Hanging By A Moment

Hanging By A Moment
Chapter 34: Final Preparations

************************************************************************

The final projects and assignments for the students of the Xavier Academy came and went as always, leaving only exams. The weeks leading up into May were stressful ones to say the least, but with this hectic year finally winding down, there remained one last major event…The tenth anniversary party.

All throughout the academy there would be celebrations going on to commemorate the amazing ten years that the school had experienced in terms of growth and prestige. There would be dances, concerts, and several major parties all throughout Bayville so that everybody could join in the event. However, the most important of these celebrations would be by far the one Xavier had personally organized in the Alumni hall where only those with invitations could attend. This was the one party that Professor Xavier himself would attend and personally meet with teachers, students, associates, and old friends. Nobody seemed to be more excited about it than him, for it was the culmination of a lifelong dream to create a place to enlighten the world. And for those who would be attending, it promised to truly be a night to remember.

************************************************************************

“Okay, now tell me what you think of this one!” said Jean in an excited tone as she stepped out of the dressing room and stood gracefully before Scott, who couldn’t help but laugh at how she went about shopping.

“Well…I can safely say you’re modeling experience shows,” said Scott with a grin.

“Always the sweet talker, aren’t you soldier boy?” said Jean with a smile, knowing Scott must be growing annoyed with this after having endured this for over an hour.

“Come on Jean…” said Scott with a sigh, “You know that I think pretty much every dress looks beautiful on you. Hell, you could come out wearing a chicken suit and I’d still say you were the most beautiful girl in the world.”

“So much for unbiased opinions…” said Jean, rolling her eyes, wondering why men just couldn’t seem to ascertain the true essence of shopping, “But honestly…What do you think?”

She then proceeded to turn around for him, offering a full view of the affect the dress had on her body. Scott tried to take a serious look at her and give an honest opinion, but over an hour of this just wasn’t producing anything different in his mind. He tried to go back to all the advice about shopping his sister, Sarah, had given him over the years, but unfortunately it only went so far. With the big party only a few days away, everybody was making their final preparations and for Scott and Jean…That meant shopping for the right clothes. It had been easy for Scott to find something…But Jean was proving to be a bit more difficult.

“Well…” he said, scratching the back of his neck, not knowing what more to say, “Honestly…I still say that red dress you showed me first was the best. And if you were to make me pick any of them…I’d still have to go with that one.”

“That one’s still the winner for you, huh?” said Jean, looking back at the pile of clothes she had been trying on for the last hour, “Well, I guess I’d have to agree with you on that to some extent. I can’t seem to find a dress that I like more than that one.”

“So I guess that means you’ll halt your search?” he asked.

Jean thought about it for a moment as she picked back up the red garment she had tried on earlier that both she and Scott had liked so much. It was a very elegant, graceful red dress that very generously accentuated the curves of her body. It wasn’t too short, which was important since this was definitely not an event to look slutty at, but it wasn’t exactly the most concealing dress either. Jean suspected that Scott probably liked it so much because it resembled the dress she wore on their first date, a memory that had always seemed to bring a smile to her face…But as she held it up to her body and looked into the mirror, she couldn’t help but smile, for she knew that if there was a more perfect dress out there, it was unlikely she’d find anything better than what she had anytime soon.

“Hmm…” she pondered as she did one more elegant pose just to be sure, “I suppose this is as good as it gets. Nothing else seems to look better.”

“Definitely…” said Scott in full agreement.

“And besides…I think I’ve tortured you with this long enough,” she told him as she set the dress back on the hook.

“Hallelujah…” said Scott wryly as he let out a sigh of relief as he checked his watch, “So what time are we supposed to meet up with Betsy?”

“In about a half hour,” answered Jean as she went back into the dressing room to change back into her regular clothes, “But we still have to wait for Rogue and Remy.”

“I know…But you know how those two are when it comes to time,” said Scott.

“Good point,” said Jean, rolling her eyes somewhat as she thought back to tall the times Rogue had flaked out on her because that just seemed to be her nature, “And it’s been even more so lately since she and Remy started dating.”

“Yeah, I know…” said Scott with a slight laugh, “Alone they’re punctual enough…But together, they’re in a league all their own.”

Jean couldn’t help but laugh at that as she put her yellow halter top back on, straitened her long red hair, and gathered up all the other dresses that she had been trying on, separating them from the winning red dress that both she and Scott had decided on.

