Exit Heartache Enter Wisdom

More Birthday Surprises

~*~

If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need

Later

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, habirtbirthday, dear Kitty, happy birthday to you!” Kitty leaned over the cake blowing out the eighteen candles. The group cheered

“Present time!” Amara said pushing Kitty towards the table. She sat down and opened the gifts. She received several things for her computer from the professor and Ororo, and Hank some jewelry from the girls, a few items of clothes from the guys, including underwear from Bobby, which caused him to get pelted by pillows by everyone in the room.tty tty opened the gift from Tabby and immediately shut it again.

“What was it?” Jamie asked. Kitty looked at the still innocent kid and flushed which made the others grab it and look at it before laughing.

“Nothing,” she said.

“I figured you and Pete could use `em,” Tabby said. Pete took the gift and grinned looking at it.

“I like the way she thinks,” he said.

“Pete!” Kitty exclaimed. He smiled unrepentant. Kurt’s gift was some chocolate from his home. Remy and Rogue together got her a whole new outfit, complete with a new faux leather jacket. They were all talking when there was a knock at the door. They opened it and Scott and Jean came in.

“Hey, sprite!” Scott said. “Happy birthday.”

“Scott!” Kitty exclaimed hugging her team leader tightly. He grinned pulling back to look at her.

“How does it feel to be an adult?” Scott asked.

“No different,” Kitty said walking to Jean and hugging the redheaded telepath. “How have you guys been?”

Jean smiled happily. “College is absolutely wonderful!” Jean exclaimed. The two began to talk of their lives in college when they noticed the man who was standing back silently.

“Who are you?” Scott asked.

“Ah, Scott, this is Mr. Wisdom,” Xavier said. “He’s a teacher here now.” Scott stuck out a hand, whiche, ae, after a moment, accepted.

“He’s also Kitty’s new guy,” Bobby announced.

“Mon ami,” Remy said looking at Iceman. “If Remy were you he’d shut up.” Bobby obediently stopped talking. Scott looked at Pete closely.

“No offense, mate, but stop that.”

Kitty looked between her overprotective friend and her boyfriend and decided to break the tension. “Cake?” she offered.

“Good idea,” Jean said grabbing Scott’s arm. Kitty led them to the cake and cut it passing out pieces. The group began reminiscing about the old days and everything that had happened since the last time that had had seen each other. Kitty tensed at the question she knew was coming.

“Anything happen with Magneto’s crew?” Scott asked. Pete saw that Kitty tensed and slid an arm around her slight shoulders as Logan briefly recounted that night.

“Kit,” Jean said aghast that anyone could do that to the perky Valley-girl. “How awful. I’m so sorry we weren’t here for you.”

“That’s okay,” Kitty said leaning into Pete’s embrace. “Pete was here. He helped me through it.” She kissed the man in question softly. He held her hand tightly in his own. “I don’t know if I could have handled it without him.” Pete smiled taking her hand and kissing it softly.

“Gag me!” Rogue exclaimed but was smiling as she regarded the couple.

“Oh, like you two are so much better,” Kisaidsaid her voice dripping in sarcasm. She gotso qso quickly that Pete almost fell and rushed up the stairs opening her door. She came back with Lockheed. “Guys, this is Lockheed.”

“That’s a dragon,” Scott said in awe.

“Yep, Rogue, Jubes, and I found him. Isn’t he cute?” Pete snorted at this. “Your opinion doesn’t matter, Wisdom.”

“That hurts,” Pete said pouting. Jean smiled watching the banter between the two. She didn’t have to use her telepathic powers to tell that the two cared very deeply for each other. They talked for two more hours.

“I think I’m going to go… change,” Kitty said looking directly into Pete’s eyes. He grinned at her meaning and watched as she walked up the stairs. He waited a full minute before standing to go up the stairs himself.

“Hey, Wisdom!” Tabby called. Pete turned back and she tossed the box to him. “Figure you shouldn’t go up there without that.”

“You have a dirty mind, kid,” Pete said doing his best to sound outraged. He then grinned, nodded and tilted the box slightly in a mock salute. “Thank you.” He walked upstairs surprised to find Lockheed in front of him. “We have an agreement,” he told him.

The dragon glared at him. “I know,” Lockheed said. “Kitty is very nervous, smelly man. Don’t hurt her.”

“I told you. I would never.” Lockheed nodded, looking satisfied with this and flew away. Pete took a deep breath before knocking on her door before walking in. Kitty was sitting on her bed with the outfit he had bought her on and her legs crossed. He shut ther ber behind him and leaned against it. He slowly looked her over taking in her long legs and her petite figure. The outfit clung to her showing off every curve. For a moment he lost his breath. He then smiled walking towards her. “You look wonderful, luv.”

She smiled shyly standing. “I don’t know, I mean this isn’t exactly my usual style.”

“I know. Rest assured, you look very sexy.” She blushed at that causing his smile to widen. He walked to her CD player and placed in a CD Rogue had burnt for him before walking back to her. “I never did get a chance to dance with you.” He held out a hand. She smiled and took his hand. He pulled her close and the two swayed lightly to the music.

“You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight”

Kitty looked up into his eyes and he kissed her softly. “This is nice,” she whispered.

“It’s always nice…” he trailed off kissing her neck gently. “Holding you.” She blushed again, looking down. He reached down cupping her chin and tilting it towards him. “Kit, if you want me to go, before things go any farther, I’ll understand.”

“You know,” Kitty said, “I don’t know why Tabby got me that. It wasn’t necessary. I had Hank put me on the pill a month ago.”

Pete smiled at that. “Is that your subtle way of asking me to stay?”

“That wasn’t subtle, Wisdom.”

