As Logan and Max arrived in Seattle, Max decided she really didn't want to face explaining to Cindy moving abruptly. "Logan can we just go home and worry about moving stuff tomorrow. I kind want to check out my new digs."

"It's not like you've never seen it before," he responded with question.

"Yeah, but now I can walk around and figure out where my stuff is gonna go? I mean where 're we gonna put my baby, and where can I work on her?"
"I love you, but you'll be working on your bike in the garage. If you don't want to leave your baby down there, that's fine, but I really can't stand the idea of motor oil all over the hard wood floors."

"OK- but do ya see my point?" she asked.

"Yes, I get it… Tonight, we christen the apartment," he said with a sexy grin.

"You think so, huh?" Max said with a laugh. "Dear God, what will you be like when I'm in heat?"

"In HEAT?!" he said with confusion.

"I guess we didn't have that talk last time, did we? No, we didn't. You were too wrapped up in the idea that I was dating Gilligan," Max said with great amusement.

"Excuse me? I'm totally lost."

"You remember my little trip to see Hannah and the guy you insisted was my boyfriend?"

"I didn't insist. He insisted… I was just curious," Logan said remembering how incredibly jealous he was of this guy he never met. Then it clicked. /Please Lord, do not let her tell me he was a one-night stand to satisfy her heat. I don't think I could handle that… I'd have been glad to accommodate… Stop thinking that way and let her finish. /

"Logan… What planet are you on?" she whispered directly in his ear.

"The planet of hoping beyond hope that when you say he never was your boyfriend, you mean that in all senses including… well… satisfying you," he said desperately.

Max leaned up and kissed his cheek, "You're really cute when you're jealous… I did mean it in every sense of the word. Nothing happened… He thought something happened because he was drunk, but nothing did… But this leads into the interesting area of sexual histories that we haven't discussed…"

"I want to hear more about this heat predicament," Logan said changing the subject. He really didn't want to disclose his chauvinistic history at this point. He was a faithful husband, and he felt that was the best example of his commitment in relationships.

"You're changing the subject."

"Please…"

"Why?" Max asked raising an eyebrow.

"Because I have several years on you to have been a moron about a lot of things… sex being one of them. I was totally faithful throughout my marriage and have never cheated on anyone I dated… I haven't with anyone but you since we met."

Max saw the shear panic on his face as he finished speaking. Once again she kissed his cheek, "You're so incredibly cute when you're embarrassed… You're fine. I was mainly going for- Have you been tested? Do you have any kids out there I should know about? Things like that."

Logan laughed heartily as they pulled into the Foggle Tower's garage. "Yes- clean bill of health and NO- no kids… So, now can I hear about the heat thing?"

"Let's get our stuff upstairs before we get into that OK," she said pulling their bags out of trunk. The ride up the elevator seemed shorter then normal, probably because Logan was using the time to stroke Max's calf. "You're an evil man, Logan Cale," Max whimpered as she got off the elevator.

Logan unlocked the door to his penthouse to find Bling unloading newly bought groceries. "Hey there, you two," he said. "How was the trip?"

"Amazing…" Max said from the door. "I love that cabin."

"Good. Glad to hear it. Original Cindy wants you to call when you get a chance," Bling informed her.

"OK. Thanks," she said as she stalked around the apartment examining where her baby would sleep.

"What is she doing?" Bling asked Logan softly.

Logan smiled at his sweetness, "She's figuring out where she wants her bike to live in the penthouse. I'm not sure what other items of value we'll be moving besides her clothes, but I'm sure they'll be interesting. I'm definitely going to have to add more closet space to the bedroom, either that or organize better," he said pondering the math involved while Bling's eyes went big.

"Well, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!" Bling yelled. Max popped her head around the corner as Logan looked up at the man curiously. "'Ruin a good friendship' my ass… 'We're not like that,' whatever… Just do me a favor and if you know I'm coming over- be dressed when I get here. I'm happy for you, but I do not- I repeat- DO NOT want to see any horizontal romps. Got it?" he said defiantly. They both nodded obediently. "All right then, I'll be heading home. I'll see you both in the morning- both dressed!" Once again they nodded.

He left the apartment and waited until he got in the elevator to crack up. "Oh, I'm calling Original Cindy when I get home!" Bling said.

Max and Logan started laughing as the door slammed behind Bling. "You'd think he'd have a little more faith in us," Max quipped.

"Nah… Denial makes us untrustworthy," Logan retorted.

"Yeah think so?" she said sitting on his lap.

"Well… Being blind to love has a tendency to make others skittish about trusting our sensibilities."

"OK," she said running her fingers through his stubble. "So, I think my bike can sleep in the exercise room at night, by the window."

"Sounds good to me. We'll see if it interferes with Bling, K?" he said planting a soft kiss on her lips.

