Part 19 Morning of Departure Max stayed in his hiding spot in the trees and watched as the roadblock checked every car. He didn’t know for certain but was pretty sure that the roadblocks were for them. After all Roswell, New Mexico had the greatest concentration of the two groups, alien and X5, and they wanted to make sure that they got them. ‘The others are already gone. You’'re too late.’ He thought. It had been three hours since he talked to Liz and he was still waiting for an opportunity to slip through. His attention waved when he felt the familiar tinge that meant Liz was near. But before he could wander where she was she appeared before him using her astral projection. “Liz, I told you not to come. It’s too dangerous.” “I’ve heard that before. Now listen, in one minute Ava is going to do a mindwarp. When you feel her do it, stay close to the woods and make your way down the highway. The jeep is waiting just past the next turn.” Max nodded, trusting Liz. She knew what she was talking about. In the time that Ava had lived in Roswell, all of the members of the group who had alien in them were able to sense when she mindwarped. It was partly because their powers had gotten stronger and also because they could recognize her energy. He felt the buzzing in his brain that signaled the warp. He crept out of his hiding place and headed the way Liz told him. He had just made it past the soldiers when two more appeared out of the woods. Both soldiers pointed their guns at him, “Hands up.” One of them ordered. Max did as he was told to buy his time before he used his powers. “What are you doing?” “Just walking. My truck broke down about a mile back and was going to see if anyone could help me. The other soldiers looked busy so I was looking around for someone else.” “Yeah, right. Or maybe you’re one of the kids we’re looking for and you were trying to sneak by.” The soldier talking motioned with his gun over to the checkout point. “Why don’t we just take a walk over there?” Just then he saw Liz coming out of the woods, so fast that if he wasn’t used to the way she moved he wouldn’t have seen her. She grabbed the closest soldier’s gun and elbowed him in the face. She jumped in the air kicking the other soldier in the solar plexus before bringing her heel down on the side of his head. He fell to the ground as she snatched the other soldier’s gun away and hit him in the stomach with the butt of it before knocking him out. “Max RUN!” She said. They both took off in the direction of the jeep. They were half way there when they both felt the mindwarp drop but by that time they were far away enough that the soldiers, who had their backs to them, didn’t notice. They didn’t even have time to wonder why Ava had dropped the mindwarp since as soon as they rounded the turn they saw. Ava with one soldier aiming their machinegun at her while another one drug her out of the jeep. Max skidded to a halt and pulled Liz behind a near by tree. They watched as the soldiers started interrogating Ava. Liz whispered an idea to Max quickly and he nodded. She handed him her gun in case he’d need it while she kept the automatic that she had taken off the soldier. The soldiers kept pushing Ava around, and she was sick of it. She would just toss them away with her powers but she wasn’t sure where Max and Liz were. Just as that thought went through her head Liz appeared behind the two soldiers, “Hey I didn’t know soldiers’ orders were to push around the ones they‘re interrogating.” She nodded slightly to Ava, in signal. One of the soldiers turned around to face the new girl but she was faster. She brought her leg up quickly and kicked him in the stomach as Ava slammed the heel of her palm into the others face, stunning him. Ava then raised her hand and sent him flying backwards into a tree. Liz brought her elbow down to the soldier’s back knocking him to the ground. “Come on you two!” Max yelled from the driver’s seat. While Liz had walked up to the soldiers, Max had been able to sneak up to the jeep. He had wanted to be the one to go but Liz had said they wouldn’t think of her as a threat because of her size. Not to mention if she ran into trouble he would be able to raise his shield quickly enough to block any soldiers from the checkpoint if they came. Ava and Liz jumped into the jeep and they sped off for Tucson. “Good hit Ava.” Liz commented. “I learned it from your brother.” Ava managed to get out before they hear gunfire erupt from behind them. “Get down!” Max yelled trying to speed up. Liz managed to look over top of the jeep and saw three soldiers shooting at them. The one she had hit was sitting on the ground next to them shooting as well. He must have told them what had happened. It was then that an army jeep pulled on to the highway to pursue them. The shooters in it had taken up the firing. “Liz, take the wheel!” Max