Chapter Five

A shy smile danced across my lips as I woke up in Wade's loose grasp. My back was to his chest and his leg was awkwardly wrapped between my legs. Being in the cramped single bed with him was starting to make me realize how much larger he was than me. He was almost twice my size and don't let me forget to mention those muscles. Ohh boy.

"Wade."

He shifted his shoulders unconsciously acknowledging me in his sleeping state.

"Wade," I tried again a tad louder this time. I didn't feel like lying in my bed all day. I also felt the need to shower. I hadn't the night before and felt like I was covered in sweat and African blood.

The man's breathing changed and I knew he was pretending to be asleep. Lazy ass.

"Hmm… I thought you wanted to shower with me," I held back a giggle as Wade sat up abruptly with a smirk on his lips. "Oh, hi there."

"Good morning," he grunted tiredly. His hand reached up to rub the sand out of his eyes and I turned my body around so I was facing him. A yawn erupted from him and he stretched his arms out so that they once again wrapped around my waist. "… about that shower?"

I sat up and scooted off the edge of the bed with a dangerous smirk on my lips. His honey brown eyes followed me as I went to my dresser and grabbed clean clothes. As I reached down to pick up my bathroom basket (it was a hot pink basket that held my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors, loofah, and a clean towel) I grinned as Wade watched me bend over. What a freaking perv. And I did nothing but encourage it.; I guess that made me a perv too.

Heading towards the door I turned the knob. I looked back at Wade to see him still silently watching me and I asked seductively, "Aren't you coming?"

As I left my bedroom I heard him scramble to escape the sheets of my bed. A loud thump was heard as he tumbled to the floor wrapped up in the blanket. I had already turned on the shower farthest from the door to warm up the water by the time Wade had rushed in. He had went to his room beforehand to grab some clean clothes and his bathroom supplies as well.

He walked up to me slowly with an unsure look on his face, "We, we don't have to do this if you don't want to. I mean I'd understand. It's a little soon. I don't want to pressure you into doing anything you aren't comfortable doing. I know I come off as a huge douche bag, but I'd never -"

Wade's voice faltered as I stripped off my navy nightshirt. Lucky for Wade I didn't sleep with a bra on. His mouth hung open as I slid out of my onyx soffee shorts taking my underwear off with them. My confidence faltered a bit as his eyes roamed my body and I became nervous. In an attempt to hide my sudden fear I stepped into the steaming shower letting the heated droplets drench me.

I glanced behind me to see Wade toss his shirt over his head slowly. He hesitated as he looped his fingers in his trousers as his hazy eyes stared into my own carefully. Then he stretched out the band around his waste and let them fall to the floor to reveal his extra friend.

Blushing, I averted my gaze to the running faucet. I almost shrieked in shock as Wade's arms slipped around my waist. His fingers trailed over my toned stomach and began to trace circles over my hip bones. I didn't even want to turn around and look at him. I think I might melt being so close to his chiseled hairy -but not disgustingly hairy- chest.

I couldn't stay facing away from him for long as he stepped closer and his erection poked my lower back awkwardly. With a girlish giggle I twisted in his arms to see him staring down into my eyes with a slanted smirk. My hands couldn't help themselves as they ran themselves down his chest hungrily. With a burst of eagerness I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him down to my level to connect our lips. The kiss was much more aggressive than the past few we had shared the night before and it made me want to do very, very naughty things with the man in my arms.

"Hurry and clean yourself up," I muttered against his lips barley breaking the close contact. "I want you back in my bed."

He laughed huskily creating ticking vibrations against my mouth, "We just got in the shower."

"And then I saw you naked," I kissed him hard once more. Grabbing my shampoo I lathered it through my hair anxiously. Wade took my hands from my hair and held them against my side. I frowned at his action. It was stunting me from getting him in my bed quicker. However, he moved his hands to my hair and started washing it for me. I laughed as he scrubbed at my head making my entire body shake with how hard he was lathering my hair up. "You trying to take off my head?"

"Sorry," he said with a chuckle. "Your hair is really bubbly right now. Oh, look at the pretty bubbles. Pop, pop, pop!"

