Logan made his way up stairs to the recreation room. Standing in the doorway he saw Marie sitting in an overstuffed chair, seemingly lost in thought. Entering the room he made his way over to her.

"Hey, kid." Marie looked up and smiled.

"Hi Logan." Logan hunkered down next to her chair.

"What cha doing," he asked?

"Nothing really. Just thinking about the trip Storm and Cyclops are taking. Wishing I could go as well." Marie sighed.

"Trip? What trip," he asked in obvious confusion?

"The trip they told us about in this mornings meeting, you know the one you missed." Marie replied.

Logan grunted.

"Yeah, well I had something else to do. So why don't you tell me about this trip."

Marie rolled her eyes at Logan before replying.

"Storm and Cyclops are going on a trip to recruit new members for the team. Cyclops thinks and Storm agrees that the X-Men's ranks need to be strengthened. He says that although Magneto has been relatively quiet lately, that he won't stay that way and when he returns he will be better prepared and deadlier than ever. He says that the army that Magneto managed to recruit with the introduction of the cure was nothing. That now that he has time, he will go after and train only the best mutants possible to fight his war and that we must be prepared to counter that attack."

Logan grunted as Marie finished.

"Sounds like a good plan. Why do you want to go on a recruiting mission? Got to know that with those two it'll be work and then more work."

Marie shrugged her shoulders.

"I just thought it would be nice to get away from here for a little while." Marie smiled at Logan. "Besides I don't think that Storm and Cyclops have just work on their minds. I was picking up on some pretty strong vibes from them and I think they'll be getting hot and heavy in no time."

Marie frowned as Logan growled low in his throat.

"What is your problem with Ro and Scott being together? Marie glared at Logan.

"Nothing, I don't have any problem with them."

"Good, because they deserve to be happy and if they can be happy together that's even better."

"Yeah, well, while they're off being happy together Jeannie is down in the med lab being miserable."

"That's not their fault Logan, nor is it their responsibility. God! Do you really think that everyone should live their lives according to what makes Jean happy? You know you need to get over this whole Jean thing. If Jean is unhappy it's her own fault, she needs to deal and so do you!" Marie rises from her chair, and shoots a withering glare at Logan and stomps out of the recreation room.

Logan rises from his crouching position by Marie's chair as she leaves the room, walking over to the terrace doors he looks out over the lawn towards the lake house to see Scott and Ro heading inside. Logan frowns as he thinks about what Marie has said. It wasn't that he didn't want Ro to be happy, Summer's he didn't care one way or the other, it was just that he didn't want to see Jean unhappy and seeing Ro and Scott together would definitely make her unhappy. Logan sighed. Perhaps this trip would help in more ways than one. It could bring needed support to the X-Men and it would get Scott and Ro out of the mansion and away from Jean, to give her the time she needed to get used to the idea of Scott and Ro being together. Logan started across the terrace as a thought suddenly struck him. If Scott and Ro were going on a trip then Scott wouldn't be needing his bike and never let it be said that the Wolverine allowed a beauty like that to waste away due to neglect.

Ro sat on Scott's with her legs crossed and her back against the headboard, watching as Scott began packing for their trip. Ro sat quietly as Scott placed his toiletries and underwear in the suitcase but when he went to the closet and started pulling out clothing she had to speak up.

"Not that one."

Scott turned toward Ro with a look of confusion on his face.

"What's wrong with this one? I wear it here at school all the time." Scott looked at the sweater vest he was holding in his hand and back at Ro, clearly confused about her objection. Ro smiled at Scott's look of confusion. "You are so cute when you look befuddled as for what you're holding, two words for you, sweater vest."

Scott smiled at Ro's words.

"If you think I look cute when I'm befuddled, you're going to love how I look when I'm positively stymied." Scott continued to grin as he laid the sweater vest on the end of the bed and pushed the suitcase out of the way. Sitting down next to Ro he lifts her legs and pulls her until her legs are hanging over his and she is laying flat on her back. Moving so that he is leaning over her he continues to tease. "And I'll have you know that the sweater vest is making a come back. I have been told that it is the height of fashion and no self respecting math teacher would be caught dead without one."

