O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Chapter 15 O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"I can't believe you!"

After the words Anna zoned out the rest of the rant from her step sister. She was in the back seat of Wanda's car, her eyes scanning the area they were driving through.

After Wanda seemed to be mellow down a bit Anna decided to add gas to the fire by finally speaking and saying, "I don't know why you're making such a big deal about it...we're just fucking."

These words started a whole new rant making Anna roll her eyes at her own reflection.

"Are you at least being safe?"

Anna thought back to the action less than half an hour ago and winced at the response she was about to give , "On most occasions."

"What the fuck do you mean on most occasions?"

"Sometimes the location and mood doesn't allow for future planning. I'm on birth control though."

"That's not even what I'm worried about right now. It's Remy fucken Lebeau! He's a walking std."

"Gambit is perceived as a womanizing whore, but it's fine, he's clean," Anna defended.

"How do you know?"

"Because we get checked enough alright?"

"How long?" Wanda asked.

"How long what?"

"How long has this been happening?" as Wanda asked the question she momentarily also thought about John's words before she made her way to Remy's room. That little asshole knew about it too.

Anna's green eyes stayed on the window though everything outside started to blur together, her sister's last question echoing in her mind.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Logan's Training Room - 5 Days Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"Alright, I'm leaving. Please, please do not break anything...in here or on yourselves because then Storm and Wolverine will give me shit for leaving you guys unsupervised."

"Can you not make us sound like kids please?" Anna asked as she finished her arm stretch and pulled on wrist gloves. Ray gave the gloves a look before turning back to her, "These are soft, he'll be fine."

Ray turned to glance at Remy who had finished cleaning the bench they had been using and was making his way to the mats at the center of the room. He smirked, "I'll be fine…"

Ray shook his head but a glance at his phone prompted him to walk faster. He had to go, "Night, I'll talk to you guys later."

"Night."

"Bye."

Anna shrugged her shoulders back making them pop as she got into a fighting stance. Remy eyed her carefully before making his move, which just ended up being a few steps to the left which caused her to move in the opposite direction making them do a full circle before either made an actual move. He went for it first, lunging forward with hands out in front of him.

The move was obvious and easy to sidestep and bringing him down wasn't as hard as she had originally thought either. She supposed those heavy bench presses had tired him out afterall.

Her knee went to his side making a direct hit and making him stumble back. When he regained his balance his lips were curled up in their usual smirk but his eyes were narrowed. The next move was hers, she threw a punch, which he caught and caused her other fist to go flying towards his face. He caught that one as well and twisted them both behind her back so that their chests were pressed against each other.

"Looks like I got you…" he whispered, leaning his head towards her.

"Not for long…"

He cried out and moved back after the hit from her forehead to his. After a few blinks he was able to recognize that her hand was at her forehead. "Didn't feel good for you either?"

"Hmmp…" she dove for him again. Hands clashing with each other as they both tried to strike and ended up blocking each other's moves.

Eventually a hit to her shoulder made it through making her stumble back to put space between them. In retalization her leg went up to kick him in his abs. He caught it and caught her off guard by bringing his foot and kicking at the other putting her airborne. He expected her to fall and that that would be the end of it but she wasn't going down without a fight.

She pressed her hands to the ground and the leg that he had kicked went into the air smacking him in the chest causing him to lose his balance and release her other leg. She acted quickly before he could focus and with a strong kick brought him down to the ground. Then without thinking her body was on top of his, knees digging into his palms, and her forearms pressing down on his shoulders pinning him in place.

He found himself looking directly up at her, white bangs dangling beside the frame of her face, green eyes looking directly into his bored expression on her features.

"You think he's gone?"

"Does it matter?"

"Well if he is we can start sweating in a different way."

"Head always in the gutter."

"It'd rather be somewhere else," his hips thrusted upwards to make his point across. Her knees moved off his palms to close in and snugly accommodate themselves against his waist.

"I'm sure it would."

"You didn't tell me you were coming here tonight."

"I don't tell you everything."

"Hmm...true mais if I had known you were coming here I would have avoided coming if you didn't want to see me."

"I wasn't planning on coming here, I was driving by and happened to notice that it was staying open left so I decided to stop by."

"Oh."

"I was actually heading to your place."

"Hmmm...to get out that frustration?" he asked with a smirk and a wink.

"More like to whine that I'm being forced to hang out with you losers tomorrow," she finished by sticking her tongue out at him. He took advantage of the action and his head leaned up to capture the little red muscle in his mouth. She didn't fight the kiss nor brush off the exploring hands on her behind, not even when fingertips dug into it and pressed her downwards so that she could feel his excitement.

His lips released hers to get oxygen after a few seconds but didn't stay off her skin long as they moved down to her pulse point nipping at the pale skin causing a small blemish to appear. He didn't linger there long and his mouth found its way to her collar bone making her shiver while his tongue and teeth attacked.

It was finally when he moved on to the top of her cleavage where she tried moving away from him, "Not here, let's get going back to your place," she moved her upper body.

His head tilted sideways, brown eyes slowly going over her body while his fingers went up and down the side of her legs before going to the junction between them. "What? You don't want to get dangerous in the danger room?" he teased.

"Is doing it here on your bucket list too?"

"No, but I can add it if you want."

"As exciting as that sounds, I don't want to be fileted by Wolverine. C'mon," she instructed before moving her chest back down, licking his lips and hastily getting up.

"How would he know?" he asked lazily following suit.

"He has a bloodhound nose, believe me, he'd know."

"Fine, mais today is my day right? To pick what we do?" She paused to give him a look. "Don't worry, I'm not going to say here...but you remember how I showed you how to pick a lock?"

"...Yes…"

"It's time to put that skill to a test…" Anna felt a shiver up her spine at the look he was giving her and for a moment debated wheather she was sure she didn't want him to just fuck her against a wall right then and there. Something told her that would be better for her throat.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Beach House - One Week Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Remy dipped down until the warm water covered his neck. His eyes slightly closed watching the pale skin of the girl opposite of him. After a few minutes of quiet around them telling him that they were truly alone he sat up and started making his way towards her.

She didn't move, making him wonder if she was truly asleep. He stopped a few inches behind her making sure that there was no contact between them yet. Her hair was together at one side leaving her neck and shoulder exposed on the other and he found himself leaning in to place his lips on the glowing skin. Before he could make contact her southern drawl echoed in the small space between them.

"I'm surprised you're still here."

"Hmm? Why? Is there somewhere else I need to be?" He was so close that she could feel his breath on the nape of her neck.

