This part is longer to make up for the last part cause you guys so deserve it!! *hugs*Chapter 20
So Max said he was going downstairs to make breakfast and I need a shower. He washed my dress so it’s nice and clean for me. I hop out the shower and get dressed quickly before heading downstairs.
I make my way downstairs and it’s noisy as hell.
“No way! You have got to be kidding me!”
“I kid you not! Max is he lying?” Maria?
“I have to see this, stick out your tongue!” Sarah?
“If you don’t believe me then forget all of you!” That’s definitely Michael.
“He let the fucker close so you ain’t gonna see shit!” Zan.
What the hell is there a party I don’t know about?
“Hey baby!” Max looks up and then I’m bombarded with hugs from all my girls.
“You made it Liz! We missed you!” Maria says practically jumping off the walls.
“Missed you guys too!” And then we stand in a circle staring at one another and I know the guys are getting freaked out but its about to get a little be freakier.
“Oh my God!” We call scream and then begin to jump up and down. After a few minutes we calm down and take a seat at the kitchen table. They were of course asking me what happened last night. I told them everything as softly as I could but I knew all the guys could hear, I could care less though.
“Wait?! Hold up you need to back up.” Oh no!
“Maria, no.”
“Oh yeah Liz there is no way you are not gonna tell me!”
“You? You mean us Maria?!” Sarah says pretty loudly. Of course that gets the attention of the guys and well I really didn’t want that.
“Tell you what?” Max comes up behind me and scares the shit out of me.
“Nothing baby.” I smile sweetly. He knows I’m bullshitting.
“Liz.” He raises is right eyebrow at me and well I can’t lie to him now can I?
“If you really have to know I was trying to explain to the girls just how far back my legs…hmm.” He slaps his hand across my mouth.
“Liz baby, I love you but that’s one secret you can keep from me okay? I do not need to know that you tell them everything.” He finishes shyly walking back over to the guys. Damn he looks hot this morning. He’s wearing a tight ass black T-shirt and a pair of jeans, oh but that’s not why he looks hot, it’s because the jeans are riding low on his hips and I know for a fact he is not wearing underwear. See what I mean? Hot!
“Max she does not tell us everything! Trust me if she did I would know…” It’s my turn to slap my hand across Maria’s mouth.
“Hey baby doll?” I turn around to face Zan.
“Yeah?”
“You sharin’ those Evans secrets?”
“Evans secrets?”
“Yeah the Evans bedroom secrets.” All the guys start laughing and giving each other hi-fives.
“You guys are such…guys!” Okay that made no sense but it’s getting extremely difficult to concentrate with Max lifting up his shirt to try and cool off.
“Liz honey stick to your day job.” Michael says.
“I don’t have a day job. In fact I don’t have a job.”
“What?! Liz how the fuck are you gonna afford to pay your rent?” Maria says and I shrug.
“I’ll find something else it’s not a big deal. It’s just the job was getting to me and I can’t handle it anymore.” Did the entire room get quiet or is it just me? Nope it did.
“So, what’s for breakfast?” I say quickly rising from my chair and standing beside Max.
“Liz please I love you but back away from the kitchen appliances.” Everyone starts laughing and I guess it’s back to defending myself. I did not miss this part that’s for damn sure.
“I wasn’t going to do anything Max. I was simply going to stir the eggs.” I say really proud of myself but why is everyone so quiet?
“S-stir the e-eggs! Oh man that is the funniest thing I’ve heard out of your mouth so far Parker!” Michael says and practically falls off the stool. Serves his smart ass right!
“What is so funny?” I say getting a little upset that they just enjoy making fun of me. I’m pretty used to it though. Maria looks at me seriously before speaking.
“Liz honey you don’t stir eggs, you scramble them or beat them.” Huh? Isn’t that the same thing? Instead of keeping that question to myself I say it out loud. I know dumb but well I really think it’s the same thing.
“Baby it’s okay. You can stir my eggs any day.” Max says as he winks and slaps my ass.
