Logan stood silently in the doorway, watching her pack her things.

�Going somewhere, Darlin?� he asked.

�Anywhere but here,� she said without turning around.

He stepped into the room and shut the door behind him. At the sound of the door clicking shut, she turned around to look at him.

�I wanna talk ta ya,� he said, �Without the chance of anyone comin in and disturbin us.�

She folded her arms over her chest, then stared at him.

�So talk,� she said, her voice somewhat cold.

�Ya don�t have ta leave,� he said, as he stepped closer to her.

She turned back to the bed again.

�Yes I do,� she said.

�Why?� he asked, taking another step closer.

She sighed, tossing a dress into her bag. He knew more than anyone why she had to leave, so why was he asking so many questions?

�You know why Logan,� she said, �I need to get away from here, away from you.�

He flinched. That hurt. He was not sure why, but he really didn�t want her to go.

�If I cause that much of a problem,� he said, �Then I�ll leave.�

�No, you wont,� she said, �You were here first. I will leave.�

He stepped forward again, this time reaching out his hand and taking hold of her arm spinning her around to face him. He looked deep into her green eyes, trying to figure out why it was that he wanted her to stay so badly. She had been nothing but trouble since she had gotten here. She had almost gotten the entire team killed on their first mission, not to mention the fact that she had wrecked his Jeep, almost killed Jubilee and completely destroyed the forest behind the house. She was more trouble than she was worth, yet for some reason he found himself wanting her to stay.

�I want you to stay,� he whispered.

�Why?� she asked, breaking free of his grip and going over to the closet to get a few more things.

He uttered a curse, then walked up behind her. He grabbed her arm again and spun her around, then slammed her back into the wall. He then positioned himself in front of her, barring her escape.

�Because every time I close my eyes, all I see is you,� he said, a low growl to his voice.

�Don�t, Logan,� she said, her eyes full of shame, �The last thing you need in your life is me.�

Without thinking he stepped forward, pressing her against the wall with his body. He couldn�t smell her. He wanted so bad to smell her. He leaned closer, pressing his lips against her bare shoulder.

He felt her flinch, and heard her soft intake of breath. It made him smile. He moved up to her ear, his lips leaving soft kisses in his wake. When he reached her ear, he caught it between his teeth, and again smiled as a soft moan escaped her.

�Let me smell you,� he whispered in to her ear, �Please.�

He put his hands on her hips, then slowly moved them up and around to her back, pulling her closer to him. His lips once again moved from her ear back to her shoulder, where he softly bit down. His reward was another soft cry from her, and the salty taste of her blood as it flowed from the small wound. He closed his eyes and groaned, trying to allay the bloodlust that the taste had awakened in him.

�Please,� he whispered as he moved to the other shoulder, �Let me smell you.�

Her skin burned where his lips had touched it. She could feel the blood flowing from her shoulder, yet she didn�t want him to stop. Slowly, she released her shield, allowing her scent out. She heard a low growl escape him as he caught her scent, and her pulse began to race. She felt her body being lifted as he carried her over to the bed and laid her down. He raised his head and looked at her. His blue eyes were alight with an inner fire she had never seen before, it took her breath away.

Then his head descended again and his lips claimed hers in a crushing kiss. He plunged his hands through her hair at the same time that his tongue plunged into her mouth. His hands closed around a handful of her hair and he pulled slightly.

She cried out against his lips. She could feel Wolverine, he was so close, just at the edge of Logan�s subconscious. She could feel him trying to get free, she could feel Logan�s struggle to keep him controlled.

�Let him go,� she whispered when he moved to her shoulders again.

�I can�t,� he said softly, �He will hurt you.�

�No he won�t,� she said, �Trust me Logan, let him go.�

He made his way down to the collar of her shirt, to where it scooped and showed her cleavage.

�Are you sure?� he asked, as he nipped at the tender flesh of her breasts.

�Yes,� she moaned.

He stopped and brought himself up to look into her eyes.

�You have to be sure you want this,� he said huskily, �Once I let him go there is no turning back.�

�I know,� she said, her breath catching in her throat.

She knew what to expect, so she used her power to put up a sound barrier around the room, so that none of the mansion residence would hear the sounds from her room. He once again returned to her shoulder, the one that was bleeding. He once more bit into her shoulder, and this time it brought forth more blood, and a cry from her. It was just enough to let Wolverine go. The resounding roar that escaped him as Logan released all control and set the animal inside him free sent a shiver of excitement through her.

The first thing she heard once the roar faded was the distinct sound of his claws being popped from their sheaths. She shivered as he ran the back side of one up her leg and into her shorts, cutting them off of her. The next to go was her shirt in the same fashion, and so on till she lay naked beneath him. He looked down at her and there was no mistaking the animal lust that filled his eyes. Without even a single word he claimed her lips again, this time in a crushing kiss that left her literally breathless. In a flash his clothes were gone, and he lay on top of her, skin to skin.

She slipped her hands around him, then ran her nails down his back. About half way down she dug them in. He roared again and pulled her closer, driving into her. His pace was furious, his teeth digging into her skin in several places. The taste of her blood only seemed to spur him on, as did her cries. She dung her nails in again, trying to hold on as his animal side took her further than she had ever gone before. Her legs began to go numb from the pleasure, and she felt her world begin to spin. His growls only served to excited her more, adding to her ecstasy.

She felt herself being pushed upward, closer to the edge, and the closer she got, the more she cried out, until finally she let go. Her cry was joined with a roar from Wolverine as he too plunged over the edge, but the sounds never left the room. No one in the rest of the house had any idea of the events that had just taken place upstairs. No one knew that Logan had finally been able to let Wolverine free like that, and no one knew how long it took him to regain his control afterward either.
