Burdens of Tomorrow

Chapter Six: Preparations

The next day after breakfast Rogue and Logan headed off to track down Domino. And with Logan tagging along that was pretty literal. Due to Emma Frost’s help they knew the basic location. However, Rogue was positive that she knew exactly where that would be.

Logan took his motorcycle and Rogue rode with him. They really didn’t talk all that much on the way. But once they reached the string of derelict warehouses they began to converse more.

Logan slowed down to a stop and said, “Which do ya think she’d be dwelling in?” He questioned.

Rogue replied with, “If I’m correct, it should the one on the far end.”

“And if you’re not?” He said, raising an eyebrow.

“Then we search them all. We know that she’s here somewhere.” She told him.

At that point Logan revved his bike and pulled up to the warehouse that Rogue suggested that Domino would likely be in. He then shut off the engine and they got off of it.

Logan then said, “Ya know, you two were close, but that was when you were part of the Brotherhood. She may not see ya the same.”

“Yeah, I know. And here’s my ‘but’ . . . it’s possible that she will.” Rogue said back.

“So, ya don’t think she’d run?” He asked.

She thought for a moment then answered. “She shouldn’t. Especially once she sees me.” She added, “She’s not one to run. She usually shoots and asks questions later.” She grinned.

He grinned back. “Now that’s a pleasant thought. Kinda arousing. ” He said with sarcasm.

She grinned once more and said, "Perhaps."

With that said they made their way towards the abandoned building. They continued on and through the door. Even thought they just entered without much thought, they both were very cautious. Domino’s and Rogue’s former bond could make her a possible ally. But it could also make her an enemy. She was an unpredictable woman.

After walking around for a few minutes Logan picked up on a sent. He notified Rogue and motioned for her to follow him. They slowly moved until they came to a door towards the back of a short hallway. It was open so they kept walking towards it. But just as they were about to enter a figure stepped out and blocked their entrance. It was no one other than Domino. She had a gun aimed at them.

“What the hell are you two doing here?!” She demanded.

Logan glared and popped his claws. “Told ya she’d see you differently.” He said to Rogue.

Rogue scowled at him and said, “She’s only protecting her domain.”

Domino watched them and then said, “You didn’t answer me.”

Logan was about to speak when Rogue stopped him. “Please, Logan, let me do the talking for now."

He grunted and said, “I didn’t come along to stay silent. Or to be only your ride here and back.”

“I know. I just don't want ya to say anything that will put six bullets in your head.” Rogue told him.

Domino cleared her throat letting them know that she was becoming impatient. “Look, it looks as though neither of you are a threat to me. I just want to know what the hell you’re singling me out for.” She lowered her gun.

Logan made a growling sound but kept quiet and allowed Rogue to explain. Rogue began by saying, “We need your help.”

“What? My help?” Domino replied.

“Yeah lady . . . your help” Logan said.

She looked at Logan then back to Rogue. “What could I possibly help the X-Men with?”

“Well, Nightcrawler’s visiting with the Scarlet Witch in Genosha. Pietro all of a sudden showed up and we all think that he’s up to no good, as usual. He said he was on her side and then he takes off. We know he’s with the Brotherhood.” Rogue told her.

“I see. And I’m supposed to help you how? I’m not with the Brotherhood of losers anymore. I can assure you that your suspicions about Pietro are more than likely right though. If he’s hanging around them that can mean one or two things: he’s either lying about joining his sisters or he’s a double agent.” Domino stated.

Logan finally spoke. “I believe he’s a double agent. I know from experience that those kinds of people are real assholes. Especially ones like him.”

“I have to agree. So you are kinda with us on this.” Rogue said.

“I guess I am.” Domino said cocking an eyebrow. She then added, “I have a feeling that there’s more to your visit though.”

Rogue and Logan shared a glance. Then Rogue replied to her with, “Yeah, there is. We were hoping that you’d help spy on Pietro with us.”

“You and Logan are going to spy on him?” She sort of laughed. “How?”

“Well, yeah.” Rogue said. “If you’d help us you and I could pretend to rejoin the Brotherhood or something. Logan could aid us from afar.”

Domino definitely laughed that time. “I don’t think so. I’m not rejoining them, even if it is only for pretend.”

A complete look of disappointment washed over Rogue’s face. “Then I won’t push any further. I just thought that you and I were still friends. I guess I thought wrong.” She looked at Logan and said, “Let’s go.”

Logan stared at her. “What? We didn’t come here for nothin’.”

"It's apparent that we did." She said back to him.

