X Mansion:
Logan was awakened by a kiss on his forehead. Before he could open his eyes his senses told him that it was Ororo who had kissed him so sweetly. It was the scent of fresh sandalwood....one that could only belong to her.
Logan opened his eyes upon her beautiful face, to see blue eyes that were bright and inviting complimented only with a smile that was to mesmerizing for any one man to resist.
Ororo settled on the floor beside the couch where he lay and tightened the peach colored terry cloth around her shoulders. It was obvious that she had just come out of the shower.......
her long white hair hung in a mass of silk like curls that seductively fell over her shoulders and a few loose curls that teased the edge of her eyebrows.
"I was lonely" she explained sweeping th curls away. Logan groaned at the sound of her soft voice realizing just how much he had missed her. He had gotten in late while all the X-men were asleep, and not wanting to wake her up he decided to settle on the couch in the main living area. The disappointed look on her face concluded that that was a bad move.
"Sorry Darlin'" Logan pulled himself up against the couch cushions gently placing a hand on her face.
"When did you get home?"
she asked hugging her long legs to her chest. Logan shrugged "A few hours ago....I thought everyone was asleep"
"I couldn't sleep" she confessed enjoying the feel of his hand against her cheek. Logan smirked "You miss me already I was only gone three days" Storm shook her head in disagreement "Insomnia actually....sleep just hasn't been on my agenda for the last few days"
Logan frowned "Oh" he replied almost disappointed.
Ororo took note of his tone and smiled "But I did miss you....a lot in fact" "Oh now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside" They both gave a brief laugh and continued to stare in one another's eyes.
Storm stood to her feet and climbed onto the couch beside him until their bodies fit perfectly together. Her palm extended over his chest while he curled his finger's into her damp hair.
The closeness between them as amazing....Logan hadn't thought that he could ever get this close to anyone like this and that last person he expected to be so close with was Storm. The one person who had been his friend from the start without question or doubt. The fact that they were friends first just made their 3 week relationship all the better and, to be able to talk to her spend time with her........touch her........protect her.......that was all a reward in it'self.
Ororo sighed as she closed her eye's not falling asleep but resting and listing to his heart beat against her ear "Did you find what you were looking for?" she whispered.
"Hmm?" "About your past. Before you left you said that there were more pieces to the puzzle" She waited for an answer and was only met with a familiar snore.
Ororo looked to him with a smile and kissed him lightly on the lips.......leave it to Logan to fall asleep in the middle of her interigation.
She sighed and settled against him once again "I hope you did" she voice craked from the fatuige that lingered in the back of her eye's....yet she did not fall asleep instead she began measuring her heart beat against his own.....taking a breath when he did and loving every moment of it.
