WARNING: LOVE SCENE

"All done." Jean said as she closed the box and placed her hands on it. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Standing, Gambit placed his hands on his hips. "Part o' me died." He joked, making her smile as she stood.

"Let's hope you won't miss that part of you." She said, using her powers to place the box with the others. "Thank you for your help. I'll have someone help me take these to the storage unit."

"I free t' go?" He asked.

"Dismissed, soldier." Jean winked as he turned and head out of her office.

Once in the hall, Gambit felt his phone vibrate. Reaching into his pocket, he was curious as to who was texting him. He didn't recognize the number, but the start of the text was very interesting.

"Qu'avons-nous ici?" He quietly said to himself as he opened it, reading the contents. "Hmm."

It was a local job. He hadn't had this kind of job for a long while and he didn't know who was texting him, but they gave an address as to where he could find them for more information. He would have to meet them at one o'clock in the morning at a bar for more details. Texting back, he let the person know he would be there and they replied with that they would be wearing along with mentioning the Thieves Guild. It was a legit job.

Pocketing his phone, he continued down the hall until he came to the entertainment room. Poking his head in, he saw Bobby and Jubilee playing pool and a few other students watching.

Looking his way, Bobby smiled. "Looking for Rogue?" He asked.

"Non," Gambit replied, slightly shaking his head. "Jus' killin' time."

"Hey!" Jubilee exclaimed. "How about a Danger Room session?"

Smirking, Gambit leaned against the doorframe. "A'ready had one, petit." He said, seeing her look bummed. "Maybe t'morrow, eh? Y' an' Wolverine against m' an' Rogue."

"Hell yes!" Jubilee said with excitement but got a little more composed. "Sorry."

"What am I, chopped liver?" Bobby asked.

"You'll have your chance." Jubilee said. "Maybe we can do a bracket type thing."

"Tournament style?" Bobby asked, thinking. "That would be fun. But we'd need more teams to make it interesting."

"Maybe we can set it up this evening." Jubilee said looking at Gambit. "What do you say?"

Gambit shrugged as he pushed off the doorframe. "Sound good t' me. I catch y' later." He said, giving them a small wave as he went out the side door that led him to the basketball court.

Going to the left, he walked over and sat with his back against the wall that went around the perimeter of the estate grounds. He was in the shade and could see everyone and everything. Taking out a cigarette, he lit it up and took a long drag before slowly exhaling the smoke. He really needed to keep his cigarette numbers down if he was going to quit, but damn this smoke was needed.

Stretching his legs out in front of him, he crossed his ankles and looked up at the sky. There wasn't much to do since he was suspended and he would be very busy tonight. He smirked. He'd be busy with Rogue and then the job. It was going to be a good night.

"Cajun!" Gambit sighed hearing Wolverine call out to him.

Looking to his right he saw him come around the side of the mansion. Standing, he took the cigarette out of his mouth and held it with his right index and thumb fingers.

"Wha' can I do fo' y', mon ami?" He asked.

"Jubilee just let me know you'd like to challenge us tomorrow in the Danger Room." He said, stopping two feet away from the tall Cajun. "You're paired with Rogue?"

"Oui." Gambit said, taking another drag and blowing the smoke out in his face. "Surprised she tell y' now. Jus' talked 'bout it."

"Yeah, well, she was excited." He grunted. "What time are we doing this?"

Shrugging, he placed the cigarette back in his mouth. "Anytime after noon. Gonna be a busy night, no?" He smirked suggestively, seeing Wolverine get a little angry.

"Two o'clock." He growled as he turned and stormed off. "Be ready!"

"Oh, we will, homme!" He called out to the Canadian as he watched him disappear around the side of the mansion. "Definitely will."

And." Rogue said, sitting in Gambit's lap on their bed and running her fingers up and down his chest. "Ah got a little somethin' for ya."

He cocked his eyebrow. "Do y' now?" He asked, kissing her neck but stopped when she got off the bed.

"Ah'll be right back." She winked as she disappeared into the bathroom.

Leaning back on his hands, he watched the bathroom door knowing full well she was putting something on. He couldn't help but think about what it was. Something lacey? Or perhaps stringy? See through, definitely. What color would it be? He was pulled from his thoughts when the door opened and he watched her step out, wearing a red, lacey, sexy nightgown.

"What do ya think?" She asked, slowly walking toward him.

He smiled as he stood up and pulled her close. "I t'ink y' look irrésistible." He said, kissing her neck.

