CHAPTER 3

Feels like Desire

Maxie sat at a table in one of those dives Johnny liked so much. It was his way of blending in with the rest of the crowd. The two had been discussing what the next move should be. Maxie had spent her time being Johnny's eyes and ears around Port Charles. Finding herself privy to information that others had no idea they were divulging to her. Maxie had a way of being seen when she wanted to and not seen when the occasion called for it. She had found out that the guy Sonny sent after Johnny hadn't turned up yet so time was running out for his plan to lay low. Although he should've been focused on the present situation Johnny found himself drifting in and out his fantasies. He would imagine jumping across the table and wrapping his arms around Maxie and pulling her into one of his can't resist kisses or snatching her up out of her chair and carrying her upstairs to one of the rooms that rented by the hour. He was starting to lose his control over his thoughts when it came to her. For the past week they had not left each others side except when Maxie had to check in with Kate or show her face around town so no one would get suspicious. So far no one knew for sure that Johnny was dead or alive. Sonny had sent Jason, Spinelli and even Robin to see if she knew something but no one, not even her cousin could get anything out of her. The story was Maxie was still pissed at Sonny and for all intents and purposes her friend was dead and everyone asking about him only made things worse. That was her story and she was sticking to it. Not being able to trip her up made Sonny more hard to deal with by Jason's account. Jason could see the petite blonde was headed for trouble but he knew she was still upset with him and would never let him help her so he kept his distance. Spinelli on the other hand tried every opportunity to corner her and be there for her, that is when he could find her.

Back at the bar Johnny affectionatly called home Maxie stared at him from across the table with her intoxicating blue eyes. Johnny was lost in them for a moment till she broke her silence.

"So have you had a chance to talk to Olivia yet? I noticed that you haven't been your usual puppy dog self."

"You're really not gonna let it go till I tell you something are you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You've asked me that question six times this week and even though I ignore you, you still don't get the hint."

"I get that you're still doing a great job of not answering my question."

"Maxie took a sip of her drink, not breaking eye contact. She wanted to break him down into spilling all to her by staring him down. She knew he would eventually tell her but she was enjoying watching him dance around the issue.

"Why do you care?"

"Avoiding my question."

"I got a question for you."

"Not till you answer mine."

Johnny paused and thought through his next words. He knew she was fishing for something. Maybe tonight was going to be a good night after all.

"Olivia and I broke up, I tried to be the good guy for her and she dumped me, you happy now?"

"Of course not, but that's bad taste to break up with someone while they're running for their loves even for her."

"She broke it off the night the shoot out happened."

"Really."

Maxie couldn't hide the slight pleasure she got out of hearing that Johnny was again a free agent but what about Spinelli? It was true things weren't good between them anymore. He was going to let Johnny die, She was hiding Johnny from everyone, how was it suppose to work for them now. She had been slowly coming to the realization that Spinelli was probably good as a friend, Only a friend and Johnny. . .well Johnny was Johnny, he had been her forbidden fruit for so long, what else could he be. She watched carefully for the reaction to her next statement.

"What if I told you I might be interested?"

Johnny almost spit out the drink he was enjoying at her suggestion. Why was her brashness shocking to him, that was Maxie after all. If she wanted to play this game he decided he would see how far she was going to take it.

"So. . you want to play chicken again?" Johnny said feeling her out.

"We've already played that game."

"So no chicken, you really want to take our friendship to the next level, what about Spinelli?

Johnny thought he had hit her stop button, Spinelli was always her stop button.

"I care about Spinelli, I love Spinelli but I don't fell the same way I felt about him."

This was a shock to Johnny, he couldn't pin point exactly what unforgivable thing he had done this time but he knew Spinelli was the one she would always choose anyway.

"Okay Maxie, what horrible thing did Spinelli do now?" Johnny said with his most sarcastic tone.

"He was going to let you die."

Johnny almost spit out his drink again but not at the fact that Spinelli would keep his mouth shut by Sonny's order but at the fact that Maxie would care that much to toss Spinelli aside. It was then it hit him as he looked directly into her eyes that he saw she was hurt by the very thought that someone would hurt him or not do anything to help him like she would. It was then Johnny figured she was doing this for more than just a friend.

"Maxie . .I-"

"Look I was just kidding."

"No you weren't. Maxie I had no idea you still had that type of attraction to me. Look, I think it's probably best if you go back to the real world and stop playing mobsters with me."

