Dark Angel

Chapter 2
Six months ago.....

That was how it started, how they finally got together as a real couple, but ever since then he was never comfortable with leaving Vanquish with any of his male counter parts except Kurt and Scott. Scott was such a pansy with Jean that he wouldn't be able to handle Vanquish even if he tried and Kurt was beyond the boy next door type. Yet ever since Jean became the Phoenix and almost came close to dying, Logan realized that with years of knowing her he realized that he did love her and wasn't kept a secret. Although Logan thought his relationship with Vanquish was solid, he didn't notice how much attention he was giving Jean instead of her. During missions he was always right at Jean's side. He was there when she did good, really there when she got hurt pushing Scott aside. Vanquish and Scott noticed it but it was Vanquish who was more fed up with it.

'You do notice that we hardly spend time together like we used to.'

Logan was eating his steak as Vanquish just sat watching him eat. She only brought it up because she could hear Scott and Jean below in the pool going for a late night dip. Whenever she would put her head down to eat her salad Logan would steal a look of Jean in her red two piece bikini that seemed a bit too small even for her small frame.

'Whaddya mean hon? I'm right here eating this delicious dinner you prepared for us.'
'Yeah, but it doesn't have t&a included on the menu.'
'What? What're ya talkin' 'bout?'
'Tall, gorgeous red head about to bust out of her top if she breaths too hard.'
'Jean?'
'No Natasha. Of course Jean!'
'I'm only lookin' and ain't nothin' wrong with lookin'. If I remember correctly it was you who went beyond that.'
'Oh you bastard that was not my fault with Remy and you know it.'
'Oh yeah blame it on the eyes and the smooth talk, hmph.'

Not wanting to fight Vanquish just got up and left him to his evening viewing. In the kitchen she cleaned her plate and put it away watching Scott and Jean in the pool. Sure that Logan was probably leaning over the balcony rail about to fall watching her. The two of them lept from the water as the temperature rose to an unbearable degree. Laughing at her effort she went outside to the other side of the house to the garden into the huge maze just wanting to get lost for a while. Logan saw the water bubbling and knew that Vanquish's temper got the best of her and he had to apologize. He left his dinner to go find her.

'Hey Elf, have you seen Van anywhere?'
'No sorry Logan, is there something the matter?'
'Yup fucked up again.'
'Oh she's not the type you should uh...fuck up around ja?
'Ja my friend. Any ideas as to tame her right now?'
'Sure, just be honest.'

Logan shook his head and went looking for Vanquish. Kurt bamfed away and soon found her wandering the trail of the maze.

'Guten tag Vanquish.'
'Oh hello Kurt, I can hardly see you.'
'Oh sorry 'bout that, it's the fur ya know.'
'Yeah I know. Is there something you need?'
'I did not know I needed something to be near something so beautiful.'
'You can bother me anytime.'
'Vell, I do have a bit of information for you. Logan is looking for you.'
'I know he feels guilty.'
'Guilty?'
'Yes, he's been neglecting me and I told him so.'
'Oh. He even asked me for advice on how to calm your pain.'

Kurt and Vanquish talked until Logan happened upon them. As soon as Kurt saw Logan he bamfed away, but not before moving a couple hundred feet so the brimstone wouldn't be so strong in Logan's nostrils. Vanquish turned to walk away but her hand was caught and she was pulled in front of Logan. He didn't say a word only kissed her, caressed her back as he deepened the kiss.

'Yer right ya know,' he said between their lips.
'About what?' Vanquish mumbled.

Logan didn't answer he only moved his hands along her body. Feeling the warmth of her glowing skin as the heat began to grow hotter under his touch.

'I did ya wrong darlin', I wanna make it up.'

He kissed her softly on the lips, moving down the slope of her breasts to the bare midriff of her stomach kissing her belly button. She ignored the leaves brushing and scratching her skin as she settled against the maze as Logan lifted her skirt finding she wore no panties.

'You shaved?'
'Like three weeks ago Logan, see just goes to show you how much you've been ignoring me and....'
'Hush.'

She did as he snaked his tongue into her cunt, wet from the kiss he gave her. Minutes passed and Vanquish found herself naked and shivering under Logan's gentle touch. His hand began pushing her legs apart and plunged himself deeply into her throbbing cunt. Rocking together in their symphony of moans and grunts they barely heard the voices of Scott and Jean coming along the path of the maze. They began running Scott reaching the dark corner where Logan and Vanquish were passionately making love.

