26.Corset
Kaylee’s face turned white as Inara stood behind her and laced up the pretty little death trap. “’Nara,” the mechanic gasped, trying to catch her breath. “How – does one – breathe in these – things?” Kaylee flattened her hands on her stomach, which was now so firm she was certain a bullet would bounce off it, and groaned.
“They take a bit of time to get used to, sweetie, but they give you great posture and –“
“I’m gonna faint ‘fore I even make it down the stairs.”
Inara chuckled delicately as Kaylee stared at her incredibly small waist in the mirror.
“How’m I supposed to eat anything in this?” Kaylee tried to take a deep breath but it hitched in her throat. “Simon’s gonna think I’m sick or somethin’.”
“You’ll be fine, mei mei.” Inara helped her into the deep green silk dress and then stepped back to survey her handiwork. “You’re so beautiful. Simon won’t know what say when he sees you.”
Kaylee paled even further. “Oh, ‘Nara. he don’t need no help in not knowin’ what to say.”
“Oh, sweetie,” Inara rubbed Kaylee’s silk-clad shoulders. “This is the kind of speechlessness you want out of that man.”
Kaylee smoothed the fancy emerald fabric. “This what they wear in the Core at them fancy parties?”
“This style of dress is considered to be very elegant, yes.”
“Good thing Simon’s a doc, I’m gonna need mouth to mouth by the end of the night.” Kaylee tried to take another deep breath and failed. “An’ I don’t need to pretend to be dyin’ no more to get him to give me that!”
Inara’s eyes twinkled. “Well, you have something to look forward to at the end of the night then.”
Kaylee tried to laugh but groaned as he
Great characterization, btw. And the corset was an interesting touch, too. It hadn't even occurred to me when I thought of Kaylee out of place in something that Inara would wear.
And show of hands; Who else finds it hilarious, and yet extremely disturbing, whenever River has commentary on Kaylee and Simon's sex life?
I'd like another show of hands as to who would like a sequel - I'd like to know just how adept Simon is at removing that corset ... any takers?
“They won’t even make it to dinner.”
Those crazy kids....Maybe they could have a second date where they actually get to eat....
the characters were scrumciouly perfect, especially kaylee. s'cool that all she's worried about is food!
It's a good thing they won't make it until dinner. It'd be no fair to go for a nice meal (which, given Simon's status and the general cash flow on the ship, can't be too often) and not get to eat any of it. Besides, if Simon consents to let her lose the corset and buy a strawberry dessert, I'm sure it'd be worth his while. ;)
You can't take the sky from me
~ BWAHAHAH !!!
“He prefers it when you wear nothing.”
~ Yay for blunt River
“And how long do you think –“
“They won’t even make it to dinner.”
~ Double yay for more River
“They won’t even make it to dinner.”
LMAO