Ro slid her hand up Scott's side and across his chest to play with the buttons on his oxford shirt.

"Hmm, the height of fashion? I hadn't heard. Clearly, I haven't been keeping up to date with the latest fashion trends." Ro smirked as she used her hand to push Scott over and then swung her leg over his hip so that she was straddling his waist. Leaning in close she whispered, "Perhaps you could help bring me up to speed."

Scott slid his hands up Ro's thighs to her hips and smiled up at her. "I think the speed you're going is just fine."

"That's good," Ro murmurs before she brushes her lips across Scott's, once, twice, three times before gently sucking on his lower lip. Releasing his lip and rising up she looked down at Scott and licked her lips a slight smile on her face.

"Oh, that's very good." Scott said as he runs his tongue across his lower lip. Leaning up he captures Ro's mouth in a gentle kiss, gradually deepening it as the kiss went on; at the same time allowing his hands to roam from her hips up to her waist. Pulling her shirt from her pants he gently strokes the area he has exposed. Releasing her mouth he skims he teeth down her jaw to her neck where he softly nuzzles the exposed skin.

Ro runs her hands down his chest, releasing the buttons on his shirt to allow access to the skin below. Parting the material Ro splays her hands across his abdomen before sliding them up over his chest and back down again, nails gently scraping against the exposed flesh.

Scott allows his head to fall back to the bed at Ro's actions. Looking up into her eyes he smiles.

"God, you drive me wild. Every time I touch you I don't want to stop."

Ro smiled back at Scott. "It seems to be a trait we share."

Scott rolled to the side, so that Ro was laying next to him on the bed, their legs intertwined Scott leaned forward once again and captured Ro's mouth in a kiss. Sliding his hands up her torso his palms cupped her breast, his fingers tweaking her nipples, plumping them, readying them for his mouth. Releasing her mouth he slid gently down her body nuzzling softly at her breast, until finally his mouth closed over the taut tingling nipple, sucking…

Ro moaned in pleasure, grinding against the thigh that was captured between hers. Her body writhed with pleasure as he pulled and licked and sucked on her turgid nipple, and murmured against her taut skin, "More…everything…need…always…" as if he was losing himself in the abandoned response of his sucking on her.

He kept on and on; she wanted him to take the whole of her breast in his mouth; she wanted to give him what he demanded everything, everywhere. She couldn't give him enough; her body arched against him, begging for more, her hands working convulsively in his hair.

Scott wanted more. He wanted it all. He needed….

'Scott.'

Scott groaned and fell back against the bed an arm flung across his face as he heard the Professor's voice in his head. 'Yes, Professor?'

'Have you forgotten about our meeting?'

'No…no, I'm on my way.'

Scott rubbed his hand over his face before turning his head to view Ro, who lay panting at his side.

"The Professor," she inquired?" Scott nodded in response. "His timing leaves a lot to be desired."

"Yeah, tell me about it." Scott shifted as he tried to adjust himself into a more comfortable position. "I'm supposed to be meeting with him in his office in a few minutes." Scott smiled. "I guess I got distracted."

"I guess we both did." Ro untangled her legs from Scott's and sat up, swinging her legs around she sat on the edge of the bed as Scott scooted over next to her and sat up as well. "Why don't you go to your meeting and I'll finish packing for you."

Scott looked back at his suitcase and sweater vest. "I don't know. Can I trust you to pack for me? After all you did malign my sweater vest," he said with a smirk.

Ro looked at him with a devilish look on her face. "Well I guess you're just going to have to take the chance now aren't you?"

Scott laughed and rose from the bed, pulling Ro with him. Bringing her close he kisses her once more before murmuring, "I guess I am." Releasing her he turns for the door only to stop and inquire, "Any chance of us finishing this later?"

Ro looks over at him and smiles.

"I would say there was a very good chance of that happening." Scott smiles once more and leaves the room. Ro turns and picks up the sweater vest off the bed. "I'm sorry but it doesn't appear that there will be room for you on this flight." Making her way over to the closet she contemplates the clothes she thinks Scott will look best in.
