"He snatches the crumpled money out of her hand anyway.

She has the audacity to look indignant. “Hey!”

The New Marie just giggles from her position pitched over his shoulder. “Logan, I don’t think ya earned that, sugar.”

“Don’t you worry darlin’.” He gives her backside a swat. “I’m about to.”"
um, so I melted into a puddle. And its the fault of that ^ and all the growliness. Just thought u deserved to know

Author's Response: Oh dear, I sure hope you didn\'t make a mess! Tee hee, yeah I *try* to make Wolvie growly & shirtless in most of my fics, but sometimes he just doesn\'t want to cooperate. Then I\'ll tell him, \"but you\'ll get your girl faster!\" and sometimes he follows through. He usually growls about it though, but I can\'t complain ;p Thanks for reading & reviewing my catalogue of stories!! You\'re on a roll

I had to go listen to the song first, but I loved it!!

Yay Storm!!! The lake house should be fun... *grins in anticipation*

Author's Response: Aw, it\'s so fun watching someone review chapters as they read them! Thanks!

Oh my god AMAZING!!! Hehe Loved it

Author's Response: Thanks! I was really unsure how this chapter would go over, I\'m glad people didn\'t think I\'m hopelessly pervy. Or at least if I am, it\'s in a good way. ;-)

Yay Logies up!

Author's Response: Yeah, Feral!Logan was fun, but it\'s time to say hello to Coherent!Logan...

Hahaaa poor Logan! And VERY lucky MARIE..

Author's Response: Yeah, I could do with some snuggles in a sleeping bag with Logan...

Well that answers that question. Mm I love his resistance at first, and the way he 'takes care' of her, guh, I melted when she tried to get into his pants, and he just wanted her to enjoy herself... Yummmyyy! And I look forward to his reward!

Author's Response: Oh, for some reason when I\'m writing my response to reviews it listed the chapter as \"None,\" so I thought your prior review was about \"The Stranger.\" Glad the yellow eyes thing was more clear in that chapter. I\'m glad you liked the way the smut went down...I wasn\'t sure that readers would buy that Logan could suppress \"Wolverine\" enough to be okay with that, but that\'s part of what I thought was so sweet about it. Just like she couldn\'t take advantage of Feral!Logan in the tub because he wasn\'t fully in control of himself, he\'s protecting her when she\'s not fully in control of herself. What a pair. ;-)

Ohhh I cant wait for the fireworks!! Yeahhh !!!!

Author's Response: :-D Hope I didn\'t oversell that, they are actually kind of civil. More a lot of guilt-tripping than fireworks.

Yay, Marie isn't letting him be an ass and walk out!

Author's Response: Of course not, what fun would that be? ;-)

Aww I realize now that this is the last chapter so far! But I gotta say, what a great time to stop! Lol. So I will be anxiously awaiting the next chapter as I recover from the puddle I'm in.
How much longer do you plan to make this story?

Author's Response: Aw, glad you liked it -- and made it all the way to the end without getting bored! I would have been quite devastated if you had been like, \"Okay, enough of this story already, bye!\" halfway through! I\'m embarrassed to admit that I didn\'t have the whole story planned out from the start. I first had the idea of it and that made me think it up pretty much through \"The Beer.\" Then I had to throw some obstacles their way to keep them together, and that along with the idea of Feral!Marie smut carried me through to \"The Stranger.\" Since then I\'ve been making it up a few chapters at a time. I realize it\'s getting ridiculously long, though, so I think a few more chapters should tie it up. I do have some idea why the military and Magneto are after Logan, but how that\'s going to play out exactly will be news to me. :-)

Guh. The smutty goodness has left me in yet another puddle

Author's Response: :-D Glad you liked it. Thanks for your review!

I was shocked for maybe half a second, just when he slammed the door, then I was like, duh.
I like how he made love to her the whole night before, and he seems pained by what he's doing, but certain that its necessary, and determined to keep her safe. I think its really convincing that he was prepared for her powers, and worked ways around them. The touches that make it most believable are: the food in the tub, buying off the clerk and paying for surrounding rooms, and calling Scott to come get her.
So good! I loved it!
Can't wait for the next chappie!

One thing, I usually only read stories that are already done, but this one just looked so interesting I couldn't wait that long, and I am beyond happy I started it when I did.

^_^

Author's Response: I\'m glad I managed to catch you by surprise, but still make it believable. As much as I think Logan is being both thick-headed and high-handed, I did think it was kinda sweet that he is willing to get past his issues with Scott to call on him when needed to keep Marie safe. Glad you started reading before the story was complete, your reviews were the perfect pick-me-up at the perfect time. I\'ll try to write the rest extra-fast to keep you from being in suspense too long.

"He tries to use a gentle voice when he calls her name, ignoring the part of his mind that’s all too ready to remind him that he’s never done anything gently. Inching closer to her, incrementally, with a patience that he doesn’t feel."
I melted when I read that. Theres something so yummy about Logan struggling to control the animal, the Wolverine, within, especially when its for the sake of Marie. Would you hate me if I begged for more? Cuz reading this has left me itching to know what comes before OR after!

Author's Response: Aww thanks! Hope you didn\'t make too much of a mess when you melted ;) While I do have a tiny baby bunny munching on my leg with this fic, I\'m currently tackling another giant rabid monster bunny that demanded a multi-chapter story. So maybe after that I\'ll come back to this. Thanks!
