Chapter Seven: The Couple's Shower
Let's shower the love birds ;-}
"Congratulations, guys." Aks hugged soon-to-be marrieds and gave them a big, beautifully wrapped gift while Victor was just standing there, totally uninterested.
"Oh we're so glad to see you back sweetheart." Jean gave her one of the good ol' plastic smiles of hers. "Sorry we weren't here to welcome you both back. Actually we were busy choosing my wedding dress in Paris." show-off oozing off her words. Creed scrunched up his nose.
"Oh no Jean, it was totally okay. It's your pre-wedding time, shop as damn much as you want." Aks grinned.
"Scott says the same thing." she hooked her arm around Scott's and showed off her big, diamond studded, proposal ring.
Aks's Mini Me gave a mental eye roll.
"By the way, when are you two planning to say 'I Do's'? Scott asked, glaring at Creed through his ruby glasses.
"We do it whenever the hell want." Victor finally spoke. "'Cause we're in no hurry unlike some people getting married to wrap up their dirty deeds."
Now it was Jean and Scott's turn to give a couple of shocked emojis.
Aks scowled hard at Creed but laughed out loud inside.
That's like my Mate.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"Is this seat taken?" Logan smirked.
"As long as Victor's outside for his call, no, it's not." Aks grinned and tapped the empty space on the sofa.
"Gettin' bored?"
"Yup. Victor's out, girls are cracking the dance floor and by the way, who the hell gave this marvelous idea of newspaper dance for the party? I mean all we're getting to see is some horny grinding instead of dancing over there." Aks made a disgusted face.
"Must be Jubes's. She seems to be enjoyin' Peter's solid steel against her back way too much." they both chuckled.
"And you..? why ain't ya on the dance floor?" Aks asked mischievously.
"Do I look like the guy who can do some jumping jacks over there with a 300 pound adamantiumed frame?" he grumbled.
"Oh c'mon, it's not that hard, you just need a good teacher." she said with a waggish smile and took a sip from her orange juice.
"Actually, I had to be a damn dance partner for Rogue once before her prom night and after the first and last try, she had to call 'Ro to get the tiles of her floor fixed." It made her spit out her drink and laugh hard this time.
"Shut that laugh, kid." he scowled with a growl.
"Sorry." she wiped her mouth with a tissue paper, trying hard to suppress another giggle.
"Uh-oh," Aks's laugh died down suddenly. "Looks like Jeany isn't loving the view of two of us laughing together at all. I can smell it, she's practically on fire."
"Just ignore her, she's gettin' married so basically, what we had in the past is over now." Logan shrugged and leaned back into the couch.
"Oh yeah..?" Aks smiled wickedly and slowly took her lips very close to Logan's ear. Logan had no idea what she had in her mind but it caused him to swallow hard at the realization of the intimacy between their faces. "Then why were those 'Oh gawd Jean, you feel so good!' and 'Oh Logan, fuck me harder!' sounds comin' from your room last night?" she whispered into his ear.
Logan pushed a dry gulp down his throat.
BUSTED!
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"Ya heard that?"
"Heard that, smelled that." she came back to her spot with a devilish grin, just like Victor's but without fangs.
"Well, it was the first and last time." Logan tried to defend his action.
Aks gave him a cooked brow.
"OK fine," Logan surrendered with a growl. "It was second and LAST time! The first one was on the night she caught Scott with those girls."
"Oh c'mon relax, i ain't judging you two here. After all, Scott also cheated on Jean so he definitely deserved it in my eyes." she gave a careless shrug.
"So you believe in 'Tit For Tat' thing huh?" Logan eyed her profile, amused. "Does that mean you'll do the same if Victor ever does somethin' like that to ya?" he knew it was an 'out of the line' question and the consequences could go both ways.
She snapped her neck to him and blinked in disbelief. "Don't ya think it's a too damn cheesy question to ask from your brother's Mate?"
"Hey, it's just a curiosity okay?" Logan already raised his hands in surrender.
She gave some thought to the question. "Well...if he ever tries something like that on me, he's gonna get a damn dose of his own medicine." she said frankly.
"But the real question is, who'll do Victor Sabertooth Creed's Mate?" Logan chuckled.
"Well that's also true." Aks chuckled back and tapped her chin in a mock cogitation. "Hey, I can choose you, I know you can handle him." she winked mischievously, ignoring Logan's face that was a mix of a mild shock and...strange desire.
He knew she was just joking but it unleashed thousands of dark longings in Wolverine's mind. The longings he should never have about his brother's woman but Wolverine had no control over them and Logan had no control over Wolverine when it came to his feelings.
"Move your ass runt, it's sittin' on my seat." Creed's sharp growl tightened Logan's jaw.
"Don't get your panties in a twist already, big guy, I was just givin' Aks some company until you come back."
"Well I'm back now so why don't just go and cool the infuriated bride down in some corner like last night?" Aks had to clear her throat to stifle her laugh after seeing Logan's newest poker face.
Victor Sabertooth Creed's such a big bad meanie!
But that's what makes him hers.

"You're sure about this, Natasha?" a deep agitation could be seen on Fury's wrinkled forehead.
"Read those files yourself, Nick, that's what they're after." agent Romanoff crossed her arms over her chest and tried to prove her newest found information.
"God..." Fury exhaled a deep breath and shook his head. "Creed's gonna be really pissed."
"Yes, he is. But we still gotta tell them."
"You're right." Fury agreed. "Go, call at the mansion right away."

Sorry, another cliffhanger.