Rogue giggled as his kisses trailed down to her neck and the cleavage she was exposing. "Remy, please. Control yaself." She said, letting him continue.

"Oh, I am, chere." He said, shutting her up with a kiss as he pulled away and took his shirt off before picking her up and placing her on their bed.

Straddling her, he cupped her face and kissed her softly but started to laugh when she quickly started to work on getting his pants off.

"Contro' yo'self." He joked, helping her undo the button and zipper before he took them off.

Taking his hands, she pulled him down on her and they shared a passionate kiss before their hands started to wander. Bringing his hand up her left thigh, his fingertips lightly stroked her skin causing her to lightly moan. Moving to her right side, he kept the kiss going as he ran his hand down her stomach and kept going until he was at her entrance.

"Mm." Rogue moaned as she closed her eyes and let her head rest against the pillows.

He smiled at her reaction and kept on as he littered her chest with kisses. He felt her grab him and saw her smile as her hand started to work on getting him ready. She didn't have to do much since he was thinking about this all day. Getting to his knees, he reached over and opened the dresser, taking out a condom and ripping the package open before he rolled it on and returned to Rogue. Sliding her matching red thong off, he tossed it over his shoulder before placing another passionate kiss on her lips and slowly pushing inside her.

Rogue grabbed his hair in her hands and moaned as he started his slow rhythm. "Mmm." She moaned as she wrapped her legs around him as his kisses trailed down her neck.

Running his hand up her torso, he stopped at her right breast and gave it a light squeeze, playing with the nipple that hid behind the lacey fabric and making it stand on end with excitement. Glancing at the clock he saw it was just after nine thirty. He had plenty of time to have fun before he needed to leave, assuming Rogue would fall asleep not too long after. Bringing his thoughts back, he focused on pleasuring her as he reached down and started to massage her while keeping his pace.

"Mm." She moaned again as she cupped his face and brought him in for a kiss as he continued on. "Yes."

Breaking the kiss, he took her hands and pinned them back against the mattress as he quickened his thrusts. She was all for him being the dominant one during sex and it turned him on that much more. Keeping his quick pace for several minutes, he then wrapped his arms around her and kept on as he kissed her neck and jaw.

"Ouch!" Rogue said as her head hit the headboard, though it didn't hurt.

"Sorry." He smiled down at her.

They shared a laugh as he pulled her down the bed and slightly to the side before he continued on.

Feeling the bed jostle, Rogue opened her eyes and watched as Gambit went into the bathroom. She smiled as she glanced at the clock. It was midnight and she was mighty tired, but she hadn't been attacked in her mind yet. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath and relaxed as she listened to the sink turn on. She didn't remember when she had fallen back to sleep, but she remembered feeling Gambit climb back into bed. She cuddled close when she felt him put his arm on the side her waist and kiss her shoulder. The next time she opened her eyes, it was morning and light poured into their room. She looked to see Gambit still sound asleep and she smiled. He wore himself out last night, but it was damn good like it always was. Propping herself on her left side, she watched him for a bit before she ran her fingers through his hair and lightly kissed his forehead. Careful not to wake him, she got out of bed and slipped a pair of his sweats on and pulled a tank top over her head before she left the bedroom and head down to the kitchen.

Turning the corner, she saw she was alone and inwardly sighed with relief. She just wanted to have a morning to herself. Grabbing two coffee mugs, the poured herself some coffee and added creme and a little sugar before she poured up the second and left it black. Taking the mugs, she made her way back upstairs and to her room. Walking inside, she noticed Gambit hadn't moved a muscle. The poor boy was out, but she knew he'd wake if she made him.

Placing the mugs on the nightstand, Rogue slipped back into bed and kissed him softly. No response, so she tried again. This time his eyebrows slightly raised. Chuckling, she gave one more kiss and was startled when he quickly grabbed her and kissed her back.

"Mm!" She pulled away and giggled. "Ya such an ass."

He smiled, sleepily up at her before he rubbed his face and sat up, leaning against the headboard. "Wha' time is it?" He asked.

"Nine-fifteen." Rogue said, taking the mug of black coffee and handing it to him. "Here, ah brought ya some coffee."

"Oh." He said as he took it. "Merci, chere."

"Ya acting like my kindness is unexpected." She joked giving him a wink. "Are ya tired? Looks like ya were sleepin' hard."

"Mm." He said as he took a sip. "I be wore out."

She smiled when he moved in for a kiss and she didn't protest. "Ah don't doubt it." She said. "And ah didn't have any visits last night."

