A/N so this chapter will be in Logan's point of view. It leads up to the conversation he had with Sabretooth and then transcends into Ororo's return. Hope you enjoy, I appreciate all the views and reviews. They seriously make my day.
I placed the cigar in my mouth and lit it, I hated the damn cold. I was out here freezing my ass off and Ro probably wouldn't even let me into her room when I arrive. I groaned as I swung my leg over Scott's motorcycle. Ol' one eye is probably pissed right now; well there ain't much he can do about it now.
I revved up the bike and continued down the road, it was just me out at this hour. It was probably ten or eleven in the night, I really hope she's up. I saw a sign that said Cooperstown, NY 5miles; thank God I was almost there.
It was about an hour later when I came riding into the small town. I sniffed the air; I couldn't pick up her scent. I searched my mind, when I was listening to her and the professor talking she said she would be in this town. Was it an inn? No, a cabin….yeah a cabin. Damn I could barely smell her, but she had been here I could feel it. The wind began to blow and I smelt her scent in the air I followed the scent to the trees where it was stronger, Good at least I didn't come all the way out here for nothing. I looked at the bike but decided against taking it; I didn't want to wake her up when I got there. I walked through the thick trees getting hit by multiple branches. I passed through an empty field and continued up the path.
Damn it 'Ro why'd you have to pick the most desolate place to go and live.
I walked through the melting snow and the breeze suddenly began to pick up the farther I went up the path. The air changed from slightly cold to icy in the matter of seconds. I knew that was definitely Ro. Why the heck was she changing the weather though? Her scent began to thicken in the air it was practically pulling me up the path. My head was pounding and my legs were moving as if they had a mind of its own. God knows what this woman does to me.
The trees began to lessen and I could make out a cabin that was further up the path. I squinted in the dark and I could make out her figure in the moonlight. She was partially leaning out the window. I came a bit closer her hair blew away from her face exposing her bare chest. I sucked in a breath and felt warmth flood through me. There were times where I imagined what she looked like naked, but I wasn't really expecting this. I was about to walk out into plain view when I caught another scent in the air.
Her arousal bombarded me and ever muscle in my body was tense. I was almost sure it would knock me to my feet. How…why? I felt tremors run through my body and I took in another breath to take in her scent when I caught another scent. All the glorious pain that was coursing through my body came to a stop.
I smelt that animal…that filthy bastard was here.
I could hear her moans grow louder; they were both of agony and pleasure. My hair stood on edge; damn that woman…her voice was going up in different octaves. Then his scent increased and it didn't take me too long to realize what the hell was going on.
"You fucking bastard." I said gritting my teeth.
My knuckles felt as if they would rip through the skin. It took all my power to not run and rip the door off the hinges and kill him. I drifted back but her scent kept pulling me back. Her moans kept me close. I wanted to be the cause of the noises she made.
The wind grew more powerful with her cries and the trees bent and curved. I swear the one next to me was going to completely uproot and crush me.
"Jesus 'Ro, he can't be that good." I muttered.
The trees around me swung with violent force and were creaking. The branches swung and crashed into my face slashing my nose. I cursed under my breath and moved back only to get hit by another. My blades ripped out and I slashed off the branches that were slamming into me.
"Come on ya fuckers! Come at me!" I yelled into the deafening wind as I slashed off another.
Now I must admit that this wasn't one of my most flattering moments but I was really pissed. I could hear her breaths becoming more shallow and faster. I sped up slashing the trees and my pants began to match her own. The breeze strength decreased and I heard her pants slowed as well. I heard him groan and I was filled with disgust. Then everything was silent.
"If it was me, I would have had her more than groaning. I would have had her begging for more." I said bitterly.
I heard her breaths slowed down and I could hear movement from where I stood. I turned and went down the path back to the field I passed before. I spun around when I reached the center and the trees in front of me shuffled and revealed Victor standing in front of me with a smile plastered on his face.
"State your business mutt." He said bitterly
"We need to settle this." I barked angrily at him.
He rolled his eyes and after a moment of silence he leaned away from the trees. He walked slowly towards me and stopped when he was only a few feet away from me.
"What's there to settle?" he said tiredly.
I could smell her on him and that made every part of my body tense with rage.
"Why are you still following here around, you don't even love her" I growled.
"Oh and you do?" he said with a sick smirk on his face "You're the only one following her, you think I couldn't hear you from in there?" Talking about you'd have her begging for more, you weren't the one she just gave herself to." He laughed; it was empty and came from his core.
"I'm tired of yourself righteous attitude, do you even love her?" he bellowed
I didn't know exactly what I felt for her but I knew she meant more to me than this bastard.
"What is it that you want from her? Is it just a quick fuck? I yelled at him.
His smirk fell and his eyes narrowed to glare at me.
"Sure, Why not?" he said and I scoffed "that's what you want to hear right?"
