***EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING: SEX***

The entire drive back to Maxim's place, Ally wondered if she was really making the best decision. Max was talking softly the whole drive so they weren't in total silence, but she was so far off in her own thoughts that she hardly noticed. All she could think about was if she was really willing to sleep with another guy.

It wasn't as though Elias was her first time. She had always been pretty popular even when she was supposedly an alpha and had been with a few different guys since high school, even as recently as a few weeks before meeting Elias. Yet for some reason, the more she thought about having sex with Maxim, the more her stomach began to churn, and not the nervous kind. She was beginning to wonder if maybe she was feeling motion sick because of the car.

"We're here," Maxim said as they pulled into a car park and gestured to the modest apartment complex. "It's nothing flashy, but its close to uni and cheap."

Ally got out of the car and found herself holding onto her purse more firmly than she normally would. She followed Max into the building and up a flight of stairs, then down the hall to the last doorway. He unlocked the door and held it open for her to go inside, which she did as normally as she could. 

"You can put your stuff down over there," Max gestured to a spot in the living room. "Did you want a drink of anything? Tea? Coffee?"

"No, thanks," Ally said softly as she put her purse down and slid off her heels.

Max threw his jacket over the back of a chair and made his way over to her, until they were standing only a breath apart. She was surprised at how much taller than her he really was without her shoes on, and was horrified to realise that she immediately wondered if Elias was taller. Stop thinking about him, you idiot, she told herself and reached out to touch Max's arm. If she had been in this exact situation a year ago, she would've been beyond happy.

"You're beautiful, Ally," Max murmured and reached out to trace her shoulder, making his way up to her cheek. "I've always thought it, but even more so now."

He leaned in and kissed her softly, as if he was scared that she was about to run away. Part of her wanted to. But the part of her that wanted to forget about Elias won out and she could herself tangling her hands in his hair and pulling him into a deeper kiss. She heard his muffled moan between their lips as her tongue traced his lip, his hands reached around to the back of her dress to find the zipper. He unzipped her dress slowly, savouring the sensation as more of her skin was exposed, lips leaving hers to move to her neck, then her collarbone. As he reached the bottom of the zip, he pulled the dress down, so that she was standing only in her bra and underwear. 

Max took a step back and looked her up and down, eyes flashing yellow as he drank in the sight of her nearly naked body. Ally only had a moment warning before he pushed her backwards and she dropped onto the couch, then his lips were on hers again as his hands roamed her body. Everywhere he touched left her skin hot and tingling, and she knew it should feel good. He was doing everything right. 

So why was that nauseousness from before coming back? That deep feeling of discomfort in her chest that made her want to push him away? She wanted to be here. She wanted him to touch her. 

She pushed the immediate thought of Elias' heartbroken face out of her head. That would never happen. He had made it clear that he didn't want her, why would he care if she slept with someone else? She didn't belong to him.

Desperate to get rid of the feeling, Ally's reached down and grabbed the bottom of Max's shirt and pulled it over his head, then let her hands roam over his chest. He was more built than she had thought he was, but it didn't come as too much of a surprise considering he was an Alpha. She felt his hands reach around and undo her bra, and shivered involuntarily as his fingers began to tease her nipple. He moved down so that his lips found her other nipple and began to use his tongue to tease her, swirling around until her nipples perked. 

Ally felt her thoughts drifting back to that night, and immediately pushed them away. She concentrated on the feel of Max's tongue on her nipple, his hand on her thigh, his hard length pressed against her through his pants, the heat of his touch on her.

It wasn't enough. She pushed him off her and flipped him so that she was on top of him, ignoring the look of surprise on his face as she took over. She made quick work of removing his pants and briefs, leaving him laying naked underneath her, his cock throbbing with want. She glanced up at his eyes and saw the desire there, and felt some of that discomfort from early fade, as she bent down and took his length inside her mouth. 

She heard him moan loudly, one of his hands tangled in her hair as she bobbed her head up and down along his length, letting her tongue press against him as she moved. She felt him quivering underneath her, could smell his pheromones increase with each movement she made, but to her horror that sick feeling in her stomach only worsened. He smelt all wrong, tasted all wrong, sounded all wrong. Even as he whimpered her name, the sound of the word coming off his tongue was like someone dragging their fingers down a blackboard.

Ally pulled away and began to rub her hand up and down as she reached down and pulled off her underwear with the other. Max didn't hesitate to move his own hand between her thighs, gently finding his way to her core and brushing up against her clit. She gasped, which he mistook for pleasure, as she had to bite back bile. She pulled her hand away from his length and grabbed onto the couch as his fingers made their way to her opening, lingering there for a moment, before sliding inside.

She bit her tongue as Max's finger began to move, her body in a mixed state of pleasure and rejection. She was conflicted between wanting to push him away and pulling him closer, feeling pleasure at the way his finger moved in her at the same time that it made her feel like throwing up. She gasped as he slid a second finger inside and began to move faster, again mistaking the sound for one of pleasure.

She closed her eyes tightly and focused only on the pleasure, trying to forget the other feelings. Focus only on the feeling of how his fingers moved in her, brushed against her sensitive spot, just like they had that time---

The moment Elias flashed through her thoughts, that feeling of sickness became too much.

"Stop," she whimpered, and to his credit, Max stopped immediately. He withdrew his fingers and sat up, eyes full of concern she didn't deserve.

"What's wrong? Was it... not..."

Immediately, she felt awful. "No, it was good. Really, it was. I just... I can't do this, I'm sorry." 

Max watched her for a moment before he nodded slowly and pulled further away, unable to hide the confusion in his eyes. "Is it because of that guy? The doctor?"

Ally felt her face flush. "W-What? No! No way!"

"You're not a great liar, Ally," Max chuckled, trying to ease the tension. "I mean, it was pretty obvious from the way he was acting that he wasn't just your doctor. An ex?"

She grimaced, "Something like that..."

"Ah... sure," he nodded and grabbed his pants, putting them back on casually. "Recent?"

"Yeah."

"I understand," Max smiled, and she remembered with a pang of guilt that he had been dating someone until recently too. "Look, my offer still stands for you to crash here for the night, since it's late. But I get that you probably wouldn't feel comfortable here anymore..."

"Thank you, but I'll call my brother," Ally grabbed her dress and laid it across her body so that she wasn't so exposed.

"Okay, sure. Uh, well, I'm going to go shower, you'll probably be gone by the time I am done."

"Yeah, probably."

Max cleared his throat and looked away awkwardly, "I'll see you at uni sometime?"

Ally nodded as he walked off towards the back of the apartment, and sighed heavily. She rummaged into her purse to find her phone and sent Gabe a message to pick her up, then laid back on the couch. That nauseousness from before was almost completely gone now. As if her body knew that she wasn't going to have sex with someone else. The moment she had thought about Elias while she was with Max, her body had without a doubt rejected being with another male. Even if she had tried to ignore it with all of her might, she had to accept that despite logic, she still wanted Elias. Even though he had no interest in her.

"Well, isn't that fucking fantastic."
