Rogue, her heart pounding, traced the hand till she found it belonged to none other then Mr. Remy Lebeau. He opened his demonic eyes and Rogue just froze, her heart pounded, and her head spun. He had caught her! She knew she shouldn't have done it but she had. What had possessed her to?
"MMmmm." Remy said sitting up but keeping his warm hand around her wrist. He then pulled it so Rouge was forced closer to him. She didn't' resist, she couldn't! She could hear her heart beating in her ears.
Remy lifted the covers on his bed and pulled her onto it.
No! Rogue thought desperately. He can't know Ah can touch 'im!
Remy let the covers fall over her and let go of her hand so he could wrap his arms around her. His silence was torturous. He was hardly reacting. What did this mean?
"Remy must say dat dis is defiantly one o' his better dreams." Remy said suddenly with a grin.
Rogue just gaped at him for a second, then felt a sudden wave of relief. He thought it was a dream, thought it wasn't real! Now all she had to do was to keep him thinking that it was a dream, but how could she do that? How would dream Rogue act?
He lifted a hand from around her waist to her face where he caressed her cheek. She closed her eyes, intoxicated by the touch. He lifted his other hand to her face and she just sat there letting his fingers roam and caress her face.
Suddenly she felt warm, moist lips press against hers. She was going to protest and push away but the kiss was ten times more intoxicating then his callused fingers exploring the curves of her face.
A warmth took over her and everything around her faded, even her thoughts. All that existed was Remy and herself. With only them existing she had no reason to resist him and she leaned in and kissed him back. He wrapped one arm around her back and he pulled her tightly against him and pinned her arms between her chest and his own. She didn't mind, didn't know that she should, just rested her hands on his muscular chest.
Remy loosened his grip on her back to wrap both arms once again around her waist. Without him pinning her arms to him she moved them up and rested them on his shoulders. She felt like a completely different person in a completely different world. She wasn't the untouchable gothic Rogue. She was touchable and at the moment indifferent to stereotypes.
Remy lifted his hands up to rest on her neck then slid them down to her shoulders. His hands began to press against the straps of her shirt off her shoulders and as his hands absently moved down her arms they pressed the straps further down. Something in her screamed. Then reality hit her like a physical blow and she jerked away suddenly.
Remy looked slightly surprised but couldn't say anything. Neither of them could. Their breathes were ragged and were breathing hard.
Remy smirked. "Now dats a dream!" His face then became contemplative. Rogue panicked for a second. She knew that he was wondering if in fact this was a dream. She had to say or do something to make him believe it was just a dream and quick! But what could she do?
"Remy…" She said, not really knowing what to do.
His eyes focused on her and he looked at her questioningly. "Yes chere?"
"Duncan and yer-"
"It was not'ing. It wasn' even really a bet. Remy jus' knew; or t'ought he knew; dat chere wouldn' give inta a guy like him. Remy t'ought it'd be amusin' t'watch him crash n' burn. He still dun completely understand why yo gave inta him."
"Did ya eveh think it was because o' you?" Rogue asked.
Remy nodded. "Remy ain't stupid chere. He get dat much." He replied.
"And Jean?" Rogue asked, but cursed herself for doing so. He was going to figure out this wasn't a dream!
"Huh? Oh." He chuckled. "Remy got no interest in her. He just flirt wit' her t'make Shades boy jealous. Quite amusin' if ya ask me."
Rogue didn't respond and Remy slid a finger across her arm.
"Dis dun feel like no dream." He muttered as he absently continued to caress her arm. Her heart skipped a beat. He had to believe this was a dream!
As he slipped deeper into thought Rogue became desperate. If he found out this was real she'd never hear the end of it! She leaned forward and his hand stopped and he looked at her. She had his eyes now but not his attention.
She kissed him. She couldn't believe it, but she defiantly had his attention now.
Remy's eyes widened as she kissed him. If it had been real he could understand her letting him kiss her, but her kissing him? That was a dream! A dream come true.
He quickly kissed back and wrapped his arms around her.
They remained like this for a while before Rogue drew back to catch her breath. Remy did too and he laid down, pulling Rogue with him. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her body tightly against his. The next thing he knew he was asleep. But not only did he fall asleep, but Rogue did too.
