WARNING: Love scene
Hearing a moan, Gambit looked up from his card game spread out on the coffee table and smiled. Getting to his feet, he head into the bedroom and placed his hand on the door frame, seeing Rogue covering her face with her hands.
"Bonjour." He said walking in and over to her side, kneeling down. "How y' feel?"
"Like shit." She said, squinting as she looked at him. "And ah don't wanna hear ya say 'ah told ya so'."
He smiled. "Wasn't gonna say dat." He said, standing before he bent over and kissed her forehead. "I go make t'ose pancakes, eh? Dere's some aspirin on de nightstand when yo' ready fo' it."
Watching her her roll over, she covered her face with the sheets as he left and head into the kitchen to make breakfast. Their day was now ruined with her being hung over. He shouldn't have let her have three more glasses last night durring dinner, but he decided letting her feel like this would make her understand. Maybe it was wrong, but it got the point across. At least, he hoped it did.
Putting the iron skillet on medium heat, he whipped up the pancake badder and started to crank out pancakes. When he finished, he put several slabs of bacon on and crisped them up before turning everything off and plating it up. Taking it into the bedroom, he sat down on the edge of the bed and pat her hip.
"Here." He said, watching her roll over and look at him.
"Ah ain' hungry." She said, closing her eyes tight.
"It'll help." He said. "Now c'mon."
Sighing Rogue sat up and placed her right hand on the side of her face as he sat the plate in her lap. She took a bite and then another, soon finishing the plate. Reaching over, she took the aspirin before lying back down and covering her face with her hands.
He watched her for a bit before she took her left hand off and looked at him through a squinted eye. "Ah'm sorry." She said.
Placing his hand on her thigh, he shook his head. "Don' be." He said, smiling warmly at her.
"Mm." She moaned, rolling back over and covering her face. "Ah wanna die!"
He laughed as he pat her hip again before taking the plate into the kitchen. Cleaning up around the cabin, he returned to his card game and decided to check on her later. After fifteen minutes he heard her call his name softly. Getting to his feet, he walked and stood in the doorway, placing his hands in his jeans.
"Can ya make me some tea?" Rogue asked, squinting as she tried to shield the sun with her hand.
Gambit shrugged. "Didn' bring no tea, chère." He said.
"Then some coffee. Ah'll take some coffee, then." She said.
He shook his head. "Wha' y' need is water." He said, leaning against the door frame. "Dis one of t'ose times it be good idea t' listen t' me."
She sighed, adding a whimper, as she lied her hand down and closed her eyes. "Then can ah have more water?" She asked, her eyes still closed.
"Of course." He said walking over and taking the glass.
Walking into the kitchen and filling it up, he dropped a few ice cubes in before returning to the bedroom. Sitting up, Rogue took the water and drank it down as he stood there and waited for her to finish, seeing if she needed anything else.
When she finished, she sat it down on the nightstand and looked up at him, reaching out and taking his wrist. "Will ya lay with me?" She asked. "Maybe massage my head?"
"Don' know." He shrugged and smiled, pointing over his shoulder. "Got a good card game goin'."
Rogue glared as she took a fist full of his shirt and pulled him toward the bed. "Get your ass in here, Cajun." She said, watching him crawl over and and lie down beside her.
She cuddled close and closed her eyes as he ran his fingers through her hair over and over. "How's dat?" He asked, seeing her smile.
"Perfect." She said, resting her and on his torso.
"Do y' feel any better?" He asked, softly.
"Not really." She said. "Still feel like shit. How long is this suppose ta last?"
He smiled. "Maybe all day." He said. "But sometimes dat ain' de case."
"Well, ah hope this is one of those 'ain't tha case'." She said, reaching up and placing her hand on the side of his face. "Ya need ta shave. Ya getting a beard and ah don't like that."
"Didn' bring my shaver." He said.
"Ah have my razor in there." She said. "Feel free ta use it. Also have shavin' cream."
"Don' t'ink I wanna be smellin' like strawberries and mandarin oranges, chère." He said, hearing her chuckle.
"Don't make me laugh. My head." She said, lightly punching his chest.
"Sorry." He said, rubbing her back.