He placed his hand on her left leg. "Bon." He said giving her a warm smile. "Den y' back t' normal?"

"Ah sure hope ah am." She said, placing her left arm on his right shoulder and leaning in to kiss his jaw. "Ah needed that sleep."

"Me too." He said, taking another sip before he set the mug down on his nightstand and lied back down. "Still need mo' sleep."

"But it's after nine." Rogue said watching him roll on to his back and look up at her.

"Gotta get rested up. We got a Danger Room session wit' Jubes an' Wolverine in de afternoon." He said seeing her eyebrow raise.

"Do we now?" She asked. "Glad ah knew about it."

Propping himself up on his elbow he smirked. "Y' know y' up fo' it." He said leaning in and kissing the tip of her nose. "Wolverine need his ass whooped, no?"

Rogue laughed before she kissed him. "Yeah he does for all tha shit he's put me through." She said, sitting up. "Well, if ya wanna sleep all morning ah guess ah can leave ya be."

She started to get out of bed but Gambit grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back down on the mattress. "Mmm. Stay wit' me." He said, nestling his lips between her shoulder and neck.

"Remy." She laughed as his kisses tickled her neck.

"Y' won' regret it." He whispered into her ear.

Sitting back up, she turned to him and placed her hand on the side of his face. "Ah'm gonna get a shower." She said. "Ya can be a bum and sleep all morning if ya want, but ah'm startin' my day."

Propping himself up on his elbow, he smiled sleepily at her as he watched her walk into the bathroom and draw the shower curtain back before she started the water. She glanced at him before she stripped from her shirt and felt the water again before pushing the sweats off and stepping out of them. Still watching her, he smiled at her when she looked back at him again before she disappeared behind the shower curtain.

Sighing, Gambit lied on his back and closed his eyes. He was so damn tired, but a nice warm shower was enough to coax him out of bed. Sitting up, he rubbed his face vigorously before he got out of bed and casually made his way into the bathroom. Pulling the curtain back quietly, he saw Rogue facing the other direction with her head under the water. Smiling, he stepped inside and placed his hands on her wait, causing her to jump before turning around.

"God dammit, ya bastard." She said with a chuckle as he pulled her against him.

"Sorry." He said with a smirk as he kissed her.

"Mm." She moaned satisfied as she pulled away. "Ya don't stop do ya?"

"How can I?" He asked, kissing her neck. "Look at y', chere."

She chuckled as she turned to finish her shower. Taking her face wash, she put a little in her left palm and gently began to rub it into her face but stopped when she felt hands on her hips and then slide to her stomach. She continued to smile as she kept lathering the wash before rinsing it off and turning around to face Gambit. Putting her arms around his neck, she kissed his chin.

"Ya distractin'." She said, seeing that devilish grin on his face.

"Dat's de point." He said softly as he kissed her lips as his hands ran down and gripped her buttocks.

"We don't have time for this, hun." She said, kissing his throat. "Maybe later, but we've got patrol and yesterday neither of us did it. Scott's gonna have a fit."

"Fuck Scott." Gambit said as Rogue pulled away gently and wet her hair with a smile.

"Be nice." Rogue said. "Ah know he seems like an asshole, but he's tha leader and means well. What we did was-"

"Listen." He cut her off as he took her hands. "He be a hypocrite. Jeanie tell me dey had sex in de pool twice. Sure it prob'ly years ago, but dat's de same t'in' we done in de showers."

"Jean told ya that?" Rogue asked, looking up at him kind of in disbelief.

"Yeah." He answered. "Yeste'day."

"Ah'm surprised she told ya." Rogue said.

"We had a intimate moment puttin' files in alph'betical order." He smirked.

"Ah see." Rogue smirked back as she faced the faucet. "Sounds romantic."

He chuckled as he pressed himself against her back and started to kiss her left shoulder and neck, his hands running over her stomach before going up and cupping her breasts. "Not as romantic as when I be wit' you." He said, littering her neck with kisses.

"Ya such an asshole." Rogue said with a smirk as she turned around and kissed him.

The kiss heated up quickly and she dropped her hand down and grabbed him, starting to work on getting him hard. "Mm." He moaned as he broke the kiss. "T'ought y' jus' wanted a shower."

"Like ah said, ya distractin'." She said as she hungrily kissed him.

"It's about time." Kitty said, seeing Gambit and Rogue walk into the kitchen holding hands. "It's almost noon. Cyclops was looking for you guys. Apparently you're suppose to be patrolling."

