HOURS LATER, HE HEARD singing. Both female and male voices grew a little louder as they approached from the corridor. He hoped beyond hope that it was Elizabeth and her friends returning.
Maximus stuffed his shorts and phone back into the harness and shifted just moments before the door opened.
A guy came in first then Helga. Finally, another guy entered, carrying Maximusâs unconscious asset draped over his shoulder. What the hell?
He smelled alcohol. A lot of it.
At least someone had the presence of mind to protect Elizabethâs dignity by draping a sweater over her delectable ass. The guy carrying her leaned over her bed and dropped her onto the mattress. Pickles jumped up next to her and confirmed that she was alive and breathing. Someone had gotten her good and drunk, and she had passed out.
He growled at Helga. How could she let this happen?
She wasnât in much better shape. It looked as if she had to use the first guy as a support post in order to stand. She weaved as they turned to leave.
âShe you later, Elishabeth,â she slurred.
Max wanted to bite her in the ass in the worst way but had to control his animal instincts. A dangerous seeing-eye dog would get them both kicked out.
Instead, he licked Elizabethâs face, trying to bring her around. It was useless. She was down for the count, and those clowns were going to leave her like that. She could choke on her own vomit.
He was starting to panic. What might she have said while under the influence of whatever they gave her? She could have been drugged for all he knew.
When the singing in the hall faded away, Max shifted back to human. He rolled her carefully onto her onto her side and bent her elbow and knee to keep her like that.
âOh, Elizabeth...What have you done?â
The sweater slipped off of her and landed on the floor. She mumbled something unintelligible and adjusted her position slightly. At least she would eventually sober up. With any luck, sheâd learn from the pounding headache she had to look forward to and never let it happen again.
He watched over her all night. Maximus knew what he had to do to keep her safe.
He donned the shorts from the harness and put on the guyâs sweater. He was going to reveal himself to her...his real self. He found a bottle of acetaminophen in her toiletries and poured a glass of water.
When she finally roused herself from her stupor, he hoped sheâd realize he was there to help and wouldnât freak out too much.
âOhhh...my head.â She rubbed her temples and tried to sit up. Apparently the effort was too much for her, and she collapsed back onto her pillow.
âElizabeth?â Max said, as gently as he could.
She gasped and sat up in a hurry. âWhoâs there?â Then she patted her body quickly and let out a deep breath of relief when she found herself still dressed.
âMy name is Maximus Wagner. I need to tell you a few things, and not only about last night.