"Word was that you were out making friends earlier on your run. I just assumed you would be making plans for the night."

He's expression turned to confusion even though she could not see it as he wondered what she was talking about. It took him a few seconds to think back to the morning. After a minute he smirked and realized what she was insinuating. "You're talking about the fact that John beat me in that run this morning?" There was no answer to the question so he added on, "I was helping this little old lady cross the street."

There was a snort and she looked over to give him a disbelieving look. "Why would you do that?"

His shoulders shrugged, "She reminded me of my tante..." after the words he let his body close the gap between them and his head dipped down to place his lips on the creamy skin. "Porque? Jaloux?(Jealous)?"

She rolled her eyes, "As if. I just thought I wouldn't have to be putting up with your ugly mug..."

He made an offended sound at the words, "So harsh, you still mad about that small smack with the frisbee yesterday?"

"Small? That shit knocked my glasses off."

"Oh no, the Rogue got a big boo boo? Where it does it hurt chere?" After asking the question he went and started kissing random spots in her hair and temple trying to guess the spot.

She moved her head away and acted as if she was planning to move far away from him. Before she had a chance to crawl too far he reached out for her and brought her back flush against his chest.

"A lot of girls and guys would love to put up with this ugly mug by the way..."

"Lucky you," she answered sarcastically, not resisting the hold.

He ignored her, "I was under the impression you didn't mind it too much..." his hands left her waist and traveled forwards and up her body reaching her round mounds. She didn't react to the touch until his fingers closed over the center. Her bra was heavily padded to hide her nipple piercings but as he pinched again he felt the small pebble harden over the curved barbell.

He pinched at it again, this time winning a small moan from her and then she did try to move away, "Stop, we're in public."

"No one is around and the light will go to auto bright when someone comes round. Plus...it's not like it's the first time we do something in public if I remember correctly."

She didn't try moving away again after the words and taking that as his green light to go, his fingertips grabbed at the bra edges and pulled down exposing her cleavage and pink nipples. He then let go of the clothing and his fingers grabbed at her piercings and pulled. A shock of pleasure ran through her body and she moved her head back into his shoulder allowing him to cup her breast and run his palms around her taut nubbins.

After a minute of these minstartions, his hands came back to her waist and processed in helping her turn to face him. "If you are really upset about the frisbee thing...I think I can make it better..." his head dipped and tongue stretched out to lavish a pert nipple with saliva.

Anna found herself biting her lower lip as she watched him. Her body was heating up and she wasn't sure if it was because of the temperature in the jacuzzi anymore. "...Oh yeah?" She asked, making him nod and move his tongue to her other breast. "How are you planning to do that swamp rat?"

His lips left the soft mounds and he started moving forward, forcing her back with every step until she hit the back tile of the edge of the outside spa. He then surprised her by wrapping his arms around her and lifting her. She made a small sound of surprise and hugged his head trying to help her stay balanced, something he didn't mind as her breast slapped at his face. She let him go after she felt him position her on the ledge.

She would have thought that the air outside of the hot tub would make her cold but found it soothing on her heated skin especially with the way her insides felt at the moment.

"I'm sure there's a way I can gain your favor back..." he murmured , dilated eyes looking up at her from her higher position. She didn't answer prompting him to continue by placing a kiss on the inside of her knee and slowly tracking upwards.

Anna could feel the wetness in between her legs start to pool as she watched him place kisses on her skin. His eyes stayed trained on her.

'Fuck' she closed her eyes and swallowed hard. This was becoming too dangerous. It had been a dangerous game when they had started it but it was definitely worse now as it proved that they were having a hard time keeping their hands off each other, even in public.

Another kiss closer to her center broke her out of the thoughts.

"Stop..." his eyes widened in surprise at the request but he did as she commanded. She licked her lips, "We don't have all day for the foreplay right now..."

The smirked she always wanted to slap off his face appeared. Not that it didn't look good on him, but he brought it out whenever he was really full of himself, which was almost always.

"As you wish, Anna Marie." Bringing himself to full height out of the hottub so that he was in between her legs. His hands went to the sides of her legs and pulled, dragging her close to the water's edge, closer to him.

Her center hit his boner hard and she bit her lip to stop herself from making any noise. His hand reached in between their bodies and with a quick pull on the draw string of his pool shorts he was exposed. Anna watched him run his tip at her clothed center before a whimper managed to make its way out making him smirk yet again. Deciding that this was not the time to gloat about it because she was right, they were probably at a time limit. His hand went to the center of her swimming trunks and moved them to the side to expose the most beautiful set of slick pink lips awaiting him.

He moved his body forward and his head found her with no problem, almost as if they were magnets drawn towards each other. Two pieces made to fit.

Anna closed her eyes at the feel of his thrust and when she opened her eyes she found herself still in darkness. "...Did you fuck my lights out or are the lights actually out?" She could feel Remy pulse inside of her.

"I think the lights actually went out," he answered and she felt him move out. "...do we keep going?" He whispered.

A scream filled the air making both individuals move apart.

"That's a no," Anna answered and started getting up while her eyes adjusted to the darkness. Once she was up she made sure her suit was on correctly and within seconds she heard Remy getting out of the tub, and here she has starting to like the idea of a side pool fuck. Damn it!

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna found herself tossing and turning in bed. She wished she could blame the insomnia on the heat but she was used to this type of weather. She wished she could blame it on the bed but this was her room, they had been coming there for years and it has always been hers so that wasn't it.

Nope, she was about to hate herself for being honest but the truth of the matter was that she was horny. She had made the mistake of wanting to be comfortable so she had taken off her bra but as she was trying to fall asleep thoughts of a Cajun charmer fucking her by pool side came to mind and well, there went her clean underwear.

She would move from side to side to change her train of thought but that was becoming a tease as her nipples rubbed against her mattress causing a shock down her spine as thoughts of it being a pair of smirking lips on them instead. After thirty minutes of this she found herself sighing and getting out of bed. She went to her drawer knowing what clothes she had in there and decided to grab some of her thigh high stockings.

After a moment of debating if this is what she really wanted to do she made her way to the door. During the blackout when everyone had decided it was time to head to bed the boys had announced who was in what room, something that she hadn't paid attention to the night before since the boys had all gone to bed before them. Unfortunately for her, the master bedroom which has been won in some type of poker game, was in the complete opposite direction as herself. She hoped that she would make it over without anyone hearing her.

She must have been prone to bad luck that day though because even that had been an easy fail. Jubilee was at the bathroom intersection when she walked out into the hallway. It ended up not being much of a hiccup to her plan. The younger girl stated that she had already gone to the bathroom and made a beeline to her assigned room and Anna found herself waiting thirty seconds to a minute before continuing on her way.

