Gambit's apartment

[Gambit]

(( From The Human World :: New York City :: Out for a pizza ))
Remy walked to his door, opened three complicated locks and went inside first, switching off the alarm with a code. Then he turned to Shade with a smile and a wave of his hand, "Entrez, mademoiselle."
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 13:28
The way he unlocked the door made her smile. Watching him she realized he was so unlike any other guy she had ever met, but that didn’t lessen things in the least. Quite the contrary.
She stepped inside and had a quick, curious look around. His apartment was larger then she had thought it to be, but then again she didn’t know what she had expected. "Nice place" she said and turned to glance at him.

Remy vaguely wondered what could be so nice about his place: he had an affinity for spacious places with big number of rooms just because he liked to move from place to place so much. But even if that wasn't such a bad thing in itself, he also had a tendency not to supply his apartments with much furniture - only the most essential stuff. He preferred to sit on the floor, anyway, so a carpet substituted for chairs and sofas, and so on. However, he hoped the fact that most of the existing furniture was new and kinda expensive would compensate.
He threw off his shoes and walked over to her. "An' it just got a whole lot nicer," he added and picked her up in his arms, looking into her eyes.

She let out a giggle when he took her up as she had not expected this. "Why, thank you." she said her eyes locking with his before she leant forwards in his arms, seeking to kiss him again, letting her lips brush against his ever so slightly.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 13:50
Gambit didn't make her wait and kissed her, once again sensing how his whole body responded to the contact with her lips. The minutes spent on the bike and in the elevator made him long to kiss her even more, but he very well realized that he wouldn't agree to stop at kissing for much longer. The taste of her mouth was making him crazy, and the way her body felt in his arms made him think he'd won a jackpot of some kind.
He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Ya know, I want you."
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 13:58
She felt her whole body shiver slightly, every relevant thought being temporarily erased from her brain. The close contact felt better than anything she could remember, yet she felt a nagging impatience take hold of her, making her try to keep the kiss for longer when he broke it.
The tingle up her spine had increased since they had entered his apartment but his words both made her blush furiously and evoked an unknown, wild longing deep inside her. A smile spread across her face. "There’s another thing I needed to hear again after a long time." she said, her voice sounding slightly ragged, referring to what he had said back at the pizzeria about things that were in time to be heard again.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 14:08
Gambit smiled in return. "I'll be sayin' it more often, den," he nodded. The barely noticeable shiver in the tips of her fingers on his shoulder told him all about her longing, and he knew he couldn't refuse that hunger, not to her.
He raised Shade a bit higher and, turning her in his hands, threw her over his shoulder like a caught prey. "Let's go check out de bedroom," he concluded as he walked in said direction.
(( lunch break? ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 14:11
Shade let out a squeal of laughter as he threw her over his shoulder, her hair falling back into her face. "Not fair." she giggled. "Leaving me all helpless."
Truth be told, she didn’t mind. Not at all.
((lunch break. *nods* I’ll stay logged on but I’ll be down eating now. Back in 20-30 mins roughly ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 14:45
"I ain't leavin' ya," Remy objected, carrying her to his bedroom. He knelt down beside the bed and carefully lowered Shade onto it. Her face was a mix of happiness and amusement, and seeing that he brought such emotions in her only increased his desire.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 14:59
She looked up at him and grinned, feeling happiness of an almost intoxicating sort spread inside her. "You’d better not." she said, her voice almost a purr, before she reached for him to draw him closer.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:11
Remy allowed himself to be pulled down towards her, and their lips met again. One of his hands held her head, while the other slowly made its way under Shade's shirt. The barrier of clothes between them was a major nuisance to him now, and he had to shrug off the idea of ripping their clothes to pieces. He knew he was rushing now, but it didn't matter anymore.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:16
The touch of his hand on her bare skin gave her the feeling of gooseflesh erupting all over her body in seconds. She closed her eyes again, opening her mouth slightly to let her tongue flicker against his lips while her right hand, gripping his shirt on the front released the cloth again and came to lie flat on his chest.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:20
Gambit's tongue wrestled with hers, wanting to explore every inch of the inside of her mouth. He pulled her up a little with one hand, using the other hand to quickly get her jacket off.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:26
She followed his movement, shrugging off the jacket which went to the floor without breaking the kiss. Her hands free once more, she used one hand to keep herself from toppling over as he lifted her upper body to discard the jacked, the other to cup his face and let her thumb run along his jawline.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:33
There was so much tenderness in her hand on his face that Remy couldn't hold back a soft moan, pressing her closer to him. His powers buzzed in the back of his mind, wanting to explode something, to charge and let go of excessive energy that was now filling up his body. Remy tore his fingers off Shade's back and made a quick movement, shaking off the tension, then embraced the girl again.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:36
Hearing him moan, Shade smiled into the kiss.
When he let go of her for a moment, she opened her eyes, staring into his. "You alright?" she asked, her voice darker than usual while her hand traced away from his jaw further down.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:41
"Sorry," Gambit smiled, "my powers start botherin' me when I get too emotional. Don' worry," he kissed her on the tip of her nose, "ev'rythin's under control."
The thought of control had immediate connection to Sinister in his mind, and he kissed Shade on the neck just below her ear, seeking more distraction.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:44
She beamed at him when he kissed her on the nose, finding it an incredibly cute thing to do. "Then I won’t," she said in a low voice before he started kissing her neck. Releasing a small gasp at the sensation she pulled back her head to give him wider access to the sensitive area.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:50
Remy used his lips and tongue to bring out the acutest sensations in Shade's skin. The tender skin on her neck tasted sweet to him, and he made sure he left no spot untouched. Carefully he moved over to the other side, sliding his heated fingers of one hand into Shade's hair in the back of her head.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:53
She kept her eyes closed as if to increase the sensations on her skin, once more feeling a tingle run down her spine. Using her arms around his neck to keep him close she sighed happily, before releasing his neck and instinctively starting to tug on his shirt.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 15:56
Breaking off her, Remy pulled her shirt upwards.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 15:57
She lifted her arms to let him pull of the shirts, shivering slightly for a split moment when the air hit her naked skin as she was left with only a dark blue lace bra on.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 16:05
Gambit threw the shirt aside, leaning to kiss Shade's shoulders. He pulled off the straps of her bra, and his lips traced her skin where the straps had been a second ago. Then he unclasped her bra and returned to kiss her lips, pulling her bra off and moving his hands to unzip her jeans. He realized he would go crazy if he didn't hurry.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 17:37
His eagerness both surprised and excited her so while he continued with her jeans, she reached towards him again, letting both her hands sneak under his shirt, intent on pulling it off.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 17:42
Remy unzipped Shade's jeans and raised his hands, allowing her to pull his shirt off. Then he continued with the kissing, sliding his hands up her stomach and reaching her bare breasts; his thumbs gently touched her nipples, making small circles around them.
Posted by Shade on Apr 20, 2007, 17:44
When he flung off his shirt, Shade’s hands sneaked further up, roaming across his bare chest intent on touching every single inch but the movement of his hands let her concentration slip completely and she threw back her head closing her eyes in pleasure.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 20, 2007, 17:51
Remy saw her give in to his touch completely; he lowered her on the bed and began to kiss her shoulders, her breasts and her sensitive stomach while he carefully pulled her jeans off. He had to straighten up to take them off completely, but then returned to kiss her body and caress her bare legs with his hands.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 0:13
She aided him getting her jeans off, feeling an unknown sort of impatience take hold of her. Lying down on the bed she felt as if her whole body was heated beyond normal. She smiled, her eyes closed as he continued kissing her, her hands tangling around his neck but shortly afterwards untangling again to grip the bedsheets while she ached her body upwards to meet his caress.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 0:31
Feeling her body rise under his hands and lips, Remy smiled. He slid his fingers under the sides of her panties and pulled them off. He bent down and started kissing Shade's legs, slowly moving upwards to her thighs.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 0:36
For a very brief moment she felt exposed being totally naked now while he was still half dressed but the moment passed to quickly to let the thought sink in. The touch of his lips seemed to set her skin on fire inch by inch and her breathing increased once more, her hands shakily seeking to roam through his hair as the zipper of his trousers was momentarily out of reach.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 0:45
Slowly spreading her legs as he was moving higher and higher along her body, Remy finally reached the hidden spot between her legs and ran his tongue along the tender folds. He was cautious at first, ready to stop the second she'd show the slightest sign of objection.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 0:50
She allowed him spreading her legs, being neither willing nor capable to object, her mind being nothing more but dizziness and a chaos of swirling thoughts.
When she felt his tongue between her legs she whimpered from pleasure, holding back a rattled scream with some effort. Again her hands grabbed for the bedsheets, but now her grip was almost desperate.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 1:01
Remy took the sound of her voice as an encouragement for him. He raised her hips a little and let his tongue free, as if allowing it to act on its own accord, to explore every bit of its heated playground, to lick and penetrate the hidden opening.

[Gambit]

Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 1:09
Shade felt that the last bits of conscious control slipped from her in an instant. Opening her mouth slightly her eyes rolled back and her breathing became more and more erratic.
The feeling of his tongue was driving her wild and the tingling sensation by now had a firm grip on her whole body.
Shaky hands found their way to tangle in his hair while she felt she was getting closer to her climax.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 1:18
Remy teased her for some more time before stopping. He hated to leave her unsatisfied like that, but his need for her was getting stronger than his ability to hold himself back. While she was lying on the bed in front of him, hovering somewhere between consciousness and oblivion, he took off the rest of his clothes and joined her on the bed.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 1:24
She almost cried from frustration when he withdrew from her and impatiently watched him undo his trousers, her body slightly shaking, her eyes a slightly feverish shimmer to them. As soon as he was anywhere near her reach, she pulled him closer again into another hungry kiss both her arms slung around his neck as if she wanted to hold on him for dear life.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 1:32
Remy responded to her kiss with equal eagerness. Now that he could touch her skin with almost his entire body, he let go of all restraints and relished the feeling of her warmth sliding along his body. He wrapped his arms around her delicate form, and the thought that she was completely his was bringing him into ecstatic state.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 1:37
Shade moaned into the kiss, arching her body into his touch even more, seeking more contact, more sensations. She was completely lost within his arms; willingless, helpless in a way that was almost too much to bear. Her hands unclasped from his neck and traveled down his back.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 1:48
By the way she was moaning and wriggling under him, Remy knew that her body was screaming for him to take her. He didn't make her wait any longer and, lifting her legs a little, entered her in one swift movement. Then he gave her a few seconds to adjust. Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 1:56
The moan that escaped her bore a rough, hardly articulated utterance of his name, but even Shade herself couldn’t tell if it was more than an outcry of sheer bliss
The tingle became an almost electrical current and her grip on his back tightened while she instinctively broke the kiss for a short moment, throwing back her head slightly when he entered her. She opened her eyes and stared into his a smile creeping across her face.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 2:02
Remy looked into her eyes and felt the same smile on his face. "You're beautiful," he said, gently touching her face with his fingers. This moment was too good, and Remy silently wondered when was the last time he enjoyed sheer tenderness more than sex.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 11:43
Shade didn’t know what do respond to this and his words caused her desire to overcloud with something that felt much deeper, much more fundamental. She felt a single tear come to her eyes and she couldn’t hold it back - a tear of simple happiness so unequal those she had she over the last weeks.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 12:17
Remy noticed a tear on her eye, and a feeling of tenderness overwhelmed him. "Oh p'tite, come on now..." he smiled and wiped the tear with his thumb, then kissed Shade. He couldn't believe she could be so touched by just a few words. Maybe he indeed came at the right time in her life just now.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 12:34
The caring tone in his voice was deeply touching and for a moment she was caught between another tear escaping her and the rising of a chuckle deep inside her throat. She wiped both away before they could show and tenderly returned his kiss.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 12:53
It was time to end the pause, Remy decided. Still kissing Shade, he started moving slowly inside of her.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 12:56
Again a moan escaped her but this time it sounded more needy than before. Not braking the kiss she slipped her tongue inside his mouth eagerly while she arched upwards slightly to meet his movements.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 13:13
Remy slid his hands under her shoulders and held her firmly. Their kissing became hungrier and more passionate, and that urged Gambit on, he started driving into her with more force. He wanted to have her whole, to make love to every inch of her lithe body.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 13:20
Her hands gripped even firmer before her fingers started to draw patterns on his back, intended to be soft and light, but getting more and more erratic. Her breath increased and she had to break the kiss shortly as she felt she was running out of air. Letting her eyes flutter close once more, she lifted one leg to gently wrap it around his lower body, feeling she was nearing her climax again.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 13:31
When Shade broke the kiss, Remy used the opportunity to kiss her neck. He tucked his lips into her delicate skin, spurred by the feel of her hands on his back. Sliding in and out of her wet warmth, he felt she was beginning to tense underneath him.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 13:36
She felt it was all becoming too much to bear. When his lips traveled down to her neck again it took her only a matter of seconds to be pushed over the edge. Arching into his movements once more her vision shortly seemed to blur when she came with a rattled cry.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 13:45
Tilting his head slightly, Remy watched her reach her first orgasm; her face turned a pure bliss for a moment, and he felt her body tighten. He waited for her climax to subside and stopped for a moment, allowing her to recover herself.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 13:53
Pleasure was sweeping through her whole body in an immense wave, causing gooseflesh to erupt all over her once more. Leaning back, she opened her eyes again and lifted a hand to stroke his jaw while the intense feeling was ebbing off. Staring into his eyes she knew she could have looked at him like that forever. "Whoever told you to stop?" she whispered with a playful chuckle, her voice slightly hoarse.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 14:16
"Dat's not a stop," Remy chuckled, "dat's a standby." Then his face turned serious while he pulled a strand of hair off her forehead and studied her features. She looked so beautiful, it was almost too much for him. He buried his face in the pillow next to Shade's head, lifted her legs around him with his both hands and started moving again, almost instantly creating a steady rhythm between their bodies.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 14:44
Her features relaxed again when he continued moving. Keeping her eyes shut for a moment she reached up, letting her hands play along his neck while she tilted her head to the side to kiss his shoulder.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 14:52
Remy concentrated on his movements; Shade's body was giving him so much pleasure that he wouldn't last long if he gave in to it completely. He moved his thighs, pressing her into the bed with each motion, and his fingers dug into the skin on her legs, holding them up.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 15:01
She gasped and bit her bottom lip as her hands roamed away from his neck and down his spine, gliding sidewards to brush the outlines of his ribs before they came to rest by his sides. Desperate to meet his movements she moved her lower body a little further up, enjoying the sensations he was giving her while the tingle down her back returned.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 15:10
Remy slid his hands under Shade's knees, getting more access to the depth of her inside. He bored into her, sliding back and forth with more and more intensity. He wanted to give her as much pleasure as he could.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 15:21
Again she found herself incapable of any other action than breathing. Her skin felt oversensitive, every nerve on end when the second climax hit her with even more force, causing her inner muscles to tighten around him in an uncontrolled rhythm.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 15:30
With her muscles gripping at him, Remy could only groan and clench his teeth. This time, he did not stop but continued at the same speed. His blood was pounding in his ears, telling him of his own reached limits. But he still could hold on for some time. Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 15:36
He did not give her the time to relax this time and thus she had the feeling of only a minimal ebbing of her climax while shudders started to run down her body causing her to moan without being able to help it. Her hands grabbed for him, roaming along his chest, her mouth seeking his collarbone to gently tug on it.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 15:43
The touch of Shade's lips nearly set him off, and Gambit had to change the position, sitting up vertically. He grabbed her by her hips and forced her on him with more strength, driving himself into her; he was hovering just on the edge of his own climax. Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 15:49
When he pulled her into an upright position she aided his movement more from instinct than from strength or coordination. By now she was shaking even more which made it hard to control her own movements. Closing her eyes she concentrated hard as she was feeling the familiar tingle in her fingertips again telling her that she was about to lose control over her powers and flicker out of side. With effort she managed to set the tingling away in a remote part of her mind and craned her head to nuzzle his neck.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 15:56
Remy held her tightly to him, carefully yet confidently supporting her back with his palms. He could feel Shade's muscles moving underneath her skin and under the tips of his fingers, and the dance of her body felt the most enjoyable thing in the whole universe. He turned his face, breathing hard but seeking her lips for a kiss.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 16:04
The feel of his hot breath nearly drove her wild and she didn’t hesitate to answer his plea for another kiss, letting her tongue roam around his mouth playfully. The close contact of his body against hers, his fingertips against her back wiped all thoughts away once more as he pressed himself against her. Again, she tried to curl a leg around his waste, seeking to intensify the contact even more from reflex, her breath coming in gasps.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 16:12
As the world around them reduced to the heated wet spot where their bodies joined together, Remy lost himself completely. Shade's mouth, eager and sweet, seemed to urge him for a final leap. He held her firmly by her hips and bucked his body with all force and energy he had left.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 16:18
Again, if anywhere possible, the sensation of their joining increased tenfold, causing her to whimper into the kiss with pure ecstasy as a moan would have needed too much efforts. Letting her body submit completely to the flow of his forceful movement, she broke the kiss and let her tongue flicker across his neck.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 16:24
Remy shut his eyes tightly and bit his lip. His fingers pressed deep into the tender and sweaty skin on her hips as he kept pressing her to meet his motions. He knew he only had seconds left but continued nevertheless as reason was slowly leaving him, suppressed by the wild mechanic rocking of his body inside Shade.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 16:31
She could feel her heartbeat in her ears, his heartbeat close to her in a frantic staccato and placed a final, tender kiss on his neck before lifting both her hands to frame his face, watching his closed eyes through the slight haze that was covering her own vision. Her hands traveled upwards along his jawline into his hair and she leant forwards slightly to catch his earlobe with her teeth ever so slightly, loosing herself completely.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 16:40
It felt as if a dam broke somewhere inside; Gambit moaned and, squeezing Shade's fragile body almost to the point her bones would break, came inside her, breathing like a marathon runner. His head became empty of any thought but the feeling of sheer ecstasy.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 16:45
The almost painful grip on her body and Gambit’s climax sent her off for a third time. Incapable of screaming, her own ecstasy was only indicated by another frantic contraction of her inner muscles against him and a choked outcry. Feeling her whole body shudder uncontrollably, she hugged him as tightly as she could, closed her eyes and leant in to lean her head against his shoulder, panting.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 16:57
Remy stroked her heaving body, grasping for breath. He tucked his face into her hair, whispering tender nothings to her in French - all he was capable of at the moment. He could feel her hot breath on his neck and shoulder.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 17:02
She smiled happily, not understanding a word of what he was saying, feeling completely secure and content in his warm embrace. Keeping her eyes close she moved her head a little and nestled against him.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 17:24
Remy carefully lowered her on the bed, lying down beside her. He looked at her and stroked the outlines of her face. Shade looked tired, but her smile told him she was feeling the same he was. The fog of adrenaline was slowly leaving his head, and he could think more clearly now.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 17:32
As he lowered her to lie down again, her heart gradually returned to beating at a normal speed and the flush retreated from her cheeks a little. Lying here next to him felt so natural although hours before when she had left the mansion she would not have deemed possible what had happened now. She slowly rolled over to the side, facing him, smiling a weary but happy smile.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 17:42
Remy took Shade's hand and brought it up to his lips, kissing her fingers gently.
"Seriously gotta take ya out for a pizza more often, chere," he said, grinning.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 17:44
Her smile spread into a grin as well. "Definitely." she said. "I would have come to your club more often if I had known that going out for lunch came with such an incredible service."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 17:49
Remy laughed. "You're terrific, you know dat?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 17:52
She grinned back at him. "I am? Is that a good or a bad thing?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 17:55
"It's both," Remy said. "Good thing in itself, but bad for my peace of mind."
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 17:59
She laughed propping up on her elbow. "I shall try to behave then not to disturb your precious mind."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 18:01
"Good idea," Remy smiled, touching her cheek. "What good would a disturbed Gambit do to ya, anyway?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 18:04
"I don’t know." she said snuggling closer wearily. "If it’s anywhere near a Gambit in his normal state I wouldn’t complain."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 18:10
Remy moved a little to get the blanket from under them, put his arm around Shade and pulled the blanket over them both.
"Den again," he said, stroking her shoulder with his thumb, "you sure you know what is Gambit in his normal state?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 18:14
She stretched a little feeling comfortable.
"I guess not." she said. "But it would be interesting to find out."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 18:18
"Tell me when you do," Remy turned to glance at her, "I'm curious myself."

She felt so warm and cozy next to him that it began to make him sleepy, and he was already tired from their lovemaking. He kept caressing her shoulder, breathing slowly.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 18:27
The touch of his hand caressing her shoulder made her slightly sleepy.
"I don’t know." she answered. "Soon." She turned to watch him. "You know it’s just a cat’s leap from the mansion to your club."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 18:35
Remy chuckled. "After I spend an hour drivin' dere on my bike, dis cat seems more like a Nekobus* to me." He made a pause, then added, "Not dat I would mind drivin' dere, actually."

__________________________
*Nekobus a.k.a. Catbus - huge catlike bus with twelve feet that can run on wind and serves like a public transportation for forest creatures in Miyazaki's "My Neighbour Totoro"
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 18:38
She smiled. "Oh well, when you’ve been somewhere near the middle of nowhere an hour is a cat’s leap... or a Nekobus? for that matter." She lifted a hand to let a finger twirl around his hair. "And I wouldn’t mind either."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 18:41
"Good," Remy smiled, closing his eyes. Sleep was slowly overtaking him, and he knew he would need it before the night set in.
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 18:42
Seeing him close his eyes let her realise how tired she was herself. Shifting a little closer to him, she watched him for another moment, then closed her eyes and drifted away into sleep.

*****************************************************************

Remy woke up around midnight. He cautiously stood up, not wanting to disturb Shade, and went to his working room to get dressed. He put on his costume, carefully checking for each tiny element to be in place and in good condition. The smallest thing could jeopardize everything, and the thief didn’t take chances.
He took out his set of thief’s tools. Picklocks of various sizes, magnets, ropes, grappler pistol, different flashlights and laser pointers, magnifying glasses, binoculars, an oiler, several ampoules with acids and other liquids, smoke cartridges and other stuff of that kind. He spent some time thinking over each object and choosing a set for what he was about to begin. Everything went into his bag, along with his laptop and several packs of cards.
Then Gambit pulled his coat on and, leaving the bag by the door, closed the working room and returned to the bedroom. Shade looked absolutely the cutest and the most beautiful thing in the world, sleeping peacefully in his bed. Remy knelt down beside her and kissed her on the cheek.

(( so he's dressed like this at the moment ))

Normally she was no light sleeper, but when she felt his lips touch her cheek, her eyes fluttered open wearily. "You’re leaving?" she asked, her voice a weary whisper.
((*whistles* Pretty thing ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 19:02
"Gotta go, chere," he said quietly. "But you can stay here long as you need. Door shuts itself, so when you need to leave, just close it, dat's all."
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 19:04
She smiled. "I might nick another few hours of sleep then." she said. "and get back to the mansion in the morning. I told noone where I went." she reached to stroke his face. "Do you know when you’ll be back?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 19:10
"Absolutely no idea," Remy replied. He wasn't even sure if he would be back at all, but he didn't want her to know that. "But I'll be gone for a few days, dat's for sho."
He took her face in his hands and gave her a slow, deep kiss on the lips. "You'll know when I'm back."
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 19:12
A short hint of concern showed in her eyes. The room was in twilight and she could not make out details of his clothing, but it seemed he had dressed for something that needed thorough preparation. She responded the kiss, then nodded.
"Okay." she said
Posted by Gambit on Apr 21, 2007, 19:15
Remy smiled. "Sleep well, cheri," he kissed her again, stood up and left.
(( congrats on 6+ thousand posts ))

His kiss was the last thing she consciously felt. Before he had even left completely, she had fallen asleep again.

((Oh, thanks. I didn’t even see that ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 21, 2007, 19:34
***

When she woke up, it was already bright day outside. After blinking into the light for a moment, taking some time to slowly drift back into consciousness, Shade stretched lazily, then had a look at an alarm clock standing somewhere near. It was shortly past 8 and she couldn’t remember having awoken at any point during the night after Gambit had left.
She sat up in the bad and used the blanket to cover herself as she was freezing slightly. For a few moment she remained sitting there, looking around, taking in the details of the room she had not paid attention to the previous evening. The apartment was silent, only the traffic to be heard silently from outside - it seemed empty without him.
Shade pulled her legs closer to her body, resting her chin on her knees for a moment while the weariness wore off. Then she took the thin blanket, wrapped it around herself - rather for comfort and because it felt a little less lonely like this - got up and walked across the room.
She found the bathroom quickly and left the blanket on the floor to take a quick shower, enjoying the warm water erase the rest of her tiredness.
15 minutes later she left, closing the door as he had told her, took the elevator downstairs and walked out into the street in search of a bus stop.

