Chapter 6: All in my head

Alec was still asleep as Max had sneaked back out of the infirmary and headed to her apartment needing to rest. It was rare that she needed sleep but with everything that had just happened, her brain was exhausted. Alec seemed alright when she'd left, but after she was gone, he'd started dreaming.

Flashback/Dream

Taking the few steps that separated them he grabbed her and started kissing her and pushing her towards his room. I never thought I could... the phrase didn't finish it's self but the dream continued. Alec never stopped kissing her in case he'd lose the will to go on. He couldn't understand why he'd want to stop, she was hot.

Stopping once he reached a wall, he turned and pushed her against the wall. He grabbed the top of her shirt and yanked it off of her and did the same with her bra. "Do you have any idea what you do to me Maxie?" He questioned before running his tongue over her bare shoulder and up her neck as his hands found her breasts. Max gasped as she tilted her head back to give Alec more access.

Finding her zipper, he untied her pants and pushed them down within seconds. Max turned her head and Alec kissed her hard. It was all lips, teeth and tongue. He finally broke the kiss and turned her around. She helped him strip him of his clothes. He pushed her back against the wall as he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Alec attacked her neck with little bites and kisses while his hands found her breasts and began to fondle her nipples. How Alec made it to his bed was a miracle, but once he arrived, he tossed her onto the bed and climbed on top over her.

Max screamed out as she felt him enter her. She bit her lip as she felt him fill her completely. She threw her head back and started moaning as he started to move within her. Max felt tight around him her inner walls contracting every time he pushed himself deep inside of her. She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist as he started nibbling on her neck. "Oh, god, faster, harder." she gasped as Alec thrust himself inside her over and over again going deeper with every thrust.

He sunk his teeth into her shoulder and heard her scream, but he knew that it wasn't out of pain but pure undiluted pleasure. He licked the blood of her shoulder and attacked her lips once again.

With a few final thrusts, Alec sent them both over the edge. "ALEC!!!" Max yelled as blinding passion and sweet bliss over came her. After their climaxes had subsided, they both collapsed into the mattress sweat pouring down their bodies and both breathing hard.

Alec sat up in his bed and caught his breath. "Wow." he uttered wiping sweat from his forehead. I wonder what that means. his mind raced with questions about her. He needed to get back on his feet and figure things out. This was really starting to bother him.

First, everyone was shocked to see he didn't remember her. She seemed to have been upset or regretting that he didn't remember her. Then she'd dismissed it as if nothing was wrong, but she'd come back to his bedside later on in the night.

He'd known she was there but didn't open his eyes. He didn't want to scare her away, and honestly, he was amazed at how peaceful she made him feel. He wondered if his dream hadn't been just that a dream, fantasy, because she'd been there with him. He knew he couldn't just go up to her and say hey did we ever fuck? He started laughing at the thought and the face she'd probably pull.

"Glad to see your feeling much better." the doctor said coming to stand beside his bed. "Your vital signs are back to normal."

"Great does that mean I can go now?" Alec cut the doc off. It wasn't that he hated being here, oh hell who was he trying to fool he hated this place.

"Yes, I'll sign you out. There is one condition though, you still have to rest a lot and can't go and do anything that'll open your stitches up." Alec was already unplugging the IV and other stuff stuck in his arm.

"Sure, no problem, you've got my word." Alec gave his most honest smile possible.

"Funny, you've got our word on that." OC and Sketchy laughed coming to stand by the doc. Alec gave them an evil look but they just ignored him. "We'll take care of our baby boo here." OC glared at Alec as he groaned at her and Sketchy.

Walking into the apartment Alec stopped in the doorway. "This isn't my place."

OC and Sketchy turned to face him. "Um, you're right, it's just that when you were missing Max came back to TC and took your apartment." Sketchy explained.

"It's just temporary; once she's packed up you can have it back. We just didn't think you'd been checked out so quickly." OC finished explaining and Alec seemed okay with it. Alec walked in and looked around, it was a little bigger than his place he remembered and wondered why Max hadn't taken this place.