'Whoa, sor...ry,' Scott said

Logan ignored Scott until he heard Jean's voice asking Scott what was wrong. Logan quickly pulled away from Vanquish as Jean's scent drew closer. He pulled his pants up over his hips hiding his still hard cock or growing cock, Vanquish really couldn't tell at that point. Pissed, as soon as Jean made her presence known Vanquish stood holding Logan's shirt against her body.

'Nothing Jean, nothing's wrong,' Vanquish said leaving the three of them alone.

Alone in the gym Vanquish put her frustration out on the punching bag almost ripping a hole in it as Logan came and held it in place.

'Why'd you leave?'
'Why'd you stop?!'
'Because of our company.'
'Logan that's bullshit. You fucked me in a closet as the Professor taught a damn class just feet away from him. You fucked me on Fury's desk as he walked down the hall to his office. Give me another one.'

She kicked the bag so hard it bounced off of Logan's jaw.

'I didn't want to freak out Jean and Scott okay.'
'No you didn't want to show Jean your ass in the air fucking someone else.'
'I thought I told you, I don't fuck you. You fuck someone you don't care about.'
'Oh, so you do fuck me, and you want to make love to Jean?'

The question threw him a bit, but not enough that it didn't show true on his face.

'You know what Logan you can blame me for letting Rem touch me, but it hurts as much when you're being touched but that person is thinking of another he wants to touch more badly.'

Vanquish left him with what she said not wanting to talk to him. She went into the Danger Room setting a program. She thought of maybe a Sabretooth or Juggernaut fight but she was too exhausted mentally and physically for that. Logan went to the DR's control tower and saw her sitting below watching the two of them months ago, happy and glad to be with one another or at least she with him. Logan sat and watched her watching them until she left for bed. He sat and thought how he messed up, what kinda man stops making love to his woman regardless of who sees? A man not sure of what he wants he thought silently. Vanquish cursed her way upstairs until she literally bumped into Remy.

'Whoa chere where da fire?'
'Right here Rem.'
'Is dere anyting Remy can do to help?'
'Yeah. Ask me again?'
'What petit?'
'What do I see in Logan again?'

Vanquish did the one thing all the men in the house hated, she began to cry. Tears trailed down the shirt of Remy and he could only wrap his arms around her for comfort. He wanted to be the friend to console her but the Cajun in him wanted to console her the right way.

'You don' need him chere; if he treat you like dis you don' need him.'

He held her closer smelling her perfume feeling how soft her hair and skin were.

'I'm tired Rem, I want to go to bed.'

It was like church bells ringing to Remy hearing her say that. Not wanting to be to eager he helped her upstairs to her room opening the door like the perfect gentleman, turning on the lamp and shutting the door.

'Thank you.'
'Is dere anyting Remy can do for his petit?'
'Yeah, actually if you don't mind, could you run me a hot bath I'm sweaty and sticky.'
'You look beautiful to me.'

She smiled at him surprised she was even capable of it anymore. She heard Remy bustling about running the water asking for bubble bath, robe, slippers and if she wanted her hair washed. She thought that he was being sweet but knew intentions, man it was only six months ago. She needed this and he was probably the best to give it her, just some attention, not too distracted at least not behind closed doors. He left her a moment and ran back inside not wanting to be seen. He was hiding something under his arm and went back into the bathroom. Wondering what he was up to she just sat thinking about Logan and how she or he was going to fix this situation.

'All ready petit, nice hot bath for a nice hot woman, non.'
'I'm always hot Rem.'
'Remy not talkin' 'bout ya powers chere,' he said with a wink.

Vanquish proceeded to take off her clothes when she heard Remy telling her to stop. He offered to do it gladly. She only wore a big shirt and it smelled of cigars and he knew it belonged to Logan. He slowly raised it exposing her lovely body one peg at a time enjoying the view. Reaching her chin he stopped just above her lips kissing them softly, but not lingering. The shirt fell to the floor and Remy stared at her body liking very much he saw. A soft muscular toned body with the perfect hint of femininity. Her hair fell down to her mid back, dark as a raven in the night. Her skin was soft and the color of powdered cocoa. Remy had to try very hard from just jumping her and placed her hand in his kissing the back of it leading her to her bath.