He glared at her and cocked an eyebrow. All she did was wink at him that time. After that it didn’t take long for him to catch on. He then followed her. Domino stood there watching them. She thought about what Rogue said. She really thought about it. But there was no way that she’d go back to the Brotherhood. Her and Rogue were pretty close before. And it was possible that they were still friends even after everything that’s happened. She sighed to herself.

Finally Domino yelled to them, “Wait!” And she ran to catch up. “Alright, I’ll help you. A chance to screw over the same people who screwed me over? I'll give it a chance." She paused and then added, "However, I will not rejoin those morons. We can work out another plan to spy on Pietro. The three of us are quite intelligent. If we put our minds together we’d do well.”

Logan gave Rogue a smirk and said, “I don’t blame ya for not wantin’ to be with them. You’d probably half starve with Blob around.”

“Yeah, I remember living there. We barely could keep any food around.” Rogue said. Her and Domino exchanged looks and laughed.

“Often we had to buy our own food and even drinks.” Domino stated.

Her and Rogue smiled at each other. “Those days had some good to them.” Rogue said.

Logan cut in. “That’s great and all, but let’s get back to the point here.”

“Sorry.” Rogue said to him.

He nodded. Then he looked at Domino and asked, “So, how are we gonna do this? Will you be comin’ to the mansion or will we be comin’ here?”

“It would be easier if you’d come and stay with us.” Rogue suggested to her.

“I don’t know. It would be easier, but I don’t think I could stay there.” Domino replied.

Logan said, “It’s only temporary.”

“I don’t think the other X-Men would like that.” She told him.

“It doesn’t matter. We need your help. They’d have to deal with it.” He said back.

Rogue said, “If they can deal with Emma Frost living there then they can deal with you being there.”

Logan said to Domino with a dirty grin, "And it appears that you and Frost have the same bra size."

Domino stared at him oddly, smirked and shook her head. "What's that got to do with anything?"

"Nothin'. I just couldn't help pointing it out." He said, still with a dirty grin. "You need some common ground with more than just Rogue."

Domino smirked again and shook her head again. She thought, "Men." Then she sighed and said aloud, “Back to the point, you’re both right. But I still don’t think it’ll work.”

“I understand.” Rogue said. “I’m just glad you agreed to help.”

Logan looked from Domino to Rogue and said, “We should probably head back.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” She responded. She looked at Domino and said, “Could you at least think about coming to the mansion?”

Domino replied with, “I’ll sleep on it.”

“Okay.” Rogue said.

Logan then said, “It would be a better place for ya to dwell. Trust me.”

After that they said goodbye. Logan and Rogue left Domino alone with her thoughts. They hoped she’d come to stay until they figured out what Pietro was up to. But they had their doubts.

Rogue and Logan left the building and got back on to the bike. Rogue questioned, “Do ya think she’ll change her mind and come to the mansion for a while?”

“To be honest, I don’t really know. It’s only fifty-fifty now.” He answered.

They didn’t speak much after that was said. He simply rode his bike towards their home. At least their trip wasn’t a complete waste. She finally agreed to aid them. Whether they had to travel there or meet somewhere in between they were still glad to have her help. Either way they truly needed it.

XXxXX

Hours later Jean was waiting for Emma in her own room this time. She had her routine prepared and was ready to show her. Scott thought that the women merely wanted to have some girl talk, so he wouldn’t be popping in.

It was finally the special day that signified their six month engagement. That evening Jean and Scott were going out to dinner. When they returned back home she would give him her surprise. Surely he’d have something for her too. She didn’t really care though. As long as she had him, that was all that mattered.

Jean waited as patiently as possible for Emma. She had the CD player ready for the song she was performing to. She even wore the full attire that she planned to wear that evening for dinner and everything else.

The dress she wore was charcoal gray with thin straps and it was cut low enough to show off her cleavage quite well. There were sparkles over the entirety of the dress. And lastly, it fell just above her knees with a mid-thigh slit on either side. She also wore black knee-high boots with a decent heel. There was no doubt whatsoever that she looked undeniably breathtaking, gorgeous and sexy all at once.

She began pacing back and forth. And finally there was a light knock upon her door. She walked over and opened it for she already knew who it was.

“It’s about time. I was wondering if you were even showing up.” Jean said.

Emma smirked and said, “Like I’d miss this.” Then she checked Jean out and added, “Mmm, you look unequivocally delicious.”

Jean grinned. “I’m grateful for your approval.”

“I’m flattered that you actually took my advice.” The blonde telepath said staring at her. She couldn’t get over how hot Jean looked.

“I’m not turning you on, am I?” Jean said seductively.

