I groaned as I leaned up off my bed. I bent over my knees staring at the glossy floor beneath my muddy boots. I stood up and looked at the broken mirror that hung across from me. I ran a claw through my messy hair. I splashed water in my face and walked to the hall. Mystique stood looking through a window her palm was pressed up against the glass and she was staring intently through it.
I walked passed her without a word and went into the sitting area. I cringed as I sat down. Why the fuck did Magneto have to have everything out of metal? I closed my eyes for a moment I opened them when I felt I was no longer alone. I inhaled and sighed.
"What do you want?" I asked irritatingly.
"Oh, nothing really but I know what you want." Mystique said with a purr.
My eyes opened and I glared at her, couldn't she find something better to do with her time besides bothering me?
"What I want is for you to leave me the fuck alone." I growled at her.
She pressed her lips together and her eyes flickered in the evening light. She walked towards me, her feet were silent as they made their way across the room.
"You know I can give you anything you want." She said in almost whisper.
I clicked my tongue and shook my head it was a tempting offer but it wouldn't be the same. It would never be the same. She smiled at me coyly and turned to the side to admire something on a shelf nearby. I leaned back into my seat as I watched her, trying to be attracted to her.
She was dressed in a white tank top and white skirt with high slits on each side. She was barefoot and her hair was loose as usual. She ran her finger tips along the hem of her skirt as she stared at the ornaments on the shelf.
She looked back over at me and she walked across the floor and out of the room to the kitchen. She had a walk that seemed almost cat like it lacked Ororo's grace her walk…it was pure sex appeal. She reentered with a glass of wine in hand and sat across from me.
"I went to see her you know." She said after taking a sip of her wine.
After I glare at her for a moment I calm down enough to get the words to come out of my mouth.
"You did what?" I say barely contained.
"You heard me, she really needs to close that window of hers but I suppose she is waiting for you to come through it again on of these days." She says again.
I growl and she laughs, it's a sharp cackle that makes me cringe. She stands up above me and downs her glass and pours more. She drinks and looks down at me her eyes piercing into mine. She smiles and drops the glass; I catch it and throw it against the wall. She moves away quickly but I lunged and grabbed her arm pulling her back towards me.
She doesn't struggle and when I pull her back to smack her, her skin ripples and changes into Ororo. Her crimson red hair bleaches white and her blue skin ripples brown. My hands become limp and she smiles at me. My eyes immediately fall to her breasts, which are now replicas of the ones I once caressed while we rolled in the earth.
She catches my stare and I cursed myself inwardly for looking. Her hands run through my hair and I sigh at the familiar touch. Her hand glides down along my side and onto my chests bare skin. I tensed up as her finger tips ran along my ribs, I grabbed her hands.
She gasped and looked up at me confused.
"Not you." I say and shove her away.
She growled and changed back.
"At least she fell for it longer than you did." She sneered
I moved to grab at her but she was out of the room before I could even touch her.
I walked into my room and grabbed my coat and pulled it over my shoulders. I inhaled into the shoulders I could smell her scent faint on it. I climbed out the window and plummeted to the ground cracking the earth beneath me. I walked towards the forest; I had just about enough of Mystique for the awhile.
I trudged through the thick slush, God I hated the aftermath of snow storms. I can't pretend that I dint like it though, I shook my head at how just looking out my window and seeing snow got me hard. I shuddered at how she affected me.
I walked for at least ten hours before I came to a cabin. I smirked to myself and crouched down in the bushes waiting out to see if anyone was staying there. It looked nice strange that it was out here alone. I saw the door open and an elderly man stepped out and look around. He stretched his arms up and walked to an axe that was leant up against a chair on the porch.
He picked up and started to walk towards where I was when he stopped and stared at me/ He squinted but I could tell he wasn't sure what he was seeing.
"Hello?" he called unsurely.