(( Move from: New York City :: Laserzone ))
Remy stumbled into his apartment without stopping his kiss with Shade and without watching where he was going. He felt for the buttons on his alarm, managing to disable it somehow without looking, then slammed the door behind them, threw the bags with Chinese take-away food on the floor and finally was able to use his both hands to pull Shade closer.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 17:38
Shade chuckled slightly when he stumbled. She let him pull her into a closer embrace and tilted her head to the side to deepen the kiss, torn between the touch of his lips and the delicate smell that rose from the lunch packages and made her stomach rumble.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 17:43
Remy's tongue explored every bit inside Shade's mouth, tasting the deep kiss. One of his hands was stroking Shade's neck and the back of her head.
Finally he made an effort and pulled back from her. "Okay, okay," he said, breathing a little harder than usually, "we gotta stop an' eat somethin'... else."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 17:47
She nodded and stiffled a grin. "Probably." she agreed. "Chinese is better when it’s still hot."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 17:52
Remy grabbed the bags and, kicking his shoes off, headed for the carpet in the living room. He turned the music on and sat down, crossing his legs.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 17:59
She kicked off her shoes as well and followed him, sitting down on the carpet. It felt casual to sit and eat like this she thought and picked one of the bags to get her share of the food out.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 18:03
"So," Remy took his pair of chopsticks and picked a piece of food from his package, "where do ya wanna go next?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 18:12
Shade used her chopsticks to slightly ungracefully start on her sweet sour pork with vegetables and thought. "I don’t know much about what’s to see here." she admitted. "but I’d love to see some places closer to the river, like the bridges or something. Any nice places there?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 18:27
"Dat'd be Europe," Remy chuckled. "But I can think of somethin'."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 18:29
She chuckled. "Fine" she said, and continued eating. "You’ve been to Europe?" she asked out of interest. "How is it?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 18:56
"You're askin' de wrong person," Remy sighed, lowering his eyes to his food. "Ev'ry time Gambit go to Europe, he get into big trouble. Maybe dat's 'cause I don' go dere on vacation..."
(( sorry for delays but I have an excuse, I'm making Shade avas ))
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:01
She shrugged. "Or maybe it’s the other way round, first the trouble, then Gambit. Or it’s a European thing to get into trouble, who knows?" She fished for a small piece of meat. "When I was at Highschool I’d tell myself I’d go on a trip around Europe later if I had the money."
(No prob. And of course then you’re forgiven ))
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 19:03
Remy's eyes shone at that.
"No-no-no," he said, "dat won' do. You'll get overdose. It be better t' go dere ev'ry once in a while. Wish I could show ya some pictures, but I don' take 'em."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:06
"An overdose of traveling doesn’t sound too bad." she said. "but I guess you’re right. Would just leave the difficult decision of where to go first."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 19:12
"Do it alphabetically," Remy shrugged with a grin. "Dere are no borin' places in de world."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:14
Shade tried to think of a European country starting with A. "So I could start in..... Andorra or something." she said. "Good idea, I never thought of planning it like that."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 19:20
Remy winked at her. "Ya don' do much plannin', chere, from what I've noticed."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:21
She grinned. "I do?" she asked feigning surprise. "Has to be some brain damage or something."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 19:22
"Et pour quoi?" Remy asked. "Is plannin' always a good t'ing?" he ate another piece of his food.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:24
Easy question, she thought. "No." she said honestly. "Sometimes it’s a lot better to wait for your life to come up with unexpected surprises."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 19:31
"Isn't life one endless un'xpected surprise?" Remy squinted at her mischievously.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 19:40
She nodded and smiled. It was one of the reasons why she enjoyed his company so much, she never knew what he would say or do or come up with next. She didn’t say that aloud.
"How very true." she said.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:03
"Are you afraid 'f surprises, Shade?" Remy asked.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:06
She shook her head. "Not any more" she said. "At least when it comes to good surprises."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:16
"Good is so relative," Remy waved his hand to indicate the relativity. "Would me tearin' your clothes off wit' my teeth classify as good?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:23
She looked up from her food to look at him trying not to smirk. "Good is what feels good" she said.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:25
"You coulda jus' said 'whatever'," Remy chuckled.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:28
"I could have" she said flashing him a grin. "See? Surprises are so much fun."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:31
"I only meant dat what ya said sounded like, 'whatever, Gambit, buzz off wit' your stupid questions," Remy explained, "so I figured you coulda said it wit' a lesser amount of words." He sent another piece of food into his mouth. "Gambit's hard to surprise, t'ough he ain't hopeless."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:35
She laughed at that. "Now you sound like you’re pouting" she said and shot a pea into his direction.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:36
"Can't I pout anymore?" Remy laughed.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:42
She snickered “Oh, sure you can.” She said. “It’s kind of cute. Makes you look a little girlish, though” she teased.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 20:54
"Does it tickle your kinky side, cheri?" Remy winked, throwing a balled napkin at Shade.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 20:58
She ducked to avoid the napkin but didn’t do so in time. "What?" she asked laughing "the ?pouting? or the ?girlish??"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:05
"De girlish side," Remy laughed, "I can't pout t' save my life."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:09
She shook her head and threw the napkin back at him. "No." she said. "Sorry to disappoint to."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:12
"Whew, what a relief!" Remy rolled his eyes. He put his food away and stood up, walking past Shade and ruffling her hair on his way by. "Want somethin' t' drink?"
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:20
She reached out to pinch his knee while he walked past but didn’t grab it and almost lost her balance.
"Sure." she said, turning her head at him. "Just make sure it’s not too alcoholic. You know you could get me drunk and seduce me and all that." she added with played seriousness.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:27
"Say..." Remy glanced at her. "Dat be a great idea, cheri."
He walked over to his bar and mixed martini with sprite for Shade and gin with tonic for himself.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:34
She grinned. "Oh well, I’m full of great ideas. Or ?occasionally? so as Rogue would put it." She leaned back on her elbows and stroked along the carpet with her toes.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:40
"Please share," Remy said, pricking up his ears, as he handed Shade her drink and sat back in front of her.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:47
She took the glass and took a sip, then shrugged. "I dunno." she said, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, tilting her head to the side. "Can’t think of anything right now, but I might come up with something all of a sudden. You never know."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:48
"Right," Remy's face lit with a knowing smile, "surprise Gambit. Occasionally."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:50
She grinned and feigned shock. "I never surprised you before then?" she asked. "Am I that predictible?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:54
"Ya ain't even tried, cheri," Remy explained. "Though I could name a few rather surprisin' moments, but I wouldn' think they were intentional." He drank from his glass.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 21:56
She pulled her legs closer and leaned her head on her knees, watching him with a smile. "So?" she asked. "Enlighten me. Tell me about some of these ?rather surprising moments?. Maybe I can improve on them."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 21:58
Remy leaned sideways, propping himself on one elbow. "Alors, let's see..." he glanced upwards, recalling their recent meetings. "Ya didn' fall off my bike after ya got drunk," he said. "Dat's one, for starters."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:00
Shade laughed. "That doesn’t really count, you mentioned it before. Tell me something else."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:08
"Bien," Remy accepted her objection. "It took me longer dan one hour t' seduce ya. I was pretty surprised."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:09
She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, I was a challenge then?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:11
Remy nodded, drinking from his glass. "Still are," he said.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:12
Shade grinned at him. "Good" she said before having another sip of her drink.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:16
"Most definitely," Remy agreed.
It was getting dark in his apartment, and Shade was slowly turning into specks of white skin of her face, neck and hands against darker clothing that were already fading into the twilight around them. He liked that; it helped him to concentrate on what really mattered.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:19
She dipped a finger into her drink and then let it run along the rim of the glass letting the contact produced a high pitched sound from the glass. Another thing she hadn’t done for years she noted smiling.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:22
Remy smiled. It was so cool - he rarely met people who knew how to do that. He did the same to his glass, and the resulting sound formed a small chord in tone with Shade's glass.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:24
She looked up and smiled at him. "I used to do that at home" she said. "got some people rather annoyed."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:27
"Den you coulda turned invisible an' impersonate poltergeist," Remy said. "Do it without anybody seein' ya."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:29
"I did that once." she said with a grin. "Scared the neighborhood kids out of their minds and my brother won 5 bucks for the bet of something spooky going on in that old empty hut."

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:45
Remy laughed. "Bet dat means ya ain't afraid of ghosts an' all," he supposed.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:46
She shook her head. "No." she said with a grin. "Never been."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:49
Remy smiled at that response and silently raised his glass at her before drinking from it.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 22:51
She took a sip of her glass as well. "What did we drink to?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 22:56
Remy shrugged. "World peace?" he ventured a guess.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:02
She nodded. "World peace is always a good thing to drink to." she said.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:05
"Yeah," Remy grinned, "'specially when ye're too lazy t' think of a decent toast."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:06
Shade chuckled "Especially then." she agreed "And there I was thinking you meant that serious."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:14
"I can't mean dat," Remy said. "It be like drinkin' to de end of all deaths in de world. I don' believe in utopias."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:19
Shade nodded, stretched and lay down on her stomach to be more comfortable. "And as the word suggests they are not meant to be believed in."
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:22
"Alors, very little stuff is meant for believin' in it," Remy said.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:26
She propped her chin onto her hand watching him interestedly while the room around them descended more and more into twilight. "Isn’t life like an eternal quest for what to believe in?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:31
"Yeah," Remy nodded, "an' den you're ninety an' about to die, an' you go like, 'F*ck, I finally get de point - an' I've wasted my entire life!'" He smirked and drank from his glass.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:35
She chuckled. "Still, it would be rather boring to just take over beliefs and never actually think them over wouldn’t it?"
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:43
"Depend on what kind of person you are," Remy said. "To Shade, yep, dat could be borin'. To Gambit as well."
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:46
Shade nodded. "Just what I meant." she said. "Same thing as what you want to do with your life in general. This sort of husband, two and a half kids, garden with a white fence and a dog called Rocky or something idyll is somewhat too boring." She shrugged. "I know a handful of my old highschool buddies who’d disagree on that though.
Posted by Gambit on Apr 30, 2007, 23:50
Remy chuckled at her description. He'd seen Guild members at fifty, at seventy, at ninety - very few of them settled for that kind of life, and he knew he was heading the same direction, even more drastically so.
"What's on your list 'f t'ings to do before ya die?" he asked Shade.
Posted by Shade on Apr 30, 2007, 23:58
"Hm... good question." She had to think about that and rolled onto her back, looking at the ceiling. "some of the things are rather random. Meet people where you know they were worth being around, see nice places that are worth being remembered..." She paused and a smile crept on her face "and watch Earth from a spaceship."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:02
"Oddly enough, dat last one is relatively simple t' achieve," Remy remarked. "Others rely on pure chance an' your attitude."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:05
"True." she said crossing her arms behind her heads. She knew friends were rare gems to be valued and not easy to find in an ocean of people who were indifferent.
"Although I’d not know how to do the spaceship thing without being a shapeshifter or something."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:09
"Far as I know," Remy said, "you simply pay."
It was now completely dark in the room, except for the light from pale brown Manhattan sky and some traffic lights reflected from below, and he was somewhat curious why Shade didn't say anything about it. Probably she cared about it just as little as he himself did. Even only talking to her was enough and made him feel completely relaxed and satisfied with what he had at the moment.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:13
"Oh." Shade said. "Right. Well, I’d better start some sort of fund raising soon then."
She continued looking at the ceiling where the light of the traffic reflected. How late is it, she asked herself but could only guess as she was too lazy to have a look at her watch. There was something she tried to remember. History... she had a history class tomorrow. She had to remember that. The lesson was planned and the things she’d need for it were on her desk. She’d only have to pick them up.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:18
Remy quietly placed his glass on the floor and crawled over to Shade. He leaned over her, seeing her face upside down from his perspective.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:21
She smiled up at him and watched what of his features she could make out in the dim light.
"Stereotypical female question: what are you thinking?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:22
"Do Gambit have to come up wit' a stereotypical male answer?" Remy wondered, studying what was seen of her face in the dark and focusing on her lips.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:25
"No." she gave back "just with an honest one.... that is if Gambit does chose to tell the truth."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:29
"I'm thinkin' you're beautiful," Remy said. "An' you're fun. An' I can't help wantin' you again. But I'm afraid dat be all stereotypical male stuff."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:33
She sighed and smiled. "It is." she said. "but it’s still nice to hear all that." She reached up to touch his hair twirling it with her fingers.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:36
Remy bent lower and kissed Shade on the lips, doing it carefully, as if he wasn't allowed to disturb her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:39
She accepted his kiss without objection, something in the back of her mind telling her they had just had the longest and most in depth conversation since they had first slept with each other. She untangled her fingers from his hair and lifted her other hand as well to frame his face continuing to kiss him softly.
((*gets a movie reference at the overhead kiss* ))
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:45
Remy moved his lips a little, not wanting to be aggressive about it, only holding the lock of their lips as gently as he could, as he moved his hands along Shade's sides, pulling slightly at the bottom of her shirt and exposing Shade's stomach.
(( with a great kiss comes great responsibility, we all know that ))
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:49
His kiss was so tender and careful that Shade felt an intense feeling of security spread inside her. Being with him at this moment just seemed right for some reason. She softly nibbled at his bottom lip, shifting slightly so he could push up her shirt with ease.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 0:53
Remy pulled her shirt off and returned to kiss her. A feeling of tenderness came over him, making him sharply take in air when adrenaline sent his heart racing at that sudden impulse of emotion. His hands went back to Shade's sides, slowly caressing her bare skin.
(( Good night ))
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 0:56
She kissed him again, then broke the kiss and leant her forehead against his. Something made her want to look into his eyes and so she did, watching him while he continued to caress her.
((okies, sleep well ))
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 9:50
"What do ya see, chere?" Remy asked, smiling a little as he looked into her eyes, his hands sliding up along her body and playing with the cut of her bra.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 11:09
She smiled back at him. "Someone who thinks I’m beautiful and fun." she said. "That would own my list of things to do before I die a point."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 11:18
Remy laughed. "I'm sho ya can be fun an' beautiful ev'n aboard a spaceship," he informed her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 11:20
She chuckled. "In an astronaut suit?" she asked. "People look like baby elephants in those."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 11:23
"Alors, dat's fun, ain't it?" Remy grinned. He crawled around Shade, lying down next to her and unbuttoning her jeans.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 11:24
She grinned. "I don’t know, I never tried." she said.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 11:35
"Never seen a baby elephant, either?" Remy asked, unzipping her jeans and letting his hand slide inside.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 11:39
"While ago." she said trying to concentrate but not completely succeeding to do so. "Don’t remember when."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 11:49
Gambit leaned down to kiss Shade's neck and shoulder; his fingers were carefully stroking her sensitive area through the material of her panties.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 11:52
His touch was enough to awaken her need for him again and with a content smile she noticed how quickly he had caught up on how much she liked it when he played around her neck. She let her hands trail along his body, stroking his back through his shirt.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 12:08
Remy nibbled her delicate skin around her neck, listening closely to minute changes in Shade's breathing as he went. His fingers were still moving inside her pants, and he wanted to excite her a little more before he would take her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 12:12
She closed her eyes and sighed. Her hands left his back and traveled along his sides towards his stomach and up to his chest, tugging on his shirt as they went.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 12:21
With a quiet groan of slight disappointment Remy had to pull his hand out of Shade's jeans to help her get his shirt off. He felt hungry for her body and didn't want to break off even for a second.
He slid a bit lower along her body, marking his movement with a path of kisses down Shade's chest and to her stomach. His hands began pulling off her jeans.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 12:27
She lifted her lower body to help him get her out of her jeans and noted with satisfaction that since their first time together his hunger for her didn’t have to seem lessened. It gave her a strange feeling, a mix of power and devotion at the same time and she moaned silently in appreciation of what he was doing.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 12:31
Remy took off her jeans and followed them will his lips and tongue along Shade's legs as he was undressing her slowly. He thought he'd devote some time in the future to finding all of Shade's erogenous spots and making a mental map of her body for his own use.
(( how exactly does one moan silently? ))
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 12:34
She smiled, her eyes still closed, feeling she was becoming increasingly impatient, but forced herself to let him proceed at his own chosen speed.
((it’s fiction, so it works *insists* ..... Mental map? *twitches* reminds me of mental lexicons *looks at book*))
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 12:38
When Remy reached Shade's toes, he stopped and, sitting up, slid his fingers upwards along the entire length Shade's legs to get to her panties.
(( uh, that would be mind-map ))

[Gambit]

Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 12:41
She opened her eyes and watched what he was doing, feeling a pleasant shudder run along her legs where his fingers moved along.
((it’s synonymous somewhat *just read mental map in book and thus confused terms* ))
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 13:49
Remy slipped his thumbs under the waistband of the Shade's panties at the sides and pulled the panties off. He leaned down, kissing her on the tender hollow spot where her thigh joined her pelvis. He knew that place was ticklish for most women, but if the girl's level of arousal was high enough, the spot would become sensitive in a different way and respond with pleasure, not tickling.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 13:56
The sensation was unexpected and Shade instinctively arched her body into his touch with a moan that was on the verge of a chuckle as the first reaction was that of being ticklish but at the same time, her instincts kept her from pulling away. Her fingers grabbed into the surface of the carpet.

