Some hours later the sun gradually rose and shined on the bayous and eventually climbed high enough on the outside of the mansion to peek in through the window and gaze upon Gambit and Claudia. The former was still sitting in the chair watching over the latter. When the sun finally reached Claudia's sleeping form and warmed her, she began to stir and waken. Moving gradually she fully extended her arms and legs, stretching out like a cat and yawning, the washcloth falling from her face. Her instincts made her freeze for an instant when she felt the eyes on her, but when she removed the cloth and saw the handsome man watching her and realized that it was simply the man who had not only saved her life but filled her dreams she relaxed and gazed into his ravenous and stunning eyes.
Claudia felt like she was a creature about to be pounced on by a fearsome predator but something about those eyes and that man made her body go hot all over and she could feel the heat coursing through her entire being like a lightning bolt. It wasn't altogether unpleasant and she couldn't help but blush at how it made her feel. This feeling though, it was like she wanted to be hunted, and not just by anyone but by this gorgeous man sitting at her feet. To be caught by those red eyes was both frightening and amazing all at once and the thrills that coursed through her body when those eyes met hers and she saw the soft smile behind them were intense.
"How do ya feel ma p'tite?" Gambit spoke softly in his thick accent.
When Claudia tried to sit up Gambit was up and by her side faster than she could see, "Now, now mademoiselle. Allow me?" He offered his arms in a gesture that was plainly asking if she would let him assist her by either helping her sit up or by picking her up.
When Claudia nodded slightly, Gambit slipped an arm easily under her and lifted her cradling her head. Slipping nimbly behind her Gambit cradled her upper body against his chest and let her regain her balance and bearings. When she was finally fully awake and aware, she pressed back against Gambit and nestled against his chest. To her this was the perfect place for her somehow. It just felt right to her.
"Now don' go gettin too comf'table ma petite. We need ta get ya all nice an clean afta that fall. Ya'll scraped up." Gambit spoke softly his warm breath carrying the words to her ears and tickling them.
"But don't we need to get outta here?" Claudia asked in a brief instant of fear.
"Don' ya worry mademoiselle. Allow me ta welcome ya ta my humble home. Chateau LeBeau."
Claudia stopped for an instant as she processed what he had just said, "You're Remy LeBeau? You're Gambit? That's why everyone said it was impossible! They were trying to loot the Patriarch's home!"
"Nat'rally ma belle. Twas the best test I could put 'em ta. If they could go an loot this place t'my satisfaction then they got th'mselves a promotion ta my personal circle o' t'ieves. Ya made it look easy ma p'tite." Gambit held her up with one arm and slipped around her to kneel in front of her, his eyes level with hers, "Ya stole more than jus' the loot from this place mademoiselle." With the sexiest grin Claudia had ever seen, Gambit caressed her cheek with his free gloved hand and gradually stroked downward along her neck and toward her rapidly beating heart.
Taking his hand and stroking along her side he found her hand and brought it up to his chest, "You definitely stole more than just that loot ma belle." He spoke in a husky voice making his accent seem all the deeper.
At first she felt the warmth and power of his solid chest and then she felt the beating of his heart. Every beat of his heart seemed to echo to her. Their twin heartbeats seemed to sound together as if connected in some unknown and invisible way. In an instant Claudia found herself frozen, unable to breathe, able only to gaze into Gambit's eyes and feel their hearts beating rapidly as one.
"Shall I carry mademoiselle up ta the bedroom fo' a bath?" Gambit finally asked after what seemed like an eternity to both of them.
Barely able to nod Claudia followed his every move, captivated. There was nothing she wouldn't do for him or she thought vice versa. Slipping his other arm under her knees and resting his hand on her thigh near to her hip he lifted her easily overcoat and all and began to carry her toward a stairwell. While he carried her his eyes glowed for a moment and a playing card flew from one of the pockets. Claudia saw that it was the queen of hearts and smiled softly as the card flew to the light switch and flipped it off. In the dark Claudia felt something come to rest near her heart and knew that the card had been put there by Gambit. Her eyes softened even more and she couldn't help but sigh in ecstasy.
"Will mademoiselle allow me t'examine her body fo' any injuries?" Gambit asked softly.
"Of course." Claudia replied, her voice carrying slightly more than she intended.
As Gambit opened a door and stepped through Claudia felt another card slip from the jacket and heard it flip the switch and reveal a very opulent bedroom. Flying back to her face-down the card went to rest on her chest before flipping over and resting next to the queen of hearts. Gambit's eyes glowed in a seductive grin as Claudia realized now that both the King and Queen of Hearts rested over her heart.
"Easy does it." Gambit spoke as he laid her down on the bed and slipped the overcoat off of her, "May I ma p'tite?" He asked gazing at her softly and taking her in.
Melting Claudia felt herself nod slightly but her eyes bore a look of total calm and enjoyment. Gambit smiled and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek before his hands slowly undid her belt and slipped it from her pants. Putting the belt aside Gambit nimbly freed her shirt from her pants and slowly lifted it stopping below the swell of her breasts and once again silently asking her permission. Claudia smiled and nodded and then lifted her arms to allow Gambit to slip the shirt off after gently lifting her slightly. Folding the shirt and placing it next to the belt Gambit returned and began to work on her waistband. Gingerly undoing the button and zipping the pants down Gambit gently pulled them down being careful to avoid pressing on any bad spots or abrading Claudia's legs. When he had the pants off and folded he examined her legs and found them covered in scratches both large and small.
"Don' do ya no good t'fight wit da wall p'tite." Gambit spoke in an earnest if light-hearted tone.
Claudia couldn't help but laugh at this. Gambit laughed with her, captivated by the sweet sound of this beautiful woman's laugh.
He sat down next to her and slowly picked her up asking, "May I?" as his hands caressed her back or traveled through her hair.
"Please Gambit."