I wanted to rip the flesh off his bones; every part of me ached with anger and most of all, jealousy.
"You're no good for her; you're just going to ruin her." I said quietly.
"I know," he said and I looked him dead in the eyes. "I know that bit by bit I'm destroying her."
"Then why?" I said shaking my head in confusion "Why do you keep after her and bringing her further to your level when you know she's too good for you?"
He looked up and stared at me silently, he had this cold look in his eyes like he wanted to kill me, but then again when didn't he want to kill me?
"Because she's the first person who wants me over you" he said with a small smile.
"When she's in my arms and when her fingers grab at my back, it's my name she's yelling me." He said laughing.
The anger in me began to boil up again. My hands ball into fists.
"It's me she thinks about when she becomes aroused, it's me she feels coming in her again, and again as well fuck over and over again." He said and my mind snapped.
I lunged at him and he moved out of the way before I could grab him. He reached out for me and caught my arm and threw me into the tree. He ripped a tree out the ground and swung it at me, it crashed into my stomach and I barreled into the other trees in the distance.
"You fucking bastard." I growled spitting out the blood in my mouth.
I shoved the tree off me and rushed at him, he pounced on me knocking me to my feet. He mounted me punching me in the face. I growled and try to see passed the blood on my face; I raised up and extended my claws going through his stomach.
"Shit!" he yelled leaning back pulling my claws out of his stomach.
His breath was labored and after a few minutes the holes in him healed.
"Why don't you just die?" I growled looking up at him.
"I could ask you the same thing." He said breathing heavily.
"Get the hell off me." I growled throwing him off me.
I ran my hands through my hair; I couldn't kill him now, 'Ro would die inside. I spat out some more blood and crushed it into the dirt.
"You should talk to her, she's up." He said without looking at me.
I could smell her outside she smelt of him and slight perfume.
"You're still going to die when I get back." I threatened emptily.
I would kill him some day but not today. It was too complicated now.
"Sure, just go before I decide to kick your ass again." He said without looking at me.
I rushed back to where I was previously; I stopped and tried to fix myself up. I wiped the blood off my face into my leather jacket. I smoothed out my hair and walked out into the clearing where she was. Her arms were up to the sky and she was moving towards where I was. Her eyes looked up and met mine, I watched as her eyes went from happy to horrified in a matter of seconds.
What—you aren't supposed to be here." she said angrily.
"I know that 'Ro." I said tiredly.
Suddenly her mood began to change and I really wanted to grab her and hug her. I could feel the heat coming off her, he was angry. My eyes trailed along her figure, she was in a thin shawl and I could see through her breast through it.
"Then why did you still come?" she said crossing her arms blocking my view of her breast.
"I wanted to make sure you were alright." I said, I couldn't help but stare at her, I felt like she would disappear any moment. "You're out here by yourself." I said my eyes finally locking on hers.
She was silent for a moment and then sighed.
"I'm fine Logan. I picked this area to be far away from everyone." she said clearly irritated" It doesn't matter if I'm out here alone, I've been alone before."
"So you are alone then?" I said, my eyes never breaking away from her glare. I wanted her to lie to me, to show me that she was ashamed to be here with him.
"Well—yes at the moment." She said impatiently.
"So there was someone here before?" I asked
She opened my mouth to answer, but then she looked me up and down looking at the blood on my jacket and then at my face. Her eyes stared into mine and I felt as if she and I were the only people around.
"I believe you already know that answer Logan." she said bitterly.
"Do you—"I stopped myself and took in a deep breath.
I had to find a way to say this without yelling at her.
"Do I what?" she said irritated by my delay.
"Do you love him 'Ro?" I asked my eyes desperately searching hers for an answer
I wanted her to say no, every part of me wanted to her say 'no Logan I hate him' but I knew if she said that it would be worse, if she didn't love him then what kept her here with him. Was she just trying to hurt me?
"I have no idea what I feel, but I know I feel as if I'm connected to him." she said slowly.
I stared at her, her voice was earnest she was really unsure about her answer. I felt the twinge of jealousy I had before spread throughout my entire body. I wanted this, I wanted her.
"Do you feel connected to me?" I asked earnestly.
"Yes, I do." she said quickly. Her eyes opened wide, it was clear she didn't need to think about it. She was sure about what she felt towards me. Instead of making me happier it made me angrier.
"Then why?" I said gritting my teeth "why him?"
"Where were you Logan?" She said suddenly making me flinch and look up at her.
"Where were you when I was completely alone? Where were you?" She said losing all composure.
Lately since her encounter with Victor she's been losing it when in an argument. I wanted to touch her so bad, even if it was to just to touch her hair. I needed to feel her again.
"You were too busy pinning away for Jean, did you expect me to wait until you realized that I was there alone?" she said angrily.
