Limited time

Chapter 5:

AN: Hey shippers. Here goes another chapter. Check it out and review. Figured you could take some more teasing. Tell me if I'm wrong. So hold on – here it comes. Sorry if it's not all that good and has some bad grammar and spelling mistakes. It's midnight and I only have a 45 minute break before I have to go back to work. But I got some e-mails complaining were the next chapter is. So I figured I use those 45 minutes to come up with something. Let's see were it goes. I'm as surprised as you. Btw, I have to go back to work, so I will not write a smut chapter here and now – who would be able to concentrate if you have a naked Logan in your mind right. Great. Now that I say it I might just have that in mind for the rest of the night. So here it comes. Enjoy it and please, please, please review. If you have any suggestions tell me. The next chapter is not written yet – hell it's not even in my crazy little mind yet.

Chapter 5: Another attempt??!!

"Hey, hey lovebirds. Didn't exactly THAT got you in here in the first place?" Bling arrived and couldn't hide his amusement. Max and Logan broke contact and were relieved that he finally came.

"That was about time Bling. What took you so long? We're waiting for 1 ½ hours in here", Logan barked impatiently while buttoning his shirt. Max checked if her cloth was all back in place and stood on the door of the cell waiting to finally get out.

The officer slowly walked to the desk and looked for the keys. Then he slowly walked to Logans cell and opened it. He then walked ever so slow over to where Max was standing. "Could you hurry up?" Max spat. Finally out Logan grabbed her hand and they sped away patting Bling on the shoulder and said quick thanks on their run out. They hopped in the car and sped off to Logans place.

"How much time left?" Logan asked as they entered the penthouse. He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled Max into his bedroom. Max checked her pager and frowned. "Not enough. Far not enough", Max said showing him the pager while Logan pulled her on the bed.

"Damn. 25 minutes", he thought for a second and grinned. "I can do that", he said and kissed her passionately while working on her shirt. But Max interrupted him.

"Maybe. But I can't. Logan I really don't mind if our first time is not slow and romantic. But I really don't want it to be 20 minutes humping and pumping and then go home. You understand that, right?" Max said breaking the kiss and putting her hands on his chest to stop him from going any further.

"I know. You're right", Logan said taking his hands off her and laying down on the bed. "But we still have 20 minutes." He said and spread his arms. Max grinned and settled down next to him, "Evidently. So what are we gonna do?" Max whispered while turning around to caress his naked chest and kiss his neck.

"How about that?" Logan said with a husky voice and rolled Max on her back while he moved on top. He gazed down into her beautiful eyes. He stroke her hair out of her face and softly touched her cheek. "You are so beautiful Max. I love you so much. Even 6 hours wouldn't be enough to show you just how much I love you."

With that he lowered his head and kissed her. It was a soft and slow kiss. Full of emotions and love. She was softly caressing his back and he played with her hair. They were continuing to softly kiss till the pager went of. Reluctantly they broke the kiss and gazed each other in the eyes. They lay like that for 1 more minute until Max got up.

"I just hate that virus bitch", Max sadly said. "And I hate that cure as well."

"I know Max. But we're gonna beat this. I know it." Logan said getting up as well. He moved past her to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "How about a sandwich? I'm kinda hungry."

"Why not. That's pretty much everything we can share right now", she said and hopped on the counter to watch him prepare their late night snack. "You know Logan. Maybe we should go and see that lab geek tomorrow. Maybe he already found something new on that temporary cure. Because this is really insane. The entire universe seems to know when we have our 6 hours. And everybody is just so determined to not let us enjoy our limited time."

"Yeah, a temporary cure would make our screwed up life a little easier. Why don't we go there during your lunch break tomorrow?", Logan suggested and Max nodded while eating her sandwich.

********

"Maybe it is just not meant to be", Max said to a laughing Original Cindy after telling her the story from last night.

"No, no. Don't blame the universe or the circumstances, boo. If you and your hotboy could have kept your hands to yourselves then you would have made it to his place and could have shared at least 4 hours making hot monkey love. But no. You had to jump his bones in front of a sector checkpoint. Suga, it's all on you." OC finished.

"Yeah. You're right. But still this is not fair. That's why Logan and I are gonna go to that lab geek to see if there's a chance for a temporary cure. Wish us luck. Gotta jet. Later." Max said and rushed out of Jam Pony's to ride to the lab geek.

