Author's Note: This chapter (although kind of short) is for ACB
who expressed an interest in seeing Max and Vin "hit the sheets." I hope
you like it. And remember if there is anything you guys would like
to see happen let me know and I will try and work it into the story.
Well, let me know what you think!
Lexa followed Max and Original Cindy into their apartment she closed the door behind herself. Max walked straight to the refridgerator and opened the door. She poured herself a glass of ice water and held it to her forehead.
"I'm sorry about what happened in Crash. "Lexa apologized again.
"I'm over it." Max said then sighed. "God it's hot in here." She took off her vest and laid it on the counter. She took a deep sip of the water.
"It is kinda hot in here boo." OC agreed.
"I feel fine." Lexa said.
Original Cindy turned to Lexa her eyes wide. "Suga does this mean what I think it means?" She asked.
Lexa sniffed the air. Max looked at her confusedly. "If she is, it's the early stages." She replied.
"What is? What are you guys talking about?" Max asked.
"You heat Boo." Original Cindy said warily. Then OC frowned. "But you haven't had one since you got out of Manticore again."
This time it was Max who frowned. "You're right, I guess I just assumed that they fixed them."
Lexa spoke up. "Vin and I have seen a few X5 and 6 females since you torched the place and they still had theirs."
"Maybe I'm just off." Max said.
"Or maybe you are getting back on schedule." Lexa countered the added "Whatever it is, we need to know what you want right now while you are still coherent." She told her.
"What do you mean?" Max asked.
"What the girl means boo, is if you want us to let you scratch that itch with her brother." OC said gently.
Max thought a moment. "If it happens it happens. I don't want to go find him now but if we wind up together it's okay." She said slowly.
OC nodded. "Okay." She knew that Max wouldn't have said it if she hadn't meant it. She reached over and pushed a strand of hair out of Max's face. "Why don't you go take a shower and get comfortable?" she suggested. Max nodded and walked away. She closed the door to the bathroom.
"Well, life couldn't get anymore boring could it?" Lexa asked wryly.
Original Cindy laughed. "Just another normal day around here it seems."
"I know that we were supposed to have some girl time but in light of the circumstances, I think I should go." Lexa told her.
"Why suga?"
"Because if she is going into heat, another X5 female is not someone that should be around."
"Boo, you don't have to leave." OC protested.
"Yes, I do. With this many pheromones in the air things always go screwy. I could go back into heat myself, or Max may take me as a challenge. Alpha female and all that." Lexa paused. "I don't think I would be strong enough to go up against Max in any case. She's an Alpha and I'm not."
OC let that digest. "Okay boo, if you think that it's best."
"I do."
"Original Cindy will tell Max when she gets out." She told her.
"Thanks. If you need me I'm going to stay with Alec tonight. That way I am well, out of the way if anything happens."
OC nodded. Lexa let herself out.
~!~!~!~!
She rode her bike to Alec's. She walked up the stairs to his apartment and stopped in front of her door. She listened and heard the tv on. She grinned mischievously. She decided to scare him. She picked the lock and the door swung open. Laying on the couch was Alec. He had his phone in his hand and had fallen asleep watching TV. Lexa grinned and crept closer to him standing over him.
His face was angelic. His lips were moving soundlessly. Then his face grew dark and he frowned. He started to struggle. Lexa sat on the edge of the couch next to him. She stroked his face and strangled scream escaped Alec's lips. His eyes snapped open and he grabbed Lexa's wrist.
His eyes focused on her face and tears filled his eyes. He pulled her to him in a tight hug. "I had this dream- awful- you were." He stuttered.
She rubbed his head and played with the hair at the nape of his neck. "Shh. It's all right. Just a dream." she murmured.
He pulled back. "You don't understand. I was too slow, too late. I couldn't save you in time."
"It was just a dream. I'm fine see?" She stood gesturing to the body.
Alec shook his head. "It was so real."
Lexa moved his leg so it was falling off the couch
than sat in between his legs, laying back against his bare chest.
"Speaking of real did I tell you Max is going into heat?" She twisted around to see his face. The expression on it didn't disappoint her.
His face was pure shock. Then concern. "Shouldn't we tell Vin?" He asked.
Lexa chuckled evilly. "No, no, no. It's more fun this way. It's gonna hit him upside the head."
"But Lexa, if we don't warn him and they.." He trailed off.
"But she's already alright with that." Lexa said with a secretive smile.
"What?" Alec's eyes bugged out. "How do you know that?"
"We asked."
"We?"
"Me and OC. We asked her while she still had it together."
Alec threw up his hands. "Will you women ever stop confusing me? She never wanted to let go with Logan, even before the virus."
"This is different. Vin's an alpha. Vin is VERY willing."
Alec rolled his eyes. "Does it never stop?" Lexa chuckled.
She turned her head to get better access to his neck. She licked seductively along the length of it ending at the hollow behind his ear. Alec groaned and shifted behind her. Then she caught his earlobe in her teeth and bit gently. He growled. Long and low.
Lexa let go of his earlobe and slowly drew back to look in his eyes. They were animalistic. It scared her and she pulled back. She moved to stand and Alec caught her arm.
