Chapter 3: Lost in Lust

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Rei's P.O.V.~

I stared at Max, who was now very much awake and still sitting on my bed. He stared back. I dropped the clothes in my arms; a warm blush covered my face in seconds. My wet hair dripped on the carpeted floor. "I though you were still sleeping, so I was going to get some more clothes from my suitcase." I stammered, unable to control my breaking voice from embarrassment. Max, still staring wide-eyed at me, slipped off the bed, and came toward me. I took a step back, thinking of retreating back into the bathroom and locking the door, so I could resist the urges now fluttering through my mind. "I'm sorry I surprised you like that, Maxie." I continued, trying to make out the look in his eyes. They sparkled like the clear, blue ocean at sunset. He kept his eyes on me. He kept eye contact, never looking down, which I was thankful for. He was standing right in front of me now, blushing as red as I felt. "Maxie, I--" He pressed his forefinger against my lips, silencing me. This couldn't be happening. I had always though of Max as a brother, not a lover, but that was the feeling I had now: love. Suddenly I felt pleasantly warm, as Max's lips met mine briefly.

I surprised even myself when I kissed Rei. I pulled back quickly. "I'm sorry, Rei. I shouldn't have done that. Please, don--" But to my great surprise, and gladness, Rei planted his own kiss on my lips. It felt wonderful. He deepened the kiss, his hand pushing lightly on the back of my head, pulling me closer to him. I ran my fingers through his wet, black hair. We separated our lips when it was time for a short breath, before he pulled me back. I slowly pulled my shirt over my head. I put my hands on his chest. He was very muscular and handsome. I never thought I'd be thinking these thoughts, but now that I am, I like it. He started to push me back. I fell back onto my bed. He continued to kiss me. I broke off the kiss, and began kissing his neck. He got in the bed beside me. I was getting cooler as the sun sank behind the waves of the ocean. I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of Rei's body against mine. It was like I'd died and gone to heaven.

It felt so good to be so close to Max. I didn't want it to end. If only I'd known about his feelings earlier, this could have happened sooner, or would I have been to scared? It didn't matter. I had Maxie now; that was what mattered. He rested his head on my chest. I heard his breathing lighten as he drifted into sleep. I held him lightly in my arms; a cuddly hug. I closed my eyes as well, feeling, for the first time in my life, whole.