I rolled my eyes, I hated when they did that. I lunged up and grabbed his throat and began to squeeze the life out of him. He swung his axe at me catching me in the shoulder but I refused to let go. I increased pressure until he was still. I dropped him to the ground and went inside for a shovel. I found one in a closet with some brooms and dug up a hole beside and old tree and placed him in. After I placed him in I walked into the house and surveyed it, one bathroom, one bedroom and a pretty decent kitchen and living room.
I walked into the shower and threw off all my clothes and rinsed off I dried off with a towel I found on a hook. I walked pulled on my pants and rummaged through the fridge; it was fully stocked for what looked to be a month or two.
Guess the old man didn't plan to leave anytime soon. I grabbed an apple and began to eat it; I walked into the bedroom and nearly tripped over two packed bags in the doorway.
I zipped it open and it had male clothes what I guessed to be the old man's. So he was leaving? I shook my head confused, if he was leaving why stock the fridge? I look around when my eye catches a placard above my head. "Victoria Aldridge Cabin est. since 1982".
So he was guest here, I rummaged through his stuff looking for something big enough to wear. All he had was an old plaid T-shirt. I pulled it over me and walked towards the bed and laid out in trying to get some shut eye.
Warmth crept over me, and my skin prickled all the way up my spine and I shuddered violently. I snapped my eyes open and searched for the source that had my nerves on edge but I couldn't find it. I sighed and took in a deep breath meant to calm my nerves, but I caught a familiar scent in the air. Familiar in fact, was an understatement of what the scent was. I lived that scent now, the aroma so sweet it could put you into a frenzy. That scent was a part of me now and it only took me 48 hours to learn it.
I stood up immediately and before I could make a decision whether to leave or not she was in the doorway. Her wispy white pulled into a tight ponytail and her bag hanging loosely on her side while the others dropped to her feet. She glanced around the room and her eyes just scanned past me not yet acknowledging my existence.
Her eyes immediately returned to my own and her face was stone cold serious. I stared back at her, unable to find the words to say.
"Why—"she started to say.
"—Am I here?" I finished" well I could ask you the same thing seeing that I was here first."
She shook her head and her hair swung back and forth in it's now loose ponytail.
"I booked this cabin two nights ago." She said clearly restraining herself "It was meant to be secluded."
I chuckled and her eyes narrowed at me into a soul draining glare.
"Calm down, witch" I say irritated by her anger.
"Calm down?" she said her voice shrill "I am trying to fix me but I can't seem to escape you."
I cocked my head to the side. Escape me? Was I in her thoughts just as constantly as well?
"Escape me?" I repeat aloud.
"Yes! Escape you?" She said dropping her side bag to the floor. "You haunt my thoughts constantly."
I nod permitting her to continue. She begins to pace in the empty space between me and her pile of bags at the door. I glance to the floor at the empty space and I have multiple thoughts of taking her on the floor or was it killing her? It was getting harder to tell what I want to do with her, both of thoughts gives me pleasure.
"I'm trying to fix my problem—you in my head; I need to go back to normal." She said trying to figure out her sentences as she speaks.
I have a feeling this is the first time in her life she's been so unorganized and confused.
"So what do you presume we do?" I said slowly "clearly keeping away from each other isn't working?"
She stared at me for awhile, partially probably in shock based on the fact that I used to the word presume in a sentence correctly.
"Well maybe we need to get each other of our systems, you know like what rehab does." She says glancing at me then to through the window.
I laugh and it echoes through the house, "What exactly are you suggesting?" I said as I leaned against the wall
"We just stay with each other until we are out of each other systems." She said staring at me.
"You said this was like rehab right? Last time I checked they didn't give a lifetime supply of Dust to Coke heads until they were tired of it." I said bitterly.
"I know but we clearly get more damaged when we're a part." She snapped.
"We? Maybe it's just you." I said stepping closer to her.
She scoffed "You don't expect me to believe you aren't at all attached to me?"
