Part Eleven

“I come bearing gifts.”
Liz shook her head as Alex made a dramatic gesture holding up the tequila and ice cream for inspection.
“Awwww Alex you shouldn’t have” Liz replied as she ushered him into the apartment.
Alex walked towards the kitchen opening and closing cupboards and drawers in search of glasses and cutlery “I wish you’d stop changing everything around I was just getting used to the old arrangement.”


“ Annoying you is my only pleasure in life” Liz sighed smiling when Alex hit his head on the open cupboard door he’d forgotten to close.
“Shit” Alex muttered whilst rubbing the tender spot “oh it’s not just me you live to torment, Max Evans remember him.”
“Oh I could never forget Max” Liz murmured her eyes dancing with mischief.
“ Did something happen that I should know about, you haven’t slept with him have you? Alex questioned his face twisting into a grimace.

“Ye of little faith, of course I haven’t slept with him. I’ve humiliated but not slept with.”
Alex ceased pouring the tequila his full attention fixed on Liz “what did you do?” he asked cautiously.
“Nothing he didn’t deserve” Liz quipped biting on her lip to suppress a grin.
“Details Liz I need details come on brighten up my weekend” Alex said a wicked grin tingeing his lips.
“You really take a perverse pleasure in Max suffering don’t you?”
Alex shrugged nonchalantly “what can I say the guys a dick he deserves everything he gets.”


Liz shook her head “your still upset about the gay name comment aren’t you?”
Alex glanced at Liz noting her playful tone “maybe just a little but I hated him before remember.”
Liz nodded her head in affirmation holding her glass out for Alex to fill “it’s a good job you brought this along”
“It is?” Alex asked filling Liz’s glass to the brim.
“Yep it’s just what I needed to celebrate my victory over Max” Liz raised her glass towards Alex smiling broadly “ here’s to revenge it’s never tasted sweeter.”
“To revenge” Alex drank back the tequila wincing at the slight burning sensation in his gut “ so care to elaborate and explain in excruciating detail what this act of revenge was.”

“You really need to get a life of your own Alex its not healthy to live through other peoples” Liz muttered as she reached for the bottle.
“And were is it you purchase those again?” Alex joked as he shoveled a spoonful of vanilla into his mouth.
“Alex you photograph beautiful woman for a living, supermodels no less. You can’t possibly tell me that you couldn’t get a date with at least one.”


Alex looked pointedly at Liz his spoon jabbing the air as he spoke “ I’ll have you know that I’ve had more than a few supermodel sandwiches in my time.”
“So why are you single?” Liz asked quietly not wanting to push the subject.
“ I just haven’t found the right girl” Alex replied dejectedly.
Liz reached across rubbing his forearm affectionately “you will, your some catch Whitman.”


Alex clasped Liz’s hand smiling warmly “ maybe you could set me up with someone at the office.”
Liz shook her head vehemently “there’s only three types of women were I work and none of them would interest you.”
“Humor me” Alex replied pouring some tequila from his glass into the ice cream bowl “ummm that’s nice, you wanta try some?”
“No that’s okay Alex you knock yourself out” Liz replied while pushing Alex’s spoon away from her mouth and towards his.
“So these women” Alex mumbled whilst licking his spoon.
“Well there’s the over fifties, the married and then there’s the women who’ve slept with Max. I’d be willing to put money on it that the third category is by far the largest” Liz replied her voice a mix of sarcasm and bitterness.

“Enough said, so while we’re discussing Max do you think you could get around to telling me what happened tonight” Alex stated firmly.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
“Try me.”
Liz smiled in remembrance of her encounter with Max “He locked us in my office refusing to let me out until I admitted I had feelings for him.”
Alex pushed his bowl aside “so how did you get out of there, you didn’t tell Evans that you had feeling for him because that would have been a mistake- you don’t do you? Have feelings for him I mean.”
Liz raised her hands “calm down Alex deep breaths, I didn’t tell Max that I had feeling for him.”
“Alex sighed in relief “so what did you do?”
“I distracted him,” Liz stated simply.
“And what did this distraction entail?” Alex asked his brow arching in question.
Liz looked straight at Alex as she replied calmly “I groped him.”

“What?” Alex spluttered his mouth flapping open and closed as he fought to form a coherent sentence “so you groped then what?”
Liz giggled girlishly as a mental image of Max standing in the middle of her office, trousers pooled around his ankles sprang into her mind “ I took the key and left one very unfulfilled Max Evans.”
Alex snorted his face coloring as he doubled over, his laughter causing Liz to join in, after several minutes they settled down, wiping their tear stained faces.
“Bravo Liz, Bravo. I would have paid money to see the look on Max Evans face. Well at least now you can put all this revenge stuff behind you and get the hell away from Evans.”


“ I’m not giving up Alex” Liz stated her voice determined.
Alex’s brow furrowed “Liz don’t you think your getting a little Glen Close here, like you said you’ve had your revenge so just drop it.”
“I’m having fun Alex” Liz pouted “besides maybe it isn’t about revenge anymore.”
Alex gripped the table his face draining of color “I knew it your falling for him.”
Liz smiled holding Alex’s gaze as she spoke “I’m not falling for him Alex, its just things were left unfinished between us in college, there’s only one thing I want from Max Evans.”
“And that would be?” Alex questioned already knowing the answer.
“Sex.”

Part Twelve

"Oh it's you" Max murmured gruffly as he typed furiously, the pounding of the keys resounding throughout the office.
"Now is that anyway to greet your sister?" Isabel prodded as she slumped into the chair opposite.
He glanced briefly at her before returning his full attention to the document before him, after the weekend he'd had the last thing he needed was a dressing down from Isabel "I'm busy."
"Yeah that's the same excuse mom's been using for the past three weeks to explain away why you haven't been home to see her".
"I called her two days ago" Max replied weakly knowing full well that it was a feeble excuse but truth be told he had enough complications in his life without dealing with his mothers misguided notions about his sexuality "look I'll drive down Sunday."
"That just isn't good enough Max" she scolded, he really could be an insensitive prick sometimes "your going to have to make more of an effort, a weekly call, the odd monthly visit just isn't going to cut it, this is mom we're talking about" Isabel pleaded hoping Max would take heed.
"Your right and I will make more of an effort" he replied apologetically "it's just I have enough problems without trying to convince mom I'm not gay!"

Isabel’s eyes rose in surprise "you know about that?" she questioned a little on edge.
"Yeah Maria told me" Max replied eying Isabel suspiciously "you don't seem surprised that mom would think that" Max stated as he watched his sister squirm.
"Of course I'm not surprised mom told me first" she replied nonchalantly, hoping Max would buy it.
"You told mom I was gay! I don't believe you Iz" Max boomed the pieces of the puzzle finally slotting into place; where else would his mother have gotten such a ludicrous idea.
Isabel opened her mouth to deny the accusation but closed it again before a wicked grin spread across her face "lighten up Max it was just a bit of fun."
"Well I never did like fun at my expense Isabel" Max snapped his irritation rising another notch as he thought about the other woman in his life that had played him for a fool.
Isabel sighed her arms folding as she looked pointedly at Max "well what was I supposed to say when mom asked why you never mentioned any long term girlfriends or brought anyone home for dinner?"

Max returned Isabel’s hard stare "well maybe you could have told her the truth" he replied determined to make his sister see the error of her ways and of course make her apologize.
Isabel raised a finger to her lips "hmmm the truth, well you didn't seriously want me to tell mom that your a bed hoping himbo that barely has a woman around long enough for breakfast let alone Sunday dinner" she quipped.
Isabel winced at the dismayed look that swept across her brother’s face; she instantly regretted her harsh words even though they were meant in a teasing manner "Max I’m sorry you know what I'm like I was just kidding."
Max slumped forward his head nestled in his folded arms "but your right" he replied in a muffled tone.
Isabel leaned forward ruffling Max's hair affectionately, his sudden behavior had her unnerved normally he'd just brush off her sarcastic quips but from the look on his face a moment earlier something had hit home and cut him deeply. "You wanna tell me what all this is about?" she questioned softly not wanting to push the subject.
Max raised his head slightly his eyes locking with Isabel’s "It's just that-"



"We need to talk" Liz stated firmly as she burst into Max's office not caring that he was with someone.
"Liz I can't do this right now I'm with someone" Max replied as he gestured towards Isabel.
Liz smiled sweetly at Isabel as she appraised her "I'm very sorry" her gaze returning to Max "but I don't give a damn, we talk now."
Isabel watched as heated glances were exchanged between her brother and this mystery woman. The girl was gutsy she had to give her that, not many employees would barge into their bosses office and point blank demand to speak with them when they had someone else there. Deciding that someone needed to disperse the tension Isabel cleared her throat as she rose fixing her gaze on Max "God Max you’re so rude aren't you going to introduce me?"
Max broke eye contact with Liz "Isabel Liz, Liz Isabel" Max replied dryly his hand sweeping back and forth as he gestured to the two women.
Isabel extended her hand smiling warmly at Liz "the part he forgot to add is that I'm his sister."
Liz gripped Isabel’s hand returning a genuine smile as her words penetrated through her jealous haze "you have my deepest sympathies."
Isabel laughed despite the death glare sent in her direction from Max, Liz was spirited, she liked the girl and if she wasn't very much mistaken so did her brother. "I'll just leave you two alone to discuss whatever it is you need to discuss" she replied backing towards the door "call me if you need to talk Max."
"Thanks Iz" Max called out as he watched the door inch closed.

