When Sparks Fly

9 Lives of Chloe King

Chloe and Alek A/N: Ok first off I own nothing. Second this is a fic that starts off with a late night visit from Alek. Yes I know this has been done but I started writing this after episode 3 and haven't had the opportunity to post yet so please give it a shot. This is set around 1x03 and may continue if the response I get is good. Oh and for those still wondering about my Eli and Clare multi-chapter fic I am sorry to say that I probably will not update that anymore. I just am not inspired to finish it sorry.

Sighing for what felt like the millionth time that day Chloe fell onto her bed. Rotating to her side the blonde Mai finally let the tears she had been holding back fall. Breaking up Brian- no she wouldn't over think what she had done. If she did she would only feel worse about the decision even if it was the best one she could make. Either that or her strength would crumble and she would end up running back to him. Neither was an option especially the latter, not if she wanted him to live and stay safe. Taking in a deep but shaky breathe and wiping the tears away Chloe almost missed the feeling of her bed dipping down behind her, almost. Rolling off her plush bed, (with more energy than she thought she had) Chloe fixed her body into a fighting stance. "ALEK!" She shrieked staring at the annoying basketball player lounging on her bed.

"What?" His voice was smooth but she could hear the cockiness underneath. Trying to hide the fact she had been crying Chloe let all the pain from the day out on him instead.

"Alek you can't keeping popping up in my room! My mom already thinks something is going on between us as it is! Haven't you heard on a thing called privacy! I know you have to protect me but can't you do that from the roof! I have had a long day dealing with a psycho killer I REALLY don't need this!" Pointing to the still open window she added with a hiss, " Just leave. GO!"

"No." The single word came out so calm and strong all Chloe could do was look at him stunned silent.

"NO!" Her voice was so loud she just prayed her mom wouldn't come charging in thinking something was wrong. "What do you mean no?" She asked forcing her voice to stay even and a bit quieter. Crossing one ankle over the other and tucking a hand behind his head Alek's face softened. She hated that she liked how comfortable he looked on her bed.

"Sorry about Brian." His voice no longer held an arrogance or superiority. "I know it sucks but he is safer this way. Besides he wouldn't have been enough man for you anyway." Almost simultaneously smiles appeared on both their faces as they slipped into their normal banter, Letting a well needed laugh echo through the room Chloe sat next to the still lounging smart alec.

"Oh he isn't, is he? I know I will regret asking this but who is man enough then?"

Locking his dark hazel eyes with her blue ones one of his eyebrows arched up. As if he was saying 'Do I really need to answer that.' Rolling her eyes Chloe gave his stomach a playful slap. Before she could pull back Alek used his feline speed to pin her hand to his body.

"Alek… Alek." Her voice cracked with nerves and as much as she wanted to deny it, lust. "Wha… What are you doing?" Keeping their bodies connected the male Mai used his other hand to push his upper body off the bed. "Chloe you know we are different, that we're special. We have all these awesome abilities but it comes with a price. It comes with a loneliness. If we let it being Mai can disconnect us from all who we know and love. " A flash of pain swept quickly over his handsome features. He tried to hid it but Chloe caught it.

Resisting the urge to run her hand through his dirty blond hair to soothe him, she let her free hand rest on the one holding her in place.

"I'm sorry about your parents Alek. I don't know what I would do if I lost my mom." His shocked expression made her think she had said something wrong. Was she not suppose to know about that? Was she not suppose to mention it? Pulling her hand off his Chloe began to back peddle. " I just wanted to say sorry. But I shouldn't have brought it up. It must still hurt to think about what happened to them. I shouldn't have said anything. And look at me I keep bring it up that can't be helping either. I know I should shut up. But I just keep rambling. Ok shutting up now." She felt her face heat up from embarrassment as she looked anywhere but Alek's gorgeous eyes. "Yea it does suck and I still miss them. But it just makes my point even more important. We have no idea what is going to happen to us. We could die tomorrow, especially the Mai. Not only are we having to watch out for The Order but it effects our personal lives too."

At the mention of Brian, Chloe felt a little pain in her chest again over the break up. Though now it was a dull ache soothed by the fact that not only did she know she had done the right thing. She had Alek agreeing with her too. Suddenly she felt his thumb rubbing circles onto her hand that was still on his stomach. She had totally forgotten about their intimate touch but maybe that was because it felt so right and comfortable she could. She didn't have to constantly worry about a touch that could kill him. As her mind began to spin his voice pulled her from the chaos.

"I just think that we should take every chance we get in life to have a life. We're living on borrowed time. If you don't put your heart on the line then you're never really living at all. When I like someone I go for it. When I want someone I let them know. I want you Chloe."

His hazel eyes were smoldering and Chloe couldn't take her eyes off of the boy… no man in front of her. As she focused on his eyes even more she was sure she could actually see his eyes change, slowly taking on a more feline shape. The need and lust he was feeling came through so strong it seemed to tap into a desire she didn't even know she had.

