Wolverine:

Wolverine stood outside of the front door debating on whether or not to go inside. For the past two days he had been out on his bike making one excuse or another to Storm as to why he hadn't come home. Yesterday had been because he was tired and didn't think he could make it back and the day before was that he had lost track of time and thought it would be best to wait until morning to leave. After those days even his inner voice was starting to make sense. You can't hide forever it said.

Knocking on the door once Logan waited for a response. "If she doesn't answer the first time" he told himself "then I'll leave". To the man's surprise the door opened less than a minute later and Logan felt his jaw physically drop as his eyes took in the vision of the goddess in front of him.

Storm's hair had been pulled up into a messy bun, what little makeup she did wear had been removed from her face and over her body she wore a simple strapless yellow sundress that fell just below her knees. Leaning back against the doors entrance she folded her arms beneath her breast and lifted an eyebrow. "It takes two days to get air" she asked. The woman was beyond beautiful.

Feeling his cheeks begin to burn with the onset of blush Wolverine turned his head pretending to be looking out at the scenery as he spoke. "Yah…sorry about that". Shaking her head the Goddess moved aside allowing the man access. As Logan passed the woman he couldn't help but to smell a hint of arousal. It was slightly fainter than it had been the last day he had seen her but present none the less.

"The air conditioner is broken" Storm announced as she made her way inside. "Do you think you'll be able to fix it"? "Yah" Logan answered. "I'll check it out". "Can you do it now" she asked. "Yah mind if I get out of these dirty clothes first" he responded. "I don't know" she said teasingly. "While your changing you might decide you need some air again"?

Storm:

Storm was cautious. She didn't want to say or do anything that would make Wolverine leave. Studying him from a distance she watched as he set to work checking the air conditioners main system. She had joked about his leaving but the truth is it hurt her. He had seemed so…intense the last time she saw him. Was it real? Perhaps she would test it.

Moving from her place on the other side of the room Storm stood just two steps from where Wolverine worked. He froze immediately at her presence or perhaps it was her smell. Feeling herself blush slightly she pushed past her last memory of him deciding to go with a forward approach instead.

As if sensing the seriousness of her next words Logan rose from the floor turning to look directly into the woman's eyes. Taking a few timid steps further she stopped just a few inches away from the man's face. "I have to know" was all she had time to say before Wolverine pressed his lips against hers in a hungry kiss. Storm opened her mouth to allow Logan's tongue entrance as she felt it slide across her bottom lip and without taking his mouth off of hers the man ran his hands beneath her dress and up the side of her thighs lifting her from the floor. Ororo whimpered softly as he pressed her up against the wall behind them. Then, as quickly as it started it stopped.

Releasing Ororo from his grip wolverine allowed the woman to slide down the wall before him. For a moment all the two did was look at each other. One out of shock and the other out of uncertainty. "We shouldn't be doing this" Wolverine said backing up to increase the space between them. ""Storm was visibly upset but this time she would not let the man go again without telling him exactly how she felt.

"I don't understand you Logan" she yelled. "One minute you have me up against a wall loving every part of me you can find and the next I am untouchable? "What have I done"? "Ya didn't do anything Ro" Wolverine replied. "Your actions with me would say something different" Storm countered. "Look at me" the Goddess commanded taking a hold of Logan's face. "Do you like me" she asked. "Have you ever liked me"? Looking down at the floor Wolverine fell silent and it was all the answer Ororo needed.

Glaring at the man before her Storm shook as she moved away from him. "Until Xavier returns" she gulped holding back a sob. "Don't…don't speak to me" . Flying from the room Storm slammed the door behind her. She would not be returning. Looking back at his work Wolverine tried his best to shake off the feeling that was creeping in on him as realization set in. "I wanted to say…" he spoke into the empty room. "I wanted to say I Love you". "But animals can't love" said the voice.