He turned cold eyes towards Liz "Isn't it enough that you embarrass me privately without doing it in front of my family!"
Liz's arms folded against her chest defensively "get over yourself Max; you think I embarrassed you Friday night? Believe me you have no comprehension of true embarrassment" she replied her eyes glazing over for a split second as she was catapulted back to the night that this whole revenge kick had started.
"And I suppose you do right?" Max replied bitterly.
Liz's head snapped towards him her cheeks flushing in anger, it was on the tip of her tongue to tell him just how well versed she was in humiliation but she held herself in check “I didn’t come in here to start a slanging match, I just-”
Max cut her off mid sentence “you just what?” he hissed harshly, weary of all their little mind games and power plays.

Liz watched his eyes darken; she really hadn’t anticipated that he would be this angry. She thought that her little stunt would just be water off a ducks back but watching him now she took note of his indignation and some other emotion swirling in his eyes, could it be hurt? But for him to be hurt by her actions would suggest that he cared for her right? And genuine emotional affection was beyond the Max Evans she knew.
“I actually wanted to apologize for the way I treated you, I was wrong-” she faltered slightly at his indifference “oh just forget it!” she turned on her heel and got as far as the door before he grabbed her firmly by the arm.
“Liz wait….”

Part Thirteen

He watched her stalk toward the door for a millisecond before he was on her; despite his anger he just couldn’t seem to let her walk away. It perturbed him to think that he had upset her and as he looked upon her down turned face he wondered when it had stopped being about himself and all about her.
“Liz wait…”

The plea and urgency in his words were clearly evident and as Liz raised her eyes to his, she wondered at the emotions swirling in their amber depths. He was looking at her with such an intensity that she had to remind herself to breath “I really am sorry…I took things too far.”

He nodded in agreement a small smile touching his lips as he remembered how she had out witted him “apology excepted” he murmured his gaze never wavering or his hold on her “was that the only reason you wanted to see me?”

She felt the heat of his gaze and touch burn right through her, his cold reception had made her rethink her plans but at this moment she wanted nothing more than to tell him that she wanted him, that she wanted him to take her right here, right now but she couldn’t seem to vocalize her feelings “I’m a-”

“You’re trembling” he couldn’t stop the awed words issuing forth from his lips, searching her for some indication as to the reason for this bodily response he wasn’t prepared for the hungry look in her eyes nor the heated stain of her cheeks. “What’s going on Liz?” he muttered in confusion, he was so used to getting mixed signals from her that he didn’t know what to make of the situation but he certainly knew what he hoped it signified.

She decided to throw caution and perhaps her pride to the wind. She realized that she may be leaving herself open to rejection as she had in the past but if ‘no’ were to be his answer this time she’d take it on the chin; she wasn’t that same naive girl but a woman made of stronger substance.
“I was wrong” she replied simply to his inquiry.

He felt his heart hammer in his chest at the implication of those three simple words; did she mean she had been wrong to apologize? Or wrong about the nature of their relationship?
“Wrong?”

She watched as his body tensed, he was clearly unsure what she meant by ‘wrong’ and if she allowed herself to be honest for a moment she wasn’t quite clear what she meant either but for now she would put thought on the back burner and just act on feeling.
“I want something to happen between us Max.”

Watching her closely for any sign of jest he replayed her words in his mind making sure that he hadn’t misheard. She held up under his scrutiny, her gaze never wavering from his own.

“You want something to happen between us?” he parroted her words dumbly “you mean romantically?” he asked needing clarification before he made a complete fool of himself.

Liz had never seen Max look so unsure, moving closer to him she nodded slightly before rising up on her tip toe and placing a tender kiss against his lips.

When Max felt the warm moistness of her lips press against his own his eyes closed involuntarily. Slightly stunned his lips remained inert but Liz was unperturbed by his lack of response; her lips remained firmly pressed to his before she swept her tongue against his mouth in a caress. It was at this point that Max realized what was transpiring and he responded with the fervor of a starving man.

Groaning he pulled her flush against him and seized her lips in a bruising kiss. He took full advantage of the whimper of pleasure issued from her lips and swept his tongue into her mouth. He couldn’t believe how incredibly soft her tongue felt as it swirled and slid against his own. Had a kiss ever been this vivid? He wondered suddenly, with Liz every sensation seemed to be magnified.

“Liz” he mumbled never once breaking the kiss, even though his lungs where oxygen starved he’d fall down unconscious before he’d break the contact between them.

Liz hadn’t expected it to feel this way…..she thought his kiss would be urgent and demanding she never dreamt that he would be this tender. His kiss was expert she marveled but then with the amount of women he’d had why should she expect that he would be anything but skilled.

Pushing the mental image of him sharing this experience with another woman to the back of her mind she pressed harder against his mouth her teeth nipping his bottom lip. Feeling the need to breathe over power her she pulled away from him and smiled between panting breaths “that-was-…..”

Max sucked in a lungful of air “amazing” he supplied trying valiantly to ignore the weakness over taking him “In fact it was so amazing that I’m just gonna have to do it again.”

“Oh” Liz managed to reply before his mouth clashed against hers.
“ohhhh” she hummed as he held her body tightly against his and walked them backwards until he was resting against his desk.

“Liz” Max groaned as he hoisted her onto the desk. Stepping into the circle of her thighs his right hand enmeshed in her hair while his left rested against her bosom. Circling his hand firmly around her globe like breast he realized that he had been right that day when she had walked into his office-she did fit perfectly in the palm of his hand, in fact she fit him perfectly in almost every way.

“Oh Yes Max!” Liz hissed when she felt him tweak her nipple, with both hands clutched firmly against the desk she arched into his touch. She felt desire flood her body, she was more than frustrated by Max’s lack of initiative he hadn’t even attempted to move his actions beyond her clothing to her flesh and so she took his hand and thrust it through the opening in her blouse and clasped her hand firmly over his guiding him beneath her bra.
“I need you to touch me Max….”

“Oh God!” he hissed when he felt the supple warmth of her breast enclosed within his palm, her skin felt fevered beneath his touch and it spurred him on; his tongue thrusting in and out of her mouth in time to the rhyme of his hips as they ground against her lower body.

Feeling Max’s growing enthusiasm Liz snaked her hand against the front of his trousers her fingers clawing at his erection through the material. She wanted to elect feelings in him akin to those he was causing within her own body. She wanted to feel his smooth hot flesh slide against her hand and so she unbuttoned his pants and pushed them to the floor to pool about his ankles.

Max had also been busy during this time, making short work of Liz’s blouse and bra. He had fumbled slightly with the clasp unable to concentrate on the task at hand as she caressed his arousal. When she leaned back against the desk he got his first full look at her naked torso and what a glorious sight it was to behold. His eyes swept the landscape of her skin, mesmerized by it’s smoothness he leaned over her his nose rubbing across her stomach and then traveling higher between the valley of her breasts before taking a pert nipple into his mouth.

“MAX!” his name was torn from her throat as he suckled and nipped at her breasts, she wanted him so badly she thought she would explode if she didn’t have him “Max I need- Her words died on her lips as Max’s office door was flung up.


“So Max barba-” Maria stopped in the center of Max’s office her mouth gaping open at the sight before her. She stood transfixed as her best friend stood over a half naked Liz Parker. Thankfully Max was facing away from Maria so she couldn’t see anything other than his butt which by the way was more than enough “put it away Max” Maria bellowed her hands clamping so firmly over her eyes that they were almost dislodged from their sockets “put it away before I go into premature Labor!”

