In Rogue's mind, she slapped Remy as hard as she could across his cheek. But in reality, he still had her pushed up against the wall and their lips were still attached. Back in her mind, she was now stomping all over him.

"Remy." Rogue whispered against his lips as his hands ran up and down her sides. "I don't want to absorb you." His hands rested on her hips.

"Wouldn't you have already?" He asked, squeezing her hips as he pulled her against him. He leaned in, kissing her once again.

This time Rogue was left breathless and felt lightheaded. "I.." She started to say when her eyes met Remy's. "I.." Her eyes rolled up into the back of her head and she then fell forward into his arms.

--------

Remy sat on a chair that he had placed next to his bed where Rogue was laying. He felt slightly energy drained, but that could have been from the fact he was still tired.

"Nice boxers." Rogue mumbled from her prone position on his bed. She turned her head and stared at him.

He smirked. "They're silk. Want to feel?"

"Maybe later."

"You feelin' okay? Girls don't usually faint after kissin' me. They just rip off my clothes and have their evil ways with me."

"Not this girl, sugah."

"What, you don't want me to spoon you?"

Rogue sat up, got off the bed and quickly started walking to the door, "Okay, I'm out of here." Remy immediately sprung up and grabbed her before she could leave.

"Don't."

"Why? Or you'll randomly tackle me?" She shot him a look. "And before you try kissin' me again, remember I can absorb your ass, Swamp rat."

"Why didn't you absorb me before?"

"Because it's a full moon? I don't know, leave me alone."

"Leave you alone? But you want me."

"Yes, I want you unconscious on the floor."

He blinked, not fully getting her sarcasm. "Didn't know you were into the kinky stuff."

Rogue couldn't hide the smile that formed on her face. "You really blonde, Remy?"

"Says the girl with platinum blonde hair." He tugged on a ringlet of her white hair. He leaned in and softly kissed her forehead.

"Didn't you hate me yesterday?"

"I never hated you."

"Could've fooled me."

He pulled her over to his bed. "Did I ever tell you I was sorry for tacklin' you?"

"Don't know. Can't recall it. Want to show me how sorry you are?" Rogue asked with a teasing smile.

The door suddenly opened and Mattie peered in. "Could you two please try to be more quiet? These walls are paper thin."

Both Rogue and Remy choked on their spit.

--------

The next morning, Rogue woke up tangled in sheets white Remy laid on the floor with one leg propped up on the bed. After spending a good five minutes on untangling herself, she slowly slid off the bed and sat down next to him.

With a small sigh, she gently touched his lips with her index finger and traced patterns down his neck and onto his chest. As she ran her finger down the smooth center of his chest, she could feel her powers dying to absorb a life source. It was as if her powers were bouncing against an invisible force field and with each hit; they became closer to the surface.

There was no way she was going to allow herself to absorb him. As quietly as she could, she got to her feet and quickly walked out of the room.

--------

Rogue scrambled into her room and fell on her knees right in front of the nightstand near her neatly made bed. She opened up the drawer, and took out a kit. She then sat crossed legged on her bed, opened the kit and took out a syringe that had a clear liquid in it.

Mystique sent her a package once a month, containing a serum that would delay the effect of her powers. What a motherly gift.

Rogue just sighed heavily as she took off the plastic lid.

--------

He had woken up the second he heard the sound of his creaking door. Remy groaned and sat up. He stumbled over to the alarm clock where he found out it was only a quarter after eight. A whimper escaped his lips as he fell back with a heavy thud. There was no way he was going to be able to fall back to sleep. His muscles groaned as he unwilling got to his feet. "Better go see what Rogue is up to."

--------

Rogue sat on the counter in the kitchen wearing red flannel pants and a black tank top. She was running an ice cube down her arms and neck. "I hate the heat."

"You're in heat?" Remy pondered, walking into the kitchen. His brows arched up when he saw her. "Need some assistance?"

"Yeah. Want to do my back?"

He smirked. "Do I ever." He walked over to the fridge and pulled out two trays of ice cubes. "Lets go do this on the porch."

She shook the water off her hand. "You want to go out on the porch in only your boxers?"

He glanced down. "I should put pants on, shouldn't I?"

While Rogue's insides where screaming 'hell no!' she only managed to nod her head.

--------

'I'm goin' to have to take a long cold shower after this.' Remy said to himself as he ran an ice cube around Rogue's shoulders. They were sitting outside on the porch in the humid weather. "When are you goin' to do this to me?"

"When the ice cube doesn't melt before it touches the skin." She mumbled, leaning back into him.

"Ah, so never?"

"You're goin' to have to give me time." Rogue said quietly after a few minutes.

"Oh. You're a virgin, aren't you?"

"That has nothin' to do with it, dipshit! I'm just so used to arguin' with ya."

"Who says we aren't goin' to argue anymore?"

She paused. "Good question."

His arm slipped around her neck. "So, want to go do some old fashin' blood wrestlin'?"

"Oh, Remy, you're so romantic."

--------

"You two have fun early this morning?" Mattie asked the two as she walked into the kitchen.

"Well, if you must know, Tante Mattie you're goin' to be a great aunt." He paused. "Or somethin'."

Rogue just looked down at her stomach.

"You two haven't even known each other long enough." Mattie said with a dry laugh. "But it is good you two are gettin' along." She cleared her throat as Jean-Luc entered the kitchen. "Because you two would have to anyway."

Rogue and Remy just exchanged glances.

"Where's the damn ice?" Jean-Luc snapped just minutes later.
