Author's Note- The song that I use is Hoobastank's "The Reason." WARNING: lemon ahead.


The Hotel


You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
-Bon Jovi


"Are you sure?" Pete asked.

"No," Kitty admitted. "Um... dance with me?"

He looked at her cocking an eyebrow. "If that's what ya want." She stood turning on a radio. He got up and stepped over to her.


"I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you"


Kitty cuddled close as they swayed together. Pete listened to the song and smiled wryly. It fit perfectly for him. Kitty had somehow wormed her way into his heart and became his everything.


"I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you"


Kitty raised her head so he could kiss her. He wondered as he gazed down into those blue eyes gazing so lovingly and trustingly into his own, what he had done to deserve her.


"I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you"


He gently nuzzled her neck as the song faded out. "I love you, Kitty," he whispered.

"I love you too, Pete," Kitty said gently. She was silent for a few seconds. "I think I'm ready."

He searched her eyes and regarded her seriously. "Grasshopper, if you have any doubts-"

"No doubts," she promised him. "I'm a little scared but I don't have any doubts. I've wanted this pretty much since I met you. There's just something about you that makes me long for things that I never even let myself think about before. I guess Rogue getting kidnapped got me thinking. I don't want anything to happen to either of us before I get the chance to show you how much I love you."

He wondered briefly how her saying little things like that managed to touch him in ways no other woman had. He ran one hand gently through her hair. "Kit, you don't have t' show me anything. I know."

"I want to, though. I want to do this."

He smiled. "As long as you're sure."

"Positive," she smiled back, although, a bit shyly. He sat down and reached out pulling her onto his lap. He gently cupped her cheek in one hand. She turned her head and placed a gentle kiss on his palm. He laid down and pulled her with him so his lips could find hers.

His mouth coaxed hers open so his tongue could explore within. She sighed against his lips pressing her body closer to his. He suddenly rolled both of them over so he rested over top of her. He could feel her body tremble ever so slightly as he ran his hand over her stomach. "Pete?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I've never done this," she confessed in a whisper. "I... don't know what I'm supposed to do."

"Right now I just want you to relax," he said. "Let me lead." He kissed her neck softly. Pete took off his sweater and her t-shirt. He grinned looking down at her. "I like." She blushed looking away. "So... were ya plannin' this?"

"Jubilee and Amara picked this out too," Kitty said.

"I'm startin' to like yer friends." He groaned softly when she ran her hands over his exposed chest. When she lowered her head to lick at a bead of sweat, his groan wasn't at all quiet. "For someone who doesn't know wot t' do yer awful good." She smiled at his comment and raised her face to his for a slow, gentle kiss.

He reached around her back and undid her bra. He saw her flush as he slid it off of her. "So damn beautiful," Pete whispered huskily. She blushed even more. He slowly lowered his head to her breast.

He ran his tongue in a circle around her nipple causing a soft gasp. His mouth closed over it and she gave a soft inarticulate moan arching herself into his mouth. He felt her legs move restlessly as he gently sucked the soft flesh. His fingers moved to her other breast gently teasing her other nipple into a peak. He unzipped her skirt and she kicked it off.

He ran his hand slowly over her legs. She whimpered when he slid his hand under her panties beginning to stroke her gently. Her hands went to the belt of his jeans and she practically tore it off. She tossed the belt off of the bed and he stood taking off his jeans and boxers. Her eyes widened as she looked at him. Pete tensed under her scrutiny, he would admit, to himself at least, that he was a little self-conscious when it came to his body.

She licked her lips as she took in his body. "Wow," she murmured. He smiled, relaxing slightly. He grabbed a condom out of his wallet and sheathed himself quickly and efficiently. He climbed over her again and kissed her. He ran his hands slowly down her sides and hooked his thumbs under the band of her panties dragging them down and off.

She lifted her hips helping him as he slipped them off. "Kit, luv, I need you t' tell me now. Are ya sure?"

"Yes," Kitty said. He kissed her with all of his passion as he began to stroke her once again. She made a small kitten like sound arching her hips slightly at the motions of his hand. He smiled continuing his actions until he knew that she was as ready as she could be. "Please."

He positioned himself and began to slowly slide himself into her warmth. He thrust into her fully, wanting to get the pain over with as quickly as he could. She whimpered and dug her nails into his shoulder. "You okay, luv?"

"I think so," she said as the pain faded to a dull ache. He began to move slowly. Kitty gasped at the feeling. There was still some pain but it was fading quickly to a haze of pleasure that was quickly taking over her. "Pete..."

"You feel so bloody good," Pete whispered his breath stirring her hair. "So tight and hot." She wrapped her legs around his legs pulling him closer still. He began to move quicker causing her to cry out softly. "I love you," he whispered as she fell into her release. He found his own release with a hoarse cry and collapsed over her. After a few moments he rolled off of her and disposed of his condom.

"I love you too, Pete," Kitty whispered cuddling close.

"Let's get some sleep," Pete yawned wrapping his arms around her tightly. "We're gonna have a long day tomorrow."

"Yeah," Kitty said laying her head on his chest. She fell asleep listening to the strong beat of his heart and feeling his hand stroking her hair. Pete stayed awake a while longer wondering how he had ever gotten so lucky.
