Summer Love

Ridin' in the drop top with the top down
Saw you switchin' lanes girl
Pull up to the red light, lookin' right
Come here, let me get your name girl
Tell me where you from, what you do, what you like
Let me pick your brain girl

The good thing about being on mission was you got the best toys to play with. And this time Manticore had chosen to give x5 494 a midnight blue Ducati motorcycle to move around in. The best part was that it was a reconnaissance mission, therefore he had a lot of time to enjoy the bike. If the lights would only change he would have been on his way to the hottest club in Seattle, Red Kryptonite, but the damned light didn't seem to want to change. Cleaning his sunglasses for what seemed like the fifteenth time he looked at the lights, still red.

The roar of a motorcycle caught his attention as another rider pulled up waiting for the lights to change. Chancing a look, he was a bit blown away to find that the owner of the Ninja Kawasaki was female, and a hot one at that. The tight low riding black pants that had holes up the side that ended at the thigh teased him with the sight of smooth caramel skin underneath. The way she was leaning made the back of her form fitting leather jacket ride up, revealing more of that enticingly smooth caramel skin. The first thing he noticed on her face, were the pink full lips that were begging for it from a mile away. He couldn't help bit his lip in obvious appreciation.

The beauty turn toward him with a smirk giving him a once over, and raising an eyebrow in appreciation as well. "Nice bike," she let out before turning her attention back on the lights.

"Yours isn't to bad either," he said over the impatient roar of her bike as she turned the handle a few times, itching to ride, "what's your name?" he asked his most charming smile in place. He knew that smile would always get the girls week in the knees

Turning her head back on him, a playful grin on her face she spoke, "wouldn't you like to know."

Playing hard to get, he noted and let out a chuckle. Normally, it would have been the time he let it go, but there was just something about this girl that made him not want to quit. Not only did he want her name, he wanted to know where she was from, what she does and what she liked. He wanted her and he knew it very well. As she cracked her neck from side to side, he couldn't help wonder how that caramel skin calling him tasted like, and he wouldn't rest until he found out.

Looking up at her face again he noticed the twinkle in her eye as she revved the bike a few times, looked at the lights then back at him with an eyebrow raised in challenge. Revving back he accepted the challenge, if she wanted to race then that was what he was going to give her.

Both kept there concentration on the lights as it gradually turn from red to orange. At that the both revved their bikes harder as they waited for the lights to change and for the race to begin. He couldn't help take a glance at her from the corner of his eye, mine. Smirking at that he returned his full attention to the lights, itching for them to turn green already.

Green. The sound of screeching tires, smell of burnt rubber and smoke filled the air as they both took off down the straight street at breakneck speed. It was a fact the they could race for at least 6 blocks before the light went to orange then finally red. They were neck on neck as they hit the last block before they had to stop, but somehow she managed to race in front of him and win.

What impressed him was when she drifted her bike until her side was facing his front, revving up her bike twice and gave him a wink that said 'I'll tell you next time' before racing left and out of sight.

And tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame girl
But let me show you 'round, let me take you out
Bet you we could we could have some fun girl
'Cause we can do it fast (fast), slow, whichever way you wanna run girl
But let me buy you drinks, better yet rings
Do it how you want it done girl
And who would've thought that you could be the one 'cause I

He'd raced after her but somehow she'd managed to vanish into thin air, So turning his bike around he heading to his original destination, Red Kryptonite. As expected with a hot spot, the lines were long and were all the way round the block, but the day he waited in line would be the day hell froze over. With all confidence in the world he walked to the front of the line like a highly known VIP, ignoring the dirty looks he got from the other revelers who were trying to get in.

Almost making it in, he was stopped by a beefy bouncer saucer for a hand, "to the back of the line," he ordered in a not-up-for-decision sort of way. Looking at the hand, he then looked up at the mans face a predatory smile on his face and dangerous glint in his eyes that promised bodily harm if he wasn't let through.

He could practically see the guys demeanor change from a challenge to fear before he stepped aside and let him through, "good boy," he mumbled clapping the bouncer friendlily.

The atmosphere in the club was electric, with loud music which he wasn't to cool with since his ears were ultra sensitive and gyrating bodies. As he made his way through the crowd he got his fair share of appreciative looks from both sexes which wasn't anything new. He knew he was good looking and people couldn't help themselves.

As usual he ordered as scotch and a bottle to be brought to him in the VIP lounge which he had worked his charm to get. Leaning back into the sofa of the private booth he scanned the crowd for any potential ladies but all he could think of was one, the daring brunette on the Ninja.