She opened the door with no hesitation, closing it slowly in hopes that it didn't make any noise behind her. Something she had learned early on in their little tryst was that Remy Lebeau was a light sleeper, so she wasn't surprised when he moved at hearing her entrance.

She noted that he had actually been sleeping as he watched her with small eyes. "Need to use the restroom?" He joked while his arms went behind his head in a relaxing manner. This caused the sheets to slide down his body exposing his lean and muscular frame.

She eyed the shoulders before they moved to the center of his sheets. Something else she had learned about him in the time they had been messing around was that he slept in the nude, at least anytime he could, which did not include when he roomed with Pyro.

"Actually I came so that you could keep your promise from earlier."

He seemed to think about it for a bit, "You came to watch me fuck myself?" He asked with a sly smile.

She rolled her eyes, "No, though you are reminding me that you were acting like an ass earlier."

"I believe you asked me to be extra doucey when we were in a group. Anyway, you're right you're not here to watch me fuck myself, we save that for when we're in not in the same town." He got more comfortable in bed, "What else did I say earlier..." he closed his eyes, acting as if he was racking his brain for an answer. "Oh...am I still asking for forgiveness for the frisbee?"

"Yes, you left it unfinished."

"You said we couldn't continue."

"God, why did I bother coming in here..." she mumbled and turned to leave.

His husky chuckle filled the room and she felt the little hairs on her arm rise, "Arrête, je suis juste en train de jouer avec toi... viens ici. (Stop, I'm just messing with you...come here)

She turned back around to look at him. His eyes were no longer squinted but looking intensely at her, going up and down her body. "You need to make up for annoying me just now too..." she added.

"Oh don't worry chere...when I'm done with you, you'll be forgiving me for the next time I annoy you," he winked.

"I'll be the judge of that," her hands went to the base of her shirt and with a crisscross motion upwards from her arms the garment was off leaving her in nothing but her socks. His eyes darkened and she saw the tent in the sheets that had been steadily growing throughout their conversation reach a tall point.

Her mouth watered, fuck, this was defintely getting dangerous.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Hg Lounge - Two Weeks Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna gave small nods and fake smiles as she walked through the crowd at the Hg Lounge. She swayed and swerved to avoid the strangers she didn't know with hands stretched out towards her to give her a small pat, a compliment in their own way for the performance she had just given.

It was one of the things she had to say she disliked about this hobby. The fact that people who didn't even know you thought that they had some right to touch you out of the blue. Hell half the time she didn't like people she did like touching her either. The big main exceptions would probably be Wanda and Laura on occasion, but even her mom knew better than to grab her out of nowhere.

While deep in thought about it and still avoiding any contact she made her way to the bar. One of the best things about wicked Wednesday other than the dress code, she eyed a few pieces with interest as she went on by, was the unique drinks on the menu. Pietro had taken her advice and given a few drinks names based on multiple villains throughout different genres.

When she arrived at the bar, one of the bartenders nodded at her instantly. "Ms. Darkholme, wonderful performance."

"Thanks Dan. Can I get a Green Demon?"

"Actually, Mr. Maximoff left a request for your drink tonight. Please give me a moment..."

Anna nodded. This wasn't too surprising. Pietro used her and Wanda on occasion as test drinkers when he got an idea from a new drink, what was surprising was that Dan was putting multiple different liquors into one little cup. When it got set right in front of her it was a pitch black color.

"He's calling it Black Voodoo. He did ask that you be careful and not to drive."

Anna nodded and mumbled a thanks. Dan didn't spend anymore time with her, having many other patrons to attend to. When he was gone Anna found herself turning the cup around a full 360.

The name was fitting and unfortunately for her reminded her of someone. Someone that brought up her previous thoughts about touch, because that someone was definitely on the list of people who could. Oh yes, his touch was actually the one she would say is very much welcomed.

Anna licked her lips and took a big drink of the black voodoo. It was odd, tarty if anything with a very weird after taste, if they could fix that then they had themselves a drink.

She went to take another sip for a second opinion but was interrupted by the buzzing of her phone. She always turned it off during performances and though she had turned it back on when she left the stage she had been too preoccupied making sure to avoid human contact to check if she had any missed messages.

As it turns out She did, and now she had another one to add to the list. Thankfully they were all from the same person.

R.E.L

She read the first message and shook her head.

'Break a leg in your performance tonight'

She wasn't sure when the second message had been sent since they all had the same time stamp but she could only assume it was soon after.

'Jk, Don't really break a leg, I may need it later for leverage.''

The newest message was written in a different tone or at least she read it differently. Her hand went to her neck to play with her necklace as she read the message over and over again. She could imagine the smooth Cajun accent whispering the words in her ear.

'You look good. That skirt is a new favorite.'

That message alone shouldn't have been enough to warm her up, so the best thing to do was to blame it on the drink. It was supposed to be potent after all, right?

After a minute of debate she chose to answer with, 'You're here? I thought you had official Acolyte duties to attend to? And I can't say I'm surprised. It's my favorite too.'

The answer was almost instantaneous .

'I got out of it and it is a very nice skirt. I'm just curious about one thing...'

'What's that?'

'What's under it?'

She smirked at the message and took another sip of her drink. She was suddenly feeling very parched. After swallowing another mouth full she started making her way to the table Pietro had reserved for them.

Before getting to her destination she typed out a quick answer, 'Maybe you'll find out.' She smirked at the message and hurried her step, pushing the button to make her screen go black. When she reached her destination he was found looking down at his phone and then she couldn't help herself.

"Where's your puppy?" She asked, not bothering to greet anyone else.

"He's taking care of business elsewhere, why? Did you need something...can I help you?"

"No," she answered and took a look at the empty seat beside him, "I hate the idea of sitting here so I was hoping he had just gone off to use the fire hydrant but it seems like it's just not my day…" his lips twitched upwards as he put his phone down. She rolled her eyes at him and took the seat trying to ignore the sudden acceleration in her chest.

She tried to ignore him after that but he made it almost impossible with his witty remarks to the conversation she was trying to have with the others. He finally seemed to stop trying to get a rise from her when the lights dimmed.

She took a sip of her black voodoo and then Laura's song started. Her face stayed looking forward but through her peripherals she saw movement to the side and soon she felt Remy's knee at her thigh. She moved her gaze away from the stage to stare at the rest of the table. They were all pretty submerged on their friend on the stage so she risked turning and looking at the man beside her.

