Limited time
AN: Thanks for the reviews. I tried to change so you can review without to log in. I hope it worked. So here is Chapter 3. Hope you like it. And hey, Sibelius, thanks for the idea. Try to pick it up. Hope you like it. Once again I have to mention that there are toooooo many M/A fics out. I respect that – though I don't read them. But come on. What's wrong with M/L. After all, they want one another and are even a couple in real life. And btw Logan is much hotter than Alec!!! That's a fact.
Chapter 3: The second attempt
As Logan arrived at the computer room Max and Alec were leaning against the desk and looked at him in anticipation – even though both with a different one. Logan plopped down in the chair and switched on his equipment. He checked his mails and hacked himself in the recent police files to see if anything unusual – like a dogboy – appeared in the files. But nothing. He frowned thinking that this could probably take all night and turned to Max and Alec with a questioning look on his face. As none of them seemed to answer he asked "So now what? You can't search the whole city for him", and with a wanton gaze at Max he added, "that'll take all night. He'll show up eventually. Who knows, maybe he just need a little time for himself."
"Yeah, maybe. But he would never leave without telling us where he's going. It ought to be something important. And we can't just sit around waiting for him to show up. We need to look for him", Max said reluctantly – noticing the wanton gaze from Logan. Even though she wanted nothing but jump his bones right away she had to focus on Joshua. And the man that Logan was – all responsible and good and caring – he would understand.
"So where to start then Max? This is a big city", Logan asked knowing that it's not the time for passion and lust. He didn't want to talk her out of finding Joshua only because his pants were too tight. So he figured he'll support them to find Joshua – 3 can cover more ground than 2.
"I think we start at fathers house and see if we find any lead to where he might have headed", Alec stated and made it's way out of the penthouse not even bothering to let Logan and Max come up with another idea.
Logan got up from his chair and walked over to Max who still leaned on his desk. "Let's go then. We have no time to loose", he said with an intense gaze into her chocolate eyes, only to add, "and you know: we got all the time in the world." With that he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss and headed out of the penthouse himself. //We have no time to loose. And we have all time in the world. God knows what he meant by that. Those folks at Manticore sure thought us a lot - but not how to understand a horny guys mind.// Max sight and walked out to follow the guys to fathers or Joshuas house.
Once there they split up and searched every room. Alec went to the basement where he found dozens of pictures of Annie. Max covered the living room, the hallway and the small kitchen, where she found several sketches of Annie. Logan went to the other spare rooms and the bathroom. Nothing in the spare rooms upstairs and the bathroom looked normal too. But he decided to go through the medicine cabinet. He raised his eye brows. Aftershave, perfume and, well yeah, condoms. //What the hell is he doing with condoms??// He asked himself. Then Max entered the bathroom with Alec. "Nothing here", Max said. "Nothing here as well", Alec reported.
"What the hell is he doing with condoms??" Logan asked, this time out loud. Alec and Max looked at each other in shock. Logan looked at them not knowing what was going on there. "What?" he requested.
"Annie!!", Alec and Max shouted out in one voice.
"What?? Annie?? What are you talking about? Who is Annie? And what the hell is he doing with condoms??", Logan exploded in questions.
"Well Annie is kind of his love interest. She's blind and had dinner with him once – or maybe twice. And I don't know what the hell he wants with those condoms" Max tried to explain to Logan but she wasn't sure if she knew how to explain everything. God she didn't even know if she wanted to be able to explain everything.
"So I guess we find him there then. But I'm sure that I don't want to go there", Alec finished. Now they all stood there. Each lost in thoughts. First they all had a wondering expression on their faces, but at the end there was a round of "Oh my gods", "Yuks", "No ways" and "I don't want to imagines". They looked at each other and without saying a word they knew they had to be sure if he was there. Just to be on the safe side. He might be somewhere else. But now that was the only clue they had and they had to follow it – if they liked it or not.