************

"Max. Logan. Nice to see you. So, do you enjoy your virus free time?" the lab geek asked as he came into the office. They shook hands and he sat on the edge of the desk with Max and Logan seated in front of him. "So what can I do for you today?"

"We just wanted to see if there is any progress on the temporary cure." Logan explained and he and Max looked at the geek intensely.

"Well. Yes and no. Depends on", the geek replied.

"What do you mean. Depending on what?" Max asked confused.

"Well. I've run some tests. And they promised to work. But I can't say for sure. I would have to run some more tests. But you know. Those tests are very, very expensive." The geek answered.

"How much?" Logan asked and knew that if it was more than 5000 $ then he couldn't pay.

"Well, as I said. Those tests are very expensive. I can't put an exact figure on just how much they will cost but I it'll be something around 25.000 $. A little more or less."

"25.000 $????" Max and Logan said out of one mouth. How in the world could they come up with so much dough.

"Well, okay. And if we bring you the money. How fast will the cure be ready?" Logan asked and got a confused glance from Max. How could he actually consider to throw so much money down that geeks throat. Max rather wanted to break him some bones till he finished the cure now and for free.

"Well. If you bring me the money it'll take probably another week or so till I've finished – but I can't promise you that it'll work", the geek stated already picturing himself counting the money.

"Okay then. We bring you the money in a couple of days. Come on Max." Logan said, shook the geeks hand and left the office. Max followed still wondering where Logan wanted to get so much money from.

"So where the hell do you want to get 25.000 $ from, huh? You have nothing left to sell and I don't believe you have that much money laying around in your penthouse" Max asked once they were outside at the parking lot.

"Look Max. We have done so many good things for other people. And now it is time to do something for us, no matter what it takes. So where do you think we can find 25 grand??" Logan asked smiling.

"Logan Cale. You don't suggest that we're gonna steal the money, do you?" Max asked teasingly and came dangerously close to Logan. He swallowed hard and backed off a little. He wasn't really sure about the stealing part, but after seeing Max' look in her eyes and with her walking close to him with swaying hips he was oh so sure about it. Steal that god damn money and get busy.

"I've never been so god damn sure about anything in my life", he answered huskily and took another step backwards till he was pinned on his car and Max so dangerously close to him. "Max. Back off. I'll pick you up at 10. In the meantime I going to look for someone with that much money laying around." He said and Max backed up satisfied with her effect on Logan and the fact that he would betray his own principles to be able to touch her. She hopped on her bike and went back to work.

"And this rotten warehouse has 25 grand in the safe? Are you sure?" Max asked as they approached an old and far off warehouse.

"It says so in the files. That guy who owns the place, G. Berman, is a corrupt and criminal mogul of some kind of media company who would print or show pretty much every shit if paid enough money for it. So of course he doesn't want anybody to know about his wealth and stores it here till he finds a way to wash it clean. So I'd say there is a hell of a lot more in there than 25.000 $ considering the shit they are going to show", Logan finished. He researched well and decided that it even was a good think taking the money. Of course he planned a broadcast about that later, just to justify his actions and to get this Berman freak kicked – once and for all.

"You are still sure about this, Logan?", Max asked needing one last confirmation before going in.

"Yes Max. I already told you about a million times. Stop asking me that. Let's go in. There shouldn't be a lot of security at this time at night. So did you take the pill? I wouldn't want to run into you in case we have to make a quick escape", Logan asked.

"Yes Logan. About an hour ago. Are your ready?", Max said and prepared to pick the lock on the back door of the warehouse.

Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her close. He kissed her feverishly on her lips letting his tongue explore her mouth once again. After a minute he stopped and let go of her. Max was confused and looked at him. "For luck", Logan just whispered and Max got back to her action of picking the lock, still a little shaky from that amazing and hot kiss they just shared.

They made their way in and quickly found the safe. Max knelt down in front of it and carefully listened for the little click sounds as she searched for the right code to open it.

"Got it", she said after only 1 minutes. She opened the safe and Logan knelt behind her. The safe was packed with money. "Wow. That must be more than 500.000 $ in cash", Max said after quickly scanning the load of money in the safe. "So how much do we need?", she asked Logan. Sure enough he would just take 25.000 and get out. She on the other hand would take some more. Just in case the cure needed more tests.

"Ahm, how about 50?", Logan asked. Max started to get the money and put it in her backpack. She smiled, even though Logan couldn't see it, but she liked this new Logan. More daring and less concerned about his actions. A combination that truly turned Max on even more – if possible.