ordered. Liz slide over and took the wheel and replaced her foot on the gas pedal. Max slide-out from under her and turned around. As he did he brought up his shield protecting them from the gunfire. Liz tried to drive faster but not to swerve and run down the steep incline. In doing that she got an idea. “Ava, can you make them think we went down into the incline and crashed?” Ava nodded knowing what Liz was thinking. “How many can you see?” She asked Max. “Three. One driver, two shooters.” Ava closed her eyes and concentrated. Max watched as a moment later the shooting stop and the soldiers’ jeep pulled over to the side. He knew that Ava’s warp was working. He dropped the shield and put his hand on her shoulder to feed her energy, in case she needed it. After they were a couple miles away, Liz turned onto another highway that would let them crisscross their way to Laurie’s and Ava dropped the warp. “Are you okay?” Liz asked her friend. “Yeah, it was no sweat.” She said as they sped off to Tucson. NOTE: I know they probably would have had parts of this discussion a long time ago but I didn't put it in the other stories so I put it in this one. Also as you guys have probably noticed, I ignored the whole Zack loving Max G. thing. Just keep ignoring it. Part 20 “So Alec is Ben’s twin? Which would make him your brother too?” Max asked as he drove. Liz had filled Max in on everything as they drove. “Yeah, except he wasn’t raised with us. Knowing Manticore they probably separated them to see if they developed differently. He was in another unit.” “But I thought you guys were the first unit?” Max interrupted. “We were the first completed unit. Zack, Tinga, Jack, Max, Jondy, and Ben and now I guess Alec were the first ones born in that order, all over the course of a year. Then months after giving birth our mothers were tested to make sure they could be impregnated again. That’s why there are different degrees of age difference between us. Kyle and I were the only third babies; all the other mothers had two. From what Max told me some of our mothers in the end didn’t like giving up their children, several of them were kept locked up between births. After the oldest were born and survived the scientists brought in more surrogates and started another unit. They wanted as many soldiers as possible. We saw them occasionally but not often. If we had seen them more than maybe we would have known about Alec.” “Are you guys related to the other units?” “Except for Alec, no. The mothers weren’t mixed between the units. They wouldn’t want all of the units to be related, it would eventually lead to a weakening of the blood.” “What do you mean?” Ava asked. “Initially, Manticore planned on setting up a breeding camp when we came of age. They wanted two X5s to mate and hoped that the child would be a natural transgenic hopefully even farther advanced.” “Breed?” Max asked knowing what she meant. “Yeah, they were going to pair up couples by their DNA. You know who was the most compatible with who. That’s why we weren’t all related. It would lead to inbreeding and that could cause problems. That way they wouldn’t have to find more surrogates later, their soldiers could carry the next generation.” Liz said disgusted. “You never have explained to me how you are all related but look completely different.” Ava said. “It’s kind of complicated. We’re all related to each other through what could be called our father’s side. They used the sperm from one donor then an egg from each mother. Our mothers are where most of us get our looks. After the egg was fertilized they would go in and alter the DNA, adding the enhancements and the animal DNA that’s mixed in. So we are all at least half, Max and Krit are my only full blood siblings. Kyle’s only full bloods are Jondy and Jack. Then Zack & Syl; Josh & Tinga; Ben, Alec, & Eva and Zane & Brin.” “Do you know who your father was?” Ava asked. “No, we never met any of our parents. The women were gone after they gave birth the last time. We don’t know if Manticore killed them or they just left. All we know about our ‘father’ was that he was someone high up in Manticore.” “It wasn’t Lydecker was it?” Max knew how much they hated Lydecker and hoped he wasn’t the donor. “No, that much we know for sure. It was someone even higher than him.” “Do you think your sister Brin could have escaped like Alec?” Max asked. “No, Krit didn’t tell me until a few months ago but Brin was in the guard room when it blew. He knows she didn’t make it out because he and Syl disengaged the locks so they couldn’t come out while they were laying the explosives. They didn’t know she was in there until the damage was done to the locks.” Liz lowered her head. It still hurt knowing that her sister was working for the enemy. Although it helped to know she hadn’t been the same as the Brin they had grown up