The Redemption of Maximus

Transformation- Emily

I'm on fire. The taste of him is like a drug and I can't seem to get enough. As he breaks his soul devouring kiss I moan at the lost. I just need more of his. I circle my hips against him as the large bulge in his pants rubs the perfect spot. When he growls I feel my legs shake and I tighten them against him. God, I love that sound.

He captures my gaze and I watch mesmerized as the eyes of his dragon appear. When he licks his lips I feel a new wave of wetness coat my thighs. He circles his hips digging his erection into me and I toss my head back with a mean. The stones of the house roughen the strands and I barely care. When his mouth flies to my neck I gasp. Sweet, sweet joy I feel. The spot that he sucks is tender. My toes curl against his back and I know that I am close to euphoria. Our grinding increases as he builds me up higher. When he sucks harder I feel myself tense ready for the wave of pleasure to take me under when suddenly it all stops.

I catch myself right before I fall to the ground, and I hear a loud crash. A little ways in the distance I watch as Maximus climbs out from the wall of a house he must have hit as the gold guy blocks my view. Just as I have noticed him he is knocked away from me and Maximus takes his spot with a feral growl. I have no idea what's going on. I need to stop this before one of them get hurt. Maximus takes two deliberate steps in Xander's direction. It's almost like his size enlarges and I feel a wave of fear go over me.

Stop him. Suddenly I'm flying forward, and I wrap my arms around him. I squeeze him as tight as I can and plant my feet on the ground. When he halts his advances I sigh with relief. I push my head into his chest and tingles flow across my skin. Using the tip of my nose to nuzzle him I smile at the sensation. It's like enveloped in warmth and safety. My body relaxes against him, and I hear Xander speak.

"You need to get control. I wasn't trying to get in your way or take your mate. When I saw you your dragon was at the front you were about to mark her. Do you understand what I am saying?" he ask. I'm so confused by what he says. Why would he think that he was going to take me. I don't need to be protected from Maximus. A wave of anger hits me as the silence goes tense. Is that why people keep stopping us. Because they think he is trying to hurt me. Before I can ask Maximus speaks and his voice vibrates against my cheek.

"Just spit it out Xander" He says as he looks down at me. There is so much emotion in his gaze. I just want to go home. To his home. His cabin I correct myself. If this interruption hasn't ruined the mood. Maybe we can finish what we started.

"You need to talk with her about the laws. You cannot mark her if she doesn't know what it means. You have to do this right" he states. He dust the dirt off of his robe and rolls his head on his shoulders. He looks as if he is about to go to war and my guy is the target. Maximus stiffens beside me, and his embrace loosens. I don't want this guy ruining what is going on between us.

"Did you try to mark her?" Maximus says. His gaze flies back to me and he starts to look at me in an odd light. His gaze lingers at places on me. I watch as his expression turns to anger as he looks at me and starts to back away from me. A cold feeling enters my chest and I know that I am losing him. He is going to leave me like everyone else. I step toward him prepared to fight when I hear his dragon speak through his mouth.

"She is my mate to mark. It is fated" he states.

Maximus bristles under his words and I hear as Xander steps forward. Maximus body starts to shake, and his gaze starts to shine. It almost looks as if he is...well in anguish. He looks tortured as his gaze starts to go back and forth between him and his dragon.

"How could you take away her choice. It is her right to decide to be with me. You cannot force her." Maximus screams.

"She is mine and I will have her. I have tired of your waiting when you knew about her. You should have tried harder to find her all those years ago" his dragon screams. Claws unsheathe from his hands and his chocolate skin starts to turn black. A hand wraps around my waist and starts to tug me backwards.