Emma could tell that her lessons had seriously paid off. She was surprised by how flirtatious Jean was. “Not yet. Just wait until you start dancing and stripping then ask me that again.” She smiled.

Jean smiled back. She wasn’t too sure at how much of Emma’s statement was true and how much was just playfulness. Either way she didn’t care. She’s far beyond being shy around that woman.

“Come with me.” Jean said grabbing Emma by the arm and leading her over to a chair that was situated near the middle of the room.

Emma followed her, of course. Once they stopped at the chair Emma seated herself. For a moment Jean just stood there and the two women gazed at one another. About eight feet away from the chair that Emma sat in was another chair. But that was just an ordinary wooden chair.

She looked at Jean curiously and asked, “What’s that chair for? I can’t help but wonder.”

Jean gazed at her and replied with, “You will find out soon enough.” Emma just nodded and grinned.

After a bit Jean said, “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to do this as if you were Scott. That way you know if it’s good enough.”

Emma’s eyes widened. “You’re going to do everything?”

“Everything aside from screw you.” Jean replied.

“So, what all exactly does everything aside from screw me include?” Emma was curious.

The red head flashed a sultry grin and answered with, “That’s for me to know and for you to find out.”

“Okay then. I suppose I’ll sit back and enjoy. Right?” Emma said.

“Correct.” Was all Jean said.

So that’s what Emma did, she sat back and waited for Jean to start her performance. And she was so excited to see it for she had been waiting long enough. Jean improved immensely since her very first time. Emma was delighted to see if that final performance would be even better than the previous one. And that one was almost considered high-quality.

Jean walked over to her stereo and pushed the play button. She then rushed back and stood about a foot in front of the wooden chair. Nearly an instant later the song started. It was yet another Nickelback song. This one was titled "Figured You Out".

As soon as the music started Jean began her performance. She had definitely come a long way. Her moves were smooth and very seductive as she swayed her hips and lifted her dress in a flirty, sexy manner. She then slowly removed her dress. She usually waited until the chorus to start shedding her clothes, but this time she wanted to start sooner.

Once the dress was off she danced even more erotically. She trailed her hands up and down her sides and over her breast. A few times when she moved her hands down to her hips she’d slid either side of her panties down and then pulled them back up. Emma’s eyes never left the half-naked woman in front of her.

The next thing Jean did finally answered Emma’s question. Jean sat on the chair facing Emma with her legs wide open. She moved seductively as she stared over at Emma. The redhead leaned back a bit and lifted one leg, placing her hands around her ankle and slowly slipping them down to her thigh. She then stood up and turned her back on Emma while thrusting and grinding her hips. She bent over and placed her hands on the seat of the chair, but only briefly. While in that position she continued moving her hips the same way. Before she stood up straight she wiggled her butt while peeking back at the blonde. Shortly after that she walked to the back of the chair and swung one leg over the chair and then the other.

After that she was done with the chair, so she moved back in front of it about a foot again. The song was starting the second verse at that point. She figured that it was time to strip more. She stared over Emma again, who was really getting into it. Jean reached up and unhooked the frontal bra closure and slipped it off. She tossed it to the floor where the dress lay. She then traced her hands up her sides and along the sides of her breasts, moving them over her breasts and briefly cupping them.

Emma couldn’t get over that. It was amazing to her. And she should have known what the chair was for. It should have been self explanatory. As she watched Jean like a hawk she would be even more shocked by the next moves.

Jean once again slid the sides of her panties down. Only this time she didn’t pull them back up. Instead she slid them down and off, kicking them aside. All she wore now was the boots. Emma’s eyes widened at that move. Now Jean did something she did every time, she got on to all four and seductively crawled over to where Emma was seated. She placed her hands on the blonde’s knees, parting her legs. And she slipped her hands all the way up to the inner thigh area. Emma gasped slightly, taken by surprise, and bit her lip when Jean did that and lightly ran her hand over her crotch. Jean soon stood up and did her usual lap dance. She turned and shook her butt and rubbed against Emma, whose legs were still parted. Then Jean turned to face her. She stood over her and ground her hips. She then lowed herself so that she was pretty much sitting on Emma's lap and began to grind her pelvis against her.

At that point the song was about finished. The second verse was over and it was into the final choruses. Jean and Emma stared into each other’s eyes the rest of the time. It was as if they were locked on one another.

