Ugly(150)

I finish my dinner and tell Max I’m going for a shower.

“I’ll clear everything away,” he says as he takes my bowl and his to the kitchen.

As I stand under the hot stream of water which is pelting me on the back, I think about what’s happened today. It seems like today is one of the most significant days of my life, apart from the day I walked out on Trent.

In such a short time I’m finally discovering who I am, and what it is I want from my life. But the one thing which will never waiver, is the desire and love I feel for Max. He’s always been there, my beacon of hope from the first time I saw him in the deli, to right now as he’s cleaning away our dishes. He’s always been there, and always will be.

I get out of the shower, dry off and head out to my bedroom, where Max is lying in bed. “Did you shower already?” I ask.

“I ran upstairs and had a quick shower, because I wanted to be here when you came out.”

I crawl into bed, and snuggle against Max.

My heart’s beating rapidly, and I can feel the nervous butterflies flapping around in my stomach. I want to take this to the next level, but I’m unsure on how to communicate it. I lean up on my elbow, and kiss Max’s beautiful, full lips.

Slowly I begin to reach my tongue out, drawing a fine line around his mouth. Max returns my hunger, and soon has me on my back as he hovers over me. “Are you sure, Snowflake?” he asks.

I nod my head, and drag my hands through his hair. “I’m sure,” I whisper.

“Sit up for me,” he instructs. I do and he grips the hem of my t-shirt and lifts it over my head. I’m left wearing just my panties and nothing else. His heated gaze greedily rakes over my exposed breasts. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispers as he darts down and swirls his raspy tongue over my nipples.

Insatiably, he sucks on my right nipple, and when I violently grip his head, he moves to my left one. Inside me something is happening. Pure elation begins to steadily bubble away inside me.

Max’s fingers slowly brush down my stomach, stopping to circle my belly button, then follow the line of my panties. He removes his warm mouth from my breast, and looks up at me. “May I?” he asks and pulls slightly on my panties.

Breathlessly I say, “Yes.”

He moves on my bed, and hooks his thumbs into the sides, then carefully drags them down my body. “I was right,” he says as he stares at my body. “Beautiful.” His mouth connects with my tummy. He licks and laves his way further down until he’s nestled between my legs. “Just relax and feel me.”

I lay back and close my eyes, enjoying Max and what his tongue is doing to me. All thoughts drift away. Nothing but pleasure and joy courses through my veins. I can feel a heat burning through my body, touching every part of me, waking parts I never even knew I had.

My breath becomes erratic, and small moans escape my lips. What is happening to me? Oh God, this is bliss. My body begins to shake uncontrollably as more strangled noises erupt from the back of my throat. “Oh God,” I cry, my voice husky. My hips tilt and gyrate on their own, trying to get more of the delicious feeling from Max’s mouth. “Oh God,” I half shout as I latch onto Max’s hair and drive myself vigorously further into his face.

“Ahhh,” I scream in ecstasy as my body violently spasms in response to Max and his clever mouth.

Max crawls up the bed toward me, and when he reaches my face, his dark eyes tell me everything I need to know. He slides into me and I let out a breath as I accept him.

“I love you so much,” I say.



Max and I are in each other’s arms and Max is drawing figures on my back. “Will making love with you always be this good?” I ask as I kiss his chest.

“No.” Crap, what? “It’ll get better.” He leans down and kisses the top of my head.

I smile and know he’s right. “I’ve been thinking about something,” I say. I hook my leg over his and turn so my chin is resting on his chest.

“What’s that?” he asks while staring hungrily into my eyes.

“I’ve found somewhere else to live, and I’m going to give up my apartment.”

Max’s jaw jumps and I see it tense. “Aha,” he says and lifts an eyebrow at me. I can already tell he’s not entirely pleased with me moving away from him. “Where is this place? And is it safe?”

“It’s not too far from here. I think you’ll like it,” I say as I lean down and pepper kisses across his chest.

“Don’t try to distract me, Lily. Where exactly is ‘not too far from here’?”

“Seriously, Max. You should be happy I’m moving.”
