"See? I told you the chair was a good idea" Max rolled on her back and stretched like a cat.
"The chair was great but did we absolutely had to end up on the floor? My back is killing me" Logan said and rubbed his lower back.
"Well if your computer chair didn't move so much everything would've been fine but MY back was getting slammed against the edge of the desk with each thrust" She smiled and rested her chin on his muscular chest.
Logan reached around her and rubbed her back.
"Seriously Logan, are you ok?" She was concerned for him. Maybe he was overdoing it, his legs weren't that strong yet.
"I'm fine, are YOU ok?" He traced her barcode with his fingertips and held her closer.
"Yeah" Max loved having Logan take care of her. She felt cherish when she was with him.
"I'm sorry we can't say the same thing about your chair" Logan glanced at the discarded chair and groaned. One of the armrests had fallen off, two of the five wheels were twisted and another one was missing.
'What the hell am I gonna tell Bling?'
"How did that happen?" Logan wondered out loud.
"Well, I guess I really am a flexible girl."
Logan laughed "Wanna test that flexibility of yours again?" Logan raised his left eyebrow and gave her a sexy look. She giggled like a schoolgirl and kissed his chest.
"Maybe we should move to the bed, I don't want you to get hurt"
Max sat up but Logan wrapped his strong arms around her tiny waist to prevent her from moving away.
"Or maybe you should stop worrying so much" He kissed her neck and shoulders lightly, making Max sigh.
"Did you come up with an excuse for missing work?" He asked between kisses.
"Chicken pox, Normal won't wanna be anywhere around me for at least a week"
Logan chucked "Sometimes that guy can be such a freak"
"Sometimes? You don't know my boss well enough"
"I know one of them well enough and he told me that he wants to grab you and kiss you and make love to you until you drop" Logan said in a husky voice.
"Really?" Max bit her lower lip
"Really" Logan kissed her earlobe
"Then what the hell am I doing here with you when I can be banging the gong non stop with Normal?"
"WHAT?"
Max was on her feet and running before Logan could even process the joke but once he did he chased her around the computer room playfully until she allowed him to catch up. He grabbed her from behind and pressed his naked body against hers. Her body responded to the feeling and she groaned, pressing her body harder against his.
"Mmm Logan I..."
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Max groaned and untangled herself from him.
"Where is my beeper?" she asked, looking around the room. She picked up her underwear and slipped it on, then she tossed Logan his pants and was just about to put on her top when Logan stopped her. He placed his fingers on her neck lightly
"What's wrong?" Max asked. Logan's eyes were filled with love
"I gave you a hickey"
Max smiled and placed her hand over his.
It wasn't unusual for Logan to leave a small mark on her body. Sometimes they were hickeys, other times they were light bite marks. She liked them, they reminded her of him.
The only problem was her shirt. It wasn't a turtleneck so she was going to need an awful lot of makeup to cover that thing up.
The beeper beeped again and she ran to the hall trying to locate the small device before it stopped beeping.
"Aha!" She found the beeper under the couch, next to her pants.
"Oh Shit!" Max grabbed her pants and slipped them on quickly
"What's wrong?" Logan asked. He was standing under the doorframe wearing only his pants. He still looked flushed and sweaty.
"I was supposed to meet Original Cindy for lunch an hour ago! Now she is pissed and so is Normal. I'm so late for work"
"Hey that reminds me, I made you lunch." Logan walked over to the fridge.
"Oh Logan I really don't have time..." Max stopped when she saw the sandwich that Logan had made for her.
"You can eat it on your way" He handed it to her
"Thanks! You always think of everything. That's why I love you so much" She took the plastic bag from him.
"Only because of that? I have to improve my lover's skills."
Max whacked his shoulder playfully and turned away from him. He came up behind her and whispered on her ear "I love you too angel" Max smiled.
"You should put your shirt on if you don't want Bling to know what we've been up to" Logan looked down and saw the scratch marks on his chest, he probably had them on his back too.
"Well, if the ruined chair doesn't give us away this certainly will" He chucked and went to find his shirt.
"I think I saw it somewhere on your desk" Max yelled after him, then she got to work covering up the hickey.
She stood in front of the mirror in the exact same place where she and Logan had stood a little over a year ago. She was concentrating so hard in covering the hickey that she didn't notice the black figure standing just a few feet away from her.
Max closed her eyes and remembered the feel of Logan's warm breath against her neck unaware of the approaching figure.
The man in black touched her shoulder. Max jumped and almost immediately assumed a fighting position. She knew Logan's touch well and that certainly wasn't it.
"Zack?" Max panicked "how long have you been standing there?"
"I just came in. You're slipping Maxie"
'Thank God he didn't walk in while Logan and I were banging the gong. That would've been embarrassing.'
"What are you doing here Zack?"
"Came to take you away. We have to leave now"
Max gave him a look that clearly established her disapproval "How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not leaving?"
