A/N: Hey everyone sorry for such a late update, I've been super busy. Thanks to everyone the reviewed, favorite followed and read the chapters so far. I'm hoping the next few updates won't take so long.
She sighed, sitting up in bed, she could hear the birds outside singing, the sun shone brightly though her window. She wanted to shut the blinds and roll back over and fall asleep but that was not going to happen. She needed to get up and finish her speech, or better yet she needed to get Logan out of her room.
Most of her night was spent lost in an extremely erotic dream, that saw her wantonly begging Logan for his cock. lt had been way to real for her peace of mind. Even now thinking about it made her blush. She was no prude but the way she acted in her dream would make a seasoned prostitute blush. She glanced at the cot, surprised Logan was not there. She shrugged standing and stretching and going to her closet. She would spend the day outside, with plenty of people around so she could focus on her speech and not her stalker.
She opened the door and flipped on the light, she was surprised to see a sleeping Logan there. He was stretched out snoring. She smiled to herself shaking her head, why hadn't he brought the cot in here, he was just sleeping on her hard floor. But maybe that was comfortable for him, she didn't know. She slowly moved around him, grabbing a sundress and closing the door behind her.
She made her way outside, the sun was bright and welcoming. She waved at a few of her friends as she by passed the big tree she had sat under before and made her way into the mini forest behind the house. There was a beautiful little clearing that she used to frequent a lot. The calm lake greeted her and she laid out her blanket and sat taking in the view.
She pulled out her stack of notes and glanced over then, pulling out her pen and jotting down a few ideas. Her speech was coming on pretty well actually, she needed a few more key points and it would be done. She would of course get the professor to read through it but hopefully it showed all the passion she felt. She hated the world right now, but hopefully this would help change it for the better.
"If only it was as simple as this." she mused out loud, staring at the lake, the sun had hidden itself behind the clouds and it had grown dark. She hadn't even noticed. Her stomach growled and she glanced down at her watch, surprised she had could focus so long. "I guess it's time for lunch."
"I'm right on time then."
She glanced up to where the voice came from, her eyes squinted as the leaves of the tree moved. "Logan?"
He jumped down effortlessly and sauntered over to her. He set down a container and plopped down next to her, "was beginin' to get cramped up ther." He pulled out a sandwich from the half empty container. "Got hungry waiting for ya, how do ya go so long without eating?"
She stared at him incredulously, "what?"
He sighed, taking a bite of the sandwich, "Ya eat like a bird." He glanced at her still figure.
"That's not what I'm talking about Logan. How long have you been up there?"
He glanced at his previous resting spot, and shrugged. He had followed behind her watching each of her graceful steps, as she picked the perfect spot to sit. He had watched the emotions across her face as she wrote out each word. The short breaks she took, to glance out on the lake. He had hoped she would take a quick dive, better yet a naked one.
"You've eaten most of it already Logan."
"I was hungry." He finished the sandwich, "How long were you planning on stayin out her' 'Ro? Kinda boring just sittin up in the tree."
"As long as I feel like it Logan I did not ask you to come, so do not blame me for your boredom."
He grinned, stretching out, "I thought someone had something ta do tonight, maybe I was wrong." His grinned never faltered.
She stared at him lost, was he going out tonight, before he became her body guard, he would usually disappear and go out drinking or just out. So maybe this was her chance at a little freedom.
"I don't know go on a date?" Logan cocked his head to the side staring as she glances around franticly.
She had totally forgot she had said that, "I still have time Logan." Her cheeks reddened, she was supposed to be going on a date tonight, but she didn't have any one she could call to come over. "I just want to finish this."
"how far ya got?"
"Actually I'm almost done, need a strong closing but it's hard to figure out exactly what I want to say" she sighed, picking up one of the sandwiches nibbling on it, "there's so many things I want to say, but I don't want it drag on, do you know what I mean Logan?" she glanced up to the empty spot where he had sat. shaking her head.
Had he been watching her the whole time; she hadn't noticed or even sense anyone else around. He was a bulky guy wouldn't she have heard him at least a little? She looked around, now the feeling of being watched surrounded her. She stood grabbing her stuff and made her way back to her room.
~~Later~~~
Logan watched in amusement as Ororo tore through her closet, every five minutes coming out in a different outfit. He laughed to himself this was unlike Ororo, she looked flustered and agitated, this date must really be a big deal. He listened to her muttering in the closet about who knew what and sighed. He stood going to the closet, "What eva ya pick your going to be gorgeous 'Ro."