"So, who am I kicking out to be staying here?" he questioned sitting on the sofa.

"No one this place has always been vacant." OC answered putting the food she gotten from the supply room. She didn't want Alec having to walk to the mess hall to get some food.

Her answer only made him more curious about why Max was in his apartment. Had they been a couple or something like that, he was sure he'd remember if he'd taken her as his mate. "Hey, I got to ask were Maxie and I together?"

OC and Sketchy turned to face him; they stared for what seemed like forever. "We don't know really what kind of relationship you had." OC lied straight-faced, she couldn't bring herself to tell him and by the look on Sketchy's face neither could he. But something registered in OC's mind, he'd called her Maxie. That could only mean he was remembering more.

Now Alec was sure his dream was just that a dream, some sort of fantasy. Because when he'd asked OC if Max was in love with Logan she didn't deny it and now he'd asked if they, him and Max, were together they'd said no. Somehow, it didn't make him feel any better though, and the thought of Max and Logan together didn't seem to be normal, or natural.

Flashback

"Hey." Alec said walking up to Asha

"Hi." she replied a little uneasy.

"Long time no see." he adds

"I guess so." she finally looks at him.

"Yeah. You avoiding me?" He questions taking a sip of his whiskey watching her from the corner of his eye.

"No." she shakes her head. "But I gotta say I'm glad that nothing happened that night." She says.

"Yeah, me too." Alec tries to be nice, he wasn't sure why he'd brought her back to his place, well he knew what he wanted to do but nothing more than that.

"Probably works for days huh? Your whole, "Time is short. You gotta put your heart on the line. Baby I want you speech." She was trying to act cool as if none of it bothered her.

Alec laughed, "Look you don't want to get involved with me. I was made in a lab, you know? I spent my formative years learning the fine art of assassination. There are guys out there right now looking to kill me... and I'm sure someday they'll probably succeed." Alec was trying to be nice but she wasn't helping.

"Spare me the drama. You're too scared to let go and actually care about somebody." Asha couldn't understand what he's problem was.

"Right, because the last time I let go... somebody got caught in the crossfire and died." after that, he'd promised himself never to fall in love again.

"I'm sorry. I didn't-" Now she understood why he was pushing her away.

"Just do yourself a favor, Asha, leave me alone."

"Alec." Asha stared at him.

"Beat it." Alec was tired of this conversation and turned away from her. Asha got up and walked away when Max walked up to the bar with an empty pitcher of beer. Asking the barkeep for a refill.

"So what'd you do now?" Max questioned smirking at him.

"Why am I always the bad guy with you, Max?" Alec couldn't help but smile at her statement.

"Whatever. You wanna blow your shot with her, be my guest." Max rolled her eyes, it wasn't true was it? Did she always make him out to be the bad guy?

"Oh, right, yeah.'Cause I could be this charming, sweet guy... and score myself a really nice girlfriend, but unlike you... I'm actually trying to do the right thing." Alec turned to her; he couldn't believe she was so naive.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Max questioned not understanding him.

"You think the only problem you and Logan have is some genetically engineered virus... that'll kill the guy if you touch him?" Alec wanted to tell her that she was meant to be with her kind.

"Yeah, that takes the front seat." Max replied getting a little pissed off with him.

"Hmm. Max, we don't belong with them. Okay? We're a danger to them." Alec stopped and stared at her. "When are you gonna finally see that?"

"Me and Logan are none of your business." Max raised her voice.

"Why don't you just open your eyes..." Alec started but stopped when Logan showed up and questioned what was wrong. Getting up Alec replied nothing with a smirk and walked away.

Cause it's all in my head

I think about it over and over again

I can't keep picturing you with him

And it hurts so bad

Cause it's all in my head

I think about it over and over again

I replay it over and over again

I can't take it, I can't shake it no