Jean remained straddling Emma, tracing her fingers down along her cheeks slowly. She then cupped Emma’s chin and moved closer to her. Emma just sat there. The next thing she knew Jean’s lips were covering hers and her eyes were closed. Emma didn’t react at first, but it didn’t take her long to close her own eyes and return the move. So the two women shared a short, but kind of hot kiss. There was a brief bit of tongue action, however not much. After all of that Emma preferred for there to be a little more, but Jean pulled away and stood up. The song ended.

Emma sat there staring at Jean for moments at a time. She was sort of dazed. Oddly enough she literally got off as Jean was giving her a lap dance. She's never really felt anything like that before. It was strange. But it was most likely due to the fact that Jean had turned her on with her performance and then, to top it off, she was grinding and rubbing on her. It took a while for the blonde to even speak.

Jean couldn’t believe how that affected Emma. She stood there staring back and waiting for a response. She could tell that Emma was surprised, but she had no idea that it wasn't only from watching her perform.

Finally Emma said, “That was bloody nice. You're officially no longer a prude in my book. And when I said that I would fuck you the last time, I meant it. Even if there isn't enough testosterone in my body to sufficiently lower my IQ."

Jean smiled and said, “So, I take it that you really liked and enjoyed my performance.”

“That's the obvious. Too bad you have other plans for this evening.” Emma then smirked. She appeared to be joking, but Jean wasn’t one-hundred percent sure. Emma managed to finally stand up.

“Yes, it is too bad.” Jean said. “But I get to show that all to Scott later.”

Emma’s mood shifted a bit at the mention of his name. “Yes, you do. And he’ll definitely love it. You have my word.”

Jean could sense the change in her mood. She looked upset and her tone was oddly gritty after the conversation they just had. Jean said, “Since you helped me I will pay you back.”

“No need. Money’s not an issue for me. You already know that I don’t . . . “ Emma started.

Jean cut her off by saying, “It’s not with money. Think of it as more of a reward. I’ll tell you more later.”

Emma was highly confused. What could Jean possibly reward her with? Either way she said, “Alright then. Well, I had better let you be. You have a big night ahead of you.”

“Yeah. And thank you for everything.” Jean said to her.

Emma nodded and made her way to the door. Before leaving she said, “Oh, by the way, congratulations, darling.”

“Thanks.”

Emma then left Jean in the room. She closed the door behind her and walked to her own room. She needed some time to reflect. She had no idea what Jean was up to now. She only hoped she’d like it.

XXxXX

It was late afternoon and nothing much was going on. Jean and Scott were going to be going out to dinner in a couple of hours. Bobby and Kitty were hanging with Forge as he worked on some repairs in the Danger Room, which was nothing new to him. They thought they'd be there in case he'd need some help. Ororo and Hank were in the kitchen getting supper together. Logan was working on his motorcycle and Rogue decided to stand by and watch. Lastly, Emma was just standing in the living room staring pensively out a window. Ever since Jean showed her that performance she’s been thinking about a lot of things.

Some of the things racing through her head dealt with Scott and now even Jean. She really hoped that Jean was right and that she did get something from helping her. She had no idea what Jean could possibly give her though. She did enjoy watching Jean’s awkwardness in the beginning change to reveal that she was more seductive and sexual than she would admit. As she thought about that a brief grin swept across her face. But the only thing she wanted was Scott. And Jean wasn't about to give him to her.

Her grin faded just as quickly as it came when she began to face that reality. No matter how close she got with Jean she still couldn't have Scott. Jean would always be a pillar in her way. She glowered a little at that harsh actuality.

This was very difficult for her. Strangely enough considering the horrible things she's had to do and see. But for the first time in her life she felt so strongly for another being that she would do anything for. Even give her own life. Yet she couldn't have that person. It essentially hurt.

While she was drifting into her thoughts even more profoundly she felt that stinging in her eyes that has become all too familiar as of late. She grit her teeth, clamping her lips tightly together, and closed her eyes just as tight. She parted her lips, but through clenched teeth she whispered, "What the bloody hell is happening to you?"

As Emma said that, just as the night before, a single tear made it's way from her eye and trickled down her cheek. Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the front doors. 

Hurriedly she wiped it away and waited to see if anyone else would run to the door. When she realized that no one was going to she sighed, walked over and opened it.

She raised an eyebrow and asked in a snotty tone, “What are you doing here?”

Outside on the stoop was Domino, with her gun of course. Though it wasn’t aimed; it was only in her hand. She rolled her eyes. “I could ask you the same thing. But that's none of my business.”

“Well, it is my business to why you're here. I am an X-Man.” Emma replied snobbishly.

“Barely.” Domino mumbled.

Emma narrowed her eyes and snapped at her, “Regardless, I need to know what you want. The others are busy.”

