20 reviews was my magic number. Just kidding, I just hadn't finished writing this part yet… next part will be much faster.

I didn't even know he was there until he breathed my name into my ear.

"Max…" I looked up at him and I was already panting with need, looked up into his hazel green eyes, at his perfect mouth quirked in a wolfish smile.

His gaze tracked over me, slowly, appreciatively, predatorily. The moment pulled taught between us as we both realized what we were going to do, what was about to happen. I felt like I had been waiting my entire life for it. His voice was low and husky when he spoke;

"Let me help you with that…"

And like that I was on fire, a smouldering ruin burning with desire.

And he had vanished into thin air.

I almost screamed with frustration as I sat up, biting my lip to stop me from crying. Not again, not again. I pulled Alec's bed sheet close around me and let out a whimper of despair. I swear if I had another dream right now I was going to die. Or worse I was going to crack and give into this horrible need with the first willing body I found outside that door.

I thought about how much I wanted to take that cold shower. Longed to stand in the freezing stream of icy water and let it wash away this fever; let it leave me numb to the desire for touch. But I knew I couldn't. I didn't trust myself to go that close to the front door. I was too far gone. I knew that once I left this bedroom, if I even left this bed at all, the last of my self control would crumble and there would be nothing left but this animal instinct, this predatory hunger.

Two days? I honestly thought I could last two days? If it wasn't so sad I would have laughed. I had barely scratched off an hour from the first day and already I felt my resolve slipping away.

I was already twitching and my body felt like it was on fire. It hadn't been this bad a year ago why was it so much worse now? Was it the proximity to other transgenics, did the kitty inside want to play with the other Cat's it now knew? It seemed likely considering my fixation on pretty boy Alec. I threw my head back onto the pillow with a groan.

Why had Manticore only given me a shot to suppress this for one year? Why not neuter me for god's sake and do the job properly! If they had of it would be the only thing I would ever thank them for.

I tried to force myself to lie still, tried to force the need in me down but I couldn't help twitching.

Please God, please soon,

just let this be over.


I knew something was wrong as soon as I got to the hallway outside my unit. The door of my apartment was open a crack and light filtered through.

Someone had knocked over my flat the bastards! Then a sound inside drew me into a fighting crouch. Whoever it was was still in there, and they were just about to meet a very angry house owner. My heart beat sped up as a shot of adrenaline hit me.

I crept through my door soundlessly and pressed it shut behind me. I surveyed the state of my living room; it was rumpled but curiously untouched.

This was bad, if they weren't knocking the place over what where they here for? Was it Ames White? Did they have Max?

Another sound came from my unused bedroom. I tiptoed over to it and pressed myself against the wall next to the closed door. 1… 2... 3…

I pushed the door open with a thud and… Nearly died.

Okay that should just be illegal. Max shouldn't be writhing on my bed for Christ sake!

Writhing!

And flushed and groaning and panting.

And then she saw me gripping the wooden door frame like a drowning man grips a life raft and she smiled at me like I was something to eat. My heart rate went through the roof.

"Alec." She said and her breathy voice was the goddamn sexist thing I've ever heard.

No, something that pornographic should definitely be illegal.


Okay, I hope you aren't too frustrated with me! Next part will contain activities of an adult nature, I promise! I have already written most of them... I kind of got distracted! Again reviews are much appreciated and inspire me to post faster!
