AN: Ok, finals, holidays, computers breaking, no internet access, and being out of the country for two weeks are mostly to blame for the hiatus. I'll try to not let it go so long in the future without an update, but sometimes it's just out of my control. Also, I've decided to start answering reviews (it hadn't occurred to me before). I'm going to start with this chapter, so I'm sorry to those of you who've reviewed on previous chapters; I really love your reviews too!
Extra warning: this chapter is mostly smut, with a pinch of fluff mixed in.

Logan stared at her over from his position at the foot of the bed. She was biting her lower lip, nibbling it, really. She always did it when she was deep in thought. Logan knew that she wasn't thinking about anything serious, 'otherwise she'd be twirling her hair with her finger, too,' he thought with a grin. He had to suppress a lustful growl as he continued to stare, imagining that he were the one nibbling those sweet lips…
He didn't want to break her concentration, but curiosity finally won over.
"What're you thinking about, Darlin'?"
Selene's eyes shot up, she released her lower lip as her gaze curiously locked on Logan. Roughly half of her field of vision had now been transformed from the pitch black that she had known to the blurry scene that she had become accustomed to. She was now able to make out the general shape of her lover, which had prompted her reverie.
"Well?" he pressed with a playful grin.
"You remind me of someone, and I can't put my finger on it, alright?" Selene spat in feigned annoyance.
"Is that so?" Logan played along, his tone serious. "And what is it about me that is triggering this comparison?" He grinned as he crept closer to her.
"Well, at first I thought it was your firm jaw," she lightly traced her index finger along his jawline, "it's bold, masculine, and very sexy," her voice dipped low as she cupped his chin softly in her hand. "Buuuuuut, that's not it." She threw his chin playfully from her grasp.
"Then I thought it might have been your voice."
"What about my voice?" he asked in a playful growl, taking the hint and as he inched closer.
"The low pitch," she replied as she brought him completely to her and kissed a trail down his neckline, "and the way it's gravely when you're angry, but smooth when you're flirting with me." She finished with a throaty laugh, raking her finders through his thick mane.
"Mmmm, flirting? I thought we were passed that point." His voice was muffled as he kissed the nape of her neck.
"You know, I think I may be onto something with the voice, but there's something else," Selene mused as she lay back, allowing her lover complete access to her entire body, which he took fool advantage of, starting his way from the top.
"Is that so?" Logan growled as his calloused hands went about their work, one concentrating on her right breast as the other trailed its way down her curving belly to tease her inner thigh.
"Maybe it's your sense of humor," her breath was hitched now as Logan's fingers stopped their work on her thigh and made their way to her delicate center.
"Mmhmm," Logan's reply was distracted as Selene brought her hand down to firmly enclose his length.
No longer interested in playing games, Logan brushed Selene's hands aside and brought himself within her. Though his inner self cried out to take her roughly, Logan rocked slowly, careful not to bring his weight fully on her rounded abdomen.
Selene reached her peak quickly, moaning her lover's name and clenching down upon him as she rode wave after wave of pleasure. Logan released an animalistic growl as he too lost control and released himself deep within her.
Logan withdrew himself and lay panting next to his satisfied lover, who was softly chuckling to herself by this point.
"Care to share the joke?"
"It's not really a joke," Selene replied, "more of a riddle"
"...Well?"
"I still can't figure out who you remind me of, you stupid ass!" She said as she playfully slapped his chest, laughing all the while.
"Hmm, I go from great sex to 'stupid ass' in under a minute. Wow, does that make me feel lucky," Logan feigned irritation.
Selene's laughter came to a sudden halt, "Wait a minute, say that again."
"What? That I'm apparently a stupid ass?"
"No, the part about feeling lucky."
"… Wow, does that make me feel lucky?"
"Aha!" Selene proclaimed as she reached over and kissed her lover, "I finally figured it out," she said with a great sense of pride and accomplishment.
"And are you going to fill me in?" Logan asked as Selene repositioned herself to sit between his legs, leaning her back against his firm, bare chest.
"It's perfect, really," she said as she looked up at him, "you remind me of Clint Eastwood."
"Clint Eastwood? But he's at least seventy years old."
"So? I like older men. Besides, I find Clint Eastwood very sexy," Selene purred.
"Oh, well in that case, " Logan teased.
Selene smiled. Good sex, figuring out her own personal riddle, a warm chest to lean against; barring the fact that she was being held in a prison by a team of evil scientists, today hadn't gone too badly.
Logan, on the other hand, frowned as he wrapped his arms around Selene's growing midsection. She was nearing her sixth month now, and every passing day was torture for the clawed mutant. The child was coming, and Logan was no nearer to an escape plan than he had been months before.
He was running out of time.

Polly Danderfluff-Mrs. Hawkeye: I read somewhere that the heart forms at 5 weeks or something like that (I've since forgotten). That's why I tried to make it so that Logan could barely hear it.
