Something Greater

Chapter 3



Alec laid awake staring down at Max as she slept. Slowly and gently he played with her hair. but not enough to wake her. He listened to her steady breathing knowing she was still sleeping deeply. He brought a handful of her hair to his face and inhaled. Smellmelled so good like a mix of nature, leather and sex. He was still tingly from their earlier activities the night before. He would never forget how good she felt.



He sighed, he knew as soon as she woke up she would gather her clothes and leave, probably without so much as a word. He shouldn't expect more from her one night was all he wanted, right?



He caressed the side of her face with a feather light touch. He couldn't stop himself from touching her she was addictive. He ran his fingers down the side of her face to her neck and pushed her hair away exposing her. He leaned forward and laid soft kisses up and down her neck. She stirred as goosebumps raised to the top of her skin. He smiled at how responsive she was to his touch. His fingers left her neck going down her arm and back up several times making her shiver in her sleep.



She moaned and snuggled closer against his chest. "Alec..." she moaned quietly.



He closed his eyes when she spoke his name. It was like a dream come true. He always wondered if she dreamed about him at all in the sense of lovers or such. He kissed up and down her neck again coming to a halt at her ear. "Max, " he whispered. He watched as her eyes fluttered open and looked up at him. She sighed sleepily and rolled over to face him snuggling against his chest. "Morning, " she said.



He smoothed away a few strands of her hair kissing her, "Morning."



She closed her eyes and enjoyed his attention. Their lovemaking from the night before was more amazing than anything she had ever experienced. But, she hadn't expected him to be the same way the next morning. They had their one night and that's all he asked for...right? It reality he was torturing her, being all nice then going back to his same smart ass ways. She hated to admit it, but...she didn't want the night before to be a one time thing. She wanted many nights with Alec. She wanted to say something about how she felt but she didn't want to push him any further away.



He looked down at her and silently sighed. It would end so soon and he wanted it to never end. He wanted her stay with him all the time. He wanted to be with her all the time. They practically lived with one another anyway. They worked together at Jam Pony and missions for Logan. Alec pretty much hung out at Joshua's and she visited Joshua all the time. And if they weren't at one of those places they seen each other at Crash. He noticed as of late people were asking him if he and Max were together. At the time it made him laugh. The idea of him and Max together made him feel good. He wanted to be able to walk up behind her and pull her into a deep embrace and kiss her in public. A relationship with him was something she didn't want though. He offered her one night and she took it as it was...one night.



She shifted uncomfortably and groaned lightly in pain.



"You okay?" he asked concerned.



She opened her eyes and moved to straddle his legs laying her chin on his chest. "I'm okay just...you gave me a little more than I'm used too, " she said blushing lightly.



Instantly he was sorry. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you, " he said sitting up on his elbows.



"You didn't hurt me, " she said shaking her head. In truth she felt hollow without him between her legs. She closed her eyes which was a big mistake. Images of him above her...inside her...she shivered which didn't go unnoticed by him.



"Cold?" he asked.



She stared up at him then crawled up his body to straddle his lower body making him groan and close his eyes briefly. He reached up and ran his hands up and down her back as she leaned down to kiss him passionately. He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.



Breathlessly she pulled back, "What do you want to do today?"



"Stay right here, " he said pulling her back down into another kiss.



She had no complaints as her lips came crushing down on his. She moaned against him then gasped as she was rolled oontoonto her back. She sighed as his lips made a trail down her neck to her breast. He suckled one into his mouth letting his tongue roll over and around it over and over. She gripped his hair as he suckled her deeper. She couldn't stoe whe whimper from her lips as he moved over to her other breast. She wasn't sure she could take another round of him, but she was more than willing to try.



"You are so incredible, " he breathed moving from her breast to leave tongue trails down her stomach.



She watched him as he moved down her body and gulped as she saw his destination. He didn't do this to her the night before and if it was anything like what he did to her last night, she was in for one hell of a ride. She sometimes liked this better than sex, only sometimes. He settled himself between her thighs, opening her wider. He laid feather light kisses up and down both her thighs, teasing her. She felt like her skin was going to crawl off her. The room temperature had risen twenty degrees.



"Max, " he said getting her attention.



She looked down to see his tongue dart out against her clit. She gasped closing her eyes letting her head fall back. Her back arched giving better access to Alec. Expertly, he rolled and circled her clit with his tongue. He loved how she tasted and how wet she was before he ever really touched her. He looked up under hooded eyes toward her. She was so beautiful when she was like that. Her eyes closed her mouth open, breathing heavily and the sounds, oh God the sounds she made almost made him loose control.