I titled my head back and let the water rinse out the dirty soap that left my hair smelling like strawberries. Closing my eyes to make sure I didn't get any of the soap in my eyes I gasped as Wade's slender fingers caressed my breast. Snapping my eyes open I blinked at him as he snickered at my reaction.

In retaliation, I grabbed his erection and his eyes shut slowly, "I think you're right. Let's get out of the shower now."

"As soon as we're done. I still need to wash my body!"

Wade kissed me hungrily and pulled away with a cocky grin, "Then hurry the fuck up."

I slammed my hand onto the wall behind the headboard to hold myself up as I ground my hips onto Wade's. His strong hands held onto my waist to steady me as he too thrust his pelvis against my own. Heavy pants escape my mouth as his member twitched inside of me.

"Wade," I panted as I slammed my other hand on the wall. My thrusts became harder with my new position as it allowed me more mobility.

He groaned, "Hmm?"

I hardly was able to respond as he leant forward to take one of my breast between his lips. His tongue flicked around and I hissed, "I'm close."

"Yay," was his humorous response. I figured out Wade wasn't very talkative during sex, which made me extremely satisfied. I also discovered he was quite endowed, which made me even more than satisfied. I didn't want it to end.

A soft scream escaped my throat as my body started to convulse as I felt myself come to a climax. I let myself lie flat atop Wade as I paused for a few moments to compose myself. My arms and legs started to shake as the reaction to all the movements I had been doing finally caught up to me. I brought my lips down to Wade's and let my tongue slip between his mouth while I began, with much difficulty, to start thrusting once again.

Wade's eyes fluttered shut and his breaths became heavier. I could tell he was struggling to hold himself back as his member slid in and out of me with every thrust. Then finally his entire body tensed up and his hold on my waist grew even tighter -I'm sure I'd have a bruise- and he let out a moan as his seeds infested me.

I slid off of him and rolled onto my side. Wade hugged me tightly as his lips formed a bright smile, "You know… being here… I haven't even talked to a woman in quite a few years."

"That's a lovely thing to bring up right after a roll in the sac," I joked calmly, even if I really didn't want to talk about him having sex with other women. Of course Wade would bring up that topic. He had such a backwards outlook on things.

"I didn't mean it like that," he sighed. "I just meant that… I don't even know where I was going with that. But, I'm so happy right now I don't even know what to say. There are so many thoughts going through my head I don't even know where to begin. It sounds so weird. I'm not usually a softy, but I can't help it sometimes. Don't tell Victor, he'll make fun of me. Or any of the guys! Just don't say anything about me being nice. I've got an image to uphold. A badass image."

"Whatever you say Wade…" Well, now I know that after those moments he doesn't talk during sex he shoots out after he releases himself. Good thing I finished before him.

"Are we going to keep this on the DL or are we telling the others about us?"

"Keep it on the down low. Wouldn't want to ruin that badass image you have, ya know?" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Don't mock my image," Wade pouted. "It keeps all the bad guys away."

"You're the bad guy," I shook my head. He looked upset by my retort and I squeezed his hand reassuringly. "But a good bad guy."

"That doesn't even make sense…"

I punched his shoulder, "Shut up."

"I'm hungry. Make me breakfast."

I got ready to make an angry response when a knock came from my door. An uneasy panic settled over me as I thought about Wade in my bed. However, I then remembered I was an adult and am allowed to have sexual relations with anyone I please.

"What?" I shouted irritated that my love fest with Wade was broken by reality.

"Stryker wants you in his office now," Agent Zero informed testily. I frowned, I really hated that guy. He followed that man's orders like a lost puppy. "And have you seen Wade? He's not in his room."

"I'm in here!" Wade answered for himself.

A silence followed then Zero mumbled, "Hurry up Zoie. Stryker's not in a good mood."

Unhappily I got up from the bed and put my clothes on. I decided that since James was gone there would be no training for today so I settled on jean shorts and a beige tank (something I would usually wear outside of the facility). Wade had sat up and was resting his back on the headboard of my bed watching me while chewing on his bottom lip. I stuffed my feet in my shoes then stalked over to the bed to give him a quick kiss.

