Ororo looked over Logan's shoulder. Watching in silence as the cabin became smaller and smaller as he carried her deeper into the woods towards the lake on the edge of his property. Reaching a small clearing, he laid her down on a carpet of greenery. For a fleeting moment, he chastised himself for forgetting to grab a blanket in his haste to exit the cabin. Any regrets he had quickly faded when Ororo reached up to pull him towards her.
As they shared a passionate kiss, Logan allowed his hands to roam freely over the supple body that lay beneath him. He spent ample time caressing the length of her bare legs capturing her soft moans when his fingers hit the sensitive spot right behind her knee. Hooking his arms under her legs he bent them around his body.
Craving the sweet pressure of her body against his.
Running his hands up her body, Logan slid the straps off one then the other shoulder. Pulling his mouth away from hers, he kissed a trail down her neck. He continued trailing the path of the teddy as he pulled it off of her body. Ororo arched her body into his kisses allowing Logan to pull the gathered garment completely off of her.
Settling back down onto the ground, Ororo reveled in the contrast of sensations flooding through her body. Logan was fueling the fire, which had the front of her burning with a warm anticipation. Mean while, the slightly dew covered grass and ground cover supporting her back sent an exhilarating chill through her body causing her rapid heart beat to speed up even more.
Logan was a man who believed in taking his time. As he set his eyes on her bare breast pleasantly noting how the dark nipples were already slightly taut from exposure to the night air, he began to leisurely kiss his way back up her body. Twirling his tongue around one nipple, he suddenly took it into his mouth placing a playful nip before soothing it with his tongue again. All the time enjoying the slight tremble that ran through her body at his ministrations.
Ororo's head had rolled to the side when Logan began to make his way up to her chest. When he sensually licked her nipple she bit her lower lip running her hands through his hair and closing her eyes at the pleasure of everything. When he nipped her, her eyes instinctively opened and she took in her surroundings cementing the beauty of the Canadian landscape and this moment in her memory.
As Logan continued his passionate onslaught, Ororo's senses were heightened. The sky with its full moon and luminous stars seemed some how brighter. The gentle lapping of the waves in the lake seemed even more calming. The large patch of poison ivy that served as their mattress seemed a more vibrant shade of green. The air seemed….It took a minute for her to digest what her senses had just told her.
"Goddess, Logan"! Ororo tried her best to sit up but couldn't.
Thinking she was responding to what he was doing to her, he concurred with her sentiment. "I know, baby, it feels so good".
"Logan get off of me"! In case he didn't hear her she gave him a good shove to dislodge him from on top of her.
Breathing hard, Logan finished removing his weight off of her and gazed into her eyes demanding an answer. "What the hell was that for? What's wrong?"
Rising to her feet dressed only in her white thong, Ororo smoothed her hair back from her face. "We've been lying in a patch of poison ivy Logan, that's what's wrong".
"Shit Ro'. You sure?"
Ororo shot him a murderous look before answering. "Of course I am Logan or have you forgotten botany's a hobby of mine". She didn't mean to snap at him but she had. Pacing back in forth, Ororo began scratching at her arms. She had noticed they were beginning to itch a few moments ago but thought it was the result of the blades of grass leaving tiny cuts on her arms. She knew better now. "Goddess, Logan I'm extremely allergic. More so than most people". Looking at the back of her arms she could see the tell tale signs that she was breaking out. "Look, I'm already breaking out on my hands and arms and that's only the beginning".
Logan watched in silence as Ororo came to grips with the fact that she was in the middle of breaking out with an itchy rash that would eventually cover the back of her from head to toe with the exception of the very small area that had been covered by her thong. Pulling her into a loose embrace, he apologized as best he could and led her back to the cabin.
Luckily, Hank came prepared for any medical emergency and had enough Calamine lotion to apply a soothing layer on Ororo's arms, hands, back, legs, and buttocks. He raised a fury eyebrow trying to imagine how she came to acquire a rash in that particular spot but his sense of professionalism and Logan's foul mood stopped him from asking.
"Thanks for taking care of her Hank".
"You're thanks is greatly appreciated but not necessary Logan. If you can, try to keep her as comfortable as possible. Make sure she remains on her stomach and doesn't cover the rash with anything. We don't want her aggravating the rash or rubbing the lotion off."
Taking another big bottle of lotion out of his bag he handed it to Logan. "Here's more lotion. Remember, don't let her scratch at the rash, she'll only aggravate it. If you can, have her get some sleep it will help her heal". With that, Hank left leaving Ororo and Logan alone.
