The entire mansion was quiet, except the rec room. Were five members of the X-Men were engaged in a friendly game of poker� �I will see your five Hank and raise you five more.� �My, my, my�we�re living dangerous tonight chere. Things are really starting to heat up.� �I always liked playing with fire.� She said staring into Remy�s eyes. �Careful you don get burned, Stormy.� Remy said with a wicked grin. Bobby rolled eyes, �Sheesh�you guys been at it all night. Get a room already.� �Yeah gumbo, shut yer yap and play. You and �Ro can play tag later.� �I�m in mes amis. And I will add ten to de pot.� �Well, Blue it�s back to you.� �Much to my dismay and based on the cards I have been dealt by are zealous Cajun friend�� Hank a simple yes or no will suffice.� �I fold.� �Well, Stormy?� �I see your ten and raise you ten more.� �That�s it for me. I was bluffing anyway.� �Too rich fer my blood.� �I call. Show me what you got Stormy.� �You can�t handle what I got Remy.� �Don� be to sure about dat belle. I can handle anything you got.� Remy said returning her smile. �There doing it again.� Bobby moaned. Ororo laid down her cards still smiling. Logan let out a long whistle, �Full boat with the ladies doin the paddling.� �Remy my friend, it appears that Ororo has you over the proverbial barrel.� �Looks can be deceivin�.� He said as he laid down three aces. Holding back the last one �Ah de ace of hearts always comes through for Remy.� He kissed the card and placed it next to the rest. Remy gathered his chips, �I do believe you just got burned Stormy.� �Tough luck Ro.� Logan said as he patted her shoulder. Ororo shrugged her shoulders, �It is only money Logan.� �Yeah, my money.� Replied Bobby. Remy, Ororo, Hank, Bobby and Logan had been playing cards all night. Remy had won the majority hands; Ororo was a close second. Her game did improve greatly, after many hours of lessons from Remy. �Another game boys?� �No thanks darlin. I�m leaving �fore you two take the shirt right off my back.� He said standing up, �G�night. � �Ah my fair lady, I must decline your offer of another game. It is late after all and I do have an early morning�� What Blue�s trying to say is Ro you two are a couple of card sharks. Who happen to clean out our wallets. No offense.� �None taken.� She laughed. �I bid you all a fond farewell and a good evening.� �Night Henri.� �I expect that from the Cajun over there. But you?� Bobby shook his head. �Where did you learn to play like that?� �I have an extremely arrogant, sometimes infuriating, but an excellent teacher none the less.� She said looking over at Remy. �Remind me to sign up for lessons tomorrow. Later guys.� �Goodnight Robert.� Ororo and Remy were now sitting across from each other. Remy picked up the deck of cards. �Jus you and me now.� There was a gleam in eyes, �You ready to take dis game to another level?� �Absolutely.� She answered with determination in her voice. He was pleased with her fortitude, but how far is she willing to go? �Since dis is de last game of the evenin, let�s make it interesting.� He began shuffling the cards. �One hand.� He fanned the cards on the table. �All or not�ing.� With his right index finger he flipped the card over, causing a domino effect with the other cards. Then he repeated the same motion on the other side. �No turning back.� He gathered the cards again. �Dealer makes de rules.� He shuffled the cards again. �Winner takes all.� Remy places the cards in the center of the table. �Are you game?� Ororo reached over and cut the deck. �I�m game.� �Good.� He reached for the cards and started dealing. He finally dealt the last of the cards. Ororo was now looking over her cards. Remy looked up from his hand with devilish glint in his eyes. In a nonchalant manner he gave out the finally terms of the game. �By de way we�re playin �strip� poker.� Ororo eyes grew wide with shock. �You can not be serious!?� �Dead serious.� He stated flatly. �Since we�re only playin one hand, dere�s a slight change in de rules. Instead of stripping one piece of clothing at a time�de loser would have to do a striptease for de winner.� �You never� you never�� Words failed her. She couldn�t believe she let Remy rope her into this game. Oh she was mad and it was clearly written all over her face. Remy thought the look on Ororo�s face was priceless. He tried suppressing a laugh but he failed miserably. �You think this funny?� �Your expression, yes. Ahh�what�s de matter Stormy?�� Remy�s toned change from mild amusement to a mocking playfulness. �I thought you like playing wit fire.� �Well two can play this game.� She leaned forward locking her gaze with his. Her eyes were wild and fiery. They only hinted at what laid behind their blue depths. In a low and husky voice, �I do. Get ready to play because I�m about to turn the heat up.� Remy had never seen that look in her eyes before. Her eyes mirrored what he was feeling on the inside. The spark between them had been ignited and the flame was growing stronger. Whatever the outcome of this game, either way he wins. There was a lot more riding on this game than pride. This wasn�t a childish game between two adults. It was a contest of wills to see which one would break first. Finally, admitting how the truly feel about each other. �How many cards chere?� �Three.� �Bad hand huh?� He smiled while he dealt her the cards. Ororo slid her hand over the cards. �It all depends on whom it is bad for.� She said looking up from her cards. �Jus remember de odds always favors de house.� �Only if you are lucky.