I flinched, how long did she feel like this. Was I that damn oblivious that I didn't notice she was there for me. She was who I went to talk about Jean, why did she just sit there and let me go on and on about her. Why the hell didn't she say anything! Why the fuck couldn't I see!
"I didn't look for this," she said gesturing to the cabin "it just keeps happening, like faith or something, I-I don't know what to think anymore, I just feel now." She was babbling now.
I looked at her, she was showing so much emotion, so much hurt. Hurt that I caused, my chest hurt so much I wanted to reach inside me and rip out my heart.
"I feel wanted Logan, I feel needed. There's no pain of being alone anymore." She said more to herself then to me.
I wanted the same, it hurt me to do what I was about to do but it was right. She deserved to be happy, even if her happiness meant hurting me.
I stared at the ground for awhile then finally a slight smile formed on my lips. It was ironic that she ended up with my worst enemy.
"He's not exactly the type a guy I pictured you with." I said still smiling slightly though, it's particularly harder than I thought it would be.
"You wouldn't picture me with anyone Logan." She said smiling back.
I'm glad to get a smile out of her.
"Only myself 'Ro." I said seriously "Only myself." I repeated slowly.
I could hear her heart flutter and she pressed her arms tighter into her chest.
"Logan…" she whispered.
I moved back, if I stay any longer I knew I'd do something I'd regret.
"I'll see you in a month 'Ro." I said giving her a smirk as I turned away. I stopped and glanced at me.
"It's in his nature to hurt people, it'd be unnatural if he didn't ya know?" I said before I walked off. I ran off quickly before she could respond.
It's been two weeks, the hardest and sure as hell longest two weeks of my life. I heard from the Elf that 'Ro was coming home a couple days early. I couldn't hide that I was happy but I was worried why she was coming home so early, what happened after I left?
"FUCK." I growled.
This sure was a conflicting situation. I wanted to be happy, but my happiness meant that Ro would be hurt in the process. That's the last thing I wanted.
I lit a cigar and walked down the hallway I heard thundering foot steps up the staircase. I saw Rogue's head pop around the corner.
"What's wrong Marie?" I said watching how she stared at me quietly.
"She's back." She said eyeing me carefully.
"When did she get her?" I said pushing passed her to get downstairs.
"Like ten minutes ago, Logan don't push her to hard ya here me?" she called after me as I rushed down the steps.
"What do ya mean?" I said pausing.
She hurried down to meet me, she sighed and held onto the banister.
"She seems a little tried that's all." She said pulling her hair behind her ears.
I nodded and smiled at her.
"Ya'll been acting weird with each other, I don't like it." She said squeezing the railing.
"Aw, it's alright, we're going to be alright." I said hugging her slightly.
"Why are yall fighting anyways?" she said staring up at me.
"It ain't nothing to worry about, I'm just worried about her." I said walking down the steps with her.
I turned the corner and I saw her with Jean, she looked up at me and smiled gently. I smiled back. At least she seemed to be in a good mood.
"You're home early." I said fidgeting uncomfortably.
"I decided it was time to go home." She said looking away. "Logan I need to—"she started saying.
"We should get your bags to your room" Jean cut her off before she finished "The professor wants to talk to you soon and the students are completely ecstatic that you're back."
Her hair was out and poured over her shoulders as she picked up her bags.
"You're right." She said smiling at her.
"You need help?" I asked and she nodded.
Jean grabbed the other and we walked to her room quietly. I studied every move she made, was it possible that she became even better looking since the last time I saw her, damn every part of me ached for her. I felt anger bubble in me when I think about how Creed got to be with her, the thought itself made me want to rip his dick off.
I heard Jean stumble a bit.
"Ya alright?" I said without looking behind me.
"Yeah I'm—I'm fine." She said tiredly.
She opened her door then took the bag from my hand and stooped down to unzip it. I watched as her pants drew tight against her as she bent down, I wanted to pull her to me and kiss her. In fact I wanted to rip every fabric of clothes off her and take her now. She stretched and opened the window and fresh air rushed into the room. Her hair flew around her and she sighed, her lips still held a slight smile.
God this woman, this woman's smile was like a deathblow to the heart and it was like I couldn't fucking heal fast enough to not feel the pain.
I heard a thump and I turned to see Jean starring at me, her face slightly red. Was she…
~Were you in my head Jean? I asked and her eyes cast down.
~Sorry, I didn't mean to be—sorry that was supposed to be private. She answered
~everything in my head is meant to be private I scolded.
She looked away, and looked at Storm. There was a look in her eyes that I couldn't exactly place.
"I need to talk to Ro alone, Logan." She said moving out of the doorway.
I sighed and looked at Ro walking out the door. Jean walked to the door and began to close it quickly her eyes studying me as Ro and I stared at each other, as our view of each other narrowed. I looked down at Jean at the last moment and I saw the look in her eyes again.
I could finally identify it, jealousy that's what it was. Jean was jealous.