"Don't. Just let go Lexa. Let it happen. Let's see where it goes. We can worry about it tomorrow." He said his voice low.
Lexa could feel it tugging at her senses. The need to let go, to free herself. She heard Alec growl again and it thrilled something inside of her. He tugged her to him and she went willingly.
Their mouths met in a bruising kiss.
~!~!~!~
Meanwhile across town at Max's.
"Fifty-eight, fifty-nine. Ugh." Max said disgusted and sat down. "Even chin-ups aren't working. I just keep thinking about how big Vin's arms are and how many chin-ups he can do."
"Same thing you said with sit-ups and push-ups hon." OC reminded her.
Max looked at her. "What do you think I should do?" She asked her long time best friend.
"Want the truth?" OC asked. Max nodded.
"Go to the boy."
"That's it?" Max asked.
"That's it. You have denied yourself too long girl. Ain't healthy." Original Cindy pronounced.
Max laughed. "Okay Okay." She became somber. "You know?" She cocked her head to the side. "I think I will go."
OC playfully punched her in the shoulder. "Good. Now maybe you won't be all mopey anymore and I can get some of the ice cream now. Go, get your transgenic ass over there and have some hot monkey sex. I won't expect you for two days."
Max looked shocked. "Cindy.."
OC rolled her eyes. "Get!" She pointed to the door.
Max walked to the door then paused, turning back she asked "What if I stop?" a horrified look came over her face "What if I end up with someone else?"
Original Cindy said. "We'll take our bikes, that way I can keep an eye on you and maybe you will work off some of that energy and you won't hurt the poor boy."
Max gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks boo." They walked down to their bikes.
~!~!~!
Later...
Max stood in front of their door. She took a deep breath. They had made it there without too many problems. Original Cindy had smacked her a couple of times to draw her attention from other men along the way but now she was her.
She knocked softly, a little wary of what was to come. She could hear his footsteps and was about to leave, scared and then he opened the door.
Oh man.
He was just out of the shower obviously. He was still slightly damp with a towel around his shoulders and clad in only boxers.
All Max could think was "Yum."
"Max, what are you doing here?" He asked slightly confused but not at all unhappy.
Max stalked toward him all grace in motion. She stopped when they stood toe to toe. She reached her arms up and hugged him. Drawing his neck down to her she bit him, hard.
"Shit! Max! What the hell are you-" Vin broke off as he realized the look in her eyes and the smell in the air.
"Max, I don't think that-" His sentance was finished by Max's mouth against his. She reversed their positions and she slammed the door to the apartment. Vin broke away from her for a moment.
"Max, you aren't thinking straight right now." He said his voice low as he tried to push her away without looking her in the eyes.
Max slammed him against the door. "Enough thinking for now." She kissed him again. Vin tried to resist but Max's tongue in his mouth was driving him crazy. She tasted like cherries and chocolate and all things good in the world.
He drove his hands into her hair grabbing it in fistfuls. He ate at her mouth like a starving man. She pulled the towel from his shoulders flinging it to the ground. Vin used his hold on her hair to thrust her against the wall.
She raked her nails down his back drawing a growl from Vin's throat. Max felt something deep inside her respond. "Your room." Max purred.
They moved from the wall and started towards his room. They bumped into the couch moving it several feet to slam against the wall. The end blocked the door to his room and the couple decided it would be too much effort at the moment to move it.
Vin perched her on the back of the couch and kissed his way down the right side of her neck, inching her shirt up from the bottom. Max grew impatient and pushed him away and pulled it over her head.
His eyes grew round as he realized she wasn't wearing a bra. "Max." He moaned.
"Vin.." she responded and pushed his boxers off.
~!~!~!
Afterwards they lay on the floor their sweaty bodies entangled. Vin laughed. "Well, that was an interesting experience."
"Oh was it?" Max asked.
"Oh yeah."
Their coupling had been fast but gentle and Max could feel herself hungering for him again. Their eyes locked and they moved inward to kiss at the same time. Vin kissed her neck and nibbled at her ear, Max nudged him away with her chin and kissed his neck softly, lightly licked.
"Oh and Vin?"
"Yes?" His voice rumbled.
"I won't break." She told him. He took her at her word.
~!~!!~
The next morning at Alec's....
Lexa opened her eyes to sunlight streaming in through Alec's window. Alec's arm was thrown possessively over her, his hand resting lightly on her stomach. She turned her head to look at him and groaned with soreness. She looked at her shoulder and saw a perfect imprint of Alec's teeth in it, an already fading bruise surrounding it.
It felt like every muscle in her body hurt, she was pretty sure her hair was sore also. A knot had formed in the back of her head where Alec had pulled her hair.
She covered Alec's hand with her own and said gently "Alec, wake up."
"No." He said his voice thick with sleep, sounding like a petulant child.
"C'mon, we will be late for work."
"We're sick." He said.
"No we aren't."
Without responding he reached over the side of the bed for the phone laying on the floor.
"Ugh, woman, what did you do to mean?" He complained.
"To you? Look at my shoulder!" She replied showing him his handiwork.
