says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : For a couple of days he went between sleep and agony. Each time a little less pain and little more lucid. By the time the pain stopped he was fully aware of Alyx behind him, holding onto him tightly. So it wasn't a dream. He really is here. He wonders what happened, but doesn't want to ruin the moment of them together again. there is plenty of time for the conversation. He revels in the touch of his love, his life. A sigh leaves his lips as he nestles in closer, his hand on Alyx's arm

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: He'd spent the previous hours with Max, either curled up on the bed with him, or sitting in the chair which Karin had brought in the room on the first night.
Karin, for her part, kept blood and food readily supplied for her 'guests'. She was gone when Alyx had crawled back on the bed with Max, snuggling close while he rested. A smile crossed his face, briefly dimming the shadowed sorrow which was in his eyes.
He pressed his face against Max's back at the sigh, tightening gently the hold he had on him while he placed his hand on Max's. "How are you feeling" for the sign sounded easier...less strained to his ears

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : He caresses your hand and sighs again, his eyes closed and body no longer trembling as he lay there. He had been vaguely aware of you during those two days, but each day brought greater clarity and heartbreak that he'd broken as he had.
Like I've been put through one of those wringer washing machines a number of times. But I'm here.
He turns in your arms and buries his face in your neck, holding onto you. He has no words at the moment, he just needs to feel you, hold you and nuzzle that delicous neck of yours. Taking in your scent, letting it calm him all the more and reaffirming that you really are here.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "there we go," he soothed quietly when you turned to face him, cupping his hand at the back of your head to hold him nestled close. "How did you come to be here? I searched for you," his voice broke slightly, the embrace tightened again. "No, no, we'll not talk about it now. Just let me feel you." Though he didn't say it, he wanted to fill his nostrils with the scent of his Max, feel the energy of the man he thought was gone from him forever.
The scent of the narcotic remnants in Max's blood gave a slightly bitter tinge to his nostrils, but by and large it was all Max and he found himself closing his eyes, whispering a soft thank you. He knew most of what remained would be cleaned in a shower an within a couple of days of feeding and rest. But he knew, the worst of the effects were gone.

says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : It's probably a good thing that you said not right now. He's not sure he can fill in the blanks just yet. They are coming but it'll take a bit for everything he will remember to come back.
The feel of your arms around him, your hand at the back of his head was a comfort he didn't think he would ever feel again. To feel you against him in any way was something he never thought would happen again. As you whisper thank you, he nods slightly then whispers
"I love you Alyx"
yes that foul stench will be gone from him soon. And he needs a shower. The sponge baths are all great, but he really needs a shower. Though he doens't think he can walk on his own right now. His legs don't feel like his own yet. His arms tighten around you wanting no part of you not touching him. If he could be pressed to your back and front at the same time.. it would happen, But of course he can't, no one can.. but this is enough.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: The words of love were heard only in his memory over the past year (plus). Now he could replace the old words with new ones and a new memory. The love remained. "I love you too my Max," he replied with a gentle kiss as he turned his head slightly down to press his lips on Max's head. He breathed in a sigh, picking out a desire as he always did with Max. "Do you remember our first night?" he smiled at the memory, the embrace stronger as memories assailed him. "Do you feel up to getting a shower? Katarina..." he hesitated as he realized Katarina was gone. "Galadriel can put fresh sheets on the bed, you'll be much more comfortable."
"I will be more comfortable," he gently teased slightly forcing a smile into his tone. He wasn't in the laughing mood yet, but teasing...that just showed Max his love.
(06/06/24 04:36:41 pm) Ecstacy's Dark Angel Maximillian Wurtemburg | Max | | Vampire | | Master of Shadows | | He is the Shadow that follows you into the Dark Places |
says to ALL: My Max.. He'd heard those words in his head so many times, and now his ears were hearing it again. It made everything seem all the better, well to a degree.
He nods softly to the question, eyes closing the kiss to his head
"Yes, I do. It was like waking up from a nightmare into a better dream."
he smiled thoughtfully. Nodding softly and smiling
"I would love to, I just don't know if I can walk on my own."
he was glad for the uncertainty, it kept you close to him, you flesh against his. But he would like a shower very much, even more so with you

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "Come on, sit up." helping you to sit, he stretched himself up sliding off the narrow bed. "Galadriel dear?" he called out to her. "Can you put fresh sheets on the bed?" of course he assumed Katarina had extra sheets somewhere. "I'm going to bath Max," he added as he stood and turned to Max."
Drawing off the sheet, he chucked again, "well you don't need to undress." with that observation, he drew off his shirt and pants, his shoes and socks having been removed days before.
"Hang on," with that same teasing smile he'd given you so many years before when they first met, he motioned you to your feet, and before you could stand erect, he'd captured you up in his arms to carry you to the bathroom. "dial it how you want it," as he stepped next to the shower. He preferred a more tepid shower at times, but had the feeling Max needed it hotter than normal.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : He goes to sit up as help him sit up. He watches you and smiles, sighs lightly at the eight or you.
When Galadriel comes in she nods softly, "Definitly Alyx." she looks to Max smiling brightly clearly happy to see that he's doing much better. As you pull the sheet off clearly she's not as innocent as she appears because she doesnt blush only smiles even when she notices he is semi erect. Though she does blush when he wiggles his brows at her. Then she laughs and shakes her head.
Even as you disrobe infront of him though his eyes shift to you, his gaze moving over your body with a deep hunger. Yes he could definitely eat you.. when he has energy enough to do it justice of course.
He lets out a laugh as you suddenly pick up and carry him to the bathroom. To Galadriel he looks with the look of a damsel, one leg pointing out and batting his lashes making her laugh as she gets to taking the bed apart with a shake of her head.
As you step up to the shower, he dials it hot. You are right, he needs it hot. If it would burn the shit from him faster he would take it, but for now he just wants to feel.. more than you, though you would be enough on any day. "That's perfect!"

