Max slammed though the doors to
command central with a furious look on her face. Alec’s first thought was ‘what
have I done this time’. But then Logan followed her though the doors looking no
less annoyed, and instantly he didn’t give a damn if he had done anything
wrong. Alec’s mistakes were Alec’s problem, maybe even Max’s problem on the
occasions he screwed up when Terminal City was involved, but Logan had no right
to get involved.
It took
Alec a few minutes to realise that Max wasn’t angry with him, she was angry
with Logan.
“Come
on Max, they’re kids! Give them the opportunity-”
“No
Logan! Right now they’re soldiers. Right now, they have to be.”
“Max,
this isn’t Manticore! They don’t have to be soldiers-”
“Yes
they do! Jesus Logan, can’t you get it through your head? They can play at
being kids after this shit is over! As nice as it would be for them to play on
the jungle-gym at the closest park its not going to happen!”
Alec
slowly made his way to stand at Max’s back. Command central had gone quiet as
they listened to Max and Logan argue over whatever it was they were arguing
over. Probably Logan wanting to play Daddy-for-a-day and taking out a bunch of
the younger Transgenic’s to the park or something as equally dumb and
dangerous.
“Max,
most of these kids are barely 10 years old, don’t be such a heartless bitch out
this! They-”
“Heartless?”
You could have heard a pin drop for three blocks with the deadly silence that
had fallen over the room. “You think I’m heartless?”
“No,
come on, you know I didn’t mean it.”
“But
you said it, so you obviously meant something by it. Why don’t you explain it
to me, to us.” She threw her arms out to indicate the others in the room.
“You’re
not letting these kids be kids Max!”
“So
what? You think that having a happy childhood is going to keep them safe?
They’ve lived in Manticore, and compared to there, this is a party. What’s a
few months more patrolling Terminal City compared to being killed or taken by
the military back to captivity?”
“Max,
you’re not being fair to them.”
“Maybe
not, but I’m keeping them alive! I can’t believe you Logan, you think that
because the market is accepted that we are? You think I’m being heartless
because everyone has to take turns at sentry duty?”
“Max,
no-”
“Heartless?”
Max’s back was stiff with anger and her hands were shaking with the fury she
felt at Logan calling her heartless, heartless. Of all the tactless things
he could have said, Alec thought that this was probably the one that would get
him killed. If not by Max, then surely by Joshua who was softly growing.
Alec
was waiting at Max’s side so he could grab her before she attacked Logan and
killed him. But instead of Max leaping at Logan, which was what Alec had been
prepared for, she did something no one was prepared for.
She
ripped her shirt in half baring her breasts to the room. Her breasts that were
in no way covered by the lacy black bra she was hardly wearing. You couldn’t
have heard a pin drop over the gasping breath's that most every male in the
room was sucking in. The transhumans didn’t even blink.
“Heartless
Logan? You see the scar?” Max took a step closer to an ogling Logan. Not that
anyone in the room could blame him since they were all ogling too. Alec could
see the scar, a faint pink line that ran through a rune that was located over
her heart. Alec’s eyebrows drew together. That scar should have faded months
ago, in fact it had been faded not more than a week ago. “You think I’m
heartless?”
“Max-”
Logan choked out and dragged his eyes up to hers where tears of anger were
leaking out.
“You
have no idea! I might not have hung around for the whole game, but I was there
longer than those kids were and I’m telling you now, that if I can make a life
out here, and I have, those kids can too! And waiting a few months around here
won’t hurt them! Hell, everyone here was there longer than me and they’re
adjusting out here just fine!” Max was screaming now, slowly stepping towards
Logan who was slowly backing away. And with every point she made Max made a
stabbing motion with her finger that made everything jiggle. She was making it
hard for Alec to concentrate on making sure she didn’t kill Logan accidentally.
Things were jiggling everywhere.
“You’re
not heartless Max, I didn’t-”
“Damn
right I’m not! My brother gave his heart to me, his life for mine! Do you have
any idea how big his heart was? Do you know the kind of love we shared? The
kind I share with every one of my brothers and sisters? I love them more than
I’ve ever loved anything! I love everyone here in Terminal City too, everyone
of those kids that you think I’m keeping a prisoner here, my family, my kind,
don’t for a minute think I wouldn’t give them everything they could possibly
need and want. But first I have keep them alive and safe!”
