A/N: Written for the insatiable terimaru ;o>. This was an off the cuff, on the fly little drabble thing in chat that I tidied up a bit. This was an instance of one of those scenes that just won't get out of your head. I don't know the circumstances, I don't know if this is first time sex, though I think it is, not that this is the way I'd want it to be for them, or maybe it's a dream. I don't know. But the scene would not go away. So I'm sharing it. As always, comments and concrit are greatly appreciated.
Title: The Darkness of Drowning
By: 2x2
The last thing Inara expects as she makes her way to the galley is a slightly drunken Mal suddenly cornering her in the corridor, pushing her up to the wall, eyes smoky and dark.
She stares at him uncertainly; maybe even slightly afraid as he braces himself against the wall, hands on either side of her, nostrils flaring. And there’s no doubt - oh no, she has no doubt - what he’s here for; finds the thought far more arousing than it should be, or that she wants to admit.
She starts to speak, his name half formed but one sharp look from those stormy eyes silences her and she swallows the words. His lips part, not quite a snarl, but close, teeth making a biting motion towards her. And she's caught; not physically held - not yet - but she couldn't move away if her life depended on it.
Very, very slowly, full of dark, sexual aggression, he leans in, smells her skin, her hair, drawing in her scent, almost growling before his teeth suddenly sink into her neck and she startles with a gasp, sucking in a sharp breath, her hands coming up – to push him away? She doesn't know, but he grabs them, shoves them back against the wall forcefully, holding them there as he steps in, bringing his body that much closer to hers, mouth and teeth attacking the skin beneath them.
She's trembling... oh, so trembling, wondering what's happened, what's put him into this mood; wha
I know I've already threatened you for a sequel, but you should be aware, my powers of Nagging and Begging are great and strong!

i'm not usually a 'guh' person, but you've earned it, sweetie. this was just so dark and beautiful, especially the last part. you can just 'see' that tortured expression in mal's eyes. and so very hot! i have a perverse obsession with dark, angsty mal, esp when he's in the 'want, take, have' mode. he's like everything you shouldn't want in a man and yet do lol. anyway, very nice. is there to be more???
You can't take the sky from me
Goldy: You gushed all over me? What the heck was I doin' at the time that I missed it?? *shifty eyed* You could *cough cough* do it again? *wicked grin* And you should be happy to note that I am wracking my brains, trying to suss out what happened before, and what might come after… tyrant ;o> Thanks, darlin'!
Anjulie: Now, don’t go playin' all innocent, you! Is there more… you know I went to bed early(ish) last night, woman! Stop encouraging them!! ;o> I'm glad you liked it, that it was 'still good' after I cleaned it up - grammatically speaking ;o> *hugs*
Kaynara: ooooh, a 'guh'!! heeee! Thank-you! I'm glad that scene was so visual for you. Dark, angsty Mal is WELL worth obsessing over, and *is* definitely hot *G* I'm pleased you enjoyed it, and I'm thinking on a sequel… trying to figure out what might happen next, and what came before… we'll see ;o)
Amdobell: Well, thanks for saying it was well written, but I have to point out that Mal did not rape Inara here. I tried to make that apparent in several lines, particularly that *she* was *letting* him do this – considering she *is* a trained Companion and would fight him if he was trying to take what she wasn't willing to give – how arousing it is, the forbidden desire she feels because it's Mal, that she tries to kiss him, her sounds of pleasure, her anticipation, how good it is, her orgasm…. It may have been dark, and rough, and initiated by Mal, but he didn't rape her or take anything she didn't willingly let him take. Just want to be clear on that.
I think Mal's guilt at the end is well-placed - he probably did not picture ever having sex with Inara pressed against a wall (well, not at least for their first time). And he knows that he didn't ask permission and wasn't particurlarly gentle as he was definitely in a more primal mode. But again, that was pretty damn hot!
Yes, there must be a sequel. I'd like to see Inara follow him back to his bunk - he can't just sex her like that and then slink away - man needs to admit his actions and take the consequence if Inara decides maybe she's gonna take somethin'!
Sequel - I demand a sequel!
I have to admit...I "GUH!"-ed and squeed after reading this. This...this is what two individuals like Mal and Inara are about when it comes to finding a connection: damn the rules, damn propriety and the intricate tango of sexual frustration they are masters at...just open and raw desire and lust and yearning:D
Like the rest of this motley band of n'er-do-wells, I am on bended knee to ask for a sequel. Mal's made the oh-so-hot opening gambit. It's time for the good Ambassador to take the lead for this new dance...and really get it going;D
BEB
"her anticipation, how good it is, her orgasm…."
I'd also like to point out that, while I know this wasn't a rape fic, using the fact that Inara had an orgasam is NOT a way to distinguish rough sex from rape. Rape victims can orgasam during rape - that shouldn't lessen the impact of the crime.
