THE MATING INSTINCT
CHAPTER 3
Alex didn't take the bait, she didn't cave in, didn't reveal where she was. She waited for ages wondering if he'd gone, or if he was still there, she knew how cunning he could be, and how determined he was to get his own way.
She began edging along, all the time keeping her back against the wall of earth behind her. She stepped on a very small twig which snapped, the sound echoed loudly in the quiet wood. She froze, and waited to see if the sound had attracted any attention. After a few minutes she decided it was alright to move.
Alex walked through the woods very cautiously, she kept looking behind her, to make sure John didn't sneak up on her. She was hoping to find the IDC, thinking that it may have fallen out of her jacket when John had first thrown it. She saw the small clearing and cautiously moved closer, all the time watching for any movement.
She could hear Lorne in the distance shouting his head off, demanding to be released. She wondered if she could tie John up like Lorne was, she doubted it. She reached the area where her flak jacket was and started to search around the floor.There were a few plastic ties lying around, which had obviously fallen out of someone's jacket. She grabbed a few of the ties and stuffed them in her pants pocket. Then she saw something glinting in the foliage, it was almost covered with leaves, she reached for it, and found that it was her knife.
She heard rustling in the trees and turned around quickly, thinking John had found her, she still had the knife in her hand. The rustling got louder, then she saw a small furry animal run out and bolt for the other side of the wood, she sighed and relaxed.
She turned back and was literally face to face with John, his eyes fell on the knife in her hand. He grabbed her hands and twisted them behind her back.
"You wouldn't use a knife on me, would you Alex?" he asked, pushing his face in to the curve of her neck and breathing in her scent.
"What do you think?" she asked, feeling him grabbing both wrists in one hand while he took the knife from her.
"Then you won't be needing this will you." he told her and threw the knife towards a tree, she was surprised when the knife actually stuck in the tree.
She groaned in disbelief when she felt his body becoming aroused, she wondered where the hell he was getting the energy from, she felt exhausted, and so should he.
"Mm, you smell nice," he said his face still pressed against her neck. He couldn't stop kissing her neck or wanting to bite it. He opened his mouth and grazed his teeth across the delicate skin.
"You bite me and I'll bite you back." Alex warned him when she felt his teeth on her neck.
The sudden image that flashed in his mind, of Alex biting him, caused his body to react even more, he shivered as he deliberately bit down to get a reaction from her. When she didn't do anything he bit a little harder, causing her to moan and curse.
"Wanna bite me back now." he asked, lifting his head up to look at her. He was delighted by the fury he could see in her eyes.
Alex fumed and glared at him, her eyes full of anger. Leaning forward she sank her teeth in to his shoulder and bit him, hard enough to have him yowling in pain. He pushed her away, and kept her at arms length, so that she couldn't bite him again.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" Alex said, seeing the pain registering on his face.
"I'll show you what hurts." he said, hauling her against him, and pressing his lower body against her. "That's what hurts, and I can't seem to do a damn thing about it." he bit out. He tangled his fingers in the back of her hair and pulled her head back. His eyes focused on her throat, he lowered his mouth down and stroked his tongue across the delicate skin. Again he found his teeth on her shoulder, but this time he tempered the bite.
"Damn it..." he groaned. He knew that something was wrong, but he also realised that he couldn't control it.
"Why don't we talk..." she said, hoping she could get through to him.
"Does it feel like I want to talk." he asked harshly, as the powerful urge to push her to the ground and drive his body in to hers, took over his thoughts.
"If you let me go..." Alex started to speak, but he interrupted her.
"I wish I could...but I can't." he told her, his voice strained, he lifted his head up from her shoulder and looked at her, she could see the confusion on his face.
He seemed to be trying to fight it, so Alex stayed perfectly still, waiting to see if he could do it. She knew he'd lost it when he smiled at her and she saw his eyes darkened with hunger. He started kissing her, and pushing her t-shirt up, Alex kept pushing it down. He was getting angry that she wouldn't just let him do what he wanted, he dragged the t-shirt over her head.
As he had his hands raised in the air, Alex put her foot behind his foot and when her hands were free of her t-shirt and he was still pulling it over her head, she pushed him, and sent him toppling backwards. He couldn't grab hold of her because he had hold of her t-shirt and didn't have time to let go of it.
Alex took off through the woods running as fast as she could, which wasn't that fast enough in her opinion. She could hear him behind her, shouting and cursing, he was getting closer and closer. Alex was a good fighter, probably not as good as John or Major Lorne, but good enough. The problem was she didn't have their strength, so when it came down to physical strength they would win every time. Alex's strength was her mind, her ability to assess a situation quickly and come up with a way to escape from it. Which is what she would have to do now if John caught up with her, which was becoming a certainty, because with each step he was getting closer.