Pouring himself another round he scanned the crowd once again looking for a worthy lay for the night, when his eyes landed on her. At first he thought maybe the alcohol was taking effect or he was hallucinating, but after blinking a few time and she didn't disappear he couldn't help smile. Maybe all wasn't lost after all. His scotch forgotten he made his way out of the booth and into the crowd, utilizing stealth and his skills as a hunter to make his approach unnoticed. He wouldn't let her get away, this time and it seemed he'd succeeded in his intended approach as she remained leaned up against the bar, jacket shed to reveal a red vest that revealed all the right places. Leaning in he whispered, "next time you wanna play 'catch me if you can' might try and not get caught."

"Wow that only took you what two hours," she turned to face him looking at him with an amused smile.

She was quite petite and man did she have a slamming body to go with the extremely gorgeous face. Brown eyes shining with a dare. He could see plan for escape coming off her demeanor, but he was not letting her go anywhere. Not now that he'd found her again. Placing his hand on the bar on either side of her trapping her between him and the bar, "so you going to tell me your name," he asked once again in her ear making sure his breath tickled her neck.

"Does it really matter," she question, "we both know exactly what you want."

He was starting to like this girl, before it may have been attraction and pure lust, but now he actually liked her. Fiery personality, he liked that a lot. Laughing, he moved his head closer to her now exposed collar bone and shoulder, "i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who wants it," closing his eyes he took in her scent which like the rest of her was equally intoxicating; leather, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and something he was sure was all her.

"Fine," she half admitted and half denied she wanted him too, "if you beat me in a race then I'm all yours," making a bet that he would, of course, gladly take on.

Moving his attention to her face, he gaze rested on those pink lips once again, "what if you decide to do a runner again?" His face hovering close to hers, as he felt her gaze on his lips too.

"Well if you're daredevil enough to race, then I'm sure this is a chance you won't pass up," she said her voice husky. Then her brown eyes moving off his lips to his hazel greens, "but you gotta buy me a drink first."

He would definitely enjoy this completely. At the moment they were play by her rules but, by the end of the night she'd be playing by his rules.

I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E)

"Do you always make bets you just can't win," he asked as they walked into the elevator of the building where his temporary pad lay. He won the race way too easy making him question whether she had even tried to beat him. As the doors closed he stalked very slowly toward the brunette who was leisurely leaning on the back wall of the elevator.

She smiled at him with a slow seductive grin, "you should have been a gentleman and let a lady win," he eyes no leaving his for a second. He liked it a girl who can keep eye contant with out blushing or being the first to look away. Having her was definately going to be very enjoyable.

Trapping her once again against the back wall, he spoke, "I always play to win. That isn't a compromise," he whispered huskily into her ear before laying a tender kiss on her jaw.

She, in turn, responded by placing an open mouth kiss on his neck and taking a little nibble, "and I..." she whispered before pushing him away and changing positions, "like being in control," looking at him with a raised eyebrow, "no compromise," she smile feline-ly before taking his lower lip in her mouth and sucking it gently and seductively. "problem?" she asked as she took it in her teeth and pulled gently.

In a quick move that made her gasp in surprise, he grabbed her thighs and hiked her up making her wrap her legs round his waist, "we'll just see about that," he grinned before capturing her lips in a kiss and carrying her out of the opened lift.

Come on and lemme show you 'round
Let me take you out, bet you we could have some fun girl
'Cause we can dress it up, we can dress it down
Any way you want it done girl
Or we can stay home, talkin' on the phone
Rappin' 'til we see the sun girl
Do what I gotta do, just gotta show you that I'm the one girl

He saw her at the pool table with her friends, who were; a pretty African - American woman and a lanky looking guy, who was pretty bad at pool. After a long day of RECON-ing all he wanted to do was unwind with the brunette he just couldn't get out of his mind. As much as Red K was a 'kicking' joint, he like the crowd of Crash mellow and rowdy if it was possible.

It was a mystery to him why he always felt the need to make a sneak approach on her, but maybe he like it when she tensed then relax once he whispered in her ear. Bring his arms around her waist, as she waited for her Lanky male counterpart to take a shot, he grinned and kissed the exposed nape of her neck, "Miss me?" he asked moving his kiss to the crook of her neck as he awaited her answer.

"You really don't want the answer to that," was her reply as per usual, she relaxed into his arm as he practically felt a smile lighten her body.

He laughed feeling her tremble slightly as his breath tickled her neck gently, "how about we get out of here?" he asked kissing the spot behind her ear, while simultaneously using his thumb to rub the sensitive part of her hip she melted to. Of course she was going to protest as she usually did but comply almost immediately.