His eyes were dark, dilated with desire and would go from her lips to her eyes repeatedly. She turned away to look at his knee. The way it was angled was meant as a barrier so nothing could be seen under their table.

She looked back to the others at the table and it was seconds later when she felt the fingers at her knees. She watched again through her peripherals as he adjusted himself to be closer to her and as he did his hand slid higher up her thigh past the hem on her thigh high nylons.

She could feel heat rise in her cheeks and thanked god for the white foundation she wore . A part of her told her that this was not a good idea. First of all they were in public. Second, she put on a really good show of acting like she hated this man so if she got caught with his hand up her skirt it would need a lot of explanation that she didn't want to get into.

Then again, the excitement pooling in her stomach was making it hard for her to push him away. Not to mention that she could already feel the dampness at the center of her panties and it wouldn't be too long before he felt it too. So with her last thought being 'Fuck it', she grabbed her dark drink and chugged it.

She then turned her lower body at an angle facing him while trying to keep her chest more angled towards the front putting her in an awkward position but also an easily accessible one.

Her eyes darted to him and her eyebrows rose as if challenging him. He could almost hear her voice in his head asking, "well what are you waiting for?"

His lips went into his customary smirk and he looked to the stage. His hand however went higher up her smooth skin, stopping when he reached the juncture between her legs..

The answer to his question earlier was a pair of really wet panties.

She took a deep inhale at the contact and stopped herself from jumping. She managed to get away with a small flinch that went unnoticed by everyone else at the table except Remy of course who widened his Cheshire Cat smile.

His finger slid up her clothed slit, torturously slow three times before she felt another finger move her underwear to the side and with no warning and hesitation his middle finger delved into her folds. He didn't move for a few seconds, his eyes watching her to read her expression whether they were going to continue this little game or if he was going to pull out and stay out.

Her eyes met his and her mouth slightly parted so that her top teeth bit down on her lower lip and dragged back slowly. He took that as the sign he needed and slightly pulled the digit out to thrust it back in.

Anna moved her attention back to the stage and tried her best to keep from moving, even though her hips were begging her to move along with his finger to cause more friction to her sweet spot.

She was doing well at hiding any reaction until she felt a second digit enter. Her eyes went to him to find him watching her, clouded eyes eyeing the way her chest rose as it became harder to breath. She swallowed hard and even though she knew her labored breathing could not be heard, especially thanks to Laura's loud choice in song she could hear herself. She tried to hide this by moving her body forward and on top of her area of the table.

Her hands crossed and she rested her face in between, with her chest making contact on the table. She then felt Remy move even closer to her. In the position that they were in, his leg was still outside with her hers pressed up against it and as he closed the gap between them even more she could feel his hard erection against her knee.

The words Fuck fuck fuck kept repeating in her hard. Remy fingers were getting her off in a room full of people with the evidence of how much he wanted her pressing up against her. She could feel herself cream at the thought and he must have noticed because he withdrew a finger to lightly rub her clit. The tempo of his thrusting middle finger got harsher making her body do small shifts causing her erect nipples to rub against the table.

His free hand left the back of her chair and she felt it go down her spine sensually and soon she became undone. She clenched at his finger and he paused all movements letting her ride the ecstasy wave.

She soon felt the loss of his hand at her back. He withdrew his finger and she felt her panties go back to her center. He then withdrew the hand in between her thighs but not before rubbing both the fingers covered with her juices down her center and soon he moved his leg and body away from her to the position it had been with when the song had started.

Anna just tried taking deep inhales in and out trying to get her heartbeat and breath to normal. She peeked over her arms and saw that Laura was starting to finish the song. That felt like the most exhilarating four minutes of her life.

She swallowed hard again before her eyes went to the side to watch him through her peripherals. She could feel her wetness ooze out of her. He was licking his fucken fingers.

She closed her eyes and buried her face back into her arms. She was starting to feel light headed. Whether it was because the black Voodoo was starting to work its magic, the lack of air or just the adrenaline coursing through her veins she didn't know but one thing she did know was that she was feeling good.

She was suddenly broken back to reality by Jubilee's concerned voice. She groggily propped her head up and blinked. After her rushed answer she made her way away from them deciding on two stops.

The first being the bathroom to clean up. The second was outside to get some fresh air. After a few minutes of being out there the light headedness did eventually fade but before she headed back inside her phone vibrated notifying her of a message.

'I really love that skirt.'

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Hilton Hotel - Room 69 - Three Weeks Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna rolled in bed. She expected to be stopped by the feeling of a warm toned body but it never came and she ended up doing a full roll to her other side. Her hand then blindly patted the area besides her, nothing there.

She thought back to the last thing she remembered before knocking out. Amazing orgasam, turning on her stomach to fall asleep like she usually did and if she was remembering correctly the feel of a hand covering her own. Did she fuck herself good enough that she had dreamnt thatt? Her hand rubbed the empty area next to her again and that's when she fully woke up and heard the hum that had probably been going on for a while, she had just been too asleep to notice.

She didn't recognize the song, and after a few seconds she heard something tapping against a wooden surface adding to the sound he was creating. Her eyes opened and took in the dim lighting in the room before slowly sitting up letting the soft white sheet covering her slide down exposing her pale skin. She hadn't been overly loud but he had amazing hearing.

"Did I wake you? It's still early if you want to get more rest."

She found his bare back turned to her. He was sitting on the bench chest at the edge of the bed and from where she sat she was able to see that he had moved the coffee table to be directly in front of him. The tapping sound that she had heard was coming from a pencil in his hand.

"No, I just happened to wake up. What time is it?"

"9PM."

"Hmm, what are you doing?" She asked and found herself crawling towards him. He didn't answer right away and when she reached him she sat on her legs directly behind him to look over his shoulder.

There was a notebook at the corner of the table but right in front of him was a white board with a lot of random lines and a few colored circle tiles.

"It's the placement for the performance with the Brotherhood for Nocturnal Madness," he moved a silver circle towards one of the lines in the front. "These represent the people on the stage."

"You're silver?"

"No, that's Quicksilver."

"Oh, so you're the red?"

"No, that's Pyro…"

Anna looked at the remaining colors on the board. Green, brown, yellow, and pink. There was a blue one but it was at the side, not at the board at all.

"You're not the blue one are you?" He shook his head, "You picked the pink one?" She asked and he could almost picture her puzzled expression at the words.

"It's purple."

"That is not purple."

"It's definitely not pink either," he answered and moved back so his lower back was leaning against the bed. She moved so that her knee slid into the open area between his arms and waist. This caused his back to press up against her exposed breast and he moved his head up to stare at her.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, sugah… " she said the word sarcastically, an inside joke they had when he had mentioned that she should take up southern phrases and lingo. "But there's a hint of pink in that purple."