Remy spent a few seconds, kissing that spot, then moved up to Shade's stomach, and his kisses completed a full circle around it before he finally pulled away and took his remaining clothes off.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 14:09
When he pulled away she felt like a puppet on a string, not having any command over what she was doing. She got into a sitting position to be closer to him and as soon as she was done with undressing, she reached out with a hand, slung it around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 14:16
Gambit responded to her kiss, leaning a little towards her. For a moment he was caught in her desire, magnetized to her breath so much he forgot for a second what to do. In that second, he almost felt like a virgin, sitting there on the carpet naked next to Shade and simply kissing her, but that feeling quickly passed. He used one hand to pull her closer, while with his other hand he reached for his jeans and found a condom in his pocket.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 14:22
She continued to kiss him, letting her tongue twirl patterns inside his mouth, watching from the corners of her half closed eyes what he was doing.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 14:27
Remy put the condom and, again holding Shade with one arm, moved over her a little so that she would lean back. He sucked her tongue, applying some pressure into his hungry kiss.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 14:34
She didn’t object his movement and leant back, keeping her balance on one elbow, using the other hand to let her fingers trace along his chest without breaking the kiss.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 14:41
Gambit positioned himself between Shade's legs and, moving his knee under one of her legs to raise it, entered her slowly, pausing with his kiss a little to concentrate on his movement.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 14:44
She leant back her head instinctively and slowly moved her lower body a bit to meet him feeling a shudder of pleasure briefly take control of her body.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 14:47
Remy started moving, still supporting Shade with his arm under her back. He watched her attentively, enjoying the reaction of pleasure that her body and face expressed, outlined by dim orange light from the street.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 14:51
Her one hand that had rested on his chest for a moment started to trail soft lines and patterns upwards, along his collarbones, neck, ears, then down the features of his face and his jawline. Then her hand rested on his chin and she leaned in to kiss him tenderly on the lips.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 14:56
Remy caught her lips with his, locking them for a few moments in a soft kiss. The moment when her body touched his, rising upwards a little, sent a quiet wave of electricity along his skin, which subsided at the gentle movement of Shade's hand.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 15:00
She tilted her head to the side to deepen the kiss and let her tongue wrestle with his for a moment, then she started to buck her hips to slowly increase the pace.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 15:05
Remy used her movements as a guidance how to move his own body. Shade's moving body excited him more and more when he felt he was wanted and welcome. He entwined his tongue with hers, catching her mouth with his in eager love bites.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 15:08
She moaned into the kiss and unconsciously moved her hips even more while her free hand found its way back to his neck in the feeble attempt to pull him even closer.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 15:13
Remy felt that it was no use anymore to try and maintain their balance like that; he leaned down, lowering Shade on the carpet and propping himself on elbows. There was something primal and deeply erotic to take her fragile body on the floor, on that soft carpet, and that thought made him drive into her with more intensity. The floor was hard compared to a bed, and Shade's body didn't yield when he pressed himself into her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 15:17
She gasped with pleasure when he increased the speed and force of his movements. She thought that lying on her back on the floor was at the same time more and less comfortable than their previous position, but the way he pressed her against the floor only raised her arousal more.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 15:26
Remy gyrated his hips a little, breaking off the kiss and watching Shade's reaction. He was getting into a state of excited curiosity, as if he was watching a movie and couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
(( off to lunch )))
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 15:35
She was unable to make a sound and thus just gasped for another time, having the feeling that the sensation was almost too much. Her orgasm was approaching quickly but she was not quite there. Shade started to writhe defenselessly. She knew she was only seconds away from her climax but the knowledge that these seconds still had to pass felt almost like torture.
((okies))
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 15:47
Gambit felt she was close to her climax, and sped up his movements a little, helping her reach it. There was that expression on her face again, the mere-seconds-before-the-orgasm one he took to loving so much.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 15:53
It took her some effort to not close her eyes from sheer pleasure. Her breath caught in her throat as her climax rushed over her rapidly and her outcry of his name - for the first time she unconsciously called him Remy, not Gambit - almost blurred into something unrecognizable.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 16:09
Gambit gasped slightly at the feeling of her short but intense climax. He didn't stop, however - only slowed down a little while Shade's tension was ebbing. He had learned to discern all sounds that girls made during sex, and he was pretty certain Shade had called him by his given name - it wasn't something he remembered her doing ever before, and it brought even more excitement to him than the sight of her coming under him.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 16:18
He was watching her she noticed and she realized he had made a habit of doing that when she came. She didn’t mind at all, it just increased the incredible feeling of being wanted and desired and she smiled at him while her climax subsided and her breath got a little more even again.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 16:21
"Look at her," Remy teased quietly, grinning, "I think she likes it."
He sat up for a moment and put Shade's legs on his shoulders before leaning down over her again.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 16:26
She chuckled about that feeling playful but her voice sounding dark with desire made her chuckle sound more throaty than usual.
She shifted to adjust to the change in position and gave in to him completely once more.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 16:29
Remy supported himself on his arms above her and started moving up and down, pressing her down against the resistance of her leg muscles but reaching deep inside of her because of that position. He added speed to his movements, realizing it would probably be too much and too intense for her, but he wanted to make her come again.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 16:34
She cried out in a mix of despair and ecstasy. Her climax had only just ended completely and her body ached for another one already, set on torturing, needy fire by his deep movements.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 16:54
Gambit narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, enjoying the effect his movements had on her. Her body was squirming under him, as much as her restricted pose gave her freedom to do so, and he continued rocking them both steadily, grinding himself against the inside of her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 16:59
Her breath came in gasps and whimpers now and she clawed her fingers into the carpet as tightly as she could, her knuckles becoming white with her grip. Unable to keep her eyes open she pressed them shut like in a desparate attempt to let off some of the intense pleasure that was almost to much for her body and mind to bear.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 17:05
Remy pressed lower, knowing that the full weight of his body was too much for her to bear, but the way he was moving above her back and forth lessened that a little, just barely letting her know that she was in his full control and possession. He added a little spin to his hips with every move he made, wanting to hear Shade scream in pleasure.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 17:11
She couldn’t bear it and believed in this moment that the mere try to do so would cost her mind. The sensations he created within her drove her mad, her senses blurred and she only realized a moment later that she was screaming. Desperately gripping the carpet she felt another orgasm hit her, one so intense that for a second she was on the verge of passing out, a tremble taking over her entire body.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 17:23
Shade's scream nearly made Gambit come, so good it felt to hear her. He clenched his teeth and concentrated, fighting the sensation that her gripping muscles and heaving body gave him and not wishing to let go just yet. He felt as if she had just shared something intimate with him, something that she had been hiding all the time before. It gave him a sense of yet another accomplishment in this Shade puzzle.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 17:27
This time, her climax took a long moment to subside which gave her the feeling that some sort of electric current was running through her entire body making her shiver in helpless bliss. She looked at him, unable to smile or speak and instead just watched him while the trembling died down a little and was replaced by gooseflesh.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 17:49
Remy let her legs down and stroked her cheek with his hand, supporting himself with the other hand. There was so much he wanted to do with her, he didn't know where to begin. Taking a pause to think, he leaned down and kissed her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 17:52
She took a few calmer breath watching him and returned the kiss. She couldn’t give a lot into it at the moment as she was still short of breath.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 18:03
Still kissing her, Remy resumed his movements. He took Shade's hands and pinned them to the carpet above her head with his own hands; he wondered what her reaction would be, although he was pretty sure she wouldn't mind his control.

[Gambit]

Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 18:07
She didn’t break the kiss, but opened her eyes, looking at him with a half curious, half mischievous glint in her gaze. She didn’t mind whatever he was up to. She was sure he wouldn’t make bad use of his control, she trusted him on that. It reminded her of their fight in her dorm where he had been somewhat like that and she just knew that he would stop with whatever he was doing if she let him know she disapproved. But right now, she didn’t.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 18:23
Another boundary crossed, Gambit thought as he picked up speed, sliding in and out of Shade's hot wetness. She was lying so defenseless and open under him that he felt a rush of power and a wish to protect her come over him. He pressed his fingers tighter and started moving faster and faster.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 18:28
She was almost unmovable under him, her arms held over her head by him, her body pressed down against the floor by his. Still, she didn’t feel threatened and tried to meet his movements as well as she could and as much as the strength she had left allowed.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 18:39
The intensity with which Gambit was driving himself into Shade made it feel almost as if he was attacking her. A tiny thought flickered in the back of his mind, wondering if he wasn't causing her pain now, but he ignored it. She was completely his now and he wanted her so badly he wouldn't be able to ease down on her.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 18:42
He seemed totally carried away and she smiled at that, feeling desired all the more. Lifting her head a little, she sought his lips for a kiss, her own breath quickening once more.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 18:56
Gambit lowered his head, answering her kiss. For a short second, he felt tips of his fingers tingle slightly when they began to charge the carpet underneath him and Shade, but he quickly withdrew the energy, tucking his powers further back into his consciousness. That momentary distraction helped him lessen his aroused state a little and ease the feeling of climax building up, and he attacked Shade's fragile body with renewed enthusiasm.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 18:59
She felt a tingle across her body that wasn’t her own and opened her eyes to look at him but he seemed to regain control quickly. She deepened the kiss, mustering all the power she had left in her to meet his movements, knowing that it wouldn’t be long until her strengths would simply leave her. Her breath got more irregular again and she moaned into the kiss weakly.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 19:06
Remy thrust into Shade with all he had; it even made her slide a little against the carpet, in spite of the restraint he had on her body. He could feel sweat coming down along his spine and chest, and his breathing was getting a little bit harder now, but his body was trained well enough to hold on longer than that.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 19:19
Her arousal was still there but she felt she had reached a level where she could go no further. Her mind yielded for another climax but her body she knew would not admit one. She felt no pain, her excitement was still far above that level, but she felt her senses dull gravely for a moment, incapable to keep up her concentration, incapable of responding to his movements much.

