Chapter 9: The Gift of Passion
They had been stuck in the cave for nearly three days. They had talked over everything with Max asking questions of her abilities to discussing personal things with each other in hope they would get closer to finding out about how Liz had come across the necklace.
"I've always had it, Riverdog said that I had arrived with it and I have no memories of my life before I became a Seer," Liz explained with a shrug. The two of them were sitting on the bed with Shalula lying on her back in between them, enjoying the belly rub that she was getting from Liz. Liz was free from all her jewellery that she usually wore, just wearing the pendant.
"Have you always had leopards as guardians?" Max asked with an amused smile, looking down at Shalula and Liz giggled as she nodded.
"Yeah but Shalula is the only one I've had since a cub. My last guardian was Shalula's father, the mother had died during childbirth," Liz explained.
"She's a lot like you," Max observed, he blushed under Liz's curious gaze. "She's playful and friendly but once you've angered her, you should watch out." Liz rolled her eyes.
"You're the one who walked in on me when I was having a bath," Liz pointed out, remembering the time she had been having a bath only for Max to walk in just as a she stood up, water dripping down her naked body.
Liz had been embarrassed and angry that she had actually thrown a pot at Max's head, missing him by inches which broke Max out of his daze and dashed out of the room before she had gotten a hold of another pot to smash his head with.
"And I apologised for the last two days over – I even gave you a feet massage and fed you grapes," Max reminded. "In nothing but my boxers," Liz grinned a she remembered the scene before shrugging as a devilish glint came to her eyes.
"And it was a nice scene," Liz pointed out, eliciting an eye roll from Max as they both looked at their laps. There had been a couple of close moments where they found themselves almost giving in to their attraction but managed to hold themselves back and needless to say, they were getting frustrated that the storm wasn't going down, if anything, it was actually getting worse leading Liz to think that there was a possibility it was going to last longer than two weeks. "Anyway," Liz distracted herself from thinking these thoughts. "What is so important about this necklace?" Liz played with the necklace.
"It's from my home planet," Max explained. Liz arched an eyebrow. "The symbol is a language from my planet – we call it the Whirlpool Symbol because that's what is near my home planet."
"But why would I have it?" Liz asked, confused. "I'm human – I have no powers and my abilities to tell the future is from me being the Seer." Max shrugged.
"I think it was given to you in your past life and you brought it here," Max told her before he sighed. "Although I'm getting a headache from trying to get an explanation," Liz frowned as she tapped her chin, trying to think of a way she could get the answer.
"Maybe I could consult the crystal ball for the answer but it is a long shot," Liz admitted. Max looked at her, curious to where she was going with this line of thought. "As you know, the crystal ball is my outlet to the outside world," Max nodded, "Well, maybe, as it is connected to me, it could show me my past of when I got this necklace."
"Do you think it will work?" Max asked and Liz shrugged.
"Like I said, it is a long shot," Liz reminded and Max sighed before shrugging.
"Why not?" asked Max, "What harm could it do?" Liz shot him an amused grin at that and Max rolled his eyes. "Yes, I know famous last words." Liz just rolled her eyes before she shifted off the bed with Max and both of them move over to the Crystal ball to see if they could get any answers.
Liz looked at the ball before she looked at Max once more.
"I might go into a daze but if that does happen, don't freak out and do not pull me out of it either," warned Liz and Max nodded in understanding before he held his breath as Liz placed her hand on top of the crystal ball and closed her eyes.
'Show me the moment I got the necklace,' Liz whispered in her mind to the ball and the ball started changing colours under her hand before her eyes rolled up into the back of her head, she could faintly hear Max shouting her name but everything disappeared before she found herself in the middle of a café, dressed in a simple knee length green dress.
She was looking up at the man who was standing in front of her with the necklace in his hand. He wore dark blue jeans and a black shirt. She couldn't see his face, it was too blurred. He told her that his home was with her no matter what but he had to go and do the mission but he promised that he would come back to her as soon it was over.
She just nodded; she understood that it was important for him to do the mission. He slipped the necklace over her head, allowing it to rest on her neck and the pendant to settle perfectly between her breasts. He leaned in and rested his forehead on hers, telling it that it was perfect where it was.
She just smiled as she lifted her head and kissed him before he left the café, leaving her alone but deep inside of her head…she knew that something bad was going to happen but she didn't know what and she didn't want to burden him with the feeling of something that might never happen only for a bright flash and a sound of thunder to crack in her ear, startling her awake.
Liz bolted up, gasping as sweat dripped down her body, her hair sticking to her and her clothes. Max was kneeling next to her with a worried look but there was relief in his eyes. Liz looked around and found that she was on the bed once more.
"What…what happened?" Liz croaked out, her throat dry. Max shook his head.
"You touched the crystal ball, it started changing colour then you just blanked out. You were fitting and your body just arched off the bed and there was a strange wound on your stomach," Max explained. Liz looked down at her stomach and found a small round scar before she frowned.
"That wasn't there before," Liz told him and Max nodded.
"I know, it appeared during your vision," Max explained before he frowned as he placed a hand on her forehead. "You are really warm; do you want me to put you in the water to cool you down?" Liz shook her head.