“Keeping
them safe isn’t going to do them any good if they don’t learn how to be kids in
the world outside of Terminal City”
Max
gave a scream of fury and leapt at Logan. Now before Max had ripped her shirt
apart Alec had been prepared for this, was waiting for it and was standing next
to her for that precise reason. He was supposed to catch her before she got
close enough to touch Logan. She might be mad, but he was sure she didn’t want
him dead.
But
then of course she had ripped her shirt to bits and started jiggling all over
the place and Alec had gotten distracted by the scar and all that jiggling.
Lucky
for Logan though that Mole wasn’t distracted and was close enough to grab hold
of Max before she could do any lasting damage. Unlucky for Mole though by
grabbing her she flung her anger at the one who had thwarted her from her
original target. Thanks to Mole saving Logan’s life and not Alec, Alec had the
pleasure of watching Max kick Mole across the room. For a change he was left
standing pleasantly in his place watching as Max slowly came back to herself,
realising her breasts were bared to the world.
Her
eyes widened and her arms lifted slightly to cover herself before she forced
them back down. She looked over at Mole who had picked himself up and was
grinning around his cigar at her, before turning back to look at Logan.
“I
want you to leave. Now. When I want to speak to you again I’ll call.”
“Max-”
She
flung her arms at him and screamed as he flinched away. “Now!”
Logan
turned at swept as sweepingly out the door as the whirring motors in his
exo-skeleton would allow. Max stood straight as the doors swung shut and didn’t
move until Alec put his leather coat over her shoulders.
“Now
that he’s not here for you to show him what he can’t have, you might wanna
cover that scar up.”
“Alec…”
“Not
now. Out, now. Move.” Alec gave her a short, hard shove towards the door. He
was angry.
He
pushed her every now and then in the direction of the hotel suite that he had
taken over when he moved into Terminal City. He slammed the door behind
himself, satisfied when she flinched. She knew he was angry and he wanted it
that way. He stood behind her and ripped his jacket off her down her back,
pulling the wrecked shirt with it. The skin of her back was smooth with a few
fading runes running down her spine. Alec threw the jacket and shirt across the
room and watched as she flinched again when it hit the wall with a slapping
sound.
“So
Max. Not even five days ago, when that rune over your heart showed up,
there wasn’t the faintest hint of a scar. Not even a ridge of scar tissue.”
Alec spun her around to face him, so very angry with her for doing something so
dumb as cutting herself. He was satisfied when her eyes wouldn’t meet his, but
it also made him angrier. Where was the Max who fought for what she wanted? Had
Logan calling her heartless really broken her that much? Alec didn’t think so,
he just had to find her inner bitch again. “Now the scar is all pink and fresh
again.”
Alec
ran a finger lightly down the faint pink line, smiling grimly as her skin
raised goose bumps and her nipples tightened though her bra.
“Tell
me Max.” He wrapped one hand around her neck, squeezing lightly and tilting her
head, making her either look into his eyes or look around like an idiot. At
first she went the idiot route, her eyes rolling around in every direction
except to his eyes. Alec put his other hand around her neck and stepped closer,
squeezing her neck even tighter. “Max.”
She
finally met his eyes and he despaired at the pain in them. “It’s not what you
think.”
“So
you didn’t cut yourself?”
“I
did.” Her eyes closed and he shook her by the neck gently until she opened them
again.
“Then
its exactly what I thought.”
“But I
didn’t do it for what you’re thinking.”
“So
why don’t you tell me?”
“I
don’t want to.”
“Tell me.” Max closed her
eyes and shook her head. Alec snapped. His hands still
strong around her neck he threw her back against the wall, pushing himself up
against her, wanting to hurt her. Max’s eyes
were wide and tears were falling. She wasn’t crying. They were just falling out
like there were too many tears for her eyes to hold.
“It’s
these friggin runes! I hate them! Why me huh Alec? What the hell kind of
transgenic am I? I’m a run away. I’m not good enough for this, for any of you!
