervent kissing, Isabel moved to lie beside her, still softly stroking her neck and chest. She looked over at Alex and watched him struggle to get his breathing under control. “He fantasizes a lot about you sucking his cock,” Isabel confessed to the smaller girl. She caressed her face, brushing her thumb across Maria’s full bottom lip. “Make his dreams come true.”
Alex was shocked that Isabel even knew about his fantasies though he should have figured with her dreamwalking capabilities, but he was even more astounded that she wanted to fulfill them. Already painfully hard, he continued to watch the two girls interact.
Maria took Isabel’s thumb into her mouth, lapping at it with her tongue, sucking on it rapaciously until she heard Isabel’s breathing quicken. She gently scraped the underside of Isabel’s thumb with her teeth as she let it slip from her mouth. Rolling off the bed, Maria stood in front of Alex completely nude, the sweet smell of release permeating from her body, and held her hand out to him.
He tentatively took her hand and let her pull him up out of the chair. Maria undressed him quickly, only pausing occasionally to place small kisses on the skin that was uncovered before pushing him back into the chair. His already hardened cock leapt as she spread his legs and knelt down between them.
Her tongue slid along the underside of his hard length from base to tip before she took him completely into her mouth. “Ohhhh, Maria…” Despite the fact that Isabel was the one who had told Maria to go down on him and that she had been the one moaning the small blonde’s name only moments ago, Alex was afraid he had offended Isabel by calling out another girl’s name. He looked over to the bed to see her reaction. Instead of the distress he had conjured up in his head, he found Isabel lying on her side watching Maria’s mouth intently with her hand underneath her red satin panties.
Taking deep breaths, Alex turned his eyes back to his own lap only to have to close them against the immense pleasure flowing through his body at seeing and feeling Maria’s lips surrounding his cock. It was truly a fantasy come true and he was sure it would stay with him forever. His hands tangled in her long blonde tresses.
Alex groaned as she sucked his cock in slow powerful strokes from base to tip. Stopping at the tip, she sucked just the head, her tongue gliding against the ridges as her hand fondled his balls. Maria moved her mouth back down the length of his shaft all the way to the hilt, grazing his sensitive skin lightly with her teeth.
It wasn’t going to take long since he had been so hard and on edge watching his girlfriend go down on another woman. He could feel his balls tighten and knew he was close. Not sure how to communicate that to Maria in case she didn’t want him coming in her mouth, Alex stumbled to find the words, “Maarrriiiaaaaa… I… I’m…” Finally, he heard Isabel’s raspy voice through the fog he was in, “Let go, Alex. Let her swallow your cum. She wants to.”
With a deep moan, he emptied his seed deep into her throat. She slowly, deliberately swallowed his cum as it filled her mouth. “Mmmmm. Alex, you taste so good.” Maria straightened up on her knees and captured his mouth with hers to share his flavor with him in a steamy kiss then she pulled him towards the bed lying down in between him and Isabel. Replete and exhausted all three fell into a light slumber.
Sometime later he woke to find the two most desirable women in his life straddling him, Maria in front and Isabel positioned behind her, and Maria’s small hands stroking his shaft. Not sure whether he was still dreaming or not, he chose to remain silent. His hands clenched the bed sheets on either side of him as she continued to pump his increasingly hard length.
Isabel looked over Maria’s shoulder for Alex’s consent. At the almost imperceptible nod of his head, Isabel lifted Maria’s hips and then pushed her down over the full length of Alex’s shaft. Alex and Maria both cried out at the pleasurable sensations of her wet heat surrounding his cock.
Realizing that no dream could ever be this good, he placed his hands on top of Isabel’s where she had a tight grip on Maria’s hips to control the rhythm. Isabel smiled at him and with their hands intertwined they increased the pace. “Ooooh, yes…Oh, god…Alexxxx” Maria moaned loudly as she felt him slide harder and deeper inside of her with each thrust.
Isabel watched the bliss move across his face and with her voice low and raspy from desire she asked him, “Do you like your birthday present?” She was pressed so tightly against Maria’s back that every time Maria moved, her backside rubbed against Isabel's clit.
Breathing heavily he responded, “Fuck! Yes…oh god, Isabel… This… is… the best… present… ever!” Through the haze of ecstasy he felt Isabel move one of his hands to Maria’s breast. For a moment they kneaded her breast together then Isabel slid her hand down to where Maria and Alex’s bodies were joined. Her thumb circled Maria’s clit as the rest of her fingers brushed against Alex’s groin.
Isabel was the first to feel herself spiral out of control from all the stimulation to her clit. Shuddering as her orgasm shot through her, she moaned loudly, arching her back and feeling her panties get soaked. Isabel sped up the rhythm guiding Maria up and down over Alex’s cock, her thumb circling her clit faster and harder.
Crying out loudly, Maria threw her head back on Isabel’s shoulder as tremors coursed through her body wildly. At the feel of Maria’s inner muscles clenching around him, Alex screamed her name as he came deep inside her. Struggling to get her breathing under control, Maria fell forward onto his chest, exhausted and thoroughly sated.
Isabel moved off him to lay by his side on the bed, gently bringing his lips to hers for a slow, lazy kiss. Isabel pulled back then leaned forward to capture Maria in a loving kiss. Then she watched as Alex and Maria shared their own passionate kiss. Maria began to move off of Alex, but he pulled her back down tighter to his body whispering, “Stay. Just for a while longer”. He didn’t want to lose the feeling of being inside of her just yet.
She nodded and rested her head against his chest once more. With Maria on top of him and Isabel cuddled up next to him, all three drifted off to sleep once again.
Hours later Maria awoke to desire once again building in her loins. She realized that Alex was hard again and still buried inside her as she felt the ever so slow rocking of his hips. Looking into his eyes, she instantly became wetter at the lust she saw burning in his hazel eyes. Alex whispered, “Please…”, hoping that she wouldn’t refuse. She nodded her head and he carried her into the adjoining bathroom so they wouldn’t wake the still soundly sleeping Isabel.
Alex placed her on the counter and nudged her legs apart, standing in between them. The lights were on and he watched the contraction and release of her back muscles through the vanity mirror as he once again penetrated her wet core. He liked the feeling of having control, of setting the pace as he drove into her. “Maria, you feel so damn good.”
He turned on the water faucet behind her, cupping water into his hand then dribbling it over her chest and sucking on her wet skin. Her skin was salty from the sweaty exertion of their earlier activities. He took her pert breast into the warmth of his mouth, sucking on her rosy nipple, grinning around it when it caused her to moan and speed up her thrusts. “Alex, harder…please…”
They worked their hips in rhythm quickly building towards their climax. One last thrust and as their pelvises collided they were both wracked with jolts of pleasure. They cried out each others names as they came together in a haze of blinding ecstasy.
Thanks for the feedback and bumping. First off, just a warning that this chapter contains a bit of S&M, and m/m slash. Don't read if it's not your thing. Secondly, I'm not sure what's happened with the Liz character in this fic. Somehow this plotless smut has gotten away from me, creating itself a tiny bit of a plot, and in turn sacrificing a generally good character. So, let's just say it's her evil twin or something.
I hope you enjoy anyways.

CHAPTER 6
“What are you doing here?”
“I think we can use each other’s help.”
“Help? Why would I need your help?” she asked with a voice full of contempt.
“Are you going to let me in or not?”
Curiosity got the better of her, and Tess opened the door to her apartment gesturing for her to enter. “C’mon in, Liz.”
~~~
Max saw the slight flutter of her eyes as she woke from a deep slumber. “Good morning, Love,” he whispered in her ear as his hands moved down her body, pulling her closer to him.
“Morning,” Maria muttered in reply, not yet fully awake. Though, his insistent hands exploring the contours of her body while he planted lingering kisses on her neck quickly stirred her into wakefulness. Stretching out along his chiseled body, she groaned at the tenderness in her enervated limbs.
“I didn’t hurt you last night, did I?” He nudged her shoulder, turning her so that he could see into her crystalline green eyes. “I’m sorry if I was too rough,” he said softly, scattering butterfly kisses over her eyelids, cheeks and mouth.
Maria shook her head. “No, I’m just a little sore. I quite like it when you’re dark and possessive.” Truthfully, she liked him any way she could get him, but there was something deliciously wicked about it when he lost control.
Max’s hands slid down the sides of her breasts to her hips, following her curves. “God, you’re beautiful,” he whispered thickly. His lips lightly kissed the discolored skin right below her collarbone, a result of last night’s frenzy. “Do you want me to heal it?”
“No. I like the reminder.” Every time her shirt brushed against the bruised flesh, she would feel like he was right there with her. “But, could you heal the bruises on my inner thighs?” Walking around funny all day was a whole other thing, if she could even stand after last night which she had yet to attempt this morning.
“Sure, babe. Would you do me a favor as well?” His hands cradled her face and brought her lips to his in needful bliss, his tongue dipping into the delicate recesses of her mouth.
“What’s that?” she asked distractedly after he’d released her from the kiss.
His lips brushed against her earlobe then down her neck. “Reconsider being Queen of Antar…”
“Max?” she asked, her voice small and uncertain.
He didn’t want to pressure her, but it was time to make some decisions. Brushing her silky blonde hair off her forehead, he told her, “The Skins on Earth are dead or dying thanks to Rath’s renegade Skins that took out the husks in Copper Summit, and through communications with our allies, the people of Antar know that we are alive. I received information last night that a great number of my people have laid siege to Khivar’s stronghold. We may be able to go back sooner than we thought, and you, my darling girl, are the only one that I really trust to take the throne with me.”
Maria shivered as his lips grazed across the curve of her breast, his dark brown hair brushing against her skin as he suckled her, making it difficult for her to respond. “I’m not sure, Max. It’s a lot of responsibility, and what happens if I start neglecting you because I’m planning some silly elaborate party. I don’t want that, you’re my first priority.”
Adoration and devotion filled him at her words. Max felt the same about her, no matter what happened in his life, she would always be his first concern. “I know, and I love you all the more for it. But, Nacedo said he’d make sure you had the best staff to help you out with all that stuff. Plus, we’d get to spend more time together.” Flicking out his tongue, he trailed a line of moist heat over her creamy satin skin from the sensitive flesh between her breasts to her bellybutton.
Her voice hitched as she tried to force out her reply. “Well, that would be a bonus. I… I’ll think about it, okay?” If he kept that up, she’d agree to anything.
“That’s all I ask, sweetheart,” he murmured against her skin as he delved between her thighs, placing healing kisses over her punished flesh.
~~~
“I’m not going to lie and tell you a bunch of crap about wanting to be your friend. But, we do both have the same goal in common right now and I was thinking we could help each other out. For now.”
Tess was shocked by Liz’s forthright demeanor, but she had a feeling that she was now seeing the real Liz. Still… “What makes you think that I need your help?”