He didn't answer verbally, deciding to stick his tongue out at her before looking back down at the materials in front of him. Soon he started humming and tapping his pencil on the table making the previous beat.

"You already have a song?"

"Writing it now," He answered and tilted his head to the notepad. After the words he started tapping the pencil to the table again and she felt his shoulders moving back and forth slightly. "I am the man who holds the keys, I sow the seeds, and I've got what you need…" his let started tapping on the floor to the beat he was creating, "I live in fire ,I am discord, I destroy, I am a demon," his head started banging as he continued the beat.

"Aren't you efficient," she remarked and watched his body continue to move even though he was done singing, the sound he was imaging clear in his head.

"I'm good at what I do…" he glanced over at her, "right?" He added suggestively.

She shrugged before putting her hands at his shoulder and sensually wrapping them around his neck causing her chest to press into him. "Maybe…" she answered before pressing her lips to the back of his neck.

He gave a low chuckle that caused rumbles in his body, something that reflected against her skin and caused her nipples to erect at the vibrations.

"Hey, while we're on the subject…what was that about today?"

"What?"

"Earlier with Stormy, when you said that there might be changes. I didn't get an email or anything about it…"

She froze up making her body go rigid. "Oh…Pietro told me that you have a lot going on for Nocturnal madness so I decided to take some stress off your plate…" as she explained she unraveled herself from him.

"Meaning what?"

"I asked him if it was possible to perform with someone else…" he opened his mouth to argue, making her quickly add on, "Which was a good call. Look how much effort you're putting into one performance and you have to do like three more? This is a good change for you."

"But…I was looking forward to our performance the most." She ignored the words and started gathering her clothes together. When she had everything she started heading towards the door but didn't get far. She gave a surprise yelp as his hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her back making her drop all her stuff in the process. "Where are you off to?" He asked, setting her on his lap.

"I should go."

"Why? You still have time before people start questioning where you are, non?"

"Yeah, but you're working and I should go before people start messaging me."

"Then I'll stop working. I was only doing this till you woke up anyway. I was giving you time to rest before round two."

"But…"

"Et didn't you say you weren' t going to be able to sneak over for a few days? We need to take advantage of tonight the most we can…" while speaking, his grip on her waist lightened, but not to release her. The muscles in his legs activated as he pressed upwards from the floor so her own feet dangled off the ground and he started maneuvering her, turning her in place so she could straddle his waist instead.

She had to admit she was impressed by the strength behind it, but in all honesty shouldn't have been surprised considering some of the positions he had put her into in the past. "Hmm…"

"I'll make it worth your while."

"How?"

In another show of strength he got up with her wrapped around him, "I can think of a few ways…" he turned and gently deposited her on the bed. She thought he would be quick to join her on top but instead his focus went to lower ground and soon his lips were pressed in between her mounds and then he went lower…and lower until all thoughts about Nocturnal Madness were forgotten and the only thing on both their minds was how long it would take before she burst while his face was in between her legs and her hands were digging into his head.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Lensher-Darkholme Home - Five Weeks Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna laid on her stomach. Slow melodic music was playing in the background as she stared at one of the walls in her room in a daze. Her mind wondered what this new development meant for her and her libido.

It was easy to mess around with Gambit when she was doing it once or twice a month in other states but It was going to be a whole different ball game now that he was in town. She was definitely not the most well known X-men but she was known, not to mention her family was big thanks to the fact that everyone pretty much ran an empire in their selective career paths and her friends were all around. In all reality Bayville was a small town where news did in fact travel fast.

Sneaking around could prove difficult.

Then again she could be over thinking this completely. Maybe he wouldn't even message her. If his train of thought was similar to her own maybe he would decide to stay away especially because not only did he have many friends in the area but he was definitely well known with the success of the Acolytes reaching higher and higher ground.

Maybe they would continue their...tryst once he was back on the road and they would go back to their twice a month fucks and every few days Skype masturbation sessions then.

Her stomach dropped at the thought for an unknown reason but before she could start contemplating it the vibration from her phone distracted her. She had placed it away from herself and the screen lit up saying a new message had been received, but since starting all this she had learned to be extra secretive so the name of the sender would not be revealed until her face recognition kicked in. Her hand reached for it and turned it at an angle, when it unlocked three initials appeared.

She unconsciously bit her bottom lip and double tapped for it to open.

'Swamp gas was a little harsh Don't you think?'

She smiled at the message, 'I thought it was pretty clever.'

'Clever clearly but wrong. I don't stink.'

'You sure about that? :p'

He sent the side-eye emoji before a new message popped up, 'I don't ever hear you complaining while you're sucking my cock.'

Well thank god she was alone. She felt heat on her cheeks and a twitch in between her legs. She wasn't sure what to make of the fact that she got turned on when he spoke filthy to her. Maybe it had to do with the fact that all the partners she had in the past were very gentlemanly and sweet with her, which was nice but, well, it also got a bit boring.

Remy on the other hand wasn't afraid to be direct about what he wanted and did not shy away from making sure that she was thoroughly satisfied upon their encounters.

She reread the message and her mind briefly went to a memory of a being in between his legs, his fingers curled into her hair as he moaned her name and pressed her closer to him.

After a few more seconds she finally tapped out a reply, 'touché'.

His answer was a quick lol with a winking face followed by a, 'Come over. I'm at the Hilton without a roommate.'

'Aren't you fancy?'

'Your daddy does good by us.'

'Gross. Don't call him my daddy.'

'You reserve that name for me? ;)'

She sent him the eye roll emoji. 'I have many kinks but that's not one of them so no.'

'Oh I know. *smug emoji*'

Her lips curled upwards and she hated that she could already feel the growing dampness in between her legs. 'What room?'

'You're going to think I'm lying when I tell you but I'll give you a hint. We'll definitely be doing it tonight.'

'If you want me to come over I don't have time for games'

'Touchy touchy. Second floor, room 69.'

'...'

'Lol, I told you you wouldn't believe me.'

'I'll be there in a few.'

After the message she found herself jumping out of bed.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O One Year Ago O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna closed her eyes tightly as her back arched off the bed trying to press herself closer to the man on top of her. Her feet closed tightly against his waist as his thrusts became more erratic and harder. The hold she had around his neck tightened as well and her mouth found it's way on his shoulders, teeth digging into his soft flesh as his pants and groans echoed in her ear.

