Day 3

"Mornin'."

Rogue snuggled closer to the warm body beside her. "Morning, sleepyhead."

He smiled. "Sleepyhead yourself. I was awake 'fore you."

A dizzying feeling overcame Rogue as he reached down to kiss her. She felt his hands travel through her hair and down her neck as his tongue slipped further into her mouth.

"You were real tired last night," he said with a smirk as he pulled back. "We didn't get very far."

She ran her finger from his forehead to his chin. "Guess not," she whispered. "You've still got your pants on."

His hands moved to her hips. "I know how to get them off."

She shook her head. "Not yet."

He frowned. "Why?"

She laughed. "Keep it in your pants, shugah---ah wanna wash up first...ah feel so dirty."

He grinned. "Is that so?"

"Ah didn't mean that!" She shoved his groping hands off her hips.

"Awww....I didn't mean to make you angry...let me make it up."

She giggled as he blew in her ear. "Cut it out! Ah'm serious."

"Fine."

Rogue pushed the covers off and reached for her clothing.

"Can you find me some watah, shugah?"

Logan shrugged. "I'll try, I dunno if I can." He inhaled deeply, trying to remember the scent of water.

After a minute or so he pointed at the section of woods directly ahead of them. "That way," he said.

Rogue wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lightly. "Thanks shugah."

He said nothing, too busy losing himself in her neck.

"Logan..."

He sighed. "Sorry."

Rogue gave his hand a squeeze.

Day 3

Rogue ran into the water and dove, bobbing up with a big splash and pushing a white strand of hair aside. "Whatcha waiting for, shugah? Aren't you coming?" She shouted to the shore where Logan stood, looking indecisive.

"Uh...yeah..."

Logan stuck a foot in the water and jumped back. "Jesus! That's cold!"

Rogue laughed. "And you're the big bad Wolverine from up North."

He growled. "Yeah, but even I won't willingly take a dip in ice water."

Rogue smirked. "Not even to finish up this morning's business?"

Logan didn't think twice as he doffed his clothes and jumped in.

Rogue shook her head as he swam up to her. "Ah'll never understand you guys," she said. "You'll do anything for sex."

"Not quite," He said as he gathered her into his arms.

"What wouldn't you do?"

"A lot of things."

"Like what?" She pressed.

"I dunno. But I know there's a lot."

She laughed and splashed him.

"Rogue!" He looked outraged.

"Logan!" She said, splashing him again.

"You lil'..."

She grinned. "Ah'm all that and a whole lot more, shugah."

He couldn't think of an answer so he brought his hands together underwater, creating a small tidal wave.

Rogue shrieked and dove under just as the wave hit.

"Rogue?" Logan sputtered after a few seconds. The water directly behind him exploded as Rogue shot up.

"Right here shugah!"

He jumped. "Holy crap! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

She laughed. "A heart attack? You? Impossible!"

Logan growled. "Shut up and come here."

She shook her head. "Gotta catch me first, shugah."

She dove under and started swimming as fast as she could for the shore. Logan shook his head and followed in pursuit.

"Gotcha!"

Rogue squealed and tried to find escape, but she was cornered.

He grinned and advanced. "No escapin' this time, you lil' Rogue."

He put his arms around her. "Ah guess not," she said.

"Come here." He pulled her close and explored her mouth with his.

Rogue let herself go limp for a moment, then tried to resist. "Mmm...Logan...Mmm...Ah..."

He pulled away an inch. "What's wrong, darlin'?"

She lowered her eyes. "Logan...ah'm...." She took a deep breath. "Ah'm scared."

He frowned. "Scared of what?"

She bit her lip. "Won't it...well...hurt?"

The look of puzzlement on his face disappeared. "I..." He stopped suddenly. "We won't if you're not ready."

She shook her head. "Ah'm ready," she said with sudden decisiveness.

The wrinkles on his forehead smoothed out. "Ok then. I can't promise you that it won't hurt, Rogue. But I can promise to be gentle."

She nodded and closed her eyes as he gently kissed her with an open mouth, exploring the roof of her mouth with his tongue.
