(Thursday....)
"Why are you really here, Max?" he asked softly, raising his other hand to trail the tips of his fingers
down the inside of her captive forearm. He raised her hand to his lips to nip her fingertips with even
white teeth. "It's been a long time for us. Is this what you wanted?"
*******
Max shuddered again and moaned despite herself. Alec released her and rose, turning on a lamp as
he did so. The sudden flare of light made Max squint and raise her hand to shade her eyes. When she
opened them again he was standing directly in front of her, looking down at her impassively. He trailed
one of his hands across his bare chest, rubbing his thumb over his nipple, then down the expanse
of his ribs to play with the hair of his abdomen when it disappeared into the line of his jeans. Max
watched his hand avidly and she licked her lips. Alec tipped her face up to meet his eyes, and she saw
the dark knowledge there; that he knew exactly the effect he had on her and was using it ruthlessly.
"Is this what you want, Max?" he asked again, running his hand caressingly over the snug material of
the front of his pants.
Max closed her eyes. That this new, distant Alec was just as intoxicating as the one she was used to
was disturbing. "This wasn't what I had in mind. I wanted to help."
"Oh, you can help." Alec's voice was rich with amusement, and she heard the soft rustle of his jeans
as he moved a little closer. She could feel the heat of his body against her cheek, millimetres away.
When she breathed she could feel the puff of air reflect off the fabric. She could smell his scent
tantalizingly close. "Just take what you want."
Surely the chemistry between them would break down Alec's walls and let her back in. With that
thought, Max's resolve broke. She groaned faintly and leaned forward, closing the remaining space
between them.

Half an hour later, Max slowly returned to earth, relaxing one tight muscle at a time and running her
hands carressingly across Alec's shoulders. "Oh." she murmured,
satiated. "That was wonderful." He withdrew his hand and zipped her up, raising himself off of her hips.
She opened her eyes and looked up at him for the first time since he had knelt in front of her,
and recoiled. Alec was smiling at her, but his face was still. He looked completely unmoved, even
his breathing was still even and controlled. Only the extra fullness of his lower lip where she bit him
showed evidence of their activity, and as she stared he licked away the small drop of blood from it. His
eyes were as empty as a doll's, and Max knew that it was still 494 looking out at her from them. His
voice was smooth and amused as he nodded at her.
"Thanks for your help, Max. Stay as long as you'd like." Alec rose fluidly and grabbed his shirt off the
back of the armchair, pulling it on over his head and moving to draw on his shoes. Max felt the first
a burst of humiliation that he had played her senses so effortlessly.
"You bastard." she breathed.
He quirked his lips at her in response. "What did you expect? You wanted to help, and I gave you what you
wanted, Max. I even asked first, remember?"
She blushed, remembering her uninhibited rsponse to his invitation. The fact that he hadn't taken
anything for himself made it even worse. Anger surfaced, along with the
first stirrings of fear. What if she coudn't get him back?
Alec strode over to the door, pulling on his grey leather jacket as he went.
"Look, I've gotta go. But like I said, you're welcome to stay a while. Drink a beer, watch some TV." he
grinned at her tightly. "Maybe you can help me some more when I get back."
The door closed softly behind him.