Johnny got up so fast from the table he didn't even give her a chance to answer. Maxie sat there for a minute and watched as he walked away and decided she would take his sudden change in demeanor that he wasn't interested. She had done what she came to do anyway and besides it didn't look like Johnny wanted her to be involved anymore. She walked out of the bar, got in her car and drove. She said if she couldn't help him bring Sonny down she would see if she could get him to back off.


Her rental car found it's way to Sonny's dark and evil looking mansion. She would walk right in, tell Sonny that she knows where Johnny is and tell Sonny if he wanted her to keep quiet about all his shady dealings that he would not lift a finger to hurt Johnny but when she got there she found herself at the right place and at the right time. She was about to march in when she heard Sonny yelling from inside his living room.

"That bastard Zacharra is still alive!!!"
Jason would try his best to calm Sonny down but most of the time it was like trying to reason with a brick wall.

"Sonny, we don't know that for sure but . .it looks that way."

"Well tell me something then Jason, how is it the hit man you sent to take care of that son of a bitch turns up dead and he's no where to be found."

"If he was alive, don't you think someone would've seen him by now?"

"I get the feeling that your little blonde bimbo knows something."

"Wouldn't it make more sense that Olivia might know?"

"Look Jason, Olivia is not to be bothered with this. I want Johnny found . . AND I WANT HIM FOUND NOW!!!"

Maxie was about to sneak out when she heard someone else coming to the front door so she hid quickly but close enough to still hear the action. In walked Olivia in all her defiant glory.

"I don't know what the hell you're trying to pull here but you better back off and I mean now."

Sonny gestured for Jason to leave and Jason did so leaving out the back way.

"Olivia, I don't know what it is you're talking about but I'm, sure-"

"You know damn well what I'm talkin' about Sonny, if you did anything to hurt a hair on Johnny's head-"

"Whoa, first of all you know I don't discuss business with you and secondly, if your boyfriend had gotten himself into a little trouble it not my fault, I didn't shoot at him, if he couldn't handle the problems and danger that come with this job, maybe you should've done a better job keeping him from it like you did my son from me."

"Now you listen to me, I've had enough of your crap about my son-"

"Our son."

"No Sonny, my son. I want you stay away from him, stay away from Johnny and stay away from me."

She turned storm out in the dramatic Olivia style but Sonny caught her and spun her around and kissed her. To Maxie's surprise she didn't fight back too hard. It was clear now that Sonny wanted Johnny out of the way for numerous reason's, and not just for business. It was also clear to her now that maybe she shouldn't have stepped aside so easily back at the garage when Olivia barged in and interrupted the private moment she was having witn Johnny. That was the moment she should've took a plunge but instead backed off. She took it as a sign that maybe they weren't suppose to be. Now she was headed straight for one person. Damn the consequences of what was about to happen next.


A soft knock came on Johnny's door. He pulled out his pistol and carefully aimed at the door. He disguised his voice and asked who it was but part of him already knew. When he heard Maxie's voice it was like his salvation again. He had been contemplating getting out of Port Charles but then there Maxie was again, probably saving him from making one of the biggest mistakes of his life. He slowly opened the door to reveal her blue eyes staring right at him, into him, through him. Tonight, it was going to be hard to stop himself from taking what he had wanted for too long.

"Sonny knows something is up, they found that guy Rico's body. He thinks you're hiding somewhere."

"How do you know that?"

Maxie took a sharp breath and knew he was going to be angry with what she was about to say next.

" I went to Sonny's to tell him you were alive-"

"What?!?"

"And i was going to tell him if he wanted me to keep my mouth shut about the shady things he does he wouldn't hurt you but-"

Maxie you shouldn't have done that."

"If you'll let me finish I didn't get the chance to, he was yelling at Jason to find you when Olivia came in and-"

"Olivia was there?"

"Yeah but, I don't think she had only you on her mind. Sonny kissed her and she didn't exactly fight him off."

