Play-Along: Chapter 3

The next morning at Jampony, Normal was hollering as usual, "Bip, bip, bip! Get a move on, you reprobates!"

He caught OC's eyes, "Hey, where's Missy-Miss?"

OC rolled her eyes, "My boo have some female problem that you don't know nothing about. She won't be it in today,"

Alec heard OC's as he entered Jampony, late as usual. But at least this time he had someone to blame – Max. Max and her uncharacteristic behaviour yesterday.

"Why can't you all be like Golden Boy here, huh? Now him – he's someone with potential. Not like you lot of losers," Normal complained, pushing his spectacles up his nose.

"Hey, buddy! What's up," Alec clasped Normal's hand.

"Missy-Miss didn't turn up again," Normal grumbled, shaking his head and walking away.

OC walked up o Alec, pinning him with her no-nonsense stare, "What's up with you and my boo?"

Alec shrugged, "Who knows?"

"You better not let Original Cindy know that you're playing her boo. What with the kiss and all. Or I'll smack your ass!"

"Listen, OC. I have no idea what's going on in that head of hers, alright. And I didn't do anything," Alec said, irritated. Why is it he always get blamed for everything that goes sideways, he wondered.

OC looked at him searchingly with knowing eyes, and said "Whatever. You better treat her right, you hear me?"

Alec turned his eyes heavenwards… I give up.

………………………..

Max closed her eyes as he trailed kisses from her cheek to her ears, nipping at her smooth skin along the way. He kissed his way across her face, bypassing her lips to the other ear.

"Kiss me…" Max pleaded, offering her lips to him. He chuckled, and shook his head.

"Patience…" he said, his lips moving over her pulse point, sliding his hands up her top over her ribs.

Max's breath hitched in her throat. Her hands followed his lead. She pressed her palm against his hard pectorals, sighing in appreciation as she felt the warm, hard muscles. His groan of pleasure aroused her even more.

"Max… I want you" he rasped against her throat, grabbing her hand and rubbing his rough thumb over her wrist. It was incredibly erotic, and they were still fully dressed.

"Alec…"

thump-thump-thump

"Alec…?" Max looked at him in confusion. Why was she making out with Alec?

Then suddenly, Max bolted upright in her bed, gasping for breath. Realisation dawned in her eyes.

"Heat dreams.." she groaned desperately. She thought about all the push-ups and the cold showers she was going to need to have for the rest of the day. She could not even turn up to work. With the number of males in Jampony, it was not advisable anyway.

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP

Damn, did OC forget her keys? Max thought. She jumped out of her bed and padded across to the door, reaching out a hand to the knob.

"OC… What would you have done if I am out, huh?" Max said with a grin, opening the door.

Alec stood at the door, looking at her, entranced. There was this warm, sultry scent coming from her. He breathed in and felt himself grew warm. His mind clouded over.

"Hi, Max" Alec greeted her softly, not realising he sounded predatory.

Uh-oh, this not good, she thought briefly. She could see the hungry expression in his eyes. Then, Hmm… Alec does look kinda tasty… She let her eyes travel up and down his body, lingering longer on strategic points of interest. She could feel herself flush with desire. She sniffed the air, smelling testosterone, and said seductively, "Alec… Wanna come in?" His scent was making her secrete more pheromones.

Alec gulped, his eyes glazing over as his senses were assaulted by more of her pheromones. He could feel his skin tingling, and his hands itching to grab her. He forcibly held them back from reaching out to her. Too late, he realised that she was in heat.

He stepped in, locking the door behind him while keeping his eyes locked on Max. She was wearing a tiny tank top and shorts. He could see the desire in her eyes. He reached out a hand to her as he stalked towards her.

Max saw him approach and took a step towards him. In a flash of momentary sanity, she thought, "Max, what do you think you are doing? This is ALEC, for goodness's sake. He is your friend! The perpetual pain in your ass!" she stopped. Then another voice, "No…no…no… Alec is your boy. He's hot. He's strong. And he's HERE. Don't be stupid, girl. You heard me, Max! Scratch your itch!" She took another step and launched herself at him, wrapping her legs around his hips.

Alec grinned as Max latched to him, his hands finding their way to her rounded ass. His eyes sought hers as he caught her lips in a hungry kiss. She started rubbing herself on him, moaning at the friction it caused between them. He hardened painfully.

It was his turn to groan, "Max…". He moved one hand up her arm to her shoulders, rubbing her soft, smooth skin. He whispered to her "You are beautiful, you know that?" gazing into her eyes, pupils dilated with arousal.

Max ran one hand under his shirt, feeling the ripples of his muscles. Max touched him, smiling in satisfaction as he gasped. She pressed her lips against his, nibbling his lips. In her excitement, she bit down hard.

The sudden sting on his lips jolted Alec from his haze. He sobered as he realised what they were doing. He couldn't do this, however much he wanted to. Their friendship was too important. He paused, taking a deep breath, "Max?"

"Hmm…?" she answered, not a pause in her torture of his neck. Which he was sure would leave very obvious marks for all to see for days.

"Max. Stop," he said, reluctantly pulling her arms away from him and detaching her legs from his hips. Immediately, he felt the loss of her warmth as she slid off the table in front of him, confusion and hunger evident in her eyes.

Alec quickly held his sleeve to his nose to keep from breathing too much of her pheromones. He grabbed a clean kitchen towel and held it under the tap. Suddenly a cold, wet towel landed on Max's face. Reality started to sink in again, realisation crossing her face. Alec watched as she struggled to gather herself together.

"Oh, shit! I'm so sorry Alec! Didn't mean to.." she backed quickly away from him, yanking her top up into place. She blushed.

He grinned, holding the damp towel to his nose, "No problem, Max. Its difficult, but I am quite willing to sacrifice myself for your pleasure,"

Max gaped, incredulous, "I can't believe you can joke at a time like this! Do you have any idea what could have happened? What we could have done?" she shrieked.

"Hey, Max… You hurt my feelings. I am not THAT bad? Let me think… I could have sworn that I actually managed to please you just now," Alec said, pretending to remember. As if he will ever forget, he thought in self mockery.

Max felt the heat rise as she remembered what they were doing, her body staring to release even more pheromones again in response. She groaned as she locked her eyes on his.

"Max…" Alec warned, his turn to back away now. Her pheromones were beginning to affect him again. He could feel himself harden. Max noticed it too.

Alec saw her luscious lips curve into a feline smile, and knew he was lost.
