"It's because you touch me..."

Victor muttered the words almost under his breath, looking away as he did so. She'd asked for compliments, expecting him to come out with another colorful collection of adjectives to describe her body - but instead, he'd come out with this, one of the real reasons why he kept on coming back.

With most women, conquering them was barely even an issue any more. His brute strength and the violent nature of his mutation meant that it was easy to overpower them, to pin them down and force them to do whatever he wanted, even with many mutant females - but with Kitty, strength didn't help him much at all. The nature of her ability allowed her to negate his raw physical power, letting her phase out of his grasp at even the lightest of touches. Gaining even this much of her trust had been something of a challenge. And to have her want to touch him, when most females - human or otherwise - did their best to stay out of his way, then...

...that meant the most of all.