"Well, we seem to have a matching set." He showed her his neck.
Lexa laughed. Alec dialed the phone.
"We can't.." She started to protest but Alec held up a finger to her mouth and said "Hush."
"Normal buddy. I hate to do this to you but I can't make it to work." He listened for a moment. "I know it's short notice but I got into a little bar fight last night." again he listened. "Naw, I'm fine. Just a couple of bruises and stuff. Max and Lexa came and got me. Lexa's patched me up pretty good." His face broke into a grin. "Don't worry about coming by Normal. Lexa said she would be my nurse, that is if you don't mind." His grin widened if possible. "Thanks Normal, I'll tell her and I'll think about getting back in professionally. Oh, by the way Max won't be in. I don't think you would want her to anyway. Female problems. She nearly bit my head off." A moment listening to Normal, then "Good choice my boy."
He hung up the phone and turned to Lexa. "Good think OC didn't have to work today."
Lexa just shook her head. "Is there anything that he won't let you get away with?" She asked.
"Nope." He smiled. He gathered her into his arms and tried to roll her on top of him. They both groaned.
"Maybe we should just get up." Alec suggested.
"Yeah. Good idea." Lexa agreed.
They got into the shower and dressed. Moving stiffly for transgenics they ate and washed the dishes.
"Come here." Alec said opening his arms to her. She stepped into them and laid her head against his chest. He placed a gentle kiss on top of her head. "I love you."
"And I you." She replied.
"Don't you think we should talk about last night?" He asked.
She pulled away from him looking into his eyes.
He went on. "I know it scared you a little, hell it scared me. But it felt right. Don't you think?"
She nodded. "It was like there was this connection."
He nodded emphatically. "Right. Like you know exactly-"
"what you wanted? It was that way for me." she finished.
"What do you think it means?" He asked.
"I think since they fooled around with our DNA at Manticore they made us perfect for each other."
"One thing to be grateful to them for." He said kissing her.
"Hmm." She replied not sounding like she agreed.
He turned concerned eyes on her. "Do you regret it?"
"No, it's not that. Not that at all. It's just I don't feel grateful to Manticore for anything. We were their slaves."
Alec hugged her to calm her. Lexa pulled away. "Let's go see Vin and Max."
"But if they are-"
"They won't be. At least they shouldn't be. If they are together, then they mated within the first twenty four hours of her heat, the pheromones should be gone by now. If they are it's purely for recreation." She said.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yep."
"Okay, if you say so. Lets go."
~!~!~!
They arrived thirty minutes later at their door arguing.
"Lexa! You could have killed us!"
"Oh, c'mon, it wouldn't have hurt us too bad. We recover fast."
"That's no excuse! You couldn't keep your hands to yourself just for the ride here?"
"Please, you act like you have never done anything crazy."
"Not that crazy."
Lexa snorted like she didn't believe him. She opened the door and gasped.
Alec stepped into the apartment first. The couch was overturned and up against the far wall. Some of the shelves had been broken, their contents scattered on the floor.
"My cds." Lexa moaned.
"Shh. It may have been White. He could still be here." That thought sent their senses on alert.
They moved in unison, soundlessly across the living room floor. Lexa looked into the kitchen and notice a cabinet open and a few glasses lay on the counter one broken.
"I am going to kill that bastard." She whispered.
"You hear that?" Alec asked.
Lexa listened intently and nodded. "Breathing. From my room."
They walked stealthily toward her room. They stood side by side, the door was partly open. Alec signaled that he was going to kick the door open. She nodded and he did. It caused a loud noise as it hit against the wall. They looked into the room and
"You guys had sex in my BED!" Lexa screamed as they saw Vin and Max laying in a dead sleep on top of her sheets. Naked.
"EEw!" Alec said and turned away.
"Lexa-" Vin started.
"My bed! Alec just got me that mattress!" The pair in the bed tried to cover themselves.
"Let them get dressed Lexa." Alec said still turned away and pulled her to the living room.
~ !~!~!
A few minutes later Max and Vin came out. Vin had her sheets around his waist and Max had on Lexa's robe.
"I'm sorry. We weren't exactly thinking straight." Vin apologized.
"Uh huh." Lexa said frowning and tapping her foot on the floor. "Well, I hope it was worth it." She said. Then laughed. "It's about damn time. You guys get this one for free, but the next time I find you in my bed, it's gonna get ugly."
Relief broke out on their faces. Lexa went to her room and pulled some clothes from her closet and gave them to Max.
"Here, take these and go shower you two. You stink." She said.
"Ha. Ha." Vin said. He went to his room to grab cloths. Lexa went to hers and pulled the sheets from her bed.
"Here." She said as she gave them to him. "I will never be able to sleep in them again. At least put them to good use."
He blushed. "Ah, okay." Then he joined Max in the shower.
Lexa turned to Alec and said "Kids." And she rolled her eyes.
*** To Be Continued..
By the way I was thinking about setting up a website with my stories on it.. something simple. Anyway, I was thinking about doing a "naughtier" version of this chapter on it. What do you guys think? Review and let me know.