He grabbed her from behind wrapping his arms around her, and clamping her arms to her side. Alex struggled and tried to pull free, but couldn't, she quickly saw an opportunity. They were standing pretty close to a tree, so Alex lifted her foot up and placed it against the tree. She started to push back using all her strength, she lifted her other foot and used it to add even more strength to the momentum.
John had been expecting her to pull forwards in trying to escape so when she pushed backwards he wasn't prepared for it. He hit the ground excruciatingly hard, moaning at the impact, the fact that he had held on to Alex when he'd fallen made the impact doubly hard.
She heard him moan as they fell and hit the ground, then she felt him go still, his arms loosened around her and dropped to the floor. She hesitated, almost didn't believe that he didn't have hold of her. She sprang up and moved away, she looked back at him, he was very still and his breathing looked shallow.
Feeling a little frightened that she'd seriously hurt him, Alex moved closer to him.
"John!" Alex was a little cautious at first, but she needed to find out if he was alright. He didn't respond to her voice, so she moved even closer, and bent down to check him.
"John!" she touched his face, then moved her hand down to his neck to check his pulse.
Just as she found his pulse and was checking it's beat, he moved. It was so quick, she was flat on her back, with him sitting astride her waist, before she even realised what had happened. When he smiled at her, she felt her anger rising, she couldn't believe there was nothing wrong with him.
"You bastard!" she bit out, fuming at his dirty tactic.
"Love you too." he told her, causing her to glare at him.
"Love! I'll show you how much I 'Love you'." Alex screamed at him. He just lowered his head down and kissed her.
Alex started to buck and thrash trying to throw him off. She tried to lift her leg up and hook it over him to push him off, but he just laughed at her attempts. As her anger grew so did her strength. She managed to unseat him, as he toppled sideways, Alex pulled her legs up and rolled back, landing on her hands and knees. She stood up glaring at him, then she flew at him, not caring that she was running to him, and not away from him.
She started hitting him, punching and slapping, she even grabbed his hair and started pulling it, anything she could hit or grab, that would cause him pain, she went for.
John couldn't get a grip on her, she was like a wild animal, one of her clenched fists caught him in the mouth, splitting his lip. He cursed and grabbed for her hands, but she twisted them out of his grasp and started hitting again. He didn't understand why she was acting like this, after all they were already lovers, he couldn't see what the problem was, all he wanted to do was make love to her. When he managed to grab her she bit him again.
"If you don't stop it Alex, you're gonna get hurt." he snapped at her.
"And who's gonna hurt me?" she asked.
"You?" she threw at him, watched as he thought about it.
"Where's the problem? I mean, it's not like we haven't done this before, and one more time isn't gonna make a difference." he told her, his brain unable to comprehend what he was really saying.
"No I don't suppose one more time would make a difference, but I, for one don't think it will be one more time, do you?" she said, wondering if he was capable of processing anything she'd said. Alex could see he was having a problem, she felt his grip on her loosen. She wasn't sure if she should stay and try to talk to him, or run, and hope the effects of the gas wore off.
He let go of her and stepped back, he took a few deep breaths all the time glaring at her, as if she'd done something to him. She could see his jaw clenching, see the anger rising, she was just about to bolt away when he growled, then grabbed her.
"I can't do it, can't let you go." he said pulling her against him. Alex was fed up fighting with him, it didn't seem to be getting her anywhere, maybe she should try a different tactic.
"This is because of you." he said, grabbing her hand he pressed it against his aroused body. "Do you know how painful it is..." he said, groaning when Alex wrapped her hand around his erection, "How much I ache..." his breath catching when she stroked her hand along his hardened length. But this wasn't what he wanted, it had no purpose to it, it wasn't productive.
"I need to be inside you." he told her, pulling her hand from him.
Alex didn't resist when he took hold of her. Within seconds he had her flat on her back, her pants and boots thrown to the side as he entered her, began moving within her.
As he thrust against her, he gripped her shoulders, his fingers clenching painfully in to her bruised skin. He had his face pressed against her neck, kissing and murmuring, she couldn't hear what he was saying, she's too caught up in the moment. She held on to him, digging her nails in to his back as he increased the speed of his thrusts. He reached a hand down between their bodies and started to stroke and tease her clitoris, immediately causing her to climax. A few strokes later she felt him pulsing inside her as he came. She winced when his fingers clenched harder in to her shoulders.