“Get the hell out Maria!” Max cried attempting to pull his trousers up and shield Liz from any prying eyes “or at least go and close the damn door!”

“Shit sorry” Maria muttered stumbling to the door still using her hands as a makeshift blindfold.
By the time Maria had closed the door and turned around Max and Liz were fully clothed if somewhat flustered.
Max marveled at Maria, she always picked the most inopportune times to barge in on him “can we help you?”

Maria dared to peek out from behind her hands “no… but it looks like you’ve been helping each other” she chided her grin almost splitting her face “I sooooo cannot believe that you two were gettin it on!”

Liz groaned and buried her head into Max’s shoulder, she was humiliated- utterly humiliated and from Max’s tense posture he was feeling no better than her.

“What was it that had you barreling in here Maria?” Max asked.
Maria shrugged “Oh it was nothing important” she started to back away toward the door “barbecue tonight my place-that goes for you too Liz, 8.30 sharp guys…I totally hate tardiness. So I’ll just leave and you can get back to- whatever.”

“I’m so embarrassed” Liz cried burying her flaming cheeks in her hands.
“Tell me about it” Max replied placing a kiss against Liz’s mouth before he pulled her into an embrace “she’ll never let us live this down you known…”

Part Fourteen

Liz had returned Max’s embrace easily her arms immediately gravitating around his waist her cheek pressing against his firm chest as they laughed off their shared embarrassment. It wasn’t until Max had placed a soft kiss to the crown of her head that the reality of the situation finally became apparent to her. It was a simple and innocent gesture of affection, one which she was wholly unprepared for and it shook her to the core.

Stepping out of the circle of his arms she raised her eyes to him and felt panic at the way in which he was watching her. She had expected to see jubilance and perhaps even lust in his gaze not tenderness…“I should really get back to work” she whispered unable to tear her gaze away from him.

Max saw the shadow pass across her face and knew immediately that she was withdrawing from him “Liz what’s wrong?” he murmured holding her fast.

He’d be damned if he was going to let her walk out of his office without any explanation as to her sudden hesitation after what they had just shared. Granted he hadn’t envisaged that his first intimacy with her would be against his desk and in all honesty Maria’s interruption had been perfectly timed, Liz deserved more than that.
“Why are you suddenly cooling off?…I don’t understand.”

Liz watched the tenderness seep from his eyes to be replaced by confusion, what plausible explanation could she give him when she wasn’t even really sure of the reason herself. Looking at him she just didn’t know if she had the stomach for this whole revenge kick anymore- maybe she never really had. “I’m not cooling off Max I just-everything is happening really quickly and I wasn’t prepared to feel-” she stopped speaking abruptly her mouth snapping shut.

“You weren’t prepared to feel what Liz?” he asked. Max had never been an expert on deciphering female emotion but with Liz it was all the more hard. “You need to talk to me because I have no idea what’s going on between us”

Liz felt her heart sink into the pit of her stomach as she finally accepted her true feelings for Max Evans. She had been about to confess to him that she had not been prepared to feel anything beyond contempt for him but she couldn’t manage to push the words past her lips, for they were a lie. If she were truly honest this whole planned revenge had morphed into something else entirely along time ago, no longer did she feel bitterness or pain her feelings for him were akin to those she had harbored in college….she was slowly but surely falling for him again.

“I have to get out of here!” Liz cried in panic, wrenching her arm from Max’s grasp she stumbled backwards toward the door her voice trembling with unshed tears as she murmured ‘I’m sorry’ before disappearing.

Max took a step to follow then faltered it was clear that his presence was neither wanted nor was it needed. Maybe Liz just needed sometime to decide what she truly wanted and felt and maybe he needed the same thing……




The last thing in the world Max wanted to do was attend Maria’s barbecue but after he had explained why he wasn’t really feeling in a party mood Maria had point blank insisted that he come.

Before he had even managed to set foot on the front lawn Maria was hurtling out the door her feet slapping against the gravel as she ran toward him. He stumbled slightly as she threw herself into his arms, her face burrowing into his shoulder “hey what’s the big idea running out here to meet me?” he murmured stroking her hair “you need to be taking it easy.”

“Oh Max” she cried her face pressing more tightly against him as she sobbed.

Max looked over the top of Maria’s head toward the front porch where Michael was standing, for a moment he had feared that something was wrong with Maria or the baby before he saw Michael smiling.
“Hormones….” Was all Michael offered in way of an explanation for Maria’s outburst.

Maria raised her tear spattered face to her best friend “ignore my idiot husband, this is not hormones” she growled “it’s called empathy, empathy for my best friend’s situation.”

“Maria you have enough going on without worrying about my problems” Max sighed, sometimes Maria really worked herself into a frenzy over events in his life but with the baby due in a little over three months he didn’t want her concerning herself with his dysfunctions “come on lets get you inside” he said placing his arm around her shoulders and leading her toward the house.

Maria allowed Max and Michael to help her into a chair but she was barley settled before the questions began “so what happened? when I walked in on you two getting all hot and heavy things looked promising you can’t just tell me that after almost doing the deed that she suddenly just changed her mind, what did you do Max?”

Max was astounded that she had managed that lengthy tirade without drawing a breath “I didn’t do anything and I thought you were empathetic toward my situation?” he whined.
He should have realized that Maria would assume that this disaster was his fault after all when it came to women it normally always was.

“See what I mean about hormones” Michael chimed in “she’s been running hot and cold all day.”

“If you want to be able to chew the food your cooking honey I suggest you shut up now..” Maria threatened sweetly.

Michael smiled awkwardly “I don’t need to be told twice” he placed a chaste kiss to his wife’s mouth “I’m just goina go check on the burgers.”

Max watched Michael stroll into the kitchen and desperately wanted to follow him, Maria was relentless when it came to Liz and him. He knew that she only had his best interests at heart but that didn’t make discussing his feelings for Liz with her any easier. “Ria I don’t know what to tell you; after you left things were fine. We laughed about you interrupting and then all of a sudden she just went ridged in my arms and before I knew it she was flying out of my office like a bat out of hell.”

Maria placed a protective hand against her belly “I’m surprised that you weren’t the one doing the running” she replied.

“What the hells that suppose to mean?” Max asked angrily, he didn’t like the accusation in Maria’s words.

“What it means” Maria murmured softly “is that instead of you being spooked by the intensity of your feelings she was the one who got frightened, which I have to say surprises me…”

“You think Liz’s feelings for me run deep?” he asked not really prepared to hear the answer. He had been pondering his feelings for Liz for weeks now and while he knew that his admiration and affection for her went far beyond his usual feelings for a woman he didn’t really know what they signified, he didn’t really have any meaningful relationship experiences to compare with.

“I can’t claim to know the secrets of Liz Parkers heart but I know yours….your in love with her” Maria stated her gaze locking with Max’s as she watched her words sink in.

Max felt something unfamiliar stir within him, he watched Maria uneasily his head shaking slightly in denial of her words “that’s real funny Maria…” he laughed nervously.

“It wasn’t a joke Max and you damn well know I’m right so just stop with the denial.”

Max jumped up out of his seat and began to pace his eyes flickering to Maria “I’m not denying anything- while it’s true that I care for Liz a great deal I am not in love with her, I’ve never been in love with anyone…In fact I don’t even think I’m capable of it!”

Maria bounced from her seat and went to stand directly in front of Max “bull fucking shit!” she replied in anger. It really upset her when she saw him acting like this, she didn’t know why he believed that he was incapable of loving someone, he had so much to give if only he would stop running scared and finally settle into an adult relationship. “You need to work through and realize your true feelings for Liz or your going to loss her, do you understand that Max?”

Max nodded mutely, he knew Maria was right. He had a lot of soul searching to do before he saw Liz again, he couldn’t take the chance that what he was feeling for her could be something profound, he needed to be prepared and able to wear his heart on his sleeve if he truly decided that he wanted a relationship with her “Ria do you mind if I pass up dinner? I’ve got a lot I need to think about.”

Maria nodded before reached up and placing a kiss on Max’s cheek “I’m here if you need me” she whispered.
Max returned her kiss “thanks Ria…..”



Alex opened his apartment door on the second knock and was shocked by the sight before him “Parker what’s happened?” he asked as he ushered a soaked and distraught Liz into his home and into his arms “did something happen with Max?” he rasped stroking her wet hair from her face “did that bastard do something to hurt or upset you?”

