Part Ten
About a month after the accident, Liz found herself under the strict care of “Dr. Alex Whitman”, whose areas of expertise included medicine administration, pillow adjustments, and being a pain in the ass. He’d been watching her like a hawk ever since the hospital had released her. And as good-natured as his intentions were, Liz was seconds away from strangling him and breaking free of her prison.
It was her own fault. She had been the one to opt to go home instead of spending an extra day or two at the hospital, and Alex had been at her side ever since. He was getting on every single one of her nerves, but she loved him for it.
“Liz, just where do you think you’re going?”
She froze. She had been caught red-handed trying to sneak from her bed downstairs. Apparently, invalids that were restricted to their beds didn’t get to keep their cell phones because they stopped you from getting rest. When Alex had gone to the bathroom she had made her move.
“I’m going downstairs, Alex,” she said, feigning innocence.
He knew what she had been trying to get, but he was doing his best to stop her from having her cell phone. He’d seen Max at the hospital and his over-protectiveness had kicked in especially after finding out that Officer Max’s wife had been responsible for Liz’s crash. If Alex had it his way Liz would forget about the doctor and not get hurt, but he knew that was impossible. His only choice was to do his best to dely the inevitable.
“What for?”
So, even though Liz knew Alex’s intentions were good, it didn’t mean she had to like it. He’d always been very protective of her, especially because he grew up an only child and lost both of his parents at a rather young age. Liz was really all that he had, and she knew the car accident had been a big scare for him. It had been a big scare for her too, and she knew how lucky she had been to not only survive the accident but to come out of it with the few injuries that she had.
The car accident had also given her what she had been hoping for. It had brought her and Max back together. Along with some much needed clarification. For days she had been confused about where she and Max stood, about what the things they had done had meant. Seeing Tess, knowing what she had done, did make her feel slightly better about what had happened between her and Max.
All she needed now was to talk to Max. Something she was trying to do, but it was being prevented by her overprotective best friend.
“I’m getting my phone, so I can call someone...” Liz replied coyly, not meeting Alex’s knowing eyes. She tried to shuffle past him but he stood in front of her. “I’m going to call Max.”
“Liz...”
“No, Alex. I know what I’m doing and I’m going to call him.”
“He’s a married man, Liz! He has a wife.” Okay, so this was true. Max did have a wife and what they had done was wrong. Alex was only worried about her and that’s why he was acting this way. He thought that Liz was going to get hurt because he didn’t know the truth about Max and Tess. Alex probably thought that she was getting attached to someone who was going to drop her when he was done with her and go back to his wife.
Liz knew all the arguments, but she also knew the other side of them. She knew that it was Tess who had been cheating on Max, and that there wasn’t a real marriage between the two of them. Max hadn’t told her all of this yet, but she had a feeling about this. That was why she wanted so badly to talk to Max.
She needed to hear all of this from him.
“Alex, you don’t understand.”
Liz tried to explain the situation to him, she told him everything that had been happening without most of the details, and tried her best to make him understand. When she was done, he just moved out of her way, not saying anything and went into the kitchen.
Liz followed after, grabbing her phone from the counter and retreating back to her room. Checking her missed calls, she realized that Max had already called her. She couldn’t keep the smile off of her face after that as she pressed the redial button.
Two rings later, the phone picked up and Liz heard his voice on the other line.
“Hello?”
“Max, it’s Liz.”
“Liz, hi! How are you feeling?” Something about the genuine concern in his voice made her heart beat just a little bit faster.
“I’m better, I’ve been under strict care so I’m doing good. I’m sorry it took me so long to call you back. I was thinking maybe we could meet somewhere...to talk.”
There was a pause on the other line, but it wasn’t hesitation. Max was too busy smiling to answer right away. He’d been worried about her for a week wanting nothing more than to talk to her. He’d been dangerously close to finding her address down at the station and driving over to her house just to see her, but Liz had explained that Alex was taking his job of being the doctor very seriously.
“That sounds great. I’ll come pick you up.”
****
An hour later, Max found himself at a small bed and breakfast outside of town. The restaurant downstairs had been a favorite place of his parents and Max wanted to bring Liz and share it with her.
She looked beautiful sitting across from him, and he didn’t know how he was managing to stay on his side of the table. He knew there were things they had to get out in the open before they could be together again, but the wait was killing him.
Liz was feeling exactly the same way. From the moment he had picked her up, even despite the looks she was getting from Alex, Liz had wanted nothing more than to be with Max. Keeping her hands to herself so they could get the conversation out of the way proved to be one of the hardest things she had ever done. She wondered if Max knew how she was feeling right now, if he was going through the same torture that she was.
Looking up from her plate, she caught him looking at her with those intense eyes, and she knew the feelings were mutual. Both of them knew this conversation was important, but right now they couldn’t think about anything but what they hoped was to come.
“Liz, why did you ask me why I was cheating on my wife?”
There. It was out in the open now. Both of them had been dancing around the issues, keeping the conversation light, but there was no avoiding it anymore.
Liz took a deep breath before looking back at her food. “Well...”
“It’s okay, Liz.” Max said gently, putting his hand over hers on the table.