Slowly the hand on his stomach pushed up his chest. Each time her slim fingers grazed a new muscle in jumped in response. Even through his t-shirt she could appreciate how well formed the muscles were. The corners of her lips turned upwards into a smirk loving the effect she had on him. She was on auto pilot as her hand wrapped around his neck and she leaned in bringing their lips together. The spark that emanated from the connection surprised the hell out of Chloe. How can there be a spark this big with him. Sure there had always been an attraction between them but the feeling was so much more powerful then she thought it would be. This moment felt so right, DAMN! Pulling away she almost whimpered at the loss of contact. Plus unless she was mistaken she could have sworn he laughed in response. Pouting up at him her fingers played with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"Wow." Alek's voice wasn't more then a whisper and it was Chloe's turn to laugh. His eyes were glazed and he had a goofy smile on his face as he spoke, " That was…" "Amazing." Chloe finished softly letting her hands roam down his back, and felt when it arched into her touch even more. "Yea…. I told you I was man enough." His smirk was back and she couldn't help but let out a huff slapping his chest once more. "Whatever you say Casa Nova." Chloe countered balling her fists in this shirt. "Well I guess I'll have to prove it to you then won't I." Leaning over her Alek guided the pair so they were lying down on her bed. As Chloe moved underneath him to get more comfortable with their new posistion a few things became obvious. The first thing was how much she loved his weight on her. It wasn't too much that she felt crushed but instead the weight made her feel protected and safe. His sculpted muscles seemed to mold perfectly to her feminine figure. The second thing was the trail of fire he seemed to light everywhere he touched. The kiss was just the start, and she knew it affected him like crazy too. Sure she could feel how excited he was, but it was more then that. She could…. smell it too probably thanks to her more feline side. Pheromones seemed to circle around them filling the air and making her even more excited. Wiggling underneath him once more to get relief she heard him growl at the friction she had caused. Staring up at his eyes once more to truly gage his reaction she was shocked to see they had become even darker if that was possible. He ground down into her as well making her gasp and him moan. Alek leaned down causing Chloe's heart to beat faster with the anticipation of his lips touching hers once more. He must have heard it though and in a move to try and frustrate her let his lips go to her neck instead. Agonizingly slow his smooth, soft lips trailed down her neck making her squirm and shiver in delight. The only thing that made it better was when he got to the junction between her shoulder and neck he bite down. A wave of pleasure shot through her causing her hips to buck up. His lips stayed there for a minute nibbling and sucking on the spot. She knew he was marking her… to mark his claim. What surprised her was she didn't care that he was doing it or even why. It was actually more of a turn on then anything else. Looking up at his face when he pulled back she could see his sweet smile but his eyes showed a kind of ownership or pride. Pride that everyone who saw the mark would know she belonged to him for now on. Before completely leaving the spot he kissed it once sweetly. Chloe's body once again took over as she wrapped her legs around his waist and flipped them over. Finding his eyes once more as she leaned over him she noticed all the superiority was gone from them. Instead she just saw a curiosity that seemed to be challenging her to make her next move. Hating that he still felt he had the upper hand to issue a challenge she decided to make him turn to a puddle of emotions. Slowly she let her hips start to rotate against his. Even as she felt the electricity go through her she didn't let out a peep. Needing to show him she effected him as much as he did her. He gripped her hips tight and just as he was about to moan… BEEP BEEP BEEP. Chloe's hips stopped immediately as she and Alek glared over at her phone that was lighting up signaling a new text . As she went to reach for it though Alek's hands gripped her hips a bit tighter. "Alek I have to check my phone." She tried to sound strict but it came out a bit breathy. "No you don't. " He let his hips thrust up a bit and Chloe had to bite back a moan but her head fell back anyway giving her away. "Yes I do that is probably a text from Amy wondering why I haven't talked to her since school. She gets even more worried about me since the whole Mai Uniter thing came around." Pouting he released her hips, but whimpered when her hips rolled against his as she got off him to reach for the phone still sitting on her bed. 'Where were you? You weren't at the café to hear me sing? Are you ok?' Knowing that this was going to take more deals and explaining then can happen in a text conversation Chloe knew she would have to call her best friend. Turning back to tell Alek that he should go and that they should talk to each other the next day at school she was shocked by his position. Once again he was stretched out on her bed looking completely at home, "Hey…. Um I gotta call Amy and calm her down. But can we talk about…." She moved her arms around in a way to say "all this", " Tomorrow?" "Sure, I don't want an angry Amy at school. " He spoke quietly thinking back to the last meeting the two had had over Chloes safety. He really didn't want to deal with that annoyance again. "Good Night, Chloe King." As he went to get off the bed he leaned towards Chloe once more. Snagging a quick kiss he smiled as she beamed back. A/N: So this is the end of chapter one. Let me know if you like it, love it, don't like it whatever. Oh and high fives to those who caught the Dark Angel quote.