"I have a game to play," she replied, "maybe some other time."

The pretty female friend rolled her eyes and spoke, "boo jus' go, you beaten white boy's ass bad enough," somehow knowing the protest was part of Max's game. " 'sides Original Cindy has had enough of yo straight lovin'."

Even her friend was on his side, so grabbing the cue stick from her hands he placed it on the table, and led her away. "don't wait up," he told OC before they disappeared into the crowd.

Man he liked hearing her moan, and laugh in satisfaction at his ministrations. Quickly turning her round, he took her lips in a slow devouring hungry kiss, that involved tongue teeth and mouth that made her pull him closer and begging for more. But teasingly, he pulled away and asked against her pulse point, "so what do you want to do?"

"Last time I was here..." she pulled away from him and made her way toward the bathroom backward, so she could face him with that teasing smile of hers, "there was bath tub, and if memory serves me correct it was big enough to fit two," pulling off her top, she threw it to him, "wanna join me?" she asked in that usual way of hers that promised fun.

He smirked, "I'll need more convincing than that," biting his lips in anticipation of what she was going to do.

And in her usual unpredictable nature, she reach behind and unclasped her bra and slid it slowly down her arm. holding it up with a finger she threw it at his feet, "your loss," she smiled before entering the bathroom. It might have been crazy for him to think it or say it but the last 2 weeks had been spectacular and he just might be falling for the fiery brunette.

It didn't surprise him that they didn't do anything other than soak and tease each other, because for some reason it was more than mind blowing sex with them. Like the fact she revealed a few thing about herself as he gently massaged her tense tired shoulders.

Well I'mma freak you right, each and every night
I know how to do it insane girl
'Cause I can make it hot, make it stop
Make you wanna say my name girl
Come on baby please 'cause I'm on my knees
Can't get you off my brain girl
But who would've thought that you could be the one 'cause I

It had been a week of racing, play fighting and innocent fun with Max between carrying out his mission specifics. And he had to admit that he really liked it.

It had been almost half an hour of deep heated kissing, and it was obvious whether it was leading. But somehow it felt different from the other times they were together. It somehow felt, dare he say, special in someway and they hadn't even taken their clothes off yet.. As they broke for air, he felt her gently attack his neck with gentle nibbles, licks and kisses as one of his hands cascaded down her bare back, while the other trailed up her leg.

Abruptly stopping her ministrations, she sat up straddling him looking down at him with her brown eyes sparkling with something that made his heart beat faster. He still didn't let his eyes leave her as she reached behind and untied the back and neck strap throwing it on the floor. Biting her lip gently she broke in to a smile probably seeing he visibly gulp, because hey she did that to a man. Eye contact still intact, he sat up and pulled her closer . He needed her closer.

His hand shook slight, as he moved her hair off her shoulder.

"Your hand is shaking," she stated the obvious, and he didn't really know why his hand was shaking when they'd been together before. "your heart's racing," she whispered, placing a hand on his rapidly beating heart.

Finally able to, he spoke, "can't help it," lacking it's usual playfulness and taking an unsure and shy nature that definitely wasn't him. He was acting like a timid teenager on his first time. Lifting his arm up he let her take of his shirt and watched her eyes light up at the sight. "now were even," she whispered once again in his ear, as she gently pulled at his earlobe with her teeth with seduction and playfulness.

Play field has been leveled again, he grinned as he pulled her closer into him, and proceeded to taste the skin on her throat, and collar bone. At the sound of a gasp, he laughed gently against her skin. He wasn't surprised when she frowned, but he quickly soothed it by capturing her lips gently, but at her responses deepened to a devouring nature and changed there positions.

It didn't take to long for them to begin fumbling with each others zippers, Max ripping his by mistake but he wasn't complaining as he discarded them and she followed suit.

As he looked down at her, he said one simple word, "mine," as she moaned her eyes remained closed. Not knowing why not getting an answer disturbed him, he stopped, "mine," he growled low as soon as her eyes open from the cessation of movement. She whimpered in protest, but he remained adamant and unmoving, until he heard that one simple word, "yours," he commenced, "all yours."

I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E)
'Cause I can't wait to fall in love with you
You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E)

It was rare for her to go to sleep before him, but it gave him a chance to watch her and really see her. Her beauty when she was sleep was more arresting than when she was awake. Don't get him wrong, he liked the fiery and bitchy sides of her, in fact it's what he loved the most, but seeing her so vulnerable and gentle in his arms made in feel something else. Love. He felt love in the purest form and it scared him a little.