Liz shook her head trying to speak through her sobbing “we-I-I”

Alex cupped Liz’s face between his hands “did you sleep with him, is that it? You slept with him and now you regret it.” From Liz’s utter devastation it was the only plausible scenario, right from the start he had known that this revenge kick would blow up in her face. Liz Parker was not a spiteful woman and he should have put a stop to this madness from the very beginning, some friend he was… “I’m so sorry sweetie I should have stopped you doing this, you weren’t thinking straight.” Alex murmured guiltily.

Liz began to cry harder at Alex’s words, the last thing she wanted was for him to take responsibility or feel guilt for her actions, she was a big girl and this whole mess was on her own head “Alex none of this is your fault, please don’t blame yourself for my stupid actions..” she whispered.

“So you did sleep with him then?” Alex mumbled.

Liz shook her head in the negative pulling back from Alex to look him directly in the eye “it’s worse than that, I’ve fallen in love with him……”
“Oh Liz what are you going to do?” he questioned resisting the urge to tell her I ‘told you so’ this was just as he predicted.

Liz kept her gaze locked with Alex “I’m going to resign” she whispered “and get as far away from Max Evans as possible” she sobbed her face tilting downwards as the full wait of her grief was unleashed. All Alex could do was hold her……

“We need to talk..”

He turned his gaze away from the window and fixed it on Liz as she stood across the room her back pressed against the door. Last night had been one full of revelations, he had searched his soul and heart and found that Liz Parker had taken residence in both but looking at her now he couldn’t help the swell of anger he felt at her treatment of him. “Have you come back to embarrass me some more huh Liz?”

Liz's arms folded against her chest defensively " Believe me you have no comprehension of true embarrassment" she replied her eyes glazing over for a split second as she was catapulted back to the night that had started this chain of events.

"And I suppose you do right?" Max replied bitterly he couldn’t help but be angered by her attitude, of course she would have to hold monopoly on embarrassment.

Liz's head snapped towards him her cheeks flushing in anger, it was time Max Evans knew a few home truths "tell me something Max when you chose me for this job did you even bother to check out my credentials or was my physical appearance enough to sway you?"

Max shrugged his shoulders "I don't see what this has to do with anything" he stated simply.
"It's everything!" Liz growled her emotions and patience clearly frayed "if you had bothered to look you would have realized that we went to the same college."
Max shook his head in confusion "I still don't see-" he started.
"And that we were in the same year" Liz replied softly as she eyed Max.

"That’s just not possible I would remember you- Oh God" Max said quietly; he visibly paled as recognition dawned "I can't believe I didn't realize it was you!"
A false chuckle tumbled from Liz's lips but did little to mask the pain she really felt "well you hardly knew I was alive then so why would it be any different now."
Max moved forward griping her arms in a gentle firmness "that’s not true Liz, I knew who you where, I mean we almost..." Max trailed off his jaw clenching at past memories, past hurts none his own.
"Almost being the operative word,” Liz replied as she escaped from his hold "if I remember you left me sitting naked in my dorm room telling me to forget that anything happened, that I was just a one night stand!" Liz seethed anger and resentment emanating from the depths of her eyes.


Max swallowed past the lump in his throat "Liz" he offered softly reaching out for a way to ease the hurt.
Liz ignored Max's plea her eyes clouding with tears as she continued to release seven years of harbored emotion "My friends warned me that you were no good, that you were a player and I knew you had a love em and leave em reputation, but I saw past all that, told myself that you were just afraid, that’s why you treated people the way you did. That whole hurt don't get hurt thing. I was crazy..."
"Liz please" Max managed to choke out, distressed by her mounting upset.
"I offered you something special that night Max, something no one had ever had before and you threw it back in my face" she sobbed barely containing the tears that wanted to betray her.
She flinched as Max moved forward stopping him in his tracks "don't touch me."


Max felt his heart clench as he watched her fight to regain her composure, he hadn't expected her revelation but on hindsight it had been plainly evident. Liz Parker hadn't humiliated and pushed him away because of his reputation or constant pursuit but because she wanted revenge. He ached at the thought of having caused such pain that even after all this time the wounds of his miscalculated actions were still fresh.
"Liz you've got it all wrong" Max pleaded, "Please just give me a chance to explain."

"No! This is my time Max; you need to understand what you did to me that night. You have to know so that you never hurt anyone in that way again,” Liz stated firmly.
Her gaze locked on Max penetrating him to his very core "you broke me that night Max, I lost faith in myself. It's taken me along time to like what I see in the mirror first thing in the morning." she smiled bitterly moving past him to look down over the city. "You know I was always a hopeless romantic always waiting for my prince charming and can you believe I actually thought it was you. I foolishly believed that if someone showed you what it felt like to be loved, I mean really loved not for the popularity or the reputation but just for you that you'd be able to love back, be able to love me back."
A single tear escaped gliding slowly down Liz's cheek as she turned to face Max "but I learn't the hard way that fairytales were just that, made up stories to shield you from the harsh reality, I stopped believing in love that day too."

"Liz please you have to let me try to explain" Max pleaded helplessly, a panicked sense welling from the pit of his stomach. He couldn't fathom why but this felt like finale closure, an infinite goodbye he was not willing to comply with.
"There's nothing to explain Max, I've said my piece gotten the closure I need" Liz replied flatly.
"Damn you well I haven't, I'm not going let you go like this, with this distorted view of events" Max said frustration marring his features.
"You've no choice in the matter, I resign we'll be out of each others lives by the end of the day" and with that said Liz bolted from the office leaving a stunned Max Evans but only for a second before he was straight out the door in pursuit determined to make known to Liz Parker how he really felt.

Part Fifteen

“Liz wait!”

Max watched in dismay as she drew further and further away from him, he could barley keep up with her pace as they weaved precariously through rows of office cubicles and with each step she took he felt his future happiness slip through his fingers a little more. He felt numbed by her revelation; he supposed that he should muster up enough emotion to feel angry but in his heart he knew that her treatment of him was nothing short of what he deserved.

For how many years had he used an endless stream of women in such a way? How many hopes and dreams had he dashed with his need for physical satiation? His rule of non emotional commitment had been blown out of the water when Liz Parker had stepped across the threshold of his office and he would be damned to hell if he let her walk out of his life without putting up a fight for her.

“Liz please wait!”


Liz was not oblivious to the mounting interest of her co workers, she was certain that Max Evans had never ran after a woman in his entire life and surely everyone in the office knew the same thing.
“Please don’t do this, nothing you have to say is going to change this or make it go away,” Liz offered over her shoulder in a desperate attempt to contain the situation. The fact that he had came after her was a total shock to the system, she had expected him to shrug his shoulders and move on to the next warm body but there was such a desperate quality toward his requests for her to stop and she was utterly terrified by what that might mean.

Max pursued her relentlessly her resigned attitude spurring him on “will you at least give me a chance to put my side of the story forward?”

Hesitating on the threshold of her office she turned to face him a look of forced indifference setting her features as she waved him forward “okay I’m listening.”
She felt her heart hammer in her chest as he swept past her into her office, she didn’t know if she was prepared for what he had to say but the sadist in her wanted to her his loathing and recriminations.

He stood rooted in the center of the room, his mind a whirl of thoughts and feelings that he desperately wanted to convey “what happened between us back in college I can understand why you’d thought that I’d deliberately set out to hurt you, I handled the situation badly.”

“That’s an understatement!” Liz seethed her eyes narrowing in anger; she realized then that he had followed her not to apologize for his treatment of her but to defend his actions.

Max stepped forward slightly in an attempt to bridge the physical and emotional gulf dividing them “I didn’t purposely hurt you Liz that was never my intention” he stated with a sincerity that he didn’t know he was capable of.

She raised her eyes to meet his, her arms folding against her middle in comfort as she voiced aloud the question that had plagued her since that fateful night “so what happened did you just decide that I repulsed you physically?” she murmured breathlessly almost afraid to hear the answer.

Max’s head shook furiously in denial “no don’t ever think that, I wanted you more that night than I’d ever wanted any woman” he replied his voice cracking with intense emotion. It was difficult to speak so frankly about his feelings, he was overwhelmed by the veracity of his emotions and didn’t fully know how to convey all that he felt.

Liz could feel herself flushing and tears threatened, partly through relief, she had expected him to admit that he had been disgusted with her. “Then why did you leave?” she questioned needing to hear his full explanation, finally willing to let him try and explain if he could. Too long had she let this plague her life and she was tired, tired of the questions and tired of feeling inadequate.