“Logan and Rogue are expecting to see me. However, I’ve come a bit sooner than they had anticipated.” Domino explained. She looked past Emma and said, “I’d rather not stand outside.”

“You sound so secretive.” Emma said just locking her eyes on to Domino’s eyes.

“For your information, I always show up early. It gives me a chance to jump on anybody who tries to screw me over.” She told Emma.

Emma smirked and said, "So, you prefer to be on top. I like that." She then winked at her.

"Oh, you know what I mean!" Domino retorted.

"Hm, apparently you haven't been screwed either way for a while." Emma said snidely.

Domino glared at her. "Bitch, you don't know a damn thing about my life! So shut the fuck up!"

The blonde gazed at her, still smirking. But she somewhat shifted her position. "Maybe not. But you seem so hostile that I was just assuming."

"Well don't, because I'm not here to play games. Are you letting me in or not?" Domino was really losing her patience. If Emma hadn't gotten under her skin things may have went smoother for she loved to talk dirty herself.

"Oh fine. Don't get your panties in a bunch.” Emma said all the while keeping her snide tone and still sneering.

She moved aside and allowed Domino to enter. She closed the door and followed her. Domino looked over her shoulder and rolled her eyes again.

“Look, Blondie, I’m not a threat to the X-Men anymore. So back it up.” She stated sort of irately.

Emma scowled at the name and then told her with a snide, scornful tone, “I know, I read your mind before I left you in. But they don't know. And you sure think that they'll jump you.”

Domino said more calmly, “I just don't place trust in people too easily. That never ends well."

“Now that's something that I can actually relate to.” Emma told her.

Then she gazed down, hoping that Emma didn't notice, and quickly looked at her breast. She then grinned and shook her head.

Emma did notice though. She gave Domino a strange look, smirked and said, "I know we got off on the wrong foot, darling. But if you like what you see I'm sure we can work something out."

"Oh, no. I don't swing that way. I was just thinking of what Logan said this morning. It appears he was right." She explained.

"Firstly, don't mock it until you try it. Secondly, what was he right about?" Emma said.

But before Domino replied she put two and two together. It wasn't hard to tell that the woman in front of her had large breasts as well. This time she rolled her eyes.

"Never mind." She said with a smirk as her and Domino exchanged looks.

Emma took Domino into the living room and told her she could sit anywhere that she wanted. At that moment Ororo and Hank stepped into the room. They both gave Domino a look of surprise.

“This is spontaneous. ” Ororo said.

“I would say so myself.” Said Hank.

Domino stood up, scowling, and said, “Apparently Logan and Rogue haven’t told any of you that I‘d be dropping by.”

Ororo shook her head. “No, they haven’t.”

“But it’s probably for a good reason.” Hank added.

Emma then said, “We should have at least been notified.”

“Yes.” Ororo replied.

“Usually Logan would do so when it’s something important.” Hank retorted.

“They didn‘t think I‘d show up this quickly.” Domino declared.

Ororo said, “Oh, you are here sooner than they would expect, given you’ve just spoken to them this morning.”

“Yeah, so . . . do you know when they’ll be available?”

“It should be soon.“ Ororo told her.

Hank added, “But perhaps everyone should be gathered in the War Room for this right now. Jean and Scott will be heading off to dinner in about an hour and half.”

Domino nodded. “I agree. Everybody should hear my decision at once. And then maybe start some brainstorming.”

Ororo, Hank and Domino all looked at Emma. “I‘m on it.” Emma shut her eyes and said telepathically, “X-Men, please report to the War Room immediately. Domino has arrived and has something to share with us.”

Emma said aloud, “Let’s head off to the War Room.”

With that said the four left the living room. They took an elevator down to the lower level of the mansion. Soon they were all on their way to the War Room.

XXxXX

All of the X-Men gathered in the War Room as requested and seated themselves. Domino felt out of place being there. Not that she felt in the right place with the Brotherhood either. She wasn’t a completely rotten person, but she also didn’t feel that she was good enough to be an X-Man. Luckily, she wasn’t obligated to do anything but what she intended to do.

Logan looked at her. “Well, we weren’t expectin’ you any time soon.”

“I always prefer to give the element of surprise.” She replied.

Rogue said, getting right to the point, “So, what’s your decision?” She was excited to know.

Everyone’s eyes were on Domino, but it really didn‘t bother her. She took a deep breath and began to talk.“I’ve decided to stay here while we work on this issue with Pietro. Only because it would be much easier.”

“Since when do you take the easier road?” Bobbie asked with a touch of sarcasm.