Rogue jolted awake. Something wasn't right. Someone had their bare arm around her, some if it touching her partially exposed middrift.
Suddenly the events of the last night hit her and she panicked. Carefully she turned to look at him but he was still asleep. She held in her sigh of relief though. He could wake at any moment and if that happened… …
Carefully she moved out from under his arm and out of the bed. She stared at him for a brief moment. She had obviously noticed from the start that he was handsome and this didn't help her pry her eyes off of him. She just couldn't' believe what had happened.
Quickly she slipped out of his room and fled to hers not knowing that someone had seen her leave, seen her flee.

Rogue stood alone in the kitchen making breakfast. John and Remy were still asleep and Piotr was in the library. She was still shocked by what had happened but figured that if she just kept her cool no one would know. Hopefully, especially, Remy. She'd never hear the end of it if he knew that!
Piotr and Remy came into the kitchen and her heart began to beat faster when she saw Remy. Jus' keep yo cool Rogue, ya can do that. She reassured herself.
"Ya boys in here wantin' some breakfast?" Rogue asked.
"Mmmmm, Remy t'ink he'd defiantly like dat."
"If you want to." Piotr replied with a shrug.
"Two yes's." Rogue muttered and Piotr chuckled slightly.
"No, that's three yes's." John corrected walking into the kitchen. Despite his request for Rogue to make him breakfast he went and got himself a rather large bowl of cereal.
"Ya ask p'tite fo' breakfast den make it yo'self?" Remy questioned.
"Oh, this is a side dish." John replied, dropping the large bowl of cereals onto the table and throwing a spoon into it.
Somehow John managed to finish that massive bowl of cereal before Rogue finished making their breakfast. Not long before though and she quickly served what she had made.
John immediately took it to the living room and Remy stood to follow him. He stopped at the door though and turned to grinned at Rogue.
"Remy had a dream 'bout yo las' night chere." He said with a wicked grin.
Rogue snorted. "And Ah hope Ah slapped ya silly." Rogue retorted.
"How could yo do dat while ya were kissin' me?" He asked, his grin only broadening.
Rogue rolled her eyes and picked her food up to leave. Remy just laughed and went to the living room after John. Rogue headed to go to her room when a hand was placed lightly on her arm. She looked up to see Piotr.
"That wasn't a dream, I saw you leave his room." Piotr said.
Rogue cringed and looked around. She then led him to the library. No one else went in there.
"It was a mistake. Ah jus' wanted t'touch someone an' since he was like the only one Ah can… Ah didn't expect him t'wake up."
"How can you touch him?" Piotr asked. Rogue sighed but quickly explained it to him. Piotr nodded but quickly moved back to topic. "And what all did you do with him?" He questioned like a brother would a sister.
"Not much! Ah needed t'make him believe it was a dream so Ah let him kiss meh. It didn' go any father then that though!" Rogue assured him.
Piotr nodded. "Just be careful." Piotr said softly.
Rogue nodded. "Ah will. Ah didn't even mean t'go in his room in the first place. It jus' kinda happened. Ah mean, Ah had yo's and Magnus' thoughts in mah head and Ah couldn't think straight." She explained.
Piotr nodded again, but this time sympathetically. There was then a short pause. "Why don't you come down to the living room and join us. Just sit away from Remy and I'm sure you'll be fine." Piotr offered.
Rogue smiled. "As ya wish sugah."

Sorry it took me so long to update!!! My computer was being stupid and would let the floppy thing work and that's where I had this chapter saved. SOOOOO sorry! I'll try not to let it happen again! Pleeeeease forgive me! Lol.
As to why Rogue doesn't know what's on the disk, Magneto would have concentrated on mainly his powers so that's what Rogue mostly got, but because he had such a tragic childhood she still got some of that. Or… that's my excuse. Lol. And yes, the gun scene Was inspired by the movie. I just loved the visual. Oh.. and you'll find out about Gambit's disk later, but it's really not that important so don't worry 'bout it. lol.
Oh, and one of you made the comment that I am evil and sadistic, that is all to true.
Yes Yumiko I've read both Crown Duel and Court Duel and I do love them both.! I had figured out who the 'secret admirer' was early on though but it was still good. And Is there going to be something next?
