A/N: Set after "Great Expectations". This is a sort of teaser for the story. Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not control any part of anyone's anatomy other than my own because that would be naughty.

Addison pressed her palm to her forehead for the third time since trying to escape Mark's presence. Her mind was on her current patient and a certain intern. Mark saw her distraction as a way of getting under her skin and flirting in his own narcissistic way. Alex, standing nearby, had seen enough and was starting to consider ways of helping her. He could think of nothing but making up a fake crisis to rush over and ask that Addison come at once. However Alex wanted to get back at Sloan and needed a way of tripping him up. Once the idea came, Alex started to proceed before his brain realized what his body was doing and told it to stop.

Addison was done with the conversation. "Mark, I have patients. I am sure there are other women around who you could latch on to and feed your ego."

"Are you mad because I want to be Chief?"

"What? No. That has nothing to do with it. I'm not mad at anything except the fact that you will not let me go."

She noticed his approach and turned her head to acknowledge him, thankful for any distraction. "Karev?" She asked when she saw the determination in his eyes. "What's—?" She began, but was cut off as Alex's mouth crashed over hers. She was completely taken aback and Mark slightly jumped as he could not believe what his eyes were seeing. Addison's body replied instinctively to his and her brain stopped all function. Alex had dipped Addison slightly back as the male lead will often do at the end of a dance and held her tightly. Her left arm wrapped around his neck as her right arm explored his chest and the arm supporting her back. The kiss went from hard and demanding to slow and languid before Mark could yell, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

Alex slowed and pulled his lips away, gave Addison one small chaste kiss, set her upright again, and then walked away. Everyone—nurses, doctors, interns, patients—stopped activity as they witnessed the scene playing out before them. Some of the patients thought it was sweet but the staff knew how dramatic and daring that intern named Karev had just been.

As Addison regained her balance, her eyes fluttered open and a small smile had spread over her swollen lips. Her hair was a little messy and some of her lipstick was smudged. Not only did she look hot, Mark could also tell she was hot… hot for Karev and in want of him badly. She stared into space for an instance. Less than a second later though, Addison's brain began normal operation and her cheeks blushed.

"Care to explain?" An angry Mark all but yelled.

The staff knew whatever happened next was popcorn worthy but each tried to resume their work while keeping one ear open. Addison looked at Mark as if she had forgotten he was there and quickly brushed past him.

A/N: To be continued... Hint: Kevin Lyttle. Can you figure it out?
