Chapter 60

We moved from the wall to Maximus’s bed in a half a second.

My back was pressed against his comforter and my hands were back on his face. His lips were back on my chest, sucking welts into the space under my collar bones. My hips jolted up into him as a guttural moan escaped me. Max used his own hips to pin me back to the bed. The space in between his legs was hard and warm, his want evident.

He lifted his head for a half a second to wrangle off my shirt, but it wasn’t enough. I took the time where hips lips weren’t attached to my body to wrench off my sports bra as well leaving me bare chested and arching for him again. Max pinned my wristed to the bed and pulled back.

His eyes were dark was a raging need. They roamed over my body, taking in every bit of it before he went back to catch my own gaze.

“Is this okay?” he grunted. “Are you okay?”

“Yes,” I moaned. “More.”

He dove back down and pressed the flat of his tongue into my sternum, licking a stripe all the way down to my hip, where he bit into my skin with his teeth. His hands left my wrists and I pulled his face back up to mine.

His tongue clashed with mine, licking the inside of my mouth then he was gone again. I moaned needily and tried to pull him back up. His face was near my naval, fingers slowly peeling down the fabric of my leggings.

“I have to taste you,” he moaned into my stomach. “I need it.”

“Please,” I begged. The fire inside me was all consuming.

There was a tear of fabric and then my entire lower half was exposed to the air. I was only aware for about two seconds before I felt Max’s hot breath on my core. Then, it was fire.

His mouth touched me and my entire back pressed off the bed in shock. I gasped and tried to push my hips further into Max’s mouth. His arm came down to brace me and pin me to the bed. The same sucking and licked he’d done to my mouth was now on my pussy, teasing and testing to try and find the spot that made me come undone.

He hit the apex of my thighs and I arched, a moan coming from so deep within my chest it felt like my heartbeat. That only encouraged Maximus, making his face burrow further into me. His licking and sucking and swirling was maddening. It sent me into a wanton frenzy I’d never felt before.

Then, I tipped over the edge.

I came hard, with a scream and a twitching convulsion of my hips. It did nothing to deter Maximus as he continued to lap at me as I rolled through one…two orgasms in a matter of minutes. He continued his assault on me until I pulled his head up from me. He pressed an open mouth kiss on the line of my hip then let me pull his body back up so our lips could meet.

The taste of myself on him made me even more wild, bitter and sour. Maximus pulled back so he could look at me, lying on my back with my chest heaving.

“You taste like honey,” he moaned before going back to pepper my neck with kisses.

I dragged his shirt over his shoulders then got frustrated and ripped it at the back. I tore the shreds of fabric off of him as his lips went back to swirl around my sternum. Then, he dipped down and brought one of my nipples into his mouth. He hummed around it and I felt myself driving up the third hill of the night.

“I need—” I panted. But Maximus was already there, helping me shrug him out of his pants and boxers and his cock spring free of its confines.

He was massive.

So much so that I felt my mouth water in anticipation. His hips pressed back into mine, the head of him was lined up to enter me. With one push of his hips, his entire cock was pressed into me. It felt heavenly. It felt right.

“Okay?” Maximus asked, though it sounded like he was in pain.

I nodded and ran my hands down his back before pressing a kiss to his jaw. I lifted my hips up to meet his and we moaned at the same time, soaking in the new angle.

He pulled his hips back then snapped them forward. The coil inside me was wound tighter and tighter with each slap of our skin together.

My hands dug into the divets above his ass, driving his hips to snap into me harder and harder. With each time our hips came flush together, his cock hit the bit of flesh deep inside me that sent pleasure coursing down my toes.

“So good,” Maximus moaned into my neck before biting into the skin there. I let out an animalistic noise of pleasure as the pain of his teeth mixed with the stretch of my pussy around his cock.

He pounded deeper and deeper until I felt like I was going to explode. I grabbed his face and held it against mine as finally, the dam breached and my body flooded with pleasure. Every bit of my body was shaking as Max continued to rut against me. With a final groan, he pulled out of me and spilled himself across my stomach.

He rolled over next to me, utterly spent. My heart was pounding in my chest as I realized what I’d just done.

Fuck. I’d slept with Maximus Wolfham.

I immediately jumped up and started to get dressed. My leggings were in tatters so I grabbed Max’s shorts and pulled them up my body. I felt his hand touch the middle of my back.

“Zora—”

“I have to go,” I said quickly, flinching out of his touch. “This was a mistake. I’m sorry – I –”

“Mistake?” Max snorted in disapproval. “What are you talking about? Tell me I wasn’t the only one who felt that. The electricity?”

“I – I don’t know,” I threw my shirt on over my head and gathered my sports bra in my hands. “I – I can’t.”

“Zora, stop,” Max said, swinging his legs off the bed. “Look at me. Please.”

I stopped and swallowed thickly. Tears were springing in the corners of my eyes. I couldn’t believe I’d done that. I’d just self-fulfilled my label as a slut. I turned to look at Max. He looked so confused and my heart ached.

“Don’t do this,” he said, slowly. “Don’t push me away. I know you felt it. We’re fated mates.”

I shook my head fervently. “We’re not,” I bit out.

“How is that possible?” Max said. “I felt it. I felt it when you—”

“We’re not,” I cut him off. “Because Valentin Lunerly is my fated mate.”

Max withdrew immediately like I’d burned him. He stared at me, slack jawed. I quickly gathered myself and bolted out his room. I locked my own door behind me and slid to the floor. I pressed my fingers to my lips.

What had I done?