"Max? I was just thinking that maybe..." Logan stopped when he realized that she wasn't alone. He was suddenly very aware of his flushed, sweaty skin
"...you shouldn't come and help me with my therapy on your lunch break" He quickly recovered from the shock of seeing Zack. 'God if that guy knew that I'm sleeping with his sister he would probably kill me on the spot'
Logan hoped that Zack would buy his load of crap, although he doubted that an engineered killing machine with a love for his sister that Logan was sure went beyond sibling's love would be so dense but apparently his unconditional love for Max was Zack's unspoken weakness and he barely registered Logan's words.
"Max this time we really have to leave. Renfro is planning on looking for you in every corner of this city. She's running an operation that starts tomorrow night and goes on for at least a week. She's combing every inch of this fucking place and you're not gonna be here for him to capture you! Now you can leave Seattle on your own two feet or in my arms but you are leaving either way so make your pick"
"This only lasts for a week or so?" Max asked
"Yeah, you can come back afterwards if you want" 'Maybe if you spend a week with me it'll be enough to convince you to stay for ever Maxie' Zack thought.
"And this whole thing starts tomorrow night?"
"Yes"
"Are you sure? Is your source reliable?"
"Completely"
"Well then there is nothing for you to worry about"
"You're coming with me?" Zack couldn't believe how easy it was
"No" Zack's face fell
"No?"
"No, Logan and I are leaving for Albuquerque tomorrow morning. We're doing... some Eyes Only work and we'll be away for a week. Problem solved"
Zack couldn't believe his plan had backfired. He tried to come up with an excuse quickly.
"No, you have to come with me so that I can keep an eye on you. Logan can go to Albuquerque on his own, he doesn't need you anymore, he can use his own legs"
Was he babbling? Max frowned. What was going on? It was almost as if Zack wanted her to go with him instead of with Logan
"Zack I..."
"Why don't you come with us?" Logan interrupted
"WHAT?" Both Max and Zack asked in unison
"Come with us. That way you can keep an eye on her and we can... 'Still have a shot at that romantic vacation we've been planning for so long' (sigh)... go on with our plans."
"I..." Zack started to say but Logan cut him off
"You can ask Original Cindy and Kendra to come with us Max."
"Well it might be cool to go on a ski trip with those two, I don't think Kendra has ever left Seattle"
'I can't believe I'm even considering this! Oh well our romantic vacation is already ruined, might as well do something productive with the cabin'
"Then it's settled, we're all going to Albuquerque for a week"
Zack kept shaking his head. 'How did this happen? I was supposed to take Max away from this asshole and now I'm gonna spend a week with him? This has to be a nightmare!'
"Well, gotta blaze. I have to run this idea by Original Cindy. Maybe now she'll forgive me for skipping lunch. See ya guys later!"
Max walked to the door and stopped
"Zack, do you have a place to crash tonight?"
'Maybe if I stay with her tonight I can talk some sense into her' Zack thought
"No"
"Logan is it ok if he crashes here? I have some thing to discuss with the girls... sort of a girl's night out"
"Well... sure, no problem. Let me walk you downstairs! Zack, make yourself at home"
Logan and Max left, leaving a very confused Zack behind.
**************
"Are you insane?" Both Max and Logan asked at the same time once the door closed behind them.
"How could you invite Zack to come along? This was supposed to be a romantic trip and unless you're planning on a threesome with my brother I don't see that happening"
Logan made a face at the idea of a threesome
"Well he was going to drag you away! It seemed like the only choice at the time. Anyway why is he crashing at my place tonight! You know that we don't get along"
"Well you should've thought of that before you asked him to go with us! I have to take the girls shopping! Assuming of course that they agree to go and they better or we are going to spend an uncomfortable weekend together"
"Fine! Just go ask them. I'll figure out a way to get three more sector passes"
"Fine, I'll see you later"
"Ok"
The elevator doors opened and Max turned to leave. Logan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. His mouth descended over hers and they shared a heated kiss.
"I love you"
"I love you too baby"
The metallic doors closed behind her. 'Ok now what the hell am I gonna do with Zack all afternoon?'
***********
"GOING WERE?"
"Shh! If Normal hears my plan then it's not gonna happen"
"Do you really want us on your vacation with your rich boyfriend?"
"He is not my boyfriend and yes, I want you along. My brother is coming as well."
"But girl Original Cindy has got no proper wardrobe and I'm pretty sure Kendra has no winter clothes either"
Max could see Original Cindy getting excited
"That's not a problem. I can do some stunts at the crash tonight, win some cash. We can go to a casino or something and go shopping tomorrow morning"
"It might work"
"It will! Now I'm gonna act all sick and tomorrow we'll call Normal and tell him that I've got chicken pox and that you've been exposed."
"Sounds like a plan!"
'This is gonna be an interesting trip' Max thought.
"Hey girl what happened to your neck? Is that a bruise or something?"
"Yeah!" Max quickly answered "Just a nasty bruise" Her hand went to her neck and she smiled.