“Because I’m their friend and I can get close to them whereas you are still considered an outsider,” she said spitefully.
“Well, if they love you so damn much, what do you need me for?”
“Simply put, you have powers. Look Tess, I propose we work together to get her out of the picture, then it’s to each her own in the pursuit to take her place and become Queen.” Besides, she could work this to her favor, killing two birds with one stone if Max thought Tess was at fault for Maria’s ruin.
Tired of her uppity attitude, but seeing the value in teaming up, Tess replied, “Fine! What did you have in mind?”
“Well, I’ve seen the way Michael looks at Maria when we’re at work, and he’d be easy to manipulate into taking her to bed. Then we set it up so that Max walks in on them.”
“Won’t work,” Tess stated haughtily, glad that she knew more than Liz for once.
“Why?”
“Because they probably already are sleeping together.”
“And Max is okay with that?” Liz asked incredulously.
“She has the Royal Seal,” Tess said as if that explained it all.
“What does that have to do with anything, Tess?”
“It means she’s bonded to the other members of the Royal Family, and that bond strengthens through sexual union. With the Queen’s consent and the King’s permission, other members are granted the special privilege of joining with his Queen, honoring her. Permission is only given to those with the Royal Seal and their mates. So, most likely not only has she already had sex with Michael, but probably with Isabel as well.”
“What about you? Don’t you have the Royal Seal from being Queen in your past life?”
Begrudgingly Tess answered, “Not every Queen of Antar is necessarily marked with the Royal Seal.” In her memories as Ava, she remembered how upset she was when one of Zan’s many consorts had callously told her all about it, making her feel like she was unfit to be Queen. She didn’t find out until later that it was actually very rare for a King to bestow the Seal to someone not connected by blood, but if he did it meant that a true union was formed.
“Hmmm.” So the Seal would insure her as the rightful Queen. That Seal should’ve been hers in the first place. “What if she had sex with someone outside of the Royals?”
“She’s completely loyal to her King, their bond is too strong. It would never happen, Liz.”
“Not willingly,” she muttered with a glint of malice in her dark brown eyes. “Hypothetically, Tess, what would happen if she did?”
Tess smirked, she didn’t think the nerd had it in her. “She would feel overwhelmingly ashamed at having soiled the bond, and most likely distance herself away from the others.”
Liz smiled. “She’d probably need lots of moral support from a good friend, wouldn’t you say?” And she would be there to help her through it. It’d be the perfect way to get her alone so that Tess could take care of her. Then she’d run to Max and tell him what Tess did, and she’d be the best choice left for him. “What about Kyle? I’ve seen the two of you go out a couple of times, and he was always so acquiescent to my wishes when we were dating. How well do you have him wrapped around your little finger?”
Unfortunately, not as well as she wanted. “No, he’s too decent to do something like that. I do know a couple of his football buddies who with a little encouragement would jump at the chance.” This little plan of Liz’s might actually work. And in the long run it wouldn’t take hardly any effort for her to get rid of little Lizzie Parker once she was no longer of any use. “We’ll have to keep the others busy.”
“That’s fine. I’ll take Max. I’ll cry on his shoulder about missing my Grandma Claudia.”
“Okay, I guess I can take care of Michael.”
“What are you going to do to keep him busy?” She didn’t want her plan screwed up due to lack of planning on Tess’ part.
“I’ll drag him into the Eraser room and seduce him,” Tess said confidently.
Interested in their past lives, Liz asked, “As Ava, did you ever do it with Rath?”
The roguish cousins, Zan and Rath, had shared many consorts, but, despite her many attempts, she was never one of them. Not that she was going to reveal that to Liz. “Zan was more than enough for me,” Tess answered smugly and then immediately changed the subject.
~~~
Maria walked to the bedroom at the far end of the hallway and plopped down on her and Max’s bed. Today had been a really strange day, and not one she ever wanted to repeat. Two jocks had tried to muscle her into going with them under the bleachers, and she’d had to knee them both in the balls to stop their attempt as they grabbed at her. She’d given one of them a nice shiner with her elbow, and the other was going to have a couple of bruised ribs for awhile. Which reminded her, she needed to remember to thank Nacedo for giving her those self-defense lessons.
She laid her head down on the pillow for a short nap, brooding about the two jerks from that afternoon, wondering why they’d been so determined to get her in particular. What had she ever done to them? Guys were such pigs! Well, except for her guys, but even they had been acting strange on the ride home, soundly reigning in their emotions. She drifted off to sleep figuring they were worried about alien matters.
~~~
They walked into the bedroom quietly, Max in the direction of the couch on the far side of the room and Michael to the bed. Michael sat down on the bed gently and removed the sheet covering her tiny body, silently approving of her nakedness. Nuzzling at her neck he thought about how innocent and youthful she looked while sleeping, then her eyes fluttered open and he was hit with the contradicting feverish, wild glint in her eyes. He smirked devilishly and covered her mouth with his, pushing his tongue between her lips. Tenderly brushing her long blonde hair from her face, he deepened the kiss only pulling back when air became necessary.
“What’s my job, Maria?”
That was easy. Weird question, but an easy one. “General of the King’s armies. Second in Command to His Majesty.”
“What’s my other very important job?” he asked pointedly looking at her.
Oops. She could feel Max in the room with them but didn’t dare look for him, she had a feeling she knew what this was about. “Umm, my bodyguard?”
“Yes, and do you want to explain to me why you hindered me from doing my job today?” He had felt her surge of adrenaline, but she had never called him for help and he had been busy fending off an overly eager Tess at the time. When they finally found out what happened both men were at once upset, and had spent the rest of the afternoon taking care of the situation as well as informing Nacedo of Tess’ possible involvement.
Maria wanted to say no, but she didn’t think that would go over too well. “It wasn’t anything, really. Just a couple of jerks, and I easily took care of them. I didn’t call because it was under control, and I didn’t want to disturb you for something unnecessary. How did you find out anyway?” she asked indignantly, her fiery spirit showing.
“They were trying to recruit more guys so that the next time you would have no chance of escaping. Kyle overheard them, and luckily informed me and Max. We have a great deal to thank him for.”
Damn! How was she supposed to know? It wasn’t her fault that those guys had pea-sized brains that obviously didn’t follow any kind of sound judgment. She bent her head, she hadn’t meant to displease either of them and she let her guilt about it flow through their connection.
“Don’t worry about it, babygirl. You’ll know better for next time.” The warmth of his breath tickled her ear as he whispered, “Nice job, by the way.” Michael had been impressed with the extent of the injuries the two jocks had from their run in with her. Although he’d been upset that she had not called him immediately to take care of the situation, it gave him slight peace of mind knowing that to a certain extent she could take care of herself.
She felt Max’s reassurances through their bond as well and smiled gratefully at both of them.
Michael grinned. “Of course, you will need to be punished,” he said, his deep voice low and gravelly.
“Really?” Anticipation swept through her like a fire. She knew it would be harsh and fierce, but she also knew that by the end she would feel pleasure beyond her wildest dreams.
Michael chuckled at her enthusiasm. “Really. C’mon, up you go,” he said lifting her up off the bed and lowering her feet to the floor.
Radiant and utterly compliant, she rose off the bed and followed him across the room stopping only when he told her to. They were facing the sofa where Max calmly sat, only a couple of meters away from her. Michael turned her to the side, so that Max only had to slightly shift positions to see either her front or back.
Kneeling before her and gathering the chains that were hooked into the floor, Michael pulled her feet apart and fastened the leather cuffs around her delicate ankles. Then he stood back up taking her wrists in his large hands and lifting her, drawing her hands high above her head so that he held them firmly as he cuffed them to leather straps hanging from the ceiling.
She luxuriated in the bonds, stretched up on the balls of her feet, her calf muscles straining enticingly, agonizingly aware of the beginning pool of moisture between her thighs. Her nipples were already jutting out at the sheer thrill of excitement of what was about to happen, nonetheless Michael lowered his head lapping at the silky flesh of her breasts, playfully nipping at them until her nipples were as hard as little rocks.
Pulling back with a wicked grin on his face, Michael placed a small kiss on her nose as his hands attached gold clamps to her hardened little peaks, a dangling gold chain connecting them. His hand swept across the luscious curve of her hip, brushing against the Seal and sending sparks of heat through her body, coming to a stop as he reached between her legs where he slid his fingers into the slickness between her lips and rubbed his thumb over her sensitive nub until it was quivering. Blissful sensations flooded her core as he attached another little gold clamp to her hardened clit.
“Mmm… General…” she moaned. Whenever he was controlling like this she immediately thought of him as the General, strong and powerful, commanding and domineering.
“Head down and no speaking. Don’t cum until you’re told to,” Michael ordered as he spanked her breasts hard until she cried out, feeling the sting of his calloused hands on her hardened nipples.
Her emotions churned in a flutter of pain and pleasure with an edge of excitement and exhilaration. A deep, rough sound of approval swept the room, and she reveled in it, feeling the intense heat of her King’s gaze without ever looking up.
Michael gathered several items from a trunk at the end of the bed, each to be used briefly but thoroughly, and displayed them to the King for his selection of which was to be used first. In his hands he held a paddle, a broad leather strap, and a cat-o’-nine-tails. Max nodded his approval of the one in his left hand and Michael held onto the strap discarding the rest. Wrapping a length of it around his hand for better control, he walked behind her.
The wide, thick leather belt struck her backside, and she moaned, her hips twisting in spite of herself, her body instantaneously undulating in response to the strap. Each strike made her wetter and hotter, her skin stinging under its violent slap. Licking between her legs, the leather strap scraped along the clamp on her clit causing her to gasp brokenly. The flesh of her back, the back of her thighs, even her calves blazed under the strap in hot explosions of pain and titillation as it made contact with her bare skin.
It took her a moment to realize that he’d stopped, but just when she was struggling to get her breathing settled, she felt the first crack of the paddle across her backside, the force lifting her forward and up onto the very tip of her toes. The loud sound startled her, it was intimidating, sounding as if it were more awful than the throbbing it inflicted. Lost in the sound, the heat and sweet pain, Maria felt true abandon and unadulterated freedom. Unable to contain it, Maria cried out in gorgeous distress, her face flushed and her jade-green eyes shimmering with tears. “Agghhhhhh, please... Ohhhhhh, god, PLEASE!” She wasn’t sure what she was begging for, but all that broke through her daze was Max’s deep voice inside of her head telling her, “Shh, baby. Not just yet, but I promise, if you’re a good girl, it will all be worth it.”
