Dark Angel - Max/Zack - short story

[Dana0715]

Rating - Definite smut so NC17 rating. If you're under 18, go elsewhere!

This takes place in Season 1 during Max's last heat cycle of Season 1 (the episode "Meow!"). My idea is simply if Max ran into Zack a couple of days earlier while she's in the midst of her heat cycle instead of Rafer...... you will find some of the dialogue in my fic from the episode "Meow". I'm starting this where Max realizes she's in heat and the next day she's explaining the heat cycle to her best friend Original Cindy

------------------------------------
OC was sitting in her apartment staring at Max in openmouthed shock. She had a dumbfounded look on her face, shaking her head at Max in disbelief, "You’re joking, right?"

Max sighed tiredly and plopped down next to OC on the couch, "I wish! It’s yet another of the frightening biological facts of my rotten, miserable life!"

"So how often does this estrus-cycle b!tch happen?"

Max shrugged, "Two, maybe three times a year." She looked imploringly at OC, "It’s awful! I get this uncontrollable craving. For sex!"

OC was thinking this over, "So, basically, because of this feline DNA that you got in you, every few months you run around acting like an average male?"

Max scoffed, rolling her eyes, "You know, somehow guys can pull it off. I just turn into this freak show!"

OC was trying to think of a plan, "You could always lock yourself in a closet until it’s over with."

Max shook her head, "Tried that. Blew the door right off the hinges."

OC's eyes widened, "Day-umn girl!"

"Trust me. It's bad! If you see me going to the dark side, do me a favor. Smack me really hard right in the face."

OC's eyebrows raised to her hairline, "For real??"

"Please! It’s the only thing that seems to work."

OC chuckles, then nods, "Okay. You got it! What are friends for, if not to knock each other around once in a while huh?"

Max wanders over to the window and looks at some men working below. She focuses on one guy, biting her lip and looking the guy over

"Oohh. Look at hot boy down there. He’s got some biceps on him. Mmm."

"Don’t make me put the smackdown on your ass already Boo!"

Max nodded and sighed dreamily as OC pulled her away from the window, "Yeah. But he's FINE!!"

OC pushes her to the door, ordering, "Walk! Let's get you outta here and into some fresh air!"

---------------------------------
Max was gathering her gear from her locker at Jam Pony and she asked OC, "Do I look flushed to you?"

OC was getting tired of this, "You’re trippin’, Boo! You got an itch, go scratch. It ain’t gotta be all complicated, either. The male mind understands the difference between love and sex. Let me give you an example......" She looks around and points at one of the messengers, "Sketchy! Come here!"

Sketchy approaches, trying to act suave, "Hello, ladies. What can I do for you?"

OC grabs his shirt roughly and just stated the following without warning to Sketchy, "I wanna get busy with you."

Sketchy knew OC was a lesbian, but if she wanted HIM instead, well.....

"Outstanding!" Sketchy answered with a smile

Max smiles at Sketchy in a kittenish way, then catches herself and looks away and trying to calm her hormones down.

OC had a finger waving in front of Sketchy, "But I want you to forget about it as soon as it’s over."

Sketchy shrugged, "Yeah, no problem."

OC was waving her finger and her head with it, "And don’t be following me around, all moo-eyed and 'Baby, I love you.'"

Sketchy's hands were up in surrender, "Sure! Whatever you say!"

OC turns to Max triumphantly, "See what I mean? No complications."

Sketchy touches OC's shoulders and murmurs, "Um... So when are we gonna do this?"

OC slaps his hands off of her and yells, "Get away from me, fool, ’fore I put you in a world of hurt!"

She shoves him away. Sketchy shakes his head, "Damn! I knew it! Too good to be true!"

Max and Original Cindy walk away from Sketchy, continuing their conversation

Max was mournful, "OC! I’m not gonna just hit it with some guy. That’s how I hooked up with Leo and Darren and Eric, almost. Total disasters that never would’ve happened if I wasn’t a teenage Frankenstein created by people at Manticore."

OC answered her, "Fine, so you don’t wanna be ’bout it with just anybody. What about Logan?"

