Author's Chapter Notes:
i enjoyed writing this story. i hope you enjoyed reading it.

I still fumble with writing sex scenes, so if you see any problems, please forgive me. The long awaited ratings change....
Feeling horrible about making Marie do his dirty work all week, Logan decided to make it up to her.

He had pulled Ororo aside earlier that day and planned a candle-lit dinner inside her garden. If everything went his way, Marie would know just how much he truly loved and cared for her.

Knowing she was sleeping in today, he went to her room. Knocking lightly on her door, he creped in. Pausing to watch her sleep, he immediately felt love fill him. Slipping quietly across the room, he placed a hand written invitation on her night stand.

Kissing her lightly on the lips, he exited her room.

Phase one complete.

Now he had to get Jean and Ororo to take his girl into town for the afternoon. So he could arrange all the little details that could never get done with her at the mansion.

"Hey Jeannie, gotta minute."

"Just a moment, okay, what can I do for you?"

Raising an eyebrow, Logan smirked.

Scott stepped forward; Jean placed her hand on her husband's arm.

"Relax Scooter, I'm just teasing her. I've got a favor to ask your wife. I need Ro and you to take Rogue into town for a few hours."

"Why us? Not that we mind going anywhere with Rogue. However, don't you think she'd enjoy it more if she went with Jubilee and Kitty?"

"I'd ask them but I wouldn't trust them to get her back in time for the surprise. Besides I couldn't find them this morning."

"What surprise?"

Shifting his feet awkwardly, he replied "An I'm sorry for being a bastard all week dinner."

Smiling gently at his sincere gesture, she agreed to help him. Giving Scott a quick kiss, she went to meet with Ro.

Phase two complete.

Now he had to get the cook to prepare a basket. After all, what would a dinner be without the actual food?

Two hours later, his girl whisked away, Logan got busy setting up the romantic picnic. Blankets, pillows, and candles were placed in the center of the Ivy-covered gazebo.

Ro had promised him that it would be the perfect night for star gazing.

Scott had promised, with Jean's assistance, that barring any major emergencies, they would have complete privacy.

Seeing that the sun had set and that the light was fading, Logan went to collect his dinner date.

After a quick shower, he headed down to her room.

She was stepping out of her room just as he turned the corner. The vision in front of him was completely breathtaking.

Her hair had been curled and piled on top of her head. She had a gray dress on that brushed her thighs when she moved.

His brain couldn't seem to function. He opened his mouth to tell her how beautiful she was but no words came out.

She gave him a small smile, reminding him of her innocence. He steeled his resolve to take things slowly. To let her set the pace.

"Marie, darling, you look amazing."

"Thank you sugar. You don't look too bad yourself."

He felt like an adolescent boy on his first date. He felt like a nervous wreck.

"You ready for dinner?"

"Of course, I was heading that way. Glad for the escort."

He beamed a smile at her. Causing her to smile back at him. He could see the small gap between her front teeth. Causing his heart to speed up and the blood to travel south.

Slipping her hand into his, he led her out to the garden walkway. Once they got to the gazebo, he lowered her to the ground. He pulled his lighter from his pocket and lit the candles.

Later, after dinner, he pulled her to her feet. Turning on the music, he pulled her flush against his body. Swaying back and forth. He ran his hands up and down her back and leaned his forehead against hers.

"I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about this past week. I was a jerk making you do all that work. Will you forgive me?"

Oh, Logan. You did all this just to apologize to me. Of course, I'll forgive you. I could never stay angry with you. Believe me I've tried."

"I wanted to let you know, when you said you would do anything; I had some very interesting ideas. But I didn't want to take our relationship to that level because of a stupid game. It made it feel dirty."

"Logan...I don't know what to say. But why did you make me be your slave all week?"

"Honestly, I just didn't want to do it myself. Seemed you provided me a perfect way to get out of doing all that work for Chuck."

"You big jerk," she replied jokingly.

Lowering his head, he brushed his lips against hers. Before the pull began, he brushed his tongue against hers.

Ending the kiss, he broke away from her. Giving her the only chance she had to walk away.

Understanding his intentions, she stepped back into his arms. Pulling his head down, she pressed small kisses along his jaw line.

Groaning from the exquisite torture, he picked her up, carried her to the blankets, and began to kiss her passionately.

His tongue thrusting in and out of her mouth, mimicking what he would do to her body later, he fought through the burn of her mutation.

Slumping against her, panting hard, he searched for the scarf he’d taken from her room months ago.

Placing it reverently on her lips, he kissed her again. He could smell their mutual arousal causing the Wolverine inside him to stir.

"Not tonight, bub. Stay back," he growled at his alter-ego.

He could feel her squirming underneath him. Worried he was going too fast, he pulled back.

"Marie?"

"Shhh, it's okay. Just trying to get my hands free. Don't stop. Please, God, Don't Stop."

Smiling at her earnest reply, he went back to pleasing his girl.

Her hands pulled on his shirt, and then slipped underneath the material. Gliding her hands across his rock hard stomach.

His muscles clenched and he released a growl.

"Off. Take it off," she demanded.

Happy to comply, he tugged his shirt over his head. Then twisted their bodies until she laid on top of him.

Reaching for the hem of her dress, he raised his eyebrow.

She pulled it off, and then ducked her head. Blushing at her near naked state.

"Baby, look at me."

Shyly, she raised her head to stare into his passion-glazed eyes.

"Never be embarrassed. Not with me. You are so beautiful darling."

He ran his fingers across her stomach, and then closed his hand over her breast.

Massaging each breast, he closed his eyes. Her moans were like medicine to his soul.

He knew he had to work fast, he could feel his penis becoming rock hard.

Flipping them back over, he kissed her more passionately this time. His hands moving down to cup her. He rubbed his hand over her, back and forth, slipping his fingers inside her panties.

The scent of her arousal was overwhelming. He could barely think straight anymore. He placed kisses down her body, pausing long enough to tease her nipples.

Finally he was at his goal. With a rakish smile, he latched his mouth onto her soaked panties. Sucking and nibbling, he slowly drove her out of her mind. Her body bucked beneath him. He placed one hand on her stomach to keep her grounded.

"Oh God Logan please."

She wasn't exactly sure what she was begging for, but she knew if he stopped she'd kill him.

Her body jerked and then lights exploded behind her eyes. It was overwhelming this magical sensation.

As she slowly came back to her sanity, she could feel Logan holding her tight, whispering to her.

"It's okay baby. Just let go. I'm here."

She barely heard the sound of his claw inching out as he ripped her panties from her body. Pausing long enough to put on a condom, he slowly penetrated her. He could feel her barrier tear apart, causing him to clench his teeth. He stopped moving to allow her body to adjust to the invasion.

She lifted her hips, instinctively, to take him deeper. His self control shot to hell. He thrust in and out of her. Increasing the speed. Pounding his hips into hers. Yet gently kissing her at the same time.

Once she came apart again, he was able to let go himself. Arching his back and throwing his head back, he released a deep, guttural growl.

Collapsing to the ground, he held her shaking body to his. Giving her time to settle.

Suddenly a huge sonic boom sounded; startled he started to get up. The need to protect his mate his only thought.

The sounds of Marie's laughter filled his head. Quirking his eyebrow, he looked at her.

"Marie, something you wanna tell me?"

Barely able to talk through her laughter, she began," Well Logan, it all started with a plan to seduce you..."