By the time Michael moved on to the cat-o’-nine-tails, she was coated in a sheen of sweat, muscles straining, and various little marks, welts and scrapes coloring her flesh. He whipped her lustily until her little body was writhing uncontrollably beneath the thong making her rise further on the balls of her feet, struggling to stay in place. The craving between her thighs was overwhelming as the whip licked at her nipples, the chain pulling heavily at the clamps every time it was touched in the slightest. Her needy, longing moans implored him to appease the ache she felt for him.
Finally, Michael put away the accoutrements and released her, his hands stroking her reddened flesh then pushing her down lightly. With deliberate grace, she obediently knelt to the floor and crawled to her King. His gaze moved possessively over her body as she moved towards him, the dark pink marks on her youthful flesh standing out in stark contrast on her milky-white skin.
Max flung her over his lap as soon as she was in reach. His hand brushed over her raw skin as softly as the wings of a butterfly, his cool skin a salve to her abraded flesh, and she felt the moisture increase between her legs at his gentleness. “Will you be a good girl from now on and remember to let Michael do his job?” he asked, cupping her tear stained cheek in his large hand.
She nodded passionately, biting her lip, unable to form any words, and was rewarded as his hand moved between her legs and released the clamp, eliciting a long moan as sparks seared along every nerve ending from her fingertips to her toes in dizzying pleasure. Her nipples were the next to be liberated, and she couldn’t help the trembling of her body.
Without warning, Max stood up with her wrapped around his body and pushed her hard up against the wall, burying himself inside her in one swift stroke, growling “Mine!” over and over again. The roughness of the wall rubbed against her raw flesh, and Maria struggled to breathe as lightning bolts ran down her spine in mingled pain and pleasure.
“Cum for me, Maria…” With his chest heaving and his hands bracing them against the wall, Max moved hard and fast, panting breathlessly as her deliciously tight sex clamped around his cock as she found her first release. Her nails drew blood as they clenched at his slick shoulders, and she shouted in exultation feeling the fiery bursts rock her body as she came apart in his arms.
His mouth came down on hers, kissing her fiercely, swallowing her screams as their tongues claimed each other in an elixir of satin bliss while Max continued pounding steadily inside her soaked passage, his passion coiling tighter and tighter until his body lurched into hers climaxing hard and taking her once again over the edge with him in searing intensity.
~~~
“Your friends are idiots, Tess. God, now she’s like Queen of the school!” Liz shouted as she burst into Tess’ apartment. The week had been miserable, having to act like she didn’t mind seeing them together when all she really wanted to do was tear Max out of Maria’s arms.
Tess concealed her shock at Liz’s hasty entry and nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. At least they’d tried. Persistence was the key, and if Liz gave up now then it was her loss. “So what now, Liz?”
Liz flopped down on the couch, her hands covering the frustrated redness in her face. “I don’t know. I need some time to think.”
Rubbing the petite brunette’s shoulder, she relayed the bad news. “You better think fast. Turns out that we might be going back to our planet sooner than we thought. Neither one of us will have a chance in hell of getting through her many bodyguards once she’s on Antar.”
“Shit!” she exclaimed in annoyance as irritation bristled through her body.
“It’ll be okay, Liz. We’re not going today, we still have time. Here let me help…” Tess sat behind Liz, rubbing her shoulders, loosening the tense muscles.
Liz took a deep breath, but didn’t pull away from the other girl’s ministrations. “Okay, tell me about your powers, especially mind control.”
Neither of the girls noticed as a shadow parted from the wall and slipped out the back door.
~~~
Michael and Kyle were engrossed in the football game on the big screen TV as Maria entered the room, but as soon as Michael caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye all of his attention was focused on her. He beckoned her over to where he was sitting on the couch.
Kyle watched from the other couch at a right angle from where Michael sat, and gulped hard as Michael pulled Maria down to whisper in her ear making her short robe rise and giving him a great view of her firm ass. Shifting in his seat, he tried to suppress the disappointment as she left the room, however minutes later she was back and his chest constricted as he saw what she was handing to Michael. Unsure of what was going on, Kyle tried to pay attention to the TV only to give up any pretense when she was pulled down on to Michael’s lap, her robe discarded along the way.
Michael cradled her sideways in his arms, facing Kyle, her long legs resting lengthways along the sofa. “Spread your legs, beautiful girl,” his hoarse voice demanded.
Blushing at the thought of Kyle watching her, Maria parted her legs, hooking one over the back of the sofa and bending the other so that her toes rested on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Moisture trickled down the inside of her thighs, the exposure making her feel vulnerable, yet there was still a sense of power in that submission as she heard the breathing of both men quicken.
Michael brought her hand up to his lips, kissing her palm gently. “Put your hand between your legs and spread yourself for Kyle.”
His cock throbbed and his heart raced at Michael’s words. Kyle gaped transfixed at his perfect view of her slender fingers gently sliding through her golden curls, prying her lips apart and stretching herself wide for his examination. His senses reeled and his eyes locked with Michael’s as the black leather phallus he held in his hand came into view.
Juices exploded inside her as she felt the hard leather slide into her, grinding against her clit. It filled her completely, eliciting a loud moan from her silky pink lips. “Ooooh, yesss...”
Michael pushed and pulled it in and out of her sending her into a frenzy of ecstasy, her hips shamelessly jerking into the air, driving it in deeper. Silently begging for more, Maria writhed in his lap as he thrust the hard length back and forth mercilessly.
Kyle’s eyes moved hungrily over her shimmering body, he could smell her soaking wet canal, making his mouth water.
The tension in her body twisted, curling in on itself, until the heavens opened up and she was spiraling in a series of mind-numbing explosions. The long, delicate muscles of her thighs twitched as the phallus was removed from her slick passage.
Kyle stared as her cum-drenched lips convulsed at the void that moments before had been filled. His erection was swollen and pressing uncomfortably against the constriction of his jeans, and he wanted so badly to fill that void for her, to let those plump lower lips have something to clench around as she came. The mere sight just about destroyed him, then suddenly her legs were closing and she was being lifted off the couch. He wanted to scream at Michael to put her back down, but instead watched helplessly as the larger man strode to the staircase with her beautiful body in his arms.
As they reached the top of the stairs, Michael called back. “You coming, Kyle?”
Almost tripping over himself, Kyle ran up the stairs and found them in the first bedroom off the hallway. They were wrapped in each others arms, both naked and kissing voraciously. He moved up behind Maria and pressed his body fully against her back, sweeping her golden tresses to the side to lave her neck with hot kisses.
Maria turned to help Kyle remove his clothes, smoothing her hands down the ridged hardness of his abdomen. She pulled his lips to hers, her tongue darting in and out of his mouth in a suggestive reminder of what he’d witnessed downstairs.
As the last of Kyle’s clothes were thrown to the side, Michael looked at him over Maria’s shoulder and asked, “Front or back?”
“Back?” It took him a moment to comprehend the question, but when he did his eyes opened wide, his pupils dilating with amazement. “I’ve never… from the back… I mean…” Not that he had a lot of sexual experience, but most of the girls he dated were strictly ‘missionary’.
Michael cut off his stuttering before he made a bigger fool of himself. “First time for everything, Valenti. Guess tonight is your lucky night.” A rakish smile played at his lips. “Tell him how you like it, babe.”
Her breasts rubbed against Kyle’s chest as Michael sandwiched her in between them. “I like it rough. Really rough.” She nibbled at his earlobe and whispered, “Fuck me hard, Kyle. Make me scream.”
Michael turned her around and swept her backwards until they fell onto the bed together. She straddled his thighs, her small hands holding him as she slowly lowered herself down his smooth, steely shaft straight to the hilt. “Fuck, Maria…” They rocked together in slow, sensuous movements, both moaning at the heat and friction. “Ohhhh, Michael… that feels so good…”
The bed dipped as Kyle climbed up on the bed behind Maria. Michael thrust a tube of lubricant into his hands, and Kyle spread it over his already over-stimulated shaft. In compliance with her request, he wasn’t gentle as he spread her cheeks with one hand, and with the other speared her with his slick digits causing her to whimper. “Ahhhh… Kyle, please… more…”
“God, Maria, you have a great ass!” In one swift stroke he penetrated, and after only a couple of thrusts, the intense tightness around his rock hard length and her scream sent him over the edge he’d been teetering on since the earlier show. He was slightly embarrassed, but a few minutes of her pumping his shaft as she bounced up and down on Michael’s cock had him hard again. Making up for his early ejaculation, he rammed his now rigid shaft into her so hard that his balls slapped the back of her thighs causing her to scream his name. “KYLE!!!! Oh, gaaahhhh… YES!!”
Holding on tightly to her hips, he slammed into her again and again, fucking her from behind while she rode Michael’s thick shaft. They quickly found a maddening rhythm driven by Kyle, and as he thrust into Maria it pushed her further down on Michael as his hips rose to meet her thrusts.
With his pulse hammering, Michael swept the loose tendrils of her golden hair behind her ear and claimed her soft, succulent mouth. Their tongues tangled feverishly as he felt his climax approaching. “Mmmm, Maria… Yes! Oh, babygirl, right there…” His hands smoothed over her breasts, his thumb and finger briefly tugging at her nipples, then stroking down to the flowing heat between her legs where his thumb circled her clit in order to bring her with him.
It was amazing how full she felt, weakened by their sheer size in her small body and her first orgasm, but her skin was still humming as they continued rocking her with their thrusts. Their hands and fingers were everywhere, she felt like there wasn’t an inch of her flesh that had gone untouched. Violent shudders wracked her body as her second orgasm rippled through her, making her toes curl. Struggling to breathe as heat raced along every nerve ending, she cried out unable to form any coherent words.
Kyle was proud of making it through her first shattering climax, but as she came apart between them again, her muscles fluttering uncontrollably around both of their cocks, he willingly relinquished the battle and surrendered to the sweet release. He felt Michael let loose at the same time, and he stilled within her letting the fireworks explode through his body as he came. “Maria… Holy Shit!!! Uggghhhhh!!!!”
All three slumped to the bed, collapsing languorously in a tangle of limbs, aftershocks of pleasure still jolting through them. Hands and mouths were all mixed up in their exhausted explorations of each other, but at the moment Kyle couldn’t care less who he was kissing or feeling as long as they didn’t go away.

Hours later Kyle woke to find Maria missing and Michael’s larger body pressed up tight against his back. He wasn’t sure how to feel about this new situation, but decided it would be okay to just enjoy the feel of the hard, sculpted body behind him for a moment. He figured that as soon as the larger man woke he would move further away and they could laugh it off as sleep-induced, so he was stunned when Michael’s large hand that’d been resting on his stomach lowered to encircle his hardening cock.
“Oh… god…” Kyle whispered throatily, scared to make too much noise in case Michael was still asleep.
“You like that?” A gruff voice asked close to his ear, the warmth of his breath sending shivers down Kyle’s spine.
He definitely wasn’t asleep. Kyle answered with a moan and thrust his hips forward, hungry for more.