She wanted to draw him closer, but her hands were bound and she knew she wouldn’t have had any strength left to hug him. She wanted to continue the kiss, but her lips were getting just as weak as the rest of her body and she felt her gaze flicker.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 19:33
Remy sensed, rather than actually felt her getting weaker. But he could do nothing for her at the moment - one part of him, his mind and consciousness, was very quiet and barely discernible now against the foreground of what his body was going through. He kept his rhythm and force, holding Shade's hands on the carpet, but was now slowly approaching his climax, letting it take over a little.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 19:36
She closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing a little which didn’t work. She mustered what little strength she had left to meet his movements weakly, writing under him, her instincts letting her revel in her feelings while her senses dulled slowly. She could hear his hasty breath, feel his movements and warmth, was conscious but barely so.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 19:48
Remy raised his head and closed his eyes, turning away in an attempt to hold himself back a little. The momentum of his drive was so strong that he couldn't slow down, but he made an honest effort to stop crushing Shade's body into the floor. His fingers took a firmer grip on her hands.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 19:54
Something in a very remote corner started to appear like a tiny red warning flashlamp and she felt dizziness spread inside her head and gasped for air. She wanted to make a sound but couldn’t and half consciously half desperate grinded her pelvis against his movements to provoke Gambit to come. She wouldn’t make it any longer now, she knew. Her senses blurred more.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 20:02
Shade wasn't doing so good, Remy noticed. Her features showed far more weakness than pleasure, but he knew that stopping him now would be something close to stopping an airplane at a lift-off - not impossible, but catastrophic.
He let go of her hands and lowered his body a little, decreasing the grinding angle between them both, and kissed Shade on the cheek next to her ear, holding her head in his hands.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 20:07
Her arms felt heavy as did the rest of her body by now but she found the strength to embrace him although it was rather a gesture of seeking strength and keeping herself from passing out than comfort. She briefly opened her eyes and found her vision blurred, her head started to spin and thus she shut her eyes again taking in a few lungfulls of breath fighting against losing her senses. She hoped he wouldn’t hold for long now, she simply knew she was no longer able of coping.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 20:11
Remy felt concern for her nag at the back of his overly distracted mind. When he finally felt he was about to come, it came as a relief for him. He dropped his head next to Shades and shut his eyes, hugging her closer and letting his climax go.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 20:14
It was as if some boundary had been passed, as if her body had received the command that it was no longer necessary to keep up moving, keep up strength. When she felt him climax, her senses took control. She didn’t have the power to fight anything and things faded to black.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 20:23
With a long moan Remy released the tension that had been building up for so long. He held onto Shade's body, heaving and feeling dizziness and shiver rush over him. It receded slowly, like a wave coming off the shore.
He turned to look at Shade, who wasn't really showing much of consciousness. He stroked her face with his fingers, breathing heavily and waiting for her to move.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 20:49
The last thing she had consciously realized was him letting his head hit the carpet next to her. When he stroked her face, she didn’t realize as she was unconscious.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:00
After a while Gambit realized Shade had passed out. He smiled, sighed and lay down next to her, propping his head on one hand. He lifted her legs, holding them over his side to sent her blood flow back to her head, and gave her a chance to handle it herself.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:08
After a moment Shade had the feeling as if there was something penetrating to a sort of thick layer of wool her senses were wrapped in. She felt disoriented for a moment, wondering why her senses felt so dull, then she forced them back to the surface. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the dim light of the traffic lamps reflect against the ceiling and felt that her legs were being held up. She rolled her head to the side and, seeing Gambit scowled slightly, blinking a few times.
"What’s up with my legs?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:15
"Jus' your legs," Remy smiled. He put Shade's legs down and leaned to kiss her on the forehead, hugging her with one hand.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:17
She leaned closer, memory dawning on her. "Gosh, did I pass out?" she asked. How embarrassing is that, Shade, a voice in her head mocked.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:21
"Yup," Remy said. "Gambit was beginnin' to worry. Ya feel okay now?"
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:24
She nodded, still feeling a little week. "I am, yeah." she said, shifting a little to have a better look at him and chuckled. "Now I feel like a jerk."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:31
Remy laughed a little. Her confusion was very cute, in spite of the context.
"No-no, chere, it's Gambit who should be feelin' like a jerk," he leaned his forehead against hers, smiling, "I was afraid I hurt ya."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:35
She returned his smile and slightly shook her head. "You didn’t" she said. "But I might have to find an excuse if any of the kids wonders tomorrow. I’m sure my bones hurt and I’ll be forced to waddle."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:40
"Pardonne-moi," Remy whispered, hiding his face in her hair and locking his fingers with hers. "Somethin' really came over me... I couldn't stop."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:43
She looked down at their hands and caressed his fingers with hers. "It’s all right" she said, smiling. "I’m fine."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:49
Remy lay still, breathing into Shade's neck. He put his arms closer around her, as if trying to protect her from all evils of the world. He wondered what was it about her that made sex with her more than just sex for him. Something that made her more than just a sexy body.
"So Shade's got school tomorrow?" he asked, suppressing all his thoughts with that neutral question.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:52
She felt protected in his arms and snuggled a little closer. Then she nodded.
"Yeah." she said. "Got to teach the lot some history."

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:53
"What time?" Remy asked, raising his head a little.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 21:56
"French Revolution, so.. late 18th century" she gave back.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 21:59
"O... kay," Remy laughed. "No, I meant what time is your class."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:00
She laughed. "Oh." she said chuckling. "Ten."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:04
Remy leaned to kiss Shade's temple as he calculated his plans in his mind.
"I can give ya a ride back in de mornin'," he said finally.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:07
She smiled and closed her eyes. "Sounds good." she said. She hadn’t planned to stay through the night originally but then again Gambit was right anyways about her planning too much. Certainly no one would miss her that quickly and if they did it would most likely be Rogue to knock on her door and add two and two when she found her gone.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:13
"Good," Remy echoed. He sat up. "Can ya walk to de shower, or I carry ya?"
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:17
She found his concern for to be deeply touching and inwardly smiled, feeling utterly content and secure. She sat up and found the dizziness had faded. "I think I can walk." she said looking at him.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:23
"Damn," Remy laughed. "Okay, walk, den." He stood up and headed for the shower, where he turned the lights on and left the door open for her to see the way.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:26
She laughed at that, then got up and followed him.
When entering the bathroom she had to blink a few times to get used to the light.
"Knew you’d say that." she pretended.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:31
"Of course ya did," Remy said, turning the water on, "out of ten things Gambit say, nine would include his wish to jus' grab Shade an' have sex wit' her."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:33
She chuckled. "I feel honored" she said, feigning seriousness. Then she stepped closer and into the shower. "And what’d be the other thing out of the ten?"
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:35
"Dat would definitely be somethin' about stealin' somethin'," Remy replied, donning the same mask of seriousness as hers.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:39
She smirked at that and leaned back her head to let the warm water run through her hair. "I might have guessed" she said. "Careful Gambit. Don’t get predictable." she added in a playfully warning tone."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 22:47
Remy recognized she had transformed his own warning given to her a few days ago. It sounded a little as if she was mocking him. Of course, that could be attributed to the fact she was trying to tease, but something told him there was more to it - she wouldn't have remembered his words so precisely, had they not touched her emotions. He asked himself once again whether it was possible that he had hurt her with that warning.
"You're just gettin' used to me, is all," he said, leaning against the wall.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 22:52
She pushed her hands through her hair and blinked to get the water out of her eyes to look at him leaning against the wall. Only then she noticed she had used his phrase, just with different words. Again this was one of the moments where she wished she could have read his mind to see what he was thinking.
"So a few more days around you and I can read you like an open book." she said with a small smile. "Is that how it usually happens with people who get used to your company or do I just have a good knowledge of human nature?"
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:00
"It's unique in each case," Remy replied. "Don' expect me to lay out any statistics before ya, cheri."
He didn't get into the shower yet; he just stood there next to it, watching Shade.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:04
"Statistics are boring" Shade said with a sigh, starting to wash. "Individual cases are far more interesting. So is it my internal guesswork of how people think then?"
A voice in her head told her in an annoyed tone that she should better shut up instead of keep on nagging. Damn curiosity.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:17
"As usual, cheri," Remy said. "Would be no fun if ya had a blueprint t' follow, non?"
He got his toothbrush and started brushing his teeth.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:18
"Nope" she said and continued washing. "Guessing is a lot more fun."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:21
"'ow wuch have ya wuessed s' far?" Remy mumbled innocently, getting his toothbrush out for a second.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:26
She smiled a little, he looked funny trying to speak through the tooth paste.
"Guessed." she said. "well, for one thing that there is more behind the outwards thief and ladykiller." She placed the soap back and grabbed for the shampoo. "That there’s a much more... complex Gambit behind the facade he tries to keep up with so much effort."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:33
Remy wondered if she was aware of the fact that she gave a zero answer to his question - or maybe it was intentional? He washed his mouth first and then replied, "Whew, Gambit was afraid Shade'd take 'im for a flat playin' card."
He joined her in the shower.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:34
She shook her head and stepped aside a little to make room for him.
"Speaking of playing cards." she said referring to the one he had left in her room. "That was a rather cute thing to do."
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:44
"Nothin' cute 'bout it," Remy shook his head, "jus' unusual for ya, mebbe. I use cards a lot, 'specially when I don' wanna flash my handwritin' everywhere, so dey go as notes, too."
He let his fingers run along Shade's side.
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:47
She had the feeling there was again more to his words and she was about to ask him if he usually gave out two of hearts as notes, but didn’t. She smiled to herself as she guessed his answer would have been merely a shrug and possible a ?A two of hearts is as good as any card in a deck, chere?.
"I still liked it." she therefore altered her response.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:50
"Bon," Remy smiled, "but jus' so ya know, if I have t' choose 'tween a card an' a word t' say, I choose de latter."
Posted by Shade on May 1, 2007, 23:53
"That’s good to know" she agreed. "Because I’m really not good at reading images and all that." She reached for the soap and used it to wash Gambit’s chest.
Posted by Gambit on May 1, 2007, 23:59
"So don' addle yer head about it," Remy said, making it sound as if it was the easiest thing to do, even though he could very well imagine how much time she spent trying to guess the hidden message behind that card.
He pulled her closer, letting his palms rest at the small of her back.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 0:02
"To use your kind of language" she said with a grin. "I chose not to say the truth and say ?you know me, I never think too much.?" She returned his embrace.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 0:12
"What kind of language is dat, cheri?!" Remy exclaimed, pretending to be shocked.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 0:14
"The language many people would see as just plain English." she said. "But when you look closer, Gambit’s language is the art of" she loosened the embrace and used her arms to demonstrate as if she was advertising something "twisting sentences and beating about the bush to confuse whoever one communicates with" She flashed him a grin.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 0:21
"Shade must be havin' so much fun," Remy grinned wide. She was so lively, like a little flame, as if it hadn't been her passed out on his carpet fifteen minutes ago. He wondered if that meant she could go for another few rounds of sex that night, but then decided against it - his attack on her body most probably left her sore inside, so he'd give her some time to restore.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 0:24
She grinned at him. "I am." she said. "It was confusing at first but once one gets the knack of how to make sense of what you say it’s loads of fun."
((he’s just unknowingly owned himself a virtual cookie for logical concluding with that string of thought ))
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 0:27
Remy quirked a brow at her without ceasing to grin. "Not sho I'm ready t' take it as a compliment."

"And I’m not sure if I intended it as a compliment" she gave back with a smirk.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 0:33
"Right, 'cause Gambit probably don' deserve one, anyway," Remy nodded gravely, getting out of the shower. He took a towel and wiped his face.

[Gambit]

Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 0:37
She followed him out of the shower and ruffled his hair on her way to grab a towel. “Oh dear.” She said in a voice she would usually reserve for a conversation with a 5 year old. “Feeling bad about something so you think you don’t even deserve a tiny compliment now and then?”
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 1:02
"Non," Remy grinned, enjoying the feel of her hands touching him. "Jus' playin' all miserable t' getcha sleep wit' me."
He got another towel and wrapped it around Shade's shoulders, drying her back.
(( I'm off to sleep Nighty-night ))
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 1:07
"How touching" she said raising her eyebrows at him, stifling a chuckle. "Would even work if I didn’t feel so...." she paused, looked around the room and waved her hand as if she was trying to retrieve the correct word "?... so... I’d say f*ucked and that’s probably be so true but that’s be bad language and all." She wrinkled her nose in mock disgust.
((I’ll be off soon too. Sleep well ))
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 8:56
"Eh bien," Remy sighed, "I'll take a rain check, den."
He opened the cabinet, getting a spare toothbrush for her.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 11:35
She took the tooth brush and smiled inwardly.
"A rain check?" she wondered, grabbing for the tooth paste.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 11:45
"Yeah," Remy shrugged, drying his legs with the towel. Shade looked slightly confused. "What?"
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 11:47
She thought a moment, then her brain connected the words. "Never mind" she said. "For a moment I thought it had something to do with rain"
((does a search for "to take a rain check".... Aaah ))
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 11:53
"I'll remind myself next time not to mention rain in de shower," Remy said, hugging Shade from behind and giving her a brief kiss on the neck. Then he left the shower and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 11:57
Shade brushed her teeth, then rinsed the brush and placed it back on the sink before she finished to dry herself and tied the towel around her hips, not because she would have suddenly felt uncomfortable to be around him naked, but because she knew she would start to shiver once she would have left the warm steam of the shower.
Then she left the room and found him in the kitchen, drinking water.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 12:03
"I can make some tea, if ya want," Remy said, noticing her come in.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 12:04
She nodded and ruffled her hair. "Tea sounds like good idea." she said.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 12:05
"Green, black, white, anything else?" Remy smiled, opening the cupboard as he put on his barman appearance.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 12:07
She smiled, noticing his barman behavior leaking through. "Black" she said. "With sugar if you have."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 12:20
Remy picked a small pack of tea and put a pinch of it into the teapot. While the water was boiling, he picked Shade up and sat her atop the kitchen counter, spreading her legs apart and snuggling between them to put his arms around her.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 12:26
The towel around her hips loosened a little but Shade didn’t care. She returned his embrace and snuggled closer to him to rest her chin on his shoulder. It was a good feeling to see that he was constantly seeking to have her close and she smiled, feeling a little tired but good.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 12:35
Remy ran his palm along Shade's back. He wanted to touch her again. Probably it was a thief thing - the best things were the ones that could be touched. He was very materialistic in that respect. It was also one of the reasons why he was working the bar at his own club - he wanted to be inside of things, to touch the life of the Hellfire Club with his own hands. He bit Shade's ear gently, pulling at her earlobe.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 12:45
His tender tug on her earlobe and the soft feel of his hands on her back had an effect on her she found no better word for than soothing. His touch was a total contrast to his rough and basic lovemaking from before and she felt a wave of emotions pass over her for a moment, a wave full of tenderness, the feeling of being utterly safe with him. She shifted her head slightly to let him nibble her ear lobe and closed her eyes, half from feeling comfortable half from the fact that his protective touch let her realize how exhausted she felt.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 12:54
Gambit felt her completely relax in his arms. A cup of tea, and she'll be sleeping dead in a second, he thought with a smile. He still hadn't decided whether he wanted to spend the night here with her or simply leave her sleeping and go to the club until morning.
He nibbled on her ear some more and then lowered his mouth to the tender spot on her neck just below her ear.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:01
What he was doing had an almost hypnotizing effect. A part of her that was feeling very sleepy at present, responded and leaned in to him, while another part and a much more dominant one associated his tender caress with something soothing and calming so she had to fight back drowsiness in order not to be lulled to sleep by his tender nibbling that second.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:04
Gambit realized she was nearly falling asleep, so he let her go in a few seconds when the water was ready. He made tea and gave her a cup into which he already put one spoon of sugar.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:10
She blinked away the drowsiness when he let go and stretched slightly feeling very much like a lazy cat on a sunny patch on a patio. "Thanks" she said smiling at him when she took the cup and held it between her hands for a moment waiting for the tea to cool down a little before she drank.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:14
Remy got another cut of tea for himself and, leaning with his elbow on the kitchen counter next to Shade, drank from his cup, gazing at her.
"How come ya don' use your real name?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:18
She looked at him, twirling the cup in her hands. It was an interesting question. Similar to what Rogue had asked her, but less direct in a way.
"I think I’ve gotten used to ‘shade?." she said. "It started off as a nickname my brother used for me. No one at home called me Shade except him, but..." she shrugged shaking her head slightly. "I dunno... when I came here it had stuck."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:25
"Yeah," Remy nodded, pondering over what she said, "dat happen a lot."
He took a gulp from his cup.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:26
"It does?" she asked. "How did you get the idea of Gambit?"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:36
"I didn'," Remy said. He ruffled his hair, unsure how to put it. "I was in a gang of hustlin' boys. Dere was dis man who kinda managed de whole t'ing, an' he gave nicknames to each one of us. I was good wit' cards an' gamblin', so de boss came up wit' Gambit for me. Don' think he knew anythin' about chess at all."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:40
She listened her head slightly tilted to the side, smiling a little when she tried to imagine the boy Gambit. "I think it fits somehow." she said. "and that although or maybe just because I have no idea about chess either."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:46
"Alors," Gambit smiled, "been a long time since den... so now de chess thing fits as well." He winked at Shade, deciding not to get too lengthy about his explanations.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 13:50
"That’s a strange thing about those nicknames" she mused. "Sometimes we get so used to them we see they match what we are even better than our real names."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 13:54
"Il y a logique," Remy said, "we get out names when we're jus' born. Den we get or choose nicknames when we really start meanin' somethin'."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 14:00
Shade nodded. "Like an Indian tribe thing somehow isn’t it? Where names chosen or given later describe personalities or habits. Like in... Dances with Wolves." She chuckled. "Geez, these are the moments when I’m glad that’s not where I grew up. My name would have been so odd."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 14:07
"Technically, it be odd now, too," Gambit remarked, "ya jus' don' notice it anymore."
He reached out with his hand to stroke Shade's knee and thigh.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 14:12
"Probably." she agreed before drinking from her tea.
When he touched her leg, she reached out to touch his hair.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 14:16
Remy closed his eyes, succumbing to the touch of her hand. He moved a little closer to her and let his hand run on the inside of her thigh.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 14:19
She leaned a little closer, too and let her fingertips run along his head while she watched him with a smile.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 14:35
Remy leaned to kiss Shade's shoulder. His hand went up her body, stopping to fondle one of Shade's breasts. Her skin smelled of shower gel mixed with her own scent; Gambit breathed that mixture in, trying to tell the scents apart.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 14:56
She was still holding the cup in one hand but now she extended her hand to place it on the counter next to her and slung both her arms around his neck, pulling him a little closer again.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 15:05
Without saying anything, Remy put his cup aside as well, picked Shade up off the counter and carried her towards the bedroom.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 15:08
She kept her arms around his neck as he carried her and closed her eyes, breathing slowly. She couldn’t think of a better place to be at the moment. "Thanks." she mumbled "...so tired..." her voice trailed off.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 15:23
"I can see dat," Remy smiled. He lowered her down on the bed and, taking her towel off, lay down next to her and covered her with blanket. He wasn't sleepy, his day had just begun a few hours ago; besides that, he wanted to look at Shade. She seemed so cute, sleepy and tired.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 15:29
She had to fight the urge not to immediately close her eyes and fall asleep when he put her down on the bed. Blinking tiredly, she mustered a smile. "Now look who’s watching." she said.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 15:34
Remy grinned. "How does it feel?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 15:36
"Feels good." she said honestly, reaching out with a hand to let her fingers run along his jaw.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 15:40
"Good," Remy smiled. He leaned in and kissed Shade, letting his tongue inside her mouth.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 15:42
She felt drop dead tired but still felt her senses and body responded to him and she accepted the kiss, answering it.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 15:47
Remy's tongue touched the upper side of Shade's mouth, stroking it slowly but confidently. His lips were just as demanding, and his breath already went faster.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 15:51
She noticed his breath quickening and slowed the kiss down a little. She just knew that if she continued, she would get carried away again, as would he and she also knew she was already just a short bit away from falling asleep. She continued to kiss him for a moment, then carefully broke the kiss and leaned her forehead against his.
"I’m sorry." she said in a low voice, slightly breathless. "but I guess I’ll...just fall asleep halfway."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 16:06
Remy smiled, seeing her give up like this. He glanced at his alarm clock; perhaps it would be better to spend the night at the club than lie here with sleeping Shade without himself being able to sleep and instead wanting her all night long. It would do no good to either of them.
"Don't worry," he told her, "jus' sleep. I'll wake y'up in de mornin'."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 17:20
She nodded and returned his smile. Then she kissed him on the mouth another time and snuggled closer. Seconds later, she was vast asleep.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 17:33
Gambit spent some minutes lying there next to Shade. The vision of her face made him rewind the events of the evening in his mind - his ride to Westchester to get her, their little Laserzone duel, the Chinese dinner, sex and shower. He didn't remember himself dedicating that much of his time to a girl in the past years. He wondered if that meant he was getting involved with Shade now.
After a while, when he was sure she was sound asleep, he got up and got dressed. He checked his e-mail before leaving and found a note from the intermediary. It seemed Gambit finally received a new 'commission'. He smirked to himself and left the apartment.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:24
Gambit returned after six; glancing at Shade dreaming through her best part of the morning sleep, he decided it was too early to wake her up. He grabbed some of yesterday's Chinese food and sat down on the carpet with his laptop.
The job was worth six hundred thousands, but Remy was feeling generous and decided not to scare the client and lower it down to five hundred thousands. That way it looked nice, too. One mafia boss wanted to get an old Iranian dagger from another mafia boss. Gambit wouldn't be in the least surprised if in two weeks' time after his visit, the other boss would seek Gambit's services to return the thing. For another five hundred thousands.
He exchanged some e-mails with the intermediary, agreeing to meet and discuss, then browsed for some information on both bosses, and when it was eight o'clock, decided to make some coffee to wake Shade up with.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 18:28
She had been sleeping like dead through the whole night, not waking up once. When Gambit had returned she had still been sleeping and only when the smell of coffee started to fill the rooms, she began to stir in her sleep.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:31
Remy got a cup of coffee and went to the bedroom. Kneeling down by the bed, he blew over the cup, directing the smell of coffee into Shade's nose.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 18:33
She drifted back into consciousness and opened her eyes. Gambit’s face was close to her and he was holding something. "Coffee?" she asked, smiling sleepily. "I could get used to being woken up like that."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:36
"Alors, unless ya take it black an' no sugar, dat one's mine," Remy grinned. "An' I would need some directions regardin' yours."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 18:38
"A decoy." She grinned and sat up. "Can’t do wrong much as long as you put sugar in it."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:47
"Sugar, sugar..." Remy teased, standing up. "Dere's dis theory in psychology, chere," he continued saying as he headed for the kitchen, "dat people eat more sweets when dey need t' compensate f' lack of love."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 18:49
"That theory sucks" she said. "If it were true I’d have been an unloved and abandoned orphan counting in all the sweets I ate in my life.... would have meant I had a lot to compensate."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:52
"Which reminds us of your ice-cream attack," Remy didn't yield. He added sugar to Shade's cup and returned to the bedroom, sitting down on the bed next to her.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 18:56
She took the cup. “Ice cream attack?” she asked, feeling slightly confused.
((back in 15 mins...))
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 18:58
"One wit' Rogue in de park," Remy explained, drinking his coffee.
(( I'm making dinner anyway ))
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 19:06
"Oh that." she said with a shrug. "But again that doesn’t fit with that theory. Ice cream is a necessity."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 19:14
"As in 'Shade's an ice-cream junkie'?" Remy wondered.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 19:15
She nodded. "Exactly. Shade’s an ice cream junkie."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 19:26
"You're lyin'," Remy grinned, "never seen ya even look at ice-cream, dat means you're still far from total dependency."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 19:32
She chuckled. "Why should I be lying about that?" she said. "Ask Rogue. And besides the fact you didn’t see me look at ice cream yet might have to do with me not really.... coming around to look at ice cream when I’m with you."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:04
"Dat sound like a pretty bad case to me," Gambit said seriously.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 20:05
She took a sip of her coffee. "Bad case of what?"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:09
"Of Shade not bein' able t' get her eyes off Gambit," Remy explained patiently.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 20:13
She bit back a smile and matched her serious tone with his. "And there I thought it was rather Gambit unable to keep... off Shade."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:17
"Dat's my body speakin'," Remy said. "My mind is clear, an' I'm able to concentrate on whatever I want. Ice-cream or whatever."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 20:20
"Whoever said I’m not able to concentrate on ice-cream?" Shade said with a grin. "You just wouldn’t know."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:27
"I know when I see a junkie concentratin' on junk," Remy winked. "Don' worry - we'll getcha some ice-cream eventually an' see how it turn out."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 20:33
She smiled at him and shook her head. "I’m sure you have some strange theory behind this, if you don’t believe the junky story, right?" She nipped on her cup. "Care to share?"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:43
"I already did," Remy said, finishing with his coffee. "Got nothin' else to add, cheri."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 20:46
"All right" she said with a nod. He had an eye for details, she didn’t notice that for the first time. For a moment she had thought he had connected her bad mood of a while back with her feeling miserable because of her feelings for Erik then. But then again, he might have noticed it and simply preferred not to tell.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 20:59
"So," Remy said, standing up, "your plans for de next hour?"
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 21:16
She looked at the alarm clock. It was half past 8. "Nothing for the next hour, but I need to be at school by 10"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 21:21
"No shower, breakfast, stuff like dat?" Remy suggested tentatively, making vague gestures with his hands.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 21:22
She punched his arm. "Have mercy with me, I’m usually a little slow in the morning." she said with a chuckle. "Breakfast sounds good."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 21:29
"You wanna finish de Chinese stuff, or shall we go someplace?" Remy asked. He hated asking for directions so much, but there was hope he would learn her habits gradually.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 21:31
"I never tried cold Chinese stuff and right now something like a roll with honey or scrambled eggs or something sounds better, so... go somewhere." she decided.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 21:44
Remy dragged the blanket off her, tossing it aside. "Let's go, den, woman!" he said, feigning aggravation.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 21:50
She squealed when he dragged the blanket away. "Woman has to get dressed first." she said jokingly matching his tone. She jumped up and shortly flinched, trying not to show that her bones were hurting a little.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 21:53
"Okay, okay," Remy waved his hand and stepped aside, letting her pass.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 21:57
She walked past and laughed, tossing him a glance over her shoulder. Walking over into the living room, she collected her discarded clothes and dressed.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 21:59
Remy leaned against the doorframe, pretending to be trying not to watch her get dressed.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:01
She caught his look from the corner of her eyes. "You’re hopeless." she said with a grin.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:03
"Au contraire, cheri," Remy objected, "I'm full of hopes."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:04
"So?" she asked, pulling up the zipper of her jeans. "What kinds of hopes?"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:09
"Mostly of carnal nature, chere," Remy grinned.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:10
She pulled on her shirt and shook her head at him in feigned resignation. "You know, sometimes I wonder why I even bother to ask."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:17
"Don't," Remy said without losing his smugness, "Gambit's an open book, remember?"
He went to put his shoes on.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:19
"You’re making fun of me" she stated with a chuckle, then walked over to put on her shoes as well.
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:28
"Don't even have to," Remy replied, "you're fun already without Remy's help."
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:29
She pulled on the second shoe, hopping around to keep balance. "I’m not sure, was that a compliment or an insult?"
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:33
"If you really-really want to be insulted, I can't keep ya from doin' so," Remy said. "But it was a compliment. In a way."
He opened the door and entered the alarm code on the panel.
Posted by Shade on May 2, 2007, 22:35
Done with her shoes she straightened up. "Nah." she said. "I’m not one for insults."
Posted by Gambit on May 2, 2007, 22:42
"Wonderful," Gambit nodded. "Let's go b'fore Shade's stomach eat itself," he let her walk out of the door.
(( I'm off, I'll start the breakfast thread tomorrow.
Move to: New York City :: Breakfast in the City ))

