Alec awoke with his arms wrapped around something warm and soft. His sleep- fogged brain didn't register what it he was holding only that it smelled good. He pulled it closer and snuggled into it. Then all of a sudden his eyes snapped open and he recognised Max. *Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit* He thought to himself. * At some point in the night he must have shifted from restraining her to cuddling her and when she woke up she was going to be super pissed. Unless… she never found out. *

All Alec had to do was gently roll over and Max would never know.

It wasn't as easy as it sounded. Max was so warm and his side of the bed was so cold. He couldn't bring himself to do it. *How does something like this happen? * He wondered frantically to himself. *I'm not even a cuddly person! I never stay long enough to cuddle a woman and the one time that I do I have to go ahead and do it with Max. Piranha teeth kick you to the curb Max. This is just great! I'm definitely going to lose some body parts. *

While he was lying there pondering his next move Max rolled to face him. She smiled sleepily up into his face and kissed him gently on the lips. Alec's eyebrows shot up. *Not exactly the reaction I was expecting* She tasted sweet like fresh strawberries and Alec couldn't help himself from kissing her back. Max's hands ran along his chest and down his washboard abs. The kiss became more frantic. They broke apart long enough for Max to remove her shirt. Her bra and panties soon followed. For Alec who was still half-asleep it was almost like a dream…



When Max awoke she discovered herself in a tangle of naked sweaty limbs and smiled. *Alec had certainly lived up to all his bragging. Of course she couldn't let him know that. She had wanted him and it had been great. But what if he didn't want her? What if he left her for some broad? What if this was only a one-night stand sort of deal for him? Could she take the rejection? She had practically forced herself on him. Would he have even slept with her if she hadn't? * The questions flooded through Max's mind and she decided that she couldn't be hurt like that. Not by Alec.



Alec was sleeping off the most wonderful experience of his life. The girl of his dreams had actually kissed him and then slept with him. *No slept with sounds so dirty compared to that. We made love. I swear that if I could have Max I would never want another woman. * All of a sudden Alec found himself on the floor.

"What the hell have you done?" Max cried angrily at him tears in her eyes. " You took advantage of me while I was sleeping?"

"What?" Alec said confused.

"You bastard! How could you do such a thing? Did you think I wouldn't remember? Did you think that could just have your way with me and forget about it?" Max kicked him hard.

"Hey you kissed me."

"I did not kiss you Alec and even if I had a kiss is a little different than having sex with a sleeping person."

"But…"

" Are you that horny that you'll sleep with anything?"

"No."

"Then why'd you do it Alec? Why?"

"I thought that you…wanted me to." Alec looked down dejected. His fantasy world had come crashing down around him. "I thought it was special. But obviously I'm wrong as usual."

Max's heart melted but her face remained hard. Alec looked up into it for hope and finding none. Pulled on his clothes and went to the door.

"Where are you going?" Max asked the slightest hint of desperation in her voice.

"Out."

"Are you coming back?"

"I haven't decided yet." Alec opened the door and stared. The world was white and blustery. "There's been a blizzard." He said shocked.

"How can that be?" Max asked, "It's July."

Alec shrugged, grabbed his leather jacket and disappeared into the snow.

Max collapsed on the bed in a fit of tears. * What had she done? *

A/n Ok I know it's short but I'm going away for the weekend and I wanted to post something first.