“Well, that was fun,” she said as she stepped out, “But we still succeeded in the end.”

“We most certainly did…” said Scott as he looked at the red dress Jean was holding and smiled, “You’re going to be the most beautiful woman at the party. I just know it.”

“And I’ll have the best man a girl could ask for by my side…” she said as she set the other dresses back on the rack and made her way over into Scott’s waiting arms.

He then proceeded to give her a deep, passionate kiss…Showing her that he meant every word he said. Such gestures always brought a warm smile to Jean’s face, for there seemed to be no bounds to his sentiment as she eagerly kissed him back, feeling all the more lucky to have a man like Scott in her life.

The whole year had been an amazing ride for the both of them. A mere nine months ago, neither of them even believed in love…Now they were in a very serious relationship…One that they could both seriously see as being one that could last forever. It was still amazing to them how much things had changed. Their lives, their goals, and their beliefs had all been profoundly affected…And it was all because they had fallen in love. It was a feeling that they had come to embrace…And it was a feeling that continued to evolve as time brought new challenges and growth.

“This is going to be a night to remember, Jean,” said Scott as he finally broke the kiss, “I promise you…This is going to be a night we’re going to treasure for the rest of our lives.”

“Hmm…I like the sound of that,” said Jean with a warm smile as she saw the somewhat sneaky look on her boyfriend’s face, “But you know I’m going to hold you to that promise.”

“And you know I’m going to keep it…” affirmed Scott, speaking both as the dutiful soldier and passionate lover that he was.

Jean couldn’t help but smile at the thought as she entwined her arm with his and they began making their way back to the front of the store where they would pay for their new clothes and wait for Rogue and Remy…If they didn’t flake out on them that is. However, upon nearing the registers, they were both surprised to hear a distinctive southern voice.

“Hey y’all! Wait up!” said Rogue as she came rushing over to her friends with Remy following close behind her.

“Rogue! Right on time for a change…” said Jean with a wry grin as her friend and her Cajun lover finally caught up with them.

“Hey, law of averages, sugah,” she told her redheaded friend, “Can’t be late all the time.”

“But that sure doesn’t stop you both from trying…” said Scott with a slight chuckle.

“What can we say, homme…We keep getting ‘held up,’” said Remy as he snaked his arm around Rogue’s waist, flashing her a suggestive grin.

“Okay…Something tells me I don’t want to know,” said Jean, shaking her head in amusement, “So are you both ready? We have to meet Betsy for the movie in a half hour.”

“You bet!” said Rogue as she held up the dress both she and Remy had chosen, “It took a little effort…But I think I found the perfect dress.”

“Sure took ya some ‘convincing’ though…” muttered Remy under his breath, earning him a playful swat.

“That’s good to hear,” said Jean, not needing to know any more, “And as long as we’re both happy with our party attire, I think we should get going soon. This will probably be the last time we can all see a movie together before some of us leave for the summer.”

“Yeah…Too bad,” said Rogue, who was going to be going back to Mississippi for a month or so with Kurt and his mother, whom she had also convinced to allow Remy to tag along since he didn’t have anywhere else to go.

“All the more reason to make the best of it,” said Scott with a smile, “It’s been a long, eventful year…We should definitely savor it while we can.”

“Amen to that!” said Jean as she once again laced her arm with his.

Both couples then proceeded to pay for their purchases and make their way out, but as they reflected on how close to an end this amazing year truly was, they couldn’t help but smile at what it had brought them…For in many ways, it had truly changed their lives and it looked as though it would continue to do so in ways they could only contemplate at this point. But aside from the many profound possibilities…This year was something for them all to embrace…For it was sure to signal the end of one thing and the beginning of so much more.

************************************************************************

While most girls were out shopping for their dream gowns to wear to the party, Wanda Maximoff was using other means to get what she was going to wear. As the goddaughter of Professor Charles Xavier, she knew she was expected to be at the party. And while she was never very keen on such formal gatherings…A party like this was something even she didn’t want to miss. Like most girls, she wanted to look her best for the party…But unlike so many others, she had different ways of going about it.

“Okay, Kurt…I think it’s ready,” said Wanda from the bathroom adjacent to her bedroom where her boyfriend was eagerly waiting on her bed.