Once at Annie's place they got out of Logan's car and hesitantly made their way to the front door. They rang the bell and each was careful to keeps their eyes on their feet. //I'm already screwed up enough the way I am. I don't need to see a dog boy making hot doggy love to a blind woman while the real dog is watching// Alec thought while waiting for the door to be opened. //God, an hour ago I was so turned on. Right now sex is the really last, very last thing on my mind// Max thought trying not to imagine the sight. //God, an hour ago I was so turned on. Right now sex is the really last, very last thing on my mind// Logan too thought having to think about the dinner Joshua once cooked for them – "little hot dogs"- and had to shake his head to get the pictures out that were building in front of his eyes.
After a while the door opened and "a quite out of breath" Annie stood in the door. "Hello, who's this?" she asked. The three of them looked at each other in shock. Alec recovered first, "Hey Annie this is Alec, a friend of Joshuas. Those are Joshuas friends Max and Logan. We just wondered if you happened to see Joshua around today...eh, sorry I mean....was Josh around here today.....maybe??" Alec stuttered. Just then Joshua appeared in the door. His shirt half open. "Hey there Alec, Logan, little fella'. What's up??" he asked slightly embarrassed.
"Nothing. We just wondered where you were. But I guess that now we know that we ....ahm....should just go. We were just worried about you. So take care.....you two. And good night big fella'", Max said and turned around to leave.
"Yeah, take care. We see each other around", Logan waved and turned to follow Max to the car. Before Alec could say his good byes and run Joshua asked Annie to wait for him inside and stepped outside on the porch to talk to Alec about "some technical stuff".
********
Logan jumped into the driver seat and Max sat next to him staring out the window in disbelief. "That was weird", Logan said sitting there looking at Max. "Hell yeah. I mean I wished him a normal life and all. I hoped that one day he won't be considered and seen as the dogboy he is. But hell I sure didn't want to be part of that party tonight", Max said shaking her head.
"Let's forget about it and head home", Logan stated starting the engine and sped off.
******
//Just great. You go running from this place and I'm stuck here with a gigantic dogboy asking for sex advice// Alec thought when he saw Max and Logan take off and heard Joshua babble something about romance and where one thing lead to another and ............
*******
Back at the penthouse Max went straight to the couch and plopped down on it all stretched out. Logan went to the kitchen. They normally just drank wine but today something stronger was needed. He poured them two glasses of whiskey and joined Max on the couch. They drank and tried to forget about the events of the last 2 hours. "How much time left", Logan asked once he could get rid of the pictures in his head for good. "1 hour and 45 minutes", Max replied, not having been so successful to vanish the pictures in her head.
"Well, then we shouldn't be wasting any time", Logan said and took the glass out of her hand and put it with his on the couch table. Then he took her face in his hands. "Finally", he whispered and kissed her. Max didn't respond at first but as he asked access to her mouth with his tongue she relaxed and opened for him. They were dueling tongues for minutes before Logans hands found their way under Max shirt. He loved her soft skin, loved to touch her and hear her little moans when his hand just brushed lightly past her breasts. She was working on his shirt and managed to unbutton it quickly. She slid it off his shoulders but didn't want to break that passionate kiss to finally explore his muscular chest.
After minutes of hot kissing and hands roaming Logan decided it was time that she lost her shirt too. He broke the kiss and focused on taking her shirt off. But she got off the couch before he could do so and shouted, "Oh my god Logan. I will never be able to call him big fella' anymore without picturing him.....oh my god...". She made her way to the kitchen and returned with the whiskey bottle. She poured the two glasses and took a gulp and slumped down next to Logan on the couch. He just looked at her wondering where the hell that came from. //We're about to have sex and she thinks of Joshua??!!//.
"I'm sorry Logan. It's just I can't get those images out of my head. Joshusa, Annie and.....god. Sorry. But I can't do that now. I just want our first time to be just you and me....ahm.....not that I want it any other way in the future. Don't get me wrong. But this is just too much right now. Can't we just sit here and talk and drink??", Max asked with an apologizing smile.
