Almost Lover
Chapter 9: Dangerous Game
Okay, okay I know what you're thinking. But come on! A sexy and feral man was attacking me, making me moan. Would you have turned him away? No I doubt you would have. Sure he fucked some chick but… god his touch was so wonderful at that moment and time I couldn't careless, I had just wanted to get off.
Well now lust didn't cloud my mind anymore and my dear readers it was time for Logan to pay.
I took a tip from Jubilee's book and dressed myself as sexy as possible the next morning making sure he watched me as I walked into the kitchen, my hips swinging from side to side. Oh and did he notice, his haunting eyes watching my body and every move I made. It almost made me hot. Luckily for me I had the reminder of him fucking some slut in my head.
"Morning." I greet oh-so-sweetly batting my eyelashes as I take a seat at the bar.
"Mornin'…" he clears his throat. "…Sleep well?" Oh yes Logan I slept great.
"Mm, average." I shrug casually smiling softly and he nods just as casually. Never going to mention last night I was sure. He never did mention things like that… He looks off taking a sip of his coffee and I smirk.
You can't fool me Logan I know you're looking, "So what are we doing today?" I ask sitting back in my chair peeling a banana. And yes I'm gonna doing exactly what you are thinking with that banana.
"Well we need some money so I was…." I take a teasing bite of the fruit laying my mouth over the tip before taking a bite. He clears his throat again, "…Going to do some logging up in the forest for a company…" he finished his eyes on me the whole time.
"Oh okay… If we need money I can get a job…"
"No that's alright just stay here."
"Well… okay if you're sure." I finished banana slowly licking my lips before tossing the peel in the trash.
"Yeah I am…" I nod and turn to head to my room. He grabs my arm and drags me close in an attempt to kiss me but I stop putting my hand up. "What?"
"My power is on full blast still." I murmur.
"But I touch your hand just fine." I growled obviously catching on.
"Not my lips, if you do I have a bad feeling you'll drop to the ground unconscious." I smile cheekily and he growls again.
"Marie."
"What? I can't control it Logan my power does what it wants." I run my finger down his cheek bone lightly before pulling away. "I'm gonna go take a shower now, have fun Lumberjack!" I couldn't help but be slightly arrogant as I walked to my room.
Marie: one. Logan: zero.

"You really did that?"
"Yep, thanks to my wonderful teacher."
"Wow who knew little Miss Rogue could be all hot and teasing. I am very proud of you chica."
I smile softly into the phone. I had been very hesitant about calling Jubilee, afraid she'd be angry that I left. Even though she knew I did. But she wasn't, she was just happy I "followed my heart" and excited that I took her advice. "Now all you have to do is control your power and he'll be all yours."
"I'm trying but… I need help and I can't ask Logan that would be too obvious and I want it to be a surprise when I show him."
"I wish I could help chica, I'm sorry."
"Well… I have someone willing to help me but um…."
"Oh no who is it?"
I clear my throat, "Victor Creed?"
"Mister Overgrown Kitty Cat?! No way, he'll rip you in half."
"But he wants me and Logan to get together… sure for another whole different reason but I have some protection and…"
"Come on he has to have an underhanded motive for wanting you and Wolvie to be together."
"He does."
"What?"
"He hopes I'll get pregnant and provide him with nieces and nephews…."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah…." I was blushing over the phone! Seriously was that necessary to blush when the person couldn't even see you? Well… it was embarrassing.
"Okay well… Oh crap here comes Ro' I got to go chica."
"Alright bye." I sigh and hang up the phone falling back onto the couch, closing my eyes. I really had no idea what to do now. I was slightly regretting teasing Logan like that…. I didn't need him to lose control when my touch was deadly, not yet. After I learn control well then… he could lose control all he wanted. Over and over again even… all night long. Mmm, yes that would be fun.
So I decide to do house work. I know BORING but give me a break I am boring. Why you think I'm not I don't know.
Groaning I wash off my hands, finally finishing some stupid chores I made up to keep myself busy. I let out a tired sigh as I lean against the counter. I lean there, imagining Logan walking in topless and sweaty from lumberjacking and smile. Now that would be a great sight. His un-hairless body glistening with sweat that hot look in his eyes. Then if this was a perfect world he would take me over the counter.
Oh yes, I could see it now.
He would swept one arm along the counter like in the movies then take me right there, hot a heavy. Not very sanitary I know but GOD so hot that would be… Mm yes…
"Is that lust I smell?"