“Since it’s better for all of us. If we meet it could be more detectable.” She stated.

Hank said, “She’s got a point. No matter where we’d meet, whether or not it was just Logan and Rogue, someone could figure it out.”

“Yes, and we have enough problems with this already.” Ororo added.

Kitty nodded and said, “Tell me about it.”

“And not to mention that this is one of them things that requires some good old team work.” Forge added.

Everyone looked at Logan. He raised an eyebrow and said, “What? I’ve been holdin’ my end quite well.”

There was a great deal of silence after that, but Domino broke through it. “So . . . all I will need is some pillows and a blanket and I can camp out on the sofa.”

Rogue said, “No, you don’t have to do that.”

“Well, I don’t want a room. I’m only going to be here for as long as it takes to get this worked out. Granted that could be a while.”

“You are our guest, so you won’t be spending your nights on a couch.” Said Rogue.

Logan glanced at the women and looking at Domino he said, “Yeah, whether it‘s permanent or not you can stay in a room." He paused then with a dirty grin he added, "My bed is always open, darlin'.” He then winked at her.

Domino shook her head, but grinned back in the same manner. "I'll definitely keep that in mind." Her tone was kind of sultry.

The room went silent for a while. Not because anyone was overly surprised by Logan's comment though. It was just one of them times when no one spoke.

Jean cut into the silence and said, “We have quite a few empty ones too.”

“I don’t know.” Domino said, still gazing at Logan. She finally moved her gaze to Jean.

“Oh, come on. I can show you around and you can pick any room you want.” Rogue told her.

Emma interjected with, “You might as well, who knows how long you’ll be here.”

“Yes, because we are dealing with Pietro and he’s full of surprises.” Scott stated.

“That’s not all he’s full of.” Domino said. She then looked at everyone and thought deeply about staying in a room. Finally she said, “Okay, I’ll take a room. But as I said before, I’m only here until things get settled.”

Rogue exclaimed, “Yay!” She then said, “I’ll be your tour guide.”

Logan said, “I guess that’ll be the end of this meeting.”

After he said that everyone filed out of the War Room. That wasn’t a major meeting, so they probably could have gathered in the living room or something. But it felt more official in the War Room. Now Rogue would show Domino the X-Mansion and help her find a room for her stay.

XXxXX

Jean and Scott went out for their anniversary dinner. He absolutely loved the way she looked. To him she was always gorgeous, but that evening she was even more so.

Their evening started off on a good note by far. They had dinner and talked a lot. In all, it was already a pretty romantic start. But now they were home and things were going to soon get more and more romantic. Jean would be able to show him her surprise and everything would get hotter from that point on. She could hardly wait any longer.

It was still fairly early into the night, only around 9:30. But she wanted to start so they could have the rest of the night to be intimate. If Emma was right then Jean’s performance would make Scott extremely excited. It affected Emma, so she knew it had to take great affect on him as well.

At the moment they just entered the X-Mansion and she nearly dragged him up to her room. She said, “It’s time for your surprise, my love.”

“Do we really have to rush?” He asked as she pulled him by the hand up the stairs and to her room.

“Only for this part of the night. Then the rest can be slow and passionate.” Her tone on the last sentence was seductive.

Once they were in her room, she closed the door and locked it. She didn’t want anyone just barging in. They stood there face to face for a bit. Then they moved closer, embracing and sharing a warm kiss. When they moved back Jean grabbed his hand again and gently lead him over to the chair that was still situated in the middle of the room.

Upon seeing the chair he asked, “What’s that for?”

“Oh, you’ll find out very soon.” She flashed him a sultry grin and bit her bottom lip. Then she traced her right index finger down his from his collarbone to the top of his pants.

He grinned back, but raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been hanging with Emma too much.”

 

“Why do you say that?”

“Some of her personality seems to have rubbed off onto you.” He replied. He then added with a smirk, “But, I’m not complaining.”

She returned the expression. “Good. Then you’re definitely going to love what I have in store for you.”

They stared at one another momentarily. Then she told him to take a seat. Shortly afterwards she made her way over to her stereo, turned it on and got her song ready. She programmed it so that when it ended she didn’t have to stop the CD.

Of course, the song was the exact same one she used when showing Emma her moves. And when the music started she did exactly what she did for Emma. After all, that was the song and routine she had rehearsed for this special night.

As Jean slowly and seductively danced and removed her clothing, Scott’s expression was priceless. She only wished that she could see his eyes. Even without seeing them she knew that they were wide with surprise and enjoyment, for she could just tell.

