This is what I think happened canonly, don't come at me!

**

Alejandro couldn't stop thinking about what happened on the plane while he and his team were doing the Sweden challenge. Of course he was focused on the game, but he couldn't get Heather's death glare at him and Courtney out of his head. Something about it was just so...sexy. He actually had some trouble pretending to ignore her and resist the temptation to look at her. He laughed to himself, his heart fluttering at the thought of her saying all those crazy things just so he'd pay attention to her. He thought it was adorable, but he'd never admit out loud that he was starting to have feelings for her. This is a game, Alejandro, he told himself. You have to focus on strategy and winning. Not her.

Now they were all heading back to the plane after the challenge. Thank goodness! It was freezing out there! He was about to walk into first class with his fellow teammates when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Heather. He opened his mouth to speak but she interrupted.

"We need to talk. Now."

He raised an eyebrow. "Qué?"

"Come here!" She snapped, grabbing his hand and dragging him all the way to the cargohold. He couldn't even get a word in before she pushed him up against the storage boxes. "Okay, what is your problem?!"

Is she seriously talking about earlier? "Surely, I do not have to explain it to you. We are in a competition?"

"Oh, sure. So picking off my teammates while you totally blank me is strategy now?!" She glared with a grip grip on his shirt collar.

Alejandro smirked. "Indeed it is. When dealing with jealousy."

"I am not jealous, you arrogant-"

"Of course, I refer to Courtney. I must make her believe no one else exists for me. If she's focused on us, you can blindside her." He took his hand and gently stroked her cheek. "Believe me, Heather. The only woman I want to look at is you."

Her expression suddenly weakened and her voice lost all its confidence. "Heh, that's... you're so... w-whatev."

He looked into her silver eyes, gently smiling at her. She slumped her shoulders and reciprocated that smile. Maybe just one kiss won't hurt-

Suddenly, the loud speaker came on and the air filled with Chris's voice. "All losers, please report to the elimination area! All losers!"

Heather looked back at him after the announcement was over, that same beautiful smile across her pink and plump lips. "Now go vote her off already," Alejandro said with a devious smirk. She nodded, again, reciprocating his smile.

"I-I will," she stammered, as if she were coming back to reality.

That was the last straw for him. "Heather?" She looked at him. "Whenever the elimination ceremony's over, could you come back down here?"

She blinked. "Um...why?"

"We weren't done talking."

She looked confused for a moment. A light pink blush appeared on her cheeks and she nodded. "Ok."

Alejandro waited there for what felt like hours. The longer he waited, the more he wanted to see her again. Fuck, what if she lied and she's not coming back down here? That's something she'd definitely do. Alejandro, you fucking idiot. He was about to go back up to first class when he heard footsteps.

To his surprise, Heather showed up. "Turns out it was a damn reward challenge," she retorted. "Ugh, I'm so sick of Courtney being here! I don't know if I can take another week with her-"

"I thought you weren't jealous...?" He raised an eyebrow.

"And I'm not!"

"It was so sweet how you desperately craved my attention earlier today. 'Someone look at my booty!' Ah, classic."

Her eyes widened and her blush darkened. "I was not trying to get your attention! I swear I sat in gum! Sierra is disgusting and leaves it all over the place!"

"And Sierra had to tell you you were fine like three times before you finally gave up," he smirked.

"Well...I didn't believe her! I needed someone else to tell me!"

"Hmm...me?"

"No!"

"No one else was around except you, me, Courtney, and Sierra."

"Well...maybe I was asking Courtney! Anything to divert her attention away from y-" she gasped when she realized what she had just said.

Alejandro chuckled. "Caught you, chica." He stepped closer to her. Heather tensed but didn't move away.

"I didn't-I didn't mean it like that! It's just...you're so annoying and...I know what you're doing to all those girls! Courtney needs to be protected! That's why I want her out of the game!"

He brought his hand to her chin so he could look her in the eyes. "Heather," he whispered. "You wouldn't even be able to convince Lindsay with that one."

"Sh-shut up, jerk." She blushed wildly.

"Ah, but you only say that because you know I'm right."

"But you're not right!" She struggled to keep her glare. He smirked cockily, inching closed to her. He could hear her breath speed up. It was in sync with his. His lips ghosted over hers.

He ever so slowly put his lips on hers. But it wasn't a quick kiss like it was with Bridgette. The moment he felt her soft lips, he is it wanted more. He deepened the kiss. He felt her hands travel from his shoulders to his chest and he shuddered. Dios, no woman's touch has ever made me feel so weak! He snaked his arm around her waist, loving the feel of her small frame.

The kiss became so heated that Alejandro couldn't help but trail his lips down her neck. He heard her gasp lightly then start panting. He quickly brought his lips back up to hers and kissed her harder with a lot more passion than the first time.

Heather started kissing his neck in one spot over and over again. He groaned with pleasure. She has such perfect lips...

He pulled her close enough to where their bodies were touching, running his hands up and down her hips. Heather suddenly stepped back, her face bright red.

"...What's wrong?" He breathed.

"You're, um...down there," she motioned her head to his nether region.