Max whirled around to look at her in shock. OC grinned, "Somebody you’re into I mean." OC clarified for Max

Max was waving her hands and shaking her head, "No! That’s not what I want to happen with us." Then she narrowed her eyes at OC, "Besides! We’re not even like that!"

OC clearly didn't believe her when she replied, "Sure! Whatever you say."

Max was jumping in place, "God! Can we stop talking about scratching? I wanna beat this b!tch." She points at OC, "You got my back? Right?"

OC rolls her eyes and asks with a smile, "Who’s your girl?"

Max stops jumping, turns back around and nearly collides into a guy delivering a pizza into Jam Pony. She looks him over, checking him out and smiles flirtatiously

The cute delivery guy smiles back and asks, "Uh, did, uh, someone order a large sausage?"

Max grinned wider at the double entendre while the delivery guy turns red. OC drags Max by the sleeve of her jacket out the door, but Max's eyes never leave the delivery guy's until she's outside and out of sight

"Oh c'mon OC, he's so CUUUUTE! Why not him? You just said if I had an itch to go scratch!"

"Got any condoms on you?" OC asked her

Max pouted, "No."

"Then get protection first." OC looked across the street and saw Zack standing with his arms folded, watching them

OC smiled, "I think help's on the way Boo! Check out who's across the street."

Max turned and caught a glimpse of Zack. She turned away quickly, "Oh my God!"

"What is it?" OC asked, suddenly concerned

"It's like my hormones just went into overdrive!! Upon seeing....... ZACK!! But he's my brother!"

"Not technically Boo. You were in the same unit in Manticore, you two are close..... why NOT him?"

Zack jogged across the street and took Max by the arm. Since he was being so forceful, OC was ready to change her mind and protect Max at all costs, "Original Cindy, I got this." he told her shortly as he began to pull Max away quickly

OC stood her ground, keeping hold of Max's other arm. They were having a tug of war with Max being in the middle, "You're not taking Boo anywhere yet Bro! Not until you tell me you'll take care of her and USE PROTECTION!"

"This is a Manticore matter." Zack told her, used to people scurrying to obey his orders and was irritated that OC wasn't taking the hint

"And I'm in on it Zack. Care to explain what's up with my girl?"

Max as on her knees now, clutching her stomach, moaning. Zack stooped down and picked her up, intending to carry her away. He turned back to OC at the last second, "Manticore programmed the X5's with a primal urge to procreate." OC raised an eyebrow and Zack rolled his eyes and sighed, "Fine! To f*ck! Are you happy now?? It's to ensure the X5 line will continue. Once Max here sees another X5 male, human males no longer hold any appeal. So.... we're gonna take off for a couple of days. Can you take care of things with Normal for us? Thanks! I knew you could do it OC!"

Zack takes off without waiting on OC's reply and she yells down the street at him, "You hurt my girl and I hurt you! You hear me??"

Dare I say, gulp. But Zack, oooh, talk about hotness. I remember when he appeared in Xena, that body, those muscles, oh somebody stop me.:D

[Dana0715]

Zack couldn't seem to get Max to a private area quick enough for her liking. He and Tinga got together once about 6 years ago, they were both teenagers and had found each other, she was going through her first heat cycle and he happened to be in the right place at the right time. After it was over, the two of them moved on. She married and he, being the leader of his unit, kept watch secretly over the 11 that left Manticore with him. The only one he couldn't find until recently was Max. Max was more beautiful as a young woman than she ever was at 10 years old and the first time he saw the adult Max, he was smitten.

Now she's in his arms. Might be just due to the heat cycle, but frankly, he was glad to oblige. Not really caring why she won't run to Logan Cale for help, and thankful that her feline hormones are programmed to prefer X5 males

Once he turned a corner, she was already nuzzling his neck, his earlobe, playing with the blonde hair that dusted the collar of his leather jacket. He tried to hide a smile. At least Max lasted a little longer than Tinga did. He was able to get Max to a semi-private area. He and Tinga, on the other hand, were out in the middle of a Colorado plain, she had this idea that she wanted to make love under the moon

Whatever is necessary for his unit, Zack does. Can he help it if he gets a little pleasure out of the duty too? Why not make it fun?

