Spoilers: This is the fifth story in my series – if you haven't read any of my work before, you'd be best off going back to read and understand. The first story was Shattered Trusts and Whispered Confessions. The second is Remembering to Forget, the third is Events That Lead To Greatness. The most recent is the fourth story called the Longest Day (which was basically just a wrap up of some confusing things I had to sort out from previous works). This series is set after Hello Goodbye but does reveal spoilers from the rest of the season, as I incorporate it into the story.
Disclaimer: Ideas are mine based on the brilliant work of the Dark Angel team – so don't sue me! I wish I owned Alec, but I don't. So I have to settle for writing fiction about him.
Authors Note: Just a general shout out thanks to all the great readers who have been reviewing my work and totally keeping me motivated. If it weren't for you guys I wouldn't be writing this stuff. I am trying out a new style of writing in this one; let me know what you guys think.
Have fun and remember to review!

CHAPTER SIXPanic.
It was the only thing registering in Alec's mind as he snapped awake, his eyes darting back and forth, before falling onto Max's serenely beautiful face.
He burrowed his head in her hair as she snuggled deeper into his arms, rolling over so that her breasts further pushed against him, her hands unconsciously tracing the contours of his body.
*What did I let happen?*
The night's events came back in a flash, the moans, the bodily contact. He had promised himself he would never go back and he had broken his own word to himself.
*What do I do now?*
Her hands on him were driving him wild and he didn't know what he was supposed to do. he knew that as soon as her eyes were open, she'd get up and leave – all she'd wanted was sex and he'd given her that,
*And then some*
He thought smirking to himself.
Alec closed his eyes, pulling her even closer to him, realising that he was still inside her – they must've collapsed and drifted into sleep, they had been at it for hours last night. The last thing he remembered was the sun coming up. Max gave a small moan and her eyelids fluttered, causing Alec's heart to jump a mile a minute. Finally, her eyes opened and he gave a strangled yelp,
"Morning."
"Hey..."
Her eyebrows rose slightly as she gave a forced smile,
"Some night last night huh?"
"You asked for it."
"I guess I did."
Max met his eyes and looked away quickly, sitting up and clutching the bed sheet against her naked body,
"I think I'll go have a shower."
"Uh, okay. Guess I should go to work."
"We can go in together."
"You'll put me in Normal's bad books – you're always late!"
"Well I have a good excuse this time."
"Yeah, I guess you do – but I still better go."
He swivelled his body around, his back facing her as he stood up and moved to his drawers, pulling out some boxers. Max cocked her head, admiring his rear appreciatively, diverting her gaze after he covered himself and turned around.
"Well I guess I'm off. Try not to put any holes in my walls Maxie."
Her face fell, confused and she covered it with a smirk that would've been torn from a page in his book – it would've been better suited to him too,
"So, same time tonight?"
He missed the nervousness in her voice, instead reverting to what was always referred to as primal tactics.
Panic.
Again.
He needed to be so careful with what he said – he knew she was using him for sex, but hey, anytime with Max was time with Max. It was valuable. Pulling on a shirt, his green eyes glinted,
"My place or yours?"

"I just don't know OC..."
"Well suga, you asked your boy?"
"That's what I'm talking about – I don't know if he's my boy."
Original Cindy took a sip of her beer, studying her anxious friend's face,
"Max honey, I thought you and Alec had been busy doin the wild thing every night for the past month."
"We have. But that's as far as it goes. Incredible mindless sex, you don't know how amazing it is. But no emotions are coming into play – I think that's how he wants it."
"All guys want it that way baby-girl."
"I know."
"Can you handle that boo?"
"I just want to be with him. If this is all I can get – then so be it."
Max stopped talking as she sensed people approaching them, her gaze intent on OC as she sipped her beer again,
"Don't look now girl, but here comes your boy now."
Sketchy and Alec approached the girls in their usual manner, the scruffy human sitting down next to Cindy, before jumping up immediately announcing his need for beer. Max glanced up at Alec smiling gently at him, her eyes lost in his,
"Hi."
"Hi."
He lowered his voice to an unintentionally seductive rumble, before continuing,
"You wanna get out of here? Go back to our place – our old place that is. I have put Mole in charge tonight so we don't have to go back to TC for once."
"Sure. Let me just go to the toilet."
She excused herself quickly and OC looked up at Alec expectantly,
"Lay it on me boo"
"You're too good at this comforting the friend in need dealio."
Alec cleared his voice softly, his eyes diverting away from hers,
"Has she uh... she said anything about me – about her and me?"
OC snorted into her drink loudly,
"Like I'm gonna tell you that. What I will tell you is you gotta talk to her coz she's just as confused as you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Talk to her is all."
"Talking's not my strongest suit."
"Make it. Or you're gonna lose her – I know you ain't in it just for the sex."
"No. I'm not the one in it for the sex."
His true meaning was undeciphered by Original Cindy, who had redirected her attention to a busty blonde at the bar who was batting her eyelids back and sizing the darker girl up.
Max returned to the table, her face flushed and eyes eager. Alec draped an arm around her shoulder,
"Ready?"
"Of course."

Who wouldn't want a casual thing with Alec or Jensen or Ben...
Agh, crackle goes my keyboard with the flood of drool.