“Damn it! One day I’m going to learn how to cook and then you will all just see!” I say stomping out of the room. I throw myself onto the couch, I’ll show them one day. When, I have no idea cause right now I’m dangerous in the kitchen.
“Here.” Max comes in and takes a seat beside me with a plate of food.
“No thank you. I’m not hungry.”
“Liz, come on we were only playing.” I cross my arms and turn my head away from him.
“Liz…come on baby.” He says in his cute pouty voice and it makes me want to pounce him but I have principals. Please don’t ask what they are because right now I have no idea. He smells so good. He took a shower and he just smells so fresh and clean and he’s naked under his jeans…did I mention that? Oh yeah I did but you don’t mind do you?
“No it’s not going to work Max. Just leave me alone.”
“We only make fun because we love you and you are just too adorable for words Liz.” Oh he’s trying to butter me up but nope I’m not budging.
“I’m glad to see you still wearing the necklace.” I raise my hand to it instantly and I turn to him.
“Yes, I never take it off.”
“So does this mean you’re talking to me again?”
“Damn it Max! I’m supposed to be angry with you! You don’t play fair!” I smack his arm and he pulls me into his lap.
“So does this mean we get to have make up sex again?” He whispers huskily in my ear and I can’t help but grind myself into his lap.
“Liz.” He groans out in my ear and I begin to kiss his neck and run my hands through his hair.
“Ahem! You do have houseguests in case you forgot! So if you are going to have hot make up sex…we don’t mind!” Mike says plopping down next to Max and me. I can feel Max’s erection press into my thigh and I know if I get up right now it’s going to be very embarrassing for him.
“Ow! Damn it Maria!”
“Michael would you think with your head?”
“I am.”
“Oh get your mind out of the gutter!”
“I can’t help it. I’m a guy.”
“Ain’t that da truth?”
“Ow! Boo what was that for?”
“Just cause you deserved it for being a guy.” Sarah says while dragging Zan out of the house.
“Come on Michael.”
“What?”
“Let’s go.”
“But it was about to get hot in here.”
“Ow! Damn it Maxwell.”
“Get out Michael!” I smile into Max’s chest and wait as everyone vacates the house.
I turn to face Max again, “so you ready to finish this?” I purr out to him and within seconds he has my panties down past my ankles.
“I’m always ready for you Liz.” He whispers huskily to me.
“Max wait.” He growls and damn if I didn’t miss that too.
“Yeah?” He continues to caress my thighs and it’s really hard to concentrate.
“I want you to meet my parents Max. I just…I told them all about you, well I told my mother all about you, I had to give my father the condensed version.” I smile at him while playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.
“You sure? I mean your parents probably want to kick my ass for breaking up your…engagement.” He swallows thickly and I know it still hurts but I know now is the time to tell him everything.
He turns his face away and he’s too cute for words. I reach out my hand to tilt his head back in my direction.
“Look at me Max.” He turns his golden gaze back at me and I kiss his lips softly before speaking.
“When I told Matt that I met someone while he was gone, in Vegas having his bachelor party, and that had I slept with them. He flipped the fuck out I won’t lie but you know what was sad? He didn’t care that I cheated or that I ruined our engagement, he was more concerned with the fact that I slept with you before him.” I feel Max tense up a little over the conversation but it’s okay because I don’t plan on letting him go.
“See Max we didn’t love each other; I asked him why he loved me and he could only give me two reasons. Two. But you want to know how many reasons I could have given him, if he asked?” I knew Max did not want to talk about this but I needed him to know that I truly mean it when I tell him he’s the only one that I love.
“H-how many?” He whispers out his gaze piercing my own.
“None. Isn’t that sad? I was going to marry him because I thought I couldn’t do any better. I thought he was it, he was the only guy that paid attention to me and I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy it, but he never loved me. He couldn’t because he didn’t know me. Not like you Max.” I see the corners of his mouth lift to a smile.