Johnny was surprised by his own reaction, it didn't bother him as much as it should if he still loved her. He was more or less concerned about Maxie's safety. Johnny turned away from Maxie and started to fight those urges of taking her in his arms but Maxie thought it was because he was heart broken about Olivia moving on so quickly. She walked over to him facing the window and placed her hand on his shoulder. He placed his hand over hers and turned around to face her. Maxie lost herself in his dark eyes, she knew the look. It was the same one he gave her in the limo on the way to one of their Crimson dates. He stepped closer to her, taking his hand and wrapping it behind her to pull her in close, with his other hand he cupped her right cheek and dove in for a kiss. At first it was a light long caress but quickly turned into an all out make out session with him lifting her off her feet. Maxie's legs wrapped around his body as he carried her to the bed. he placed her across the bottom of the bed on her back and breaking away from the kiss. Maxie's look of hunger for him was all he needed. He wasn't going to stop till he left his mark on the beautiful Ms Jones. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt as she watched with a slight smile. She kicked her shoes to the floor and started to take off her cardigan while still on the bed. Johnny lowered himself over her and Maxie took her arms and wrapped them around his neck to bring him into another kiss. His hand went roaming over her body as they had wanted to for so long. They found there way up her tank top and over a bra. The stopped again only for him to help her remove her tank and reveal a lace bra that also found it's way to the floor along with the other articles of clothing. His chest rested on hers as he ran his fingers through her hair and his tongue found its way along her neck and back to her mouth. Ever so often she would let out a moan of pleasure that made Johnny want her even more. They pause for one more moment and looked into each others eyes. They both asked the question of themselves if this was really going to happen, was it suppose to happen. Maxie squirmed her way out of Johnny's embrace and made her way to the top of the bed and getting under the covers. She removed the final articles of clothing and tossed them Johnny's way giving him what he thought was the sexiest look a woman had ever given him. He smiled and stood up beside the bed to remove his pants and slipped under the covers with her. He embraced her once more and this time Maxie rolled over on top. This time neither would stop until they had had their fill of each other. The night went on with Maxie screaming Johnny's name and him moaning in pleasure as she did whatever she wanted to his body. Johnny was pleased with the end result of the night, this time no one would stop what was supposed to have happened a long time ago.


It was morning again and this time Johnny found himself holding on to Maxie. She had stayed the night and collapsed in his arms after hours of making love to her. He still hadn't had enough. He watched her sleep, she was smiling. He could only hope she was dreaming about last nights activities. He reached to brush the hair from her face and she squirmed under his touch.

"Johnny?" she said still half way asleep. he didn't know why but this pleased him even more. He leaned down and kissed her neck and ran his fingers up the length of her arm.

"You sure know how to wake a girl."

"Johnny just looked on as she slowly got out of bed. His eyes traced every inch of her naked body. It was amazing that she felt no shame. He was use to women covering their bodies the morning after but not Maxie. She was bold and unapologetic, she was proud of her body and Johnny enjoyed it.

"So I probably should be getting back into town before people start looking for me."
"By people you mean Spinelli."

Johnny had already prepared himself for her mad dash out the door so she wouldn't have to look at her regret but she took her time and still smiled and spoke with him as if everything that had happened last night was okay with her, more than okay.

"I'll go show my face at Crimson and bring some food back if you want to go back to sleep."

"You sure know how to treat a guy the morning after."

Maxie flinched a little at his comment and Johnny picked up on it immediately.

"What wrong?"

"Nothing . . I. . I just don't want you to think this is who I am, I mean it is who I use to be but last night. . .nevermind."

"No, say what you were gonna say?"

Maxie paused again and didn't know if she was wanting to go this deep this early in the moring, she hadn't had her coffee yet.

"Nothing I'm pretty famished so I'm going to go grab so breakfast up so if you want some you might want to speak now."

Johnny decided he wouldn't push but instead smiled and nodded in agreement that he too was hungry but not for food. He was now a Maxie addict and wanted her even more. She turned and started to gather her things quickly but hadn't noticed that Johnny had gotten out of bed. He pressed his naked body against her. Even though she was fully clothed now she could still feel every inch of his body pulsating. This was a huge turn on for her.

"You sure you wanna leave now, I could have you screaming my name in a few seconds like last night."

Maxie did her best to resist falling back into bed with him but her resistance was met with is persistence. He carried her back to the bed and this time he held her hands down and towered over her, stopping her from moving away from him.

"Maxie, I don't know what this is but I sure am enjoying finding out."

"Johnny, shut up and kiss me."

Johnny hadn't like to have people tell him what to do anymore but he was more than happy to do whatever Maxie told him at that moment. He liked that he didn't have to take what he wanted from her. She was more than willing to give it because they wanted the same thing. This was a moment Johnny would never forget, it was the moment that he realized that even though Maxie cared for him, he was beginning to care for her, more than just as a friend.

Hope everyone liked it. Leave feed back, I promise next chapter by end of the week.