"Ah'm sure he was lookin' for us." Rogue said as she took her hand from Gambit and walked over, grabbing an apple. "We got distracted."

Kitty smirked. "Sounds like you two have been patrolling on each other." She said, seeing Gambit smirk. "By the look on your face, I'd say I hit the nail on the head."

"Is it so wrong that we wanna spend time with each other?" Rogue asked, washing the apple before taking a bite.

"No." Kitty said. "I think it's adorable, but Scott was fuming. So you might wanna go defuse him. Jean had no luck."

"God dammit." Rogue muttered as she looked at Gambit. "When's tha training?"

"Couple o' hours." He answered, watching her eyes look up at the ceiling. He knew she was calculating.

"Alright, ah'm gonna go see if ah can't calm him down." Rogue said, taking another bite before tossing the rest of the apple to Gambit. "I'll meet ya in tha danger room, sugah."

Watching her leave the kitchen, he took a bite of the apple before making a pot of coffee. "You guys got a training session?" Kitty asked.

"Jubes an' Wolvie wanna go up against us." Gambit said, pressing the button to start the coffee. "Couldn' say no."

Kitty chuckled. "You and Logan." She said, slightly shaking her head. "You know, I bet you two could be really good friends if you just tried to talk it out and understand each other."

Cocking an eyebrow, Gambit looked back at her causing her to laugh. "Wha' de hell kinda advice is dat? Logan wants t' kill me." He said.

"Oh please." Kitty said. "Logan is a big teddy bear."

"Don' t'ink we talkin' 'bout de same fur ball." Gambit smirked, sneaking a cup of coffee from the machine as it continued to drip. "Homme be angry since me an' Anna got toget'er. Guess he t'inks he her papa or somet'in'. Pisses me off. Can' wait fo' dis Danger Room train'in' t'day. Gonna t'row eve't'in' I got at 'im."

"Just don't destroy the school. Jeez." Kitty joked, causing Gambit to calm down a little. "But seriously, don't let him ruin you guys' happiness. It's been great seeing Rogue so happy. I actually never thought she'd ever be this happy."

"It be de sex." Gambit smirked, seeing Kitty's cheeks lightly turn a shade of pink.

"Okay, whoa!" She said, putting her hand up over her eyes. "Flash back to the showers. Yikes!"

Gambit chuckled as he took a sip of coffee and then a bite of the apple. "Merci fo' de chat." He said, winking at her before he head outside.

It was a warm day. No breeze, so being in the sun was torture but he made his way across the property to where the large trees lived. Sitting down under one of them, he finished the apple and his coffee before he lit up a cigarette. Taking his phone out, he checked his bank account and saw that the money from his job last night had been transfered. Smirking, he took a long drag before slowly letting it out. Last night's job made him miss it. He loved the challenge and the danger. Hell, he loved being a thief. It was his specialty, after all. He was the best in the world and he wasn't bragging. It was proven.

Blue smoke suddenly popped in front of him causing him to jump. "Shit!" Gambit said, realizing it was Nightcrawler. "Scared me good, homme."

"I apologize, mein Freund." He said, crouching down beside Gambit. "I heard zere is a Danger Voom session in two hours."

"How y' know 'bout dat?" Gambit asked, narrowing his gaze on the blue man.

Putting his thumb over his shoulder and pointing back to the mansion, he chuckled. "Logan told me." He said.

Gambit smirked. "Wolverine tryin' t' recruit help?" He asked. "He afraid t' take on me an' Rogue."

"Uh... Nein." Nightcrawler said. "He's putting togezer more teams to make it more intense. Like a tournament."

Taking another drag, Gambit turned his head and blew the smoke out away from the furry blue man. "Tou'nament, huh?" He asked. "Sound like fun. Could take de rest o' de day, no? Y' up fo' dat?"

"Zis is better zan training!" He said full of excitement. "Ve hardly ever get to do anyzing like zis."

"Who y' paired with?" Gambit asked.

"Kitty." He said with a smile.

"Don' seem fair havin' two on a team dat do basic'lly de same t'in'." Gambit teased.

"Our powvers are quite different, but I understand." Nightcrawler said as he let out a sigh. "Now I have to vait two hours. Es ist Folter."

Chuckling Gambit stood up and stretched his arms over head head before he picked up the mug and the apple core. "Well, I see y' in de Danger Room, mon ami." He said as he made his way back toward the mansion.
