Tonight's the Night (Part Two)
A Dark Angel Story. Pairing Max/Alec
After reading my recently submitted story "About Last Night" one of my fabulous reviewers (thanks to all of them) requested a prequel to that story. Well here it is. It's more fun if you read the other one first even though if you're reading this now you'll know who the pairing is going to be. Hope I satisfied your request Nehasupnfan!

Chapter Two: Finally!
Alec was never so glad to hear the shrill ring of his phone. He doesn't need to check the display to know who's calling. He'd been waiting for the call for what seemed like forever answering it after only one ring.
"Hey"
"Whatcha doing?" Max's voice sing songs across the line in a teasing tone.
"Waitin' for a booty call from my beautiful woman," Alec jokes in return.
"Ha Ha! OC just left so you can come over whenever. I thought I'd order Chinese food so we can eat when you get here."
"Ok. See ya soon."
Max barely has time to hang up the phone before she's startled by a sudden knock on her door. She opens it to find Alec standing before her, smirk firmly in place.
"That was quick. What did you do? Blur all the way over here?" Max questions him smiling herself.
"Nah...just up the stairs," he replies. "I was actually waiting right outside."
"Alec!"
"Don't worry Maxie, I guarentee that OC didn't see me. You see what you don't know about me is that I'm very stealth. It's one the many skills I acquired while attending private school during my childhood years," he explains sarcastically.
"What do you know, I think we may have gone to the same school. I cut out early though. They couldn't handle me," she retorts in return and he laughs. "Come in. I'm gonna order the food. Any requests?"
"Egg rolls. Lots and lots of egg rolls. Tell Mr. Wong they're for me and he'll give you a discount."
"Is there anyone in this city who doesn't owe you a favor?" Max exclaims.
Alec simply shrugs at her suggestion, removing his jacket and plopping down on the couch as Max returns to the phone to order their favorites. Sure enough when she mentions to Mr. Wong that the order is for Alec, he gives them a 10% discount off the total.
Hanging up the phone, Max instantly feels him standing behind her, his breath tickling the barcode on her neck. Slowly she turns to face him, a curious look adorning her face.
"Just remembered I forgot something," he says cupping her face. His lips touch hers, gently at first, with more tenderness than she ever thought possible. It doesn't take long though for the kiss to grow heated. As their passion ignites, Alec lifts her onto the counter and settles himself between her legs. They're pressed intimately together, hands roving and tongues battling for dominance. An increasingly loud and incessant knocking has them reluctantly pulling apart.
"Come on man! I've been banging on this door for 5 minutes now. Hurry the hell up and answer cause I've still got 3 deliveries to make after this."
"I guess the foods here," Max sighs withdrawing from his embrace and moving towards the door. Alec remains by the counter, feeling the need to "collect" himself.
"Hi," she greets the deliever boy with a restrained smile. "So what's the damage?"
The pimply faced boy doesn't reply right away. Instead, he stares unabashedly at the stunning dark haired beauty standing before him finally gathering up the courage to turn on his charm.
"Well hey there gorgeous," he flirts awkwardly, earning an eye roll from Max. "You know," he winks, "I could knock a few bucks off your order if you invite me in. Surely a tiny thing like you can't eat all of this food by yourself," he questions waggling his eyebrows and dangling the bags in front of her.
A growl is suddenly heard by the boy as an intimidating male pressence appears behind the woman at the door.
"Sorry buddy but this little lady already has company and I DON'T like to share," Alec warns him. His menacing glare has the young man stepping quickly away from the door. The delivery boy takes their money and exits the building as quickly as his ordinary legs will take him.
"Was that really necessary?" Max asks.
"Probably not but it was fun," Alec answers with a smirk.
They sit down on the couch to eat, spreading the mass amounts of food on the coffee table. The food tastes better than it usually does. Mr. Wong must really like Alec and honestly did they really need this many egg rolls?
"We're never going to eat all of this," she announces.
"Watch me!" he replies in a challenging tone.
They eat their meal in silence both trying hard not to think about the recent "counter incident". To Max's amazement they manage to consume most of the food while passing cardboard food containers amiably between them. At one point during the meal, Alec reaches over to wipe a drop of plum sauce from Max's chin. They share a warm smile before the tension once again resumes.
"So," Alec begins but stops himself when he can't think of anything to say.
"Yeah so," Max replies looking everywhere but directly at him.
Silence fills the room before they both laugh nervously.
"Wow, I never imagined this would be so awkward," Alec comments.
"I know," she sighs. "Maybe we're trying too hard."
"Wanna watch tv?" Alec asks her thinking it might break the ice.
"I don't have a TV remember," Max reminds him.
"Right! Who doesn't own a TV anyway? I mean really Max what did you do at night before me?" All of sudden he remembers Logan with his pasta dinners and saving the world missions. "Oh right." Well if that's not a mood killer.
"Alec. I need to tell you something," Max begins.
He's scared of what she's going say. Probably more scared than he's ever been before. At this moment, Alec realizes he's in love with Max and closes his eyes as he listens hesitantly to her next words.
