CONCERN

Seeing the want in her eyes matched his own, he slowly closed the space between them, in fear that she might try to run away from him if he made any sudden movements, but her gaze never left his as he did so. He felt almost as if she were drawing him in. Just the mere looking at her made it seem as if her body were pure sin. He laid his hands gently down upon her hips, but as he leaned his lips down to touch hers she pulled away. Just as soon as she did, he stared at her back mentally kicking himself. 'Why in the world would she want me to do that. I haven't been here a day and I'm already trying to get laid. Great job once again Logan. Keep pushing, maybe she'll just totally reject you. Not that there isn't a possiblity to that now.'

She never looked at him, but merely whispered, "Ah'm sorry." then he heard her sniffle. 'Dammit, you made her cry too.' She was about to go into her room when he caught her by her wrist. She turned to him trying desperately not to look at him, not to let him see her like this.

"There isn't anything for you to be sorry about darlin'. If anything I should be the one apologizing to you." She allowed him to pull her into his chest where he embraced her in a tender hug. Marie couldn't handle it anymore letting go of the sobs. He seriously didn't know what to do. This wasn't exactly the kind of stuff he dealt with, so he just ran his fingers through her hair for a moment, enjoying the scent of her on him. He pulled her back just a little bit and picked her up and carried her to her bed. He gently laid her down, but just as he was about to go, she grabbed his wrist and lightly pulled him next to her.

"Don't leave meh please. Ah'm always alone." she whispered before she fell asleep. He laid down next to her looking her over. Logan tenderly fingered some of her hair from her face, trying to get a better view of this woman who has him acting against every good judgement, and against every animal instinct within him. As he pushed the hair back she moaned and turned to him, still asleep. Her voice was so sweet but at that moment he wanted to be the one to make her moan like that for a totally different reason. Her fingers lightly touched his arm sending a sensation he could no longer handle down his spine.

He nearly growled at himself for needing to protect her, from him. Knowing that it would be wrong to leave her after what she had just confided in him, but also knowing that if he didn't get away from her now, he was definitely going to get drained dry because she would want to kill him for what he was holding back wanting to do to her right this instant. He opted for the later, but not going far, by taking a really cold shower again. 'She is definitely going to pick up on this shower thing soon if I can't get my act together.' He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, knowing he had to get up but still did not want to. But then, his own mind worked against him on what he could be doing with her right now. He opened his eyes quickly, nearly jumping off the bed with only one thing in mind, 'cold shower.'

Logan made sure that he was there when she woke up. He also made sure that he was in a chair on the other side of the room, nowhere near her. She opened her eyes, smiling at him and then stretching. He had to turn away from this but he needed to know.

"What happened?" she looked back up at him startled.

"What'cha mean?" he looked at her this time.

"What happened that has you like this?" she sat up quickly, narrowing her eyes.

"Like what?" she asked venomously. He didn't care for that.

"Like this Marie." he growled at her. She looked away quickly, adverting her eyes on anything but him. He sighed, taking his hand and rubbing his face.

"I won't leave darlin'. I'm not going anywhere. Just tell me." he told her tenderly.

"It's not worth ya tahme." he stood up and went to her side and crouched down, taking his hand and placing it underneath her chin and making her look into his eyes.

"Let me be the judge of that."