The slick sound of their bodies colliding was soon to much for her to handle and she yelled a loud fuck as the coils inside her come undone and her fluids dripped down his cock. The way she clenched him as she came was the last straw for him too and after a hard final thrust she felt him still and his dick pulsated inside her as his cum filled the condom he had been smart enough to put on.

She expected him to move away from her soon after but was surprised when he lingered, even going as far as placing a chaste kiss on her shoulder before finally dragging himself off her.

The only sound for the next few minutes were their labored breathing normalizing and after a minute of silence she turned to face him. She probably should have been embarrassed about how they had gotten into this predicament but at the moment she didn't have the energy for it. That had been the best sex she had ever had and she was going to go ahead and glow in the after math.

At feeling her shift to look at him he turned to her as well.

"I don't think that's what my sister meant when she asked you to show me a good time..."

"I don't think so either," was his response before his lips started curling up into a charming smile. "But...well…it was a good time...right?"

Anna felt her own lips curling upwards, "Well it wasn't bad..."

They stayed quiet for a few seconds before both erupted with laughter.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"How long?"

Anna blinked as she heard the question again and turned towards the rear view mirror to see sapphire eyes watching her.

"Long enough," she responded and looked away.

"..."

There was no immediate answer to this and after a five minute silence, in which Laura looked out the window wondering if she should jump out of the car whenever they braked at a stop light, Wanda spoke again.

"I can't fucken believe you..."

"It's a good thing Luna isn't around, she would have felt like she won the lottery by now..."

Wanda ignored her, ""I can't believe you're dating Remy Lebeau."

"I am NOT dating Remy Lebeau. I told you, we're just fucking. Frenemies with benefits if you will. Why are you so worried about it?"

"How am I not supposed to be worried about it when you were in fucken love with him in high school!"

This exclamation had Laura's eyes go wide as she turned to the back seat to look at her friend.

"I was not in love with him! It was a puppy crush! We were only in school together for a year and he was my tutor. He spoke French and I was a kid. Of course I thought that was cool!" She found herself almost shouting in defense.

"A puppy crush, Is that all it was? And fucking, is that all it is? Because if that's all it is please explain to me why you've had that fucken tattoo retouched!"

Anna's eyes widened and she looked at Laura, "YOU TOLD HER?"

Laura's eyes went wide in somewhat guilt but also anger that she was getting dragged into this, "I did not tell her! She's my boss and she has access to my portfolio!"

"You said she never looks at that thing!"

"And she usually never does so imagine my surprise when she asked for it a few weeks ago! She didn't even mention it when she looked at it though so I assumed she didn't know about it! I mean I didn't even know about it until you asked for the retouch and you're always hiding it!"

"Of course I'd remember the first tattoo I ever did."

Laura looked from one to the other before her gaze stayed on Wanda, "that was your first tattoo?" She then Turned to Anna, "how old were you? And it was for Gambit?! How the hell does that represent him?" She looked down to Anna's feet. She was wearing her combat boots but she could easily imagine the red heart with a crown haloed adove it it as if she had retouched it yesterday.

Anna rolled her eyes and shook her head before turning away.

"She was going on fifteen. It was my first amateur one, we used a tattoo kit."

"..."

"..."

"Wow...you really like Gambit."

"Liked, past tense! Back when I was a kid."

"Now you're just an adult fucking him?"

"Yes," Anna answered Wanda.

"The fact that you're keeping it so secret doesn't seem much like an adult thing to do."

"Well it's no one's fucken business who I'm fucking and how often."

Silence enveloped the car again for a couple of minutes.

Not being able to hold her tongue Wanda opened her mouth again, "Why do you even want me to sing with you at Nocturnal Madness? I mean what is the big deal? I thought you just didn't want to be around him but clearly that isn't the problem if you're sleeping with him!"

"...that's different."

"How?"

"...you know what, don't take me home. Can you just drop me off at the lounge? I'm performing tonight and I have to go and rehearse..."

Wanda didn't answer but changed her course of direction towards the tattoo parlor. The rest of the ride was quiet as all three girls went over different thoughts and questions about this situation in their own minds.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

"Is everything ok?" Jubilee asked when Wanda and Laura made their way in from the hallway.

"Peachy," Wanda answered in a tone that told the others that it was anything but. "I'll be in my office if you guys need me."

There were multiple nods and she walked away without saying anything else. After her footsteps subsided the others turned to Laura.

"You guys found her right?" Ray asked.

"Yeah, she's next door."

"Where was she?" Roberto asked curiously.

"...safe, which is all that matters. Anyway I'm going to head out. My shift doesn't start for a few hours since I'm closing. See you guys later."

"I'll walk you out," Jubilee remarked and looked to the guys who nodded in understanding that she wanted them to handle the front for her for a few minutes. The two girls walked in silence until they were outside.

"She was with Gambit."

"Yeah..." Laura answered and turned to her, tilting her head curiously.

"I know..."

"What do you know?"

"What you know. You didn't let me tell you this morning but they weren't exactly arguing when I saw them last night."

"Hmm..."

"What does it mean?"

Laura shrugged, "Says she's just having fun, so I guess nothing. Do me a favor and keep this to yourself."

"Of course."

"Thanks, I'll see you when I come back later."

Jubilee bid her goodbye and stopped walking, letting Laura go the rest of the distance by herself. When she was gone she headed back inside the building to find Ray alone at the counter.

"Where did Roberto go?"

"Break since we don't have anyone here yet. Is everything cool?" He perked a brow as he asked the question.

She nodded, "Yeah. How much time do we have until your next client? Do I have time to sterilize?"

"About thirty minutes."

She nodded at the answer and headed towards the back room to start on cleaning the instruments. It wasn't until she turned to get gloves that she noticed that he had followed her.

"Hey, we're both off early today and I don't have X-men duties today."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, I uh...got told about this drive in the next city over. Are you up for a movie?"

Jubilee found her eyes going to his lips, his metal piercing blinking at her by the way it was hitting the light. "Uh...sure. A movie sounds nice."

"Cool, I can take us home after we get off work to get ready and then we can go."

"What would we need from the apartment?"

Ray's shoulders shrugged up, "Snacks...or maybe to change into something more comfortable."

She wasn't sure why she flushed at the words. He could have easily meant her pajamas, he probably most definitely meant pajamas but her mind was in the gutter and her face was showing it. His eyes raked over her face and he smiled, lips opening to speak but Roberto's voice interrupted them and made them put distance in between themselves though they hadn't been very close at all.