I wanted to sneer at her but I couldn't. She was right, being at this proximity made me want to rip the flesh -clothes off her. I shook my head slightly as she was looking away, trying to clear my thoughts.
"So the plan is basically to fuck each other out of our systems?" I said crossing my arms across my chest.
She cringed at my words and gritted her teeth.
"I just said we could stay with each other, it doesn't have to be that. We could do other things like just go for a walk or talk, goddess knows I barely know about you or we could-"
"Fuck." I interrupted her.
Her eyebrows furrowed in frustration and she rubbed her eyelids.
"There so much more to people than that." She said calmly.
"I know that." I snapped at her bitterly. "I just prefer that part."
She turned away from me and walked to sit at a wooden chair.
"So how come you're out here anyway? That pup coming to get you soon?" I said waiting for her reaction.
She sighed "no, he won't be coming anytime soon, I took some time off."
"Oh really?" I said with a smirk on my face "when do they expect you back?"
"I don't know." She said "probably a month."
I smirk, a MONTH. My God the things I could do to her in a month. My body shivered and my eyes rolled slightly at the thought. When my eyes could finally focus I noticed she had been staring at me.
"Could be sooner." She said with a smug look.
I watched as the smile on her lips spread and I felt my hand twitch. I wanted to grab her by the hair and pull her into me but I knew that would just ruin everything. She seemed to like when everything was slow and gentle but that really wasn't my style.
What I had done in her room took a vast amount of self control, that of which I have none at this point. She got up and picked up her bags and looked around the room.
"Where is the bed room?" she asked.
"It's the last room in the back." I said pointing to the back.
She walked away and I took a deep breath and slumped against the wall.
"I didn't figure you would pack clothes." She said when she came back to the front.
I stared at her confused out of my mind.
"What are you talking about?" I asked
"The suitcases at the door, aren't they yours?" she said gesturing to the back.
"Oh that," I ran my hands over my scalp "yeah."
I never figured her as much of a talker but after she ate she kept on going and suddenly she was really quiet. I looked over at her and she was asleep, so I picked her up and carried her off to bed. I laid her out on the bed and when I leaned away I felt fingers wrap around my wrist. I looked at her and her eyes were still closed. I let her hand pull me towards her I ended up lying next to her. I ran my hands through her hair, the ponytail now completely and the ribbon that held it whereabouts unknown. I dropped my arm lazy over her and tried to get some sleep.
She was laying in the snow her hair blending into the piles around her. Her skin a raging contrast to the land that was now bleached white around her. I walked to her and her eyes shifted to white. I slowly approached her not backing down to her; I stared at her intently and grabbed her by the throat. She stirred in my arms but her eyes showed no signs of fear. My hand slid from her throat to her shoulder than to the small of her back. She leaned into and pulled me into her curving against me. Her breath was heavy and frantic lips hot against me chest. The snow came down harder now that her mind was clouded. Knowing the sense of danger I posed and the lust that was boiling out of me and into her. My hand ripped at the fine fabric that hung loosely on her and I—
"Victor," I heard her say.
My eyes opened and I sighed from being woken up suddenly from my dream.
"What is it?" I said wearily.
"You're kind of stabbing me." She said hoarsely.
I looked at my hands only one was across her but my nails were nowhere near her skin.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I said angry that she woke me up because she had imagined something.
She turned to face me and pointed down.
"You're. Stabbing. Me" she said slowly.
I looked down and sighed, apparently my dream was getting the best of me.
"Damn it," I murmured "Well it's your fault."
She scoffed "How is it my fault?"
I didn't answer I just rolled on my back flat and passed out.
When I woke up I was alone in the bed. I sighed deeply, when I heard her say we would be staying together I imagined more than this. I got up and walked to the door and watched her as she sat with her legs folded under and glancing out the window.
