AN: here is chapter two thanks for the reviews the more reviews I get the faster I write.


Max for the first time in a long time not only felt tired enough, but safe enough to let herself indulge in sleeping as well. But it didn't last for long, she was up again less then two hours later. She looked up at the man holding her, marvelinging at how he looked. He was still pale and had the beads of sweat on his forehead from the fever, but what she was marveling at was that he also no appeared to be peaceful, carefree, happy, the complete opposite of how he looked when he was sleeping before. She didn't want to wake his so she just laid there for a while watching his chest rise and fall, but her body would not stand for her being still so long. She carefully stretched out her body without too much disruption of the sleeping man. She noticed that when she was done he pulled her a little closer, a tiny bit tighter. This amused her so she decided to test it out a little. She shifted a tiny bit away and was pulled back by his arm around her waist. She did it again and this time he pulled her back and connected his arms behind her so she couldn't get away, all in his sleep. She smirked loving how reacted to her even when not conscious. So she decided to play with this a little more 'how else will he react' she thought as she lifted her hand and gently touched his cheek. He moved his cheek into her hand. she loved the warmth that came from him, the feel of that soft stubble on his cheeks. She followed that down his jaw line with her fingers down to his sexy chin and up to his sexier lips. She moved her hand away and looked up to see if he was waking. His body had been responding in small ways but she was pretty sure that he was still in a pretty deep sleep. So she slowly leaned up and placed a whisper of a kiss on his lips. "I love you Logan." she murmured faintly. She then settled back down and let herself go back to sleep. But the kiss had been enough to wake Logan.
Logan was having this wonderful dream where he and Max were on a date together like two normal people. then they were back at his penthouse afterwards having a drink cuddling on his couch. It was one of those dreams in which you know your dreaming but it is so wonderful and perfect that you don't care. Then they were kissing... and then it wasn't a dream. He was awake, not very awake, not enough to do anything not even open his eyes but he felt Max's lips upon his and he drank deeply of the experience. Her body pressed tight against his. Her scent invading his body. The softness of her lips. All to quickly it was over and sleep began to claim him again. But before disappearing from this consciousness completely he thought he heard something wonderful "I love you Logan."

Logan woke up the next morning to Max gently shaking him awake again. "Come on you need to take more of this cold medicine and you should get something to eat."

"Good morning to you too." Logan replied with a scratchy voice.

"Good morning" She said with a small smile, "How are you feeling?"

"Much better... thank you for all of this you have no idea what it means to me." Logan replied sincerely

"It's not a problem it's just some cold medicine and chicken soup." Max downplayed what she was doing, I mean he would do the same for her anyway right.

"Yeah thanks for that too." He replied

"Too? What were you thanking me for."
"Staying with me, sleeping next to me, being there for me, keeping me from being alone..."

"Ok ok I get it, your welcome." She interrupted him

"Wait I have one, well two more you really need to hear them." Logan knew if he didn't speak now he would chicken out.

"Ok what else did you want to thank me for?"

"Making me want to live because you made it impossible for me to lose you... and making it so wonderful for me to be in love with you." With those last two thank you's Max didn't know what to say your welcome, I love you too, it has been my pleasure, marry me, any of these would have been great to say but she couldn't form the words. So she leaned down and kissed him. The kiss was so full of love, passion, and hunger for the taste of each other, but somehow maintained the softness of the not so secret kiss last night. When they finally separated a few minuets later so Logan could breathe Max managed to find some words to try to convey her feelings towards him.

"Logan I didn't believe in love until I met you. I love you so much. I just want to hold you for the rest of my life, I don't want to ever let you go."

"Then don't" Came the simple solution out of Logan's mouth. This was followed by a few more minutes of kissing. "You have no idea how long I have wanted to tell you that."

"Me too, I have been in love with you since I met you that first night, It took me like a month to realize it and until last night to admit it though." She said while placing gentle little kisses along his neck.

"So now what Max, we have finally admitted it. Where do we go from here?" Logan regretted saying it Max might be opening up but he knew thoughts of the future making plans all these things scared her, why make plans you might not be able to keep. Why have hope if you know it will just be crushed.

"I don't know about way in the future, I don't have a clue what is going to happen, all I know is that I want to spend it with you..." Max's reply surprised Logan but it was a wonderful surprise, and it got even better when she continued. "But right now I think we are in the perfect place for what I have in mind." Max said with a sly grin looking around the bed they were on then looking back at Logan and kissing him with months of pent up passion.