"Anyway, it's either that or razor burn." She said. "Your choice. Ah'll start callin' ya Logan if ya don't."
"Insultant." He said. "Be an insult, girl. He a wooly mammoth."
She laughed again and then let out a painful moan, placing her hand on her head. "Remy, stop it!" She said, trying to stop laughing. "My head!"
"It's true." He said, smiling at the sound of her pitiful whimpers after each laugh.
She finally calmed down and took in a deep breath. "Ah need ta sleep." She said, burring her head in his side and breathing in his scent.
"Den I stay quiet." He said, still combing through her hair.
–
Taking in a deep breath and opening her eyes, Rogue saw that it was dark and she was alone in the bed. Sitting up she heard a voice so she listened more intently. It was humming. Climbing out of bed, she shuffled to the doorway and stopped seeing Gambit playing a card game while the fireplace lit his game.
She smiled, hearing him hum a song that sounded like one on her iPod. Standing there, she listened to him for a bit before she walked in, knowing he would hear her any moment. And he did.
Turning around, he smiled. "Hey." He said, scooting over on the couch. "How y' feelin'?"
Walking over and sitting beside him, she nodded. "Ah feel alive." She said. "A lot better."
"Good." He said, setting the deck down and turning to her. "Y' look better."
She smiled as he cupped her face. "Ah heard ya hummin'." She said, seeing him smile with a slight embarrassment.
"Y' heard dat, huh?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.
"It wasn't bad at all, sugah. It was nice." She said. "Sounded like one of my favorite songs, too."
He looked at her before looking back at his game. "Catchy tune, no?" He said, patting her knee, seeing her nod.
Glancing at the clock above the fireplace, Rogue sighed seeing it was just past eleven. "Ah'm sorry this day was a waste." She said, leaning back against the couch. "Ah know we had plans."
Turning to her, he took her hands. "Who cares?" He asked, kissing them. "Rat'er make sure y' a'right den worry 'bout plans, mon amour."
She smiled at him as she placed her left hand on the right side of his face and leaned in, kissing him softly. He kissed her back, placing his right hand behind her neck, holding her close as the kiss intensified. Breaking the kiss, he began to kiss her right cheek before going back and kissing her ear before nibbling just below her ear lobe. She let out a satisfied moan as she brought her hands up his chest and into his hair.
Going back to her ear, he whispered into it. "I wanna make love t' you, Anna." He said before pulling away and looking into her eyes.
Rogue smiled as she leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her chest against his as she kissed him. Taking her in his arms, he kept the kiss going as he took her into the bedroom and lied her down on the bed. Stripping from their shirts, they went back to their kiss as they finished getting undressed.
Kissing her navel and making his way up to her chest, he detoured to her right breast, letting his tongue play with the nipple before he continued his way up to her neck. "Stop stalling." She said, grabbing his face and kissing him.
He pulled away and chuckled. "Foreplay be important, chère. Y' know dis." He said, reaching down between her legs and pressing his fingers inside. "Can' slide down a water slide when dere's no water."
She giggled as he dove deeper, sending surges of pleasure throughout her body. Closing her eyes, she reached down and grabbed hold of him, making him grunt as she began to massage him.
"Dere y' go." He whispered, kissing her neck as she worked him harder. "Mm. C'est un sentiment incroyable."
Rogue smiled as his breathless statement, knowing he was enjoying it. "Ah think ya ready." She said, looking into his eyes as she took her hand from him. "Ah know ah am."
"I t'ink y' right." He said, guiding himself inside her as he kissed her passionately, moving at the speed she loved so much.
She smiled and moaned at the pleasure as she grabbed his hair, starting his neck kisses. She suddenly got goose bumps over her whole body when she felt him lick her from her chest up to her right ear. It was so erotic and sudden. She loved it.
"Ya fuckin' amazin' Remy..." She moaned.
He stopped and looked down at her, surprised at what she just said. "Wha' did y' jus' say?" He asked, seeing her smile. "I love it."
She giggled, reaching for his lips with hers as he continued his motion, making her back arch. Grabbing his hair again, she then ran her hands down his back, digging her fingernails into his skin.
