Warning: This chapter is strictly 'R' rated.

I'm warning you! Seriously!

Night had finally come, not that Alec was complaining; actually his day had gone much to his liking. He and Max had played newly weds all day, even produced a first couple quarrel, only to burst into laughter when it was all over. But he just couldn't wait to see exactly what would happen on their last night together, and to his surprise Max seemed a little impatient as well.

Upon entering their hotel suite, Alec sighed in relief, plummeting down on the large bed and closing his eyes, the corners of his lips tugging in a small smile. At first he was a bit startled at hearing a loud thump and then he relaxed when he realized Max had taken the plunge onto the heavenly mattress as well.

"To think that having fun is more exhausting then doing recons," Max chuckled, closing her eyes just the same.

Alec yawned in obvious agreement. "That was quite a show we put on Mrs. Cage, don't you agree?"

She giggled in response, only to inwardly groan, did I just…giggle? "What do you mean a show 'we' put on, I was the one doing all the work."

Did Max just…giggle? He opened his eyes, and said, "How dare you take credit for my great acting skills."

"Oh, acting? Is that what you call what you did back there?" she rolled her eyes, sarcasm dripping from each word.

He chuckled, "it's so like you to take credit for everything."

She scrunched up her nose, causing a crease in her forehead. "You're so lucky I don't kick your 'golden' ass for that."

"Maxie," he sighed playfully, "this obsession with my ass has to stop, at first it was amusing, then it was strange and now I'm just plain old scared."

She glared before opening her mouth to respond and closing it with a second thought.

"Suppose I go to the police," he continued, wiggling his eyebrows, "do you think that I could get a restraining order?"

Her response to that question hit Alec hard- literally. 'Thump'

"Oh, you want a pillow fight?" He narrowed his eyes, rubbing his head with his hand that wasn't occupied with a pillow.

She bit her lip, trying her hardest to suppress her laughter, but to her amusement failed. "You're a baby, aren't you suppose to…"

T-H-U-M-P

Her lips curved into a frown, and she muttered something along the lines of 'I'm going to kill you' as Alec smiled with prevail.

They chased each other around the room like that for a while, before Alec successfully tackled her onto the bad, pinning her arms above her head. He lay over her, his legs holding her legs down and his face only inches away from her own. "Now Maxie," he whispered in her ear, "what did you so unjust-fully call me earlier?"

She ignored the sets of tingles that flooded her body, and instead took this opportunity to flip him over so that she was on top, "A baby," she smiled down at him.

He sighed in defeat, and said, "Okay, you win."

"I was hoping you would say…"

FLIP

"Okay," she whined, "this is going to last for hours."

"Not if you give up," he offered, staring down at her.

"In your dreams," she spit back, a glare crossing her eyes.

"Every night," he smirked, and somehow managed to get closer to her if that was physically possible.

They both seemed to ignore the fact that the position was really sensual.

After the laughter and the glares subdued, silence fell upon the two transgenic.

Alec's expression somehow changed, and he freed one of her hands only to bring his up to the side of her face. "You're beautiful, you know that Max?" he whispered, his eyes never leaving hers.

She smiled, "well Manticore did do one thing right," she nodded up at him, "you aren't too bad looking your self."

His face remained serious, as if paying no attention to her remark. He started to lean in, almost unconsciously, as his eyes glanced over her full lips.

She knew what he was planning to do, but as much as she was telling herself to push him away, she didn't.

As their lips met a fire lit inside of her, and it was the most fueled kiss Max had ever felt in her life. She opened her mouth, granting Alec the access he requested as he slid his tongue across her bottom lip. She moaned into his mouth, wrapping her arms around his neck and deepening the kiss.

Alec almost lost himself in the passion, and found himself groaning as Max rubbed against him. She was slowly but surely torturing him with her seductive movements, and if it wasn't for his self restraint he would have ripped off her clothes by now.

Max let a small moan escape her lips before gathering all the strength she had left in her body and pushing him off of her. She heard a successful 'thump' as he hit the floor, and winced.

"I'm…I'm sorry," she whispered, and looked away.

He ran his fingers through his hair, swallowing the mass that formed in his throat. "No, I'm sorry…I wasn't thinking."

Max frowned slightly, knowing he was covering up; "it's not your fault."

He shook his head, anger slipping through his body. "No, it's not," his tone was soft, but his words cold.

Max watched in disbelief as he grabbed some fresh boxers out of his bag and walked into the bathroom. Dropping herself down on the bed as she heard the door slam, she closed her eyes and cursed inwardly.

---------------------------------

A long hour later Max heard the bathroom door open slowly. In the time that he had showered she had put on fresh pajamas, shut the lights off, and hopped in bed.

Figuring she was sleeping, Alec slid into bed beside her, sure not to touch her at all. He turned his body so that he wasn't facing her and closed his eyes.

She pursed her lips together, and watched his breathing steady. After taking in a deep breath, she whispered, "Alec," softly.

He rolled his eyes, turning around to face her. "Max I said it was okay…" he started.

Max quickly placed her index finger over his lips, only to remove it and kiss his quickly. "Only for tonight?" she offered.

Alec looked at her, at first with confusion, but then gave a soft nod. "Only for tonight," he said before leaning in and kissing her.

She ran her right hand up his bare chest, and smiled in satisfaction. He positioned himself on top of her, nipping and sucking in various areas of her neck, causing her to moan in pleasure. He stopped, brought his attention to her chest, and swiftly unclipped her bra. Bringing one of her nipples in his mouth, he nibbled gently, and received a very happy response from her. He greedily ran his hands over her body, sucking, blowing, kissing and teasing everywhere; if they were to only have one night, he would make it worthwhile.

She whimpered as he slid inside of her, filling her empty space completely. He groaned, biting his lip as he felt her warmth around him. Not once did they break eye contact, and Alec continued to thrust inside of her. In-out-in-out-in-out

The harder he pushed the louder she moaned, and to Alec hearing her pleads was heaven. She was screaming, whimpering, and catching his lips every chance she got. He felt himself starting to climax, and by the shake in her body he knew she was as well, so after his last thrust he slowed down. He slowly moved inside of her, and not once did he miss his name escaping her lips in a beautiful song.

It was over, and as he closed his eyes, leaning his forehead against hers he smiled wearily. And as he opened his eyes, much to his surprise she was smiling right back at him, with a content expression on her face. He rolled over; detaching their body's and reached a finger to her face to brush away the hair that had fallen upon it. She took his hand, placed a small kiss on his finger and smiled. He remembered what she had said 'one night' and so with that information, he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her, much like the night before.