Max thought she was going to snap in two when he added more pressure to her clit. He would gently roll his tongue arout, st, suckle it then run his tongue directly over it over and over again. She grabbed at the sheets hoping to get some kind of leverage to keep from breaking his jaw at her bucking hips. His hands trailed up her legs to her knees and hooked around them bringing her legs over his shoulders.



"Oh God Alec..." she moaned. She loved the feeling of his tongue. If felt like wet silk or wet suede. She shuddered suddenly and new she was about to go over the edge. It didn't go unnoticed by Alec as he felt her shiver go through her entire body and through his, it was strange. He didn't slow up but didn't speed up either. He wanted to drag it out as long as possible. His left hand moved from her knee to between her legs and he groaned against her clit at the amazing feeling of her wetness. He slipped two of his fingers in easily pumping them in and out as he licked and suckled at her clit.



"Alec!" she screamed bucking her hips against the overpowering sensations going through her body. She get getting light headed from breathing so heavily. Her teeth were actually starting to feel numb and her mouth was dry. She let her death grip on the sheet go and entwined her fingers in his hair pulling him closer to her.



Alec's head was spinning from his own sensations. Her smell, taste, sounds and her firm thigh grip was driving him insane. He was so hard against the sheet he just knew when she went over the edge he would be right behind her without a single touch. Then he felt it, a shudder...and another...then another...then she tensed and let out the most exotic scream he had ever heard. Her body began to calm down with small shivers going through her. He gave her a few more licks and suckles then carey rey removed her legs from his shoulders anowlyowly made his way up her body leaving kiss trails.



She moaned lightly as he settled himself on top of her. She loved the feel of his heavy weight. He pushed her sweat-plastered hair away from her face and left small kisses all over. His shifted his weight rubbing himself against her, groaning.



"Alec please, " she moaned against his lips.



"I don't want to hurt you, " he whispered.



"You're not going to hurt me, " she said slowly pushing her hips against him making them both moan.



He leaned down and kissed her as he reached down between them and placed himself at her opening. "Max, " he breathed as he pushed himself inside her. She felt so incredible just like the night before.



Max leaned her head back as he started a slow agonizing pace. He felt so amazing. She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders as she was rocked back and forth slowly. Alec buried his face her in neck and kissed, sucked and licked the small sweat beads away. He loved the feeling of her thighs pressed tightly around him. To be buried so deep inside her he never wanted to leave.



"Oh my God Max you feel so incredible..." Alec whispered into her ear quickening his pace. He reached back and pulled her legs tighter around him.



She whimpered contracting her muscles around him. "Oh yeah, please...you feel so good inside me..." she said with a quiver to her voice.



He quickened his pace even more feeling her close to orgasm. "Oh God Max!" he said loudly into her neck. He pumped in and out in and out over and over. She squeezed her muscles her legs everything tighter around him as she felt a tremendous shudder rake her body. They came together, a single pulse going through their bodies.

Alec collapsed on top of her breathing heavily into her neck. Max let her body go limp underneath him. They did nothing but lay there. Both content with listening to their hearts and steady breathing. But, Alec was worried he was too much weight for her. He moved to roll over but two strong hands on his shoulders stopped him. "Don't move, " she whined.



He smiled down at her, "I'm not going anywhere I just wanted to move us into a more comfortable position before we fall asleep like this."



"It wouldn't be so bad would it?" she smiled tiredly.



He chuckled as he moved them into a spooning position her back to him with his arms wrapped around her waist.



"Alec, " she said breaking the silence.



"Mmm, " he mumbled almost asleep.



"Can I ask you something?" she asked running her hand up and down his arm gently.



"What?"



"What do you want us to do about this?" she asked. "I think we both know things can't go back the way they were."



Alec thought about it for a moment. "I never really wanted things to go back to normal. I like things they way they are right now, " he confessed.



"You do, " she said surprised.



"Yeah, " he shrugged. "I've always wanted this...you."



Max shifted positions to face him with confused eyes. "Why didn't you ever say anything before?"



"I didn't say anything because of Logan, " he said.



She smiled, "I learned something in these last two days. Logan is really a great guy, a good friend. But you Alec...you are so much more of what I want and what I need." They stared at each other for a long moment. "I love you Alec."



"I love you Max, " he leaned forward and kissed her.