Michael caressed him from base to tip. “Do you want me to fuck you?” he asked while nipping at his neck.
“No!” Kyle yelped quickly.
Michael’s fingers stilled at the base of his shaft, but still held him in a firm grip. “Are you sure?”
“No… Yes… Oh, crap, I don’t know… Please, just don’t stop… don’t stop…” Kyle’s breathing was ragged, sawing in and out of his lungs.
Michael rubbed his thumb over the glistening wetness that appeared at his tip, smoothing it over the head of Kyle’s cock. “I’ll ask again for the last time. Do you want me to fuck you?”
Kyle’s mind was screaming ‘No!’, but that wasn’t what came out of his mouth. His voice cracked as he hissed, “Yeessss…”
“Beg me for it,” Michael demanded, shafting him in slow torturous movements.
“Please! Oh, god… I… I want… I need you inside me. Please!!!”
Michael sat up in the bed and commanded the young man, “Get on your hands and knees.”
Kyle complied, his arms and legs trembling in fear, excitement and anticipation.
Moving Kyle’s legs apart Michael inserted his two lubricated fingers into the smaller man’s body.
“Oh, shit!” Kyle breathed out, his whole body taut and unyielding.
Michael withdrew his fingers then thrust them in again inside his tight opening, adding another and twisting the digits until his muscles adjusted around the fullness. Hungry for the power, but mindful that this was Kyle’s first time, he inched his cock into him. Kyle cried out, his body tensing, and Michael demanded, “Just relax!”
Although oblivious to his submission, Kyle did so at once and was rewarded when Michael’s large hand wrapped around his hip to grip his rigid erection. He was so surprised that he bucked back causing himself to be further impaled on Michael’s pulsating length. Through a fog of pleasure, he heard Michael’s voice tell him, “That’s it – nice and deep. Take all of me in.”
“Oh… Fuck! Michael!!!” Kyle groaned in wild abandon.
Foregoing any niceties now that he was fully sheathed so deeply, Michael’s thrusts grew faster and rougher, one hand tugging at the other man’s sandy blonde hair while his other hand pumped swiftly up and down his throbbing flesh.
Shuddering heavily and arching his back, Kyle closed his eyes. Crushing waves of pleasure engulfed him, his muscles convulsing against the larger man’s thick shaft as his warm seed spurted across his own stomach and chest.
A great primal moan escaped Michael’s lips as he felt Kyle’s opening clench around him, and he came hard in a hot explosion of mindless ecstasy. Through labored breathing, he collapsed on top of Kyle pushing them both down to the bed, his deep masculine voice softly whispering his praise, “Very… Good…”
Kyle woke up late the next day to find himself all alone in Michael’s bed feeling inexplicably sad that the larger man wasn’t there with him, but not willing to delve in to the reasons why he felt that way, instead Kyle focused on looking around the large spacious room. His breath caught in his throat when his gaze met golden whiskey eyes staring intently at him from across the room. Kyle cleared his throat and looked away embarrassedly muttering a barely audible, “morning”. A bit nervous and not really sure how he felt about the night before, he stood to gather his clothes and get out of there as quickly as possible.
“Kyle, come here.” Michael demanded from where he sat behind his desk. He’d been working on his plans for Copper Summit most of the morning while he waited, allowing the young man to get some much needed rest and regain his energy. As Kyle started walking towards him, Michael told him, “On your hands and knees.”
Without a second thought, Kyle dropped to his knees and crawled across the room stopping in front of Michael’s chair, every moment agonizingly aware of his own nakedness.
Michael untied his robe and flung it open, and spread his legs apart pulling Kyle closer to him. “Now, open that sweet little mouth of yours.” His large hand curled around the back of Kyle’s neck and pulled his hot mouth down over his hardening shaft. “That’s it! Yeesssss, suck me hard, make me cum!” Michael commanded throatily with a groan, his head lolling against the back of the chair.
He drove his cock deeper down his throat, forcing him to take more of his steely muscle in, fucking Kyle’s mouth with each thrust. As Kyle’s mouth slid frantically up and down his hard shaft, Michael groaned, his face flushed and his breathing hot and ragged.
“Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
Max’s surprised voice momentarily yanked Michael from the sensual haze that had enveloped him and he responded, “No, its okay. Stay. Kyle’s just learning his morning duties.”
Max took a seat in a chair on the other side of the desk and watched as Michael erupted into Kyle’s waiting mouth.
Shuddering heavily from release, Michael pulled Kyle up and swept his tongue against his lips. In a voice hoarse from spent desire, he implored Kyle, “Go show your King what that delicious mouth of yours can do.” At Kyle’s slight hesitation, Michael pushed him down onto his hands and knees and spanked him hard. “Do it. Now!”
Fueled by the desire to please Michael, Kyle crawled to where Max sat and to make up for his earlier disrespect made a show of untying Max’s robe with his teeth, nudging the material to the side as he grazed his lips against the King’s smooth skin.
“Wait just a moment, Kyle.” Max called to Maria through their bond and moments later she appeared in the doorway. “There’s my girl.” He pulled a naked Maria onto his lap and spread her legs so that they hooked over either side of his. He told Kyle, “Pleasure your Queen first, and once your mouth is coated with her sweet nectar then you can service me.”
Kyle sucked in a heavy breath and licked his lips. Both sexes were being presented to him, a gift of male and female flesh calling to him in the language of desire and hunger. He smiled and eagerly buried his head between her spread legs, his hot cheek rubbing against Max’s erection and his tongue dipping between Maria’s folds. Tasting her honeyed juices for the first time, a low moan rose from his chest, partly from gratification, partly from consuming need.
Maria drew in a shuddering breath and laid her head back against Max’s shoulders while Kyle’s tongue drove deep into her sex.
Resting his cheek against hers, Max reached for her breast and stroked the nipple to full hardness. His large, gentle hands touched her all over, savoring every inch of creamy satin skin as he nuzzled her neck. Maria turned her head and their mouths met in a fiery kiss.
Kyle plunged his tongue into the deepest recesses of her core, in and out, in and out, then sucked her throbbing nub savagely.
“Oh, Kyle, more… Uggghhhh… Yes! YES! YEESSSS! KYLE!!!” With a shudder, she came, bucking her hips as Kyle continued feasting on, licking, and kissing her clit and nether lips.
Kyle moved back slightly and with his mouth and throat still slick with her silken fluid, he engulfed Max’s hard cock.
A deep throated moan of pleasure rumbled from Max’s chest and both of his hands cupped Maria’s pert breasts, kneading and caressing the sensitive flesh and playing with her erect rosy nipples.
Max sucked in a breath as Kyle’s assault became more fierce and demanding. When he felt his body tightening for release, he pushed Kyle off him and instructed him to go back to his Master. Not really cognizant of his automatic actions, Kyle crawled back to Michael’s side, dazed at being denied.
Max lifted Maria’s hips and thrust himself up into her heated core while at the same time pulling her down on him. “Ughh, Max… Aahhh… Damn…” Her fingers intertwined with his as they gripped the arms of the chair, and her legs tightened around his outer thighs while clenching and unclenching her inner muscles as he moved inside her in deep, long strokes with easy strength.
Max murmured into her ear, “Ohhh, babe… that… that feels so good… oh, yeah…”
Across the way, Michael kept his eyes on the couple in front of him, but directed his instructions to Kyle who was kneeling by his side though slightly in front of him, “Take yourself in hand and show me how much watching them turns you on.”
Kyle’s hands traveled down his body as his deep blue eyes stared at where the two bodies joined sliding against one another, Maria’s soft, wet mound proudly displayed to both he and Michael as Max’s cock penetrated her core again and again. They looked so good together, such grace and fluidity in their motions, and they tasted even better, he reminded himself as he licked his lips, savoring the taste of both of them.
Taking a moment to glance at Michael out of the corner of his eye, Kyle’s pulsating cock surged and he gulped at the intensity of the gaze that was no longer directed at the couple across the desk but instead was hungrily watching the progress of his hand.
Michael could see how close Kyle was to release and leaned forward to tug at his arm. “Get up and come stand in front of me.”
Absorbed in his internal rant of being so close and denied again, Kyle almost blacked out when a hot, wet mouth engulfed his aching cock. “Fuck!!! Gaaaawwwww…”
Michael’s mouth worked his hot, hard flesh efficiently with fast sucks that swallowed him all the way to the hilt.
Kyle was so ready for release and wanted it badly, but for some unknown reason his body stayed on the edge. The cries of the other couple’s climax could be heard in the distance and it only intensified his own need.
“I want to taste you, Kyle.”
At hearing those words, Kyle knew that Michael’s permission to cum was what had been missing, and it didn’t take long for him to readily spill his seed under the continuation of the larger man’s powerful sucking.
~~~
Max held Maria close to his side as they walked towards the outside picnic table where the rest of the gang sat eating their lunches. As they neared, Michael scooted over to make room for them. Maria gave a general, cheery “Hi!” to everyone as she sat down between Max and Michael. Everyone returned her greeting before launching into conversations about earlier classes.
Sitting across from Michael, Kyle was arguing with him over the merits of never attending class or sacrificing oneself as a vessel for knowledge. Michael was about to make a lewd comment about what Kyle would be sacrificing himself for later when they were alone, but he was unfortunately interrupted by Parker pulling a chair up at the end of their table.
Michael had strategically chosen the table because it was just big enough for the six of them and butted up against a brick wall. He made sure that Max and Maria sat between him and the wall and that Isabel, next to Alex, sat directly across the table from Max so that the King and Queen were well guarded which meant that Liz was now sitting closest to him and Kyle. After the things he and Max had learned from Nacedo the night before he was tempted to forcibly remove her, but a quick nod from Max had him clenching his jaw.
“Hi Max!” Liz called out sweetly. She liked being at the head of the table, the only thing better would be if Max was at the other end.
Max absentmindedly nodded in return, his attention was elsewhere as his fingers rubbed against the top of Maria’s thigh.
Maria yelped and jumped slightly as Max’s hand moved up her leg further than she was expecting. As the rest of the table turned to look at her she blushed and pointed at Max. “His fault,” she declared, her cheeks reddening even more when she realized that they now could probably guess at what he’d been doing.
Max just grinned, she was adorable with pink coloring her cheeks. Since he already had the group’s attention, he announced, “I don’t want to say too much here at school, but things have been going really well for us and I want you all to start thinking about going home.” His emphasis on the word ‘home’ clued everyone in that he was talking about Antar. “Let’s have a meeting, say at eight tonight to go over all the details.”
