Chapter Ten
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss, but you know, that you can't fight the moonlight...
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know
That you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
Cause you know
Cause you know
That you
Can't fight the moonlight
"I really thought we weren't doing this again." Max stated as Logan strolled into her crappy hotel room.
"Yeah but apparently there was something else we needed to talk about." Logan offered plopping down on the bed next to her.
"You know if I'd known back then that giving you my blood would have this side effect then I never would have done it." Max mocked giving him a playful shove.
"Watch it I may just wake you up." Logan threatened.
"Oh I'm shaking now," she teased.
"All right fine." he answered pushing her down on the bed and quickly straddling her so that she couldn't move. "All it takes is one kiss you know and then we could be talking it out like normal people." he said inches from her lips.
"Alright. Alright you win." Max said shoving him off of her. "What's this unresolved thing we are here to discuss?" she questioned. Logan pulled her closer and whispered in her ear. Max giggled in response.
"No." she finally answered his whispered question.
"All right your loss." he growled and Max suddenly had the urge to reconsider her answer.
"I want no part of those dreams Mr. Cale." she finally decided she'd made the correct choice.
"If I had my way it wouldn't be just a dream you know," he offered seriously.
"I know."
"Does that scare you?" he asked as he began to place kisses on her cheek and neck.
"I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't." She answered turning to him and mirroring his actions.
"I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't also," he added. Max stopped and pulled back.
"Really?" she questioned surprised at his comment. He only nodded.
"I don't think I can leave you again Logan." She answered with an intensity that shook him. She really couldn't.
"I don't think I could live if you did. I'm not going to be the one to ask you to either." he promised.
"Good." Max punctuated her answer by kissing his nose. "Now what was it we were going to discuss?" she questioned.
"I think we just did." Logan commented as the dream began to fade around them.
"What no goodbye kiss?" she questioned childishly as the last bits of the dream faded.
Logan rolled over and pulled Max into his arms. It never ceased to amaze him how beautiful she was in sleep. Max's eyes slowly fluttered open and he hesitated just a moment questioning with his eyes if she'd been there too.
Seeing her answer he lowered his head and slowly kissed her, savoring every moment, every texture and taste.
When he broke away she was smiling.
"What was that all about?" she asked coyly. Letting his eyes travel from the top of her head to her lips and then back to her eyes he smiled again.
"I think we are done with goodbye kisses. I just wanted to start hello kisses," he offered flippantly.
"Hello." she offered coyly, toying with the buttons on his shirt.
"Minx." He offered before he kissed her again.
"Oh but admit it. You love me for it." she toyed when he broke away for air.
"Yeah I do." he admitted sheepishly then paused momentarily while he lost himself in her eyes. "Max?" he questioned seriously.
"Yeah."
"Hello." he smiled before she pushed him down and attended to some much-delayed business.