"I went to see Logan today."
Great! "When?" he questions.
"This morning right after we talked."
"Oh. So how is Logie-Bear?" Alec knows he sounds bitter and hates this fact.
"Alec," Max voice is tense as she says his name.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I just...ok let's just get this over with," Alec sighs in defeat.
Her silence is deafening. He can feel Max staring at him and it seems like forever before she begins to speak.
"I told Logan about us," Max admits. Alec immediately looks up at her, unable to hide the surprise that is evident on his face. "I told him that we're together. He didn't...well let's just say he didn't take it well but it had to be done right?"
Of all the things Alec expects to hear her say at that moment, confessing that she admitted their relationship to Logan is definitely not one of them.
"Why Maxie? Why did you do it?" he finds himself asking.
"Because he has a right to know. I mean everything's changed now and even if we do manage to find the cure, Logan and I can't be together. He needs to accept that and move on with his life." Max pauses, taking in the dumbfounded expression that remains on Alec's face. "You thought I was breaking up with you didn't you," she asks him.
His silence only confirms her suspicions.
"Alec I know that we haven't talked about what "this" (she gestures between them) is, but you have to know th..."
Her second confession of the evening is interupted by the pressing of his lips onto hers. After a few moments of kissing her senseless, Alec pulls Max willingly onto his lap. Their hands dance across each other's faces as their bodies show rather than tell one another how they feel. As Alec lips dance down the column of her neck, Max feels the sudden need to finish her earlier speech.
"Alec," she begins.
"I know," he says looking intensely into her eyes and smiling, no smirk this time, but a real genuine smile meant only for her.
At this point they realize no more words are needed. Max grabs the hem of his shirt and pulls it off his body as they reach for each other once again. His hands delve into her long dark locks and he consumes her mouth with his own. They break apart long enough to allow him the chance to remove her shirt. Alec reaches behind her to unclasp Max's lacy red bra. He pauses to admire her. His beautiful comment from earlier today doesn't quite cover it now.
He picks her up off the couch and carries her towards her bedroom. There's only a sheet separating the space where her and OC sleep but he knows exactly which direction to go. She pulls the make shift "door" closed out of habit before he deposits them both onto her bed. Max smiles up at him as he looks down into her beautiful face. Unable to stop himself, Alec trails open mouth kisses across her face, shoulders and breasts pausing to take each nipple sensuously into his mouth before moving further down across her stomach. He releases the snap of her jeans and pulls the denim down her legs, depositing the garment onto the floor. She's left clad only in a lacey thong that has him whistling in appreciation.
"Did you wear this for me Maxie?" he asks her teasing the inside of her thighs with his tongue.
"Yes," she replies in a breathy whisper.
Then Max loses all ability for intelligible speech as his hands rip the scrap of lace aside and his tongue reaches her heated core. Her orgasm is swift and all consuming as she moans his name in uncontrollable ecstasy. He moves reluctantly away from between her thighs, standing to remove his own denim covered legs, remembering to remove the small foil package from the pocket before letting his jeans fall to the floor. No sense in bring any little trannies into the world. Not yet anyway. His boxers quickly follow before he's crawling up the bed and hovering over her still gasping form.
"Max," he says her name like it's a promise and a question all rolled into one.
She lifts her hand to his face, lovingly caressing his cheek and affirming his actions with "I'm ready Alec."
He rolls the condom in place and thrusts into her welcoming body. They freeze for a moment taking time to absorb the enormity of what's happening. Alec can't remain idle for long though and he begins to move in and out of her heat in a slow sensual rhythm. They never lose eye contact as they move instinctually together as one. As Max reaches her second climax, she is forced to close her eyes, overwhelmed by the sensations coarsing through her body. Alec follows her into bliss, collapsing heavily onto her naked body, his orgasm overtaking any semblence of control.
When their hyperventilating breaths finally subside, Alec raises his head to look at the beautiful woman who has unknowingly changed his world in just one night.
"Wow," Max sighs.
"I'll second that," Alec agrees.
He pulls out gently, removing and disposing of the condom into the garbage beside her bed.
"Please tell me that you have more of those," Max inquires.
"Now Max, why would assume that I came here expecting an all night marathon of sex."
She simply raises her eyebrow at him and waits.
"I have a whole box in my jacket pocket," he admits.
Max laughs pulling him into her warm embrace and kissing him senseless. He eventually manages to extract himself from her in order to collect their clothes that are currently strewn about the living room. He locates his jacket with the box of condoms inside before gathering the food containers and putting them into the fridge. He finally returns to bed and round two starts shortly after. It's followed by rounds three and four. The happy couple are so caught up in each other, they fail to notice a certain roomate returning home early, disappointed by her own failed attempts of getting some.
Well, well, well, OC thinks to herself, at least one of us is getting lucky tonight. I guess it's time to plug in the headphones and crank up the tunes. Tonight she would wait it out but tomorrow, her Boo was definitely going to spill the proverbial beans.
The end.