with. Manticore had made sure of that when they captured her again. “I’m sorry Liz.” Max apologized for bringing up the memory. He knew Liz missed her siblings that had died. Zack, Kyle and Liz rarely talked about their deceased siblings, even to them. Max had seen flashes of them but that was it, she still blocked a lot about Manticore from him. “It wasn’t really her, Brin died when Manticore put her in for reindoctrination.” Liz cringed as the word passed her lips. “How did Manticore get Brin?” Ava asked. Zack was the same way as Liz when it came to talking about Manticore. She hadn’t gotten him to talk about some of it but some of the things they had done to them and their deceased siblings they kept locked up inside. “She was sick. She had progeria, and was close to dying. Future Max had told me that in his timeline Brin had died the next year from it so I told Zack in the hopes that he could help her. Zack and Max hated to do it but they had to surrender her so that Manticore could help her. It was around the time of the summit. Zack was captured shortly after. He was there for a couple of months. Kyle and I knew something was up when we didn’t hear from him around Christmas. It was right before the whole gandarum thing that he finally managed to escape but he was bugged and almost gave away our locations, he did give away Zane’s, Tinga’s and Jondy’s. Logan sent out a message to warn us. Zane and Jondy were fine, that was when Jondy moved out east but they went after Tinga and she had to go into hiding. She left her husband and Case behind thinking they were safe and they were for about three or four months. When she found out they weren’t she went back for them, you know the rest.” “So is Alec like Ben?” Ava asked. “From what I’ve seen no. Just about the complete opposite. He’s cocky, and a smart aleck. Maybe that’s how he got his name. Kind of like Kyle. Ben wasn’t like that.” “What was he like? Ben, I mean.” Max asked. “When we were kids back at Manticore, he always wanted answers for everything. You know why we were there? What was outside? So he would make up these fantastic stories to explain things. God, Ky and I would sit there and listen to them over and over. He always talked about the Blue Lady, someone we prayed to when things got bad. She was actually a picture of the Virgin Mary. We had a little altar to her. He also talked about the nomalies. They were the first experiments, ordinary people mostly prisoners that had had gene therapy. Manticore experimented on them before they attempted us. Ben said that when a soldier was bad that was where they went but when he was a good soldier, he went to the high place.” They could see the far-off look in Liz’s eyes. “I remember when Zack came and told us. We had just gotten back from Vegas, and Zack was waiting for us. Somehow he had found out that Manticore had Ben's body. They found him in the woods, his neck and leg broken.” “They didn’t know what happened?” Ava asked. Liz shook her head. “They were after him hard. He had killed some people. Alec said that after Ben’s body was found, he had to go into psychops. Probably thought he had gone nuts and wanted to see if it was genetic. If he did kill those people I don’t know why. Maybe living on the outside got to him.” Liz wiped the tears from her eyes. “Can we talk about something else?” “Sure, Liz.” Max said wishing he wasn’t driving so that he could hold her. He felt horrible; he had asked about Ben to get her mind off of her sister and only made it worse. “So how did the meeting with Larek go?” Ava asked trying to change the subject. “I’ll tell you about it when we get to the house, I want everyone there so I don’t have to go over it twice.” Max said. He could see that the subject of him leaving without her wasn’t improving Liz’s mood. He was glad they were close to Laurie’s, he really wanted to talk to everyone. (Note: I hope I explained that right. Basically they all have the same paternity but some have different mothers. In ASF, I mentioned Kyle and Liz didn't have the same mother and so I wanted to explain how they were all related. I also had to explain why they all look different. I matched Maxie, Krit, and Liz because they all have the same dark hair and eyes.) Here are the siblings: Zack & Syl Tinga & Josh Jondy, Jack, & Kyle Max, Krit, & Liz Zane & Brin Ben, Alec, & Eva Part 21 They pulled up to Laurie’s and Max parked the jeep. “Av? Can you go ask everyone to meet up? I want to talk to Liz for a minute then we’ll be in.” Ava nodded and jumped out of the jeep and headed to find everyone. Max held his hand out and pulled Liz into his lap. He leaned over and kissed her deeply. When they pulled away he said, “You know this is beginning to be a habit. I save you, you save me.” “That won’t happen anymore.” Liz said thinking that by the end of the day she’d be alone. “Hey, don’t