A nudge from Maria got his attention and he turned to see her bottom lip out in a cute pout. Those lips… He caught himself before he got sidetracked and asked her, “Nine?” She smiled and gave him a quick kiss that swiftly turned heated when he pulled her closer, his tongue stroking her luscious, bee-stung lips. Pulling back when air became an issue, Max cleared his throat and told the others, “Okay, let’s make that meeting at nine o’clock instead. Someone needs to inform Tess as well.”
Liz ducked her head and cringed at the way Max catered to Maria’s every whim. It was so unfair! That would have to change, and now to her delight it might be sooner than she thought. When she looked up, she found the rest of the table staring at her. “What?” she asked more defensively than she’d intended.
“We were trying to decide who would let Tess know about the meeting,” Isabel informed her.
Liz’s eyes darted to Max then back to Isabel. “Um, Tess? I hardly know the girl. Isabel, you’re her best friend, shouldn’t you do it?!”
Isabel straightened her back and gripped Alex’s hand. “I just thought it would be more convenient, Liz, for you to deliver the message since she’s in your next class.”
“Oh yeah…” She chuckled self-consciously, “Yeah, um, like I said I never talk to her so I forgot she was even in that class. Sure, I can tell her if Max wants me to.” Liz sighed with relief. For a moment there she thought her and Tess had been seen together.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's the banner I made for this story. Hope you like it.
CHAPTER 8
Max, his stance regal and magnificent, stood in front of the group with Maria elegantly poised by his side and called the meeting to order. “For those of you who don’t already know, a week ago our rebel forces swept through Copper Summit incapacitating the Skin contingent living there while at the same time underground forces loyal to me raided the castle on Antar. After a long siege, Khivar was captured, and he is currently being held until we arrive to witness his execution for crimes against the people and their rightful rulers.” He glanced at everyone in the room, taking in their varying reactions. “We will be leaving three days from now in the early morning hours of Friday. Maria and Michael will of course be coming with me. I want the rest of you to think long and hard about whether you will be coming with us or not. As of now, there is no safe means of transport back and forth between our planets. We hope to remedy that soon, but please don’t count on that when making your decision. I know you all need time to think it over, but we will need your answers soon so that we know what provisions to take with us for the journey. Any questions?”
Everyone shook their heads, and Max and Maria stood watching the shifting emotions on the others faces as they broke up into small groups to talk.
Before Max had even had the chance to ask Michael to go with him in their discussion the night before, he had decided to go. There was never a chance that he would be able leave Maria, their connection went deeper than the Royal seal and he couldn’t imagine his life without her in it. And, of course, he had an innate sense of fierce loyalty to Max not only as his King but as his best friend. But looking over at Kyle, he was torn. He wanted to respect Kyle’s right to choose, and if it came down to it and Kyle really didn’t want to go with them, Michael would try to accept the loss, but at the same time he hoped that it wouldn’t come to that.
Ducking his head, Kyle stared at his hands wondering what he was doing here. It was true that he and Michael had barely left each other’s side since their first night together, but they were buddies as well as… well, he didn’t exactly know what they were and therein laid the problem. If he went with them, would he just be in the way… a third wheel. His thoughts were interrupted as Michael’s large hand squeezed his knee.
“Kyle, I’d like for it to be your choice. I really would, but we both know that I’m not that accommodating of a man… so say your goodbyes, okay?”
Kyle smiled and moved a little closer to Michael’s side. None of that mushy crap, but he understood perfectly.
Maria watched Michael and Kyle’s brief interaction from across the room and knew that Kyle would be coming with them. She was happy for it. It would help take the sting out of Isabel and Alex staying behind. One look at Isabel’s forlorn expression and she’d known that Isabel wouldn’t be able to leave her parents behind or the life she’d made for herself on Earth. It hurt that she would be parted from both Isabel and Alex for an unknown amount of time, but as long as they were happy she’d be okay and hopefully they’d soon find a way to safely travel between the two planets. Her thoughts were interrupted by a squeaky voice.
“Max, I just wanted to assure you that I’ll be going with you,” Liz said looking up into his soulful brown eyes. She watched as he slid his arm around Maria’s waist, and reluctantly added with a sweet smile to Maria, “with all of you, of course.”
“What about your parents, Liz?” Max asked. Although she’d never been very dependent on Amy, Maria had been terribly upset at the thought of never seeing her again so he’d vowed to make safe transportation between the planets one of his top priorities. But, there was no guarantee and he needed everyone to know that. Max was worried about his own parents, and as much as he wanted his sister to go with them, he was also hoping that she might stay to take care of them.
Liz waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. “I was headed off to College pretty soon anyway. They’ll be fine.”
Max gave her a cool, enigmatic smile while thinking of how much she’d changed since learning their secret. It was strange now to think of his younger days when he’d watched her and Maria and Alex, and the ache it stirred in him to want to be normal, to want his own trio to be that carefree. Now, he was headed off to another planet and his differences had given him a life he never thought possible, and best of all he couldn’t be happier about it.
“And you’re not upset about missing out on Harvard and all that?” he asked, surprised that she didn’t mind not being able to fulfill her lifelong dreams of a career as a scientist.
She laughed and nudged him playfully. She didn’t miss the way he backed away from her, but put it out of her mind as best as she could. “Childhood dreams. I’m over that now. Besides, what could be better than being Queen of a planet.”
Max scowled at her. “You know that’s not a done deal by any means, don’t you?”
“Right,” she nodded. “There’s also Tess, but I know that neither of you are too fond of her.”
“Would you still want to be on Antar even if you weren’t Queen? I just don’t want you putting all your hopes on having that position, and if that’s your reason for going, I want you to please reconsider,” Max told her firmly, hugging Maria tighter to his side.
Liz had a faint nervous feeling for a moment, but she deserved to be Queen and she would just have to do everything in her power to make sure that happened. Giving a sideways glance to Tess who was sitting by herself in a corner of the room, Liz’s gaze focused back on Maria and she changed the subject, “You know, I’ve never seen the rest of the house. How about a tour, Maria?”
Maria agreed, but before she could step away Max brought her mouth to his and kissed her long and hard. Gently he released her and with weak knees and a tender smile in his direction, she headed up the stairs to show Liz around.
Gesturing to the first door, Maria told Liz, “This is Michael’s room, but he doesn’t like anyone going in there.” She kept walking to the end of the hallway, passing up the room that belonged solely to her. “This is the room Max and I share.” She opened the door, but didn’t walk inside.
Liz’s gaze swept over the elegant furnishings and the large four-poster bed with contempt, but she kept her voice level. “It’s very nice - a bit masculine. Do you want to go sit and talk?”
“Not here.” For some unknown reason it made her feel queasy to think of Liz in their bedroom, so she gestured back to the middle bedroom. “We can talk in here. This is my room when I need my own space.” She heard Liz gasp behind her, and figured it was the murals on the walls that had caught her attention, but when she turned back around Liz’s face was blank with no emotion at all.
There was an uncomfortable silence as they sat on her bed. Then Liz spoke up, “So, I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me on Friday before we leave? A last hurrah at an Earth mall?”
Maria nodded and giggled with her once-friend. “Yeah, that would be good. Who knows what we may encounter on Antar! I should ask Max if they even have malls.”
They talked for a long while, and Maria was in high spirits that they seemed to be getting along so well again. It had almost been like old times, and she cherished those moments.
They headed back to the living room and at the base of the stairs found Michael looking like he was about to storm up them. Maria inwardly rolled her eyes at his protectiveness and merely smiled, patting him playfully on his stomach as she walked by to go to Max’s side where he was talking to Tess. As they neared, Maria caught a furtive glance Liz sent Tess before the other girl slunk away. A strange feeling came over her at the sight, but she shrugged it off thinking that maybe it had something to do with what she was sure were behind-the-scenes cat fights over who would be the next Queen of Antar. Maybe she could convince Liz to talk to her about it when they went shopping on Friday.
~~~
The next evening, Maria and Max held a farewell dinner party that only family – Isabel, Alex, Michael and Kyle – attended. Max and Maria’s day in the kitchen cooking everyone’s favorite foods had been filled with fun and laughter, a testament that their relationship was more than just great sex, and from the way that their family was devouring the food they knew they’d done a good job.
As the night was winding down and they sat at the table talking and laughing, Isabel leaned over and with a hand on her thigh, whispered in Maria’s ear, “I have a gift for you. It’s upstairs.”
An excited smile lit up her face and she told Max, “Izzy and I are going to go upstairs. Why don’t you guys go hang out in the den?”
“Sounds like a good idea.” The other guys nodded and they pushed back their chairs. Max pulled Maria into his arms, leaning down so that his warm breath fluttered over her lips. “Don’t be gone too long, okay?”
She nodded and pressed her mouth to his with a soft, fleeting stroke of her tongue against his lips. Groaning as she pulled away, Max watched her walk away with his sister and reluctantly went to find the guys.
Upstairs in Maria’s room, Isabel picked up the dark wooden box that she’d placed there earlier and presented it to Maria. Like a child at Christmas, Maria eagerly opened her gift. Inside on plush velvet lining sat a set of shiny, white pearl wrist and ankle cuffs and a collar of several strands of pearls attached together by an intricate platinum clasp.
“Oh!” she exclaimed breathlessly. “It’s gorgeous!” Her fingers delicately touched the small pearls in wonder, and she looked up to see Isabel smiling beautifully. Maria moved closer to her, flush against her body and with her hand on the nape of her neck pulled Isabel forward so that their lips met in a sensuous kiss. Isabel’s hands on her hips held the smaller girl’s body tightly to her as the kiss deepened, their tongues grazing against each other with fire.
By tacit agreement, they moved into the bathroom where Isabel filled the large bathtub with hot water and scented bubble bath while Maria lit candles and placed them strategically around the room. They moved close to each other once more, each undressing the other slowly as soft fingers and silky lips caressed the revealed skin. Isabel lowered herself into the tub first and motioned for Maria to sit in front of her. As she sat in between Isabel’s long legs, she felt her hands reach around to pull her against her chest so that they were both leaning back languidly.
Dunking the washcloth in the soapy water, Isabel then rubbed it against Maria’s smooth skin from one shoulder and across her chest to the other, squeezing the cloth as she went so that water ran down over and in between her small breasts. Isabel watched over the smaller girl’s shoulder as the water trickled down her bare skin leaving it glistening with wetness. Lowering the washcloth, she palmed Maria’s breasts letting the roughness of the cloth rub against her nipples. “I’m going to miss you so much, Maria.” Maria moaned in return and with building pleasure her small body trembled, moving her small bottom against Isabel’s already aroused core and causing her to gasp.