****************************************
(( Move from: Special Locations :: Gambit and Shade's Vacation ))
Leaving their luggage at the door, Remy switched the AC on and went to the shower to at least refresh his face after the flight.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 14:36
Entering the apartment, Shade dropped her luggage and number of extra bags she had needed to transport all the things she had bought and which had not fit into her suitcase. The weather was quite a change. It was rather warm outside, but it was so different from the heat of Tunisia that Shade felt a little dizzy. "You’ve got some water in the kitchen?" she asked, poking her head into the bathroom. Her mouth felt dry.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 14:40
"I had five days ago," Remy replied, splashing some water into his face. "Not sure 'bout now."
(( as far as I know, tap water in NYC is drinkable ))
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 14:46
"I’ll go have a look" Shade said and turned to walk over into the kitchen. Not finding water immediately she simply looked for a glass and filled it at the kitchen tap, then took a few long gulps leaning against the counter. Immediately she felt her head clear a little again.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 15:06
Remy entered the kitchen and got himself a glass of water as well. Drinking from it, he opened the fridge. "Quelle jolie," he chuckled, "not as many corpses as one would expect." He started taking stuff out of the fridge and placing in on the kitchen counter.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 15:09
Shade took another sip of her glass of water and watched him take out the food. "Just so what my fridge would look like when I had a place of my own and been away for some days." she said.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 15:21
"So... what?" Remy grinned at her over his shoulder. Studying his loot and spotting some feta cheese and olives, he decided to go for Greek salad. He began by washing tomatoes.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 15:26
Shade shook her head and jumped to sit on the counter, letting her legs dangle. "There’s no what." she said. "I was just reminded that I was just rather good at forgetting about things such as milk when I drove home over the summer."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 15:34
Remy smiled as he began to cut the tomatoes. "Where was it you drove home from?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 15:37
"From university." Shade said. "It wasn’t really that far to go till home, an hour by car maybe, so I could’ve stayed at home and taken the car to my classes, but I kind of wanted my own place."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 15:42
"What was it like?" Remy asked. "Your place, I mean."
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 15:45
Shade smiled at the memory. She had loved that place, the first place of her own. "It was cool." she said. "Not huge, but nice. Kitchen, bath, two rooms. It was on the base level." Yes, that it was, Shade thought, chasing away a brief thought of bitterness. Windows were so easy to smash on a base level apartment. "I liked it a lot."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 15:55
"Didja furnish it up to your liking?" Remy asked, noticing a smile on her face. Probably it was a safe subject to discuss. Then he wondered what happened to him that he was dividing conversation subjects into safe and unsafe. It wasn't a good tendency.
He finished with tomatoes and scooped them off into a salad bowl. Then he got scissors and opened the cheese package.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 17:01
Shade nodded. "The furnishing was kind of... creative, but I liked it." she said. She watched him prepare the food and as usual when others did all the working, got a little edgy about it. She should at least offer some help preparing. "Do you need a hand?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 17:07
Remy studied her with a small scowl, as if evaluating her abilities for what he had in mind. Finally he offered her a can of olives and a knife. "You can cut olives into halves, if ya want."
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 17:10
"All right." Shade said, hopped off the counter and took the can and knife from him. Standing next to him she started to cut the olives and snatched a piece of cheese from the heap he had piled already.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 17:17
"Dieu," Remy chuckled, "Shade's learnin' to steal." He cut the cheese into small cubes.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 17:19
Shade grinned, chewing on the cheese. "Shade’s hungry." She shot him a glance and nicked a piece of tomato.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 20:31
"Yep, dat's how you become a thief," Remy agreed. "First ya get hungry." He glanced at her with a mischievous spark in his eyes, adding the cheese cubes to the bowl and getting lettuce.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 20:35
The slight glimmer in his eyes made her guess that his words had been rather ambiguous and she smirked. "I see." she said, finished the olives and reached over to put them into the bowl as well. "Well, has to be your bad influence on me."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 20:39
'Yesss!" Remy grinned, making a victorious gesture.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 20:40
Shade snickered and poked his shoulder lightly. "Yeah, feel accomplished. You made Shade steal a piece of cheese."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 20:42
"A small step for me, a giant leap for Shade," Remy replied. Lettuce followed the olives in the bowl, and he started with red onions.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 20:46
Shade rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, be careful. If you don’t take care I’ll be serious competition pretty soon." she joked.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 20:53
"Mon dieu, quelle horreur, gotta quickly copyright all my moves..." Remy displayed panic on his face.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 20:55
Shade flashed him a grin. "What about those moves I already caught up on?" she asked. "Too late to copyright those."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 21:02
"I'll get by without dem," Remy chuckled. He split onion circles over the bowl, then mixed the salad. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar followed the rest of the ingredients. "Ready," he said.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 21:04
Shade looked into the bowl. "Looks yummy." she commented.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 21:08
"Let's hope it is, den," Remy said. "Whatcha gonna drink?"
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 21:14
Shade stepped back from the counter. "Whatever you have." she said. "Soda, water, as long it’s without alcohol. That would kill me now."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 21:16
Remy found a bottle of mineral carbonized water in the fridge and offered it to Shade. "Gotta stock up on non-alcohol stuff," he mused, eyeing the insides of his fridge.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 21:20
Shade took the bottle from him and poured herself some water. "You might." she agreed. "Anyways, I’ll have to drop in at your club some time soon. Didn’t even really start on testing all the cocktails you have there. I was considering to but someone suggested going out for a pizza."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 21:31
"Didja go out wit' him?" Remy asked with half a smirk. He got the salad, two plates and two forks and headed to the room.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 21:39
"Yeah, I did." she replied with a grin. Geez, that bloke was a lech."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 21:55
Gambit clicked with his tongue. "Damn, some guys always get de best girls..."
He sat down on the carpet, tilting his head to each shoulder a few times to stretch the neck. Some serious workout on well-equipped training grounds would be great, he thought.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 22:01
Shade sat down opposit of him and crossed her legs. "So I’m one of the ?best girls??" she teased. "I feel flattered."
((*snickers* Nice ava))
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 22:07
"What, ya didn't know it before?" Remy wondered, like it was a matter of fact. He put some salad on a plate and passed it to Shade.
(( thanks I had several rather desperate phrases to choose from. ))
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 22:17
She took the plate from him and grabbed for a fork. "Course I did." she said, using the same tone. "I’m just to modest to spread it, you know."
((which ones? ))
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 22:25
"I'm havin' doubts about your modesty, chere," Remy winked, helping himself to some salad as well.
(( *shrugs* you know, things like "Dieu, non...", "No-no-no!", "Uh oh..." and "No way." ))
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 22:27
"Oh damn." Shade exclaimed. "And there I thought I covered it up so well. I’m so predictable..."

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 22:31
"Dat got nothin' to do wit' predictability," Remy said. "Dat's just... ya know, Gambit seen enough proofs to say dat your claim of modesty is far from de truth." He shrugged. "Old habits die hard, eh?"
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 22:32
She raised her eyebrows at him. "Old habits?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 22:41
"A habit of seein' yourself as a modest girl, in dis case," Remy explained.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 22:44
Shade shrugged, piercing a piece of cheese with her fork. "Ah, okay." she said grinning. "The modest are easy preys anyways."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 22:56
"But way more fun to explore," Remy grinned.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 23:00
"Well, you should know of course." Shade said, giving him a mischievous glance.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 23:04
"Bien sure," Remy smirked, "I would know since I'm datin' Shade."
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 23:07
Shade flashed him a grin. "Good to know I can add something new to your repertoire of fun things." she said.
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 23:21
Remy replied with a smile, drinking from his glass.
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 23:25
Shade stretched her legs and wriggled her toes a little while she continued to eat. Her ankle barely hurt and was by now feeling normal enough to not make her limp. Whatever that guy had sold to Gambit, it had definitely helped.
"I’m so glad I don’t have early classes tomorrow." she said with a sigh. "I’ll probably sleep till noon or something."
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 23:35
"Yeah, most probably you'll sleep through lunch as well," Remy said. He thought for a moment. Wasn't it time to start being less secretive?
"I'm leavin' tomorrow for a few days," he said, "just so if you want to visit de Club, you know I'm not dere."
Posted by Shade on May 31, 2007, 23:37
Shade nodded. "Probably." she agreed.
When he mentioned his absence, she looked up. She would leave it to him if he wanted to tell her more or not. "Okay." she said. "you’ll call me when you’re back?"
Posted by Gambit on May 31, 2007, 23:42
Remy was just as much out of habit of telling things about himself as he was of calling girls. Hadn't needed any phone calls after those one-night stands that had been before Shade.
"I will," he said, coming to yet another decision about this whole thing.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 0:02
She gave him a smile, suddenly realizing that he had never called her before. He had sent her text messages but these had been nothing personal really, just information about the flights.
"Good." she said, then continued eating.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 10:08
Remy glanced at her, not knowing what else to say. All of a sudden he found himself devoid of all ideas for a conversation, but sitting in silence would seem kinda awkward. He felt lost. Looking at Shade and searching for a possible thing to start from, he realized they had nothing in common - no common ground, no uniting interest to hold on to. There still was that fresh interest of finding out things about each other, but nothing had been found so far that could really make them want to stick to each other.
It was a weird discovery.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 10:21
Shade returned his glance. He had been somewhat back to his normal self all day, but she couldn’t help the impression that he was acting somewhat strange around her - different. She figured it might be best to get back to the mansion soon. Not because she didn’t want to be with him, but because even without being an empath or telepath she could almost feel his inner tension. He needed to sort out some things, she thought.
"Gambit, you sure you’re okay?" she asked sounding a little concerned.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 10:30
"What made you ask dat?" Remy raised a brow at her. He must have been really lost in his thoughts if she noticed that.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 10:32
A counter question, she noticed. Gambit’s usual and most frequently used way to express things he preferred not to give a straight forward answer to. "Don’t know." she said. "You seemed kind of lost in thought."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 10:34
"Yeah," Remy said. "I had a revelation."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 10:38
The fact alone that he admitted she was right, was unusual for him. Shade placed her plate aside. "You wanna talk about it?" she asked.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 10:41
Remy looked in the direction of the window, pondering. "Maybe some other time," he said finally. "Don' wanna end up wit' a bowl of salad on my head."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 10:45
He was trying to make a pun of it in a way, but Shade felt there was some serious thinking going on behind this. She also guessed that there was a lot of turmoil going on in Gambit’s head right now and had ever since some point the day before. She nodded.
"Okay." she said. "Some other time then."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 10:54
Remy smiled at her. She sounded as understanding as a Reverend Mother, and that was a bit too much, as if she was afraid to say something wrong. "Dieu, Shade," he chuckled, "don' treat Gambit like a paper rose. If you got somethin' to say, say it, I ain't gonna fall apart."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 10:58
Shade was actually feeling relief that he was smiling at her and using French phrases, something he would not do too frequently when he was in a mood of serious, awkward discussing.
She grinned at him. "I don’t have anything to say right now. Nothing that would threaten to make Gambit fall apart, anyways." she said. "I just thought for a moment that we had kind of swapped roles with you doing more thinking than I. That seemed so unusual."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 11:05
"I do some thinkin' sometimes, oui," Remy agreed, grinning. "Don' worry. I'll share it wit' ya eventually, I guess. Jus' need to fix it in my head somehow. It's complicated."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 11:10
Interesting, Shade thought. Looked like her guess work had been rather close to the truth. She gave him a smile and nodded slightly. "You do that." she said, shifted on the carpet and lay flat on her stomach before she took the fork again and picked for the last bits of tomato left on her plate.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 11:15
"How many days I got left b'fore your patience loses to your curiosity?" Remy winked, putting his plate aside.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 11:17
Shade looked at him and chuckled. "My patience is rather extendable." she said. "but so is my curiosity. So I’d say... some, but not for too long."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 11:27
"As in 'anything from five seconds to fifty years'," Remy nodded in understanding.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 11:29
"That would be slightly exaggerated." Shade grinned. "the five seconds is more probable than the fifty years." She placed her plate aside and rolled over onto her back, propping on her elbows. "But my curiosity will allow you some time to ?fix things in your head.?"
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 11:41
Remy mirrored her pose, lying down on his back. "Will it wait until everythin's completely fixed?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 11:44
Shade smiled a little. "Hard to tell." she said. "because it would make it hard to tell for my curiosity when there was a point when things were ?completely fixed?. Or maybe I’ll just know."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 11:54
Gambit looked ahead of him at the window. Once again he had nothing to say, anything that came to mind was either stupidly irrelevant or uncomfortably frank.
"Does your 'just know' include a situation when someone makes it known to you?" he asked out of mere wish to play with words.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 11:57
Shade nodded slowly. "Yes." she said. "But it doesn’t have to be a situation like that. Sometimes words aren’t necessary to know what another person thinks." He would know, she thought. She had noticed by now that he was rather good at noticing details about body language.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:01
"Like when I jump at you an' start pullin' your clothes off?" Remy winked.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:03
Shade laughed. "I used to think when that happens there’s not much conscious thinking going on." she said, rolling over onto her side. "at least not in your brain."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:06
"So by definition it should be easy to guess what I'm thinkin'," Remy grinned, "an' since it's somethin' I'm thinkin' of most of the time, I guess I shoubbe pretty easy to read... non?"