give up on us yet, you never know how things work out.” He said. She looked at him strangely but he just put a finger to her lips and said, “Come on, the others are waiting.” They made their way into the house and saw that everyone was gathered. With fifteen people plus Max and Liz it was a tight fit but they managed. As they entered the room, Liz was almost knocked over by Maria. “Oh my God Lizzie I was so worried about you. I go to sleep and you’re here then when I wake up, you and Ava are gone.” “I didn’t mean to worry you.” Liz said looking at everyone. Krit said, “See Zack, they made it back in one piece.” “Funny Krit.” Zack mumbled then turned his eyes to their baby sister. “What’s the point in having a family of transgenics as well as friends with alien powers if you don’t use them when you need them? Let us decide if we want to help, it’s our lives. It wasn’t a good idea to go running off by yourself.” “I wasn’t by myself.” Liz started but Zack cut her off. “You didn’t know Ava was with you. You knew you were going to be outnumbered. I understand why you did it but you have to be more careful.” “Fine, I’ll be more careful.” Liz said. “So what have you guys been up to?” “Well after your little display of your powers during your escape we had to tell Alec about everything.” Michael answered. Liz’s eyes drifted to Alec. “Sorry I didn’t introduce you. Alec this is Max. Max, Alec.” Max stepped forward and shook Alec’s hand. “Liz told me how you helped Maxi get out of the hospital. Thank you.” Alec just shrugged, “No problem. She helped me out of a few jams, I was just paying her back.” “Liz also mentioned you got shot in the process, do you trust me enough to heal it?” Max asked. Alec looked the dark haired alien up and down, “Will I end up green like the others?” Max laughed, “No, you’re only changed if I have to heal a fatal injury.” “Then sure.” Alec said. Max reached out and healed the small wound. It wasn’t that bad and he didn’t even have to form a connection to do it. Once he was done he said, “Good as new.” Alec lifted his arm and moved it around, “I definitely see why they keep you around.” “You know Max you need to start charging. You’ve patched enough bullet holes in X5s.” Krit commented. “First Liz, then Ky and finally Maxie. Plus you healed Zack’s shoulder and Alec’s arm.” They all laughed. “How are you feeling?” Max asked the pregnant X5. “Fine. Logan has been being over protective not letting me do anything. I told him I’m fine as long I sleep and eat enough.” Max explained. “But there are a few things. Number one is I was looking over the parts of my chart that Alec was able to grab and the doctors at Harbor Lights figured I was about four months along but I know I can’t be more than six weeks.” “The change in your blood could speed up the pregnancy.” Liz threw in. “That’s what we figured. Oh, and we’re pretty sure that the baby will have powers.” “What?” Liz asked. “Earlier, I was arguing with the guys and I didn’t feel like fighting anymore so I tried to leave. Jack yelled that they weren’t finished yet and reached for me but he couldn’t. There was a shield like Max’s standing between us. I’ve never been able to do that. I think the baby thought we were in danger and defended us. I calmed down and the shield disappeared.” Liz gasped and covered her mouth during her sister’s story. Everyone looked at her and saw tears in her eyes. “What? What is it?” Logan asked. Before Liz answered she looked over at Max and saw his nod. She looked back at her sister and Logan, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. You were right the shield is the baby’s. That’s why I reacted the way I did. I was happy knowing I would have a nephew soon.” “It’s a boy?” Logan asked. Liz nodded. “How do you know?” Maxie asked. “The shield is a physical, not a mental power. Physical powers are given to male Antarians. It said so in the translation of the book. The shield, the healing, the blasts all physical powers. Astral projection, mindwarping, dreamwalking, your transtelekinsis are all mental powers. So since the shield went up it means that the baby is a boy.” Logan pulled Max into a hug as everyone else smiled. When the two broke apart the others moved to embrace them all as well. When things calmed down Zack finished telling them what they had bee doing. “We mapped out the best route to Mexico.” Max held up his hand, “Wait a minute. Before anyone makes plans I need to tell you all something. I might have a way to help everyone.” “Get on with it Maxwell.” Michael said. “I talked to Larek and I might have a solution to keep everyone safe. I figured that since everyone had to flee their lives and since you guys are willing to go to Mexico you might be willing to go a bit farther. I’m offering to give you sanctuary on Antar.” Part 22 “Antar?” Jondy asked. “Like we would go with you?” “Yes. Anyone