Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605: 605-Melting Away

Helanie:

"You’ve gone crazy. Even if you don’t believe me, you said you didn’t want to do it anymore," I kept yapping nonstop while Maximus dragged me back to Rune’s mansion with him. Rune’s guards said they wanted us in his bed before he lost his mind, but since Maximus was clearly on board, they let him handle me.

But I was in shock and panicking. Maximus was supposed to remember everything — why didn’t he?

"Maximus, I’d rather kill myself or Rune, than do it," I yelled as he dragged me into Rune’s bedroom where everything was set up for the night. By everything, I mean candles lit, wine, and sex toys on the table.

The guards didn’t come inside with us. As Maximus made me sit down on the bed, he bent down and cupped my face hard in his hand.

"That’s what we have to do to get out of here," he whispered into my face, and my body started to relax.

"You—," I began, and he blinked his eyes tightly.

"I’ll chew his hands off if he touches you. But we have to pretend," he muttered before pulling away. "Our child can have a good life if we do it. He’s offering us a lot, baby."

He kept up the fake tone to sound convincing.

"I don’t want to do it anymore," I yelled, continuing with my fake anger.

"Baby, try to understand. We can live such a happy life. It’ll be just one night," he came closer and held my hands. I noticed the longing in his eyes. "I want to have a family with you. I’ve waited so long for us to be together and happy." Those weren’t fake statements—he gently touched the mark on his neck and smiled.

"I knew you’d be able to convince her. A woman always listens to her baby daddy," Rune walked in, looking fresh as if he’d just taken a shower. His sight and presence were so full of negativity that I had to take a deep breath and exhale to feel normal.

"She was just scared," Maximus replied before looking down and then at my stomach. I knew where his attention went.

"We should get started before she gets distracted again," Rune smirked, his eyes hungrily scanning my body from head to toe.

I squeezed closer while gulping. He was probably thinking Maximus had made me lose myself instead of me waking him up.

"Sure," Maximus said, getting into the bed. "Wait, I want you to use the toy of my choice on her." The way Maximus paused showed that even thinking about letting Rune touch me was too much for him.

He leaned in while unbuckling his pants to kiss me, and I kept leaning back on the bed in fear. I had no clue what we could do now. All I knew was that Maximus had woken up. But how long are we supposed to linger it? _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

His eyes locked onto mine, shock clear in them. As soon as I stabbed his heart, I watched purple blood pour out. All that red blood was just an illusion. He let out a painful howl while I watched him, then he started to chuckle. Maximus wrapped his arms around me, pulled me off Rune, and dragged me to the side of the bed.

He held me from behind as we watched Rune have a seizure on the bed. His guards had gotten inside but were melting, turning into purple liquid.

"I’m feeling dizzy," I told Maximus, who spun me around and hugged me tightly. Resting my forehead on his chest felt so amazing. I was at peace.

"Me too. I think this is it," Maximus said.

"You—freed—me," Rune mumbled through static. I closed my eyes tightly because the noises and purple blood were making me nauseous.

I felt Maximus’s body rock, and that’s when I knew the dream prison was collapsing. Everything started melting, and I had no idea if we had done it or if we would melt too.

Soon, my legs felt liquid too, and I raised my head from Maximus’s chest to look into his eyes in horror.

"It’s okay, we’re going home," he whispered quickly before everything turned purple and my eyes closed.