Jubilee found that even with the extra distance, even after Ray had left with Roberto who had barged in and asked for the tall males attention, she could still feel her small hairs pointed at end as if she had stoic electricity ebbing through her.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Anna felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She didn't bother looking at it immediately, deciding to keep her focus on the stage where the guys were practicing their parts for the performance.

"You don't look ecstatic." Her eyes shifted to the side to see that Pietro had stopped to stand by her to watch the others as well.

"It needs work."

"That's what happens when you change the song last minute."

"They've done this song before on a Wicked Wednesday, it's not completely new. It should be fine in a few more tries."

"Why the sudden change? It's not like you."

She shrugged and her phone vibrated again reminding her of the unread message.

"You haven't given me something for Nocturnal either. You're falling behind."

Fuck. Anna thought to herself. Wanda was supposed to give her an answer but she doubted she was going to agree now that she was mad at her. She sighed, "I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow."

"Alright, but there's no way you're backing out right? Cause that's going to be a last minute spot I have to fill and I don't want to deal with that...again," his nose scrunched at the reminder of the calls he had to go through earlier that day to fill the spot he had the night before.

"No, I'll definitely perform."

He nodded, "Thanks. You guys have been at it for a while, maybe take a break and run it a few more times than go home to get ready while I have the crew set up."

Anna nodded, "Yeah that sounds like a plan. I'm going next door to steal some of your snacks."

"Leech," he joked, making her shove him as she walked past him. Once she was out of reach she pulled her phone out of her pocket and wasn't able to help smiling at the message.

'Are you alive or am I going to have to look around the ditches for your body?'

'You wouldn't go to those extremes to find me.'

'You don't think so?'

'Isn't that the thing about fuck baddies. We're easily replaceable. Especially for you. You won't have trouble at all'

'Mon chere, you know you're irrpleacle to me.'

*Eyeroll*

'I doubt anyone would taste as good as you ;)'

'Silver tongue devil'

':p so what now?'

'What do you mean?'

'Are we done sneaking around?'

'No, I don't need everyone knowing my business. Plus, there's nothing to tell we're just fooling around right?' His reply wasn't as fast as the others had been so she took a bite of her yogurt and waited, ignoring the way her heart was pounding inside her chest at the pause.

Finally after an eternity which was really something around two minutes he responded, '...right. You're performing tonight?'

'Yeah.'

'Want to come over after?;

'What are you? The energizer bunny? Don't you ever get tired?'

'What can I say? You keep me going and going and going and going…'

'Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you tell all the girls that. Anyway, I think I'll have to skip today. I'm waiting for Wanda to give me an answer on a favor I asked for and I don't think being MIA when she gets home tonight is going to give me any points'

;,(

'You have plenty of girls in the crowd. Pick one out'

'I don't think any of them can do what you do :p'

*Shrug emoji*

'Alright I'll see what I have to do.'

Anna pursed her lips together before sending the thumbs up emoji. She then sighed, slumped into her chair and feeling out of sorts started eating her yogurt.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Laura found herself on her way to work earlier than usual. After she had left in the morning she found her mind going back to the events of the night before with Pietro and she found herself eager to go to work and distract herself from such troubling thoughts.

When she arrived she made her way to the break room to put her things away and maybe grab a snack. She wasn't expecting to find anyone else there but was pleasantly surprised when she found someone she hadn't been expecting.

"Hey..."

"Hi, sorry, I'm stealing your guys' snacks. It was an early morning for me and I didn't get a good breakfast."

Laura couldn't help the small smile at the words, "Well it was definitely ordered for you, you kind of just got rushed out. I guess I'm partly to blame for that. Sorry."

Anna shrugged her shoulders up but didn't verbally reply. Laura watched her for a few seconds before looking away and grabbing herself a granola bar from a drawer and then taking a seat next to the southern beauty.

They sat in silence for a bit, both lost in thought when finally Anna sighed and said, "Do you want to give me your two cents?"

"About what?" Laura asked, getting a pointed look from the green eyed girl. "Oh, about the fact that you're screwing Gambit."

"Say it louder. I don't think they heard you next door."

Laura smirked and looked towards the open door before moving her chair closer to her friend. "Honestly...I have no opinion about it. Last I checked you were a grown ass woman so go fuck whoever you want. I will say I was a bit surprised considering it's him. You guys act like you can't stand each other but hey, hate fucking is thing so..." Laura shrugged before adding, "and I'm also surprised he convinced you to wear pink."

"It's not pink...it's purple." Laura gave her a skeptical look making the southern girl roll her emerald eyes, "Rich brilliant Lavender is a light purple. Believe me, I've lost this argument already. Anyway, it's not like it was my actual clothes, I was just wearing it because it was convenient at the moment."

Laura shook her head, "I guess it does beat walking around naked giving your best friend and sister a show."

"Shut-up."

"I can't believe you guys have history."

"There is no history."

"Tattoos always have a history, even the drunken mistake ones."

"...there's no history. It was a little girl's crush. I had you touch up the tattoo because I like the design not because...of the initial reason I got it. He doesn't even know about my crush on him back then, or the tattoo for that matter."

Laura tilted her head to the side, "Wait, how does he not know about your tattoo? I mean it's not in the most obvious place but how do you miss it doing ...whatever it is you two do?"

Anna shrugged, "Socks."

Laura couldn't help laughing, "Are you serious right now? He's never seen your feet?"

"Sure he has, we were at the beach together just last week. He just doesn't see them bare long enough to notice anything. "

"Ohhhh...that's why you had bandages! I just thought you cut yourself while shaving. Well that makes sense now."

"Yeah..."

"Alright, so just to be clear your guys are banging, no strings attached and he has no idea that you were crushing on him as a teenager and have a tattoo that was inspired by him."

"...That sums it up pretty good, yeah.."

Laura couldn't help the smile on her face but nodded as she studied her friend closely. Anna held the gaze for a few seconds before looking away to her half eaten yogurt.

"Well if it's what makes you happy. Does it make you happy?"

Anna turned back to her at the words, "You don't want to know what it makes me."

Laura laughed again, "That good?"

Anna shrugged in response before saying, "I don't know what I'm going to do about Wanda."

"There's nothing to do. It's your life, your choices. I'm sure she's made choices you don't completely agree with." Anna momentarily thought about an oranged haired Australian. "She'll get over it eventually, as for me like I said, do whatever you want to do plus I have my own shit to deal with to worry about yours or hers."

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

Laura wished she hadn't said anything and tried to ignore the look Anna was giving her. When she didn't look away she said, "You don't want to know."

"If I didn't I wouldn't have asked, you know that." Well shit. That was definitely true. "You'll probably feel better if you talk about it?"