Logan walked over to the bed and sat down. The scowl on Ororo's face told him that she was still mad at him. He hated it when she was mad at him.
"How you feelin' darlin"?
Ororo didn't answer opting to give him a stare that said 'how do you think you moron'.
"Dumb question, sorry? Look Ro I don't know how many times I have to say this but I'm sorry. I didn't notice, I know I should of but I didn't". He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help the small smile that crossed his face. "It wasn't like I wasn't preoccupied thinking about other things at the time". He winced at the sudden and extremely loud crack of thunder that filled the air. 'Yep, definitely the wrong thing to say'
"I'm glad you find my discomfort so amusing Logan".
"Come on Ro, you know I don't. You're not being fair".
"Fair! You want fair Logan! I'm going to have to spend the rest of our weekend in this bedroom lying on my stomach and you want to talk to me about what is and is not fair".
Logan cursed himself. He really could be an insensitive jerk sometimes. "Look Ro I'm sor…"
"Don't say it! Don't you dare say you are sorry again or I'll strike you down where you stand". To emphasize her point a flash of lightning lit up the night sky.
"Well, what the hell else am I suppose to say!? I hate seeing you in pain you know that. But it's not like you're the only one here who's suffering". He knew it was a mistake when the last few words left his mouth. But he was frustrated, really frustrated. When he got that way he couldn't help being belligerent. His vacation wasn't going the way he had planned, any chance he had of salvaging any romance this weekend went out the window when Ororo contracted poison ivy, and to top it all off he was still painfully aroused from earlier.
"I know you are not going to lecture me on suffering right now. My skin is burning and it is taking all of my will power to keep from scratching it. I am going to have to sleep on my stomach and you know I can't do that. I always sleep on my side or back". Holding out her hands so Logan could see the rash on her palms, she continued. "I will not even be able to brush my hair or feed myself without irritating the rash with the brush or the silverware".
"I'll brush your hair. It ain't like I've never done that before for you. As for eating, I'll make sure we have plenty of your favorite finger foods".
"Oh, that would be just great". The comment was dripping with sarcasm. "It's not as if the rash doesn't cover enough of me why don't I just spread it to the inside of my mouth when I contaminate the food I pick up".
"Sor…" He cut his apology short when he saw her glare. "Then that's settled, I'll feed you".
"I'd rather starve".
Logan got off the bed and began to pace. This was getting way out of hand and he couldn't stop it. "What the hell is that suppose to mean. Here I am trying to be nice and that's what I get. You won't let me apologize and you don't want me to help you. Shit Ro, you're acting like I wanted this to happen."
Standing up Ororo turned around and faced him. "I'm sorry Logan. I know you didn't mean for this to happen and if you could you would change everything. I shouldn't be behaving like this I am just so, so…"
"Frustrated"? Logan offered when it appeared she was at a lost for words.
"Yes. I am truly and completely frustrated. I know I shouldn't be mad at you but I am. I know it's not rational but I am angry and jealous".
Walking over to her, dying to take her into his arms but unable to figure out how to do it without irritating her rash, he settled on caressing her cheek. "Jealous"?
"Yes, jealous. Of you, of your healing factor, of the fact that your poison ivy disappeared less than a minute after it appeared". Leaning into his caress and turning her head so she could kiss his fingertips, she turned her blue eyes down to look into his. "Irrational, I know but that's how I feel".
He held her eyes for a minute before looking away. He looked at her then. She was still only clad in her thong. Until her rash healed, she would be wearing nothing else. Her perfect body and soft face was as beautiful as ever. Though he thought it impossible, the need he had for her, the one that had been with him all night, grew to a higher level.
Although he couldn't remember where and when he learned them, Logan was a master of many sexual techniques. In the minute that he stood before her taking in her beauty, he mentally ran through a checklist of all the sexual positions he knew. Trying his hardest to think of one he and Ororo could use without aggravating her rash.
After kissing her briefly, he walked over to his suitcase and grabbed a towel. Walking over and opening the door, he called to Ororo over his shoulder. "You really should try to get some sleep darlin'".
"Where are you going Logan"?
"I'm going for a swim in the lake".
"It's the middle of March Logan. The water's going to be freezing".
"Yeah, I know. Trust me Ro, it's exactly what the doctor ordered ". With that he walked out the door.
