(Another challenge I completed revolving around the phrase "Don't tell me, you didn't know it was loaded.")
"Don't tell me, you didn't know it was loaded."
Alec's voice was low and sarcastic as he stood in front of Max, dripping wet while she fought the giggles that were bubbling forth. She brandished the Super-Soaker 3000 water gun that was as large as a rifle.
"Actually, I did." She shrugged, still fighting her grin, "You have to pump it a few times to really get it going. Glad to see it works!"
She began to pull the trigger again and this time, Alec blurred out of the way of the stream of water and at the same time, disarmed Max. Grinning evilly, he pumped the water gun a few times as Max shrieked and ran through Terminal City's HQ.
And Alec gave chase. He aimed and shot water at her back as she dashed out the door and into the Seattle summer sunshine.
She dodged between two buildings, but Alec didn't follow her. Instead, he ran ahead to the next building and rounded it, just as Max appeared at the other end of the alley. He shot the water gun again and she dodged behind the building, probably rounding that back corner again. He turned back the way he came to head her off.
He wasn't used to just playing and having fun. As a kid he wasn't allowed to play at Manticore. So this was a first for him. And it was freeing, as well as just plain fun.
As he rounded the corner at full speed, it was too late before he spotted Max standing there with a, now empty, bucket of water soaking him completely. Startled, he froze looking at Max who was bent over at the waist in a full-bodied laugh, pointing at him.
"You look like a drowned rat!" Max snickered, wiping tears from her eyes. Snug blue jeans and white t-shirt sticking to his skin, Alec whipped his plastered hair from his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Oh yeah?" Alec dropped the gun and advanced on Max. The look in his eyes gave her pause and her eyes widened as he picked her up and pinned her against the brick wall of the building, his wet body against hers as he shook his head like a dog, causing water droplets to fly everywhere and making Max laugh harder.
"Stop! You're getting me all wet!" Max exclaimed trying to squirm away.
This definitely piqued Alec's interest, "Hmmm! That sounds like a double entendre to me, Maxie."
He lowered his head and kissed her, causing her giggles to turn into moans, the sounds sending a thrill through Alec. There was a deep satisfaction in the knowledge that he could make her moan so easily.
It's official, Alec thought giving Max's thighs a squeeze, they definitely needed to make play time mandatory in Terminal City!