Entering she saw several candles sitting around the tub and flower petals lying atop the water.

'See Remy know what he do, just look at that pretty smile.'

He ran his fingers through her hair as he walked her to the tub helping her inside. The steam came off the water but to her it was probably lukewarm. Vanquished settled into the inviting water letting her day melt away. Remy took a seat at the edge of the tub running his fingers into the water letting the drops fall onto her body. Vanquished looked up at Remy, noticing he was dressed very casually. A silk white shirt with dots of her tears, black slacks and shoes. His hair was tucked back into a ponytail that hung over his shoulder.

'What you lookin' at petit?'
'Your hair.'
'What's wrong wit it, you no like it like dis?'
'No, take it out, I like it out.'

Without question he pulled his hair loose letting it fall down his shoulders and back. He reminded her of a pirate like that, shifty eyes, sexy smile long hair and trimmed stubble on his face.

'You look like one of those cheesy romantic book covers, all you need is your hair blowin' in the wind,' she laughed.
'Yeah, I'd have you turnin' each page wantin' more of Remy.'
'I bet you could.'

He moved watching the water lap against her soothing whatever pain Logan had caused again. He asked her what he did and she told him and he only smiled as he rubbed her shoulders.

'Asshole, what was he thinkin', I'd never do somethin' like dat.'
'Mmmm, I know Rem.'
'May I ask a bold question?'
'Never stopped you before.'
'May I join you?'
'Sure.'

Remy quickly discarded his clothing and got into the tub, inching slowly as the heat of the water scalded his skin. Vanquish lowered the temperature just comfortable for them both and settled between his legs lying against his chest.

'I know doing this now is wrong and I'm being sort of a hypocrite, but I thank you for this Rem.'
'Oh no problem chere, Remy here for anything you need all you do is ask.'
'That sounds like an invitation for more than a romantic bath.'
'It is what is chere.'
'Let's just see where it goes okay.'
'You mean you cheat on Logan wit me?'
'I don't know, I really don't, and I’m just missing him that's all.'
'Den Remy won't push.'

His arms fell over her wrapping her in a warm blanket of slight security as she listened to his heartbeat. They sat there a while until Remy offered to wash her and her hair. Vanquish became jealous of all the women he did this with on a regular basis, more Remy's are needed in the world she thought, just minus the womanizing and cheating. Moments passed as they shared a kiss and fondled each other as he led her back to the bedroom. He picked her up as he kissed her lips laying her on the bed. The strawberry bubble bath smelled so good coming off her skin as he fell between her legs ready to enter her pussy. Vanquish felt like this would be the greatest revenge against Logan until she started to cry.

'What is it? Remy not hurting you is he?'
'No, I just can't do it; I care about him too much. He's only thinking of her thoughts of wanting to be with her is not the same as this Rem. This is too far.'
'You want me to go?'
'Please, I need time to think about this.'
'I give you whatever you need chere believe Remy when he says dat.'

He got dressed and kissed her again before leaving her alone. As he left her cursed and saw Logan looking at him clothes mussed and hair wet. Vanquish's scent lingered in the air coming off of Remy and Logan looked at him wondering if he did what he thought he did.

'Befer' ya say anyting Logan, it's not what it seems. She turn Remy down again 'cause she say she love you.'
'Really?'
'Yeah, but Remy won't stop tryin' 'til he get what he want, you know dat,' he said with a wink
'Yer pushin' it Cajun.'
'Just keep fuckin' up like ya always do and I'll pushin' this inside dat pretty sweet cunt of...'

The punch landed so hard Remy fell back halfway down the hallway but with a smile.

'I love you too Logan.'

Remy wiped the blood on his shirt and proceed to his room to change and figure who he'd let out this building lust upon. Logan stood in front of her door knocking softly but no answer. He entered the room but her bed was empty. He looked in the bathroom it was empty too but the candles and the petals made him angry again. His ears perked when he heard her laughing. He followed it to the balcony where she was sitting with Kurt. He silently thanked the Elf for making her feel better the way he'd rather have a friend do. He left her alone not wanting to break her mood and waited until tomorrow to see what was up with his dwindling relationship.