“Vell then don’t keep me hanging, liebe!” said Kurt in an excited tone, “Come on out and let me see…”

“Okay…Here I come,” she said, still sounding a bit unsure.

Then, as she stepped out of the bathroom, Kurt was practically floored by the sight of his beautiful girlfriend standing before him. She was truly a wonder to behold. The regular black dress that she had originally purchased had been expertly and skillfully modified to better show her true beauty. The sides had been trimmed to show off her sexy legs, some dark, see through mesh had been sew along the top to give a more thorough view of her sexy cleavage. And all along the sides were embroidered symbols in silvery white thread that truly set it apart as being a style all Wanda’s and nobody else.

In Kurt’s eyes, the dress practically defined every alluring aspect about her that he had fallen so madly in love with over the months he had been dating her. It was like a vivid and defining image of everything she was…Beautiful, sassy, sweet, sexy, elegant, smart, and unique. And for that and plenty of other reasons, Kurt was convinced that he was truly looking at an angel.

Wanda couldn’t help but laugh at what she saw as his mouth hung open in awe as he took in her beautiful, captivating appearance. It showed her that she had made all the proper modifications she had wanted and Kurt seemed to be the clearest sign of that she had gotten it right.

“Mein Gott,” he finally said, causing Wanda to laugh a bit at his reaction.

“I take it you like what you see…” she said with a sexy grin as she turned around to show him the full view of what she had done to her dress.

“Of course I like it…” he said as he got up and made his way over to her to get a closer view of what she had done, “You know I like anything that has you in it.”

“Aw, that’s sweet of you Kurt,” she said playfully as she snaked her arms around his neck.

“Your uncle is going to be in for quite a sight,” he said as he once again gazed in amazement at what she had managed to do with a simple black dress, “Who vould have thought such a beautiful, sassy girl could have such skills vith a sewing machine?”

“Guess that makes me one of a kind, babe,” she said with a smirk.

“I couldn’t agree more…” he said, which earned him a deep kiss that he quickly embraced.

Things had evolved quite a bit for Kurt Wagner and Wanda Maximoff over the course of the year. A mere eight months ago, they were just good friends who simply talked and flirted without ever really taking a chance. Then one day…It all changed so fast as they went from being friends to lovers in what seemed like no time at all. Sure it had all started with a little fuck in the boy’s locker room of a local gym, but to them…It was a hell of a way to begin a relationship.

And since then, their relationship had truly blossomed and it had become something they both deeply treasured. From friends, to flirtation, to love…Kurt and Wanda had truly found something in each other that affected them in such a profound manner that they couldn’t even begin to describe it…But that didn’t bother them. All that mattered was that they lived it…They experienced it…And it was truly something they had come to truly cherish.

“Hmm…Just don’t let too many people know I can sew,” she told Kurt as they finally broke the passionate kiss, “I’ve still got a reputation to keep.”

“Don’t vorry, liebe…You’re secret is safe with me,” he assured her as she slipped out of his arms made her way back over to her closet where she put away her sewing supplies.

“Good…Because you know what’ll happen if you tell,” she said in a warning tone, “Break a promise to me…And you’ll have to be punished.”

“Oh don’t vorry…You know me,” assured Kurt with a grin, “I’m a good boy vhen it comes to keeping promises.”

“I won’t argue with you on that,” she said as she put the last of her stuff away, “But I know you can be a very bad boy in certain ‘special’ areas.”

“I know…” said Kurt, knowing full well what she was talking about and not making any qualms about it, “But that doesn’t seem to bother you too much.”

“What can I say…” she shrugged, “I like a little balance.”

Then, as if to further tease him, Wanda slipped out of her dress right before Kurt’s eyes. His eyes widened as he watched her wiggle her body out of the garment, leaving her only in her bra and panties. Wanda could sense his eyes running up and down her body as he so often did even after having experienced it and all it’s splendor so much since they began dating. But no matter how many times he saw her, there was always so much more that stood out to him…For he could see in her more than just her physical beauty. He knew there was so much more to her that made her such an amazing woman and every time he got a moment like this to truly marvel at her, it reminded him just how lucky he was to have a woman like this.

“You know…It’s going to be a long, lonely summer without you, Kurt,” she mused as she hung up her dress and smoothed it out so it would be ready for her come party time.

