--------------------

Simon walked through the hallway, intent on dragging Kaylee from the engine room if he had to carry her. He knew it was important to make sure that the engine, and its multiple hundreds of components, were in reliable shape, but he decided it was time for a break. He’d spent too much time off the ship recovering from his injury and during that time, he’d done a lot of thinking. He wanted to tell her how he felt, show her that what he’d said in the midst of battle was not simply said in the heat of the moment – a moment when he thought they were all going to die.

The thought of giving in to his feelings for her no longer held any fear but it still didn’t stop him from rehearsing everything he wanted to do and say over and over in his mind.

“Kaylee?” he called as he reached the doorway.

Kaylee’s head popped over a stack of parts and she smiled brightly when she noticed who had called her name. “Simon!” She bounced over to him, ready to give him a big hug, but when she noticed his tidy clothing, she hesitated.

“What?” he asked, conscious that he’d done something just by walking in the door. This part of their relationship was too new and he’d spent that last few hours thinking about how he would not do anything to mess it up. He desperately wanted to hold her, make love to her. He couldn’t give her wine, flowers or satin sheets, he couldn’t afford them now, but he would make damned sure he made her feel like a queen in their little slice of the ‘verse.

“I didn’ wanna hug ya and get those pretty clothes all dirty.”

Simon glanced down at his relatively casual – compared to what he used to wear –clothing. “They can be washed. I’ve come to escort you to dinner.”

She brightened and launched herself into his arms, kissing him with a passion he had yet to experience.

He held her tightly, sliding his hands into her hair as he deepened the kiss. When the need to breathe dictated they part, she pouted.

“Come on.” Simon took her hand and led her out of the engine room and straight, to her surprise, his bunk.

“Simon?” The confused look on her face made him smile.

“Shh.” He placed a finger over her lips and slid open the door.

Kaylee gasped as she stepped into the room, gazing around with wide, excited eyes.

Dinner was arranged elegantly on the bed, and the lights were dimmed, giving the room a soft, romantic feel. Slow, romantic music echoed through the room.

“Simon –“ Kaylee was at a loss for words as she looked around. She regarded him with a sultry look. “I didn’t know you could cook.”

“I can’t.” Simon grinned. “I enlisted the aid of our lovely Companion to help make you a special dinner.”

“Ohh, the others will be so jealous,” Kaylee’s eyes scanned the food but she made no move to walk towards it.

Simon grinned and led her to the bed. “Not quite the most romantic dinner but –“

Kaylee covered his mouth with a finger. “’s perfect.” Her eyes sparkled and she walked past him to the small wash-basin in the corner of the room and proceeded to remove the dirt and grime from her hands.

Simon appreciatively watched her backside and when she unzipped the overalls and let them hang delectably low on her hips, he exhaled a long, deep breath. He knew he should look away, but he couldn’t help but stare at her with a lovers gaze.

When Kaylee turned around, she shot him a look that sent a sharp jolt of desire straight to his groin.

He could only watch helplessly as she sauntered toward him and flattened her hands against his chest. “Tha chow looks yummy but, “ she stepped back and raked her eyes down his body, “you look far more tasty.”

Simon swallowed hard and simply watched as her fingers nimbly unfastened his shirt and pulled it apart.

“How you look so pretty bein’ a doctor?” She slid the shirt off his arms and he did nothing shrug his shoulders and let it fall to the floor. “I never see ya workin’ out with Jayne.”

Smile grinned wryly. “Sit ups. Push ups.” He lifted his hands and cupped her cheeks. “All of my pent up energy had to go somewhere.”

Kaylee dropped her hands to his waist and trailed a finger under the waistline of his pants. “Coulda found more fun ways to use up that energy.”

Instead of answering, Simon brought her face toward his and kissed her gently. “I couldn’t – not until River –“

Kaylee leaned into his arms and deepened the kiss. Talking was truly the last thing she wanted to do. When they parted, they were breathing heavily.

One last shred of propriety reared its head and Simon whispered, “dinner –“ against her ear.

“I want dessert first.” Kaylee said as she pressed her lips to his jaw.

His hands slid into her hair as her fingers found the fastenings of his pants and let them fall to his ankles. Before he knew what he was doing, he’d lifted her flowery shirt over her head and tossed it on the floor next to his. He couldn’t remember how the food got off the bed, or how they’d removed the rest of their clothes, but soon he was leaning over Kaylee, peppering her face with reverent kisses. He intended to kiss every inch of her, but her insistent movement beneath him broke his concentration. She opened her thighs for him and with a low groan he settled between them.

When she boldly reached between them and slid her hand down the length of him, Simon dropped his head to her neck and took several deep breaths. He wasn’t used to such a bold woman. The women in the Core were too proper and too well bred to take the initiative in such situations. But Kaylee excited him beyond anything he had ever felt for those women and he found himself eager to respond, despite his proper upbringing.

She nipped at his ear, tightened her legs around his hips, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

He knew he should say something, but need and desire drove his body, as well as her insistent hand guiding him, giving Simon no choice but to sink into her welcoming warmth. He groaned into Kaylee’s neck and smiled when she whimpered beneath him in her own pleasured reaction to their union.