Maria gripped her thighs tightly where they were bent at the knees on either side of her, and writhed against Isabel’s body as she continued to caress her breasts while moving her smooth lips over her throat and shoulders, sending her world into a spin of heat and desire. Desperate for her touch elsewhere, Maria took one of Isabel’s hands in hers and slid their intertwined fingers down to the wet curls in between her legs. “Isabel… please…”
“Yes, Maria.” Hands still together, their fingers fluidly glided in and out of her passage as the tension in her body started to tighten like a livewire. “Oh, my Queen, I don’t want you to ever forget me… to forget how I feel about you. Promise me?” Isabel pressed the pad of her thumb to her clit, circling it with persistent gentleness, enjoying the way Maria’s backside rubbed against her own swollen flesh. Her other hand gathered her breasts with strong, kneading fingers, lightly rolling her stiffening pink nipples, in a matching rhythm with the movement of their fingers pulling and pushing deep inside of her.
“Oh, gaahhh!!” Maria whimpered as her squirming increased. “I promise, Isabel. I promise, I could never forget,” she murmured as she turned her head and sought the other girl’s mouth, sealing the promise with a kiss. With an intense shudder, her whole body went rigid and she cried out her release. “Aaaggghhhh!!!” As her muscles flexed on the fingers still within her and her eyes became heavy-lidded from spent passion, she breathed out in a panting whisper, “Ohhhh, Isabel! I wish you were coming with us, I’ll miss you very much.”
Maria turned on her side, nuzzling her lips against her neck as Isabel whispered sweet nothings in her ear while stroking her arms and back. Her hand moved down between their bodies and pushed her fingers through Isabel’s already slick lower lips. She curled two fingers, rotating them as her thumb moved to press against her hard nubbin. Because she was already so worked up from Maria’s wriggling body, it didn’t take Isabel long to cum and she did so with a long, ragged cry that was as un-ice-princess-like as Maria could imagine.
After they both had relaxed for some time, Isabel washed the smaller girl thoroughly then helped her out of the tub and dried her off. Before dressing, she used her powers to quickly dry her and Maria’s hair. Remaining undressed, Maria pulled a small container out of her vanity and dipping her finger into the powder held it out to Isabel. “Try this and tell me what you think of it.” Earlier in the week, with the alien’s dietary quirk in mind, she’d made an edible spicy-honeyed body powder that she thought tasted great, but she wasn’t sure if it was sweet and spicy enough for the aliens.
Isabel closed her lips around Maria’s finger and sucked, swirling her tongue around the digit. “Mmm,” she said, nodding her head and licking her lips. “Tastes good.”
Pleased with the results, Maria had Isabel help her dust her entire body lightly with the powder turning her skin to a shimmering golden-bronze. Isabel moved around behind her closing the pearl collar around her neck, next were the wide wrist cuffs and then the ankle cuffs. Lastly, she attached a long strand of pearls to a hook on the collar and placed the handle at the end into Maria’s hands. Both sets of cuffs had a small four-inch string of pearls that could be used to fasten the wrists or ankles together, but since she needed them to be free for the moment, Isabel hooked one on to the end of each wrist cuff, smoothed them down the middle of the outside of her hands, and made a little ring at the ends that went around each middle finger.
The end result was very exotic looking, and she stepped back to see how the gift looked all put together. The sight of her made her want to throw Maria down on the bed and spend the rest of the night with her, but unfortunately the guys were waiting for her. Of course, they had no idea that she would be coming to them looking like this. Isabel wished she could stay just to see their faces, but it would be awkward with her brother in the room. Content that she had a pretty good guess at their reactions and could ask Alex about it later, she kissed Maria long and hard one last time before leaving.
A few minutes after Isabel left, Maria made her way downstairs to the den where the guys were sitting around talking sports. A hushed quiet fell over the room as she entered and all the guys abruptly stopped what they were doing or saying and stared hungrily in her direction. If it wouldn’t ruin the affect so badly, she would’ve laughed at the astounded looks on their faces. Instead she tried her most coquettish look, and with the grace of a Queen walked to her other half and seductively handed him the end of the pearl leash before kneeling between his legs. “My King,” she acknowledged charmingly with adoration shining in her dark emerald eyes.
A jolt of lust hit Max hard and he had to struggle to keep his composure, though he was positive the others were having just as hard of a time. Her whole body was glistening with a shimmering gold, even the blonde curls at the apex of her thighs and the tips of her rosy nipples were shining with gold, and the color was set off gorgeously against the stark, white pearls wrapped around her neck, wrists and ankles. She was absolutely stunning!
His erection had swelled and was pressing uncomfortably against his pants, but she took care of that quickly as she stripped him of all his clothes. Blood pounded in his ears and he groaned uncontrollably as her light touch grazed his hard length. Her eyebrow rose as if to ask permission, but she knew she didn’t need to and Max simply returned the look with love in his eyes that said she was his Queen as his lips curved into a sexy smile.
Alex’s heart had begun a slow, insistent thudding against his ribs from the moment she entered the room, and it showed no signs of letting up as he sat so close to Max on the curved quarter-moon couch that he could smell her arousal. He hadn’t seen the pearl adornments before, but all the same he knew they must’ve come from Isabel and somehow that tantalizing thought increased his enjoyment of the situation as well as the stiffness of his cock. He felt like such a voyeur just watching them together, but it was also turning him on immensely, and his pants were getting painfully tight.
Michael had felt like he’d stopped breathing when she walked in. All the times that he had pressed himself into that soft flesh flashed through his mind and he had to strain to suppress his groan. He looked over to Kyle, who sat next to him on the other side of the sofa from where Alex sat, and saw that his breathing had become more rapid and shallow and that his hand was rubbing against his erection in an effort to relieve some of the pressure. Pulling him closer, Michael placed Kyle’s hands on his own hard length that was pressing against the confines of his jeans.
Maria’s hands gripped the top of Max’s thighs as she slid her mouth down the whole, hard length of him, relishing his deep gasp of pleasure. His hands tangled in her hair as her tongue teased the ridge of skin at the tip of his shaft, her gentle humming sending a luscious tingling sensation through his whole body. “Oh damn, baby… Yessss! Aaahhh, yesss!! Right there.” As she engulfed him with her wet, hot mouth, sucking his cock with long, vigorous strokes, he could feel his balls firming under her delicious control of him. He lost all restraint, moaning her name over and over as she sucked him down harder and faster than she ever had before. In an earth shattering moment, his climax tore through him and he erupted, hot and violent, into her waiting mouth.
After she had swallowed the salty fluid, Maria sat back on her ankles and licked her lips, enjoying the taste of him and the knowledge that she’d made him lose control even in front of the others, a tribute to how much her skills had improved since that first day he’d requested her to go down on him and she’d not known how. He had definitely kept his word and taught her well since that day. Seeing that his eyes were closing in sated bliss, she started to move away, but before she could Max tugged on her leash and brought her mouth to his, lingering against her full lips, deepening it with strokes of his tongue against hers as their minds connected in a swirl of colors and emotions, weaving an enchanting magic spell around them as the moments seemed to turn into hours of divine happiness.
Finally, they pulled away panting for air to fill their lungs once again, and shared a look of unmistakable love for one another. Reluctantly he let the strand of pearls go, and let his head rest on the back of the sofa.
Feeling his eyes on her, Maria turned to Michael. His golden, tawny eyes flashed with hunger, like a wolf with its prey in sight, and persuasively in a low, guttural voice he beckoned her, “C’mere”.
On hands and knees she moved over to where he sat, and having undressed earlier, Michael pulled her up with strong arms onto his naked lap so that her knees straddled his hips. Looping the leash of pearls around his hand several times, he pulled her towards him roughly and crushed their lips together, his mouth ruthlessly moving with hers as he held her tight against his body.
With her hands on his chest, Maria rose up on her knees, feeling him press wet kisses across the tender skin below her breasts before she sank down over his hard length, and returned to their fierce kiss.
Michael couldn’t get enough of the sweet and spicy taste of her, and devoured her with an intense hunger as she rode him with amazing energy.
Kyle, having undressed when Michael had, sat next to the vigorous couple watching them intently as his painfully aroused flesh bounced against his hard abdomen and his knuckles turned white from his grip on the sofa cushions. A loud moan escaped him, and suddenly all of their focus was on him, and with fingers interlinked they wrapped their hands around his cock. The bumps of the pearls wrapped around her finger had him lifting his hips to thrust himself further and harder into their hands. Squeezing and stroking, their combined hands generated an intense heat that he felt all the way to his bones as they pumped his shaft from base to tip. “Fuck yeah! That feels good,” he moaned.
Unable to form any words, Maria sent Max an image of what she wanted. He turned to Alex and told him, “Maria wants you. Go around to the other side of the couch.” Then he sat back to enjoy the show.
Willing to do anything to be near her at that moment, Alex walked behind the couch until he was in front of her.
“Unzip your pants, Alex.”
He did so, and his erection sprang free.
“Closer,” she moaned.
Alex moved forward until his knees hit the back of the sofa, and slowly she took his hard length into her mouth. Sucking him like a candy cane, her tongue swirled around his shaft as she moved her full, pink lips up and down his cock. Her teeth grazed him, and he felt like he had gone to heaven as sparks shot up and down his spine. “Oh god… Yesssss!!!”
Michael’s lips were wrapped around her nipple, leaving sucking kisses all over her breast as she leaned over him to get to Alex. After Kyle’s cum spurted onto their hands, they untangled their fingers. She brought her fingers to his lips for him to suck on as he moved his cum drenched fingers to rub over her hard, little clit. A few moments later, she took several swallows as Alex coated the back of her waiting mouth with his cum. Turning back to Michael, she kissed him hard as she rode out her climax, clenching around him as she trembled with ecstasy. With a great chest-rattling groan, he grabbed her hips and pressed her down as he thrust upward shooting his hot semen deep inside her.
After letting her rest for a bit, Max picked her up and laid her down on the long rectangular ottoman. He spread her gorgeous long legs and as the others gathered around her, he proceeded to worship her into the early morning hours.
~~~
Late the next morning, Maria’s eyes fluttered open, and she found that Max had been staring at her while she slept. “Hey there, beauty.” A sleepy smile lit her features that made him chuckle and he kissed the top of her head. “You stay in bed for a bit. I think Michael’s downstairs cooking. I’ll go down and bring you up something, okay?” Maria nodded her head, too exhausted and sore to move an inch.
After a delicious, fortifying country breakfast of biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs, Max set to packing what little belongings they were taking with them. She wanted to help, but he told her not to worry and that he’d planned on taking care of everything anyway. The man was everything she could hope for in a husband, and she felt lucky that he wanted her, he even had her thinking about agreeing to his request to be Queen of Antar. It was out fear of neglect for him that she was afraid to take it, but he wanted it badly and she wanted nothing but to give him everything to his heart’s content.
