"Wow, Remy," Nikki laughed, her auburn hair flying back behind her as the crosswind from the boat caught it, "this is amazing!" Gambit chuckled and brought the boat to a slow stop in the middle of the crystaline lake. He turned around in the captain's chair and watched her with muted admiration.

"Yeh, John-Luc's nice anough ta let m' take y' out in one o' dese t'ings," he drawled with a bit of sarcasm. Of course his stepfather didn't grant him access to the boat; he stole it. Nikki caught on to his sarcasm and she turned abruptly to look at him, the sun glinting off of her blue-grey eyes.

"Remy, did you steal this thing?" she asked, sounding apalled, but hiding laughter. He smirked and shrugged, crossing his arms over his chest and sinking down into the plush chair,

"Wat can I say? Gambit a t'ief, chere," he said, a horribly cocky smirk stretched onto his lips. They both said nothing afterwards, just sitting and staring into each others' eyes. Then suddenly Nikki burst into laughter.

That caught Gambit off guard. His smirk wavered, and his whole face read confusion. "W-Wait, wat jus' happened?" he asked, his head cocked to the right unconsciously. He found himself chuckling as well as she straightened herself out and went over to him. She lightly nudged his left leg off of the other, uncrossing his legs. He looked at her curiously, his auburn hair falling over his shoulder and curling at the ends.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut short when her lips met his. He was shocked, to say the least, and for a minute he just sat there, trying to comprehend this. She pulled back, putting around three inches in between their lips.

"What, am I not good enough?" she said softly, chuckling. He finally registered her question and a huge grin lit up his face.

"Not a 'tall da problem, chere," he murmured, eyes flaring with a new found heat. He leaned in and they kissed again, now with both of them pushing back. He slowly brought her onto his lap, laying her down horizontally and cradling her head. The kiss never broke. After a moment or two more of silent bliss, they broke apart.

"Damn," she muttered breathlessly, smiling, "why did I never notice how hot you are?"

He grinned at the girl staring up at him, and he closed the gap between them again. She wanted more-he felt it in her movements-but he didn't grant her access. She moaned softly with the slightest of impatience when he pulled back slightly, hair hanging low in his face. He chuckled in the back of his throat; a rich and savory sound.

"Da real question, chere, is why did y'wait so long ta notice?" he said softly, seductively. She smiled and moved up to kiss him again, the sunset setting the mood perfectly.

They kissed for an eternity, both of them wanting more each time. But eventually, as the sun disappeared behind the trees, they both pulled away for the last time, their mingled breath hot and heavy.

"I love you, Remy," she whispered softly, looking into those demonic eyes she couldn't get enough of.

"I love you too, Nikki," he responded with the same tone, his voice rich, husky, beautiful. He pulled her in close to him, and she complied instantly. She sighed contently and rested her head on his chest, just loving his presence. Together they looked up at the stars and slowly drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
