Chapter 5 - Dessert

Max crept back a few steps, turned the bathroom doorhandle and released it loudly, conscious that she was alerting Logan to her return. He looked up quickly at the sound and watched her movements in amazement as she went into the kitchen and fetched the box into the lounge that she had brought with her and a fork.

"Dessert," she announced with a flourish and unwound the bronze sequin scarf from around her neck as she seated herself so close that she was virtually sat on Logan's lap. He felt his temperature rise at the prospect of such close proximity and looked at her questioningly. "It's a surprise. You have to guess what it is." She leaned over and removed Logan's glasses, carefully placing them on the table, and then tied her scarf over his eyes as a blindfold. She opened the box and took a forkful of chocolate cake. "Open," she demanded and Logan complied by opening his mouth. Max carefully laid the piece of cake on his tongue and watched in fascination as his lips closed around the fork. She gently removed the fork and watched his lips curve into a slow smile as the chocolate began to melt.

Logan knew from experience that seduction and food were close allies, which was why he was always secretly pleased when Max demanded he cook for her. 'I wonder if she knows chocolate is an aphrodisiac?' he idly wondered to himself as he swallowed. Max loaded another chunk of cake on the fork and teased his lips with the light sponge. Logan willingly opened his mouth again and allowed Max to feed him a second bite.

Logan could feel a smudge of chocolate on his lip, but before he could lick it away with his tongue, he became very aware of Max's warm breath on his face, "Allow me" was her sultry comment and he gave in to the feel of Max.

She saw the pulse in his neck quicken as she leaned in and smiled as she ran her tongue across his bottom lip to remove the chocolate. His lips parted with an involuntary gasp and Max ignored to screaming protests in her head and kissed him. He tasted of chocolate and something that was just so deliciously Logan that Max was immediately invaded by thoughts of exactly what else other parts of his body would taste like.

Logan was almost too shocked to respond and just as his brain started to function enough to illicit a response he felt Max lean back and break the kiss. 'Um... Wow... Is Max really... Wow...'

The kiss lasted for only a moment. Max leaned back and bit her lip. 'Oh God. I shouldn't have done that.' Logan just sat there, eyes still bound, unmoving. 'He hated it. He hates me. What have I done?'

"Max" Logan whispered as his fingertips lightly touched the place where Max's lips had been.

"Sorry." she leaned back slightly and shook her head as she looked down at the floor.

"Max…" Logan removed the blindfold and leaned forward, picked up his glasses and slid them back on his nose to survey the woman beside him.

"I shouldn't have..." Max looked almost on the verge of tears, the bravado which was so prominant only minutes ago having dissapated so quickly.

"Shouldn't have what?" He studied Max as she blinked rapidly and took a huge gulp of air before she gave her reply.

"I shouldn't have kissed you." Her shoulders slumped and she did not dare to meet his gaze. Logan shook his head then reached out a hand. He cupped Max's chin in his palm and turned her head so that she was forced to look at him.

"Wrong answer Max," Logan's voice was low as he leaned towards her, "You shouldn't have stopped."