“Ja…I know,” he said in a somewhat distraught tone, “It’ll be hard vith me being back in Mississippi vith my mother and then to Germany for a few weeks while you stay in Albany vith your father. But I’m sure we’ll work a few visits out.”

“I sure as hell hope so,” she said in a somewhat more emotional tone as she turned back towards her boyfriend, still wearing only her underwear, “I don’t know how I’ll manage without you…”

“Vell…At least our parents are friends,” he reminded, “I’m sure they’ll understand if ve vant to squeeze in some quality time together.”

“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…” she said, still not too thrilled with the notion of being away from her boyfriend for so long, even if it was just for the summer, “But that also means we’ll just have to make the most of the time we have now…”

“Ja…I agree,” he said as he made his way over to his sexy, underwear clad girlfriend and snaked his arms around her sexy waist, resting his hands on her lower back just above her butt, “And I don’t vant to vaste…A single…Moment…Vith my liebe…”

“Mmm…Kurt,” she moaned in response, unable to get out any other words as she felt his warm hands upon her skin and began trailing his lips down her neck in a slow, sensual manner.

Going with the idea that they should make the best out of each moment they had together, the two lovers quickly found themselves in a passionate daze as they exchanged increasingly fervent kisses while allowing their hands to continue roaming each other’s bodies in a fury of burgeoning desire. It didn’t take long before their tongues were entwined in an increasingly display of passion as they began sauntering over to the bed. Wanda made the first move, sliding Kurt’s shirt up over his head and eagerly running her hands around his upper body, fueling her insatiable hunger.

As they reached the foot of the bed, Kurt’s desires became too great for him to ignore as well as their kissing became more passionate and he reached around her to undo the clasp of her bra. Then, in a show of the raw passion and sexiness that so clearly defined her, Wanda eagerly threw it off, exposing her well developed breasts to her lover and allowing him to aggressively tease them in the way only he could.

With her upper half now exposed to him, Kurt eagerly took her breasts in his hands, rubbing in teasing them in a rough, yet adoring manner that evoked deep moans from his lover. She smiled and giggles somewhat as he gave her nipples a firm pinch with his fingers before trailing his lips down from her face directly onto her sexy cleavage. Such actions were causing the tight feeling in his pants to grow all the more unbearable for him. Wanda could feel the bulge in his pants press up against her as he continued to tease and entice her body, sending her into a fury of sexual want and desire.

Her hands began to roam around his body more aggressively as they fell upon the bed in a fervor of kissing and touching. The feeling of his growing bulge pressing against her eager body was causing her to feel very wet inside and her insatiable urges were growing too great for her to bear as moans and grunts of want and desire quickly filled the room.

The two lovers continued to let their hearts and bodies drive them as Wanda went for his pants, eagerly and swiftly pulling them down and freeing his erection from it’s confines. In response, Kurt began kissing downward, trailing his lips down the core of her sexy body, listening to her gasp and moan all along the way as he teased the wet spot that had formed on her panties before grabbing the sides and skillfully sliding them down her sexy legs, leaving her completely naked and exposed to him.

With all their clothing now gone, Kurt eagerly spread her legs, giving him a full, unabated view of her wet pussy. He began to hungrily kiss and tease the sensitive areas of labia and outer folds, causing Wanda’s body to quiver and surge with a fury of raw sexual energy. However, she still felt the urge to make this moment perfect for the both of them, so with all her strength…She managed to control herself enough to make her next move.

“Oh Kurt…” she gasped as she felt his mouth up against her wet pussy, “Please…Don’t let me be the one to hog all the pleasure…Let’s share this moment.”

“Mmm…” moaned Kurt, his face still buried in her pussy, “Sounds good to me…”

Then, with her burgeoning sexual hunger guiding her, Wanda adjusted Kurt’s body so that now she was face to face with his cock while his face was still buried in her pussy. This position would maximize their mutual pleasure and the quickly took to it with full force as Kurt eagerly plunged his tongue deep into her pussy while Wanda eagerly took his cock all the way into her mouth. Deep moans followed as the growing pleasure pushed them to tease each other with more rigor and energy as was common during their passionate sex sessions.