� �Trust me luck has nothing to do wit it. It�s all about skill.� �Let�s see how skillful you really are. I call.� Remy laid is cards out on the table. He had three kings and a pair of jacks. A devilish grin spread across his face, at the thought of Ororo doing a little striptease ran thru is mind. Ororo stared at his cards and shook her head. �How could I possibly beat that?� She sighed downhearted. �It seems I hit de jackpot and your de prize.� He grinned wickedly. �Your turn chere.� Ororo slowly laid each of her cards down in order: the ten of hearts, the jack of hearts, the queen of hearts, and the king of hearts. The last card still in her hand, she turned it towards him. She smirks triumphantly as Remy�s eyes grew wide with disbelief. Ororo�s card the ace of hearts. �Damn.� It was the only thing he could say. �Get ready to shake that groove thang.� She said seductively. Ororo leaned back in the chair; she crossed her right leg over her left. She tapped the ace of hearts on her knee. Her eyebrow rose slightly. �Well?� �Well what?� �When is the show going to start?� She looked over Remy with a devious eye. Starting with his feet and working her way up to eyes. She defiantly liked what she saw. �I want my money�s worth.� �C�est la vive.� Remy stood and walked over to the light switch. �She wants a show hmm? I�ll give her one, one she�ll never forget.� After he dimmed the lights he walks over to the stereo, he starts rummaging the CD collection. He found what he was looking for. Remy turned on the stereo and inserted the CD. He changed the CD to the desired track. The music started to play. The song he chose was hot and sultry. He walks towards her slowly, like a panther eyeing is prey. He gently took Ororo�s hand in is own, he brought it up to his lips. He kissed her hand softly as he looked into her blue eyes. In response she stood up slowly. Remy lead her to the couch. The ace of hearts was still in her hand. Take one Baby lying on the bed Exotic fantasies going through her head He stepped back from her his eyes never leaving hers. He started to dance, moving in time with the music. Take two She staring at me with those bedroom eyes He started swaying his hips in a circular motion as he ran his hands thru his thick auburn hair. His dark eyes burned deep within her soul, igniting the flame. Together we'll get lost inside the love All I want to do right now is love her down I don't give a damn about who hears the sound We'll be in the groove until the sun comes up Remy imagined Ororo�s hand caressing his body, so he moved them accordingly. His hands found their way to his waste. He crossed over his arms; he started removing his shirt, slowly revealing his perfect abdominal muscles then his well-defined chest. He was beautiful. Ororo�s pulse started to race at the sight of him. Remy tossed the shirt to one side and returned his gaze. His eyes were different, they now burned with desire. He walks towards her, unbuttoning his jeans. He stands in front of Ororo looking down at her, grabbing her hands gently, he places them on his waist. He guides her hands down over his jeans, removing them. The only item of clothing remaining on his body, silk boxers which were black as sin. He wasn�t finished yet, not by a long shot. He got down on both knees and placed one hand on each of her knees, he slightly pushed her legs apart. Remy leaned in closer, never breaking the gaze. Ororo swallowed hard, she could feel the heat rising from Remy�s body. Her heart was beating faster and faster with each breath. She gave a silent prayer hoping her resolve would hold strong. She didn�t want to be the first one to break and give into her passion. Remy picked up the hand holding the ace of hearts. He looked at the card briefly; he bought her hand to his mouth and planted a kiss. His touch sent jolts of electricity through out her body. He continued as he trailed delicate kisses up her arm, to her collarbone and to the nape of her neck. Once at her neck he started increasing the pressure. She moaned in response. Her body was reacting to his as she tilted her head allowing him easy access. With his mouth occupied with her neck that left is hands free to roam her body. His warm hands moved slowly under her shirt. One hand found its way to her back, while they other was caressing her breasts like a soft melody. Remy continued adding more fuel to the fire that blazed within her. The same fiery passion she tries so hard to suppress on a daily basis. Once finished with her neck, he continued is path to her ear, were he began to nibble. She took in a sharp breath as he played within her ear. All I want to do right now is love her down I don't give a damn about who hears the sound We'll be in the groove until the sun comes up Together we'll get lost inside the love Still nibbling on her ear, Remy brought up his right hand from under her shirt and caressed the left side of her face. She could feel his warm breath against her. This was torture, divine torture.

Ororo�s resolve had crumbled. She gave into her passion and the love that laid beneath there. She enfolded her arms around his neck, while her long legs enveloped Remy�s waist. They fell back on the couch together. Let's make a love scene Steamy and good Erotic memories for an audience of two And we'll make a love scene Let the four play begin And replay each moment again and again Remy let go of the ace of hearts. It had fallen gently onto the floor. The contest of wills was over. Each side could claim victory or defeat, depending on how you view it.