Liz sank heavily onto the couch beside the window, her gaze flickering to Max as he shuffled closer, staring transfixedly out over the city “back there in my office you said that you’d offered me something that no one else had ever had. You were trusting me with your heart that night and I didn’t deserve it” he stated firmly.
“What are you trying to say Max?” she whispered her eyes resting upon the floor as he pinned her with an intense stare.

“I couldn’t hurt you Liz and that’s what would have happened if we’d slept together” Max replied sadly.

“But you still did” she quipped.

Max smiled thinly as he flopped down beside her “like I said I handled the situation badly…but If I could go back I’d do the same thing over” he stated with conviction.

Liz’s head whipped towards him her brow crumpling in confusion “what?”

His stomach knotted in regret, as he looked upon her “You deserved more than I had to offer, I couldn’t give you what you needed.”

“And what was it that I needed?” she asked softly.

“Love” he stated without hesitation, the word rolling so easily from his tongue that he was taken aback “and that’s one thing I couldn’t give, I didn’t think I was capable of…. until now.”

Liz sprang to her feet towering over Max “no you don’t know how to love” she stated resolutely her head shaking in denial of his admission.

Max shook his head coyly as he moved towards her “wrong, very wrong.”

She backed up as he advanced forward “this is crazy” she murmured trying not to lose herself in his eyes.

He stared at her for along time, watching the anger in her eyes, and the pain, and the hope. “I know you don’t believe me, but I can prove it to you. You can’t believe what you see. But you can believe… what you feel. I’ve been thinking about this since you came back into my life.”

Liz bit her lip nervously “and what exactly is this?”

Max cupped Liz’s face between his hands, gazing deeply into her eyes as he stated simply “Love, this is love.”

Her eyes flickered closed reveling in the feel of his strong hands stroking rhymically across her cheek “This is crazy. We’d never get along. I mean, look at us we’re always fighting.”

“Foreplay” Max bantered his mouth twisting into an impish grin and despite all attempts Liz found herself smiling too.

He ran his fingers through her hair gliding across her cheek before the tip of a finger rested on her full lips “I’ve never meet anyone like you. You’re totally unique, compelling.”


Liz trembled under his touch “it’s not as simple as I love you Max, I might feel things too but there’s no trust.”

“Then let me try to earn your trust, all I want is a chance Liz,” he pleaded hoping that he’d managed to soften her heart.

“If we do this it’s on my terms, I can’t get hurt like that again…” she broke off her eyes clouding for a second before she returned her gaze to Max “I’ll give you a chance….. I’ll give us a chance.”

For a long breathless moment they stood still, staring deeply into each other. Max felt his heart race as he encircled her in his embrace. She was in that moment, the comfort, and the warmth he craved, the expression of the aching need in him and so he kissed her, a searing kiss not of lust but of love.


Max pulled her body flush against his, he wanted to feel every part of her, Liz Parker was a sea and through that one kiss he was happily drowning. Pulling away they gasped for air, foreheads touching as their bodies calmed. Max turned his flushed face into Liz’s cheek his grip tightening “Let’s live in the present Liz, let the past die its own death. I’m goina restore your faith in love Liz Parker, make you believe that fairytales really do come true.”

Turning suddenly she twisted her face to stare up into his, a small smile playing on her lips as she replied despite her better judgment, “I think I’m already starting” before locking her lips to his……..

Part Sixteen



Liz glanced nervously around the bustling café a Luke warm coffee cup clutched firmly between her fingers.
She chanced a covert glance at Alex as he studied the menu; she felt a flutter in her stomach at the prospect of telling him about Max.

For three weeks she’d managed to keep it from him, fearing how he’d react but now was the moment of truth, an opportunity to get everything out in the open whilst she had the courage and at least in public Alex would have to restrain or mute his response.

“Alex?” Liz ventured pausing until she was certain she had his full attention “now before I go on you have to promise your not going to over react okay?”

“Okay I promise even though I’m probably goina regret it….so what gives Parker?”

She clutched the coffee mug a little tighter, squirming under Alex’ intent gaze “Max and I” she started before wavering her eyes darting to the tabletop then back to Alex “we’re seeing each other and it’s not just sexual, we’re involved”

Liz held her breath in nervous anticipation of his response “well aren’t you going to say something, anything?” she asked impatiently wanting to get Alex’s tirade over and done with.

Alex smiled briefly shrugging nonchalantly as he reached for the menu again “I already knew” he stated matter of factly.

Liz’s jaw dropped she had not been expecting that revelation “what?” she managed to choke out past her vastly constricting throat.

Alex clucked his tongue grinning impishly as he spoke “I’ve known from the get go, I just thought I’d wait until you grew a pair and told me yourself.”

Liz shook her head in an attempt to clear the haze and process this new information, oh how the tables had turned “let me get this straight Alex, you’ve known all along and you’ve let me agonize over how I was going to tell you?” she exclaimed in disbelief her voice raising a notch.

“Yep” Alex replied immensely enjoying Liz’s ruffled state of mind.

Liz eyed Alex baffled by his seeming lack of interest or reaction “and now that I’ve told you, what do you think of this whole situation?”

“Does it really matter what I think” he replied flatly “after all it is your life.”
Liz reached across the table gripping Alex’s hand firmly, smiling when he met her eyes “of course it matters you’re the closest thing to family that I’ve got Alex.”

He returned a smile, warmed by Liz’s words “well in that case I think Max Evans is a grade A dick!”

Liz laughed lightly swatting Alex’s hand as he grinned slyly “I was prepared for that.”

“I also think that a leopard never changes its spots and your goina wind up nursing a broken heart.”

“Thought you’d say that” Liz replied pushing against the gnawing doubt that he could be right.

“And lastly I think, no I know that I’ve never seen you as happy as you’ve been these past few weeks.”

“Huh?” Liz offered any intelligent verbalization fleeing her mind at his comment; Alex had really thrown her for a loop with that one. “Who are you and what have you done with the real Alex Whitman?”

Alex grinned disarmingly his head tilting slightly to one side as he pondered his answer “I don’t know, I don’t like Evans and I sure as hell don’t trust him but he makes you happy right?”

Liz felt her heart surge just at the mere thought of Max, the brief time they had spent together as a couple had been magical, he was sweet, considerate and attentive to her feeling and needs, in a word he’d been perfect.
“Yeah I am happy….I’m not sure I’m completely convinced that this is going to last but I’m willing to work at it. All I ask is that you give Max a chance to prove himself, after all if I can so could you.”

Alex took one look at Liz’s hope filled face and melted, he was such a sucker. Groaning he raised his hands in submission “Okay I’ll give the guy a chance but it’s not like we’re goina be best buds or anything….I still haven’t forgotten that whole gay name incident.”

Liz smiled proudly at her best friend she’d really lucked out in the friend stakes having someone like Alex in her life “have I told you how fantastic you are and how much I love you?”

“Not lately” Alex quipped while gesturing for a waitress.

Alex waited until Liz visibly relaxed before asking “So you had sex yet?” He couldn’t contain his laughter as Liz spluttered choking on her coffee; if she thought she was off the hook she had another thing coming…








Liz barely had time to take in her surroundings before she was pulled briskly through the apartment door, her body melding to Max as he seized her lips in a searing kiss.
“God I’ve missed you,” he panted urgently clutching her face between his palms.

Liz smiled at the seriousness in his voice “Max you saw me today at the office” she glanced quickly at her watch “exactly two hours ago.”

Max’s gaze lowered “I know but even that’s too long a time to be apart from you.”

Liz felt her heart skip a beat as her gaze locked with Max’s, the loving adoration openly on display in his amber eyes made her go weak at the knee’s “I feel the same way” she whispered her eyes never wavering from his.

Max kissed her softly before leading her more fully into his apartment “so what do you think?” he asked raising his hands in a sweeping motion “does the place meet with your approval?”

Liz turned full circle her eyes moving casually around the sparsely decorated apartment “this place defines the term bachelor” she joked moving past Max to look out over the city “but I like it.”


Max moved forward his hands gliding across Liz’s abdomen as he encircled her waist his mouth resting close to her ear “yeah the views not bad either.”

“It’s beautiful” Liz breathed in awe of the twinkling lights of the Manhattan skyline.

“But not as beautiful as you Miss Parker” Max teased as he turned her in his arms.

Liz reddened slightly despite her best attempts to keep the hot flush at bay, she still hadn’t gotten used to being complimented, deciding to change the subject she fixed Max with a stern look “I thought you’d invited me to dinner?”

“I did.”

