NOT FADE AWAY
Disclaimer: M-X, Don't Own Them. Enjoy!
Hey all! I apologize if you can't see my reviews. There has been a serious delay with the uploads. I've written fanfiction.net and am awaiting a response from them. When I can FINALLY get them, I will reply to you all! Otherwise, send me an e-mail till then (Let me know if you're having upload issues as well).
I just saw Divided Loyalties and 'once again' my Lexa/ Brennan suspicions have been sparked- especially after that particular scene in the bar. So, this chapter is based on that.
IT HAD TO HAPPEN
She never though she'd kiss Sparky again.
Ever!
Even now as Lexa paced her room, she was thankful for two things: Jesse didn't see it and Shalimar didn't know. Both facts were keeping her alive. It had mostly been a dare. From the moment she walked in, it had to look real and kissing the man she still blamed for her brother's death wasn't exactly high on her to- do list.
Brennan's breaking contact only angered the Dominion and made her job harder. And that only left her with one option - a face to face.
But somehow face to face, turned into a face to face, put me on the counter, and I'll lock you in 'tease'. Between swapping information - and tongues- the two blatantly dared each other to keep going. His hands on her legs, her lips on his neck- yep, Shalimar would have killed her.
If anything, it was convincing. His friend, Cole, was choking with laughter. And while her heart still held anger, large hands on her thighs and overbearing body heat had left her with something -unsettling. To say the least.
Shit! She thought. This only made her situation worse. It was one thing for her to sleep with Blake - and have Jesse know about it. But Brennan was his friend, his brother, and an expert womanizer. All angles of this made her look like the punk. She cringed at the thought of deep blue eyes catching them kissing much more than was necessary. Poor Jesse, she exhaled. Why did he have to be so...sweet? If she could hate him it wouldn't matter. But it so mattered.
It SO mattered.
Again, she cursed under her breath. If the blonde duo didn't know now, then eventually they would. Brennan was so wrapped up in concern for his friend, she knew he'd eventually tell Shalimar. Then she'd tell her brother- all in protection. Right about then, the word 'shit' seemed to stick in Lexa's head.
Her ears finally focused on the knocking outside the door. "Go away." The brunette snapped.
"We need to talk." That voice made her cringe.
Well, she exhaled before heading to the door. Here we go.
Brennan stood with hands buried deep into his pockets as he slid into her room. "I didn't think you were still up." He admitted.
Lexa made sure to sit a distance from him, in fact she sat at her desk while he continued to stand. "What do you want?"
The dark man exhaled. Obviously, this hadn't been the first thing on his mind. After seeing Cole into the underground, the elemental grew internal for awhile. Finally, his eyes looked at the newest member of Mutant X causing Lexa to squirm. This would be that damned conversation. "About what happened in the bar..."
"What about it." She snapped.
The look of reason once crossing his face now replaced with a knowing smirk. "You've been kissing me a lot lately, Lex."
"Sorry, Sparky. Don't get your hopes up. It was all part of the show."
"Oh, I know...It WAS quite a show."
"Well it won't happen again."
"Funny," Brennan grinned. "I remember you saying that a few months ago in a certain casino."
"And I remember you getting in my way when I told you to back off." He knew she was referencing Leo more so than the mission. "Not much has change."
He sat down on her bed, watching the woman intently. "You're a bit of a control freak."
"I call it over-achieving."
His snickering only unsettled her more. "You definitely over did it."
"You put me up on the bar!"
"Yeah, and you put your legs around me" He smirked. "Never met someone who'd one up you, huh?"
The blue eyes rolled in sarcasm. "Actually I have, and they WERE worth my time."
That made him sit back. Reclining on his arms, dark eyes burned right through her. "I'm gonna say this one time, Lex. I won't be another Blake for you."
Her heart partially relaxed while a streak of anger formed. "I take it that means you're not telling Jesse."
"Or Shalimar."
"Well thank you for the condescending chit chat, but I have to get some sleep."
"Lex-"
"No, you listen Brennan! I told you that was a cover! We kissed because we had to and that's all."
"I'm not arguing. But you did more than you had to. You know Shal had been following me. What if she saw us? She already doubted my handling the mission. You and I kissing would have been the end."
"Yeah..." The brunette smirked. "For both of us." Again, the idea of hurting Jesse came to mind. Shit! She thought. Shit! Shit! Shit! "You can't say anything. If I was 'over doing it', all you had to do was push me away... Gee, I didn't see much of that happening."
"What can I say, I'm a straight man."
"Yeah, whatever." Lexa smirked. "'I'd like to see you tell Shalimar that and walk away."
Again, Brennan watched her, honestly trying to figure the woman out. "All I'm saying...Is you should keep your hands to yourself."
"This from the man who smacked me on the-" His grin told her not to keep going. "Just practice what you preach, Sparky."
"Yep, whatever. I'm keeping quiet cause I don't want Jess hurt -again. And I don't want either of us killed."
Lexa finally stood, stretching to pull her dark hair together. "Is that all, Captain?"
"Yeah... and the red wig was cute."
"Thanks," She smirked. "It goes with my whip and handcuffs. Now get out!"
She pushed the man back into the hallway, before slamming the door. While one crisis had been avoided, another was on its way. Somehow, Lexa had managed to find feelings for Brennan.
That word 'shit' was in her head all night long.