Fuck. Alejandro blushed. "Oh, uh...yes, yes I am." He tried desperately to sound confident.

"Was that from...?" She motioned between him and herself.

He nodded, still feeling weak from their intense makeout session. She turns me on way too much.

She smirked. She walked back towards him and kissed him again, ever so slowly. "Do you want help with that?"

There's no way she asked what she just asked! "...Huh?"

"Do you want me to help you with your...hard problem?"

His voice was caught in his throat for a moment. This has to be some stupid fantasy dream I'm having! "If you want." His heart sped up.

This felt like a bigger deal than it should've. Alejandro had slept with women before. This wasn't anything new. But it was Heather. The girl who was currently driving him absolutely insane. He loved everything about her. Her looks, her personality, the way she carried herself. He thought of her with other men and it made him angry. Fuck, I really like this girl.

They started kissing again. He picked her up and sat her on one of the boxes, taking his shirt off. Heather tried not to gape in awe at his perfectly sculpted abdomen. Her eyes kept wandering there as they kissed some more. Alejandro noticed and smirked. "You are so attracted to me, Heather."

"Why do you think I'm doing this with you, moron?!"

He laughed, kissing and licking her shoulder. "Mmm...you taste so good."

"Ugh...c-cannibal," she half scoffed, half moaned.

"Tell me," he breathed. "How many times have you done this before?"

"Um...none."

"Wait...you're a virgin?!"

"Yes," she rolled her eyes. "It's not like you need to say it out loud."

He looked away for a moment. He'd never hooked up with a virgin before, and he didn't want her to regret this. Especially her.. "Heather...maybe we shouldn't be doing this."

"Why not? Are you scared, Alejandro?" She mocked.

"Scared?" He laughed. "Anything but it."

"Then what's the problem, hmm?" She traced her fingernails down his chest and abdomen.

Fuck, I can't concentrate when she does that. He gently grabbed her hands. "How far have you gone with a guy?"

"Just kissing."

"Oh, so you have...zero experience."

"Stop saying it out loud!"

"Hey, these are important questions to ask! I need to make sure you're actually ready for this."

Heather began kissing his neck again. "I am," she muttered against his skin.

"It's-ahh," he breathed out with pleasure. "I-it's going to hurt. I'll be as gentle as possible but it's still going to."

"I know that." She pulled away. "Do you not want this?"

Alejandro inhaled sharply at the absence of her lips. "N-No, I do! God, I really do." Fuck, I sound desperate.

"Then don't try to scare me out of it, Casanova."

"I'm not trying to scare you, hermosa. It's the truth. Just warning you." He began to sensually rub up and down her thighs.

Her breathing became heavy and she shut her eyes, enjoying the sensation. I can not believe I'm letting him do this. His hands are perfect.

I can not believe she's letting me do this, Alejandro thought. I've wanted her for so long. More than I've wanted any other woman. This is all strategic, he had to remind himself. There are no feelings involved. I just need whatever ittakes to get closer to Heather and throw her off her game. He lightly tugged at her shorts. "Are you sure?" He asked once more.

"Yes," she nodded quickly, desperately.

**

Heather's legs felt like jelly. The indescribable sensation she had just a moment ago took over her whole body and made her weak and relaxed. It made up for all the pain she felt in the beginning.

Alejandro struggled to control his breathing. All the pent up energy he had for weeks was finally released. He rested his head on her shoulder.

"I don't think I'll be able to stand..." she breathed out.

He chuckled. "Then allow me to find your clothes and carry you out of here."

"Ew! No way! That would look suspicious. I'll manage to walk. I just need a minute."

"Take your time, chica." He handed her her clothes and got dressed himself. Heather stayed sitting on one of the boxes as she got dressed. "It's such a shame that you have to get dressed. Your body is incredible."

She blushed. "Was...was I actually good or are you just telling me this to make me swoon helplessly over you?"

"You were actually more than good. Trust me, all that breathing I did in the end was not fake. I think we should do this every time we have sexual frustration," He smirked.

"Oh no," she shook her head. "That was one time. ONE. I'm not doing that again." She slowly stood up.

"Alright," he shrugged, hiding his major disappointment. Fuck, I will never feel like that again.

"And by the way, I'm still kicking your team's butt and winning this game."

"That's what you think."

"No! It's what I KNOW! I've been on this show way too long to give up now!"

Now that's the fiery attitude I like. Alejandro smirked. "You may think you have the upper hand, but I know plenty of things you don't."

"Oh, sure," she rolled her eyes. "I am never coming down here to hook up with you again! So don't get any ideas!"

The next night, Heather snuck into the cargo hold with Alejandro for another hookup session. The thing was, she couldn't help it. Something about him made her want more and more. He made her feel so desperate, and she didn't like it. She was always the one in control of her feelings.

Alejandro was at battle with his mind. Is this...thing we're doing strategic or not? She's so addictive. He felt desperate around her. More desperate than he initially planned. And he didn't like it. He was always the one in control of his feelings.

Both of them were driving each other to the point of insanity. Desperation. Words they never associated with themselves before.