"Do you feel better?"

Anna thought about it for a moment before shrugging, "I don't feel bad."

"...I made out with your brother."

"YOU MADE OUT WITH KURT?"

"I meant your stepbrother and fuck are you really shouting right now!"

"Oh," Anna answered, lowering her voice. There was silence for a few seconds before Anna added, "Wow so Wanda's plan of having you baby sit really worked huh?"

"Shut up," Laura answered and brought her head down to the table giving it a light tap. "I've been so good at saying no...I told him to his face that the answer was a no and then I pretty much threw myself at him."

Anna gave a small smile and her eyes stayed on a spot on the wall as her thoughts went to a particular moment in her life. "I think that sometimes that just happens. There's no planning, on your part anyway," she added as her thoughts went to Wanda. "And you just give in. Is it really all that bad?"

"How can it not be? Have you seen him? Girls flock all over him, he has a baby momma who still wants him...it sounds like it all leads to heartbreak if you ask me."

"Maybe, I mean I don't think anything is ever guaranteed so who knows where it could really lead but you'll never know if you don't open up to it either. All I can say is that I've never seen him put as much effort as he does with you and he definitely would have chewed Wanda out for leaving Luna with anyone else."

"..."

"...you just told me I'm a grown ass woman and I should do what I want, maybe you should listen to your own advice. Anyway I gotta get back, I changed up the song I'm doing tonight so we gotta make sure we get the sound right. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah."

Anna got up and made her way to the door. She went through it and seconds later popped her head back in, "Hey..."

"Yeah?" Laura answered and turned to look at her.

"Do me a favor and tell Wanda about the Pietro thing, I think it would even out and she won't be so annoyed at me and hopefully get her off my back."

Laura grinned and shook her head, "BYE" she shouted, rushing her out.

"Bye."

After she was long gone Laura stayed slowly chewing on her granola bar, while her thoughts returned to a certain silver haired, sapphire eyed man.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

Pietro sneezed. He had been doing that often throughout the day and he briefly wondered if he was getting sick or if it was really true what people said. If you sneeze continuously someone is thinking about you. He tried not to picture the shortest member of the X-men and instead continued on his way towards the Brotherhood table. The night had started, the Lounge was full and people were dancing making the best of the night. He was hoping to join up with his friends and do the same, maybe that would distract him from thinking about Laura and how good she had felt against him the night before.

He took a few more steps and found the boys being accompanied by Remy and John. While making his way to them someone had bumped into him accidentally and he would have been annoyed and cursed them a new one if he hadn't been distracted by someone he saw in the direction that the small blow had turned him towards.

Deciding that the boys could wait he made his way toward them instead.

"What are you doing way over here?" he asked when he reached the small table making eyes identical to his turn to face him.

"On lunch," was the short and simple answer.

"Obviously, I mean what are you doing sitting alone over here?"

Wanda looked over to the direction where the brotherhood was sitting. She would have actually gone to sit with them but they weren't alone. Among them sat an orange haired individual and standing off to the side by their table was Remy Lebeau leaning on a rail, his eyes on the crowd.

"I feel like being alone."

"When are you going back to work?"

"As soon as Anna finishes her performance."

"Should I mention that you came? She said she wasn't expecting you because you were mad at her."

Wanda thought about it, mad wasn't the correct word. Maybe the correct term would be disappointed but her twin did not need to know those details. "I'm annoyed with her but that doesn't mean I'm not going to come and support her...but no don't tell her I was here."

Pietro smirked, "Secret support. Got it. Want me to bring you something to help with the annoyance?"

"No thanks. I doubt my next clients would love their rose vines crooked," she answered sarcastically.

He laughed, "I'm sorry! I thought you guys would want the business."

"Uh-huh…"

He laughed again before sobering up, "Don't worry about it, you won't get any more of those."

She perked a brow, "I won't?"

He shrugged, "Maybe not for now."

Before she could ask for the reasoning the dance music stopped playing and the lights on the stage showing multiple X-men members illuminated.

The drum beat started and Anna who was standing at the center tapped her foot in sync with the sound.

"We'll see if she gets any shit for this..."

Wanda looked away from her step sister to look at her twin, "Why do you say that?"

"I think it's racier than they would like considering it's not Wednesday."

"Hmm..." was her small hum before looking back at her two toned hair stepsister. Anna's voice was coming out low, raspy compared to her usual voice. It had a sexy edge to it that went well with the way her hips swayed and her hands slid down her body before clasping together at her front as if she was about to pray.

/Oh oh God have mercy on me
Oh God have mercy on me
Hold me down under holy water
I fear I been laying with the devil
I been laying with the devil/

Wanda looked away from the stage into the direction where Anna was staring knowing what she was already going to find. Lance was watching the stage but every few seconds he'd look down at the floor, Todd was swatting at the area as if a fly was plaguing him and Fred was stuffing his face with chips.

Gambit was still at the rail, his undivided attention on the pale female on the stage. John was also staring at the stage but as if feeling the eyes in their direction they moved away and found her.

She quickly looked away back to Anna who was finishing the song. For a moment She thought back to the question she had asked the younger girl earlier. How long? Her answer had been vogue but the realization of where she might get a straight answer from suddenly came to mind.

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O TBC O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

This was definitely a Romy chapter, just to you know…state the obvious XD

Jubilay- Hmm…is it a date? Are they just hanging out? He wants her to get comfortable…I guess we'll find out next time ;)

Amarto- MIA…again. *Hides from the Amarto fans* They'll be in the next chapter!...I think…

Romy- And when I said they were here to stay I meant they are here to stay! We get a little look back at what these two were doing throughout a few of the last chapters. Wow, they have been messing around for a whole year! They know how to keep a secret but alas it seems that they plan on keeping it secret cause they're just having fun…cause you know…beneficial friends are always messaging each other, and leaving clothes at their places, and taking naps afterwards and they definitely do not need to know about any hidden tattoos. Yup…just having fun.

Xietro- MIA, kinda. He thought about her, she thought about him. Laura admitted to someone about what happened and I guess we'll just have to wait and see if that conversation will help steer them somewhere won't we ;)

Jonda- MIA, but we'll see them in the next chapter ;)

The song Anna sang at the end of the chapter is, 'Oh Lord' by In the Moment.

And well…that's that! We'll be seeing some of the other ships in the next chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed this one :) I'll see you soon! If you haven't watched Eternals I recommend you watch it Wednesday on Disney Plus so you can also have Drukkari brain rot and read the story I wrote about them ;) LOL. Thank you so much for reading, stay safe and see you next time!