The rest of their last day on Earth was spent in lazy abandon, and she enjoyed that the guys were willing to wait on her hand and foot. She tried to not be too demanding of them, but it was great fun to have even Michael bending to her every wish. After a tickle fest that kept her in check, thankfully interrupted by Isabel and Alex coming in, they vegged out in front of the TV watching all of their favorite shows for the last time. Max and Michael were taking their favorite Braveheart and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon DVD’s with them, figuring that if nothing else they could play them like Isabel played her CD’s.
The excitement of leaving was starting to build, and though she would miss her mom and Isabel and Alex like crazy, Maria was ready to see what her new home would look like. And, hopefully if all went smoothly, they would be able to travel between planets frequently. Surely, they had some way to at least communicate back and forth. The doorbell rang, intruding on her thoughts. Knowing it was for her, she got up and answered the door. Sure enough it was Liz to go on their shopping trip.
“Hey! Give me just a second, and I’ll change so we can go.” She started to hurry up the stairs when she turned around. “Izzy is here. Why don’t you ask her if she wants to go with us while I change?”
Liz nodded and walked into the living room where everyone was sitting around munching on snacks and watching TV. She had to figure out a way to make sure that Isabel didn’t come along with them.
“Hey, Liz. Are you and Maria going somewhere?” Isabel asked.
Liz tucked a strand of her dark hair behind her ear and answered softly, “Yeah, we thought we’d take a last stop at the mall for a bit of shopping.”
Isabel smiled. “Oh, that sounds like fun. Do you mind some extra company?”
“Umm, actually, I was kind of hoping that it could just be a best friends kind of thing. But, I guess you could come if you really wanted to.” She tried to sound as bummed about Isabel tagging along as she could, hoping that the other girl’s pride would stop her from coming with them.
Isabel felt Max’s hand on her arm and took a quick look at him to see him almost imperceptibly shaking his head. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but she did as he wanted and told Liz, “That’s okay. You two enjoy your time together.”
Liz held back her sigh of relief and when Maria came bounding down the stairs, she quickly ushered her out the door after telling them they’d be back in a couple of hours.
Sorry about the long wait. I was having a real crisis of conscience about making Liz seem so mean, but in the end I had to remind myself that this story wasn't meant to have any realistic plot line, that one had only developed to further the smut. Even so, I hope it's not too mean. Hopefully, the last part of the chapter will make up for it.
Hope you enjoy!
CHAPTER 9
After a long evening of mall shopping for those last essential Earth-made items to take with them, Maria and Liz plopped down their bags at a table in the food court, each taking turns staying with the valuables while the other picked up something to eat and drink.
Once they were both back, Maria asked “So, how are things going with you and Tess?”
“What?” Liz asked, her voice squeaking in surprise, her heart thudding.
Maria took a large gulp of soda before continuing, “Well, I know how catty Tess can be, especially if she thinks she’s in a competition.”
Liz laughed nervously. “Oh! Oh, right.” Inside she was begging her heart to slow down. “She has been a little difficult, but nothing too major yet. She’s probably just biding her time.” If she’d said she’d had no problems with Tess, Maria would know for sure that there was something else going on. Besides, a few words against Tess here and there would only be better for her in the long run.
Maria nodded and rolled her eyes in a gesture that suggested she was very familiar with Tess’s tactics. “Just between you and me, Max has just about had it with her.”
“That sounds like she for sure won’t be named Queen?” Liz ventured, hoping to get further assurances that she would be named Queen.
“Well honestly, like Max told you, since Max and I have already bonded anyone that fills that role will basically only be a public face, a hostess for events without any real power but a ton of pressure. And, it isn’t a decision that you can take back if you decide you don’t like it.”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine,” Liz started to protest.
Maria put her hand over Liz’s. “Listen, Liz, you and I were childhood friends for a long time and in recognition of that, if it’s a title you’re looking for, I could make you a Lady or Countess or whatever the equivalent is there. That would mean wealth and, best of all, independence. If you wanted, you could live on your own lands or even stay in the Royal Palace if you preferred. I don’t want you to think I’m discouraging you, I just want you to have more than one option.”
Underneath the table, Liz clenched her fists tightly. Yeah, Maria, let’s weigh those options – Lady or Queen… as if there were a choice. Overruling her inner voice, she sweetly replied, “I don’t mind being just a figurehead.” Of course as soon as she could get rid of Maria, she’d be much more than that. “Besides, if I decided that I didn’t want it, what would Max do? From everything I’ve seen and all that you’ve told me, I doubt he wants Tess to be his Queen. What will Max do with Tess anyway?” she asked, genuinely curious.
“Well, if Tess is not called upon to fulfill that task, and if she takes the news without any vilifying or threatening then she will be offered land in the countryside and a small title.” Maria took note of the frown that covered Liz’s face as she reminded her that Tess could still be considered for the job. She attempted to explain, “I don’t want you to make your decision based on that anyway. Max and Nacedo have both been coaxing me into taking on both sides of the role of Queen. They’ve promised me a full, competent staff so that I would still have most of my time free to spend with Max –”
Liz interrupted abruptly, “Are you going to do it?”
Maria caught the fury in Liz’s eyes that could not be hidden, and had to look away out of sadness for a friendship that once was. “I’m still a bit unsure,” she answered coolly, her green eyes meeting Liz’s this time with impassivity. A few moments passed in silence before Maria’s eyes fixed on the dark hallway behind Liz. “I’ll be right back,” she said, heading towards the restrooms.
When Maria came back out, Liz was once again smiling sweetly at her. She felt a pang of remorse for the small brunette, but stifled it as they headed out to the parking lot. Taking one last sip of her soda, she dumped it in the trash by the front doors.
They climbed into the car, the silence heavy. While driving them back to Max’s, Liz watched Maria surreptitiously from the corner of her eye, and as her eyes began to close more and more frequently she took a left and unknowingly to Maria headed out of town.
Pulling up to an old decrepit building, the headlights flashed on the petite blonde anxiously awaiting their arrival. She ran up to the car. “Did it work?” she asked excitedly, glancing around Liz to see inside the car.
Liz gave her a withering look for asking such a stupid question. “Just go around to the other side.”
“That was a brilliant idea,” Tess told Liz as they carried Maria’s limp body into the abandoned soap factory.
“Well we couldn’t just hit her over the head like you wanted to, or even use something like chloroform just in case it was possible she could alert Max through their connection.” They put Maria down on a small cot. “It just made more sense that if she simply fell asleep, then her conscious mind would never trigger that something was wrong. And lacing her soda with sleeping pills was so much easier than I could’ve imagined.”
Tess looked at the blonde splayed across the cot, her cold blue eyes narrowed. “I still don’t understand why we don’t just kill her.”
“Because it’s too easy, Tess. We want her to feel pain, right? If she’s dead, she feels nothing and the only one we hurt is Max. If she’s alive, but Max abandons her then it’s her worst nightmare come true.” Though, she figured Maria would be out well after they’d already left Earth, Liz put the finishing knot in the bindings that would keep Maria from being able to leave even when she did regain consciousness. No one ever came out here anymore and it was unlikely that she would be found for a very long time. There was a chance Maria would die of dehydration first, but at least she would suffer knowing that Max and Michael were not around to save her.
Liz took Tess’s hand in hers and dragged her back out to the car. “Now, come on, it’s your turn to do some of the work in this partnership.”
~~~
As the front door opened, Max popped his head around the kitchen door. “I’m glad you guys are back. It’s getting late, we should start heading out to the pod chamber pretty soon.”
Liz nodded and went to sit down in the living room while Maria headed towards the kitchen. “Max, I have a couple of errands to run. I’ll meet you out there, okay?”
Max put his sandwich to the side, took a long sip of water and eyed her carefully. “Errands? What kind of errands?” Max asked.
“Oh, I just want to drop off a note for my mom.”
“Sweetheart, Michael can do that for you.”
As he moved towards her, she started backing away. “No!” she shouted, then more calmly continued, “I mean, no, I should do it. I’ll… I’ll see you out there,” she said hurriedly, and practically ran from the kitchen.
Max just shook his head at the strange behavior and finished his sandwich before heading back to the living room where everyone was watching television.
Tess walked into the house moments later. “I just saw Maria leaving. Is she okay?”
“She just has some things to do. She’s going to meet us out there. If everyone is packed, we should get going.”
Isabel and Alex took Tess and Kyle in Alex’s car while Liz and Nacedo rode with Max in the jeep. Isabel and Alex would drive the cars back.
“Where’s Michael?” Liz asked.
Max turned to her, his dark eyes gleaming. “He’s already there making sure everything is ready to go.”
Liz nodded and looked out at the desert scenery one last time. Excitement was thrumming through her. She’d never be a small town girl again. No, she’d be Queen of an entire planet with people jumping to do her bidding. Another half hour and she’d have everything she ever wanted.
They arrived at the pod chamber and began loading their stuff inside. After they had finished, Max walked back out into the desert and looked at his watch then out over the dark horizon. “Damn! Where is she?”
Liz walked up beside him and with a face full of sympathy suggested, “Maybe she changed her mind, Max.”
“Why would she do that?” he asked incredulously.
“I didn’t want to say anything before, but she said a couple of things while we were shopping that made me think that she’d decided to stay behind, that she didn’t want to go after all.”
Max narrowed his eyes at Liz contemplating her words then looked out into the desert once again. “She wouldn’t do that,” he whispered then moved back towards the cave.
Liz smiled as she followed behind him, and when they entered the cave she gave a slight nod to Tess. Moments later Michael came out from the back chamber that housed the Granolith. “Max, we have to go or it’s gonna take off without us.”
Max kept glancing towards the mouth of the cave, but time was running down and they had to get moving. Finally, they said their last goodbyes to Isabel and Alex. Tess was the first one into the ship followed by Nacedo and Kyle then Liz. Max and Michael were the last to get on, and they only did so at the last moment.
Surprisingly the ship was quite big with two decks and several rooms on each floor. Michael piloted while Max, Kyle, Tess, and Liz settled into the plush sitting areas in the large gathering room. Nacedo had disappeared into one of the many rooms.
It was difficult for Liz and Tess to keep the grins off their faces, and as they traveled comfortably through space on their way to Antar each silently gloated about their accomplishment and thought of ways to get the other out of the way and soon.
After she’d let him have some time to contemplate the new situation, Liz sat down next to a gloomy Max. “Don’t worry, Max, I’ll take care of you.”
“No need for that.”
“What?” Liz asked, confused by his sharp retort. She glanced over quickly at Tess and found that she had caught his tone as well and was now paying close attention to their discussion.
Max’s penetrating dark brown eyes first studied Liz then turned on Tess making both girls squirm. Finally, he asked in a voice filled with incredulity, “Tell me, did you honestly think I would leave Maria? My home is wherever she is. I would give up a million kingdoms to be with her.”
“Wha— What are you talking about, Max?” Tess stuttered.
Maria strolled into the room, stopping at Max’s side. “He’s talking about how astounded he is that you thought you could get away with that little stunt?”
