Author's Note: Sorry about another a/n at the beginning, I know how annoying they can be. I'll try not to make it a habit. But what I have to say is extremely important. Okay, not really. Maybe, I don't know.

Anyways, some of you have been questioning Fang's thoughts and actions in the last chapter. I was totally expecting that. In case any of you haven't noticed, Max does kinda use Fang. She takes and takes and takes from him. When does she give back to him?(I know, I know! She was willing to have sex with him earlier, but that was only once!) Eventually it's going to start hurting Fang.

It's annoying to be expected to always take care of someone. And while it irritates Fang, he cares so much for Max he's willing to do it, to some extent. Sometimes his thoughts run wild. JP doesn't really ever hint at this during the MR books, but then again it's all in Max's POV. It's going to be an aspect to my story(it's Fanfic!). Sorry if you guys feel differently about Max and Fang's relationship.

And yeah, Fang's 'I love you' may have seemed really abrupt, but if you were to go through and just read what Max is seeing and hearing it isn't so much. Thoughts and actions totally don't match up sometimes.

I'm so, so sorry this was long! And the wait was longer. Sorry, it was punishment for all the people you read but don't review. Just kidding, I couldn't seem to get a good ending. (And I know this is so short but I had to end it there! You'll see.)

Enjoy the chapter!!

I was sure I heard wrong.

"What did you say?" I said, my voice a little shaky. I pulled away to look at him. His dark pools for eyes gave nothing away.

"You heard me," he replied, his voice so soft I could barely hear him even with my super-hearing. He had one arm still around me and he brought the other hand up to cup my cheek. "I don't know if I'm in love with you or just love you. All I know is I care for you alot more than a sister. You're my best friend and living without you would be impossible. I won't leave." As he spoke his face moved closer to mine until he finally pressed his warm mouth against mine.

I was so confused and tired and upset. Fang just confessed that he loved me and I needed to think. I needed some space. But right then I had absolutely none of it. I wanted to push him away, but my body responded differently, and my lips hungrily began to kiss him back as one of his hands slipped under my shirt, rubbing the small of my back.

"I think I love you too," I said breathlessly when we broke apart for a second. Fang just nodded before kissing me again. This time I felt something wet running along my bottom lip and I realized it was his tongue. I hesitated a moment before parting my lips for him. His tongue raced into my mouth, exploring every inch and I discovered I liked the taste of him in my mouth. Though I had done this before, this was the first time I was doing it because I really, truly, wanted it. Wanting a turn of my own, I wrestled with him for a minute before gaining my entrance into his mouth.

Fang was so sweet and warm, and I was totally distracted by our kiss. My thoughts of confusion and being upset no longer existed. My hands that had been dangling uselessly at my sides, came up into Fang's dark locks and I was amazed by the revelation of how few times I had touched his hair before. After Jeb left I'd helped him cut it a few times but that was it.

Enraptured in our kiss, I was surprised to find us now laying on the ground, Fang's body hovering on top of me. He broke our kiss again and pulled my t-shirt off. I vaguely thought about the Flock waking up but dismissed it when Fang trailed wet kisses down my neck and unto my chest. His fingers moved for my bra.

He quickly removed it and brought his eyes up to mine while he cupped my breasts.

"You are so beautiful, Max," he whispered. I blushed, almost regretting this. I couldn't believe we are really doing this. He began to knead them.

I hissed in pain and he froze, looking horrified.

"They're a little sore. It comes with being pregnant, I think."

Fang nodded. "Sorry," he said, lightly brushing my chest with his fingertips instead. It felt so good that I didn't even think about where this was heading.

Forcing him to keep his hands to himself for a second, I pulled his shirt over his head and threw it aimlessly. Fang kissed my mouth again while I ran my hands on his perfectly toned abs. He is too hot for his own good.

My hands returned to his hair as our chests pressed together and our kiss intensified. Fang's hands were traveling dangerously close to the waistband of my jeans. His thumbs rubbed my hips, dipping into my pants and brushing my underwear before coming back out.

I knew what he wanted. His hard manhood was pressing into me. I was slightly beginning to get wet myself. But I was pregnant and I didn't know if having sex while pregnant was a bad thing. I didn't want to chance it though. And I knew Fang didn't either. He had stopped himself before.

"Fang-" I said, pushing him away and breaking our kiss. "We can't-the baby." And now that my head had cleared a little bit I thought about the Flock sleeping just feet away. This was such a stupid idea. We're idiots.

Fang blinked and then nodded. "Yeah," he replied, his voice husky. "Sorry." He scrambled off of me and handed me my bra.

Blushing, I took it and secured it around my chest. We both returned our shirts to our proper place before Fang said, "You take watch. I need to take a little spin." He didn't wait for an answer but simply opened his gorgeous black wings and jumped into the night sky.

He wasn't back by the time I woke Iggy for his watch, but I wasn't worried. I figured he was still being haunted by what the Whitecoats gave him. But when Iggy woke me at dawn the first thing out of his mouth was,

"Fang's not back."

Author's Note: Fax and a cliffie! How was THAT?

I'm so so sorry that it was so short, but you have to understand why I cut it off when I did. It was perfect! Ah, well, maybe not for you as a reader.

Sorry if some of you want to kill me for cutting them off before having sex again, but seriously, Max could've had a miscarriage earlier! Messing around is not the best idea.

Please review. I didn't get 20 reviews last time, so how about this time? That's only five more people than the last chapter. Thanks to everyone who've reviewed and will review!