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: Max was always in a perpetual state of 'half' erection. A breeze would bring that fully to life. But now wasn't the moment. "Thank you Gal dear." for he'd taken to calling her dear most of the time. As he lifted up Max, his gaze lingering for a moment on Galadriel, he thought of Anne and Annabel, closing his eyes briefly to shield his expression, though he could not shield the emotion.
"I've got you love," as he carried Max to the bathroom, hiding the smile that threatened to erupt at the playful antics of both Max and Galadriel. It did his soul good to hear the laughter. Damn, a sound he thought was gone forever.
"Now down," he eased you down, deliberately positioning himself and you so you had to slide the length of his body. Not a difficult feat as he was smaller in stature but not..size.
"Alright love," as the water became as hot as hot could be, stepping into the shower to pull you in with him. "Should I hold you up?" as he let his hands smooth up the arms which were not as muscular as he remembered. Drugs had done a great deal to his loves magnificent body.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : Galadriel knew of Anne and Annabel, from what Alyx had told her and knew of the pain.. even if he tried to sheild her from it. She notices more than she lets on as she pulls the sheets free and gathers them into her arms as Alyx takes Max to the bathroom. she'll have the bed made before they return.
You set Him down in the shower and he holds onto the wall and you. The feel of the water on his body was almost as rejuvinating as the feel of your body against him. He shakes his head, once he gets his feet and legs under him
"I should be good."
Yes, the drug had emancipated him. He fed only because it was necessary, and never enough because he usually tripped out on the drug before he could and the person was taken away from him or left before he could recover to drink more. It didn't end his need for blood, but gave him the impression that he'd had enough.. when clearly he didn't. And blood just didn't taste like blood anymore.
"Just don't stop touching me. I need to feel part of you against me."
this was the panic that maybe you would diappear, though he tried to hide it from his voice he knew it wasn't hidden from you at all.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "Good?" He tipped his head eying you carefully. "Are you sure?" His teasing was gone in a heartbeat of Galadriel's thump thump. "Never..never.." for he'd stopped..or been denied for far too long. "I'm here. I won't leave you" He'd never let you leave him again either. For good or ill, they'd never part again...he wouldn't allow it.
He gently guided you to the spray of water until it soaked the hair which had been lightly bathed but not sufficently washed for his opinion. "Close your eyes," as if the soapy water would bother him, they both knew different. It'd take several minutes, but he devoted the time to washing twice over Max's hair...top to mids, He just couldn't deny himself a chance to touch his Max more intimately.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to ALL: He nods
"I"m sure."
a breath of relief heard at your words of never leaving him
"And I will never leave you.. ever again."
though he was pretty sure you'd also never let him out your sight. And if you needed to be somewhere, he was going with you. If you needed to find someone, he would help. He'd been a little put off that Annabel asked you but seemed to not want him to come. That probably made it worse when you didn't come back within the time frame you said. He'd even waited longer than that. Still you didn't come back and it broke him. He did try looking for you.. nothing.
But you are here now and he was never letting you go again.
At the instructions to close his eyes, he does. The soapy on his hair was heaven. Whatever Karin had been using was ok.. but even he was used to a much better wash than that.
And that intimate touch.. he craved it.. loved it.. wanted so much more. But perhaps when he's more.. himself.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "No more wars?" though it had been years since you'd had the need for the bloodlust of battle. He still wanted the reassurance of your staying . It seems they were both of the same mind, needing the other to affirm their continued presence.
The washing of the hair continued to the washing of the body, letting Max lean against him as he needed, bending town to scrub toes which had needed a serious cleaning up ankles, legs until he forced himself to focus only on the bathing.
"Almost done love, then you can rest," he turned his face away as he cast a critical eye over Max, ensuring the last of the soap and shampoo was gone. "Just a towel away," he said with a light caress of his hand on Max's cheek, searching his eyes. "so much...so damned much," the words only half of what he thought in how much he had missed him.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to ALL: He smiles lightly at that question
"Only if you are coming with me, my Love."
in truth, his taste for war was slowly fading. He didn't like to be away from you anymore, even before this last time. He'd only not insisted on going because Annabel had insisted only you. Next time, he won't concede to what anyone wants. He is going with you.
He enjoyed this shower with you. It had been far too long since you and he had showered together. Next time will much better though.
His eyes opening to watch you as you bath him and clean him from head to toe. He felt so much better and he didn't think that was possible since waking up in your arms.
As your hand caresses his cheek, he own rising to caress yours, nodding
"Yes.. so damn much."
knowing what you didn't say and agreeing. He draws you close to wrap his arms around you, closing his eyes. HOlding you close for a few minutes before releasing you so he and you can dry off and get back to bed.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: He didn't want to part even for those few moments which would give him the time to towel dry Max and himself. Then again, ....vampire...
Within scant seconds they were toweled off, their hair scrubbed quickly to take most of the water away before he lifted Max up again. He was certain he really didn't need to at that moment, but he needed to. He needed the closeness. The weight of his love in his arms.
The walk back to the be was slower, seeing the fresh sheets on the bed. "Thank you Gal dear." to her with a smile and brief shifting of his gaze upward at the sound of thunder. "sounds to be a storm love. The highlands all over. tonight." he smiled at the thought. Some of their best nights had been storm laden times.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : he enjoyed being towelled off and let out a soft chuckle at being picked up. NO, he could have walked, but he also needed this, the touch and he held onto you, his face nuzzling your neck. Entering room he smiles also Galadriel who nods to both
"Need anything, just call. If you need to feed.."
she left the rest unsaid. Alyx already knew he could call and if Max needed it, he could ask as well. Though she figured he would drink first from Alyx anyway. She slips out of the room.
Max, looks to the window, nodding about the storm
"Should be a good night then."
he doesn't remember the last time he was lucid during a storm. He was looking forward to this one. He crawls back into the bed, under the sheets waiting for you to join him.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "Always," he said to Galadriel, favoring her with a smiling wink. She could see the weight had lifted from his shoulders and his expression had lightened without the dark shadows which she'd always seen hovering over him.
"A better night than I've had in a long time," he admitted as he made sure he was settled in bed before moving over him to nestle against his back, his own back tight against the cold wall. "I expect you to sleep," he teased gently, wrapping his arms about Max as he had earlier. Wit his face nestled to Max's neck he inhaled deeply, trembling in reaction. "Could bottle that up," he murmured softly.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : Galadriel grins softly at the wink as she leaves them alone. She was happy to see the dark shadows gone that had hung over you. Words could not express it, but you could feel it.
Max smiles to her as she leaves and as you join him. NOdding at the better than in a long time. He could say the same thing, but he didn't have to.
Inhaling as your face finds his neck. He nods when you tell him you expect him to sleep.
"I will, as long as you are here. I feel better than I have in a very long time."
words spoken softly, just above a whisper, his hand on yours as it's wrapped around him. Oh how he'd longed for these moments for so long he was going to enjoy them for more than even he would enjoy making love. That was just the icing on the cake.. these moments were the cake.
"As long as you bottle up yours too my Heart!"
he chuckles lightly, happily.. content to have you back.