You want to know why I cut myself? I was going to cut the damn rune out you
know? Take the whole thing and just cut it the fuck off.” Max was gasping
against his hands that were still wrapped firmly around her neck, but not
tightly. Her hands were grasping his forearms, not trying to pull him away,
just needing something to hold onto. Alec could feel the slackness of her body,
had felt the fight go out of it and knew that if he weren’t pushing her against
the door she’d have fallen to the floor in a heap. “But I couldn’t. I was
standing there looking in the mirror, just after you had left that day. And I
was looking at it. Right over my heart. His heart, Zack’s heart. And I hated
how weak it made me feel.”
Max’s
hands tightened to the point where he knew that if he were an ordinary she’d be
bruising him. His eyes held hers captive, like his hands around her neck and
his body pushing against hers. She couldn’t look away, but Alec knew from the
glaze that she wasn’t really seeing him anyway.
“He
was always the strong one. Always knew what we should do. When we left, I was
so lost, he wasn’t there. None of them were. It was just me against the world.
Just me in enemy territory. And look at what I’ve made him become. A broken
soldier. Half a man. I wasn’t content with taking his heart, I had to take his
memory and everything else too? I am heartless. I’m not a good person. I’m the
jigsaw left unfinished. I’m a broken toy left in the bottom of the box. I'm
poison.”
Her
body shuddered against his. Alec’s fury had melted, but he was still angry. And
even through his anger he knew she needed more than what he was giving her now.
Alec slowly moved his thumb in a stroking manner, soothing the skin under her
chin and watched as her eyes focused once again on his.
“I
hadn’t felt much of anything for such a long time. Do you know what I mean?”
Alec nodded. “I just wanted to feel something other than weak. I wanted to
remember what it felt like to be something other than weak or damaged. Even
before we were captured by Manticore… Who would have thought, Manticore? I
found a fire in there, in me. When I first escaped, I was euphoric. Nothing
could go wrong, even after the virus, I was still on fire. I had fought
Manticore and won. My inner demons made of brick and metal bars. And I beat
that bitch. They won a battle with the virus, but I won the war. I was so sure,
so sure that letting everyone out into this world was the right thing to do.
But slowly things started to go wrong. Zack came back to me and never in my
life have I been so happy as finding my big brother that day. But look at how
that turned out.”
Max blinked
some more tears out and she started to really cry, shoulders shaking against
Alec’s. Her whole body shuddering as sobs wracked her small frame.
“And
that day, after the rune appeared and you came to me and took the picture. I
saw how you were looking at me, I could smell your sweat and testosterone. I
knew how turned on you were. And me? The only thought going through my head was
would I feel anything if we fucked right there and then. And so when you left I
took out a knife and I was gonna cut that rune out. But I couldn’t. I looked at
it and saw Zack’s heart, I saw his courage, his fire, his strength. And I
wanted all of them. So I took that knife and drew it down over my heart, not
even in the same place they cut me open to do the surgery. But over our heart
and through that rune. I was too weak. I’ll never be as strong as him, as you,
as any of you. What do I know about anything? I’m just a run away, just someone
who couldn’t handle it when they took my brother and when he shot my sister. I
was weak and I would have been next if it weren’t for Zack, my big brother
saving my life even as a kid.”
“Maxie.”
Alec shook her neck slightly to bring her attention back from where it was
wandering. “Max! You’re not weak. You’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever
known.”
Max
smiled. “Tricks and treats, medium fella. It’s all fake. Big fat happy smile on
the outside. Dead on the inside.”
“So
that’s what today was about. With Logan.” Alec watched as Max shrugged her shoulders
at him. “You were angry for a short burst of time and it felt good didn’t it?
But I saw when you lost steam, you ran out of anger towards him, and he called
you heartless so you ripped your shirt off, hoping to get something you could
react to.”
When
Max shrugged again Alec started to get angry again. She couldn’t feel anything
and he was feeling too much. “Mole knows. That’s why he was grinning after you
threw him across the room. He was happy about it because he hadn’t seen
you like that for a long time. None of us have.”
Max
shrugged again. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t care. I’m empty again.
Lost.”