My eyes fly open seeing a smirking Victor standing in front of me. Damn… I should really lock that door next time. Oh jeez he smelt my lust… how embarrassing. "N-No… your nose must be fucked up or something cause-"
"Oh calm down girly, jeez, you'd think I walked in on ya' masturbating or something."
If I had been drinking something I would have spewed it all over him. Did he really just say that word? The "m" word. God I hated that word… made it sound so dirty. "What do ya' want?" Man I somehow always found myself asking him that question didn't I?
"Checking in on your power control."
"Oh well… nothing to check on."
He growled, "Have you even been trying?"
"It's hard to try when I have no help!" I snap glaring right back at him. Bastard assuming I could do this myself.
"Help? I don't help doll… "
"Asshole."
"Why are you all alone and deathly bored looking anyway?" He asks curiously, leaning against the counter.
"I have nothing to do…."
"Go out."
"No car."
"Walk."
"Too far and cold."
"Wanna ride?"
"What?"
"On my back." I stare at him in bewilderment and he laughs smirking. "Into town idiot. To keep you busy or something."
"Why do you care?"
"Can't have my brother's mate dyeing of boredom."
"Is that even possible?"
"Doubt it… or I would have died centuries ago."
I huff and cross my arms over my chest… Wait actually… "Yes I would like a ride."
"Hm, really?" he seemed actually surprised I agreed.
"Yeah… I haven't visited this 'town' so take me."
"Get on."
"Your back… seriously I thought you were joking… You don't have like a truck or something."
"Why would I when I can out run one?"
Oh good question…. Shrugging I wait for him to turn around before I jump onto his back, waiting as he effortless holds me in place before bounding out the door and down the dirt road, the trees a blur. Wow he really is fast… I shiver feeling the cold air hit me and I stuff my face in the small of his back. He was really warm. Despite my fear of him I feel myself relax against his hold, resting against him as he ran.
"You awake?"
I blink my eyes open feeling soft ground beneath my feet. Oh we're here. I nod absently and glance around at the stores and smile but that smile quickly faded. I had no money to shop with. As if reading my mind he shrugs, "I ain't giving you money." He grunts, obviously amused.
Bastard.
"Too bad I'd buy you a manicure." I snap and he laughs shrugging.
Oh wait… maybe I could find a job. "Know any place that's hiring?" I wonder looking around.
"Well… the bar I go too has a help wanted sign."
"Strip club?"
"Hah…no."
"Okay show me the way." I walk beside him as he leads me to a nice looking bar… nothing bad really. Hygienic and the people looked nice-ish. Nicer then Westchester anyway. I smile and walk in, Victor trailing behind.
"How can I help you miss?"
"Looking for a job."
"Of age?"
Hah hell no.
"Yes sir."
"I.D.?"
Fuck.
"Listen… she's cute and her body would draw in costumers just say yes." Victor growled behind me and I smile. Aw how sweet.
"I guess she could just give out food and stuff…. We do need the help."
"Thank you so much!" I smile softly and leave Victor so the man can take me in the back and show me where everything is. "So um when do I start?" I ask after a while.
"Tomorrow."
Oh wait… I needed a ride. Or Victor could… I'd have to ask him. Assuming he'd say yes I nod and walk out leaving the bar with Victor. After we walk down the sidewalk awkwardly for a moment I sigh, "Can you run me down here tomorrow?... and every time I have to work?"
He raises an eyebrow and I sigh… Great that's a no. "What do I get if I do?"
What?
Suddenly I pinned to a random brick wall and I swallow staring up into Victor's eyes. Oh shit, here comes the fear. He smirks and trails a claw across my lips making me wince. "A kiss maybe?"
"B-But I'm your brother's mate." I swallow, suddenly that didn't make me feel safe like it had.
"So… have you ever heard of sibling rivalry? I might just wanna take you and…" he lowers his face and I clench my eyes shut, feeling his lips ever so slightly brush mine. Oh crap, no.
"Creed!"
Logan!
"James."
"Let go of her!" Victor releases me and turns a smirk playing across his face as he looks over a very pissed Logan. And boy was he pissed, his claws were out that's for sure.
"Afraid I can't do that Jimmy."
"And why not?" Logan growls, "Have a death wish?"
"Nope… just realized something important."
"And what pray tell is that?"
"I want her."
"What?"
WHAT!
