Addison felt slightly crushed beneath him, but she didn't mind—there was a strange comfort in the way he held her like this, as if even in exhaustion, he couldn't bear to let her go.
Maxwell looked completely spent, his strength drained after their intense union, just like what had happened to Levi and Zion before him. It was as if claiming her in this way took something from them…
While the others were drained, Addison felt brimming with power and enveloped in a warm, comforting energy, making her feel even more guilty. But unlike the others, Maxwell still had the strength to smirk as he looked at her.
"Addie, that was amazing..." he said, his voice light and breathy, his smile making Addison's heart skip a beat. He slowly shifted to the side to give her some space to catch her breath, then gently pulled her into his arms, savoring her warmth.
"Addie, I can't seem to get enough of you... Can we do it again?" he asked, surprising her.
