Recap chap 29:

 “There’s a lot you don’t know about the bond, but you’ll learn soon enough cheri. It’s time to rest now love. Aren’t you exhausted from that incredible work out?” He commented smugly, almost arrogantly and I would have slapped him from annoyance if I had the strength. The truth was that I felt drained of energy, but oddly refreshed in spirit.

Instead of slapping him, I chose to            press my lips to his chest and kiss him gently before murmuring my undying love for him. He kissed the top my head affectionately and professed his love in return. We settled into a comfortable embrace, tangling our bodies, much like the night before, and drifting into a peaceful slumber.

Chapter 30: Discovering Truth

I fully expected this council meeting to get underway in mere days, but it had been nearly two months since Maxim and I had sealed the entwinement. Apparently, time doesn’t always go at the same speed when living in the mystical world and the meetings were held in a heavily guarded and highly exclusive location, deep in the heart of the mystical realm. So as time carried on normally here, it passed almost ten times slower there, so in actuality it had been only 4 or 5 days in mystical time.

As for the council meeting, Gabe commented that the Goddess Quoramina sometimes descended her throne and attended proceedings if she was interested in the case. In a way, I hoped she was interested in Max’s case because I was both thrilled and frightened at the prospect of laying eyes on a god. I was also a bit weary and apprehensive of the meeting. What if Maxim was punished and forced into some terrible ordeal that was entirely my doing because he broke a cardinal rule by trying to protect me.

I couldn’t bear the thought of it. I could not stand to think, even for a moment, that Max would suffer harsh consequences because of me. Hadn’t we both suffered enough?

I was glad however, that neither Carl nor Chester had made any attempt to contact me in the past several weeks. I guess the Dedisco Incantamentum, or forgetfulness spell that Max used on Chester as insurance, had worked perfectly. He must not have remembered what happened when he got out of the hospital and tried to rape me, again. I wanted to forget that and much more from my past as well, but as it is said, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Well, if that’s the case, I should be like the freaking Incredible Hulk by now.

“Trin, let’s go again.” Gabe’s voice sounded and broke me out of my ever present obsessive rambling, or as Max liked to call it, my ‘internal chatter’.  

I had been practicing magic in the past few months, learning spells and how to read the magical books in the weird library I had stumbled upon when exploring the house the day I found out the truth. I thought learning French in high school was bad, but trying to decipher the language of the gods was difficult and infuriating to say the least.

Gabe was my teacher most days, because if I spent any alone time with Max, it inevitably ended up with the two of us naked and in a compromising position. I honestly felt bad for Gabe. The number of times he had walked in on us having sex in various rooms of the mansion was far too many to count.

I couldn’t get enough of Max’s gorgeous body and just being close to him was nowhere near enough to quell the flames that burned inside me. Only Max could put out that fire and his mere presence was more than enough to have erupted a feverous passion in me that only our intimateness could smother. I never thought I could feel so many emotions for one single person, but for Max I felt every imaginable pleasure that existed. Happiness, love, fulfillment, desire and overwhelming need were just a few.