She looked up at him, the skin tight black dress she wore stretch with her body, each movement seem to tighten more on her. Her prominent breast stretching the fabric to the limits, "That is not the way it works Logan, I have to look PERFECT."
Who was she dressing up for, that's what ran through his mind. He'd never seen her stressed out like this and over a man? "From where I'm standing, you look more than perfect." His eyes travel her body for emphasis.
She stared at him for a moment, then by passed him out of the closet to glance at herself in the mirror. She frowned what in the world was she doing? In order to keep face she tore up her closet and pretended to be nervous about some imaginary date. What was wrong with her? "I guess this will have to do." She frowned in annoyance, adding a new coat of lip gloss and turning to him. "Please move your cot, better yet please move back to your room for tonight, If I decide to bring him home, I don't want to have to explain it."
He frowned but nodded, watching as she dragged on a shawl and left.
-about an hour later-
He watched as she downed her third glass of wine. This place was nowhere near what he pictured when she said she was going out.
It was a dimly lit, smoke filtered through the air this was more his type of hangout. "Would you like me to top you off?" A scantily clad bar maid stopped in front of him. He nodded barely glancing at her.
Ororo glanced at her watch again, she hadn't been here long enough to go home, she wouldn't hear the last of it from Logan if she went home now. She sighed, why the hell had she made such a big deal out of this date. She took a sip of her wine brushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"Is this seat taken?"
She glanced up at a strikingly handsome dark skinned man. "No…it's not…" she stuttered out, watching as he gracefully sat down. His dark hair pulled back neatly, "I'm Ororo."
He gestured to the bartender, for a drink for him and her, "You can call me Lucas."
"Pleasure to meet you Lucas," she smiled at him taking a hesitant sip of her drink.
"Are you waiting for someone?" He glanced her over, appreciate of all she was showing. "you've been sitting here all alone for the past hour, looking lascivious as hell."
Ororo blushed glancing down, "No, actually just stopped in for a drink."
"You've stared at your watch, four times since you been here, then glanced at the door each time, and no I haven't been staring at you all night. I'm just very observant." He smiled one of the most gorgeous smile she had ever seen.
Logan watched the exchange, was this who she had been waiting for, he frowned he was tall well dressed, other than that he couldn't see any appeal. He downed the rest of his drink waving for another. Maybe she hadn't been lying after all. The way she was chatting and smiling with him. He should give her some privacy, he waved over another beer and turned away from where the two were sitting to stare at the stage.
Ororo giggled, "You are quite the charmer Lucas." She turned to fully face him, they had been talking for who knows how long, but she was enjoying herself. He was attractive as hell but he was smart the conversation hadn't dropped once, no awkward silences. She couldn't remember when she had had so much fun with a guy.
"Takes two to tango Hun." He winked at her, downing the last of his drink. "let's say we go somewhere a little more private…really get to know each other."
Ororo glanced at him, she was never one to shy away from a good time, she knew what she had and how to work it. "Sure, have anywhere in mind?"
He nodded dropping some bills on the bar and standing waiting for her. He took her hand and led her out of the bar, into the dimly lit street.
"I know this great diner down the street, how about a late-night snack?"
"sure, I'm feeling a little peckish."
~~~~~~ An hour later~~~~~
Ororo stared at herself in the mirror, her lips were a deep shade of red, the tight black dress, accentuating her full bosom. She pushed at her breast, pulling the dress down a little more, the top of her creamy caramel greeted her. She looked stunning, there was no way she was going home alone tonight. She stepped out with purpose in her steps, her hips swinging suggestively.
She stood at the table, a slight smile on her lips, Lucas stared at her, more specifically her breast. They teased him from the tight bodice. He stood forgetting all about the food, he leaned in close to her, "there's something else I'd rather be eating…" he kissed her neck his voice soft, "my place or yours?"
Ororo grinned, "yours." There was no way she was going to risk Logan barging in on them.
He nodded escorting her to his car, his hands resting on her lower back.
He pulled up to his house, each step he took, his smile grew bigger, this might be easier than he thought. She was gorgeous, her body a man would die to fuck her, but that wasn't what he was interested in. "How about some wine Ms. Munroe?" He set down two glasses of red wine, and sat next to her.
"Thanks, Lucas." She held the glass up, swirling it between her fingers, "actually, lets skip the wine and go straight to dessert." She set it down on the table standing up, "can I freshen up?"
