CHAPTER 4

Max looked down at her empty plate then back up to Adrian.

"It's been too long, where is Kristy?" She finally asked as the rain pelted the windows outside sending sheets of water down the long windows.

"With Vayn." Adrian said simply, standing and walking over to behind Max.

She looked up as he leaned over her picking up the plate. She felt his hot breath on her neck and automatically leaned backwards towards him. His chest felt muscular and warm to her back.

What the hell? Max asked herself almost enraged. Why does he have this effect on me?

A flash of excitement jumped across her face as she felt his arm slide across her stomach, his lips by her neck.

"Max what are you feeling right now?" Adrian asked his breath against her ear hot and seductive.

"I want you…away from me." Max said weakly.

"You do?" Adrian asked.

His hand slipped a little lower on her stomach, the heat building inside her growing to almost unbearable. She felt her want for him spike suddenly making her let a small groan come from her parted lips. She felt his deep chuckle on her back as his lips slipped down to her soft pale skin of her shoulder. The simple touch sent another electric spike of want through her body.

"You really want me away from you?" Adrian asked.

Max suddenly jolted up forward turning to press against him, her breasts being pushed up by the action her lips an inch away from his. She felt his hands rest on her outer thigh as a wicked smile come to his face.

This isn't right Max. Get out of here! An unfamiliar voice screamed at the back of her head.

But I want him. Another argued as she pressed herself harder against him.

Adrian's hands slipped up her thighs a little as her sweet damp scent floated up to his nostrils his dark green eyes deepening to a maroon. Max felt a smile slip across her face as the voice screamed how wrong something was. But what was it? Her lips pressed against his as she hopped onto the table. He countered moving to the table his hands slipping a little up her black skirt making a groan grow to a moan.

"I want you!" She said as her lust and want spiked making her passion grow.

"Then you will have me love." Adrian said as his maroon eyes held hers tightly.

He isn't human Max! Get away! Run! The tiny voice screamed growing fainter and fainter.

She felt her hands slowly glide up her stomach to grab at her shirt. Adrian eyed her bare skin hungrily as the tank top slid off revealing her black bra and her full round breasts. His hands slipped up her thighs pressing lightly against her crotch making the deep damp scent grow.

"You friend is dead." Adrian murmured his eyes judging her face.

"So?" She asked pressing her pelvis more into his hand.

"You soon will be." Adrian said with the same calculating look.

"Kill me slowly." Max murmured her lips drawn up in a smile as her bra slipped off revealing her breasts wholly.

"You don't care?" Adrian asked set off a little.

"We all die." Max said grabbing at the top of his pants to unbutton them.

"I think I like you." Adrian whispered his lips finding her neck.

He's going to kill you and you don't care. The tiny voice said dispersing into nothingness in the passion filled storm that was her mind.

"I have you now." Adrian said his eyes predatory.

"Then have me." Max said as his lips slipped to her breasts.

Her head lay back as he kissed her breast and neck a constant hum in her throat. He kissed down her stomach then back up to her throat feeling something different. In his thousand years he had lived this feeling had never alighted on his mind. It came to him as a shock. He wanted her!

"You're not going to die!" Adrian said realizing it himself.

Suddenly her want and hot need for him broke leaving her with just wanting him. The voice she realized was her own and as she looked down at the maroon eyed man she realized he was no human.

"You killed Kristy?" She asked the quiet panic beginning to fester in the bottom of her mind.

"No. Vayn did." Adrian clarified his voice deep and soothing. "Maxine I want you."

"You're not human are you?" Max said stepping onto the floor her eyes examining him warily.

"I am not." He said deeply looking toward the storm outside.

"You controlled me." Max said realizing why she had became the way she did, and now why she was naked.

She grabbed her bra from the chair and put it on quickly looking around for her shirt feeling the panic grow.

"You made me lust for you." Max said stepping away from him.

"Max I…in my 1,709 years I have never wanted any human. You're different." Adrian said his eyes pleading.

Max stopped and turned to him as she slipped on her t shirt her eyes locking with his.

"I can't get out of here alive can I?" Max asked as the panic beneath her consciousness pulsed telling her she was right.

"No." Adrian said sadly. "But you can be with me. You can become some of what I am."

Max stepped forward seeing no longer her death but a way out of her inevitable death.

"What are you?" She asked a foot away from him.

"I am…a demon." Adrian said as the horns grew from his skull just out of his raven hair.

Max froze as the complete realization hit her.

"What are you telling me is my only way out of this alive?" She asked slowly, her panic calmed to just quiet submission.

"I make you what I am." Adrian said suddenly looking towards the dinning room door. "But you have to make your choice now. Either you become a demon and lose you soul to live forever or you die and let The Fate decided where you go."

"Then…Adrian I don't know." Max said as a lighting bolt lit up the sky.
