I didn't know what I was thinking, but my head was spinning that I don't know when I closed the space between us. The moment our lips touched, I felt the urge to keep going and get my heated mind off for a moment. He didn't kiss back at first, instead, he look taken aback by my action. But I don't mind, even as my mind keep yelling at me to stop and open my eyes to see what I was doing. I didn't care. It felt good kissing him as he finally kiss me back parting his delicate lips. A soft moan escape my lips as I tilt my head to the side, wanting to kiss him more. Max hands stayed on my face as if trying to pull me away from the passionate, yet soft sync. But didn't anyways as he let me be in control, obviously confused at my madness.

How much had I always wanted to kiss him.

"Kira," he said, braking the kiss, hands still on my cheeks. Instead of letting him speak, I shake my head and joined our lips again. He groaned when I bit the bottom of his lips, and his tongue intertwined with mine, fastening the kiss. Our lips twirl in a rough sync that make me crave for more. He was right, I prefer it rough. Not gentle, like Fred's.

My hands stayed in his hair pulling him closer so I climb unto his laps, legs to his side, deepening the kiss. But it was almost as if he was being hesitant to kiss me back, again. And as if he was thinking to stop.

On point, he pulled back, and say, "Kira, you're–" He stopped, both gasping for air. He bite my bottom lips and pull them with his teeth until it pop back into place. The little act make me giggle with our foreheads caressing each other.

"Please let me kiss you" I plea, eyes focused on his plum lips. Mind reminiscing on the passionate kiss. It was one of the best I have had so far.

He looked at my lips for a split seconds then to my eyes, still panting from our last kiss. "You've no idea what you're doing."

He was right. I didn't know what I was doing. Not mostly when I closed the space between us again, making him groan against my lips. "Please" I muttered, absentmindedly, as I continue to kiss him hard again. I momentarily shivered as he pulled me closer to him by my waist. Hands now resting upon my exposed legs. His sync was rough that I couldn't resist but kissed him back trying to follow his pace. I moaned loud enough to send electric feeling down my spine. The kiss deepened, and he was now towering me while I hold unto his neck.

My hands find his hair for assistance and to keep me in place. I begin to feel friction between us and that, only made me grind myself against his thigh. I let out a moan just the same time a groan escaped his own, giving me the chance to be in charge once more as my mouth devour his. I hear utter curses that only made me more turned on. His hand go over to my thigh, and then to my butt through my gown. He trail kisses on my jawline and then to my neck, kissing and sucking them untill they are purple. And just as I thought of taking off his clothes, to feel his abs hiding beneath the material, I hear voices from downstairs.

"Do you think she might have got the door open or someone might have broke in?" I hear the voice again, and my eyes sprung open, the burning taste of alcohol in my head immediately disappearing at the instant, and I begin to think of every possible way my mum would react if she'd see me kissing someone in this position. Realisation hit me like a rock on the head as I realise I wasn't kissing Fred's, Dan's or any of his friends who had always tried to lure me to bed with them or try to kiss me numerous times. Instead, I was kissing Max, my attractive of a cousin, out all people?

"Oh my God, oh my God!" I cried, jumping down from his thigh, hand to my mouth as I take steps back, dumbfounded, as to what I just did. "What have I done?" I muttered, in the midst of tears. "Why didn't you stop me?" A tear slip down to my cheek.

Max, with furrow brows, confused face looking at my priceless one, sat there bemused at my statement. "What?" He said, slightly, and with a scoff.

"You should have—"

"Kira?" I hear footsteps climbing up the stairs and I lose my mind immediately knowing it was mum's.

"No. She can't know." I cried out, puzzled, as to what to do. She will definitely see me crying. She will see my make up smeared from the kiss.. and Max being here alone with me, hair dishevelled, will only sauce things up and she won't stay without asking me questions.

"Kira are you inside?" I hear her voice again and I could only pray for the ground to open to hide me. I didn't know if I should run to lock the door and lie to her I'm feeling sick and don't want anyone inside. But she would surely find out.

Just as I hear the click of the door about being open, Max dragged me by the arm and the next thing, I was seating near him, head falling on his shoulder as he put his hand over my face as if petting me. It all happened in a split seconds, that I remained speechless. "Don't stop crying." He muttered to me and then the door swing open.

"Kira?" As if her eyes lands on us, she exclaim, "Oh my God, what's wrong with her? Is she okay?" Concern lace her voice.

"She's having an headache." Max told her, hands petting my hair like I've been crying. Which eventually is true after my realisation. All while, my head have been on Max's shoulder until she squat to see my teary face.

"Oh my baby. Have she—"

"Yes, I've given her some medicine and she will be fine."

"Oh my dear, I'm so sorry, honey. I should have noticed. Are you okay now?" She asked me and I manage a nod. As if realising something, she looked at us both, Max and I, confused before saying what so ever she had in her mind. "When did you both left the Potter's? And why did you not tell any one of us you were leaving, Kira? You got us worried, thinking you ran or got kidnapped. How did you get to open the door, by the way?" She asked, hands caressing my hair from my face. I was facing her now. Max and I both stared at each other for a split seconds, before focusing on mum again.

"Mum I had a spare, remember?"

"Oh". She realised. "But that doesn't explain why you left without a word. Fred was worried about you, thinking you had left to hide somewhere since you didn't have the house key. I had completely forgotten you still have the spare I gave you, knowing you to be so careless." She said the last part with a laugh, that made me smile at her. I always lost my key. And I know I still would have, if not for the vase where I hide them.

"I'm sorry mum. I wasn't feeling well, that's why I left." It was the truth anyway. But how did I end up straddling my cousin?

Smiling she say, "It's okay, dear. But," she paused, "you'll go give the Potter's a sorry cookies later, okay?" I didn't wanted to see Fred after what happened at his backyard. Not now at least. I was ashamed to see him now that I kissed someone else. And that, my cousin brother.

"Okay mother." I said, looking at my fidgeting fingers on my lap.

"I'll go give them the Cookies instead." Max insisted, as if noticing my fidget. I raised my head to look at him and so as mum. But as soon as he look back at me, I look away to the ground, feeling embarrassed. I can't believe we were just.. kissing only few minutes ago. I finally kissed Max Everton. And now I'm regretting it. If mum or anyone finds out then we will be dead. No, I will be dead.

With her sweetest smile, she smile at her Nephew. "You both are to go." She told him and he shrugged, simply. Simply, like nothing had happened. Simply, like we didn't just share a kiss. Simply, like it doesn't matter. Simply, like the kiss meant nothing, but disgust to him.

Which actually, was all my fault for falling for the devil's plan.