I walked up to her and pulled her hair back and gathered it in my hand. On her lap she had a plate with half an omelet and a slice of toast. She seemed to be ignoring me and I have to admit that it pissed me off a bit more than it should of.
I ran my hand along her jaw to her collar.
"Those trees are dying." She said abruptly.
"Let them die then." I said leaning my lips to her shoulder.
"The snow around the roots is killing them." She said her voice shaky as I hooked my fingers in her straps dragging them off. Her skin prickles with goose bumps that spread down her arm.
"Forget about it." I said roughly.
"I need to—"she said and I growl.
I move away from her and she turned towards me blankly.
"You said you want to get me out of your system right? Then why is it that you keep pushing me to the back of your mind?" I yelled at her.
"Why are you pushing me?" She hollered back.
"Because I want you." I said loud enough for it to echo in the house.
She opened her mouth and closed it. Her lips pressed together in a hard line and she drummed her fingers along the windowsill.
I turned and walked away and go back in the room.
Why in the hell am I still here? I don't have to stay here. It's because you want to be here Victor I answer back.
"Victor?" her voice snapping me out of my thoughts.
I look up to see her next to me. Her face was serious and her hair tucked behind her ear.
"What is it?" I snapped annoyed that I still found her attractive even after she completely pissed me off only seconds before.
"You can't always have what you want." She said slowly.
Before I can reply her hands are on my cheeks and her lips on mine.
"You can have what I give you." She said when she leaned away.
She placed her lips on mine again and I pulled her onto my lap. She placed her legs on either side of me and wrapped her arms around me; her fingers laced a crown in my hair.
This woman, this woman was probably one of the most bipolar women I've ever met, but she was by far the most interesting. I was used to having one woman and another one the next day or so never the same one.
I ran my fingers down her spine and she shivered in response she was so warm and I was so cold. I pulled at her shirt until the seams came loose and fell into my hand. I tossed it to the floor and grinded into her deepening the kiss. My nails raked across her soft skin being sure not to scar her anymore than I had before. Those before were trophy marks, now that she was here I had no reason to mark her.
My nails hooked into her side as I pulled her into me further. She let out a yelp of pain and I smirked against her lips. Of course even though I had no reason to accidents happen.
I pulled off everything and she was underneath me, I looked down at her analyzing everything. The bruise I had given her was faded now, she stared up at me her eyes not showing any intimidation like before. Her eyes showed equal dominance, she no longer feared me.
I smirked down at her and slid into her, her head threw back and her nails raked into my back. I pulled her into me and shifted harder breathing heavily into her neck. Her skin ignited under my touch and I shifted again. I increased my speed until we had a rhythm her breaths matching mine.
Shaky gasps escaped her mouth and slight 'Ah's' that drove me wild. We rolled until we were up against the bed head and then up against the wall. I felt her cling unto me, her legs wrapped tightly around me as she met her release. I pounded into her regardless of her whimpers and I met my release as well. Our hair sprawled across out faces mines drooping onto her face. Her hands tucked it back behind my ear. They lingered on my face and I took both and kissed them.
I slumped onto her and rolled to my side gathering her up in my arms. My body relaxed and healed slowly. I glanced at her as her bare chest rose and fell with each breath. Her legs were together and her knees still up. Her body was glistening with sweat and her white hair pouring over her shoulders and over her face slightly.
I cursed myself for thinking about taking her again. She was strong but her body wouldn't be able to take me again. Her eyes fluttered and she looked toward me her eyes closed and her breath slowly even out. When I knew she was asleep I slid out from underneath her and covered her in a sheet. I grabbed my pants and pulled my coat over me, I had to deal with the one thing that has continued and will forever be the bane of my existence.
I pushed open the door and walked out through the melting snow. I passed through the trees and stopped until I was in what seemed to be a field. The crunching of boots alerted me to his presence, but I had already smelt him from where I laid in the house.
"State your business mutt." I said bitterly.
"We need to settle this." Logan barked at me.