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "don't know about that, no one cares for us old Scots.," he teased kissing the bare shoulder, murmuring quietly, 'damn'...before the embrace grew more firm as if ensuring neither of them would move for the next several hours.
He briefly wondered, where was Katarina, then put her from his mind as he allowed himself the freedom of breathing in your scent and feeling your body tucked close to him. (06/06/24 07:27:44 pm) || Jacobean Ecstasy ||

says to Ecstacy's Dark Ange: "good..." he whispered softly as he felt the tug of sleep ..or rather...the need for rest...drawing him into a more relaxed state. "I'll watch over you." and he would as the hours pass, his senses would be completely tied up with Max.
"Soon we'll go home," he assured him, then wondered would he?..would they?. Would she? "tomorrow you'll feed," the request not really a request.

says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : He chuckles at that
"I care my love, my heart. Always."
and he'll fight anyone who tells him not to. Ok so he might not fight them, but they will be tortured fully for even thinking it's a possiblity.
He too wondered where Karin was, but he could feel the need for rest starting to tug at him. He nods to your words. He will need to. Closing his eyes as you tuck him closer to you. He is relaxed for the first time in a long time. The storm is comforting, though not nearly as much as being in your arms.
"Mmm.. Yes Love.."
soft, sleepy are the words spoken. Your scent still find him, calming his heart.. he knows your not going anywhere.

..:Karin's House:.. ...South of Li Chin Shoppe... ..Chinatown.. .Southside, Chicago.
says to || Jacobean Ecstasy || : He chuckles at that
He nods softly as you say you'll watch over him, with a soft
"Mmmhmmm"
sleep took him quickly, though he did hear that soon they would be home. He smiles, then sleep takes him.
Galadriel whispers, hearing your words to Max
"I"ll watch over you both"
a smile on her lips. She'd slept already when she knew Alyx was awake. For now she moves back towards the room. She doesn't go in, but curls into a big comfy chair just outside the door. Listening and watching over you both.. Taking a soft breath, glancing into the room with a smile before splitting her focus on the book infront of her and keeping watch over her two favorite vampires.