who wants to go is welcome. You guys can start over there and you will be safe, no one will come after you for what you are.” “Holy shit.” Alec exclaimed. “I told Larek that you guys were being hunted partly because of your involvement with us. I didn’t have enough time to tell him the whole story but we can fill him and my mother when we get there. You can live in the palace. Kivar liked to live extravagantly so the palace is in good condition and you would all have your own rooms. He also said that the Antarians are more open-minded than humans are. Logan would be welcome too.” “But what would we do? With our lives, I mean?” Josh asked. “Well if Liz decides to go, we would still be getting married. You would be the Queen’s family. You could do anything you want. If you would be willing whether Liz goes or not, I would give you positions within the court. I need people I trust and I trust everyone in this room with my life.” Max stated. “If you get there and don’t like it, we can open the portal and let you come back.” “My family needs sometime to discuss this.” Zack said. “So everyone out who doesn’t have a barcode.” Josh stated. “Well except Logan.” “We’ll be leaving tonight. You have until then, we’ll leave you.” Max said as he got up. He leaned over and kissed Liz gently. “I told you not to give up.” She smiled at him before he turned and motioned for Isabel, Michael, Ava and Maria to follow him. Ava and Isabel kissed Zack and Kyle before leaving. When they were all gone, they all sat in silence until Kyle said, “I take back every bad thing I said about Evans.” “I’m with you there Kyle.” Zack said. “Okay everybody we’ve got two choices. Choice A go to Mexico and hide out or Choice B go to Antar. It’s your own decision.” “Liz, what do you think Antar is like?” Jondy asked. “We don’t really know for sure. The only ones who had any memories were the dupes and we know they weren’t reliable. I guess that physically it’ll be similar to Earth since Larek said we would be able to survive there.” “Think about this guys, no running, no worrying about people finding out about us. Since Manticore was gone the heats been off but the danger is back. And this time it’s the army, and they’re not going to be secretive about it. I don’t know about you but I’m sick of living with that.” Zane said. “I’m with Zane. I want our son to be safe, Max too.” Logan said. Max smiled at him, “Are you sure you could give all of this up?” “As long as I’m with you I’m home.” Logan said. “Okay, looks like Logan, Max and me are going, who else?” Kyle said. “Well I was staying so I could help Maxie with the baby so since she’s going I’m going.” Liz said. “I’m in.” Zane said. “Me, too.” Josh added. “Looks a lot better than hiding.” “I gotta see if all Antarian women look like Ava and Isabel so I’m going.” Alec smiled not paying attention to the glares from Zack or Kyle. “I’m not giving up the chance to be part of a royal court.” Jondy threw in. “I can’t let you guys have all the fun.” Syl said smiling. “I agree with Syl, I’m not going to be stuck here while you guys are living a life of style.” Jack stated. “Well hell I’m not going to be the only one left behind.” Krit said. “I’m going too.” Zack answered last. Liz jumped up squealing. She ran around hugging everyone nearly knocking Syl on the floor. She was so happy, she got to go with Max and she didn’t have to give up her family. She got up and headed out the door. “I’ve got to go find Max.” Part 23 Liz ran into the kitchen where the others were waiting, “We’re going!” She practically screamed as she jumped into Max’s arms. She felt them tighten around her in a crushing hug but she was pulled away a minute later by Maria. “Oh I am so happy you are going. I didn’t want to say anything earlier because I didn’t want to make you feel bad but I don’t think I could do it if you weren’t going.” Liz’s smile grew, “Well I’ll be right there with you.” And the two girls hugged again. “I hate to interrupt but Max was going to tell us about leaving tonight and if everyone is going then we should probably go tell everyone.” Michael said. They all headed to join the others and once everyone was settle Max started to lay out the details. “I want sure how long it would take me to get back here so I set our departure time for tonight so we have about eight hours left on Earth. Larek will turn the power source on and once the crystal starts to glow we open the portal like Liz did before. Then we just walk through it and we’ll be safe on Antar. Like Larek said before we will be in a small room off of the thrown room, our families will be there waiting for us.” “How many go at a time?” Zack asked. “I think two at a time would work best, with one man out since we’re odd number.” Max stated. “Maria and I will go first. I don’t think you should go until last.” Michael said to Max. Max