Love to Hate You, Hate to Love You

AN: Pari, glad you liked it. It was kind of hard to write the steamy stuff and try and get a bit of Max/Alec-ish banter in there, even if they weren't really bantering. Thanks RPgirl, but now you probably think I don't do such a good job with the updating do you, hehe. Well Black Angel if sex = good then I guess it's the best chapter, lol. Magnus, I agree but on the opposite end with the roles reversed, if ya know what I mean. Your welcome Jewls, sometimes smut is a must have. Thanks Lisa. Emerald, it's okay if you didn't like it, and there are to many heat scenes out there but it's just something every M/A shipper would of liked to see happen on the show and it's a bit intriguing to think about since he does have feline DNA as well. Plus here it's just a catalyst. Thanks Baloo, it wasn't even that NC-17 of a scene anyways. Bit more tasteful than showgirls I think, considering that's the only NC-17 movie I've seen but it may have been the R version, whatever the movie sucked, the dancing was good.

Chapter 15
Max slowly opened her eyes. The light from behind the blind was murky, telling her it was still early in the morning. Wonder if the morning began like this yesterday? Max thought. Maybe but you wouldn't know, the whether wasn't what you were thinking about yesterday. Max looked up at Alec's face. She could suppress the grin on her face. "He looks so boyish when he sleeps." Especially when he has such a satisfied grin on his face, but beggars shouldn't be choosers, I'm sure I had a similar one while I slept as well.
Max rested her cheek back on Alec's chest, absentmindedly making circles on his smooth skin with her finger. She snuggled a bit closer to him, relishing in the comfort his heartbeat gave her. I'm just going to enjoy the moment until he wakes up and realizes I'm no longer in heat and I have to act like he's the bubonic plague.
Max's pretty face scrunched up in confusion as she lay half on top of the male transgenic. Why aren't I upset about this? I mean for god's sake, I slept with Alec. Then the other inner voice chuckled, you did more than just sleep with Alec, actually sleep barely had a role in this.
"I was in heat." She whispered. I didn't have a choice really, hell he could have been Normal and I would have been ripping at his clothes. But Alec was wearing a towel that sure as hell would not have been as enticing a sight if it had been wrapped around Normal's waist. Alec took advantage of my heat. Max's face started to redden. No he didn't, your heat didn't give him anymore self-control than you had. He actually gave you the chance to get away.
"But I didn't want escape." She whispered, not denying that she had welcomed the excuse of her heat. You wanted the boy, and you still do.
*******
Alec woke to the sound of the shower running.
He was both a little disappointed that he didn't get to wake up with her in his arms and relieved at the same time.
Would she take one look at him and know?
He was afraid that he now figured it out himself that he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that he loved her.
"How am I going to pretend that I don't?" He asked himself out loud. How would he go on like nothing happened, because he was sure that's what Max would do…after she kicked his ass.
For some reason that thought triggered ones from the past 24 hours.
He couldn't help the small grin that crept onto his face.
He had been with another female X5 when she was in heat back at Manticore at the beginning of the breeding program, and it was nothing compared to what had transpired between him and Max.
"That had to be the most amazing sex of my life." He said out loud. God the way she tasted, felt, and god the way she made me feel. He sighed as he heard the shower still going and sat up.
"Shit." He muttered as he winced in pain. He got up and was on his way over to a mirror when someone knocked on the motel room door. So instead he went over to his bag and grabbed a pair of boxers and slipped them on as the knocking continued.
"Max…Alec…it's us." Came Logan's voice through the wood.
Alec froze, "Shit!" Shit, shit, and double shit.
******
Max groaned as the cold water poured over her, though she had started out taking a warm shower.
She couldn't get her mind off Alec and what they had done and the fact that she was glad it had happened, though at the same time she was a bit upset.
She had betrayed Logan.
Even though she was starting to admit to herself that she was no longer in love with him, it didn't mean that his feelings for her had dissipated like hers had.
"Max, stop thinking about Logan." She instructed herself. Okay let's think about Alec then. Max smiled. Damn that boy is perfect, my god Manticore out did itself when they made him. She chuckled as she contemplated whether the size of his not-so-little soldier was due to Manticore or just if he had just been 'gifted'.
Max shook her head, water flying across the shower. Stop thinking about THAT, damn it. "Sorry no can do." Max sighed. She moaned as she felt her body heat up at the memories of him being inside her. Damn that felt good. REALLY good, he fit inside me like I was molded to fit around him.
Max flashed back to the argument she had with Asha, and something the other woman had said. "YOU were made for ALEC."
Max turned off the water and wrapped a towel around her body, almost as if she were in a trance. She stared into the fogged up mirror not bothering to wipe the mist away. "God I hate that she's right."
******
Alec took a deep breath as he heard the shower turn off and opened the door to find Logan and Asha standing just outside, "Hey."
"Hey everything is all set we came to get you and Max to take you back to Seattle." Logan said entering the extremely disarrayed room, and tried to ignore the appreciative glance Asha gave the scantily clad Alec.
"What about the baby sellers?" Alec asked shutting the door.
Asha looked around the room, taking in the peculiar scent, "We handed the evidence over to the police and they have a sting going up as we speak, they don't want any of the children to get hurt in any crossfire and said we should stay out of it."
"Stay out of what?" Max asked coming out of the bathroom, now dressed and towel drying her hair.
Alec looked at her then to the floor where his towel from the two nights previous still lay.
Max bit her lip to keep the grin that wanted to form from forming. See you don't even feel guilty and Logan is standing right there. God I'm horrible.
"The child smugglers are going down almost as we speak and the police want us out of the way so we really should be getting back to Seattle…what the hell happened here?" Logan asked, shaking his head as he gazed at a broken lamp, a painting that had fallen from a wall and the tipped over table and chairs, "You two get into a fight?"
Alec and Max looked at each other, not sure what to say.
Asha raised and eyebrow as they waited for an answer.
Max shrugged, "It's me and Alec, what do you think?"
Oh Maxie the classic, escape and evade with answering a question with a question. Alec thought, good one.
Asha sniffed the air, "It does smell kind of sweaty in here, anyways get your stuff so we can head out of here and you two can get back to your normal lives."
Alec went over to his bag and pulled out a pair of black pants and a green sweater and was pulling his pants on when he heard both Asha and Logan gasp.
"What?" Him and Max, who was gathering her stuff, both asked.
Logan whistled as he grabbed Alec and turned him around so Asha and he could see his back, "How the hell did you get these?"
Alec saw Max go pale at whatever was on his back and quickly glanced back into the mirror and saw the scratch marks on his back. He smiled as he remembered how he got them. "Got scratched by a cat," He smirked at Max, "a real wildcat."