"Oh, I was going to tell you about when I go into heat," she said as she slid off his lap and pushed his chair over to the couch. Once he was situated on the sofa, she came and laid her head down in his lap. "Well, once every four months I go into heat, thanks to my beloved cat DNA. I have nine lives, always land on my feet, and a pheromone level that drives me and who ever I am with insane."

"So, you literally go into heat? Why didn't I know this?" he said questioning.

"You did. You instinctively knew there was something off with me. You said so in fact. You thought there was something wrong with me, well now you know why."

"I do remember that night… You looked like a caged animal the way you stalked around here… You could have stayed. I would have been happy to help," he said seductively.

"Yeah and then we wouldn't be here, now would we? I didn't trust you hardly at all and I bet you trusted me less then that. It would have been a simple bang the gong session and I would have left within five minutes after being done," she said calmly.

Logan looked at her quizzically, "Now, I'm worried about your sexual history."

"Same answers- no diseases and no kids."

"But that really isn't what concerns me now… How many times have you done that to yourself?"

"What?"

"How many times have you fulfilled a need and left?"

"Under five, I promise," she said as she smoothed the wrinkle in his brow.

"Doing that can really mess with your mind…" Logan said quietly.

Max smiled sweetly, "I know, that's why generally I try to stay out of reach of men during my heat. I sort of screwed up last time… Not too bad since he just past out. I shouldn't have come by to see you…I rode my motorcycle over here. Huge mistake."

Logan chuckled, "I knew you liked that thing for more then aesthetic reasons."

Max slapped his chest a little before he leaned down and kissed her lips.

"So what should I expect from this heat?" he asked.

"The overwhelming desire to sleep with me and me to never get enough of it," Max stated.

"I thought we already had that?" Max once again slapped his chest.

"I don't know… We will have to wait and see… Now why don't we go take a bath in that huge bathtub back there?"

Logan closed his eyes and savored the words. "Logan, what are you doing?"

"I'm picturing you naked getting into the tub."

"Concept, why not come see the real thing?" Max taunted as she left the couch and headed for the bedroom.

By the time Logan entered Max had already removed her shirt and was letting it fall to the ground. He watched as her fingers went to the back bra clasp to unhook it. He sped into the bathroom, throwing his shirt off with great fervor. Max slowly undressed while Logan frantically stripped, his heart pounding in his chest.

Soon Max stood before him naked, running the warm water. "You first," she said, motioning for him to slide into the tub. Logan maneuvered himself in while Max got the temperature just right. She found some of his secret stash of bubble bath she knew he hid under the sink. Once the lavender smelling soap was added to the water, she stepped into the whirlpool tub. Settling into Logan's outstretched arms, Max felt totally at peace. "I can really get used to this," she whispered to him over her shoulder.

"Good… I'd kind of like to have you around for a while," he said rubbing his hands up and down her arms with the soap.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah… If you haven't guessed already, I have a crush on you," Logan said in a little kid voice.

"How'd you do that?" Max said with great curiosity.

"How'd I do what?" Logan said wrinkling his forehead.

"Make yourself sound like… well… a kid."

"Intonation and slurring letters together… You probably spoke perfectly from birth," he said as his washed her back.

"I'm not sure… Hey, your heart is pounding… Stop that. I'm not that exciting," she said trying to relax.

"I beg to differ," he said splashing water onto her back to rinse off the soap.

"Peaceful thoughts… gentle breezes and all that crap. I really couldn't handle you having a heart attack."

"Well than there are a few things in your… repertoire, shall we say, you should avoid… You have control over muscles that I am convinced no other human does. Not to say I haven't enjoyed them. Dear God have I enjoyed them. But if you're concerned about giving me a heart attack, grabbing me internally should probably be avoided," Logan said as his heart raced at the thought.

Max rolled over so they were chest to chest. "I'm sorry, I'll take my chances. I enjoy that ability too much to give it up." Logan claimed her mouth as his own. They kissed passionately in the tub as water splashed about. The floor was covered in soapy liquid by the time they got there. The way they went at it on the bathroom floor they looked like fish out of water flopping about.

Through great heaving breaths Max spoke, "We are… definitely… gonna need… a list… of when… Bling's coming over." Logan breathed equally as heavy but laughed intermittently.

"You're… right. No room… is safe… from us," he said with a chuckle. Max giggled and grabbed a towel. Each had fun drying the other.

Both mainly dry, Logan wheeled them into his bedroom. Max got under the covers as Logan positioned himself onto the bed. "What are you doing under there? Hiding?" he asked impishly.

"No… I just thought we were going to bed."

"Oh… I was kind of hoping we could play a little," he said with a smile.

"Play?" she questioned.

Nuzzling her ear he said, "Touching, kissing, holding… that kind of stuff."

"I think I'm gonna like Play time."