She closed the safe again and they both headed for the exit. Looking forward to the 5 hours they had left of the night. Tonight would be the night. Nothing is gonna come between them and hot passionate sex. They both were sure about that. But what was that? (AN: sorry guys).

Max froze on the spot and listened to hear where the sound came from. "Someone is coming in", she said and looked for another exit. Nothing. The footsteps came closer and they looked for a place to hide. Logan found a little storage room and pulled Max inside with him. They closed the door and listened. They heard the voices of two men. One of them gave the security guard the order to stay put in front of the main door and to another to secure the back exit. Then he turned to the other man - who Berman referred to as Josh - and offered him a seat and a drink.

"Great. This takes a little longer I guess", Max said wishing they had been here 5 minutes earlier.

"Seems to. Can you see anything through that crack in the door?" Logan asked pinned with his back to the wall not able to move. This storage room sure was

tiny. There was just enough space in for him and Max. //Thank god she took that pill. There would have been no way not to touch in here.// Logan thought.

"Nope. Nothing. They seem to sit on the other side of the room. Damn. What do we do now? Knock em out and leave?", Max asked. With Logan so close behind her she wanted nothing else than to get out of there. Fast.

"I don't know. But if we knock em out they will check and find out that some money is gone. Then they will find a new place to store it and there's no way then to take them down. And they will never stop to distribute shit. I guess we'll have to wait. I don't think it takes all too long." Logan mused and Max gave in with a loud breath and checked the crack again in search of some face. //And here we are again. Saving the world from shit shown on TV. Again doing good things for somebody else. Hell, I don't even have a TV. But if Logan needs to do it then I might as well be able to wait. After all. We got the money. So what the hell.// Max thought still not able to see anything.

She checked her pager. 4 hours and 5 minutes. But at least she was here with him. She managed to drop her backpack and leaned back at Logan, unable to twist around and face him. "This room is damn tiny", Max said trying again to move around. "Well", Logan said wrapping his arms around her waist, "it could be worse. You could be stuck here alone and I would be left waiting in the car. At least we're together", he said placing little kisses down her neck.

Max bent her head to the side giving him more skin to kiss. He kissed his way back up and she twisted her head backwards to reach his mouth. He kissed her passionately and tried to turn her around by twisting her hips. But the place was too tiny. He was pinned against the wall with his back, and Max was pinned against Logan with her back and with her front to the door. If only they could open the door a few inches for her to turn, but that was not even something to consider with two bad guys sitting in front of it.

"Stop twisting my hips Logan. I can't turn around. It's too damn small in here", Max complained while kissing him. She broke the kiss in frustration and leaned back on his broad chest and frowned, "This is just great. We're stuck in here – literally." Logan just kissed her on the back of her head and went back to playing.

His hands traveled down her arms and then back up. He gently pushed her hair aside and kissed her neck while massaging her shoulders. Max closed her eyes and let out a breath of contentment, still leaning into his chest. Max figured they would just kill the time with kissing and caressing but her eyes flew open with surprise and shock when he lowered his hands to cup her breasts. He was still kissing her neck and nibbling at her ear – so lost in the moment and the incredible taste of Max – when he heard her ask what the hell he was doing.

"Well Max", he answered amused still kissing her neck, "I thought we make the best out of this situation." Thinking he explained everything he had to he let his hands travel further down only to slide up slowly again under her shirt. He softly stroke her stomach and could feel her muscles tighten at his touch. He wanted to move further up but suddenly Max grabbed his wrist and pulled his hands out of her shirt. "Making the best out of it???" Max asked in disbelief.

"Logan, how can you possibly think about making out here while 2 gangsters siting out there ready to kill us in an instant when they know somebody's here? I figured your mind works slightly different from all the other ordinary male minds, but I guess I was wrong."

"Well I'm sorry Max. It's not that all this is entirely my fault. You're the one who is pressing against me. And it's not my ordinary male's mind. It's just physics. Guys just can't hide it as well as you girls can", Logan stated. Amused but also offensive.