“Jesus
Max!” Alec’s temper was boiling again and he started to squeeze her neck again,
this time trying to really hurt her, trying to make her feel something other
than this lost land she was in. “You think we all don’t have moments like this?
You’re not the only one in this fucked up place you know!”
“Moments?
I’ve been like this for months! The last time I felt anything more than nothing
was when I told you about Ben!”
Alec
slammed her against the door again stretching her neck back, pulling her chin
up and leaned in close as if he were going to kiss her, hoping to get a raise
out of her. Her hands tightened, but that was it.
“You
care for everyone here Max. You said it yourself. So don’t give me this shit
about how you don’t feel anything.”
“Oh I
feel alright!” Max’s eyes were now spitting mad. “I feel like I wanna kick you
in the head if only you’d let got of my neck long enough for me to get my leg
up there!”
Alec
was wondering just how far he could push her before she really did kick him in
the head. His eyes dropped from hers down to her lips. “My head has better
uses. Did you ever wonder Maxie, if it was just that you needed a little
physical comfort? It can’t have been healthy not having anyone for over a year
hug you or hold you. Fuck you.”
And he
kissed her. His hands still around her neck squeezing softly and then harder.
He opened her mouth with his jaw and pushed his tongue to hers. He felt the
strength return to her body and prepared for the fight he was hoping she would
put up.
Instead,
for the second time that night, she surprised him.
Max
let go of his forearms and wrapped them around the back of his head pulling him
tight to the kiss. He debated for two seconds about this reaction versus the
one he was expecting. This was much more preferable. And so the kiss continued.
Max
felt her top lip split as Alec assaulted her with his teeth and tasted her
blood. It turned her on like nothing had in a long time.
Alec’s
hand around her neck were slowly cutting off her air supply and she was
starting to get light headed. Combined with the kiss and the blood Max started
to float.
Suddenly
Alec’s body left hers. His mouth lifted away and his hands released their grip
from around her neck.
Max
sucked in large gasps of air, then licked her lip and swallowed saliva and
blood down a sore and bruised throat.
“Alec.”
Her voice was rough, but there was no mistaking the tone. She wanted him.
Alec
bent his head to the rune and sucked hard over the pink scar and brown mark on
her skin. He bit and sucked, his hands holding her hips against the door, Max’s
hands in his hair and when he lifted his head all you could see of where the
rune had been over her heart was a dark purple hickey with a pink line running
through it.
Alec
yanked his top off over his head and shucked his boots and jeans. He stood in
front of her naked, a man proud of what his body was. He quickly pulled her bra
off and then undid her jeans allowing her to kick them and her shoes off. He
quickly noted the two runes low on her left hip before he spun her around and
bent to study the runes running down her spine. There was also one fading just
beneath her barcode.
He
pulled Max’s hands up from where they fell beside her, making her lift her hair
and hold it on top of her head before he attacked the small fading rune first.
He
made small little cat like licks at first, blowing softly over the wet spot,
smiling when her body trembled slightly. He started to gently suck at the rune,
running his hands up and down her sides, softly, enjoying the feeling of her
skin forming goose bumps in his wake. He then snaked one hand around to her breast
and pinched at the hard nipple when he bit down on the mark at her back.
Max’s
back arched and she cried out. She wasn’t sure if it was in ecstasy or pain,
but it was something she felt through her whole body. Alec pulled away and
looked at her ass as her body shuddered at the combined feelings. She was
jiggling again. And Alec decided that he could no longer be held accountable
for any of his actions tonight. Girls just shouldn’t jiggle like that
where he could see it.
Max’s
legs were shaky, almost as though she had orgasmed already. Her hands dropped
from her head and reached behind her trying to find Alec. He grabbed her and
shoved her in the direction of his bed, pushing her down face first into the
comforter. Max’s whole body tensed at the feeling of the cold material on her
hot skin, but relaxed when Alec climbed on top of her, laying himself over her,
his mouth kissing Max’s jaw where her head was turned so she could breathe.
Alec
pulled himself up and slowly worked his way down her back and began to make
marks over the other runes running down her spine. When nothing could be seen
on her back except dark purple marks and red teeth imprints Alec sat up on his
knees and inspected his handiwork.