Touching her cheek gently he couldn't help smile tenderly when she let out a sigh and snuggled closer. She was his and only his, and man did he like that fact. Scouting down further he pulled her even closer, until she was half on top of him and drifted off to sleep with a smile.

The summer's over for the both of us
But that doesn't mean we should give up on love
You're the one I've been thinking of
And I knew the day I met you you'd be the one

It was betrayal, plan and simple. She hadn't told him she was a transgenic and worse still a damned 09er. Hate, that's what he felt, but the damned intense love he had grown to feel for her over the two months they'd know each other, just wouldn't let him completely hate her.

He'd avoided her as much as she'd avoided him, but his heart wouldn't let him let things stay like that. His search for her had finally ended here, on the Space Needle as he silently watched her looking out at the skyline. Brown locks blowing every with way in the wind.

"What do you want?" her voice cold and angry, not even turning around to acknowledge him.

Like hell I'm going to take it, not bothering to make his approach stealthily as it usual was, he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him, "what the hell do you think I want?"

Narrowing her eyes dangerously, she wretched her arm from his grasp, "like all blonde's you catch on slow. I don't care what you want. Leave." she spat at him before turning to face the skyline once again.

"Public property," he replied his cockiness laced with anger. Why couldn't he just leave and forget her? she was a traitor and yet here he was.

Seeing her tense, he smiled, "look smart ass I don't think you want to take a flying leap off here 'cause its a long way down. Leave." she said in a control voice.

"I like living dangerously," he said stepping closer.

He could practically see her roll her eyes even if she wasn't facing him, " I don't think you understand the concept here. If you fall off you won't be living anymore," she drawled, "you'd be dead."

"You don't have it in you Maxie," he whispered mockingly in her ear, not really knowing why he wanted to rile her up. It's as if his mouth couldn't help it.

she visibly shivered at that which he couldn't help smirk to, "don't push me," she hissed.

"Go ahead push me off I dare you," he mocked again, making her fume and for a second, he thought she was really going to carry out his dare, but she just pushed him back and walked past him.

"GO to hell," but before she could get too far her blurred trapping her against the wall and twisting her around to face him.

He didn't even know what the hell was wrong with him when he was around her, "I hate you." growled holding her protesting body firmly against the wall.

"Feeling's mutual!" she hissed back her brown eyes blazing with anger and something else he just couldn't place. But yet again his damn brain went off line and he did something contrary to what he really wanted to do, he leaned in quick and fast, capturing her mouth in a hard kiss.

Her protests her fierce as she attempted to tear her mouth away and push him back. But the harder she tried to push him off, the more he held on to her and the more hungrily he kissed her. It however came as a suprise to him when she began kissing him back and a fight died down, but was still present, at this he slowed the kiss down. Grazing her bottom lip, he asked for entrance which she didn't grant, but he forced his way through and kissed her slow, deep and devouring, her protests stopped immediately. God he'd missed her taste. What he couldn't understand was why his face was wet, and then it hit him she was crying.

Gently pulling his head back he watched her. Brown eyes were still closed, "stop," her voice pleading and weak. "we can't do this."

"I know." he agreed knowing if Manticore found out she'd be shipped back so fast, it would make her head spin. Then it would be off to Psy Ops for evaluation. He couldn't imagine what they'd do to her there, probably make her into one of their many automatons and his Max would be lost. No, if he really cared he'd let her go.

Looking anywhere but him she spoke again, "it's just... i'm ... and you're..." she tried explaining, but she didn't have to because he knew exactly what she was saying. She didn't want to go back, and he was still part of Manticore, it just didn't make sense .

All he could do, was pull her close and hold her because he didn't want to let her go but it was the only way he could assure her safety. It took all his strenght to pull back, but he did, "go," he spoke softly, Manticore had probably been alerted, by the covert x5 they'd sent that to shadow him, that he was in contact with her and at any moment they sworm in.

She quickly pushed herself off the wall and was walking away but stopped, turned back and looked at him. "Max go." he urged weakly

"Come with me," she said, making his head snap up immediately. He had to know if she was serious and searched her face for it, and there it was shining brightly in her brown eyes.

Manticore wouldn't be the same now that he'd met her. Going back, he's be sent to Psy Ops for withholding info and they's erase everything he'd shared with her. Walking forward, he looked down at her gloved hand and slipped his into it entwining her fingers with his. "I've got nowhere else to be," he grinned.

A/N: I pictured it going someway but it went the other way anyway Please Review it gives me motivation to write.