"Ah!" He grunted, breaking their kiss. "Chère, I only got one back."
Rogue looked into his eyes and smiled. "Sorry, sugah." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Ah just want ta feel all of ya."
"Patience, girl." He said, kissing her, starting his movement back up again.

Lying there until the first rays of sunlight entered their room, Gambit watched Rogue as she slept. They had an incredible long night, but he couldn't sleep after. He was too busy thinking about her and the reason they had come out here. They had been the only two souls within hundreds of miles and he knew that they had grown that much closer, if it were even possible.
Reaching out, he combed through her hair, pushing strands out of her face. Taking in a deep breath, she rolled towards him and placed her hand against his side, as she exhaled the breath she had taken in. He smiled down at her as he placed his hand on the side of her face, letting his thumb lightly caress the apple of her cheek.
She was out like a light and probably would be for several more hours. They were both pretty physical last night and she didn't seem to want to stop. Neither did he. He couldn't get enough of her.
He remembered when they had first met and all the flirting they had done, getting each other all hot and bothered, testing the waters very carefully. She had drove him crazy with her sassy attitude, and her looks, but he couldn't have her. She was the only woman he could never have and that made it all the more reason to pursue her, eventually getting to know her. They had their brief moments over the years, but it was never enough with her powers keeping them at bay. After a lot of pain, suffering and patience, they were finally together. They were finally happy.
His thoughts were cut short as he heard her mumble something about a purse. He smiled, listening closer as she went on about finding a dress that he liked on her. She was asking him questions in her sleep and he couldn't help but chuckled silently as he listened to the conversation.
Finally going quiet, she slept deeply as the sun lit the room, filling it with a bright orange-y glow. Looking at the clock, he sighed peacefully as he closed his eyes. She would be asleep for a few more hours, so he decided to catch a few winks himself before he got up and made them breakfast.
He was woken up by Rogue placing her hand on his chest and tracing the contours of his muscles with the tips of her fingers. Rolling over to face her, he hugged her tight as he felt her do the same.
"G'mornin'." He softly said, kissing her forehead.
"Hi, lover." She answered tiredly with a smile, closing her eyes as she placed her hand on the side of his neck.
"How 'bout I get us somet'in' t' eat." He suggested, seeing her nod slowly.
"Sounds good." She said, her eyes still closed as he slipped out of her grasp and out of bed. "Make it fast, hun."
He smiled, slipping his jeans on as he walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. The woman loved her fruit, so he grabbed the large bowl and uncovered it, portioning out some for the both of them. Taking the yogurt from the fridge as well, he put a few dollops on top before heading back into the bedroom, seeing she hadn't moved a muscle.
Stripping from his jeans, he climbed back in bed and moved closer to her, leaning his pillow against the rod iron headboard. "Here, chère." He said, softly.
She opened her eyes and sat up, seeing him prop her pillow the same way. Rubbing her eyes, he waited until she was ready to hand her the bowl. Taking it, she took several bites before offering him some.
"Yogurt was a nice touch, sugah." She said, taking another bite before resting her head against his shoulder.
"T'ought y'd like it." He said putting his arm around her and rubbing her arm lightly. "Y' feelin' alright?"
"Mm hmm." She answered, chewing the fruit. "Feel great."
He hugged her again, adding a kiss to the top of her head as they sat there eating in silence. Sometimes the silence was all they needed.
"Will ya make some coffee, hun?" Rogue asked, placing her hand on his thigh.
"Mm hmm." He said slipping out of bed and walking toward the door.
"Creme." She said, seeing him give her a thumb's up.
Continuing to eat her fruit, she finished the bowl just as he returned with coffee. Taking her cup, she sat down carefully as he went around and got back in bed, sitting beside her. Holding the mug in his right hand, Gambit draped his left over her shoulders and rubbed her bare arm.
"Thanks." Rogue said, taking a sip. "It's perfect. You're amazin'."
"Dat's not wha' y' said las' night." He said, flashing her a grin. "Las' night y' said I was fuckin' amazin'."
Rogue couldn't help but laugh before she looked up at him. "Ya are." She said, looking at his lips. "Ya so are."