Wanda was practically devouring him, sucking and licking his rock hard penis with great intensity and passion. She seemed to be motivated to go with even more energy than usual as she felt waves of pleasure shoot up through her body as she felt Kurt hungrily eat her out, teasing and stimulating all her deepest pleasure points with great rigor and passion. She began thrusting her hips up into his face, moaning and grunting in contentment with his hard cock still in her mouth. Kurt did the same as he spread the lips of her pussy with his hands, allowing him to more thoroughly please her as their oral teasing continued to fuel their growing desire.

Finally, all the oral teasing left them too horny to go any further. Their brimming desires and raging passion was just too much for them to handle as Wanda gave his erect penis one last long suck before removing it fully from her mouth.

“Oh God Kurt…I want you! I need you! I need you so fucking bad!” she said in a tone brimming with passion and desire.

“Vanda…My sweet liebe…” he gasped as he finally managed to remove his face from her soaking wet vagina, which was now throbbing for his cock, “I shall give you…Everything you need…”

Making good on is promise, Kurt positioned himself on top of her, allowing his weight to press against his beautiful naked lover as she spread her legs widely so he could enter her as easily as possible. Her legs now rested atop his shoulders as he took a firm hold of her hips and slowly guided his cock to her wet entrance. Then, in one strong powerful thrust of his hips, he drove his penis inside her vagina.

“OH FUCK YEAH!” she yelled in response, her whole body contorting at the feeling of his rock hard penis now so deeply inside her.

“Oh Vanda!” he gasped in response upon feeling the soft, wet, tight flesh around his cock.

Kurt captured her lips with his as he slowly withdrew his cock out of her part of the way only to drive it back in even harder and more passionately than before. Wanda let out another gasp as she moaned into his mouth as her tongue wrestled with his as they both worked to establish a strong, frenzied rhythm. Soon, the fury of their sexual energy was making the whole bed frame shake, but their passionate moans were echoed over the noise as they relished in the waves of pleasure that inundated their minds and bodies with this most intimate act.

Wanda felt as though her lover’s powerful cock was going to tear her apart, but she loved every minute of it as Kurt thrust his way in and out of her wet pussy in a passionate fury, letting the sexual demon that Wanda so often brought out in him take hold. Sweat was now pouring off their bodies as they continued to exchange fervent kisses while their hands continued to roam around each others’ bodies. Wanda was wildly running both her hands around Kurt’s back and chest, soaking up the warm feeling of his naked skin against her while his powerful hands traced a path down the curves of her body, paying special attention to her soft, beautiful breasts.

“Mmm-oh fuck-Kurt-I’m getting-I’m getting close! Oh it’s so good Kurt! Oh God-You’re so good to me!” moaned Wanda as she felt the rush of a powerful orgasm overtake her body.

“Oh liebe-ugh-Almost-I’m almost there! Oh yes my liebe! Oh yes!” gasped Kurt as he held onto her sexy legs, which were still resting upon his shoulders and allowing him to fuck her with uncanny intensity.

Then, as Kurt’s grip on her legs tightened, he felt his cock release a burst of his warm, wet fluids within the tight, wet flesh of his lover’s vagina. He let out a long, pleasured moan as he pushed into her as deep as he could, penetrating all the way to her cervix and spilling his cum into her womb. That seemed to give Wanda the extra push she needed as well as her whole body arched and she threw her head back as she let out an moan of sheer orgasmic delight as her pussy tightened and contracted around Kurt’s hard penis, giving her the release she so sorely sought with the pleasure and passion that only this man could bring.

As the fury of their orgasms waned and the two lovers had a brief moment to rest, Kurt and Wanda met in another passionate kiss as Wanda removed her legs from his shoulders and rested them flat on the bed, still feeling a throbbing sensation in her pussy after such ardent fucking.

They both simply took a moment to lay there in one another’s arms, kissing and holding each other in a less frenzied, more loving manner that simply conveyed a sense of warmth and comfort to one another. They smiled and kissed each other, moaning passionate words of tenderness and playfulness to one another as they allowed their bodies to soak up the pleasure and passion of the moment.

“Mmm…Vanda,” moaned Kurt as he remained on top of her, slowly caressing her sensuous curves, “So incredible…So amazing.”

“And so are you my big German stud boy,” she grinned playfully as she moaned slightly at the feeling of his hands on her breasts once again, sending her body in another wave of burgeoning desire.

Soon, as their kissing began to grow more fervent, the two lovers began to work themselves into another round of blissful euphoria.