"The bathroom is upstairs on the right, there's extra towels in the closet."
She nodded leaning down kissing, him, running her hand down his face, "be in bed waiting for me." She walked off, unzipping her dress and letting it slide off her body as she walked up the stairs. She shut the door quietly behind her locking it. She glanced around the room there was one window, smaller than she would have liked, but in this situation, it would have to do.
She slipped on a robe that was hanging up and put her hair in a ponytail, she stepped up on the edge of the bathtub, pushing at the window it swung open noisily and she stilled. She pulled herself up slowly, what the hell had she been thinking, if only she had said 'hers' she wouldn't be in this situation. She could do it, just a little more and she would be out and safe. A little wind would help her now but she didn't want to alert "Lucas".
She stood on her tip toes so close, a knock on the door stopped her "fuck," she muttered stepping down. "Almost done Lucas" she called out. Fuck being cautious she had to get out of there now.
"I can't wait!" his deep voice resounded as the door was blown in. She jumped back away from as the debris flew past her. "You should've just drank the wine, make my life a helluva lot easier." He stood there an angry look on his face, he sighed, "I guess I won't be enjoying that body tonight, but eh I'll settle for a little bloodshed instead."
He rushed at her, and Ororo braced for the impact, but none came, her eyes flew open. Logan was on top of him, his blades drawn. She watched as the two struggled. Lucas was huge compared to him, his big body towered over Logan's. Lucas picked him up throwing him against the wall, it cracked under his body and Logan stood, a smirk on his face, "Ya'll never give up do ya?"
Lucas smirked, staring down the smaller man, "No." was his answer as he lunged for Logan, pushing him through the cracked wall and down the two floors onto the lawn below. Ororo floated down to watch as the two struggled, they seemed equally matched n strength neither man getting the upper hand.
Ororo sighed, she wouldn't have Logan fighting her battles for her all the time, her iris disappeared as the sky rumbled with distant thunder, dark clouds rolled in, blocking the light from the moon, lighting flashed violently striking the tree then the bigger man.
He fell back laughing, the strike seemingly not doing any damage to him, Ororo frowned pounding him again with a few more they connected but he took no damage. Lucas stood, a slick smirk across his face, he rushed at Logan again, this time a bright bolt accompanied his push, knocking Logan off his feet. Logan sat up shaking his head, what the fuck was that.
He had some kind of hidden abilities that was weird. He was a mutant too, Ororo flew down to him bringing with her mist blinding him temporally the lighting again flashed striking him, "Ya not helping Darlin' ya only making him stronger."
Ororo turned to Logan, not understanding what he meant, "I'm just trying to help, you do not seem to be able too…" Her breathe was knocked out as she was pulled to the ground. Lucas held her down his hand on her throat, slowly squeezing the life out of her. She kicked at him scratching his face her hands landing anywhere they could.
Logan jumped at him trying to connect with his back, but was knocked away by a blast, "Fuck…" he stared at Ro slowly losing her fight, "Cover me darlin'" He yelled as the mist that started to dissipated was now heavy as pea soup. Logan positioned himself just right, before lunging at his side, his claws embedding themselves in the big man's side knocking him off Ororo. He stabbed at him, ferociously, knocking any breathe out of him. Ororo sat up, catching hers. The mist having faded away, she glanced at Logan still going full force on the already unconscious man, "Logan stop he's already out."
"So?" He spat out but jumped off him staring down at the body. "Next time your answer should be 'mine'" He frowned, throwing Lucas body across his shoulder.
Ororo's eyes narrowed, "How did you know I was here?"
He ignored her, throwing the body onto the back of his truck and hopping in, "Try and make it home safely 'Ro. "He gassed the pedal and was gone.
~later~~
She slammed her bedroom door behind her, taking in a deep breath, she felt drained, she was used to having to be careful but this was becoming ridiculous, she couldn't even enjoy a night out without having to be paranoid. She slumped on her bed running her hand across her face, she couldn't take this much longer. Not just the fact that there were assassins around every corner but Logan.
It kept surprising her how he could be everywhere, she glanced at her room then searching every corner with her eyes, it unnerved her that he was so good at his assignment.
She stood dropping the robe she had stolen and slinked off to the bathroom to shower, after she did she hopped in bed pulling the covers over her head. She knew she would be in for a lecture tomorrow but now she just wanted to clear her mind and sleep.
