“So, he’s super fast and super strong?”
“Why is that shocking? Aren’t our vampires super fast and strong?”
“Yes, but not as strong as the wolves.”
“Well, this series doesn’t get wolves until the second movie.”
“There’s wolves?!”
“Yeah, there’s a pack in the local native American tribe.”
“Pack? That’s archaic.”
“It’s a story, Max,” I finally huffed. “Can you just watch?”
Maximus grumbled and dropped my hand to cross hi
arms over his chest. He did not seem to be enjoying Twilight. I, honestly, didn’t blame him. This movie was seemingly glorifying the worst part of our lives at the moment. And badly.
I must’ve not seen the movie since I was a teen because my memories of it were way off. We got as far as the ” evil” vampires showing up in the baseball field when I slowly turned to look Maximus in the eyes. I let my quilt fall gently from my shoulders. Max watched out of the corner of his eye as I turned towards him.
I gently wrapped my arms around his neck and slid into his lap. His eyes went wide as I did. His hands slowly grabbed my waist to steady me. He looked up at me as I continued to wind my arms around his neck.
“I don’t want to watch anymore,” I whispered, putting the most sultry voice I could muster on. Max swallowed and I watched his throat bob.
“What do you want to do instead?” he whispered back.
I dragged my arms down from his neck to run over the expanse of his chest. Then, I leaned forwards and licked a stripe up the side of his neck. I felt him shudder under me, his grip tightening on my hips. I pulled myself back up to look him in the eyes.
“You,” I said back.
That was all Maximus needed to be able to dive forwards and capture my lips in one swoop. He moaned into my mouth and brought his hands higher to cup me right under my breasts. I arched up into him as my mouth continued to suck his tongue. My body pressed against his as my hands slowly raked over his head.
Maximus shoved my shirt up so he could trail kisses down my sternum. Then, he growled before ripping the shirt off me and sucking one of my nipples into his mouth. I ground down on his cock enough that he flipped me onto my back so he could drive himself into me. Despite the layers of fabric, I could feel how achingly hard he was in his pants.
His lips moved from my mouth back to my lips. He continued to pull me apart and allow his hands to wander all over me. His hand dipped below the band of my leggings and I keened off the bed with a cry of pleasure. Then, Max was jerking away from me.
“What oh fuck,‘
I looked across the room to see that the brand spanking new TV that Maximus had purchased for our date, was shattered. And it wasn’t just shattered, it was destroyed. As if someone had punched it into the wall repeatedly. I

looked back at Max.
“Did I do that?” I squeaked.
“I think we did,” Max said slowly.

He pointed at the mirror on the back of his door. It was also shattered and hanging onto the door for dear life. We looked back and forth at each other for a moment before bursting into laughter. Maximus’s head dipped forwards. as he chuckled. He finally pressed one kiss onto my stomach before reaching over and grabbing my shirt off the floor.
I sheepishly put it back on and we sat back on the bed, shoulder to shoulder. I snorted nervously. “Guess we have to get that under control,” I murmured.
“It makes sense,” Maximus mused. “You now have consummated two of your fated bonds. If one of your bonds gave you power, I can only imagine what two would do.”
“Make me horny,” I said.
I immediately slapped my hand over my mouth. Maximus chuckled and pulled them away. He kissed both of my palms and took my left hand back into his lap. He fiddled with my fingers in silence. I watched as he did, his jaw working in thought. Finally, I reached out and covered my hand and his with my own.
“What’s on your mind?”
“Do you know,” he started. “Much about your family?”
“Well, I told you I grew up in the orphanage,” I said, slowly.
“Right,” Max nodded. “But you were never curious? Never looked?”
My breath caught in my throat. I didn’t like where he was going. “I mean, a little, yeah,”
“It’s just” He huffed. “With these powers of yours, I think you may be someone high up. Someone important.”
I shook my head. “I doubt it.”
“Zora,” Maximus turned to face me straight on. “I saw you heal Kairos. After fucking snapping his bones into a million pieces. Not only should you not have been able to do that so easily, you fixed it even easier than you broke it. That power, it’s – it’s unheard of.”
I fidgeted in my seat. I brought my bottom lip between my teeth and gnawed on it. I couldn’t tell him. I had no idea. how he’d react. I looked at him. He seemed to be waiting for an answer.
“I know why,” I said, softly. I shook my head. “But, I can’t tell you.
Max pulled back slightly. “You don’t trust me?”
“I do!” I yanked his hands back towards me. “But it’s for my safety that I don’t tell you. The less people who know, the better.”
“It’s the vampires,” Maximus said. “They’re after you aren’t they?”
My eyes fluttered shut as I curtly nodded. I opened them and cast my gaze to my hands, still intertwined with Maximus’s. I fiddled with his hands.
“That’s what they told me,” I murmured.
