Hello, dearest readers. As you can see, I have finally updated this story. I apologize for the wait, but it was only to be expected seeing as how i was completely immersed in the lovely stories that grace this site.
Disclaimer: Do i look old? NO. Do i sound old? Heck no. Then please do not believe that I am RR or JP. Because I am female! Not over forty years old and married. Soooo, read and enjoy.
Max POV
I melted. Right then and there. My legs turned to pudding, and my brain to mush. Nico had slipped one arm around my waist, his hand resting on my hip. The other hand was tangled in my ribbon-threaded hair.
'Oh, jeez…' I thought dazedly, as the kiss turned into 'French'. Somehow my arms came up and twined themselves around his neck. At first I'd been all: Okay, I'm just doing this so I can unexpectedly choke the life out of him while he-And then the kiss went to 'French'.
Yeah…. call me immature, but I'm Max. Warrior Max. Warrior Max does not describe French kissing. That sure as hell wasn't what I was going to do. The more rational part of me was screaming at me, telling me that I hardly knew this guy. In fact, I'd nearly knocked him unconscious. Not the greatest meeting ever. But the rest of me (the part completely floored by his kissing…erm…expertise) flattened it.
I was so, so glad that my Voice wasn't making an appearance right now…just as I was about to die (extensive brain damage) Nico pulled back. When I looked up at his flushed face, he smirked at me (seemed to be his signature thing, no?) and pushed several strands of my hair out of my blushing face. Now I know what you're thinking…any hot guy could just walk up to me and start a make-out session and I'd be completely okay with it.
NOooooo. It's just that…when Nico touched me (not like that, you perverts! Minds out of the gutter!) it felt right. Complete. Then I became aware of our position. My back was pressed against the wall, and his hands were tight on my hips. My arms were threaded around his neck, and his deep brown pools of death were staring right into mine. If possible, I blushed an even deeper red. Oh, the joy. Fire engine coming through. Then his lips (which were totally kissable, let me tell you!) parted and he whispered, "I'm still waiting for my apology."
And those were the magic words. My senses came back to me, and I realized—previously, this guy had acted like he hated my guts. And I'd practically made out with him. Anger (more at myself than him, though.) flooded through me. I tried to escape but I... couldn't?!
(Mental sigh- I cannot believe I'm saying this) This guy was too strong. Even for me, a genetically enhanced bird kid. Nico (who had seemed to notice that I had every intention of trying to kill him, and most definitely not apologize to him for knocking him down!) proceeded to wrap his muscular arms around me (I almost fangirled!), crushing me against him.
His hands brushed my wings, and I shivered. I shoved my hands against his chest only succeeding in minimal space increase. Well, this sucked. I was about to kick him where the freakin' sun doesn't shine, when his lips brushed my ear, and my heart kicked into high gear. Wow. That rhymed. I struggled for breath. "I'm definitely not going to…apologize…to you."
Nico snickered. "What a shame." He hissed, and just as his lips (his heavenly, soft lips, perfectly capable of reducing me to a puddle) footsteps sounded around the corner. Instantly he was gone, stepping into the nearest shadows. Nico winked at me before disappearing. I shot the pools of black shadow by the windows my best death glare, which would have petrified an Eraser. Lovely.
My fingers touched my lips, which were still tingling. I whirled as I heard a feminine voice. "C'mon, Maximum." It was that girl, Piper. The gorgeous one with the cool hair. She gave me a smile. "Let's go meet the gods. Properly, this time." Then she turned on her heel and walked down the long hall. With my fingers still at my (and yeah, they were still tingling) lips, I followed her. Towards my 'daddy' and 'mommy'.
Please, my darlings, review. I hope that you enjoyed it and that you will continue following Max's new adventure.