“How long were you together with him before he asked you to marry him?” He seems less tense and I can only hope that I put him at ease.
“Six months.”
“Wait. You were together for six months and then he proposed and you said yes?” He asked somewhat confused. I can sympathize.
“Yeah I was clueless. I didn’t date many guys and the ones I did only lasted a few weeks if that. I didn’t know anything about myself, but I learned from you Max. You taught me to be comfortable with myself, you taught me that it’s okay to dance to the beat of my own drum and that’s why I love you.” I say trying to get him to laugh and it works.
“I missed you so much Liz. I missed holding you and talking you. I missed just hearing you laugh or just waiting for you to make me laugh.” Now I ask this next question because more than anything I need to hear it from his lips. I need this to be true and real and the only way for me to really know that this is forever is by his answer.
He looks me in the eyes before leaning in and caressing my lips softly with his, drinking from my lips before pulling away and answering me.
“Liz I don’t think there are enough words in the world to describe why I love you. Putting everything aside; you are so honest with your feelings, I love that when you walk into a room you light it up with just your smile. I love that you love me unconditionally. I love the way your hand fits perfectly in mine. I love your mind and how quirky you are. You make me smile even when I don’t want to and you make me believe Liz.”
“Believe in what Max?”
“You make me believe that true love does exist and it’s not just some bullshit they tell you to sell more greeting cards.”
“Max Evans did I ever tell you, that you have such a way with words?”
“Let me think, no Liz Parker you haven’t. But you know what?” He pulls me closer so that we are a mere breath away.
“What?”
“You love me just the way I am. And I love you just the way you are.”
“Yeah?” I scoot closer to him.
“Yes.” He scoops the back of my head and wraps his arm around my waist before sealing our lips. He begins to devour my mouth with his warm tongue and then slides my dress up over my head.
I run my hands down his chest before pulling off his shirt. “Not here Liz, upstairs.” I simply nod and wrap my legs around his waist and let him carry me up the stairs. I can’t resist him for long though. I begin to nip at his neck and then run my tongue down his chest and gently bite down on one of his nipples.
“Liz…you have to stop or we’re not gonna make it upstairs.” He hisses out as we make it halfway up the stairs.
“And that’s a bad thing?” I remove my lips from his neck with a loud popping sound and run my tongue along the underside of his jaw.
“Fuck it!” He turns around and takes a seat on one of the steps and I lean back to unbutton his jeans. I pull the zipper down with great haste and slide the jeans down his muscular legs and throw them over the banister.
“Come here Liz.” He licks my neck and buries his hands in my hair while plunging his tongue and in and out of my mouth, just the way I want him to take my body right now.
“Max…” I moan out and he grips my hips softly before guiding himself within my slick walls.
“Liz…yes baby…”
“Hmm Max…yeah…” I begin to slide with great ease over him and he grips my hips tighter.
“I guess someone is a little turned on huh?”
“Hell yes baby you feel so good.” I begin to move quicker on top of him. I plant my feet on either side of him and use the step for leverage. Taking him just about fully out of my body before slamming back down.
“Fuck! Yes Liz…”
“You like that Max?” I asked as I trail kisses down his toned chest.
“What do you think?” He pants out gripping my ass fiercely.
“I think you love it.” I purr out and he begins to thrust up into me causing me to get that much closer to the edge. He leans up and wraps his arms around me.
“I do love it. I love to feel you come around me baby. It feels so fucking good.” I grind into him harder. His words are like fuel to the fire burning between my legs.
“Yes…Max…yes!”
“Ah Liz…yeah…fuck yeah!” We both moan out as we reach our climax together.
“I will never get tired of this Max.” I say to him as he carries me effortlessly up the stairs to the bedroom.
“Me either Liz…me either.” He kisses me one last time before we both fall asleep from total exhaustion.
Life just couldn’t get any better. Don’t look at me like that. Yes I Liz Parker have become somewhat optimistic, I can’t help it. That’s what happens when you’re lucky enough to have someone like Max Evans love you.
TBC…