“Oh Kurt! Again! Fuck me again!” she urged him, and Kurt was more than happy to oblige.

With his hands firmly on her hips, Kurt flipped his lover over so she was now on her hands and knees. She raised her ass into the air, beckoning him to fill her once again. The sight of her wet juices of arousal dripping from her pussy helped Kurt stiffen up again as he kept his hands upon her sexy butt and guided his cock into her.

“Mein Gott, Vanda!” he gasped as he felt her buck her hips at the feeling of his hard cock filling her vagina once again.

“That’s it Kurt…That’s it!” she moaned as he began thrusting into her passionately, riding her into another blissful world of pleasure.

Once again, their simmering sexual energy fueled their passionate tango as Kurt let out a soft grunt with each time he plunged his dick into her wet pussy. Wanda arched her back and contorted her body in delight with each thrust as waves of pleasure consumed her and her lover in a sweet frenzy of sensual movements.

Their frenzied passion once again took hold as the bed rocked to the powerful movements of their bodies as echoes of their blissful moans once again filled the room. The sheer energy they put into sex was always uncanny to the both of them as the intensity of their fucking fueled their raging desires.

With Wanda’s moans getting louder and louder, Kurt rode her faster and faster, thrusting in with every ounce of strength he could muster. Then, he gave her sexy ass a firm slap, causing her to moan out in another fit of sexual fury, which only seemed to add to the moment for the both of them.

“Oh yes Kurt! Again!” she ordered.

Without question, Kurt gave her ass another firm slap, leaving a small red mark, but that only served to drive her into more of a frenzy as she kept begging for him to fuck her harder.

“That’s it Kurt! Again! Again!” she kept urging him as he continued to slap and swat her ass, filling the air with her sweet, sensuous moans.

Kurt continued giving her sexual slaps upon her sexy ass until it was red. Then he started rubbing and massaging it while his sweaty flesh pounded into her with an ever increasing fury. Both Kurt and Wanda had always enjoyed a very physical, rigorous, and energetic sexual passion. Their frenzied sexual energy was something that past lovers often found hard to keep up with. But together…Kurt and Wanda not only kept up with each other, they brought it to new height so pleasure, intimacy, and closeness that was completely unique to them.

As Kurt kept riding her more and more, he felt himself nearing another powerful climax. The sweat was pouring off his face as he moaned and grunted with each passionate thrust, relishing the feeling of being so close and so intimate with this beautiful woman that had captured his heart. Then, as they both neared their respective climax, their bodies began moving together with intense fury as they drove themselves to new heights of passion and bliss.

“Liebe…Oh-Oh yes…I’m cumming! I’m cumming!” moaned Kurt as he firmly held onto her sexy ass as he plunged into her wet depths.

“Oh fuck! Oh-Oh yeah! I’m cumming too Kurt! I’m cumming too!” she moaned as she bucked her hips with more passion at the feeling of his hard cock thrusting so deeply into her.

“Then let’s…Cum…Together,” he grunted as he gave her a few more powerful thrusts before his cock couldn’t take it anymore and exploded into her wet pussy.

Wanda’s body gave out as well, tightly contracting around his hard penis and releasing her pent up sexual passion in a maze of blissful pleasure.

The two lovers continued to relish this sweet moment together, making love for as long as they could muster, for they knew that once the summer came, they wouldn’t have many other chances. This year had given them so much to be thankful for. Together, they had experienced so much and found something with each other that they couldn’t find with anybody else. From casual friends to passionate lovers, there was no more denying what Kurt Wagner and Wanda Maximoff had. It was a beautiful thing to the both of them…So full of passion, excitement, and love. It often felt like a journey to them and sometimes it was an outright adventure, but for the two passionate lovers that had found something so profound within each other’s hearts, it was a journey they were intent on continuing.

Finally, with one last passionate climax in the sweet bliss of love making, Wanda collapsed atop her naked lover, resting herself atop his warm body and listening to his heartbeat as they both relished this sweet moment of bliss.

“You’re too good to me, Kurt…” Wanda told her lover, still short of breath.