nodded and they figured out the order that it would go. Michael and Maria would go first then Zack and Ava. The rest of the X5s and Logan would then follow. After them Kyle and Isabel were next with Max and Liz last. “We shouldn’t leave all of our cars out front. We should take them somewhere and ditch them.” Krit said. “Zane, Krit, Josh, Jack, and I will take them someplace and ditch them.” Zack explained, then turned to Michael. “Does Laurie have a car you could follow us in, so we don’t have to walk back?” Michael nodded, “Yeah, no problem.” “Wait, when our parents are notified about the abandoned cars they will be worried. They offered to help anyone who needed it and I don’t want them to think something bad happened.” Liz stated then got an idea. “Logan can you send out another message? To let them know that we’re leaving Earth? That way we can tell all the parents instead of a couple if I projected to them or Isabel dreamwalked them.” “That could cause problems for them, the army has them under surveillance and if we say we’re leaving Earth then they’ll bug them more.” Max threw in. “Not if we word it right.” Liz said as she grabbed a piece of paper and started to write. She wrote it quickly then handed it to Logan. Logan read it then smiled. “It’s perfect. I just need my laptop and the rest of equipment.” “I’ll get it.” Maxie said. She went and grabbed the laptop along with the bag of equipment. Logan set everything up, took off his glasses, and started the message. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST YOUR SET. THIS IS AN EYES-ONLY SCREAMING FREEDOM MESSAGE. IT CANNOT BE TRACED, IT CANNOT BE HACKED, IT IS THE ONLY FREE FORM OF SPEECH LEFT. THIS IS THE LAST MESSAGE EYES ONLY WILL BE SENDING AND IT IS TO THE ONES WHO OVER THE YEARS HAVE OFFERED SHELTER TO X5S AND THE FOUR SQUARE. ALL OF US HAVE FOUND A SAFE HAVEN AND ARE LEAVING. IT IS UNKNOWN IF WE SHALL BE BACK BUT KNOW THAT WE ARE WELL 'UP NORTH.' OUR THANKS GO OUT TO YOU. PEACE. Logan shut off the camera and took off the headset. “I’ll run it again before we leave just in case they missed it.” “Thank you. I know my parents would worry about the others if they didn’t know they were going with us.” Liz said. “That was good Liz.” Zack said, “We better get going.” The guys left to drop off the cars. Liz and the others headed to kitchen to eat while Max went upstairs to take a shower. When Liz finished eating she decided she needed some time alone with Max and snuck upstairs. Part 24 Liz quietly shut the door behind her. She could hear that the shower wasn’t running and figured Max was already done with his shower. She headed for the adjoining bathroom when the door opened and Max walked out shirtless and in a fresh pair of jeans. His hair was still wet and hung slightly over his eyes. Liz thought he looked gorgeous. “Feel better?” Max looked up suddenly and saw Liz had come into the room. He had felt her before he came out of the bathroom and knew she was close but didn’t think she would be in the bedroom. “Yeah, the UFO center doesn’t exactly have a working shower.” “Good,” Liz said as she walked up and ran a finger down his chest. Like always-just being in his presence was affecting her body. She inhaled his manly scent and wanted to taste him but was waiting for him. Seeing the look of desire in her eyes, Max couldn’t help but kiss her. Like always their connection sprung up instantly. They could both feel each others desire and the passion in their kisses grew. Max pulled his lips off her mouth and began to trail kisses down her jaw line to her neck. Liz let out a small moan when she felt his lips continue to her shoulders and started pushing him back to the bed until his legs hit the bed. He fell back and Liz straddled him. She felt like she couldn’t get close enough to him. She rocked her hips in the attempt to close what little space there was in between them and came in contact with the hard evidence of his arousal. The small contact made her arousal ache even more and she continued to grind her heat into him seeking relief. The feel of her soft skin and the low moans he heard just fueled him on. When he felt her grinding into him he moved back up to her lips. They continued like this for a little while until the need to taste more of Liz overwhelmed him. He reached to the hem of her shirt and started pulling it up. He broke off the kiss and rid her of the shirt. He leaned forward and kissed his way from her neck to her breasts. He took one of her nipples in his mouth and began to tease it with his tongue. He sucked on it bringing it to a hard-aroused peak before moving to do the same thing to the other one. Liz could feel the ache between her legs growing even more at the feel of Max’s mouth on her. In the attempt to get some control over her body she pulled his head up to her and began to ravish his mouth. As