Our Chemistry

Arrival

The night sky is as beautiful as the day sky. Stars aligned in every angle stare right at us. We've been by the pool all day and it's dark out now, with the appetising meals and swimming a thorough shower is needed.

"Hello". The blonde guy from the pool earlier startled me as I was wrapping my body with a towel.

"Um hi?". I reply, I wasn't in the mood to be talked to right now, I reek of pool chemicals and need a shower immediately.

"Shall I take you for the tour right now?". He asks me hopefully. His eyes roam around my body and I get a sudden urge to walk away from him. Something isn't right.

"No, I'm quite tired actually, maybe some other time?". I politely refused.

"Hey come on, it is so pretty out today I will show you how to have a good time. Give me a chance?". He pouts. I don't have a good feeling about this at all but I take a chance, how bad can it be?

"Alright, may I please tell Maddy? So she isn't worried about me". I ask nicely.

"Ah yes whatever you want". He brushes it off and I feel a little ease flow through me, at least he isn't a serial killer, I hope?

"Maddy?". I call her, she walks out of the closet and comes towards me.

"Lara?". She questions.

"I'm going on a little tour with the blonde dude, wow I don't even know his name I literally just realised that. But hey if I don't come back in 30 minutes alert everyone and call the cops also quickly take a picture right now of him as I leave. I will text you his name". I warned her.

"Hey don't scare me like that, but yes I understand. Please stay safe Lara". She hugs me quickly and sends me off.

"I'm back, what is your name by the way?". I inquire.

"Call me Max, Lara". He replies. Cute name. Hold the f**k up.

"How do you know my name?". I demand taken aback. We had only walked a few minutes off the trial path. If I screamed loud enough people from the pool would definitely hear me.

"I know everything about you Lara. This isn't a coincidence this was planned very meticulously. For you all of it just for you". He explains.

"What do you mean planned for me, what is planned? I swear to god if you come any closer I will scream Max I will really f*****g scream". I warn him as I quickly take my phone out and begin to call Maddy. Before I can even process it, with the speed of light he jumps in my direction and tosses the phone out of my hand.

"I'm afraid I can not let you do that". He smirks.

"Agh". I begin to scream as his hand covers my mouth and he lets out a wince as if touching me physically hurts him.

"Please stop, you're hurting me I will explain everything just listen to me first". He begs me. I look into his eyes and they change color right in front of me. From a dark blue almost navy they glow and turn into the brightest blue with a glowing gold circle in between.

"Your eyes". I mumble against his hand.

"f**k, touching you is phasing me. See this is how you affect us". He scolds me and removes his hand from my face. He falls to the ground and clutches his chest.

"What the hell are you talking about? I could not be more confused by this Max". He eagerly asked. He stands up and pushes his hair from his face.

"Trust me a little, I am not supposed to do this but let me show you". He speaks in a low voice. Just as I begin to speak he his eyes turn even more brighter, as if it was possible. He gently puts his hand on the back of my nape and kisses me. I did not see it coming. I wanted to stop but I couldn't, so I kissed him back. His tongue swirls in my mouth and soon I feel the burning sensation. It hurt me, it was nothing like before with Vivienne. It was actually burning me. I push him off me and fall to the ground, my body a heaving mess and all energy leaves my being. I couldn't move a muscle as every fiber of my being burned.

"What is happening to me!?". I scream in agony.

"Please, this is how it is supposed to happen. You have to let me give you more". He growls. He actually growls, it was an apparent low hum coming from the base of his throat. He sits me up and presses his body against mine.

"You're burning me". I yell at him and try to fight my way away. He was too strong and the drug was working too quickly.

"Stop fighting Lara, this is me being gentle please believe me". He protests. He cradles my face in his hands and kisses me again. Hot liquid burns my throat all the way to my stomach. As if molten lava was being poured in me. He keeps kissing me and parts my legs. I do not have the energy to resist and start to cry. Feeling my tears against his skin he stops immediately and stands up.

"Are you crying Lara?". He asks.

"Yes, you are about to-". I reply but he cuts me off.

"God no! You still don't understand". He yells at me. "Touch yourself, look at how wet you are. This is new to you I get it you're confused but that is not what's happening here Lara for f***s sake". He speaks. Where is my cockblocker when I need him?

"You've out done yourself Maxwell". A voice too familiar speaks.

"Alpha?". He questions. "This isn't what it looks like I was only getting her used to it, you must understand she will die if she isn't used to it". He reasons.

"Was that your decision to make? Are you forgetting your place again?". He threatened him.

"Never". He replies firmly and drops to his knees. "Please forgive me". He begs him.

"Get out of here, I must undo the damage you just caused".He replies. He makes his way towards me and before I get to see his face the familiar dizziness takes over me and a warmth spreads over my body. Relief flushes against my skin and my eyes willingly close shut as I fall asleep yet again.