"Anyways. Let's just wait here until they're gone. We have the 25 G and that's all that counts." Max said even though the idea of making out in the storage room while gangsters were siting in front of them was very much turning her on – added to it that Logans erection kept poking her in her lower back it almost made it irresistible not to get it on here and now. //But still. Even if we keep on doing this. This place is too "fucking" small.....well....too small to fuck....anyway. The position we're in makes it impossible to do anything about it. ....................................................well, not anything.....................but nooooo. That's not what I wanted our first time to be like. Anal in a storage room. No really not. ................................Wonder if Logan would even be up for it. I can feel that he's up. But would he be up for this.................not saying that I'm up for this.// Max thought trying to convince herself that this really wasn't an option – just a possibility – just meant technically. She didn't realize that she was slowly circling her hips against the poking arousal while thinking about the technical details of their position.

Logan felt her hips circle lightly and he swallowed hard. He would certainly not make another move considering how she just barked at him. But if she doesn't stop right now................//God help me. Send that damn blood back up in my head instead of down in my soon to explode dick. God damn it Max stop doing that circling. Think......think. Ok. ...............blood, guts, guts spilling out, Alec, Normal, Sketchy............help it already. That doesn't work. Down boy. Come on little Logan listen – down. ..........Oh, I got it. Joshua. Dogboy getting it's freaks on with Annie. Blind Annie. Her dog watching. .....hm, maybe it's a female dog Annie has. Would leave lots of possibilities for Joshua there.....good that's working.... keep on thinking.// Logan tried everything to keep his composure and not fall all over Max. After trying everything – the Joshua thing seemed to work – leaving him thinking if he could ever function again. But still. It worked. He wasn't thinking about screwing Max and his arousal took a downward trend.

While Logan was busy with working on his downward trend, Max noticed that her hips were cycling and while she was fighting her inner self to cut it out already she felt Logans erection fade. //What the hell. I'm circling my hips over his stiffy and he goes down???// Max wondered feeling a little hurt but still - they were stuck here god knew how long so she just might bring that up. "What's the matter Logan. Lost interest or what happened", Max said while pressing harder against him. Ok, she wanted him to stop given the givens, but she didn't expect that and now she felt challenged.

"What the hell do you mean?", Logan asked slightly irritated. Wasn't that exactly what she wanted? "You asked me to back off. Now I back off and you're pissed? Talking about weird and twisted and oh so ordinary minds, huh."

Max didn't know what to reply without contradict her earlier speech. "Logan. I didn't ask you to back off because I wasn't in the mood to. I asked you to back off because it's just not the right place and the right time", Max answered trying not to blow him off completely by her irrational behavior and added seductively, "neither we're in a possible position to do anything." That said she leaned closer into him pressing her mid-section so delicately over his.

//Alert. Alert. Alert.// Logan thought feeling his blood rushing back down again. //Did she just invite me do go on. Did she just suggested to .............no. She couldn't have. Did she really want me to take her here and now............anally. ....No. She couldn't have. Or could she???...// He thought back and forth until Max interrupted him after feeling his strong evidence of arousal again on her lower back.

"Well hello Mr. Cale. Now we're talking", Max purred circling her hips hard against his painfully hard cock. She didn't care anymore about what was the right place or the right time. With the life they were leading there would maybe never be the right time or place. She screwed it once by being so damn reasonable. She wouldn't do that mistake again. Even though this was an unusual first time – hell, what was so usual and normal in their day to day life. She figured she just had to go for it – enjoy the moment. Only god knew if there would be another chance just like that.

After hearing her purring and feeling her circling her hips Logan was lost. That was more than an invitation. It was a statement. A demand. She wanted him to take her and he'd be damned to let that invitation turned down by some rational thoughts. He quickly went back kissing her neck. He slid down her jacket and turned to play with her breasts under her shirt. She twisted her neck to kiss him. He hungry kissed her. A kiss full of urgency. His hands traveled down to undo her jeans button and slowly tear down her zipper. As she didn't protest he kissed her feverishly. //No doubt. This was an invitation indeed. She really wants it now// he thought.

But before he could go on any further he had to just get one thing out – just to tease her and let her know that speaking of ordinary minds - they both had them – just ordinary and animalistic minds. "Well Max", he said licking down her neck, "I thought after the experience with Joshua the other day – doggy style was the last thing you'd ever have on your mind." Logan said with a wide grin and let his hands dive into her jeans.

AN: Ok. Sorry guys. I have to leave you hanging right here. But I promise it'll go on. Maybe not just the way you expect it to but still. Anyway I gotta blaze now. Hope you all review. That would really keep me going. So I'll post the next Chapter as soon as possible if you want some more. Promise that I will take some more time for the next one to come. And by the way. Hope you all read "The Bet". Finally a very great M/L fic. If you haven't go and do so. It is really fun. Take care.