Max
was squirming, rubbing her hips against the bed, her hands were wrapped in the
covers fisting and relaxing over and over again, her breathing was laboured
where she had buried her head into the comforter, her toes were curling and her
ankles rotated as she moved her body.
Alec
smiled to himself. He knew exactly what she was feeling right now. “Turn over.”
She
rose to his command and turned immediately, propping herself up on her elbows.
“Alec, what did you do to me?”
“What
I wanted to. And I’m not finished. Lay back.” Max raised an eyebrow at him and
he growled at her. “Now.”
Max
relaxed back and jumped when he yanked her knees further apart and drove one
finger into her. As quickly as it was in her it was gone again and her small
cry of disappointment was not lost on either of them. Alec kneeled over her and
put his finger to her lips and waited for her to take it into her mouth. Waited
for her to suck her own juices off his finger. He ran the back of his wet
knuckle across her bottom lip and when her tongue slipped out he pushed his
finger in to her mouth, making her bite down before he pushed to far and gagged
her. She gave one last savage bite that left his skin broken and released his
finger from her mouth. Alec fell onto her bodily and kissed her hungrily,
re-splitting her top lip.
Alec ground
his body into Max’s, jerking against her when her fingernails dug gouges into
his shoulders. He pulled away quickly, and she let her nails scratch down his
arms. Alec’s head bowed before her and his mouth settled over one of the runes
on her left hip. With his hands holding her hips as hard as he was, Max
realised that he wouldn’t be moving them anytime soon, so she put her own
fingers to her nipples and pinched at them lightly, gently scratching her nails
across them. Alec’s hands left her hips and grasped her hands hard over her
breasts. Max lifted her head and looked down to see Alec’s eyes on their hands.
He gave one last hard little bite to her hip, squeezing her hands and breasts
as he did so before lifting his head.
He
moved his hands so they were under hers on her breasts. “Show me how hard you
like it Max.”
Max’s
breath left her body all in one rush and she was light-headed again. She
couldn’t answer for lack of air. Alec crawled up her body uncovering her
breasts and leaning on one shoulder he used his other hand to wrap it around
her neck and squeeze sightly. “Show me Max.”
Max
pulled his hand off her neck and pushed it violently down to her breast. Using
his thumb and forefinger she pinched her nipple hard enough to elicit a small
groan. She then used his hand to cup her breast and squeezed roughly in a way
that had her pushing a loud moan out past her sore throat. Alec threw her hand
out to the side of her body and pinched her nipple hard. Hard enough to hurt
with out any of the pleasure. Max’s eyes flew open and snapped to his.
“Next
time I tell you to do something Maxie. Do it.” She nodded and pulled him in for
a kiss, quickly rolling so she was on top, straddled over his hips. She ground
against him a few times before he flipped them again, driving his hips against
hers in a parody of what he was going to do to her when he was finally inside
her. He just had one rune left to cover first. Max moved to flip them again but
Alec held her to the bed.
“You
can be on top next time.”
“What
makes you think there will be a next time?” Max arched as Alec bit her stomach.
“You
think this will be over in one shot Max?”
“Don’t
know, don’t care. Don’t stop!”
Max
was writhing against Alec’s finger that was slowly sliding back and forth
against her clit as his mouth attacked the last visible rune.
Giving
one last savage bite on the rune and drawing blood, Alec drove two fingers up
into Max, driving his hand into her rapidly as he moved himself up her body.
Feeling her start to clench around him, he pulled his fingers out sliding them
over her clit before bringing them up to his mouth.
Max,
breathless, fixed her eyes on his as he sucked her juices off one of his
fingers. He then pushed the other one into Max’s mouth moving it in and out
suggestively, mimicking the movements of his hips against hers. Taking his
finger out of her mouth Alec waited until her eyes were open and on his again
and smirked.
“You’re
gonna be one hell of a ride Maxie.”
“You’ll
never know if you don’t hurry up and fuck me while I still want it.”
“Oh,
you still want it and you’ll want it when I’m done too.”
“Yap
yap yap Alec. I always knew you’d be too busy running at the mouth to actually
get the job done. You need- Oh!”
