Max had dropped the ruler on the floor and stood there in shock as Rimion was talking to him.  He never had conversations in the playroom like this, especially conversation like this one.  When he said that he would just go without a shirt Max thought that would be a ok thing but when he started talking about being free and what he wanted Max could not help but freeze.<br/><br/>Could Max do it again, allow himself to be abused again?  Max still could not say anything to Rimion as he continued to tell him what he wanted more than anything to feed a hungry that Max hadn’t had in so long.  Could he trust Rimion that much given time?  He was listening to what he was saying and Max knew that if he talked about it in this room he would lose the control he maintains in the environment.<br/><br/>Max reached up and released Rimion from the hook " clean up this room." Was all he could say and then turned and left the room.  Max was unsure what to say and knew he was rather scared to give into the desire that was deep down inside of himself.  Demons he had buried away for years with the hope the feelings would disappear.  Listening to what Rimion had said had brought up feelings and he needed to get away.<br/><br/>Max went into his room leaving the door open too lost in thought he started to strip his clothes to take a shower.  He stepped into the shower and turned the water on hot letting it cascade down his body all over the scars he had and wondered if he could handle new ones.<br/><br/>Max had always been the one who tried to cover his emotions and during this one day he had spent with Rimion he felt his emotions starting to come to the surface again.  He was afraid he was going to crack which was why he left Rimion without any answer.  Max closed his eyes and stood in the complete glass shower and got lost in his thoughts and memories.<br/><br/>Max wanted much more out of this agreement with Rimion and with what Rimion wanted to do, it was almost like they could take turns with each other feeding their needs.  But could Max trust him down the road well enough not to beat him and run.  He would grant him his freedom, but would he leave Max, and there was something about Rimion he didn't want to loose.