Scott never once moved his eyes away from Jean. And even though her performance was further along, he still had that look of shock on his face. However, it wasn’t as much as when she first began. At that moment he was starting to feel aroused, so some of the shock faded. That was really good, for he was able to get more into her performance.

She was now nearly naked. And at that point, he was beginning to feel aroused. As he kept watching she stripped every last bit of clothing from her body. She did the chair dance just the like she had done when showing Emma the routine. At that point he was becoming even more aroused. And when she got down on all four and crawled over to him he felt like he would burst out of his pants.

As she made her way to him, he looked at her with lust in his eyes. As she reached him, she stared up at him with a similar expression. She placed her hands on his knees and slid them up his thighs, slipping her right hand over the hard bulge in his pants. Then she ever so gracefully and seductively stood up and began her lap dance. She did this the same way she did for Emma also. Her whole routine was the same.

Soon she was sitting on his lap and grinding against him. At that time, they were both very turned on. The song ended shortly after and she kissed him gently on the lips.

In a matter of seconds, she slowly removed his shirt and tossed it on the floor. She then undid his pants and they both removed those. Finally he took off his boxers and now all of his clothes were on the floor beside the chair. They both stood up, but their gaze didn‘t break.

The couple kissed again, but this time much more passionate. As they stood there, their hands roamed all over each other and they began to make out very heatedly. Their tongues danced and wrestled together.

Moments later he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. They kept kissing until he reached the bed. He sat her on the bed and stood in front of her. Jean was about to go down on him, but he stopped her.

“No, baby. I just want to feel you this time.” He said.

“Sounds great to me.” She said with a deep, sultry tone.

She reached over to her nightstand and got out a condom. She opened it, took it out and placed it on his erection. She then looked up at him and bit her bottom lip.

She crawled to the middle of the bed and he joined her. He positioned himself between her legs, hovering over her. Their lips met again and then he gently slipped inside her. They both left out small moans as they indulged in the feeling of becoming one.

They kissed more as he slowly, but steadily made love to her. She raked her hands up and down his back. And from time to time he’d trace his lips down her neck to her breast. He now started to move a little faster, making her moan a bit louder.

He continued to thrust in that manner, but before he released he slowed down. They began to kiss passionately again and he pulled out. They then briefly stopped kissing and he rolled onto his back. She straddled over him and they started to kiss again.

Soon she reached between her legs and gently gripped his manhood, inserting it into her vagina. As she did so she moaned ever so softly. Then in no time she was riding him and her moans became louder.

She kept a similar pace that he did. Neither of them wanted to get off too soon. Dragging it out was great because it allowed them to feel more amazing sensations than if they would have rushed it all. They never liked quickies. After all, they enjoyed making love to each other. They wanted to bask in that wonderful moment of pure euphoria for as long as they possibly could.

In a few moments Jean sped up a little though. As she moved over him, he fondled her breasts with both his hands and his mouth. And after a while he reached back and grabbed her butt causing her to moan even more.

Jean was getting close to her first climax and at that point she slowed down like he had. She was about to move, but Scott didn’t let her.

“No, baby. Let’s sit here.” He said.

She smiled seductively and said back, “Okay.”

He sat up so that she was more or less sitting on his lap, straddling him still. They kept staring at one another and soon they were kissing once more. Their hands wondered all over each other as they fervently made out. But neither of them knew how much longer they could hold back. With each and every kiss and touch they grew more and more excited. And even though they’ve already been making love it felt, to a point, that they hadn’t since they held back on their releases.

As they kissed it was as if they knew what the other was thinking. Which for them something like that wasn’t really all that odd. But at that moment, Scott inserted his hard shaft back into Jean. She was still on top of him. And in the sitting position they began to make love again. This time they moved in unison.

At first, their bodies gently and slowly moved together. But then after a few minutes or so, they started to move faster until they were pounding against one another. The sound of wet, naked flesh was pretty intense. And with that and the way they were still kissing and touching it didn’t take long that time around for them to get closer and closer to their peak.

Within moments Jean arched her back and left out a cry of absolute ecstasy and fulfillment. She grasped onto his shoulders, digging her nails in slightly. But it didn’t bother him. At a time like that, pleasure and pain seemed mesh together as one in the same. Just as their bodies did.

Seconds later Scott moaned, as he slammed into her as fast and hard as he could. He moaned louder as he met his own climax. After holding back for so long the reward felt all that much better.

 

They were completely spent as they collapsed into each other’s arms. Now they just held one another tightly, catching their breath. That was one astonishing night, full of love and lust.

Once they caught their breath Scott said, “Jean . . . ”

“Scott . . . ” She said back.

