The Hidden Truths

Thllowllowing morning, Marie woke to find herself in the comfort of her own bed. She sat up and groaned, as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She knew it had to of been Logan who put her here and frowned that she wasn’t awake to enjoy being carried by him. She always loved it when he touched her and since she fell in love with him, that love was growing into need.

She needed to have his hands roaming her delicate body, exploring every inch of her. The thought of his rough yet gentle hands caressing her breasts and making their way down her stomach, gave her goose bumps. However, it was the thought of his hand sliding under her panties and massaging her clit, that sparked her arousal.

Marie laid back down and closed her eyes, as her hand gradually made its way under the waistband of her pajamas. Eagerly, her fingers pushed past her moist lips to her hardened nub, that now throbbed for attention. She moaned softly and her fingers slowlgan gan to circle the aching flesh.

The image of Logan’s fingers fervently working her clit, as he sucked a nipple into his warm mouth, played in her mind. She’d give anything to have him here with her now and to have her hand replaced by his, kneading her clit with intent, as she did so now.

Her breath quickened and her moans became more consistent, as her fingers pushed harder against her clit and jerked back and forth. Her hips bucked in rhythm and her free hand clenched the comforter.

She felt the tingling of pleasure build between her legs and knew she was close. Her head thrashed from side to side as her hips and fingers picked up their pace. Within seconds her back arched and her hips jerked vigorously, as her climax hit. She bit her lower lip, to keep from moaning aloud and held her breath.

It didn’t take much to get her off, when she thought of Logan pleasuring her. If ever she needed a quick fix, that’s all she had to do. Even with her last few months with Bobby, she found herself having to think of Logan in order to reach her climax. Granted she felt guilty after, but justified it with making Bobby think he wasn’t loosing his touch, when she thought he was. Then again, it wasn’t his touch he was loosing, she later found out, when Bobby revealed his interest in a certain pyromaniac.

At first the news was shocking and upsetting, but when she saw that Bobby was happy and in love, she got over it. Besides, it wouldn’t have been fair to be mad at Bobby for falling in love with someone else, while she did the same.

Marie’s body slowly began to relax, as her climax faded. Her breathing eased and her moans slowly seized. She took her hand out from inside her pajamas and continued to lay there with her eyes closed. Her clit pulsated from the pleasure she gave herself and her juices soaked her panties, along with the insides of her thighs.

She finished savoring the final aftershocks and sighed deeply, before opening her eyes and sitting up. She tossed the covers to the side and pushed herself out of bed. Raising her arms above her head and arching her back, she stretched and yawned. When she brought her arms back down and went to head towards her bathroom, there was a knock at her door.

Marie shuffled across the room and opened the door, to see Kitty and Jubilee standing there smiling wickedly. Marie swallowed hard and bit her lower lip, hoping that they hadn’t been standing there the whole time listening to her.

“Happy birthday!” Kitty and Jubilee shouted.
“…Thanks guys,” Marie said with relief.
“So, how does it feel to finally be twenty-one?” Kitty asked excitedly.
“Um…” Marie paused, as she crinkled her brow, then shook her head, “no different actually.”
“No different!” Jubilee exclaimed, flaring her arms around, “chick you’re twenty-one! You can finally do all those adult things, like drinking and having sex, without someone telling you you’re not old enough!”
“I know, but what’s the point?” Marie replied, shrugging her shoulders.
“You still haven’t gotten the hang of that touching thing yet?” Kitty asked sorrowfully.
“No…” Marie mumbled, looking down at the floor, then back up at her friends, “but I only killed five holograms in the danger room yesterday,” she stated, with a faint smile.
“See that, I bet in no time, you’ll be able to touch everything you want,” Jubilee assured her, emphasizing on everything and winking.
“Jubes!” Marie snarled with embarrassment.
“What? What I’d say?” Jubilee asked, looking back and forth to Marie and Kitty, who was shaking her head.
“Anyways, we’re having breakfast out on the patio. Wanna join us?” Kitty said, changing the subject.
“Yeah, we can go over the plans we have for you tonight,” Jubilee announced, smiling.
“Sure, just let me clean up real quick and get dressed,” Marie said, making her way towards the bathroom. Normally she would’ve thrown on some clothes and left, but not this morning. The last thing she needed was to walk past Logan and have him smell her arousal. That would’ve only hindered a bunch of curious looks and questions, that she wasn’t ready to answer, yet.


After Marie cleaned up and put on a pair of jeans and a sweat shirt, the three on them went down stairs and made their way to the patio. The moment Kitty and Jubilee opened the patio doors, everyone yelled surprise.

Marie gasped and stood in the doorway. She should’ve seen it coming, when Kitty said they were eating on the patio, when they normally ate in the kitchen, but didn’t. She was too preoccupied with others things, to realize it.

Marie glanced around the patio. The patio was decorated with balloons and streamers, that were wrapped around the railings. A table cloth that had happy birthday on it in big blue letters, was draped over the glass table and an assortment of her favorite breakfast foods was placed atop it. Fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, English muffins, pancakes and of course coffee.

“Thanks everyone. Y’all didn’t have to go to some much trouble,” Marie said, smiling and walking out onto the patio.
“Nonsense,” Charles replied, as he rolled up to her, “it’s not everyday you turn twenty-one.”
“Yeah, so enjoy it chick. The next big bash isn’t until you’re forty,” Jubilee joked.

