Chapter 12: Standing Still

It had nearly been a month since Alec had returned and things were slowly starting to get back to normal. He'd taken his place back as CO of Terminal City but kept Max as his second in command.

As everyone thought Alec took the news about the baby hard, he didn't talk to Max for a week, he'd accused her of being selfish and not thinking clearly as usual.

She'd gone to him during the night, crawled into his bed and lay beside him. He woke up and stared at her for the longest time before speaking. "Max what are you doing here?" he wasn't ready to deal with her just yet. He wanted nothing more than to tell her that it was okay, everything was okay about the baby but he couldn't.

"I can't tell you anymore how sorry I am. I can tell you that I wanted this baby more than life itself and that is the truth." She could see he was trying to find a quick way to get out of this conversation. "I wanted this baby because it was from you, not for any other reason. I still want to have your child."

Alec had his eyes closed and didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, he'd dreamed of her telling him similar words so often that he wondered if this wasn't a dream. Feeling her start to get up from the bed, he put his hand on her arm. She turned to look at him and he simply pulled her onto him kissing her softly.

"I want you Alec, all of you." Max mumbled against his lips as his hands roamed her small body. He missed her so much, missed the aroma of her shampoo. "Please tell me that you want me too."

"I want you." Alec replied softly nibbling on her delicate neck. He pushed all previous thoughts out of his mind and concentrated on the moment because right now he wanted her.

In one swift movement, he'd flipped them over, his hands wandering under her shirt. Grabbing the hem of it he slowly lifted up until it was off, going down to her bottom he slowly slid them down and discarded them on the floor. She wasn't wearing a bra or panties and he smirked knowing she'd done that on purpose hoping to get this result.

"Alec, no playing I need you right now." Max whispered. She would love to feel him playing with every inch of her body but she needed him in her right now. She needed to feel complete with him and watching him smile up at her she knew he'd give it to her.

He was already naked since he always slept like that. He crawled up her body and spread her legs giving himself access as he lowered himself on her his shaft at her opening. Painfully slow, he slid in and watched her close her eyes and bite her lower lip as a moan escaped. Pushing as far as he could he stopped and stayed there as she wrapped her legs around him and then pushed further in with the new position.

No words were pronounced except for the moans and grunts that escaped both their lips. Alec treated her body as though she were a goddess. Kissing and licking her everywhere making sure not to miss a spot. The speed of his thrust never accelerated staying at the slow pace he'd started at, he wanted this to last forever.

Max was trying to pay attention to his body as much as he was doing with her but found it too hard. All she could do was moan and feel him and what he was doing to her, it was perfect as every thrust pushed her closer to the edge and clenching her velvet walls tighter around him making him growl in response.

When she started flying over the edge she'd thought he'd quicken his pace but he didn't keeping the same rhythm making sure it lasted as long as possible. Even when he started seeing white and the blissful passion took over, he kept in control coming to a stop once he'd spilled himself completely in her. Max would have put her hand in fire to prove that this was the longest orgasm she'd ever had.

Starting to get off her when they were completely done Max stopped him. "Stay on me, please." She whispered not ready to let him go. He removed himself from her and lowered himself so his head rested just below her breast. They quickly fell asleep exhausted from the night's activities.

Max woke up with the sun shining in her face and turned to Alec but he wasn't there. She sat up and called his name but heard no response or noise indicating he was still in his apartment. She wanted to lie back down and stay in his bed forever, though she didn't feel right staying, something about him not being there scared her.

She'd went to her apartment to get some new clothes and decided not to shower right away. She could still smell him on herself and liked it. She headed out to the command center to find him.

"Morning." She said walking into his office. Alec looked up from his place behind his desk and smiled.

"Morning." He replied as casually as possible.

"How are you?" Max asked as he'd started reading his reports again. She couldn't help but feel like he didn't want her here. "Did I do something wrong?" she had to ask, she needed to know that they were okay.

"I'm alright and you did nothing wrong." Alec smiled again just like before. "Look Max, I've got a tone of reports to go over. Can we talk later?" he was trying to get rid of her and he knew that she knew. He didn't want to hurt her and was trying to be as nice as possible.

"Sure." Max mumbled and nodded turning around and walking out, she glanced at him before closing the door and he'd already started reading his reports.

They didn't talk later on during the day, somehow she never saw him again. He'd either been busy in meetings or running around Terminal City doing whatever he was doing.

Do you want me

Like I want you

Or am I standing still

Do you need me

Like I need you

Or am I standing still

Do you love me

Like I love you

Or am I standing still