She moved a bit so that she could face him. They gazed at each other and he caressed her beautiful face. “I’m going to just come right out and ask you this . . . . Where did you learn to dance like that?”

“Well, like you said earlier, I’ve been hanging with Emma too much.” She grinned at him.

“Of course. That makes sense that she would’ve taught you. You know, considering that she used to do exotic dancing and all.” He said. Then he added, “But also considering she’s deeply in love with me, why would she help you?”

She grinned again. “She wanted you to get the very best for our anniversary. And she figured that I wouldn’t be as sexual and seductive without her help. I have to admit that she was right.”

“I loved the way you were even before that though. Not that I didn’t enjoy the show and everything. But you didn’t have to go all out for me.” He explained.

“Yes, I know. And I told her that. But it’s okay. I really enjoyed performing for you. And I also enjoyed her lessons . . . .” She trailed off a little at the end.

He gazed at her and raised an eyebrow. “I sense that there’s more to this than you’ve just said.”

She smiled and said, “You’re correct. Which leads me to my next point.”

 

“So, you were getting to it?” He asked.

“Yep.” She replied.

He stared at her with an odd expression upon his face. He had a feeling to where things were heading. “Well, make your point, my love.”

She bit her lip and said, “This is very important to me. She helped me and I promised that she‘d get rewarded. And you know I don‘t go back on promises.”

He began to caress her face again as he said, “What exactly are you rewarding her with?”

“You and me.”

His mouth dropped and she laughed. “I’ve planned it all out. But first, are you okay with this?”

“Jean, I love you. But do you really think that this is a good idea? Look what she put us through.” His tone was kind yet stern.

“I know. But I do think it’s a good idea. She may have put us through the ringer, but after spending more time with her I realized that she’s not that bad. And Scott, she was doing what she thought to be right.” Her tone was similar to his.

He was sort of worried about letting Emma get that close with them. Allowing her to join in now and then with their private, personal moments seemed kind of crazy. And his mind went off in so many directions.

He thought, "I'm not sure I can be that intimate with Emma. I care a good deal about her. I might even love her. But, after what's she's done . . . . And what if this comes between Jean and I?"

As his mind continued to race, Jean picked up on some of his distraught thoughts and feelings. She pulled him closer to her, if that was possible and kissed him gently then said, "Honey, you have nothing to worry about. Just trust me with this. She's not going to split us up." She paused and grinned kind of sensually and added, "She wants me just as badly as she wants you."

He raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes. You should've seen and heard her when I performed for her. Her eyes were glued to me and I turned her on. I might've even gotten her off. I'm certain that I did." Jean told him, with a sultry tone.

He stared at her, gazing deeply into her beautiful green eyes. He found what she just said about Emma quite amazing. And it was definitely hot to think about Emma and Jean doing sexual things to one another. But he was still uncertain. “I just don’t know though. This is huge. While she has improved and might be lusting for you, this could be a mistake.“

She sighed, but kept her eyes locked on him. "It's not a mistake. I know what I'm doing. Like I told you, I have this all planned out. She won't be able to play us, because we'll be the ones with the control."

"Jean . . . ", he started.

She cut him off before he could say more, for she already knew what he'd say. “Oh Scott, please. What she did was wrong, by all means. But she’s making up for it. Even Professor Xavier couldn’t find the slightest figment of dishonesty within her mind. She’s really here to be one of us. You saw the people she had to deal with as well as I did. They’re pure evil. But she’s not like them. If she was truly than she’d have never actually got caught up in our ways and fell in love with you.”

Now he sighed, “You certainly run a tough bargain, dear.”

He had to think for several moments. Jean wanted to reward Emma by giving her them. So much could be at stake if Emma screwed them over again. He sighed again after contemplating it then said, “Well, okay. I’m fine with it then. If it really means that much to you.”

“Oh, Scott, it does. And I know it’s the right thing. She deserves to have something good and solid in her life, for once. I know that you care a lot about her too.” Jean told him. She added, “But, it’s not going to be easy for her. I have rules that I’ve set out.”

“Rules?” He kind of laughed.

She laughed too. “Hell yeah. She did cause quite a disturbance in our lives and our friend’s lives. She can’t just have it her way.”

“Care to fill me in on these rules?” He asked, still bemused by it.

“Sure thing.” She nodded and began explaining her plans.

Once she told him everything they took a nice shower together and went to bed. They agreed to speak with Emma in the morning to inform her of the plans. Scott didn’t think he’d completely like the idea, but he actually loved it. It was perfect!