“Well I can’t smell anything cooking” Liz replied suspiciously “I hope it’s not just me on the menu.”

Max feigned innocence, a wicked smile betraying him “oh don’t worry Liz your not the main course” he replied moving towards her like a hunter stalking it’s prey, getting ready to go in for the kill “your just the dessert.”

Liz bit her lip to suppress a pleasurable groan as Max kissed her neck languidly, dessert couldn’t come quick enough “maybe we should skip straight to afters” she teased as Max took her hand leading her towards the balcony.

“There’s no rush, we’ve got the whole night…. Now close your eyes.”

Liz looked questioningly at Max as he blocked her view of the balcony “what’s going on Max?”

Max laughed softly his head shaking slightly “must you always be so inquisitive, just this once couldn’t you do something without arguing?”

“No” she replied sulkily.

“Just close your eyes, it’s a surprise.”

Liz complied letting Max guide her along “okay but be warned I don’t like surprises.”

“Well you better start liking them because I don’t intend to stop surprising you….open your eyes.”

“Max…” Liz breathed taking in the scene before her, the balcony was awash with candles bathing the champagne picnic in a golden hue, a large bouquet of white roses caught her attention as Max held them towards her.
Taking them she smiled in appreciation “It’s perfect Max, no ones’ ever done anything like this for me before.”

“I told you that I was going to restore your faith in fairy tales and I meant that Liz, I’m determined to make this work.”

“Oh Max I want things to work out between us too, but you don’t have to try so hard” Liz replied earnestly.

Max smiled lovingly as he placed a tender kiss to her palm “that’s were your wrong Liz I do have to try because I’ve never tried to work at a relationship before… I’ve never wanted to until now- I love you Liz.”

Liz felt the tears well in her eyes, she felt an overwhelming sense of joy and relief at knowing Max wanted this as much as she did “and I love you Max.”

Max pressed his lips gently to her mouth letting her soft tresses glide through his fingers as he pulled her closer.
Their mouths caressed each other lovingly, gone was the earlier urgency and in its place was tenderness.

The food was forgotten as they tumbled on to the blanket never breaking the kiss’ both knowing that this is were their love would be sealed, were they’d make love to each other for the first time under the watchful gaze of the stars.

Chapter Seventeen

Max pulled back breathlessly, reluctant to loose complete contact with Liz. He rested his lips against her forehead as his labored breathing calmed "Liz are you sure about this? because if you aren't ready we can stop at any time..."


Liz's head swished fervently as her hand came to rest on Max's chest "I've never been more ready for anything in my whole entire life" she murmured seductively pushing Max further to the blanketed ground "I want you to make love to me Max."


An audible hiss escaped his lips as Liz settled above him brushing lightly against his erection "well if you insist" he smiled innocently veining nonchalance. He reached out pulling Liz flush against his heated body his voice thick with emotion "I can't tell you how much I've wanted this Liz- lets forget our past history and make some new memories starting tonight."


Liz stroked his cheek gently with her finger tips as she kissed him softly on the lips "that sounds like a plan."


Max clutched her body gently rolling them until their positions changed and he rested above her. He watched her flushed cheeks and parted lips in awe of the beauty before him "you’re so beautiful" he murmured reaching to touch the curtain of dark hair that fanned out behind her.


Max flattened himself against Liz his face burrowing in her scented hair. He felt Liz shift slightly perhaps in surprise as his lips made contact with her ear.
He felt a shiver run through her as he suckled and kissed his way down her slender neck to the valley between her breasts.

"Max" Liz hissed as she felt his warm hand glide through the buttons of her blouse to cup her breast. She gasped as he toyed and teased her nipples into peaks feeling an intense wave of pleasure crash through her body, shaking her to the core as his hot moist mouth clamped around her. She fleetingly wondered how the removal of her blouse had escaped her attention as she drew Max closer to her bosom clutching roughly at his dark locks as he evoked feelings and reactions within her body she had never experienced before.

Max suckled her breast harder spurred on by her encouraging whimpers of pleasure; he couldn't get enough of her soft flesh, her scent, her taste. He wanted to devour Liz Parker, to have her envelope and fill him completely in the ways he knew only she could.

Liz felt her body tighten in anticipation, she had regained some semblance of control and had proceeded to work at the buttons on Max's clothing, her hands roaming freely in abandon over his sculptured torso and tort muscles.


She pressed her body closer to him as they kissed heatedly, loving the feel of his naked skin against hers. She reached lower her hand moving blindly between their insistent grinding bodies to gently cup Max's manhood.
It jerked and stood proud under her scrutinizing grip, her hand clamped tighter around him moving in a fluid motion.


Max groaned his approval "oh God Liz" he panted against her lips as her hand moved in a furious motion over his ever hardening member "I want you Liz."


"I want you too" she rasped feeling her skirt slide down her thighs her panties following suite shortly after. "I need you Max, God I need you right now" she breathed her voice lust filled, she pulled Max flat against her.

Their eyes and lips locked as Max moved gently into her body, they started a slow rhythm bodies melding together moving in a unison of mutual pleasure and of love and for the first time as Max gave himself over completely to Liz he could say that he honestly knew for the first time in his life what it felt like to make love, what it felt like to be in love....



Part Eighteen

Who would have thought that watching someone sleep could be such an emotional and enthralling event? Certainly not Max Evans, he'd never been the type of man to stick around for the after show but watching Liz cuddled against his chest in slumber had been the most loving and tender experience in his life to date. The previous night had been everything he'd never dared hope for, it hadn't been a mere physical interaction but a mating of souls, body and spirit had intermingled melding until he couldn't distinguish where each left off. He'd poured every ounce of love and raw feeling into his love making, leaving no doubt as to his intentions; from the moment Max had felt himself move within Liz's body he knew that there could be no other, Liz Parker occupied every square inch of his heart and soul.


"Good morning" Max murmured as he saw Liz's eyes flicker open, he couldn't resist reaching forward a hand to sweep back a wayward tendril "I actually thought I'd have to start jiggling the bed to rouse you."

She smiled through a yawn "well after last nights activities I needed the rest" Liz replied rolling her body until she was flush against Max, her mouth latching to his for a chaste kiss.

He smiles against her lips "you don't need to tell me, I have pains in areas of my body I didn't know could hurt!"

Liz sighed dramatically rolling her eyes "no stamina that's the problem"
She murmured seductively climbing up Max's body, her pert breasts resting level with his eyes "where as I on the other hand could go for a repeat performance..."
Max closed his eye's reining his heated body under control “well as much as I would like that too it's completely out of the question."

Liz froze momentarily stung by his words, recovering she pushed herself upwards wrapping the bed sheets around her body as best she possibly could.

Noticing the sudden change in Liz's demeanor Max reached forward stilling her movements further "no Liz" he tilted her chin so that their gazes locked "I'm sorry that didn't come out right what I meant to say was that although there is nowhere else in the universe I'd rather be than here in this bed making love with you, we can't....I've made plans for us."


Liz's brow furrowed “what sort of plans?" Max really did know how to keep her on her toes, just when she thought she had him pegged he'd go and turn all her notions upside down.

"I know you say you don't like surprises, but trust me when I say you'll like this one" Max drank in the curious gleam in Liz's eye, despite her best attempts to act nonchalant he could tell she was excited, he just hoped everything would work out as he'd planned.


Liz hopped up and down impatiently on the front steps of her apartment building "come on Max put me out of my misery" she'd been apprehensive when Max had insisted she let him cover her eyes, dread and wonder filled her in equal measure but she knew in her heart that whatever Max had planned she'd love it, however it would take time to adapt to such gestures of affection.
"Patience is a virtue you are sorely lacking in Liz" Max scoffed, nerves were starting to eat him up. What if she didn't like what he had planned after all? What if she thought he was trying to bowl her over with grande gestures? To Max this symbolized the start of a life long bond, when he'd told Liz that day in her office that he was going to restore her faith in fairytales, he'd meant it.
"Okay you can open your eyes."

Liz's hand flew to her mouth as she gasped at the display before her "Max- I can't Believe-how did?-" her words trailed off as she admired the gold gilded horse drawn carriage, it was just like something out of a fairytale...

Max beamed at Liz "I know it's not a white charger and I'm certainly no knight in shining armor but this is as close to a fairytale as I could manage.”



Liz flung her arms around Max's waist, her face burrowing into his shoulder as she tried to suppress tears of joy, she's never been so moved, and it touched her to the very core to think that Max would go to these lengths just for her. He might not think of himself as a knight in Shining armor but he was to her and so much more...piece by piece he was restoring her faith in love and fairytales.

