Grudge

I parked up at Jean's place at about eight in the morning. The girls were all sleeping, only Raven took the chance to flirt with me for about half an hour before she fell asleep to and I drove in silence.

I carried Jean like a princess, like what she was, the rustling woke her up. I rang the bell and her dad opened the door for me, he didn't let us in right away but instead crossed his arm beneath his chest, clearly not happy. 

It was not right for me to be bringing his daughter the day after, especially dressed like this. It was 'obvious' Jean had been at some sort of party, I only hope he doesn't have ideas of smelling her breath to see if she drank. I want to be respectful to the old man. 

Her mom then walked out looking at her daughter with an amused mock-reproachful glance. I think she wanted to defend me but seeing the sternness of her husband, she kept her silence and waited. 

"You better have a good excuse, young man".

"Sir, we–" I began talking even before thinking what bullshit I was going to spit, thankfully... Jean saved me and took all the blame. 

"Dad, please don't get upset with my boyfriend. I wasn't even with him, I was with some friends… he went to pick me up and brought me back home".

Mrs Elaine smiled broadly, "Is that so?~ what a nice and handsome son-in-law, thanks for bringing our daughter, would you like some tea before leaving?" she pulled me and Jean in. 

"Wait Elaine, don't call him that!" Her father protested, since he didn't look happy, I added a piece.

"I apologise for bringing her this late, father-in-law, I have no excuse," I said heartfelt. 

"Ray, you don't have to– wait, boy! Don't call me that!".

...

I had my fun moment with them, Jean disclosed our relationship, and I heard no complaints. I put Jean on the bed and kissed her goodbye. She was a bit greedy and pulled me on top until we were kissing on her bed. 

"Don't be naughty I have to go".

"I want to continue uhm~ what we were doing in the car before" She kept kissing but this girl... she was kissing me with her eyes half-closed. 

"Jean you were sleeping a few seconds ago... I still have to drop Emma and Raven" we wrestled and I pinned her to the bed. 

"Emma is living with you... you're not dropping her" She panted, looking so pretty that I loosened my grasp on her wrist, a chance she took to dash another kiss on my lips. Such a cute little girl. 

"..."

"You will do it with her–"

"We're going to sleep–" I clarified. 

"After you sleep..." She clarified too. 

I don't know what's going to happen after we sleep. I can't agree or disagree.

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked her straight, putting her on the spot, she can never expect me to be honest and surprisingly enough, she also will never ask me to put boundaries, not with Emma. 

"I don't mind what you do, but you're taking me on a date this Sunday. Just the two of us".

I can work with that. 

"Deal" I held my pinky forward to make a pinky promise. 

"What's this? we're not kids anymore!" She complained and still held her pinky forward, "Let's make a different promise instead, a more meaningful one".

"Alright" I entertained her and we held our pinkies together. 

"Stay with me, always..." Her pinky held mine tightly... Jean's blue eyes were so pretty. But I faltered. 

"Always...?"

"You can't?"

I didn't realise when, but we were levitating on her bed. She was eager, I couldn't give her any other answer... even if my mind was not as naive as it used to be. 

Some promises are sad to be broken, some promises are sad to be never done. 

"I will try my hardest to not break this promise, Jean".

I will never know if I will break the promise or not, but I know I'm going to do my best to maintain this peace. She smiled and kissed me, her powers receded and put us back on the bed where I left her, put the blanket on top and she was ready for her slumber. 

...

"What took you so long?" Raven questioned me, Emma was still sleeping. 

"I had some fun with the in-laws. Where should I drop you?".

"Your apartment would be cool~" She crossed her legs with that roguish smile that made me sigh and give a sidelong glance to the sleeping Emma. 

"You're not serious, Raven".

"I am serious. How long do you think it will take for Erik to know that I have betrayed him? I'll be homeless in no time, you're my partner so take care of me too" She shrugged her shoulders.

It is not like Magneto is going to know right this instant that she's been giving me information about his movements, the fact that he plans to disrupt the Mutant Registration Act or the fact that he's working alongside Shaw. 

"Should I get you an apartment?"

"..."

Raven sighed in disappointment that I wasn't going to let her stay in my house. Only two people fit in my bed and Emma is already a rough sleeper.

"I could get one myself".

Raven left the car. 

"Where are you going?".

"Wherever the wind takes me... since I won't be fucking you anytime soon, you're too busy with these girls–".

I pulled her sleeve, and stopped her steps... although I'd have wished to do this somewhere else and not in front of Jean's house, "What do you even see in me?"

"A stud. A powerful stud... a bit too dangerous for comfort, few redeeming qualities" The vixen went as far as to press herself on me, pushing me against the car. All I could do was panic and look at the windows of Jean's house.

"Are you mad?".

"If you're going to be a womanizer, play the part~" Raven pulled my head and kissed me. 

This woman is crazy. After we had our fill, she released me, looking like a completely different pretty lady. I love her powers. 

"I will see you later... thanks for helping me with the kids, and I found my daughter too... not a bad trade".

I sighed and watched her walk to the end of the avenue and hop on a bus that had just arrived, out of my sight until the next mission.

...

"Isn't your life quite fun?" Emma said with her arms crossed once I hopped in the car. 

"A bit stressful too" I smirked and drove off back home. 

"The audacity to call your life stressful when you have me" Emma put her hand on my tight, I only had to give her a sidelong glance to know she was playing tough, her eyes were still half-lidded. 

"You're one piece of ass, to be honest," I said honestly. 

"I hope you're saying that in the good sense, Ray Stark. You still got me a bit unnerved".

Her hand was getting closer to my crotch, a finger-length closer at every traffic light. 

"I don't know why you're upset. I have shown nothing but love to you, Emma" I said, not trying to sound sarcastic. 

Her hand finally reached my crotch and rubbed it.

"Your love is a bit too rough, treat me gently... I'm a delicate lady until I'm not".

Ah... so she's upset because I pressed her head too hard against my crotch, I got caught up in the heat of the moment at that time. Just like she's now gripping my crotch. 

I held her hand into quietness, "Sometimes you present yourself in a way that leaves me no option but to be a bit rough with you. Now stop being naughty and take a short nap, we will be home in fifteen minutes".

...

I drove back home with brows flinching, I don't know how this woman managed to fall asleep with her hand gripping my crotch, truly a possessive vixen until the end. 

I carried her upstairs and dumped her on our bed.

What a day...
