Authors Note: This is the second chapter to my story and once again I would appreciate reviews and suggestions. I have a vague idea of where I'm going with this but I'd also like your input.


A Different World

Chapter 2

As Max sat, unable to move or react, the man casually approached her. He stood next her with his hand outstretched in her direction. "Would you like to dance?" He asked innocently but there was definitely something else underlying the statement, although Max couldn't pin it. Sure, it was definitely something sexual but there was still something else. She looked towards her friends who all urged her on.

"Sure." She smiled up at him and placed her hand in his as he led her to dance floor. She looked back at her friends who were all staring at her with wide grins. She rolled her eyes at them and turned back to face the man next to her. He looked down at her and smiled as he placed his hands on her waist and she her hands on his shoulders. They moved perfectly together, eyes locked on one another the entire. His gaze was so intense it was as if he looked right through her to what she was always hiding underneath. It unnerved her but it also excited her. She had never felt that before and it occurred to her that she didn't even no his name.

As if knowing what she was thinking he said, "I'm Alec. What's your name?"

"Max." She managed to choke out.

"I like that." He said his mouth perked in a half smile. "When I saw you I couldn't take my eyes off you. I had to meet you."

Max smiled at that. "Well whaddya think so far?" She asked playfully.

"Well, now that I've met you, I would definitely like to get to know you better."

"I'd like that." He replied, this time her mouth perked in a half smile. Suddenly the music changed to something up beat and Max's grin widened. The look on his face was priceless. It was as if he didn't know what to do next so she began to move and grind against him to the music. She brought his hands up around her once more and led him through the song. After a while he began to get the hang of it and was smiling again in response. "Fun, isn't it?" She asked him.

"I've never had this much fun before." He replied still smiling.

"Oh, well we're just gonna have to do something about that now aren't we?" She said getting more comfortable with him by the minute.

"I'd like that." His face suddenly became serious as he slowly leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers. He looked back to see her reaction but she just smiled. He took it as an approval and leaned in again this time with a little more force as she opened her mouth to allow him more access. His tongue slipped in immediately and began to massage against hers, tasting every part of the slick skin. Max couldn't believe what she was doing. She just met this guy and the only time she would be all over guy like this is if she were in heat and she was sure she wasn't. Although she was starting to get that tingling feeling in her lower extremities.

Her friends watched from across the room in disbelief. They looked at each other in worry and then back at the scene across from them. "She's not, you know, is she?" Angie asked not particularly at anyone but the two girls understood.

"No, she just got over that a few weeks ago and we still got a couple months before the mating game begins again." Kendra replied.

"Then what is up with that? Max kickin it with a guy she just met while not in heat just don't seem like her to me." Angie was still in disbelief and an incredulous look marred her pretty features.

"Maybe not, but she seems to be enjoying herself." Cindy stated as Max hands came up to grip the back of Alecs head.

"Whatever, I need a drink." Angie said as she stood up. A girl passing by knocked her on the side and she fell down across the table.

"Watch it bitch!" The girl screeched. Cindy and Kendra looked at each other and then back at Angie waiting for a reaction.

"What did you just call me?" Angie stated, murder in her eyes.

"I called you a bitch, but now I take it back. Yo mamas a bitch."

That did it. Angie launched herself at the girl knocking her to the ground. She straddled her and began laying punches into her face and body. "I'm gonna kill you bitch!" Angie screamed as she continued her assault. The girl could only lift her arms in defense and scream for help. Cindy and Kendra tried to pull her off but when Angie was mad she was incredibly unpleasant and incredibly strong. Suddenly everyone in the club were making their way to the fight. Max noticed the rush of people and when her eyes fell on the scene across the room she ran straight for it. She reached Angie and in one swift move had pulled Angie off the girl and restrained her by holding her from behind and locking her arms down.

"Calm down, come on. Just breathe." She whispered into Angie's ear, however she just continued to struggle. Max decided the best option was to take her outside so she did, hauling her up the stairs by force.
Once outside and a fair distance away from Crash Max let her go. She jerked away roughly and began punching a car window, her already bloody hand now pouring with her own blood. Max approached her cautiously and held her face firmly forcing Angie to look at her. She looked into Max's eyes and after a couple of second began weeping uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry Max. I'm so sorry. I tried. I really did try." Angie cried as she she slid down to the floor Max now embracing her friend.

"I know. It's okay sweetie. Everythings gonna be alright." Max comforted her. Kendra, Cindy and Alec watched, not sure what to do. "We have to get her home." Max stated. "I can't take her on my bike like this though."

"I can take her." Alec offered. "My car's down the block."

"Thank you." Max said with all sincerity showing on her beautiful features.

"I'll bring the car around." And with that he ran down the block to get his car.