“Other vay around liebe,” said Kurt with a warm smile on his face as he slowly traced his fingers down her beautiful face, “You’ve given my life a level of passion, love, and excitement that I’ve never experienced vith anybody else. And for that…I don’t think I can ever truly tell you how grateful I am to have such a beautiful, vonderful, passionate voman by my side…”

Such words actually caused tears to form in Wanda’s eyes, which was a rare thing for her…But they were tears she was happy to shed, for she didn’t want to hide the happiness she felt right now in the arms of her naked lover. Looking up at the warm smile upon his face, Wanda knew this man was the one for her…He was the one she was meant to be with. Even tough she never considered herself someone who was very big on true love, she never doubted that it was out there…And now, she had it in the form of a sweet, kind, caring young man who had fallen so madly in love with.

“Thank you Kurt…” she said, unable to hide the emotion in her tone as he enraptured him lovingly in his arms, “Thank you…For giving me so much.”

“I love you…My sweet liebe,” he told her softly as he placed one last kiss upon her sweet lips.

“I love you too Kurt…I love you so much,” she told him as they both found themselves drifting off into a world of dreams, “You are…The man…For me.”

And with those final words, Kurt Wagner and Wanda Maximoff soon fell asleep with smiles on their faces and infinite hope for the future.

************************************************************************

Back in Piotr’s studio, the Russian born artist was putting the finishing touches on what he considered to be his greatest work to date. For days on end now, he had been toiling over this one piece…But now, it was finally beginning to take shape after so many laborious hours and so much blood, sweat, and tears. Few pieces had ever inspired this much drive in him, but this piece was special…That he was certain of. This was going to be an accomplishment to remember…He knew it…He could feel it.

Kitty stayed with him for pretty much the entire time, helping him out in whatever way she could. This included mixing colors, ordering take out, and giving his creative drive a little ‘refueling’ at times. She had never seen him so energetic and it wasn’t just in terms of sex. Ever since that one moment back when they had been lying in bed together after making love, there had been this strange sparkle in his eye…Almost as if he could see exactly what it was he wanted to create right in front of him the whole time.

He barely slept for more than a few hours at a time, but that didn’t seem to affect him all that much. He was running on pure adrenaline…Driven by the excitement and desire to create a piece that would evoke a powerful reaction to all those who saw it. This piece meant something to him…It meant more to him than any contest ever could. And after days on end of non-stop toil…It was finally coming to an end.

“And just a few more little adjustments…” said Piotr as he eagerly added a few more details, “And…There! Finally…It’s done.”

Then, Piotr took a step back from his work. He was wearing only a pair of boxer shorts and his body was covered with paint stains…But he still bore a wide smile upon his face as he looked back at the fruits of his labor.

“Wow…” said Kitty, who was standing right beside him, wearing only her bra and panties, “Peter it’s…Amazing.”

Kitty had never seen anything like it before. It was just so beautiful. Her eyes practically glowed along with Piotr as his arms snaked around her sexy waist. She grinned and giggled somewhat as her big Russian boyfriend gave her a soft kiss upon her cheek as a token of his gratitude for being such a wonderful source of inspiration to him…In more ways than one.

Kitty Pryde had given Piotr a lot over the past year. She had given him her love, heart, and spirit. From the first time he painted her to all the times they made love, she had become a very special person in the young man’s heart. But there was more to this woman than just a cute, pretty face…Much more. Her loving aura, glowing persona, and overall fun sense of being had captured his heart in a way no one else could. She was a woman who shown her what true passion was. And through this passion, not only did he fall madly in love with her…But he found in his heart something that he could never put into a painting.

“I know I say this too much, Katya…But I believe this is my greatest work to date,” he told her as he hugged her close to his body.

“I think so too,” she said in full agreement, “This is truly the most amazing thing you’ve ever done. It’s sure to blow the competition away.”

“And don’t forget where all this came from, my love…” he told her with a smile as he looked back into her beautiful blue eyes that had inspired such divine inspiration and drive, “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you enough for giving me so much. There is absolutely no way I could have done this without you.”

“Aw…That’s so sweet of you to say Petey,” said Kitty as she turned to face him and wrapped here arms around his strong neck, letting her warm skin make contact with his.

“And I mean every…Single…Word of it,” he told her with a great deal of emotion as he lovingly caressed her face and slowly drew it towards his.

Then…In the shadow of such an amazing accomplishment, Piotr Rasputin and Kitty Pryde met in a passionate kiss, ready to celebrate what they had done for the rest of the night together…In their own special way.