Zack breathed deeply. Max's pheromones were getting to him too. Not only did Manticore place the feline heat cycle in the females, it made tom cats out of males. And all Zack wanted was to breed the female, the primal urge to mate..... NOW!

Ducking into an alley, he couldn't go a step further without a taste. Without a word, he placed Max on her feet, pushed her against the brick wall and kissed her deeply, letting her know without words that he wanted what she wanted

He was crowding her space and she revelled in it. The heat cycle has cranked up to a feverish pitch and Max moaned as Zack took the liberty of squeezing one of her breasts, pinching the nipple hard while still never letting go of her lips

But Max needed more and to show this, she pulled his body flush against hers, rubbing against his body in a sinuous way that left nothing to the imagination as to what she wanted

She felt Zack unfasten the button and unzip her cargo pants she was wearing and he thrust his hand within her pants, underneath her panties, using his two middle fingers to caress her heated, wet core

Max's head was thrown back in bliss, eyes closed as she cried out, "God yes! Please Zack! Please!!"

As Zack nuzzled and nipped her neck, jaw and ear, he thrust two fingers inside her, finally finding her G-spot as he tapped it and simultaneously used a thumb to massage her clitoris, making Max squirm and f*ck herself against his hand

But she knew from experience this wasn't going to be enough. She won't cum until he's inside her. And apparently Zack had experience in this, knowing this, because he worked her to a fever pitch first, but her feline hormones wouldn't let her orgasm until she had sex with her mate

Putting aside her mental questions about where Zack gained this knowledge, she groaned again as Zack nipped her earlobe with his teeth and the slight sting gave a little more impetus for Max, pleasure mingled with pain as she whimpered against his shoulder, dying for the torment to end

Zack finally spoke, his breathing hot and ragged against her ear

"Let me have you." he whispered heatedly, causing Max to want nothing but to have him inside her

In answer, she wiggled out of her pants and underwear in one quick move, toeing off her shoes. Zack released the heated, slick passage he was massaging to replace his fingers with something else. He unzipped his pants, checked quickly to make sure no one was watching, checking above for any hoverdrones and all was clear. He picked her up, pinned her to the wall with his body and drove his cock home inside her in one stroke

Max was going wild. She scratched Zack's back in a effort for him to realize her frantic need, and he met it. He thrust into her again and she yelped in pleasure. He covered her mouth with his again, kissing her brutally and keeping her whimperings quiet from any passersby

It was animalistic, it was primitive, a coupling that would rival any triple-X movie sex scene and Zack kept driving himself inside Max as hard and long as he could, sweat beading on his forehead to hold himself back from cumming until he was sure Max would be with him

"Give yourself to me Max.... cum for me!" Zack demanded as he used a thumb between their bodies to massage her clit again. With her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms locked over his shoulders, he had been able to free one hand to provide the extra stimulation and use his body to pin her against the wall, holding some of her weight up

"ZAACK!!" Max cried out in rapture when she felt the orgasm begin

"I'm here Max! Fly! Go!!" he told her while using his cock now to do all the work, he grabbed the underside of her ass, driving into her hard and fast, knowing since she's another X5 that the harder the f*ck, the better they like it. She was bouncing on him and then biting his neck, trying to keep her cries and whimpers muffled, knowing the dangers if any sector cops come by and not only see two people going at it in an alley, but the barcodes on the back of their necks would tag them for what they really are.

She finally heard Zack give a grunt on the final thrust and she felt him cum inside her in huge spurts, causing Max to explode more until finally they were both spent and exhausted

Max found her footing on the pavement again, but still clinging to Zack with her arms around his neck in a bear hug. Zack's arms were around her too, mostly for the closeness of having the one girl he wanted for years in his arms, but also to protect her modesty since she was almost naked and he still fully clothed

"Think we should take this somewhere private?" Zack asked, his heart still thumping madly underneath Max's ear

"My apartment." she told him

And after Max dressed, she led Zack back to her apartment, and left a scarf tied on the doorknob to signal to OC what Max would be busy doing. She knew OC had enough girlfriends to let her stay with them for a couple of days while she and Zack spent some quality time together

The End