she did, she began to run her hands over his muscular chest. She broke off the kiss, and began to explore his chest with her mouth. As she made her way down to his navel she undid his jeans. When Max moved to stop her she grabbed his hands and pinned them to his sides. Squeezing them to show him that she wanted him to keep his hands at his sides, she went back to her task. She pulled down his zipper as she kissed along his waistline. She gave a gentle tug on the jeans and Max raised his hips to allow her to pull them off. Once the jeans were completely off Liz crawled her way back up Max’s body sprinkling butterfly kisses along the way. When she reached his lips she began kissing him again and ran her hand down his chest to his boxers. Her hand was just inside when Max stopped her again but this time he said, “My turn.” He flipped her over and kissed his way down back down to her breasts, laving his tongue over both as he rid her of her jeans. He hooked his thumbs in her panties and pulled them down her shapely legs. He kissed his way from her ankle to her thighs eliciting more moans. “Shh, you have to be quiet, love.” Liz nodded her understanding but didn’t think she’d be able to especially after Max used one hand to spread her legs and kissed his way down to her center. He could tell how aroused she was and ran his tongue experimentally down her center. When she bucked her hips he continued until he felt her shuddering from her oncoming orgasm. “MAX!” Liz yelled. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ “Oh my God.” Syl exclaimed. “Well I just lost my appetite.” Jondy stated. “What? What’s wrong?” Maria just looked at them and the other X5s as they all grimaced. Alec just laughed. “Well these two are commenting on the fact that they can hear their little sister upstairs screaming Max’s name. And by the sound of it, she’s not pissed, quite the opposite.” “Eww, I didn’t want to know that. I’m glad my hearing isn’t as good as yours.” Isabel stated. “I bet we could be louder.” Kyle said smirking. “I’m glad Zack or the other guys aren’t here. They’d all be blowing a gasket.” Ava commented. Everyone looked at Kyle, knowing how protective he was of Liz, to see if he would say anything, “I'm not stupid enough to go up there. I saw how she treated Zack last time he tried to stop the two of them and I don’t want to be executed the moment I step on Antar.” “I hope there are some good looking guys on Antar, I’m sick of being one of the only two single girls in this group.” Jondy stated. They all decided to retreat outside to the pool so that the ones with transgenic hearing couldn’t hear the two lovers upstairs. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ When she came down from her high, he made his way back up her body and began to kiss her. She didn’t lie still for long. She flipped him over on his back and removed his boxers. Max hissed loudly when he felt Liz’s small hand surround his straining cock. When she began to move up and down, Max knew he wouldn’t last long. “You keep doing that it will be over before it starts.” Max said. She raised her hands and began petting other parts of him. When she was sure he was calmed down enough she asked, “Max, do you have?” Knowing she was asking about a condom he shook his head and retrieved one from his wallet. He rolled it on himself and had just positioned himself on top of her when she flipped him over again. She grabbed a hold of him and impaled herself on him. “Oh my God, Max!” Liz gasped as she flung her head back. She began to ride him and they reached a rhythm that they both liked. Liz continued to ride him until she felt herself start to go over the edge again. Max felt her muscles tighten around him and let himself go. After they calmed down and cleaned themselves up Max pulled Liz into his arms and they laid down on the bed together. “I can’t believe we’re all going to Antar.” Liz stated. “As soon as we get there we’ll start planning our wedding. I already talked to Larek and he said that it would help raise spirits.” “Will we be able to have it soon?” Liz asked. “Probably, the sooner the better. Until we’re married we’ll have separate quarters.” Max explained. “The others can share rooms but something about the King and future Queen cohabiting won’t sit well.” “This I guess this is the last time we’ll do this for a while. Unless I can sneak into your chambers.” Liz smiled. “I sleep better when I’m next to you.” “When was the last time you slept?” Max said worriedly. He knew that Liz didn’t need to sleep much and could function well. But he also knew that she would be pushing herself and not taking rest when she needed it. “The night the others left Roswell. I’m fine.” Liz said. “We better head downstairs and see what the others are up to.” They both got dressed and went in search of their families. Back Next LittleBit |
