Chapter 10

It's been awhile but I can still remember how you taste

            "Max your hand!" Logan said in alarm as she walked into the bedroom and over to his side.  Reaching out to it she pushed his hand away and climbed onto his lap and captured his lips with hers.  To her surprise he answered her actions with the like.  Moments later when she ended the kiss and let her nose rub against his she answered his alarm.

            "It's fine.  My heart however...I don't know."

            Rubbing his cheek against hers he nodded.

            "I know what you mean."

            "I don't want to hurt like this anymore."

            "Max...I don't want to hurt you anymore.  But we both know that I can't..."

            If I could then I would.

            Wrapping her arms more tightly around his neck she kissed him again.

            "Max..." she silenced his tone once more with another kiss.  "Are you going to let me continue?" 

            "Depends, are you going to make sense or make excuses?"  She asked coyly. "Cause I can think of much better uses for that mouth then what you're using it for."  Logan's arms tighten around her involuntarily.  Biting her lip she waited for his answer as he turned away from her.

            "Do you have any idea how that affects me?" he asked.

            "Sort of like this does." Max offered as she slid a hand under his shirt.

            "Funny Max."  He spit out as he grabbed her hand and put it back around his neck.  "Can we be serious now?"

            "Can I kiss you again?" she asked ignoring his question.

            "You aren't going to make this easy are you?" he asked with a smile.

            "On the contrary, you're the one making it difficult."

            "Max."

            "Fine." she clipped and climbed off of him and the bed leaving him alone as she walked over to the window and looked out making sure to keep her back to him.

            Logan instantly missed the warmth her body had given him.

            "You know I'd love to entertain every little desire you have.  You know I don't want to hurt you.  But we can't.  It's too dangerous.  And you deserve more then I could ever give you." he threw out to her back.

            "Argh!!"  Max cried in frustration stomping her foot, spinning around, and wildly flying at him. "How can you not?" she asked an inch from his face. Once more she silenced him with a kiss this time knocking him over so that she was lying on top of him. 

            Hard as he tried, Logan found he couldn't resist answering her passion with his bottled frustration at the whole situation.  Abruptly Max broke away from him and detangled herself from his groping hands.  Sitting back on the edge of the bed just out of his reach she smiled.

            "You're right.  It isn't worth the risk." she informed.  Logan groaned still recovering from her assault.

            "Get back over here." he ordered and Max shook her head no.  Flinging himself up with his newly developed upper body he quickly pinned her under him.

            "You can't do that.  I won't allow it."  He whispered into her ear, lips brushes against it softly, his stubble scratching her neck and cheek.  Max silently wondered if maybe she'd been wrong about not being in heat anymore.

            "Is this a bad time?" a voice questioned from the door, quickly bringing the two out of the staring contest they'd been involved in and back to reality.

            "Alec?!"  Max questioned and demanded at the same time.  He shot her an apologetic look.  He'd thought that it would be safe to contact her now that her heat was over but he'd never expected to walk in on the two of them.  It wasn't something he wanted to see.

            Logan had pulled himself off of her and into his chair for which Alec was grateful.  It was a little too much seeing the two of them all over each other. 

            "I was wondering if Eyes Only could help me with some paper work.  Manticore really doesn't want me out here and I'd rather spend my time in Canada then in a cage."

AN: aw too bad I had to end it there.  If you're nice and review I'll try harder to be nice.