[Gambit]

Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:08
Shade raised an eyebrow at him. "No." she said, smirking. "You’re incredibly hard to read actually. Well...not all the time though but sometimes you make me want to be a telepath. But then again, this would take away a lot of the fun of guessing, wouldn’t it?" She crawled over to him on all fours and gave him a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:16
Her mention of telepaths brought an unpleasant memory of his break-up with Jean Grey. She had also found him incredibly hard to read. But, unlike Shade, she had been a telepath. And her curiosity had eventually taken over, faced with too much of his secretiveness. A hint of a frown appeared on his face, but he quickly forced it back.
He turned his head and stole a quick kiss off Shade's lips. "Are you in it for fun, den?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:30
Shade watched him for a moment, trying to find whether this question was meant in a provoking way but decided it wasn’t. She didn’t feel like being provoked anyways right now.
"I would be lying if I didn’t say it’s lots of fun actually." she said. "and it definitely started like that. But doing things just for the fun of it means not giving it too much thought. And that wouldn’t be Shade really, wouldn’t it?"
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:36
"So de real Shade begins where de fun ends?" Remy tried to rephrase her, hoping to see some other meaning of what she was saying.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:44
She thought about that for a moment, scowling a little. "That sounds weird." she said. "Let’s rather say... once things move beyond just being fun for Shade that’s were you begin to see who Shade really is."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:45
"Because de real Shade is Shade who thinks?" Remy smiled a bit.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:47
Shade smiled back. "Yeah." she said. "Real Shade is Shade who thinks." And also Shade who can not keep up a relationship without feelings being involved, she knew. Had she not developed feelings for Gambit, she would have stopped seeing him already.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:51
Remy studied her face for a moment. "So when did de real Shade begin for Gambit?" he asked.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 12:54
Shade actually found she had to think about this. When had it stopped being fun and started being something more serious for her. The lines had been fluent, she noticed. "Hard to tell." she said honestly. She had talked this through with Rogue after Gambit had left again and left that playing card. Maybe this had been when things had become confusing for herself, but she had not been sure then. "After two weeks? Or rather three? Maybe that day when we went to Six Flags."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 12:59
"An' the general thought since den been, 'what de hell am I doin'?!'?" Remy kept smiling, but he knew he was treading a dangerous ground here, and he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable about that.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 13:04
He probably didn’t know, but his guess was quite a step off the truth. The constant question that had been nagging herself had rather been ?How the hell does Gambit see things?!?
Shade shook her head. "No." she said. "That was what I thought when I came back here after we’d been out for a pizza. I never did something like that before." And she meant it. She had never slept with a guy on first date and especially not without feelings being involved. It had been a no-feelings thing back than which had developed. It had been a totally different starting point for a relationship for Shade.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 13:19
"Well," Remy said, leaning very close to her, so that his lips almost touched her, "I don't know if you ever found de answer to dat, but I'm glad you gave me a try, anyway."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 14:14
Shade kept her eyes open and looked at him, not moving. "So am I." she said, before letting her lips brush over his ever so slightly.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 14:37
Remy smiled before pressing his lips firmly to hers. He had many things to say to her... but didn't want to risk it. They had just returned from a relatively nice vacation, and he wanted the positive impression to linger.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 15:35
Shade left her eyes open, studying his features, wondering what might be going on in his head and coming to the conclusion that indeed, it might be him this time to do more thinking. It made her smile inwardly just as much as it was unfamiliar, but she brushed the latter thought aside and gave in to his kiss.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 15:56
Remy opened her lips with his tongue. Moving towards her, he pushed her a little, trying to make her lie down on her back and at the same time deepening the kiss.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 17:34
A memory flashed through Shade’s head, making a mental connection to lying on the carpet. She decided to give him a moment and see how quickly he would progress things to see whether she’d have to hold him back and tell him to move somewhere more comfortable. She opened her mouth and allowed him to deepen the kiss and at the same time lowered herself to the ground but still keeping propped on her elbows.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 18:02
Gambit shifted and knelt over her, his knees on each side of her body. He leaned above Shade, stopping the kiss and looking at her with a mix of mischief, interest and affection. "What should I do wit' ya, chere?" he asked in a low voice.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 18:16
Shade gave him a smile, being strangely touched by the way his voice sounded. "What would you want to do with me?" she asked, the volume of her voice matching his.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 18:19
"I have a long list," Remy replied, lowering his face a little to touch her nose with his, "but I want to hear your suggestion. Maybe it matches some of mine..."
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 18:25
Shade loved these little gestures like the touch of his nose against hers and smiled. "I’ve got to admit my list’s rather short. Virgin in mind, remember?" She gave him a smirk. "But moving somewhere with less danger of broken bones when things get uncontrolled would be a good start."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 18:28
"Dat means ya want me get uncontrolled, chere?" Remy wondered in the same low voice.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 18:32
Shade had to bite back a snicker. Interesting how a word or two she said could take a different twist all of a sudden. "I want you to make your wish." she said, referring back to her promise that evening in the hotel in the desert. "makes it much more exciting for me."
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 18:37
"I would let you rest before we get to my wish," Remy smirked.
(( twisting my brain over what to write on a Shambit sig... any suggestions? ))
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 18:42
Shade raised her eyebrows at him. "How nice to let me know." she smirked and gave him a quick kiss on the mouth before she withdrew again, tugging on his bottom lip shortly but firmly before she leant back again.
((I’ve so been racking my brain about this exact question *feels uncreative* ))
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 18:54
Remy smiled and stood up, offering her his hand. "Show me what you mean by dis more comfortable place," he said, as if it wasn't his apartment.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 19:07
It seemed to her as if Gambit was willingly giving her the possibility to decide, to set the rules and that was kind of new. Mostly it was him who took over the dominant part in their love making and she had to insist on it if she chose to take over , so Shade felt slightly at a loss of ideas about places.
Still, when she got up and took his hand a wild kind of excitement took over. She led him into the bedroom - simply because a bed was much more comfortable than the floor - then suddenly thought of something different and turned around so he was standing with his back to the bed. She gave him a rather rough push onto the bed and then was over him quickly, drawing him into a deep kiss.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 19:11
Gambit allowed her to push him onto the bed, and when she straddled him, he felt some impatience coming off of her. It seemed that it was a very good idea to insist on her initiative. It didn't happen that often. He responded to her kiss with eagerness, running his palms over her sides.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 19:16
Shade leant a little closer, claiming Gambit’s mouth with her own, letting her tongue run along the roof of his mouth. She could feel her own excitement and impatience rise inside of her, but decided to keep it at the back of her mind for now. One of her hands pushed its way under his shirt and let her fingers run across the bare skin underneath.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 19:28
Remy slid his tongue back and forth against hers, and his hands enjoyed the feel of the curves of her hips when he stroked her sides. His hips involuntarily rose a bit under her, seeking more closeness.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 19:34
Shade continued kissing him, then broke the kiss and used both her hands to push up his shirt further, urging him to take it off. She craned her head and let her tongue flicker across his ribs, then traveled higher towards his collar bones.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 19:40
Remy got his shirt off and immediately returned his hands to Shade's body, tugging at her shirt and pulling it upwards. He had been lazy and tired just a minute ago, but Shade seemed to have stirred him up.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 19:45
Shade raised her arms to allow Gambit to help her shrug off her shirt, tossed it aside and lowered herself on him, pushing her lower body against him, brushing it against his crotch while gently tugging on his collar bones with her teeth.

[Gambit]

Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 19:53
Gambit ran his hands over Shade's shoulders and her upper back, teasing at the straps of her bra but not making any attempt to pull them off. Her movements over his body made him excited.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 19:58
Shade leant closer to let her tongue run across Gambit’s neck and jawline. At the same time, she moved her hips against him again while her hands traveled down his sides slowly.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 20:05
Remy reached the clasp of her bra and pried it open with one hand, letting his other hand brush its fingers through Shade's hair. He liked the feel of her kisses on his skin and made a slight motion with his head to show that he was enjoying what she was doing.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 20:11
Shade smirked into the kiss. She couldn’t deny it, she tremendously enjoyed having him to her command like this. She retreated to his neck again, placed one hand firmly on his chest and undid the buckle of his belt with the other.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 20:27
Gambit brushed his fingers against Shade's neck, drawing her hair aside and exposing her skin. His other hand tugged on her bra, pulling it down as much as was possible.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 20:32
Shade let out a slightly warning growl when he tugged on her bra and shrugged it off before he could get a firmer grip on it, then opened the zipper of his trousers and let her hands glide inside and along his hips and legs, attempting to push his trousers down.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 20:35
She seemed intent on doing everything herself. He stopped bothering her with his attempts to help her get undressed and instead raised his hips a little, allowing her to take his trousers off. He used that moment to run his fingers over the bare skin of her stomach, brushing them ever so slightly at the underside of her breasts.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 20:42
The touch of his hands fuelled Shade’s excitement and she gave in to it for a moment, letting him run his hands along her body while she straightened up and leant back her head a little, smiling to herself. She was still straddling him and now felt an intense need for more skin to skin contact. She opened her trousers and quickly got rid of them, before she returned to kiss him hungrily, sucking on his tongue.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 20:47
Gambit held her head with both hands, answering her kiss hungrily. His heartbeat was quick at this point, and, feeling his senses going crazy with the need of her, he moved his hips under her again, demanding to be let inside her.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 20:51
Shade knew he was slowly getting restless under her and did not feel too much enthusiasm in letting him wait for too long either. She pushed off his boxers slowly, letting her hand close around his member teasingly after she had done so as if she was claiming him for herself.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 20:56
"Chere..." Remy exhaled, arching his body under her touch. His hands slid off her neck and, moving over her shoulders, followed down her sides in a slow caress.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 21:02
His voice sounded almost pleading and Shade smirked to herself. She pulled off her panties. She straddled him again, leaned closer to him, positioning herself just above him, but not allowing him to enter her yet, but slightly brushed herself against him then leaned in and kissed him on his temple, framing his face with her hands, her lips and fingers being a contrast to her teasing.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 21:08
"Tourmentrice..." Remy smiled, almost whispering as he closed his eyes, breathing a bit faster now. He needed her so much now, needed to enter her immediately, he could barely stand it, and his body rose to her, trying to get her.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 21:15
The sight of him almost suffering from need under her evoked her pity immediately. Shade pulled back from his temples but left her hands where they were. She moved to kiss him on the mouth firmly, letting her tongue slide into his mouth while she slowly lowered herself down on him.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 21:20
She was turning it into a slow torture, and Remy knew that he would take the initiative over at some point if he couldn't be able to stand it anymore. But so far he allowed her to do what she wanted - that was the whole point. He sucked her tongue, moving his lips against hers, as he placed his hands firmly over her hips.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 21:25
He was willing to give in to whatever she wanted to do with him and Shade rewarded him by deepening the kiss even more and starting to move at a rather slow, but intense rhythm reveling at the feel of him inside her.
Posted by Gambit on Jun 1, 2007, 21:27
Remy ran his hands over her back, drawing her a bit closer.
Posted by Shade on Jun 1, 2007, 21:30
Shade leant closer to give him as much skin to skin contact as possible while she continued moving and altered her rhythm, letting him slide almost out of her slowly before slamming down on him with more force several times.

It caught Remy's breath, and he stretched on the bed, giving his body a bit more space as he pressed his fingers into Shade's skin. Her movements were unexpectedly but pleasantly forceful, and he liked how her intensity matched his inner need for it.

Shade continued moving with the same rhythm pleased with his reaction, before she quickened her upwards movements slightly, keeping the same force when lowering herself down on him. Breaking the kiss for a short moment to take a deep breath she leant her forehead against his, looking at him then she shifted and gently nibbled his jawline with her teeth.

Remy's breath came a bit harder with each downward motion she made. He placed his hands on her hips, pressing her down a little each time her hips met his in the lowest point of her movements.

Shade straightened up again, feeling Gambit’s grip become more forceful with each of her movements. She leant back a little and changed her rhythm, starting to move up and down on him at a demanding rhythm, letting her pelvis circle slightly as she did so.

"Dieu, Shade..." Remy gasped when she changed the angle. "God, don't stop, please..." he threw his head back a little, pressing the back of his head into the bed.

She chuckled slightly. "I have no intention to." she said, her voice a little deeper and more throaty than usual. Gambit was pleading now and Shade had no reason to object what he was asking for. She continued moving at the same pace adding a few more slight spins as she did so.

It seemed that with each circle of her pelvis she sent his head spinning, and he closed his eyes, shutting off everything that demanded his attention but the feel of her body riding him. Blood was pounding in his ears with each beat of his quickened pulse.

She had the feeling that his pleasure was emanating from him in almost clearly perceivable waves and gave in to her movements completely. Her own breath was quickening, but she was still in control of herself and increased her rhythm even more, trying to maximize his pleasure.

Remy added some more pressure to his hands, helping Shade reach maximum force of thrust with each movement. It didn't help that he was nearing his climax very fast, and only a very quiet voice of conscience at the back of his mind was still holding him back.

Shade felt her mind go slightly dizzy. her body was no longer under her conscious control and she continued riding Gambit with as much force as she could, feeling her own climax draw close.

Remy opened his eyes again, allowing his vision to distract him from his body a bit. By the look of Shade, she wasn't doing much better than him. He gasped a bit as his excitement leapt forward at the gorgeous sight of her above him, but he managed to smirk in satisfaction of seeing her getting so much pleasure from him.

Shade couldn’t help but mirror his smirk. She was moving against him almost desperately now, slight spinning her hips and an erratic rhythm she could no longer control. She knew she would not be able to maintain this speed and force for much longer.

Remy moved his hands from her hips to cup her breasts. He teased her nipples a bit, then covered both breasts with his palms. His body was going almost numb now from the constant struggle between coming and holding back, and all he could do was raise his hips a bit to speed up Shade's orgasm.

Shade had lost all restrains and every bit of control. Holding back was no longer an option and she felt her vision blur temporarily when she felt her inner muscles contract forcefully and came with a rattled cry, tossing back her head.

Gambit held her sides carefully, lest she should lean back on him. He added a bit of thrust to his pelvis, increasing Shade's sensations to their maximum, while he himself had to strain hard not to come. The immense pressure of her muscles on his member made him throw his head back, and he groaned a bit, baring his teeth.

It took her a moment to return back to her full senses and she moved against him from instinct to ride out her orgasm. When she felt it subside, she leant forward against him panting, her breath coming in gasps.