“What… How…”
Maria rolled her eyes. “You two weren’t quite as secretive as you thought. You’ve been watched since the first day you decided to work together, and when you came up with that ridiculous plan we knew all about it.” She looked at Liz with sorrow and reproach. “You should’ve taken my offer.”
Max stood and pulled Maria into his arms. “The sleeping pills were changed into harmless placebos a couple of nights ago, and Michael, who had been lurking in the shadows, had Maria untied as soon as you walked out of the warehouse. The mindwarp was quite entertaining though. I can’t believe you thought I would fall for that? A skittish, anxious Maria was definitely an absurdity.”
“I told you we should’ve killed her,” Tess pouted.
Nacedo melted out of the shadows and grabbed Tess. “Wrong thing to say,” he exclaimed menacingly. Liz stood up and looked around like she was going to run, but as she started to inch towards the doorway she was grabbed by Kyle.
Nacedo cuffed them both while explaining, “Your remarks and actions constitute treason against the throne of Antar and its Queen. You will be put into stasis until we reach Antar where you will be sentenced by the Council for Judicial Affairs.”
“Queen? She can’t be Queen! I was Queen and should be again.”
“No, I’m the Queen. Me! He was supposed to pick me!”
Liz and Tess whined their complaints as they were led from the room, arguing with each other over who should’ve been Queen as they were pushed into the stasis chamber. Neither Max nor Maria noticed their loud departure, instead they were wrapped up in each other, kissing with heady passion.
~~~
Their arrival on Antar was greeted with great fanfare. Nacedo was the first to step off the ship, and quickly conferred with guards regarding their prisoners. He was then greeted by the Council members and introduced Kyle as he came out. The King and Queen were next followed by Michael who was busy looking for anyone out to harm them.
With eyes wide, they surveyed their surroundings, their heads swiveling from side to side taking in the breathtaking grandeur of the palace in front of them and the cheering crowds being held back by rows of guards.
They were led up a broad path lined with flowering trees that grew on either side and came together in the middle to shade the walkway. The air was filled with their spicy aroma, and as they approached the stairs there were delicate looking royal purple flowers set in large intricately carved vases along each side.
Inside, the floors gleamed with different shades of polished marble and the domed ceiling soared to fifty-feet. Several floors up they were shown an area of white washed walls with large arched holes that looked up into the starry sky similar to the mural Michael had painted in Maria’s bedroom. After their long journey, they only had enough energy to look at a few rooms, though there were hundreds of them all filled with ornate furniture.
~~~
A couple of nights after they had arrived, Maria walked hurriedly through the private passageway, known only to a select few, linking her and Max’s compartments to certain other quarters within the castle. She really hoped that Michael was in. Max had gone to take care of a few last minute details, and she was a bundle of nervous energy. Her marriage and coronation would start in a little over twelve hours and she was freaking. She needed a release.
“Michael,” she called out walking through the secret entryway into his rooms, “I hope you’re home…” Her voice faltered as her breath caught in her throat at the powerfully erotic sight in front of her.
A completely naked Kyle was bent over a rail at the foot of Michael’s large bed, his legs spread wide, exposing his reddened backside. Michael stood behind him dressed in full military attire with all of its regalia, exuding raw masculine power, and wielding a heavy paddle.
Michael, who had looked over his shoulder at her entrance, smirked at the blatant lust in her eyes. “My Queen,” he called out to her, getting her attention as he offered the paddle to her.
Still in a daze she automatically took the punishing instrument, and then seeming to snap out of it she rolled it around in her hands and looked up at Michael.
He nodded his reassurance and turned her around to face Kyle, seeing in her eyes that it was something she wanted to try but was only having a bit of first-time jitters.
Steeling herself, she took the time to glance around the room and her eye caught an assortment of toys lying on the table nearby. Gauging the uses and affects of each implement, Maria put the paddle down and picked up a multi-tailed whip then pocketed one of the toys Michael often used with her, one of her favorites.
Passion burned within her like a dark flame, she’d never been the punisher, and was amazed that the prospect excited her so much. Fitting her body to Kyle’s, her fingers softly stroked over the sinuous curve of his shoulders and back, her nails scoring a trail down his back and lingering at the base of his spine. With a voice raspy from lust, Maria breathed out her words, “After each stroke you will beg me to fuck you. If you forget to beg, then another stroke will be added to the ten I have planned.”
A flush of excitement colored his flesh and his nipples tightened into little knots. His fingers gripped the railing he was tethered to, turning white with the effort to remain still.
Escaping from the thick leather handle of the whip she’d picked up were thirty spaghetti thin strips of leather, each capped off with a small sapphire crystal bead. Encouraged by the quaking of his body and the shuddering of his breath at her words, Maria decided not to hold back and the leather thong gave a sharp, cracking sound as it slapped against his ass.
Kyle cried out at the exquisite pain. “My Queen, my Mistress, please fuck me! FUCK ME, PLEASE!!” Her strokes weren’t as heavy as his Master’s, but they had a special kind of delicious sting to them, spreading across his backside like hot, little wisps of wildfire. A tear dripped down his cheek, but he was smiling. Rising on his toes, he writhed rhythmically with each lash, his back and leg muscles straining as he howled his pleas.
Michael’s honey-brown eyes roamed over the scene like some kind of wild, intense animal being held back by the thinnest of tethers as he watched Maria punish Kyle while the latter begged her to take him, and when she took out his own preferred toy, the large, black leather phallus, Michael could no longer contain his growls of desire.
By the time the tenth stroke had slid over his flesh, there was a lovely assortment of red welts and scrapes covering Kyle’s firm, round ass. Breathing heavily, Maria whispered, “That was beautiful, Kyle.” Lightly scraping her freshly manicured nails across his raw flesh, she delighted at the way he jumped in her hands. Knowing both sides of the coin now, having been the punisher and the punished, it thrilled her to no end and she felt the rush of knowledge that could only serve to make her a better, more experienced lover.
She draped across his body, and looked down over his shoulder. His erection was jutting upwards against his belly, rigid and trembling with consuming need. “You did well, Kyle. And since you begged so nicely…” She teased the rim of that little puckered mouth until his hips were bucking wildly then she slid the dildo inside him, its full length sliding into his ass. Kyle moaned deeply, his back arching, as she pulled the hard object out then pushed it slowly back in. Tears fell from the corners of his crystal blue eyes, welcoming the pain, welcoming the new sharp slaps against his already reddened backside. When she reached around and wrapped her soft fingers around his hard length, he cried out with joy, and with only a few strokes his cum was splashing onto his belly.
Unable to control himself any longer, Michael prowled up behind Maria, slipped off her robes in one smooth movement, and swept her into his arms depositing her on his velvety, midnight blue bedspread. As he started to take off his full-dress military uniform, she demanded, “No, leave it on.” He kicked off his shoes and socks, but left the rest on before moving up onto the bed in between her spread legs. He was her soldier.
Sitting up slightly, her hands explored inside his open shirt, stroking the contours of his muscled chest down to the waist of his pants where she unbuttoned and unzipped them. His cock leaped and she slid her hand firmly around his arousal from base to tip as she took his mouth in a deep kiss while falling back to the bed with him on top of her.
He pinned her hands above her head as he slid into her hot, wet depths. Her loud cries fueled him, and he rotated his hips as he thrust into her varying the depth and direction of his thrusts with tremendous power.
In response, Maria lifted her legs up high keeping them squeezed together, her knees now near his shoulders, then to intensify the pressure she crossed her thighs and clamped her inner muscles sending marvelous sensations down his spine.
He stroked his hands over her shapely legs. “Aggghhh, fuck, Maria…”
With one leg hooked over his shoulder, she stretched the other out along the bed causing her vaginal muscles to roll and squeeze his cock. No longer able to form words, loud grunts came from deep inside his throat.
The pressure raged inside her body and she cried out as he took her over the edge of the abyss, oblivion claiming them both as they came with searing intensity.
Struggling against his bindings at the foot of the bed, inches away, Kyle watched the carnal image of them swallowing each other like the wild rampaging of a fire, and wished like mad that it was his flesh plunging into Maria’s and that it was his flesh being taken by Michael. The leather phallus was holding him open and vulnerable, and unable to rub against anything his testicles had grown painfully full. He took deep breaths, but their scent engulfed him, the aroma making his nostrils flare and his mouth salivate.
Once their breathing had settled somewhat, the low, throaty moans coming from the foot of the bed caught their attention. After a scorching kiss that heated her blood once again, Michael rolled off of the bed, moving behind Kyle. Shivers of pleasure rushed down her spine as she met Michael’s golden brown eyes over Kyle’s splayed body.
Maria crawled closer, taking Kyle’s mouth in a tantalizing press of lips and spar of tongues. Then she sat up, her core inches away from his mouth. A low groan escaped from him along with an out rushing of air that moved seductively over her swollen lips.
Her hand ran through his golden brown hair, and clasped the base of his neck, pulling his mouth forward until it was tight against her sex. At the same time, Michael had removed the dildo and filled Kyle with his own hot, hard flesh and was thrusting with long, slow strokes inside his tight walls.
Kyle’s tongue brushed across Maria’s clit in slow, rhythmic motions making her body tremble. With one hand pinning him to her, the other reached down and gripped his shaft. As she worked the slippery silk skin of his hard shaft up and down, he fed on her clenching sex, savoring the taste.
Michael continued to drive him ruthlessly while Maria’s small hand stroked his cock vigorously until he was spinning out of control. Sparks tingled along every nerve ending, and his body exploded.
Michael looked up into Maria’s golden green gaze, darkened with pleasure, and with one last thrust felt his body stretch tight then surrender as he spurted into Kyle with violent jerks. He leaned over Kyle’s bent body, and captured Maria’s lips with his own. As Michael’s tongue slid between her lips, and Kyle’s tongue drove deep into her sex, a ripple of ecstasy flowed through her and she flooded Kyle’s mouth.
Michael released Kyle from his bindings and they laid down on the bed next Maria. Facing her, Michael lazily cupped her breast as Kyle pressed up against his back. Looking over Michael’s shoulder, Maria quietly told Kyle, “I love watching him fill you so completely, taking the flesh he desires... the way you give your body so willingly, following his command without question, unreservedly accepting the bond between the three of us. Such loyalty and devotion shall always be rewarded, Kyle.”
Kyle's sky blue eyes were heavy lidded with spent passion, and he smiled at her contentedly. "I love you both," he whispered right before his eyes closed in a deep sleep.
Michael and Maria smiled at each other at Kyle’s words, and she snuggled blissfully against his hard chest as he folded himself around her. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she thought, ‘That was just what I needed.’
Even so, I hope it's not too mean. Hopefully, the last part of the chapter will make up for it.