He leaned in, kissing her softly before he took a sip of coffee. "Well, day four, chère." He said, seeing her nod. "We havin' a big meal tonight."
"Sounds good." She said, leaning her head against his shoulder. "What are ya gonna make?"
"Dat be a secret." He said, looking down at her.
"Aww." She said, kissing his jaw. "Well, ah look forward ta it."
Taking her coffee mug in her left hand, she rested her right on his thigh and pat it. "We gonna go for dat hike?" He asked.
Rogue shrugged. "Sure." She said, taking a sip of her coffee. "Ah need ta get out after yesterday."
"Oui." He said, rubbing her arm as he got out of bed. "Maybe we take anot'er dip in de lake, eh?"
She smiled, watching him slide his jeans on before putting a shirt on. "We'll see." She said as she got out of bed, setting her mug down on the nightstand.
Walking over to the dresser, she took out a sports bra and suddenly felt Gambit pressing himself against her. She smiled when his hands ran up her stomach and cupped her breasts as he kissed her neck. She closed the drawer as his hands left her body and opened another, grabbing some running shorts and a tank top.
After getting dressed, she turned to Gambit and winked. "Let's go." She said, seeing him raise an eyebrow.
"Y' wanna go now?" He asked, seeing her nod.
"Why not?" She asked. "It's passed noon."
He shrugged. "Whatever y' want." He smiled as he slipped his shoes on.
Heading into the kitchen, they grabbed two water bottles each before they headed outside and went the opposite direction of their picnic. Walking for ten minutes, they came across a beaten path. Gambit suggested they to check out what was at the end of the trail, but Rogue felt a little hesitant.
"If there's a path, then it belongs ta someone." She said, seeing start to walk down the path.
"C'mon, chère. Live a li'l." He said, holding his hand out. "If dere not'in', we turn around."
Taking his hand, they walked down the path and under some large trees that provided some amazing shade that they desperately needed. It was a hot day and the sun seemed to be targeting them only, it felt like.
Walking for another ten minutes, they came upon an old rotting cabin. The path seemed to end at the front door. Taking a few more steps closer, Gambit smiled back at Rogue.
"Gros lot." He said. "Jackpot."
He started to head to the front door when Rogue suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Ah don't think ya should be goin' inside, Remy. Ah've got a bad feelin' about it." She said, seeing him smile.
"Li'l mischief, is all." He said, seeing her purse her lips together out of worry. "A'right. We head back now, eh?"
She seemed to sigh inwardly as they head back up the path to where they had detoured. They stayed quiet as they took their original route and kept walking, eventually starting to go uphill. Another ten minutes passed and Gambit stripped from his shirt, wiping the sweat from his face and neck. They took a short break, drinking some water before continuing on. They finally came across a point in their hike where they could see over the lake and down at the forest. Sitting on large rocks, they began to hydrate themselves.
"Wha' kind o' feelin' y' get back dere?" He asked her, seeing her eyes meet his.
Rogue shrugged as she reached back and scratched her left calf lightly. "Like somethin' bad took place there." She said, seeing he was listening. "Ah know, it's stupid."
"Non." He said, shaking his head. "It ain'."
She smiled as she took another drink.
"I should listen to my gut feelin', but unfortun'ly, my gut tells me to go lookin' fo' trouble." He said.
"Ya have gut feelings that keep ya out of trouble, sugah. Ya just choose ta ignore them." She said, watching him wipe his face with his shirt. "Ya love tha adrenaline rush."
"Oui." He said, looking out at the view. "Sometimes it be serious fun."
She smiled at his chuckling, knowing he was thinking about several tight spots he had found himself in.
"I be a damned fool when I was a boy." He said, shaking his head, still smiling. "Surprised I still alive. Learned a lot."
"And that's what matters." Rogue said, seeing him shrug.
"Jus' 'cause I learned a lot don' mean I put it into practice." He said. "Like I said, was a damned fool. Cocky li'l bastard."
"Ya still are." She winked, making him smile bigger.
"Jus' who I am." He said, standing and holding his hand out for her to take. "Keep goin' or head back?"
Taking his hand, Rogue stood. "Let's keep goin'." She said, as they continued on.