"Max this is the most amazing thing anyone's ever done for me" Liz choked out as a stray tear coursed down her cheek.

Max brushed it away "hey, hey I wanted you to like this but I didn't want to move you to tears."


Liz laughed curtly feeling acutely embarrassed at her emotional display "I'm sorry.. I can't help it, you'll never know how much this means to me" she whispered falling in love with Max just a little more which was a feat in itself.

"That's were your wrong Liz, it means exactly the same thing to me too."

In that moment Liz knew that Max was sincere in his words, who would have known that Max was such a romantic? "Well are we just goina stand here on the sidewalk and admire or actually go for a ride in this baby?" Liz teased.

Max clasped her hand tenderly between his own "after you..." In that instant he vowed that everyday would be a fairytale come to life for Liz and he.

Note: To everyone who has been reading along and patiently waiting for an update on my stories you all have my heartfelt apologies. The last month or so has been a pretty bleak time for me and I have neither had the inclination or time to commit words to paper. Thankfully things are looking up and RL is returning to normal so I can get back to writing. Sorry for the long winded note but I just felt you all deserved an explanation for my absence. Anyway here’s the next part…


Part Nineteen



Maria observed Max from a discreet distance, for the past two months coming to work had been like stepping into a loop in time, one of those soppy 1950's iconic Hollywood movies, where her role was the secretarial confidant to the love sick boss, in this case Max Evans.


Some mornings she half expected him to tap dance across the office space reminiscent of Fred Astaire, and Liz well she was just as stricken. She practically floated around the place on a fluffy white cloud barely veiling her joy at being Max's counterpart in the love stakes.



Maria giggled girlishly despite herself as Max swept into Liz's office oblivious to all else around him, especially the disgruntled expressions of two thirds of the working populous.


Max's open displays of adoration toward Liz had caused many a soured look and comment. The water cooler becoming the prime location for the daily bitch fests that had started since Max and Liz's relationship had become public knowledge.


Maria's hand rubbed absently across her abdomen as snatches of conversation ran through her mind, on more than one occasion she'd given one of Max's past conquests a dressing down. It made her insides boil to think of the vindictive things they had said about Liz, who had fast become a firm friend.



The personal attacks on Liz's character stemmed from jealousy, no one at the office could comprehend that she had been the one to turn Max Evans from player to husband material. Max had sent many hearts a flutter in his time and Maria knew that women being women they all thought they'd be the ones to change him.



Maria smiled as she remembered what Liz had said to her when she'd told her about the poisonous gossips, of course Max had been furious at the mere thought of any slight on Liz's character but Liz had just smiled and shrugged nonchalantly and said "sticks and stones Maria, when all's said and done I'm the one going home with Max at the end of the day."



Maria sent a silent prayer of thanks to the heavens for depositing Liz Parker in her best friend’s life. She'd been shocked by Max's revelation about his past connection with Liz but if she were honest not much surprised by it.


Max had done a lot of 'lovin' along the way and it was just a matter of time before someone exacted revenge. The fact that it had been Liz didn't change Maria's admiration for her; in fact it went up several notches when Liz had divulged all the juicy details of Max's planned humiliation. Maria had decided that Liz was a woman after her own heart and their friendship had been cemented.



She cast her eyes toward Liz's office peals of laughter bubbling from her lips as she saw Max scurry toward the window to close the blinds "Love sick fool......"




Liz felt an uncontrollable urge to grin when Max made a dash for the window. She had resolutely refused to give him a kiss on the basis that everyone could see them and it was highly unprofessional to fraternize at work.


He had looked at her dejectedly before zooming across the office and drawing the blinds, effectively blinkering them from the world.


Max smiled ruefully stalking his way back toward Liz "now that solves the problem of prying eyes" he clutched her gently around the waist drawing her into the circle of his body before nuzzling her neck.


He smiled against her skin when he heard her sigh “but can you see your way clear to overlooking the whole unprofessional" his mouth traveled in a line from the base of her throat to her earlobe “fraternizing at work thing.." he murmured a hairs breath from her ear.



Liz shuddered involuntarily she knew it was futile to protest, Max had a way of turning his desires into a burning need within her. She felt his hands winding through her hair and when his palms finally came to flank her face tenderly she knew she was lost "I think I could overlook it just this once."



"You’re too kind Miss Parker..." Max inched forward his lips pressing against hers gently the soft moan escaping from her lips affording him the opportunity to emerge his tongue within the sweet recesses of her mouth.


Liz felt desire engulf her as Max continued his ministrations on her mouth, she hungrily welcomed the teasing stroke of his tongue and the graze of his teeth.... she'd never tire of the feel of his mouth slanting against hers. She clutched at his shirt her fingers flexing against the soft material in an attempt to feel his hot skin.


Max broke the kiss long enough to shrug out of his jacket, he watched intently as Liz worked at unknotting his tie. His eyes traveled to her delicate hands as they adeptly began to unbutton his shirt, her mouth leaving a trail of kisses in her hands wake. Max felt an overwhelming flush of pride and love for the woman before him, there were times he had to do a double take just to convince himself that everything he experienced and felt with Liz was real and not just an extremely vivid erotic dream conjured from the depths of his mind,, sometimes what he felt was so intense he couldn't help but wonder if it where all imaginary.


The familiar feel of her body pressed against his and the feel of her sweet mouth against his skin in that moment seemed like the only real and true thing he'd ever known. Unable to bear the absence of her lips a moment longer he pulled her flush against him and reclaimed her mouth with his own.


Liz whimpered as his tongue stroked inside the recesses of her mouth, her want for him was almost at a fever pitch. She desperately struggled to free herself from the confines of her clothing much obliged when Max started to help her discard items of his clothing as well as her own.


Her breathe caught in her throat as Max eased her down against her desk, his eyes burning with such intense love and desire that she felt choked up and humbled. It bowled her over to think that such a man could want and love her in such measure.


Max closed his eyes and savored the feel of their joined bodies, he had made love with Liz countless times since they'd begun their relationship but each time she drew him inside her supple body always felt like the first. He knew that the sensations she evoked would never dull and never grow tiresome. They began a slow rhyme, mouths and bodies mimicking in tandem.


"I love you Liz" Max murmured against her neck enraptured by her fragrant skin.


"I love you too Max.....so much!" she managed to gasp before she gave herself over entirely to the haze of desire...............

Part Twenty


Max thought that the desire radiating throughout his body was due to a very vivid and very erotic dream but the feel of a soft warm tongue snaking languidly along his throbbing erection jolted him fully awake.


His eyes traveled to his waist and he couldn’t hold back the groan that rumbled in his throat as Liz took him fully into the recesses of her moist mouth. Her eyes moved to lock with his as her lips pulled on his erection, her tongue circling its sensitized head before releasing him with a pop.


“Finally you’re awake…” she sighed her nose and lips nuzzling his hip bone.


He caressed her cheek and beckoned her to him, his lips coaxing her own in a good morning kiss.
“That was some wake up call..” he murmured his tongue sweeping the sweet fullness of her mouth.


She captured his probing tongue between her teeth and sucked it in and out of her mouth, smiling she broke away from him and smoothed back his sleep tousled hair “I just thought that this morning I’d do to you what you did to me yesterday.”


Max returned the wicked smile playing on her lips “but I finished what I started…”


Liz pressed her naked body flat against his and whispered in his ear “and who says I’m not going to?”


Max hissed as she licked the shell of his ear, feeling his erection harden even further he thrust his lower body against hers in a desperate bid to alleviate the fire in his loins “Liz please..”


“Please what?” she whispered licking and biting her way down his throat to his chest “what do you need Max?”


He was frustrated beyond belief by her teasing ministrations “I need you to touch me.”


Liz sucked a taut nipple into her mouth flexing her tongue in circles over its hardness “I am touching you.” She knew that it was wicked of her to tease him like this but she just couldn’t help herself.


“Not like that” he murmured biting back a groan as she wracked her teeth over him. He didn’t know how much longer he could restrain himself, if Liz didn’t relieve his suffering soon he was sure he would lose all self restraint and just flip her beneath him and claim her body for his own.


Liz placed a kiss to his chest before raising her face to his “then how do you want me to touch you Max, tell me?”


Max grasped her hand in his own “I’ll show you..” he trailed their joined hands down his chest until they reached his throbbing erection. He clamped Liz’s hand around his heated flesh and then placed his hand over hers to hold it in place “I want you to touch me here” he rumbled.


