Interlude - T is for Trust

2024Nov16 - Saturday - 'Date' Night - 8:04 pm...

"Hey! Sorry I'm late."

Alec grinned as he heard Max breeze in, only a few minutes late for their weekly 'date' night that they took turns planning. Their sole regulated break from the demands of leadership, it was a commitment they'd made to one another shortly after they'd started dating; a testament to their desire for quality uninterrupted personal time together.

"Hey yourself, babe." Walking quickly out of their bedroom, he caught up with her as she was kicking off her boots and hanging up her leather jacket, coming up behind her and waiting patiently until she was done before wrapping his arms snuggly around her waist. He pressed a kiss into the junction of her neck right over his mating mark, then whispered huskily in her ear, "So, are you ready for me?" His breath puffing out over the lobe and making her shiver.

Max smiled and relaxed back into his embrace, enjoying the welcoming heat radiating out from his bare chest. "Hmmm. I suppose that all depends," she teased, her eyes sparkling as she glanced over her shoulder and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "What did you have in mind for tonight?"

Pulling a plush red velvet blindfold and matching set of hand ties from the back pocket of his jeans with a flourish, he dangled them enticingly in front of her and murmured, "Figured we'd stay in and enjoy some long-overdue playtime, if you're up for it."

Turning in his arms, she stretched up to wrap her arms around his neck and gave him a much more enthusiastic and intimate kiss, before breathing out huskily, "Well, in that case..." Rubbing her body suggestively against his, she confirmed what he'd already suspected would be the case, "I'm all yours. Feel free to have your wicked way with me."

Alec chuckled throatily, "I was hoping you'd say that." Making sure not to catch her hair, he took a minute to fasten the blindfold securely around her eyes, carefully adjusting it until he was sure her vision was completely obscured. Then, stepping back from her, he took her hand and led her carefully into the bedroom, positioning her in front of their bed. He couldn't help but smirk with anticipation as he eyed the items he'd lined up for their enjoyment.

Reaching out to her, he caressed her cheek softly, his eyes following her movements as she moved to kiss his palm and then rubbed into his hand, just like the cat she partly was. A low purr of approval emanating from her throat when she felt his fingers trail down over her neck, lingering at the buttons of her black shirt and undoing each one slowly but surely until it finally gaped open, revealing red lacy fabric and a tantalizing amount of flesh for his perusal.

He couldn't help but groan appreciatively at the sight of the scandalously skimpy push-up bra that showcased rather than concealed her breasts; her nipples peeking out over top the extremely low-cut lace. "This is new," he rumbled, as he moved her shirt aside to improve his view and grazed his fingers along the edges of the lace.

"Mmmhmm." She murmured huskily in agreement. "Saw it when OC and I went out last week and figured you might like it."

"Oh, I definitely approve. Might have to leave it on in fact." Moving on reluctantly for now and brushing his fingers lightly over the skin of her abdomen, he grinned at the goosebumps rising in his wake, before grasping the edges of her shirt and easing it off her completely, tossing it vaguely toward their laundry hamper. Leaning into her, but keeping the rest of his body from touching hers, he dragged his lips ever so lightly along her collarbone and then kissed a leisurely path down over her breast bone.

Max shivered each time his warm lips touched her, little gasps of air telegraphing her uninhibited reaction to him. Reaching out blindly for him, she found his hair and combed her fingers through it, loving the feel of the silken strands under her fingertips. A little moan escaping her when he suddenly diverted to one side and licked at a nipple through the edge of the lace, sucking at it and teasing it with his teeth. Her fingers clenching in his hair and holding him to her.

But he didn't linger, much to her dismay, too intent on stripping her down so they could really start enjoying themselves. Pulling the soft ties back out of his pocket now that her shirt was out of the way, he stepped around behind her and gently took her wrists, binding them carefully together. Loose enough that she'd be able to get free if she tried hard enough, but more than sufficient to hold her as his willing captive without hurting her.

Coming back around and crouching before her, Alec released the button on her cargo pants and slid the zip down, easing the material down over her hips. His fingers stilling and clenching at her thighs as he took in the matching lace g-string she was wearing, the fabric so sheer as to be almost nonexistent. The two little bows barely holding it in place over her hipbones an extreme tease; the heady scent of her unmistakable arousal even more so. "You really are tryin' to kill me here, aren't you," he groaned, unable to resist the temptation to lean in and press a hot lingering kiss overtop each bow. "How the hell do you expect me to have any kind of staying power tonight with you wearing somethin' this hot?"

"It's all part of my evil plan to seduce you, baby." Max smiled sexily and licked her lips, unable to contain the mischievous giggle bubbling up as she imagined the tortured expression he must surely be sporting based on the slight whining note in his voice. "But I'm sure you'll find a way to persevere somehow. You almost always do." Her tone slightly mocking and filled with mirth despite the supposedly supportive words.

Glancing up at her with a wicked glint in his eyes, he decided to tease her right back. "Think you'd better watch yourself there, sweetheart," he warned, "you are kinda at my mercy at the moment."
