She was in heat. And she was about to go crazy. She had to get out of the apartment. No. No. If she left the apartment, she'd end up having sex with some total stranger. As appealing as that sounded at the moment, she knew she'd regret it when she came to her senses. But even as she argued with herself, she was making her way to the door.

She ended up at Crash, although her memory of how she had gotten there was a little hazy. She walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. And who should be sitting on the stool next to her but Alec. Damn, he was looking good.

"Hey, Syl," he said with one of those lazy, self-satisfied smiles that she was finding strangely attractive at the moment. Really attractive.

She was feeling overwhelmed. Lots of people, namely lots of guys, namely Alec, all crowded into a really small area. And she wanted to jump all of them. This was not good.

//I have to get out of here.//

Easier said than done. There were a lot of guys on the way to the door. A lot. She gritted her teeth and gingerly made her way to the door, careful not to make any more body contact than absolutely necessary. Finally, she escaped and ran all the way back to her apartment.





Safely in her apartment, she paced back and forth, unable to do anything else. On her 80th trek across the kitchen, she turned and found herself face-to-face with Alec.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded, backing away.

He didn't answer. Instead, he said, "You're in heat."

"You noticed that one," she snapped. "So what? You came here looking to get laid? I don't think so."

Another of those cocky smiles.

"Oh, come on, don't tell me you don't want it."

"I don't," she told him, albeit with much effort.

Still smiling, he moved closer to her. Out of sheer obstinacy, she stayed where she was. Before she realized what was happening, he moved in and kissed her. She was only able to resist for a moment before her body responded for her, wrapping her arms around his neck and moving closer to press against him.

She pulled away from him and saw his eyes dark with desire. "I am so gonna kick your ass for this later," she informed him before roughly pulling his head back down to meet hers.

Owl's Notes: Sorry this is so short, but I *had* to get it out of my system. Me and my hormones, I'm tellin' ya. *sigh* Anyway, despite the length, or lack thereof, reviews would still be appreciated. And yes, Krit will be making an appearance eventually.
