As the morning sun shone brightly through the curtains Zoe stirred having spent the night at Max's.

Feeling his hot breath on her neck she twisted over so she was facing him.

"Hey" Zoe said smiling softly at Max; he was so breathtakingly handsome first thing in the morning and she was sure if she was standing her legs would have buckled already just from the sight of him.

"Hey" Max said bashfully "Last night..."

"Was amazing" Zoe said before leaning up and giving him a soft kiss on the lips.

Max pulled Zoe on top of him and started assaulting her body with his hands and lips.

"Max, I need to get ready for work" she told him "And so do you" she added pointedly.

"Fine" Max said as he just laid there watching Zoe slip from beneath the covers, he leaned over and tugged her arm causing her to fall back on the bed with him "Max, I've got to get ready" she told him sternly but the temptation was too much and she leant in and kissed him on the lips, slipping her tongue in causing a soft moan to fall from his lips.

Zoe quickly pulled away knowing full well where this was heading "We will continue this later" she told him as she left the bedroom and went to the bathroom; luckily Robyn had already left for work and hadn't bothered to check on Max for anything.

Next time Max saw Zoe it was at work when he was halfway through his shift; Zoe had been busy all morning so he hadn't had chance to get her alone until now.

Max was walking down the empty corridor upstairs as he saw Zoe in front of him; clearly she didn't know he was there so Max being Max decided to sneak up on her which resulted in spilled water and a rather angry Zoe.

"Max" Zoe shouted looking at the water that had ended up down Max's t-shirt "Don't do that"

"Come on, how was I to know you were going to throw your water at me" he said cheekily.

"Look Max I'm really busy today, I've got Guy breathing down my neck" she said "Look I'll see you later yeah" then she walked off; throwing her now empty plastic cup in the bin, not giving Max a chance to reply.

Max just stared after her before going back to what he was doing.

Max headed to resus to collect a patient and take them up to the ward, on his way back he decided to stop by the vending machine and get a chocolate bar.

As the machine gave him his chocolate he noticed Zoe head into her office and he knew Connie wasn't in there so he decided to go in and see her.

As Max made his way to the door he knocked, hearing Zoe call him in he opened the door and walked in with a grin on his face.

"Max" Zoe sighed "Not now, I have so much admin..." Zoe rambled; clearly stressed.

Max walked over to her and silenced her with his lips causing her to stop abruptly and respond to his kiss.

"Max, stop" Zoe said as she gently pushed him away "I need to get this done" she told him indicating to her desk full of paperwork.

"Come on, five-minutes won't hurt, you need to relax a bit" Max told her, leaning in to kiss her again but she put her hand up; stopping him.

"Max, I am clinical lead, I don't have time to relax" Zoe ranted.

"Just one kiss, then I'll go" Max told her as he showed her that irresistible smile that she loved so much.

"Max..." Zoe whispered as she couldn't stop the smile that appeared on her face "Fine, one kiss then I need to get back to work"

Max wasted no time in capturing her lips in his own, his hands found their way to her back as she snaked her arms around his neck and kissed him back wholeheartedly.

She sighed into the kiss as she felt his tongue enter her mouth and massage her own; she always got lost in his kisses.

"Right" she said breaking their kiss that was growing more passionate by the second "I need to get back to work"

"Why are the blinds always shut in here" Max said seemingly ignoring her and looking around at the closed blinds.

"So people like you don't nosey in" she told him with a wink causing him to grin.

Max got the chocolate bar out of his pocket and started opening it; he knew Zoe loved chocolate and he was doing it just to tease her.

He heard Zoe gasp so he looked at her and smiled.

"Give us some" she said as she walked over and tried to take it from him.

"Nope" Max told her as he moved it out of her reach "You've got work to do"

"So have you" she complained.

"Fine" Max playfully sighed "But only because I like you" he said as he handed her the nearly full chocolate bar "A lot" he winked as he smacked her on the bottom and left the office leaving a smiling Zoe behind; her day had got a little better thanks to Max.
