The Flirt and the Rogue

Chapter 8 – The First Lesson Part 2
~*~*~*Recap on Cliffhanger*~*~*~
Gambit attacked Rogue with aim and precision and she deflected his attacks. Her motions were strong and she was clearly skilled but she had poor form. Often she left herself open for attack and he pinned her with his staff. As he stepped up his attacks, she stepped up her defense. They continued to fight and he was impressed by her determination. He moved to attack her from above and she managed to knock his feet out from underneath him. He let out a slightly surprised yelp as he landed on her butt. "Dat was good chere," Remy complimented before kicking her feet out from underneath her.
Rogue landed on her butt in his lap. Rogue glared at him as she tried to push herself off of him. He snaked his arms around her waist and held her down to him. She began to sweat and she felt her nerves grow. She didn't like her close proximity to him. "Let go of meh Swamp Rat."
~*~*~*End of Recap*~*~*~
"Non. Remy be comfortable," Gambit whispered into her ear. His warm breath tickled her ear and she squirmed uncomfortably.
"Well, Ah don't care if Remy is comfortable, Ah'm not!" Rogue cried still pushing against him.
"Why not? Bot' o' us be fully covered chere." Gambit pulled her even closer as he spoke. Rogue, who was now completely in his lap, continued to squirm angrily. Gambit felt himself get, well, excited. "Cher, mebbe y' shouldn' squirm," he tried to warn her but it was too late.
Rogue felt *him* and she immediately sat up really strait. "Ya know, Ah've had nightmares lahke this," she growled at him.
"Always knew Remy be de man o' y' dreams," the Cajun smirked.
Rogue managed to rotate her body so that she could look at Remy's face. She rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "Ya caught meh. Ah'm secretly in love with ya. Oops, secret's out. Ya wily charm has won meh ova. Take meh heah an' now."
"Well if y' really wan' Remy, he's sure dat he could find a way around y' mutation," Remy responded with a suggestive wink.
Rogue glared angrily at him and would have retorted except, "What's goin' on in here?"
At a speed that would have made Quicksilver blink, Rouge scampered out of Remy's lap and was a good five feet away from him. "Logan!" she cried in shock. "Ya nearly gave meh a heart attack."
Wolverine had an angry look on his face. "Ya didn't answer the question darlin'. Or should I ask Gumbo over there." Logan gestured toward Remy who had lifted himself up easily and was dusting himself off.
Gambit looked up to see the other two looking at him expectantly. "Defense training?" he offered with a shrug and another wink at Rogue.
"Wrong answer bub," Logan growled. He shot out his claws and looked ready to pounce on the Cajun.
Rogue stepped between Logan and his soon to be prey. "No Logan, he's tellin' the truth. I knocked him down and then he knocked meh down an' Ah fell on him. Then ya came in. That's it."
"That true Gumbo?" Wolverine asked, still glaring. His gaze never left the other "teacher".
"Oui, mon cher never lies," Remy never broke his stare down with the feral man.
"Okay," Logan said, not satisfied. "Could ya give me a moment with Rogue, I need to talk to her."
Remy nodded and swiftly exited the room, placing his and Rogue's Bo Staff back from where he picked it up from on his way out.
Logan watched Gambit exit the room and turned back to Rogue. "Why are you lyin' to me Rogue? I thought we were closer than that."
"Look Logan, Ah knew that ya knew Ah was lyin'. It's just embarrassin' the way he…" Rogue trailed off looking down at her hands unsure how to continue.
"What did he do darlin'?" Wolverine asked concerned. His concern turned to suspicion and anger. "Did he hurt ya? I smell him on ya, what's goin' on."
"He's neva hurt meh," Rogue said hastily afraid of what Logan's claws might do to the Cajun boy. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "He just… flirts with meh. Constantly."
"Okay," Logan was clearly confused. "So what was really happenin' when I walked in?"
"Well, Ah wasn't lyin' about how we got on the floor. It's just that, once we were down, he hugged meh to him an' we were talkin' an' then ya walked in on us," Rogue explained in a whisper knowing that his sensitive ears could hear her.
"So that's why I smelled arousal and lust on the boy?" there was a hint of laughter in his voice and his eyebrows were raised expectantly.
Rogue blushed and looked back down on her hands. "Well, Ah wasn't very cooperative an' Ah was squirmin' ta get off of him. An' Ah guess that he got a little…"
"Horny, excited, hard?" Wolverine supplied innocently.
Rogue's blush grew and her whole face turned red. "Yeah," she whispered almost inaudibly.
"He likes you," Logan stated, taking out a cigar. Rogue glared at him and he held up his hands defensively and put it back in his shirt pocket.
"No, he lusts meh. The untouchable girl. Ya know a thief always looks fo' a challenge. That's all Ah am. Don't ya know? He ain't the boyfriend type. He's the love 'em an' leave 'em type." Rogue looked up at Wolverine. "An' Ah am not gettin' hurt again. The good boy may have turned out ta be a jerk, but Ah highly doubt that the jerk could turn out ta be a good boy."
"Maybe yer right," Logan agreed. "Or maybe yer just afraid of findin' somebody again."
"Leave it alone Logan," Rogue told him coldly. "Ah gotta go. Bye."
"Bye darlin'," Logan said as he watched her retreating form. "See ya in the mornin'."
Rogue grunted in response as she exited the room. 'Damn, the girl's picked up some of my bad habbits. And temper. That poor Cajun don't know what the hell he's getting into.'
*Swings a pocket watch back and forth* You are getting sleepy, very, very sleepy. *Reader snores* When I snap my fingers, you will review. *Snap* One more chappy left… tell me what you think.
