to
my plate. I watched him chop an onion. I wasn’t so hungry anymore,
well, at least not for food. My hands were still touching my
sensitive lips. Un-freaking-believable. I have always
dreamed of this day. For how long did I watch the others and
wondered when I would finally have my first kiss too. And now? I
was just blown away. I never could get why Lada and all the others
girls would melt down and just be a pile of jelly. Now I know why. It was amazing!
“Are you alright?” Max brought me back to
reality.
“Yes,” was my only reply.
He frowned at me. “Are you mad at me?”
“No.” Why couldn’t I seem to form more
than one word?
He walked over to me and took the chair
opposite me. “Finish up and let’s get to work. We have a big day in
front of us.”
I looked down at the sandwich and nodded. I
heard him get up and go back to the counter. What if this might
actually work out? What if we really become mated?
I didn’t hear him approach; I was too deep in
thought. He pulled me up and lifted me so our faces met again. His
lips descended on mine again, and we started kissing all over
again. I enjoyed it. I actually craved it. Finally breaking apart,
he let his head rest against mine. “It’s like a drug. I can’t seem
to stop.” He breathed heavily.
Neither could I. It was a drug, a very
great one.
“Thank you.” I just had to say it.
He lifted his head and looked at me. “No,
Nanini, thank you. Never before has a kiss felt like this. If you
give me the chance, I promise to make it even better each time,” he
all but begged.
“Okay, but no funny stuff.” I tried to make a
serious face like Chax.
He laughed and kissed me again, and he placed
me back on the floor. “Come on, I just heard the first door open.
They are going to storm this kitchen at any moment.” He pulled me
over to the counter and placed some cheese in my hand.
Just then Ben came walking into the kitchen.
“I hope that is food. I am starving.” He sat down at my plate and
eyed my half eaten sandwich. I looked back at Max, who smiled at
me.
I don’t know where Max and I would be in a
week or two. We might die today trying to protect this world. We
might die tomorrow. But for the first time in my life, I had
something that I wanted. Not duty, not obligation. Just
something for me. Something that I was going to give a
chance, no matter what tomorrow might bring. Something I could
always say was mine, and mine alone. I had a mate, and I was going
to fight to have him.