Entering Stryker's office a few minutes later, I saw him sitting on his chair with the meteor fragment picked up from the night before resting in the middle of his desk. There was another seat empty across from it that I sat in grumpily. I was sick of all this horse shit and stupid mind games that Stryker was putting me through. All the conspiracies and secrecy. I wanted to know the truth.

"Zoie," Stryker acknowledged with an edge to his voice. "I want you to regenerate this."

Silently I grabbed the object with both my hands. Concentrating I focused all my energy, but couldn't seem to figure out what it was made of. Usually it was easy to pick up these kind of things. Anything earth bound I could regenerate. Soil, sand, rocks, trees, flowers, and other natural resources. Soil happened to be the easiest. But this… I couldn't seem to do this.

"I can't…" I whispered in confusion. I twisted the meteor in my hands. "It… I don't understand."

Stryker raised his eyebrows seemingly displeased by my statement, "Explain."

"It might take me some time before I can. It's not from this earth and I haven't encountered anything with this kind of makeup. Maybe if I take it with me for a few days and just study it I can figure out how to create more. It's just… I can't create something I don't know the mineral of."

"Alright," he nodded his head. "Take it with you. Come back to me in three days with the more of this or else."

A cold shiver ran down my spine, "Or else what?"

"You will be of no use to me and the team."

"I can do it," holding the meteor tight against my chest in protection. I had to.

"Tell Wade he's your new trainer," Stryker grumbled out before waving me off with his hand. "Your worthless on missions if you can't fight. Don't know why I bothered bringing you along."

Asshole.

Instead of responding I stood from the chair and stormed out of his office. I think he just told me he'd kill me if I didn't get this meteor regenerated. Or else. That definitely sounded like a threat.

Returning to the corridors I found all the men in the living area conversing quietly. As I entered I scowled as they all stared at me, or more at the object in my hand.

"What?" I snapped irritably. I wasn't in the mood for any of them. Well, maybe Wade.

Chris pointed to the meteor, "Why do you have that?"

"I'm supposed to be able to regenerate this in three days," I barked angrily. "Or else."

This perked Wade's interest, "Or else what?"

"Ask Stryker," I shook my head. Wade looked surprisingly livid at my answer. "I'm tired of this stupid shit. It'd be nice to know what the hell he needs this so bad for that he had to kill a bunch of innocent people for it."

John appeared beside me in a gust of smoke and placed a concerned hand on my shoulder, "We wont let anything happen to you, alright?"

I shot Agent Zero a look. I might be safe from John and Wade, but I sure as hell wasn't safe from Victor and Zero. Chris and Fred were more neutral; I had no idea what they'd do if Stryker ordered them to kill me.

"Thanks," I said tiredly. Holding up the meteor to the crew I started heading for my bedroom. "I'm going to go work on this. Come get me if you need me."

As soon as I shut the door behind me it opened a second later to reveal Wade. I sat on the edge of my bed quietly and he followed my actions, sitting beside me. I leant my head on his shoulder and he scrunched his eyebrows together obviously debating about something inside his brain.

"Like, when we get married are we going to have to live in a really forested area? 'Cause I don't like mosquitoes…"

It took me a moment to realize Wade's comment, "… what?"

"I don't mind gardens. I like your carrots. Don't stop growing good vegetables, but I don't really like all those nasty bugs that come along with them."

Normally, I might have been threatened by the whole "marriage" thing being brought up when Wade and I only started our relationship the night before. However it was Wade and it was to be expected for him to say unusual things.

"Can we have five kids?"

I frowned, "No."

"And why not?" he asked in offense.

"I don't want to pop out five kids."

"Four and a half?"

"That sounds horrible," I gasped at the ludicrous statement.

"Yeah. Hmm… I can do three I suppose," Wade sighed sadly. "I want a big family though."

"I should really try and do this Wade," I motioned to the meteor sitting in my lap.

"Stryker wont kill you," he said darkly.

"Doesn't matter. I should do this anyway."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?

I nodded, "Yes."

"Then I shall be back in two point five hours," Wade informed as he stood up from the bed. "Stryker ordered me next. I've been neglecting him though. It's such a hassle walking down to his office."

"Have fun."

Grinning, Wade bent down to give me a quick kiss before skipping out of the room. My smile faltered as I stared down at the meteor. Powers, don't fail me now.

Leave me some happiness :-)
