Love the opening, It's great that Rogue chose that particular method to get at Logan, and props to Logan for realizing it and handling it well.

I like how you have been changing Logan a bit at a time over the course of the story, and that he can be calm and actually be the one to ask for a reasonable conversation about feelings and not feel out of character.

Of course, I'm still suspicious that something unpleasant this way comes.

Great reads Looking forward to more.

Rogue seems to be the opposite of old timeline Rogue in some respects; she has an easier time with physical intimacy than she does with emotional intimacy.  Logan has definitely changed in some ways, having learned some lessons in this timeline and the last, and he knows he has to do things differently; I'm glad it didn't seem too out of character for him.  He's still himself, but he'll do anything for Rogue.

Loved that! Resolving the misunderstanding of last chapter by Logan demonstrating the patience Rogue needed to open up, then having that mirrored by Logan opening up to Rogue and having her watch (and then participate in) such a private moment. Extra props for proper hotness. Excellent way for the bet to be over, too :D Can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you!  I wanted to Logan to open up to Rogue so that she felt like she could open up to him, and he sure did.  :)  Thanks for commenting!