Everyone came up to Marie and wished her a happy birthday. She didn’t mind birthdays, but she was always a bit uncomfortable with all the fuss that often came with them, especially if Kitty and Jubilee were involved. As it was, they were planning a big night on the town for Marie and were going to make sure she got the full experience of being twenty-one. Which meant a whole lot of drinking, the possibility of throwing up after and a huge hangover in the morning.
er eer everyone said happy birthday and ate, Marie, Kitty and Jubilee went down onto the grounds. They plopped down in the lawn chairs and stretched out to rest their full stomachs.

Immediately Jubilee began to go over the plans for tonight. First they’d start by going into town and getting something sexy that covered Marie enough to not have to worry about any exposed skin. Then they’d grab a bite to eat and head off to a club, in which Jubilee insisted on getting Marie drunk.

The three of them joked and giggled at what it would be like to see Marie drunk, while unknown to them, Logan eavesdropped. It wasn’t completely on purpose that he did it. In fact he tried to focus his heightened hearing on something else, but when he heard Jubilee joke about wanting to see Marie dance on a bar, he couldn’t resist listening.

At that time, Jean had come back out onto the patio and looked over at Logan. He stood there with his arms folded across his chest and had an angry yet concerned look on his face. His brow was narrowed and his eyes were barely visible through the slits of his lids.

Jean glanced over at the girls and briefly read their thoughts, before looking back at Logan and smiling. She knew Logan was very protective of Marie and the thought of him not being very pleased with their plans and jokes, amused her. She thought it was cute that Logan was like that towards Marie, but would never tell him that. If there was one thing she knew, was to never tell an untamed, macho animal they were cute.

Jean sighed and walked over to Logan. Logan quickly reverted his attention to Jean and straightened against the railing.

“Is everything okay?” Jean asked in a whisper.
“Yeah, why?” Logan answered harshly.
“Oh I don’t know, you just look upset. It wouldn’t have anything to do with not liking what you’re hearing would it?” Jean asked, tg tog to hide her smile.

Logan looked at her sternly and a low growl formed in his throat. He didn’t like being spied on and was furious that Jean basically admitted to it.

“What did I tell yeah about that telepathy shit?” he answered gruffly.
“I don’t need my telepathy to see that you’re concerned about Marie and their plans for tonight Logan,” Jean stated calmly, not letting Logan’s temper get to her.
“Well aren’t you even the littlest bonceoncerned? She has no idea what goes on in bars and clubs. She could get into trouble or even hurt,” Logan snarled.
“Actually…no. I think this experience might be good for her. It could help open her up a little more and help her interact better with people,” Jean answered, folding her arms across her chest.
“That’s my point Jean. Guys are going to look at her and know how naïve she is and take advantage of it,” Logan replied firmly.
“Marie, has a good head on her shoulders Logan, and can take care of herself,” Jean replied, trying her best to defend Marie.
“Jean, she’s just a kid, she can’t…”
“Logan, she hasn’t been a kid for some time now,” Jean interrupted, “eventually, you’ll have to realize that she’s a young, beautiful woman who is more than capable of taking care of herself and is going to want to experience…certain things…”
“Believe me Jean, I know she isn’t a kid anymore and what kind of things could she possibly experience? Has the fact that she has untouchable skin, some how slipped your mind,” Logan said, his anger starting to build even more.
“No. It’s just that, if you want something bad enough Logan, you’ll eventually find a way to get it,” Jean carefully said, trying not to give away Marie’s surprise to Logan, of working on controlling her ability.

Logan looked at Jean and raised his brow, puzzled by her statement. He didn’t know exactly what she meant and instantly thought of something completely different. He grunted and his eyes shifted over to Bobby. He glared coldly at him, thinking Jea Jean had meant that Marie and Bobby found a way around her mutation to have sex. Although he wasn’t completely wrong, they had, but that wasn’t what Jean meant.

“Logan!” Jean snapped, as it hit her as to what he thought she was saying, “that is not what I meant and even if it was, it’s none of your business.”

Logan shifted his eyes back to Jean and he glared at her instead. Whether it was his business or not, if it involved his Marie, it was. His Marie, when did that happen, he questioned himself. He had never thought of her as his and was dumbfounded that he did now.

“This whole protective thing with Marie is great at times, but at some point you have relax a bit. You can’t keep her as a kid forever Logan,” Jean stated.
“I know, but it makes things so much easier,” he answered, sounding almost saddened by the thought.

For the first time in a while, Jean felt ase ose of conflict within him. A conflict of emotions that is. She could feel the struggle inside him, but the strong barricade his mind held up, kept her from seeing what the battle was really about. The only thing she could think of, was that maybe he was having a hard time letting Marie go, like a parent who hates to think that their kids are growing up.

Little did she know, that Logan’s view of Marie were far from a parental one. If she only knew of the ways he sometimes thought of Marie, he’d be sure to get a swift whack upside the head.

“I know it’s easier Logan, but for whose peace of mind, your or hers?” Jean asked.
“…Both…” he said in a whisper, as his looked down from Jean’s gaze.