Kaylee clutched at his shoulders as he began to move, instinct propelling him to do something, anything, but just lay there. He tried to prolong the moment; this long-awaited first time. But the desire coursing through his blood refused to allow the pace to be anything but quick. His hips arched roughly against hers as she met him thrust for thrust, mewling beneath him as the familiar tension wound a coil around their bodies that could snap at any moment.

In the past, these moments had been punctuated by romantic words, sweet, languid kisses to well-known erogenous zones. But Simon had never been able to talk to Kaylee without stammering embarrassingly and he wanted nothing more right now than to reach heaven in her arms – and to take her there with him. There would be time later for sweet exploration.

Kaylee dragged her nails down his back and was rewarded with a sharp hiss of surprise from the man above her. Simon’s mouth found hers again and they drank hungrily from one another as the romantic music played unendingly around them.

Simon slid his hands beneath her hips and rolled onto his back, bringing Kaylee astride him without breaking their intimate connection. He grinned, his eyes clouded with passion, when her swollen lips parted in surprise at his sudden movement. With one hand, he squeezed her backside, and with the other he slid between them, searching for that hidden treasure that would send her spiraling over the edge. When he found it, Kaylee gasped and thrust her hips harder against him.

“Ta ma duh!” Kaylee cried as a shudder of delight rushed through her body and straight into Simon’s.

He forced himself to wait for her, a control he would not have thought possible while her sweet, tight body enveloped him, pulsed around him. But as she fell against his chest, panting heavily, he groaned deeply into her mouth, following her into a rapturous release.

Kaylee snuggled against him, burying her face into his neck and moaning delightedly. She draped a leg over his thigh and flattened one hand atop his chest, fingers making small circles against his damp skin.

His arm tightened around her, holding her gently against his side as their breathing normalized. With a still trembling hand, he gently brushed the damp hair off her neck. He trailed his fingers along the soft nape, over her shoulder and down her arm, his desire to touch her still great. He absently rubbed the small of her back in small, gentle circles, before rubbing upward with a gentle, but firm pressure. He smiled as he felt her sigh contentedly at his touch. It encouraged him, and he continued, touching and caressing whatever damp skin he could reach.

“Shoulda known a doctor’s hands’d be so gentle,” Kaylee whispered as she lifted her head. Her eyes drooped tiredly as she gazed at him, but her face betrayed the serene contentment she felt lying in his arms. “Mmm. You know every spot –“ She fell silent, returned her head to his chest, and simply enjoyed his gentle touch.

“We are required to have a working knowledge of the body, after all.” His fingers continued to gently brush across her skin, moving upward until he began to trace the swell of her breast where it pressed against him.

“Mmm,” Kaylee whimpered, shivering as her skin pebbled beneath his touch. “That feels good.”

Simon gazed down at the woman in his arms feeling a swell of emotion flood his body. How he’d resisted this for the last eight months was a mystery to him. It felt so right lying here with her, holding her, kissing her, loving her. When she looked up at him, her eyes danced and his heart fluttered. With his free hand, he brought her lips to his and kissed her, their mouths clinging as they sought make up for lost time.

When they parted, Kaylee trailed her fingers over his side, across the scar that would forever remind her how close she came to losing him. The Alliance medical team had patched him up good. The scar was barely visible. But she knew it was there, and so did he. It served as a reminder of just how precious life really was.

His hand came down over hers and squeezed gently. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and tightened his arm around her, wanting to shut out the outside world. They lay in silence for a few moments before guilt began to creep into his thoughts.

“We should get up. There’s a lot of work to be done.” Simon said, his voice soft, tender, but it held little conviction.

“I ‘spose,” Kaylee rubbed her cheek against his shoulder.

“It’s not really fair for us to spend all day in bed when everyone else is working hard to get Serenity running again.” Simon sighed. “As much as I really want to spend all day in bed with you.”

“I been tryin’ for months,” Kaylee said.

He could feel her smile into her shoulder. “As River so aptly puts it, I’m a boob.”

Kaylee giggled then and Simon gently rubbed her back and then tilted her chin so he could look into her eyes. “Later?”

A playful smile spread across her face as she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. “Oh yeah. This time, we’ll do it my way.”

His mind slid back to the quick pace of this last time and he arched an amused eyebrow. “And this time wasn’t?”

Kaylee didn’t answer but simply shot him a sultry look that sent a tendril of desire straight down his spine. She reluctantly slid out of his arms and bent to retrieve her clothes, ignoring the curious look he gave her while she did so.

As she dressed, he watched her, wishing they could simply spend the rest of the day in bed. It wasn’t possible, as the Captain wanted to get off this planet as soon as Serenity was space worthy again. The brush of her hair against his chest as she leaned over him brought his eyes back to hers, and he felt the heat rush up his neck when he realized he’d been caught staring at her.

Kaylee kissed his lips gently. When they parted, her eyes twinkled mischievously. “When yer done tidyin’ up the infirmary, I’ll have plenty of work for ya in the engine room.”

Simon raised a curious eyebrow but she kissed him once more and moved to the door. Her eyes raking down his bare chest, she slid open the door and said, “It’ll be hot in there until I fix the coolant system, don’t bother with a shirt,” before disappearing out of his room, an energetic bounce to her step.