Logan sight and came to the conclusion that after this he'll probably end up thinking something, he'd rather not want to think about at their first time. "It's okay Max. I totally understand. And as I mentioned earlier – way earlier – we have all the time in the world". So he took is glass and said his cheers.

After an hour they managed to drink the whole bottle of whiskey while talking about tonight's events. They joked and laughed their butts off. And after a while they figured that Joshua had a right to lead a normal – or at least for him normal – life. And who are they to judge him. After all, if two people are in love it doesn't matter what gender, what color, what age or what "race" they are. Love is love. They decided to be happy for them and broke down into another round of laughter considering Alec having to give Joshua some advice when it comes to sex.
They drank and laughed and talked. They felt easy and happy and pretty drunk but they were happy to finally accept Joshuas love life and were glad to get the pictures out of their minds. They started kissing. Slow and teasing at first while Logan tickled Max. But the kiss soon grew more passionate.
Logan finally got her tank top off her and she did the same with his shirt just like before. He gazed down at her and finally was able to do what he so longed to do all night, maybe all the time they knew each other. He kissed his way from her neck down to her collarbone and then down to her breasts. He caressed one with his hand teasing the already hard nipples. With his mouth he feverishly took the other nipple and sucked hard on it. Max held her breath. It felt amazing, she needed more. She arched up against his mouth letting out little screams every time he bit down and soft moans when he made it better with his tongue.
Maybe it was the dancing. Maybe it was the making out in the elevator. Maybe it was the whiskey. Maybe it was the talk and the laughter they shared before. Maybe it was all of that together or maybe it was just him. But she never felt that good, that relaxed and lightheaded in her life. She never felt so much herself – even though she never knew who she really was. But right now everything seemed so easy, so natural and so meant to be. She was happy. She was content. She felt save and loved.
She could have cried if there wasn't that sexy hunk sucking on her breast and fumbling on her zipper. He kissed down her stomach and all thoughts fled her mind in an instant. She could feel him hard against her thigh and could feel that her pants were being slid down. That was all she was aware of until it stopped....//Oh, god please don't. Why the hell does he stop// she thought as he slid the pants back up her thighs.
"Why the hell do you stop?", she practically yelled at him. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He was panting. Sweat covered his face and chest. She didn't know what the hell happened. She leaned up on her elbows and then she heard it herself. The pager. Time was up.
"Well, what are 17 hours if we have the rest of our lives, right?" Logan said breathing hard but with a dumb grin on his face.
"Yeah, and why the hell are you grinning at that??", Max wanted to know not knowing what there is to grin about.
"Well, I would have been concerned if nothing had interrupted us. That's us Max. And after all our worries that everything will change once we try to move a step further we are here on that couch. Ready to go and find out that pretty much nothing changed at all. Besides the fact that we don't have to do the dancing around each other for month again till we get another chance and not take it", he said still grinning.
"Right. You're right", Max said now smiling herself. "17 hours seem to be a long time considering the state we're in now. But this pent up energies will certainly contribute to the party we're having tomorrow night. And I'll take care of it that nothing will interrupt us then." She said getting up and putting her tank top back on. "So I get my horny ass back home. I'll see you tomorrow night.....and keep your hands off yourself....I will be able to tell the difference."
With that she grabbed her jacket, leaned down to kiss him passionately one last time and headed out the door letting him not doubt her words and leaving him full of anticipation for the next evening to COME.
AN: Sorry guys. I don't know where that came from. Blame it on my wicked and very twisted mind. I know it's not that good. As a matter of fact I didn't know if I should have posted that. But I did it anyway. Hope you'll be gentle with me. But remember "I wanted to create a fun fic", and remember that I'm a big tease. And how much fun would it be if they would just get it on in Chapter one. Dark Angel is about episodes. So is this. Thanks. And please R+R. Hope it works with the not login in part. Now you know why I'm proud to be a freak.
