Chapter 4:

They had been on the road for about an hour when they heard the sound of other vehicles behind them. Logan saw in the retro visor that an army truck was following them. He recognized the people from the chalet in the vehicle. He was ready to press on the little red button again, when he heard shooting. Bullets passed by, one hitting Logan in the elbow. Shania didn't notice, because Logan didn't say anything as his healing factor mended the wound.

"Don't move!" he heard Shany shout from behind.

She let go of his waist and turned on the left side of the motorcycle. She passed her legs in front of Logan, and was now facing him while he was driving. She sat, now holding onto Logan's back and pulled out her gun.

She aimed at the glass windshield in front of the army truck and it formed a hole on the right side, shooting the driver between the eyes.

"Go!" she shouted at Logan, seeing that the truck was now heading for the ditch and that no other vehicle was following behind.

Logan pressed on the little red button, and the speed augmented. Shania placed her gun back into her belt, but didn't go back behind Logan, to his bliss. She crossed her legs around his back and passed her arms around his neck as he continued driving.

They rode in silence for a few hours, wanting to put the most distance between them and those men. Logan finally had to stop to refill, because they were running low on gas.

The place where they stopped was a small village. The only buildings they could clearly identify were a bar, the gas station and the local store. One they guessed was a motel, and the others were stockrooms of some sort, or houses.

While Logan was paying the man at the station, Shania, looked around. They were already late in the afternoon and passing the night on the road didn't excite her.

"Hey, Logan," she asked to him before starting off on the road again. "Could we stop for the night in the next town?"

"Okay," he said as he mounted the bike again.

Shania mounted behind him and they were off again. The next decent town was at more than three hours of road away, but it didn't take them to long to get there, comparing it at what time it would have taken without the little red button. When they stopped, their cheeks were red and they were both cold and starving.

Logan parked in front of the motel and walked to the bar next to it, to see if they could still be served a decent meal. Shania went to the motel to reserve a room. After that, she joined Logan in the bar. Many folks turned their heads as she walked to Logan, because it was pretty rare to see beautiful women in these parts of Canada. They went back to their drinks after a good stare. Logan was the only thing that stopped them from walking over to her.

Shany sat in the chair next to him.

The only good thing they got from the kitchen were two cheeseburgers. They both ate fast and ordered a beer afterwards. It was passed midnight when they came back to the motel.

Shania walked in front of Logan, looking at the numbers on each door of the motel. She stopped in front of the last one, seeing the number twenty-one on it. She pulled out a key from her pocket and opened the door. The room was dark and she searched for the light switch as Logan came in behind her. She finally found the little switch. The room was decorated with bad taste, but it was still very suitable. There were two queen size beds separated by a night table, a television and a table with two chairs next to the window. Logan could see the bathroom door at the other end. Shany yawned and turned on the television. The news were on and a lady in a formal blue suit was talking about the mutant regulations that were going slightly off the mutants' side.

Logan took off his vest and threw it on the table. He turned towards the window and stretched his arms in the air.

He could see absolutely nothing outside.

"Hey!" he heard Shania exclaim.

He turned around and saw her get up and walk to him.

"What?" he asked, looking at her turn to his back.

"You were shot," she said, alarmed. "There's a hole and blood on your shirt. Wait here," she said, running to the bathroom.

Logan heard the water tap run for a while, then nothing. She came back with a small wet towel in her hands.

"I really don't think its necessary," he said, thinking about his healing ability.

Instead of stopping she forced him to sit on the bed. Seeing that it was useless to try and stop her, he let her have it her way. He pulled off his shirt to her order and felt her sit behind him. A chill went down his spine as the cold towel came in contact with his skin.

By now, she would have seen that there wasn't any wound, but there was probably blood where the bullet had hit. Shania cleaned the area and got up without saying anything.

Logan saw her go back to the bathroom with the towel that was now a pinkish color. Logan didn't move, listening to what she was doing. When she came back out, her hair was untied and she had cleaned her face and hands.

She walked to the television and turned it off.

That's when she felt two strong arms tenderly pass around her waist. She felt her heart beat faster as she felt him get closer to her. Logan bent his head to her left and she closed her eyes, feeling him kiss the base of her neck. He kissed her over and over, making her lean lightly against him. Her arms passed slowly near his sides and passed around his neck, as he was pulled even closer. She smiled as he bit her elbow lightly, sending an electric current of emotions in her body as he kept on kissing her. Logan noticed her breathing getting faster. Unable to resist, she turned around, looked into his love filled eyes and leaned towards him. She pressed her lips against his, kissing him so passionately and ardently Logan thought he was drowning in love and desire. He gave her back the kiss fervently as her hands passed into his hair and back. Without stopping kissing her, he slowly pulled the fastener of her leather vest. It took him a while to find the right way to take it off, but it worked after a little resistance. He kissed her savagely, pressing her body against his as they enlaced each other with passion. He kissed her again, this time with more avidity and tenderness not being able to stop himself from touching her perfect body. She moaned as his hands glided in her back, on her hips and back to her neck. He stopped for an instant, taken aback by this woman of incomparable beauty, just waiting for him to caress and kiss her. He kissed her lips, her cheeks, her neck as her hands moved over his powerful muscles encouragingly. Shan's breathing was faster as she moaned, repeating Logan's name softly. Slowly they walked to the bed without taking their hands off each other. Logan searched for the light switch and turned it off as she pulled him towards the bed.

I'm sure you're thinking 'Wow that went almost too fast' but there is a reason it happened like that . . .

. . . . . . . . . hum. Well . . . it's not going to be a Mary-Sue. Not that I really see something against a Mary-Sue, but still.