Liz moved her hand gently up and down his length “like this..” she smiled in satisfaction at his answering groan and thrusting against her hand. She bit her lip to keep from laughing at the string of expletives Max was currently rhyming off due to the loss of her hand from his erection. She waited until he squeezed his eyes shut in frustration before placing her mouth where her hand had been only seconds before. She nuzzled her nose against him her tongue swirling the head of his penis “or do you want me to touch you like this?”


“Hell yeah” Max groaned as she licked and sucked his flesh, his fingers tangled in her soft hair as he guided her mouth up and down “Liz that feels so great.”


Liz couldn’t take enough of him into her mouth, she was greedy for each moan of pleasure she was able to elicit from him “umm Max you taste so good”


Max thrashed his head against the pillow, he wanted to cry out at the intensity of what he was feeling “Liz I don’t think I’ll last must longer” he panted clutching the bed sheets tightly in his balled up fists.


Liz already knew that Max was close, she felt him swell and harden even further as her lips and tongue moved over him “its okay baby I want you to come for me” she mumbled never losing contact with his flesh “come for me now Max.”


With a harsh yell of Liz’s name and one final thrust into her mouth he did what she had demanded and came. He turned his face into the pillow and tried to calm his breathing, Liz had still not relinquished him from her mouth. She held his softening flesh in her mouth, her tongue swirling around its tip.


Once Max had regained his senses he turned his head toward her and caressed the crown of her down turned head. He could already feel himself hardening again under Liz’s expert mouth. Reaching for her hands he yanked her up his body and placed a sound kiss against her lips “that was incredible….thank you.”


Liz licked her lips and smiled wickedly “no thank you, I think I enjoyed that even more than you did.”


Max smiled and trailed a hand across her cheek, down the slender column of her neck and then over her breast “I bet I could do something for you that you’d enjoy just as much” his hand traveled lower gliding past curls and into her warm moist flesh “maybe even more.”


Liz groaned and pushed down on Max’s hand as his fingers moved in and out of her body in a torturous rhythm “oh Max I want you inside me”


Max grinned wickedly determined to pay her back for her earlier teasing “but I am inside you” he murmured thrusting another finger inside her to demonstrate his point “see...you can feel that can’t you Liz?”


“Oh yes!” she hissed grinding into his hand wantonly, desperate to dispel her frustration.
“I can feel it but that’s not the part of your anatomy I want to feel inside me” she moaned.


Max had to bite back a groan, so much for holding out on her like she had on him “what do you want to feel then?” he gasped his thumb swirling over her clitoris as his fingers moved in unison with her undulating hips.


Liz reached between their bodies and extracted Max’s hand, she hovered over him her eyes darkened with desire. She smiled and caressed his jaw her eyes locking with his she murmured “here I’ll show you..”


They both cried out as she slammed down on his erection, they moved at a furious pace her slick flesh drawing him into her over and over.
“Your right” Liz groaned as Max hit a particularly sensitive spot “I am enjoying this more…”

Part Twenty One


“I really love Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Liz murmured as the credits began to roll.

Max continued his assault, raining kisses over the creamy expanse of her throat “yeah I love it too…”

Liz arched her neck to give him better access to perform his ministrations “Oh please you didn’t watch one second of the film. Your face has been glued to my neck for the past two hours.”

Max ran his tongue the length of her neck before placing a gentle nip at her shoulder, he couldn’t help but smile at her whimper of pleasure “are you complaining?”

Liz looped her arms around his neck, her fingers threading through his hair to hold his mouth tighter to her “no I’m most definitely not complaining but you really did miss a great flick.”

“Well I was kinda more interested in flicking my tongue all over your sweet body” he murmured his tongue moving in a circle toward her ear.

Liz couldn’t stop the involuntary shiver that ran through her, if truth be told she had barely seen one second of the film herself. It was hard to breathe let alone focus your eyes when Max Evans was working his magic on you.

Max nuzzled her ear and kissed it tenderly his mouth lingering against it he whispered “anyway I prefer ‘breakfast at Liz’s’…..especially when it’s Liz that’s on the menu.”

Liz pulled Max to her in a hard kiss, her tongue slipping in and out of his mouth and across his lower lip “Breakfast at Max’s isn’t half bad either…”

“Max!” Liz shrieked as he took her unawares and swept her off the couch, she wrapped her legs around his waist to keep from falling “what are you doing?”

Max came to a stop and placed Liz gently on top of the kitchen table; smiling wickedly he caressed Liz’s cheek his fingers tangling in her hair “I thought we could have a late breakfast.”

Liz arched a perfectly shaped brow at his suggestion “at 8.30 at night?”

Max nodded his head slowly as he eased her back against the table “look we even have condiments” he said gesturing to the sugar bowl and jam pot at the centre of the table.

Liz gasped as she felt Max’s hand slide underneath her tank top, his fingers splaying across her abdomen before creeping toward her breast.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this” Liz giggled as she pulled her tank over her head and dropped it to the floor with a flourish.

Max watched hungrily as she arched her back causing her breasts to jut into his hands.
Leaning over her he claimed her mouth with his own, his tongue thrusting and tangling with hers.

He pulled away from her and picked up the sugar bowl and scooped a generous helping onto the spoon and then hovering above her he began to sprinkle the brown granules over her throat, breasts and navel.

“Hmm this is going to get very messy you know” Liz moaned as Max ground his hips into hers.

Max smiled against her lips “don’t worry I’ll clean it all up” he murmured suggestively before taking a sugar dusted nipple into his mouth.

“Oh God Max!” Liz hissed as she felt his warm tongue swept over her nipple and around the circle of her breast. Max’s tongue and the rough texture of the sugar made for a heady mix so she did the only thing she could do, she clutched him more firmly to her “Please don’t stop..” she whispered.

Max had absolutely no intentions of stopping; he moved his ministrations to Liz’s other breast her soft whimpers and moans spurring him on. His tongue traveled the path between the valley of her breasts and circled over the plains of her stomach. He was meticulous in his actions, no sprinkle of sugar going unchecked.

Liz thrashed wantonly against Max’s jean clad erection “Max I want you inside me...” she cried in frustration, rising off the table slightly to cup him through his jeans.

“Liz...” Max groaned as her delicate hand snaked its way into his jeans and clamped around his erection, she pumped him impatiently the tip of her thumb circling the head of his penis.
“Liz if you don’t stop doing that right this minute I won’t be responsible for my actions” he panted his face pressing into the hollow of her throat.

“You promise...” she murmured her thumb circling his head once again.

Her actions broke Max and he crashed his mouth against hers, his tongue pushing past her lips as she cried out in delighted surprise.

They clawed at each others clothing desperate to be free of their confines so that they could be joined.

“I want you so much” Max whispered as he eased Liz back against the table, bracing his arms on either side of her thighs he gently eased them apart and thrust into her.

“Yes!” Liz hissed as she felt Max’s powerful thrusts, she took him deeper within her body her ankles hooking around his buttocks.

Max kneaded Liz’s thighs as he hammered in and out of her body, she was so supple and inviting he knew he couldn’t hold out much longer. Reaching between their bodies he circled her clitoris and urged her on “come for me Liz…”

Liz felt her body tighten and with a cry of Max’s name she arched off the table as she found her release, Max’s own climax wasn’t long to follow.

Max fell to his knees and pressed his face against Liz’s stomach “that was incredible” he panted.

Liz hummed in agreement and threaded her fingers through his sweat soaked hair.

Nuzzling his nose against her stomach Max couldn’t hold back a chuckle “you know what this just reminds me of?” he asked.

“No what?”

Placing his cheek against her tummy he smiled before replying “Nine and a half weeks.”

“You mean the film?” Liz laughed.

“Yeah.”

Liz rolled her eyes at the comparison that Max had made between their love making and that movie, men honestly… “Hmm Mickey Rourke is a total hottie.”

Max pulled away from Liz and pierced her with a wounded look “what about ‘hmm Max Evans is a total hottie’” he pouted.

Liz giggled girlishly and then tried to placate him “oh baby I don’t have to tell you that you’re hot, you already know that you are.”

Max folded his arms against his t-shirt clad chest “You know Liz we like to hear you say it occasionally” he couldn’t help but smile at his teasing “I feel kind of insecure now.”

Liz beckoned Max up her body with a crook of her finger “what can I do to reassure you baby?”

Max placed a chaste kiss to her lips and smiling devilishly he picked up the jam pot and waved it playfully in front of Liz “well there is one thing….”