“True.” He kissed her softly. the touch of his lips was featherlight, slightly possessive and very erotic. “Kitty, any time that you want to stop tell me okay?” She nodded. “I mean it, luv, I can’t read your mind. If you’re scared I need to know.”

She pulled back to look up at him. “Of course I’m scared!” Kitty exclaimed.

Pete blinked. “This is your first-”

“Yes.”

“I thought you and that Alvers guy-”

“Pete, Lance only kissed me once. He treated me like a china doll, touch it too much and it might break. Don’t treat me like that. I want you.”

“That’s all I need to know.” He kissed her. He pulled her tighter to him, his mouth dominating hers. His tongue swept into her mouth, gentle and demanding at the same time. Kitty moaned, very softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He slowly backed her towards the bed as he did. He lifted her up and laid her on the mattress never breaking lip-contact. He pulled away so they could breath. “Ba “Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life”

She looked up at him. “Now what?”

He smiled a little at that question. “Well, luv, I think we’re a bit over dressed.” He lifted her into a sitting position so he could push the sheer robe off of her shoulders. She phased his tie off of him after fumbling with him. He allowed her to unbutton his shirt assisting by moving so she had better access and could slip it off. She licked her lips softly looking up at him.

He reached around her finding the zipper for the nightie and unzipping it. Kitty stood and allowed it to puddle at her feet. She looked sown at Pete who had grown still studying her. He looked up into her eyes feeling his body responding to the vision that she presented. “Luv, you are so bloody beautiful.” She smiled shyly, that small smile was enough to almost destroy his already thin self-control. She rejoined him on the bed simply phasing his pants off of him. He raised one eyebrow at that but shrugged pulling her into a quick kiss.

“If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright”

Kitty slid his boxers off before kissing him. She softly chewed on her bottom lip begore beginning to trail kisses down his neck then further, paying special attention to his chest. She licked her way to his navel then looked up at him, her eyes meeting his.

“Kit,” he whispered. She smiled at him. Kitty leaned down and ran her tongue up his length. “Oh, God, luv.” He leaned back closing his eyes in abandon. She took him as far into her mouth as she could. He groaned low in his throat when she began humming. He quickly pulled her away.

She looked up at him in confusion. “Was I bad?”

He laughed warmly. “Luv, there is no words in the English language to describe how not bad that that was.” He ran a hand through her hair. “But I was getting dangerously close to the edge there.”

“That was, like, the idea,” Kitty said rolling her eyes.

“You are so innocent,” he said with what sounded like awe in his voice.

“Huh?”

“Kitty, I plan on making our first night together last for more than five minutes.”

“Meaning…?”

“If I had…” he trailed off shaking his head, “…you know; it all would have been over.”

“’You know?’” Kitty giggled. “You’re, like, supposed to be the experienced one and that’s the only phrase you have?”

He grinned. “I don’t want to hurt those virgin ears of yours.” He regarded her seriously. “Where’d you learn that?”

“Cosmo,” Kitty said blushing. “Jubes has a subscription.” He nodded before recapturing her lips. He felt as though he was going to explode at any moment but wanted her first time to be more than a quick screw. He softly pushed her so she was lying back down and moved to her earlobe softly nipping and sucking on it. She moaned softly running a hand through his unruly black hair.

“These are my words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe
If you were inse ase arms tonight”

He moved further down kissing and licking his way down her neck. He kept going until he finally reached his destination. “So perfect,” he told her before talking one nipple into his mouth and swirling his tongue around it. His hand reached out teasing the other until he switched. Kitty was gasping and writhing under him.

“Keep going?” he asked panting a little himself. She nodded wordlessly. He trailed kisses down to her belly button flicking his tongue in there causing a sharp gasp from her. He smiled continuing down to her thigh slowly raining kisses up. He stopped, looking at her. She spread her legs slightly in a silent invitation.

He lifted her legs up slightly so they rested over his shoulders and lowered his head running his tongue over her outer lips before slipping it inside. “Pete,” she gasped grasping the pillow and trembling. He grinned at her reaction and continued lapping at her. He brought his fingers into play and she began writhing on the bed and tightened her thighs around him. He pulled away causing her to whimper at the loss of contact. He moved over her.

“And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your arms

And these were our words
They keep me strong
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms”

“Ready, luv?” he asked positioning himself.

“I love you,” she told him. “I know it’s so soon, but I do. I love you.”

He smiled kis her her. “I know.”

She returned his smile. “Show me.” He began to lower himself slowly, allowing her to adjust.

“Luv, this will `urt in a second. That’ll fade though, tell me when to begin again.” With that he thrust all the way in causing a sharp cry of pain from her. He looked down at her and felt his heart break a little at the tears the shimmered in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Kitty.” She smiled tremulously, wanting to soothe him. He kissed her and whispered his love in her ear as her body grew to accept him.

“I’m okay,” she told him when the pain faded to a dull ache. He nodded kissing her one more before beginning to thrust. Her pain faded almost completely after the first few thrusts, giving way to a slowly growing fire that seemed to be taking over her body. Sheonsconsciously wrapped her legs around him in an attempt to make him go deeper. She began to move with him trying to give him as much pleasure as she was feeling. She felt herself building towards something and when his hand caressed her in time with each thrust she felt it happen. Lights danced behind her eyes and her body felt as though it had burst into flames. He allowed himself his own release as she reached hers and emptied himself into her. He collapsed on her breathing heavily.

“Luv, that was amazing,” he whispered.

“Yes,” she agreed still panting. He moved so he was beside her on her small bed.

“Do you want me to stay?”

“Duh,” she responded laying her head on his chest. “Of course I do.” He smiled wrapping his arms around her.

“I love you, Kitty.”

“Love you too,” she murmured already half asleep.

“I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd teou tou that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight”
