Chapter 2
Alec laid in bed looking up at the ceiling of his bedroom. He had counted every single crack and hole there was. He remembered every bit of what happened the night before. He could still smell her on him and everyone in the apartment. He knew it would take forever to get her scent out, if it would ever go away. He sat up and ran his fingers through his hair with a groan. His back was in a little bit of pain from her clawing. He pulled the covers back and stepped out of bed. As he walked to his bathroom he thought. He wanted to blamed himself and her for what happened, but there was no one to blame except Manticore. Neither one could fight against their true nature.
He walked to his tub and turned on the hot water. As he watched the tub fill up he remembered the event of that morning.
(Flashback)
Max opened her eyes narrowly as she woke from a deep slumber. She blinked a couple of times and took in her surroundings. 'Alec's place?' she thought. That's when she felt an arm wrapped around her tightly. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Alec with his head rested against her shoulder. 'Oh my God…what have I done?' By the feel of his breath on her back he was fast asleep. Their excursions the night before must've tired him out. She was afraid to move in fear of waking him. She wanted to get her head on strait before he woke and wackiness ensued. Her mind scrambled to remember how she encountered him.
'Okay Max, remember. I went for a ride to cool off and ended up at Crash. I started to leave after I almost pounced on a guy when I was distracted enough to realize what the hell I was doing. I started to leave when someone jumped me on my bike…Alec' she remembered.
She remembered his behavior, it was awfully strange. Most guys would have asked what was wrong, but Alec seemed to know she was in heat. In fact he seemed drawn to her. That's when it hit her. Of course…they were both X5's. When she was in heat she gave off pheromones to attract a mate. Alec must've smelled her pheromones and went into some kind of mating trance. It was something she'd never experienced before. When she escaped Manticore she never saw any of the other X5's until about two years ago, and then she wasn't in heat. Except one time Zack showed up a day after and was acting kind of funny. Damn Manticore for there experiments and concoctions.
Alec stirred and pulled her tighter against him. He made an incoherent sound and repositioned his head. She reached down and removed herself from his grasp and sat up and started to gather her clothes all around the apartment. He groaned at her absence and opened one eye and saw her come back into the room with her clothes. Instantly, his eyes fell to the dozens of bites and cuts up and down her back. Some of them were deep. Others were already starting to heal.
Max heard him waken as she found her shirt and pants and put them on. She had a difficult time getting her shirt on over the numerous wounds she had, but she managed.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room. The only sound that could be heard were their breathing. If you concentrated you could hear their heartbeats.
Max sat with her knees to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She didn't know how much longer she could take the silence. She could feel Alec's eyes boring into her back. It surprised her he hadn't said anything yet. By now he should've said something like 'that was great we should do it again some time' or 'you are an animal when you're in heat'…but he said nothing. Could he feel guilty? Or could she have been that bad in bed? Nervously, she chewed on her bottom lip and closed her eyes. It didn't help much, her mind filled with images of the night before. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Why wasn't she raging mad at him and kicking his ass for taking advantage of her heat cycle? For some reason she wasn't mad at him. She couldn't blame him really. He was affected by her heat cycle just as much as she was. At least that's what she thought.
"You alright?" Alec asked carefully. The words came out before he realized it. He was worried if he'd hurt her badly, he wanted to make sure he hadn't hurt her more than he should have. "I just…wanted to, " he stopped when Max turned and faced him. Her eyes grew slightly big as she saw his own marks on his chest. They looked into each other's eyes and saw understanding in them. It wasn't what he expected to get from her. He expected flying objects, yelling and being called everything in the book. Actually, he expected to wake up alone, but this wasn't what he expected from her.
"I'm okay, what about you?" she said quietly.
"I'll survive, " he said with consideration.
Max cleared her throat nervously and Alec noticed the look of discomfort on her face. Then he remembered his state of undress and raised his eyebrows to himself. He reached out and grabbed his pants and put them on. It seemed to ease the tension in the room now that they were both covered in the most important areas.
Silence filled the room again as they both scrambled to find something to say. Something had to be said before they departed. If Max had slept with someone like Rafer again, a complete stranger she could just shrug it off and never think about it again. But, she knew Alec personally before last night. She couldn't just walk away from him and not worry about it again. She seen him everyday all day practically. This was something neither one them could ignore like it never happened.
"I'm sorry about last night. That's never happened to me before, " Max confessed.
Alec looked at her confused. Max immediately knew he took it the wrong way.
Max shook her head no, "I meant I've never been with one of my own before. I didn't know that's what would happen."
Alec couldn't believe his ears. He was the first X5 she'd ever been with? It both thrilled and baffled him. What concerned him more was she didn't know the effects of her heat cycle on other transgenics. She does now.
"Well, now you know. I'll give you fair warning next time, " he said as he stood and started to gather his things.
"What do you mean you'll give me fair warning?" she asked bewildered. She scooted up off the floor and wiped her pants off.
Alec smiled briefly and glanced towards her, "Now, that we've…had sex I know your scent so…I'll be able to tell ahead of time when you start your heat cycle."
Max blushed, "Oh."
"Ah, " he hissed as he pulled his shirt over his head.
"Sorry about that, " she said genuinely sorry.
Alec didn't say anything just looked down at his watch and said, "Uh, I gotta go." He met her eyes and swallowed. "I'm not going to tell anybody so you don't have to worry, " he said.
She nodded, "Yeah, I think that'd be best."
He nodded in return and walked past her and out of the room leaving Max alone to her thoughts.
(Present)
Alec walked into his apartment and took his jacket on his way to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom he started the hot water in the tub and began to strip of his clothes carefully. The scratches on his back were already starting to scab over.
Out of his clothes he turned off the water and settled himself into the tub slowly. He closed his eyes as he settled himself into the tub comfortably. The hot water stung his back but it would help them considerably. "Well Max, you've successfully scared me for life, " he said to himself.
