Gambit

Remy LeBeau stood there grinning at her.

Not a big surprise, but a pleasant one.

They had wanted each other for a long time, but their respective personalities made their relationship a very rocky one.

Neither had a clue that Mojo was about to make their relationship a much more physical one.

"Hot damn, girl, you're looking good." Remy said, getting an eye roll in response.

Her usual amusement was tempered with something much different.

"Don't start, Swamp rat." She snarled.

Remy held his hands up and got an innocent look on his face.

"Why the anger, I just made an observation?" He asked.

Rogue was not amused by his attempts at banter.

"Look...it's been one of those nights and the heat ain't making it any better." She said.

"It's ok, chere, it's been pretty weird tonight for me as well." He responded, trying to soothe her frustration.

"Sorry, it's...been bad." She said calming down.

"Yeah, something up." Remy said, as they moved close to one another.

Their lips were so very close.

Both had a moment of realization that they were on the edge of a choice neither could go back from.

They both wanted to pull back, but they were already too close, she could feel his lips hover over hers just enough that she could lightly feel the pull of her powers.

That sent them careening over the edge.

Mojo watched as ratings absolutely spiked higher and higher with every second.

He had the biggest ratings winner he could have possibly hoped for, but he was sure this was only the beginning.
