“Hey boo, you pack’n up already?”
Max slammed her locker shut, hand lingering on the lock. She glanced at OC and shrugged. “Yeah, I was thinking of stopping by Logan’s. I haven’t seen him in over a week, and he hasn’t called.”
OC rested a hand reassuringly on Max’s shoulder. “He’s probably been busy with his ‘job’. But I’m sure he could use the extra company.”
Max smiled reassuringly and pulled on her jacket. “Thanks, hun. I’ll be home later tonight.”
OC stepped back and allowed Max to pass her. “Tell Logan I say hi!”
“I will!” Max called back.

Logan rested his forehead against the cool glass door of his shower and let the water cascade over his head. He moaned and closed his eyes as Alec’s strong fingers worked to loosen his shoulder muscles.
“Easy there,” Alec purred in his ear, “don’t want you losing your footing.”
“Mhm…” Logan couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend the evening.
“Come here.” Alec’s hands moved to Logan’s waist and turned him around.
The sight before Logan was enough to make him weak in the knees. Alec’s teasing eyes, crooked smile, and finely toned chest… it took his breath away.
“Isn’t that cute?” Alec chuckled and leaned close. “Logan Cale rendered speechless.”
Logan raised his thumb and brushed a bead of water away from Alec’s bottom lip. “That’s just between you and me, right?”
“Of course,” Alec licked the top of his finger. “The last thing I want is to know your enemies are serenading you in the shower when I’m not around.”
Logan reached both hands behind Alec and cupped the young man’s butt. “You really are a smart ass.”
“Smart Alec.” He corrected, adding emphasis by grinding their hips together. He watched Logan’s eyes close in pleasure. “You know you love it.”
“And I’d love to stay here all day…”
“But?”
“Eyes Only is due to make a report tonight.” Logan said regretfully, dragging one hand up to burry in Alec’s soft brown locks. “Think we can postpone this for awhile?”
“Right now?” Alec sighed heavily and pursed his lips. He never liked to make things easier.
Logan stole a quick kiss. “I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Alec slid the shower door open and stepped out backwards. He held his left hand up like a gun and pointed it at Logan. “I have you whipped!”
“And my rug wet.”

Max slipped inside Logan’s apartment with ease and shrugged out of her jacket. It had only been a week, but his living space had definitely changed. The walls that had been bare after he sold most of his paintings; mysteriously regained their decorations, along with pieces of art she had never seen before. Her curiosity was peeked immediately. She passed through the kitchen and eyed the bowl of fresh fruit sitting at the centre of one counter, then followed a light melody coming from the radio in Logan’s study. She found Logan there, drying his hair with a hand towel, and reading over something his computer was displaying.
Max smiled, loving the fresh scent coming off of him. “Hey there.”
Logan spun to face her, dropping the towel on the floor in the process. “Max! What are you doing here?”
He didn’t look as pleased as she had been hoping for. Max’s smile faltered. “I just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing…”
“Hey Logan, I cleaned up the mess in the bathroom…”
Both of them looked up as Alec appeared in the doorway, wet haired, with a toothbrush wagging out of his mouth. He was tugging on a pair of Logan’s jeans, but stopped short of buttoning them when he sensed he was being watched. He glanced up and gaped at Max, his toothbrush dangerously close to falling from his lips. “Uh, hey Max.”
An uncomfortable silence fell over them as all three exchanged confused and worried looks. No one wanted to break the silence, for fear of what would be said.
Finally Alec took the initiative, by donning an award winning smile. “Logan here was putting up with me and letting me use his shower. My hot water kicked the proverbial bucket.”
“And you decided to wear his pants, too?”
Unfazed, Alec gave her a wink and shook the toothbrush between his lips. “Ah Max, you know how much I love to impose myself on others.” He turned to Logan who was looking very uncomfortable. “Thanks for not kicking me out on the curb! I’ll go grab my clothes.”
“Wait!” Alec and Max turned to stare at him. Logan cleared his throat nervously and scrubbed a shaky hand across his eyes. “Max, I don’t ever want to lie to you.”
Max unconsciously tightened her grip on her jacket. “What are you talking about?”
“I’ve been sleeping with Alec.”
Max’s expression was difficult to read. Several emotions crossed her face, and her fist became white knuckled under the pressure she was putting on her leather jacket. “But, you’re not serious.”
Logan met her eyes and held her gaze for several long moments, silently willing her to understand. “Yes, we are.”
Alec hadn’t expected Logan’s answer, and neither had Max. She pushed past Alec and made a quick retreat.
Logan moved to follow, but Alec was already ahead of him. “No, I’ve got this!”
Alec caught up to her just as she reached her motorcycle. “Max, wait a god damn minute!”
Max spun on her heals and landed a fist squarely in his jaw. He recoiled and dodged another furious punch.
“Damn it, Max! Stop! He loves you!”
“Bullshit!” She cried back. “How could you do this to me?”
“You’re right!” Alec held his arms out to the side, leaving his bare chest open for her. “It’s my fault! Don’t blame Logan!”
She shoved him backwards into the wall of the building, and jabbed a finger at him accusingly. “Leave me alone, Alec. You never think of any one but yourself!”
“Same with you!” He shot back, daring her to hit him again. “You can’t even touch Logan! I only offered him what you couldn’t give him. Don’t blame him for needing someone!”
“Needing?” Max’s voice was cold and cut like a knife. “You did this to us, and now you think you have something serious with him? It’s not going to last. He’s going to see you for what you really are; a shallow, contradicting, megalomaniac JACK ASS!”

Logan was sitting in his leather arm chair in the living room when Alec returned. He glanced up, eyes obviously red from crying. Alec stood in the hallway. They watched each other for minutes; Alec waiting for him to say something, and Logan unwilling or unable to.
Finally, Alec crossed the room, his troubled hazel eyes on Logan until he reached the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
Logan listened to the sound of the shower running, and imagined Alec wet and naked, massaging his back and pressing kisses against his collar bone. He could still feel the young man’s fingers ghosting across his waist; reaching around to hold his aching cock. The thoughts warmed him and reminded him exactly why he had told Max. Hopefully now she could move on and find someone she could touch.
Alec slipped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Logan was waiting for him in the hallway. He swept Alec into his arms and gave him a bruising kiss.
“Uh, Logan?” Alec pulled away slightly and gave him a nervous smile. “About what you said earlier?”
“I meant it.” Logan replied softly, petting Alec’s bare damp back. “And I hope it’s the same for you.”
“I came back, didn’t I?” Alec chuckled softly. “But if that’s not obvious enough…. Yeah. I’m game.”
“Good.” Logan walked him backward towards the master bedroom. “Now I’m going to make up for earlier.”
Alec wrapped his arms around Logan’s waist and smiled. “Thanks for giving me a chance.”