“I was at work the day of the accident, and my boss had a client come in. I accidentally walked into his office and found them having sex. And I just got so mad, because he has a girlfriend, someone who he claims to love very much and he’s cheating on her. Even my ex-boyfriend. We broke up because he was cheating on me. I remember thinking about them and being disgusted, and then I thought about us, and how you have a wife. And I pretty much felt like I was the other woman in the situation, and you were doing to her, exactly what those other guys had been doing.”
Max nodded. She could tell that he wanted to say something but he held back, knowing that she wasn’t finished.
“Then the accident happened, and you came to the hospital and you brought your wife and seeing her made everything clearer. I don’t know what you feel for her, Max. But I know that you and I aren’t the same as the others, because you’re not really in a relationship. And when I asked you why you cheated on her it was just so I could make sure what I was thinking was true.”
“She’s been cheating on me practically since we got married. We haven’t had a real relationship in years.”
“I know that now Max. I knew it the second she came into my room and I realized that I had seen her before.” He looked confused, but like he knew what was coming. Liz squeezed his hand. “I had seen her before the accident, in my boss’s office.”
She didn’t know what kind of reaction she expected from him, but what she got from him made her feel a lot better. He just nodded, like he accepted the situation and didn’t really care. Anger or tears would’ve proved to her that Max still felt something for his wife, but there was nothing there.
“Liz, just because my wife has been cheating on me doesn’t mean that I’ve been doing the same. I want you to know that.”
“What do you mean?”
He took a deep breath, prepared to let everything out now. “I’ve never been with anyone else other than Tess while we’ve been married, until I met you. This isn’t just some random thing that I usually do and then forget about the girl while I move on to another one. To me at least, this is so much more than that.”
“It is to me too, Max.”
There was still so much more that needed to be said, so many questions that needed answering, but right now neither of them could handle it. Getting up from the table, Max took Liz’s hand and led her to the elevators.
When the steel doors opened and a few guests had left, Liz and Max got in, glad to see no one else coming in with them. The second the doors were closed, neither of them could hold back. Every feeling they had been holding inside came pouring out, and they crashed into each other, mouths tangling as they struggled to get closer. His hands were everywhere, running up and down her body, unable to stop touching her.
He pulled back only slightly, resting his forehead against hers and bringing his hand to cup her cheek. She leaned into him, closing her eyes and reaching forward to capture his mouth again.
His kiss was soft, gentle, filled with all the love he had inside of him, because he knew now what was happening here, what had already happened. And he wanted to cherish every moment of it.
His lips teased hers, tongue tracing the contours of her mouth before venturing deeper. He waited for her to open for him, and when she complied willingly with his request his own tongue sought out hers, tasting her. He wanted to touch every single part of her, and he never wanted these feelings to end.
Liz simply hung on to him, knees weakening at the feelings he was igniting inside of her. Her arms wrapped for firmly around his neck, as she pressed her body more fully against his own. She couldn’t help but feel as if she fit against him perfectly, and she couldn’t wait to find out the other ways they would fit together.
The hotel room was too far away.
Liz pulled away from Max, eyes roaming over his body as she licked her lips and Max could feel his body respond. They were almost to their floor, but he had no idea that Liz had something else in mind. He watched as she walked over to the buttons of the elevator, and pushed the stop button.
The elevator came to a stop with a sudden jolt, and Max found Liz back in his arms before he had time to register what was going on. She pulled at his belt buckle, as his hands went to work on her own clothes. He thanked God when he remembered she was wearing a skirt, and his fingers skimmed beneath them, his body shuddering with anticipation when he felt nothing underneath. His fingers dipped inside of her, and she stopped her attempts to pull off his own clothes as she was overcome with the feelings of his hands on her body, his fingers inside of her.
Her eyes drifted closed as she rode his hand, and his lips latched on to her neck as he pumped against her. But both of them wanted more. His hands moved to the edge of her skirt and he wasted no time pulling it up, lifting her hips as he did and supporting her against the wall of the elevator.
Using her legs and hands, she dropped his pants, pulling him more fully against her and feeling the tip of him push against her wet entrance. He rocked against her, slipping inside of her body and that was all it took for him to lose control. Wanting to be as gentle as possible, he thrust inside of her slowly at first, but Liz couldn’t take it.
“Faster, Max,” she moaned into his ear, kissing her way along his jawline.
He didn’t need to be asked twice. His hips pistoned against her as she hung on for the ride of her life. Grabbing her legs and pulling her even closer to him, he could feel himself practically banging her into the wall, but she didn’t seem to mind. The cries coming from her beautiful mouth were definitely not sounds of pain. Her legs tightened around him as he pounded inside of her.
Liz could feel every inch of him, and even with the wall digging into her back she knew she never wanted him to stop. Every inch of him was filling her, thrusting so deeply and completely hitting exactly the right spot. Her eyes practically rolled back in pleasure as his lips found her breasts. He roughly pushed down her shirt, never stopping his movements inside of her as he began kissing her everywhere.
Liz was in heaven. The feel of his hands and mouth driving her crazy. But the feel of him pushing inside of her was like nothing she had ever felt. She could feel her orgasm approaching. And almost as if he sensed it, he began moving faster, his body slamming inside of her at a frenzied pace, both desperate to reach their peak. Liz’s body tightened, and she couldn’t stop the scream that tore from her throat as she flew over the edge. Max joined her shortly after, body collapsing against hers, satisfied, but far from finished.