He was lying over her, asleep, so Alex eased herself out from under him and moved to the side. When he didn't react, she crept over to her pants and pulled out two of the ties she'd stuffed in there before. She crept back and saw him lying on his stomach with his hands bent, his head resting on one arm. She tied his feet first, then moved to his hands, she had to move his hands closer together before she put the tie around his wrists and tightened it. She'd expected him to wake up, but he hadn't, he was still asleep.
She grabbed her pants and boots and pulled them on, she didn't have a t-shirt so she took his, he could do without it. She left him where he was and decided to give it one more go, to try and find an IDC or a comms, so she headed back to where he flak jacket was.
ooooo
Alex only realised that it was raining when she felt drops of rain filtering through the trees, dripping on to her head. She couldn't leave Lorne out there to get soaked, but she knew she couldn't drag him all the way over here, so she grabbed her knife that John had thrown in to the tree before, and headed over to Lorne.
"It's about time you came back, where the hell have you been." Lorne asked, glaring at her. Alex would love to just leave him here, let him get drenched, maybe it would cool him off. She bent down and cut the tie around his ankles, he rolled on to his stomach so she could cut the tie, off his hands. When she didn't...
"What are you doing?" he asked, rolling back over to look at her.
"Sorry I only cut the tie around your feet so you'd be able to walk." Alex told him.
She helped him up and walked him over to the small clearing.
"You said you'd cut the ties off me." he told her angrily. Alex ignored the sudden outburst of cursing. She pushed him back to sit on a fallen tree trunk, then moved to start searching.
She was just going to bend down to have another look for her IDC when someone slammed in to her back pushing her against a tree, she dropped the knife she was holding.
"It's not very nice promising to do something then going back on your word." Lorne said from behind her, pressing her in to the tree. Alex stomped on his foot and pushed herself backwards easing the pressure, then slipped sideways away from the tree. She quickly turned to look at him.
Lorne just stood there, his eyes dark and brooding as he stared at her. Alex was surprised when he didn't come at her again, she watched as he turned and sat down on the fallen tree trunk. Maybe he was coming to his senses, maybe the gas's effects were wearing off.
Alex got back to looking for the IDC or comms, she only needed one of them, but she couldn't find any. She wondered if John had purposely taken them, she wouldn't put it passed him, especially with the way he was acting.
Alex heard a noise and glanced around at Lorne, he was still sitting there, still watching her. She turned back and looked towards the woods, wondering if John had woken up yet. As she turned back, she found Lorne, standing right in front of her, and his hands were free. He grabbed her and started kissing her, his hands running all over her. Alex was fed up with all the manhandling, so she decided to get her own back.
"Hey, take it easy." she told him, trying to sound normal, when all she really wanted to do was scream, shout, and hit.
"Wouldn't it be better if I took my clothes off." she told him, knowing that this would get an immediate reaction from him. Lorne pulled back and looked at her, he looked very pleased by her acquiescence.
He was totally focused on her, and she needed to make sure he didn't have time to think, or suspect her motives. She managed to get him to let go of her for a few seconds, she stepped back and took hold of her t-shirt.
"Now isn't that better." Alex said, as she pulled her t-shirt off.
Lorne's eyes focused on her naked breasts. Alex had to be quick, she didn't want him to start wondering why she was acting like this.
"Why don't you take your top off." she said, stepping closer to him and stroking her fingers across his chest.
Not thinking about anything else he pulled his t-shirt up and over his head, while he had his face covered with the t-shirt, Alex struck.
Her knee, connected with one of the most vulnerable parts of a man's body, she winced as she watched Lorne's eyes water. He didn't scream or yell he just grabbed his groin area and sank down to his knees. Alex heard the low painful moan that eventually escaped from his throat. She hadn't wanted to do such a thing but he'd left her no choice.
She grabbed one of the ties from the floor and went to tie Lorne's hands but he grabbed her arm. He looked really pissed, and Alex decided not to stay around. She pulled her arm free and backed up. She looked around, grabbed her t-shirt and then took off across the field, she hadn't been this way, maybe she could find something that would help her with her predicament.
Just as she was half way across the field she heard the bellowing voice of John. Who'd obviously woken up to find that he was restrained. She looked back to see if Lorne was following but he wasn't. As she ran she passed a few more of the metal plates that John had activated. She slowed down a little, she didn't want to stand on one of them, no telling what would happen if she inhaled the gas.
She came over a rise and stopped, below she could see a building of some sort, it looked quite big and it was obviously abandoned, it looked pretty run down. She headed down to it, maybe she could find something of use in there.
TBC...