"No," she whispered as she closed her eyes as she exhaled before she meets Max's eyes once more. "I saw how I got the necklace – it was a man, he told me that it was a promise that he would come back to me, he had a mission that he needed to do. After that, I just saw a bright light and the sound of thunder." Max frowned as he sat back, wondering what was going on.
Liz sat up, taking it slowly as she felt a little dizzy and met Max's eyes. Both of them darkened as they remembered the visions of them in bed together and Max's eyes fell down to her lips only to grit his teeth when he saw her tongue peek out to wet her bottom lip before he met her eyes once more.
They both leaned in and their lips brushed against each other, only their fear holding them back.
"We shouldn't do this…" Max whispered and Liz nodded.
"I know," Liz agreed, "But I can't stop."
"Me neither," Max leaned in and kissed her again, pulling her body against his before he laid her down, following her down as well.
Liz gasped as she spread her legs, allowing Max to fit in between them before sliding her hands under his top to feel the hot skin and the muscles working under them. Max pulled away from her lips and travelled his lips down her neck, revelling in the way she gasped and arched her back, pushing her body further into his before she shifted her hips, rocking against him.
Max groaned as he sat up, pulling Liz up with him as she tugged at his top, helping him to slip it over his head. They separated for a moment to get rid of the material before their lips met each other once more. Max unclipped Liz's bikini and threw it away and brought their bare chests to meet each other, gasping at the sensation before Liz knelt up, breaking the kiss.
Max took in the sight of her bare breasts in front of him before he reached up and took a nipple into his mouth, eliciting a gasp from Liz as her head tilted back and her hands slid into his hair, holding him close to her while Max's hands went to her hips and slowly pulled down the skirt, baring her body completely to her. She never wore underwear, meaning there was less clothing for Max to remove.
Max removed his mouth away from her nipple and moved down lower, reaching the curls that hid the one spot he wanted to taste. Liz held her breath, wondering how Max had managed to regain control so easily when all thoughts flew from her head as Max kissed her and licked her.
"Max…" Liz pleaded as Max's hands cupped her hips, holding her up as he licked harder, running his tongue around the tight bud. "Max…" Liz managed to pull herself away from him, wanting him to be in her when she came as she tightened her grip on his hair and kissed him, hard as she pushed him onto his back so she could unbuckle his jeans and pulled them down along with his boxers and both material fell on the ground, just missing Shalula who had decided the clothes made more fascinating toys.
Liz eyed Max's cock before she reached out, sliding a finger from the base to the tip before she rubbed the small slip of semen around the tip. She wrapped her whole hand around him and slid it up and down his cock, enjoying the way he gritted his teeth.
Max jumped when he felt something wet touch him and looked down to see that Liz was licking the tip before he yanked her off him and pushed her on her back, he wasn't going to let her have all the fun.
He spread Liz's legs for her and slid in between them, the head of his cock meeting her entrance. He looked into her eyes and saw the pleading in them before he pushed past the entrance. He stopped, briefly, when he felt her barrier but knew that she was going to feel pain one way or another and pushed past the flimsy barrier.
Both of them gasped as they joined together, memories rushing about through each other heads but they just ignored it, keeping their minds on the pleasure they were giving and receiving from each other.
Max stayed still for a moment, placing his hand over her womb and his hand glowed until he could sense that she was now comfortable and the pain had receded before he pulled out of her and thrusted back into her. Liz moaned as she lifted her head and captured Max's lips with hers once more, moving her hips in the same rhythm, their hands were moving over each other bodies, learning everything they could.
Max broke the kiss and ducked his head down, taking a nipple into his mouth while Liz kissed his neck and shoulder, clenching herself around him in pleasure. Max came back up and Liz took advantage to kiss his neck and shoulder once more, biting down on him as he thrusted harder when she swirled her tongue over a sweet spot that connected his shoulder and neck.
Max slipped an arm around Liz's waist, lifting her off the bed and started thrusting into her harder and faster. Liz was unable to do anything but rock her hips, bucking with each pleasure as Max rubbed against the sweet spot inside of her, threatening to throw her overboard.
Max, sensing that she was close to the edge, leaned down and sucked a nipple into his mouth and used his free hand to pinch the other nipple, pushing Liz over the edge to fall headfirst into her pleasure.
"Max!" Liz groaned as her head fell backward as her orgasm washed over her, her back stiffened and her body shuddered under Max's touch. Max just kept thrusting to keep her pleasure going till he climaxed into her warm soft folds.
"Liz," gritted out Max before the two of them slumped down on the bed, breathing heavily with Max's head resting on Liz's breasts and Liz ran her hands through his hair as they both fought to get a grip on reality before Max grunted as he slid out of Liz and shifted to the side so he wasn't crushing her.
Liz closed her eyes as memories and flashes started bombing her from all different directions, leaving her disoriented and confused but one of them stuck out and fear shot through her body as her eyes snapped opened in shock.
"Oh…god," Liz gasped as her brown eyes widen in fear and understanding.
"Liz?" Max asked as he turned his head to look at her, worried. Liz turned to face him, unsure of how she was to tell him what she had realised.
"I was the woman in the past life," Liz whispered and Max stared at her, shocked but grew more shocked with her next words. "And you were my lover who sought the Seer before me."
