Note: Thanks Dor for sharing!!! I didn't do anything with you grrls on Coruscant, didn't want to mess up any plans you might have. :)

Ellie tiptoed into the library, turning her head slightly to confirm that LP was not alarmed by her presence. He sat at a table, quill in hand, muttering to himself, occasionally writing a word onto the paper in front of him.

JenJen was across the room perusing the new Pink Banana catalog that had finally arrived after the General had confiscated her old one on his health food kick. She glanced up at the Ho hiding amongst the book stacks and winked. Jen knew what Ellie was up to, and it made her miss the General even more. Maybe she should just go to Coruscant.

Ellie peered around the shelf and saw her prize. Logan sat along the wall, puffing a Cuban cigar, and sharpening his claws. She inhaled the sweet aroma. She loved cigar smoke. It almost brought a tear to her eye imagining the two of them sharing a smoke after, well, you know.

Ellie leaned down and placed a small morsel on the ground. Backing up a few steps she placed another, then another till she'd backed herself out of the library and back down the corridor to the dorms.

JenJen glanced up from her reading about the latest flavor of motion lotion, and saw Logan's nose begin to twitch. He raised his head and sniffed at the air, then rose with a long stride. He stalked over to where Ellie had been hiding and took in another long breath. He seemed to be deciphering between her scent and the smell of food. He looked down and saw the small kibble treat, and scooped it up and popping it into his mouth so quickly Jen couldn't follow his movement. She grinned at the whole spectacle then returned to looking at her toys.

Ellie was almost back to her dorm room when she stopped short. She strained to listen to the sounds of the hallway. Blocking out the sound of Ky giggling and screaming with her praetorian from within her own room, she picked up another sound.

The sound of quick, heavy steps coming down the hall. Then she saw him round the corner.

The Wolverine stared at the Ho. Ellie grinned at him seductively. Raising her hand and moving one long finger in a 'come here' motion, she backstepped towards her own room.

Logan growled and took off in a swift gait. He scooped Ellie into his strong arms and devoured her lips hungrily. A tangle of arms and legs made it noisily into the dorm room, startling a gummy fish eating Kendra, curled up on the couch with Mo watching Shallow Grave.

Kendra's mouth dropped open. Her roomie had mentioned this possible scenario, but it still came as a shock. She cocked her head and raised an eyebrow to her friend. Ellie and her pets! This would not do!

Ellie removed herself from Logan's strong grip and leaned in to his ear. After nibbling it softly, eliciting a low snarl, she whispered something and he grinned a feral smile.

She backed away as he took a fighting stance. Mo moved as if to defend his girl, but Ellie calmed him with a motion of her hand.

In an instant Logan released his claws, the sound of sharp adamantium chilling the air. He slashed at the emptiness a few times, getting ooh's and ah's from Kendra and goosebumps to run down Ellie's entire body. Logan growled and Ellie's knees went weak.

Then just as quickly, he sheathed them and walked over to Ellie, closing in on her exposed neck with his mouth. She giggled as his scruffy cheeks hit soft skin.

Kendra, satisfied, resumed eating her fish. "Well, you two animals have fun," she told her friend then curled back up with Mo. "Don't shred the sheets."

Ellie took Logan's hand and led him to the bedroom.

Then she remembered his experience with Dorotea's short lived tiger tirade.

She turned to Kendra, who seemed to read her thoughts.

"It's alright, I've taken my medicine."

Ellie made a kissing sound and McCoy came bursting through the pet door of her bedroom. Logan growled. Ellie gave him a sharp look and reluctantly he stopped. She gave the tiger a pat on the head as she flopped down on the floor beside the couch.

Taking Logan's hand again, she glanced at her watch. Syd would be at practice now and Haken was still at the bar helping Judy. Perfect, they would have the room to themselves. Ellie ran the remaining steps into her bedroom, leaving Logan to stalk in and slam the door.

Kendra sighed as growling, snarling and giggling began to emanate from the room.

She popped another gummy fish into her mouth. She missed the General.