Alec thrust
into Max with all the power of a transgenic proving that he was more than up to
the job. He pulled out and thrust in again holding his hips to Max’s. “Still
don’t think I can get the job done?”
“Jesus
Alec, what are you stopping for? Move dammit!” Max dug her fingernails into
Alec’s ass leaving little crescents of blood, Alec started moving again.
Alec
wrapped his hands under Max’s shoulders and used the leverage to move harder
and faster into her tight wet pussy. Max’s feet were planted firmly in the bed
beside Alec’s thighs pushing against him in rhythm to his thrusts against her.
“Feels
good doesn’t it Maxie? Feels hot.”
“It
would feel better if you would shut up and let me concentrate!” They were both
breathing hard, but his next line took the oxygen out of the room for her.
“You
know what feels best? I like how tight your cunt is around my cock.”
“Jesus
Alec!” Max lost all rhythm as she stopped moving in shock. No one had ever
used that kind of language with her. Especially when in bed with her. Alec
grinned and moved his mouth to her neck and attacked the bruised skin with his
teeth. Using her moment of brief brainlessness to hook one of her legs up over
his shoulder, Alec moved his hand down her side and squeezed her ass before
sliding it round to pinch her clit.
Max’s
blood was raging through her hot body. She was flushed pink from her head to
her belly button and it was slowly creeping lower.
Suddenly
Alec’s hand moved from Max’s shoulder to her neck and for a brief few seconds
cut off her air. Max’s mouth flew open and he covered it with his own,
relieving the pressure from her neck but not removing it completely.
Max
was breathing in a way that was close to hyperventilating and the lack of
oxygen to her brain was again making her light headed. Alec gnawed his way down
her jaw and to her neck, giving her free access to the air she so desperately
needed and as she lay there struggling to pull in as much oxygen as she could
he moved his hand back around to squeeze her ass again, slipping the tip of one
moist finger into her anus, biting down on her pulse point.
Max
came with a flash of blinding white light, all the muscles in her body
clenching up, her arms locked behind Alec’s back, her fingers digging in to his
shoulders, her nails drawing blood. The muscles in her chest and abdomen not
relaxing enough to release the scream she could hear in her head at the intense
pleasure she felt.
Alec
continued to thrust into her now even tighter and wetter pussy and felt himself
lose his control when her muscles started to relax and contract around his
cock.
It
took minutes for Max to return to her mind enough to function, but as soon as
she did she laid a hard stinging slap to Alec’s ass.
His head
reared up from where he had been slowly, with small cat-like licks, attending
to the bleeding wound over her pulse point.
“What
the fuck?”
“You
just shocked me into orgasm!”
“Well,
yeah. It worked didn’t it?” Max was considering throwing him off the bed but
thought better of it. One, she didn’t think she had the strength to fight him
when he got back on it, and two, it was his bed, and after what he had just
done to her, for her, it probably would have been considered rude. Before she
could get a word in regarding the matter Alec continued talking. “And Max, not
that I mind the slapping, but you might wanna keep it for foreplay, cause now
it just hurts.”
“You’re
such a baby. Do you hear me complaining at the damage my body’s taken?”
Alec
leaned back on his elbows and knees as they both looked down at the marks that
proved just how thoroughly Alec had ravaged her body.
“I
didn’t hear you complain about anything.” Alec commented as he slipped off Max
to lie on his back beside her. Max reached over and pinched one of Alec’s
nipples. He rolled onto his side hauling her to his body and spooned her. “More
later. Sleep now.”
“Gee
Alec, and here I thought it was gonna be one hell of a ride.”
“No, you
were gonna be one hell of a ride. And you were. We’ll pick this up again after
the cat nap.”
“I
don’t do cat naps. I don’t sleep much at all. So to keep me here, what are you
gonna do?”
“Jesus
Max! You talk about me being a yapper. Just lie still and relax for a while,
build up your strength a little, because as soon as I have, we’re gonna go
another round. You’re on top next time, remember?” Alec’s eyes were closed and
his breathing deep as he slowly faded to sleep.
Max
closed her eyes and let her body relax. “You need to work on your dismount.”
