A long awaited date.

[claws_of_rage]

As soon as she left I was making calls. Wasn't gonna take her anywhere without a ride. Thought about a limo, problem with that someone else driving, big back seat we'd never get out of the car. My girl liked sports cars. That much I knew, so after making a couple calls I found a sleek silver Shelby. It was waiting for me outside by the time I got

For the longest time she just stood staring in the mirror. It was just so....pink. The concierge service at the hotel had been a great help in acquiring a dress. The maid that brought her the dress even helped her lace it up as it was two pieces, a skirt and corset. At least that was more her style. Standing there she rest her hands on her stomach as if that gesture could calm the nerves rattling around

[dealing_death]

She felt a flutter in her stomach. More of a sinking actually.

"Worse?" Her eyes looked concerned. So it would seem there were somethings, some parts of themselves, that would be locked away and never spoken of. She was not naïve, Selene knew there had to have been other women. The night they met in that park he reeked of it.

"The tears come far to easily these days." It was not that she enjoyed being miserable. Selene was torn by how she felt for Logan and the pain she felt for Lothoro and there was not a soul on the planet she could make this confession to.

[claws_of_rage]

"Yeah. But that's over now."

I stopped the car and pulled her over the seat into my lap, stroking her cheek.

"I know you've been through a lot, lost a lot. I'm sorry, wish I could take all that pain from you. I can at least help them lessen."

Her head was cradled in the crook on my elbow.

"No matter what I've done, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of you."

[dealing_death]

Being in his arms, on his lap, made that knot on her stomach fade. Wrapping her small hands around his arms she leaned in closer and kissed him as if she were leaving and did not know when she might return. It was hungry and needy. There was so much she wanted to say to him but knew words would never really be enough.

He was so soft and gentle with her. Selene nipped his bottom lip and smiled a wicked smile. She had to stop the path her thoughts were wandering down or this would end up being a night of tears and not much else.

"I am not a doll, I won't break."

[claws_of_rage]

I growled and chuckled at the same time.

"Darlin', nobody but me knows how very untrue that statement is. You're more fragile than you let anyone see, besides me."

That kiss made my head swim and I had to rein myself in again.

"Decided dinner was just stupid, since you don't need to eat and I already have. So I figured we'd go somewhere else. I chose dancing, that way I get to hold you in my arms all night."

Leaning in I tilted her head back, letting my hot breath blow over her skin before dragging my lips over the tender flesh.

"How's that sound darlin'?"

[dealing_death]

The heat he blew on her neck followed by the silky feel of his lips made her gasp, a shiver ran through her covering her body in goosebumps.

"I am in your arms." She smiled at him. Her tongue darted out, running over her pretty pink lips. Dragging a finger down the side of his throat she followed the trail her finger made. "Oh I don't know I could use something to eat."

[claws_of_rage]

"Mmm no, you're nothing but safe in them."

I loved feeling and watching how her body reacted to me, the slightest touch or breath against her. God it was alluring.

"I'll take care of you forever if you'll let me."

I looked down at her, god how I wanted to let her do that. Missed that closeness that only we had. She knew everything about me. But I didn't want her to see what a mess I had been and the complete disreguard I had for everything and everyone. My voice was low as I spoke.

"Don't want you to be mad, or hurt. You won't like what you see."

[dealing_death]

Forever. The very word sent a chill down her spine. Forever was not as long as one might think. It scared her to think about it ending. That was a thought that consumed her mind.

Selene noticed the change in his tone. That bothered her. What could he have possibly done that could worry him so? This was something she had not even shared with Lothoro, not once had she ever bitten him and he had never touched her in that way. He refused because biting her meant being like her and no one should be stronger then Amelia.

"This is a part of myself I have only ever shared with you." Selene looked him in the eyes as she searched to find what it was that bothered him. "Only you...tell me what it is you do not want me to see."

[claws_of_rage]

I looked into the deep depth of her eyes, getting lost in them as I always had and stroked her cheek.

"I haven't been alone, not since I left LA. Everywhere I went there was a fight, drinking, women. It was how I lived. I don't want the image you have of me turning into something ugly because of my stupidity. It's not that I feel I aws unfaithful. But I know what it is to see the one you love in the arms of another. I don't want you to have to see that."

I'd never been more honest with anyone. I didn't want her to be hurt and if she saw it I knew she would be.

[dealing_death]

Selene did not expect that he would have been alone. A man like Logan was a commodity most women would not dare pass up. "Logan.." She sighed as she looked in his eyes. "Your choices do not make you ugly or stupid. Not in my eyes

[claws_of_rage]

I nodded and when her fingertips brushed over my eyelids I relaxed. Listening to her words I nodded, thinking about the first time I saw her, that night I stabbed her, Christmas, the first time I kissed her, when we used to share cigars, the look on her face when she was in the throes of passion. Nothing but the good times, the happy times with us. Then I created a few fantasies that never happened that I thought about over the last year.

[dealing_death]

He seemed to relax a bit, which she always found odd. Most when they know what is coming tense up, afraid of the pain. Logan was ready for it. Selene licked her lips and let her mouth slowly open. One hand cupped the back of his neck pulling him tightly against her, tangling in his long locks of hair. She only wished she could give him this very same thing

[claws_of_rage]

It always wore me out a little, but god I left the feeling. I held her closely and nuzzled her hair.

"I'll tell you, just not now."

Sighing I stroked her hair and kissed her lips so softly.

"Personally, I'd rather act them out. But that can happen all in due time."

[dealing_death]

"Not now? You are terrible."

This man drove her mad. The way his lips felt, the touch of his hands, the passion in his eyes. Selene felt consumed by him. Cupping his face in her pale hands she brushed her fingers over the trimmed facial hair along his jaw.

"Logan.." She started off slowly. "I never stopped loving you. It never faded. Never went away. As I sit here now I love you just as I did the first time the words came from my lips."

[claws_of_rage]

"And I am just as honored now as I was then."

Smiling I held her chin between my thumb and forefinger, kissing her lovingly.

"At least you know you've always been on my mind."

It was the truth, in those moments I was alone she was always in my thoughts, not a second did she elave me heart.

[dealing_death]

Taking his strong hands in hers she laced their fingers together. When was the last time they had just curled up together talking and touching? It was an intimacy even sex seemed to lack. Lifting his hands up she kissed his knuckles softly.

It was crazy to think but she knew the knight he stabbed her was the turning point for them. She had felt a connection. They knew each other in a very intimate way yet there was much she did not know about him. Logan had always kept his wants and desires on the backburner as to not hurt Adam. Now it was just them and she wanted to know.

"What is your greatest wish for us?"
