Go back and read the Other Parts: Choices - Part 4 by 2x2 They stepped outside into the cool night air to await the carriage, both of them silent. Mal swayed in the wind unsteadily, forcing in deep lung fulls of air, feeling slightly nauseas. Inara shivered, her bare arms and midriff prickling with gooseflesh at the chill. She rubbed her arms fruitlessly in an effort to get warm and was startled as she felt Mal’s browncoat suddenly draped over her shoulders.

Touched by his gesture, she drew in a breath to thank him but caught it as her senses were suddenly awash in the heady aroma of the coat – leather; sweat; dust…. And Mal. So much *Mal.* Her eyes fell shut as she took his smell inside her, shivering now for an entirely different reason.

I was goign to throw my computer at him! Oh i Please hurry! More...please?! 
the teaser line said Tensions *mount*, not relase, I'm afraid... and Inara does come to a point where she can no longer deny her need/want for Mal...
I'm not doing this to be mean, I swear! Tht little bastard driving the coach just wouldn't shut up... I had them so, so close!!! I'm nearly as frustrated as you, and believe me, *Mal* is really getting frustrated... if he weren't such an honourable guy, he'dve just grabbed her and kissed her by now, but you know how he is...
But I promise, *promise*, there will be some release, and soon... so please don't abandon me yet... If I have *any* say at all, I'm gonna make these two give in!!
Very nice of the 'giving of brown coat'. Makes him look like a nice old guy instead of...of...;)
But I have to say, nice move for NOT letting them kiss. Personally? I wouldn't kiss a guy that's been retching recently. Just a matter of taste ...lol....
Oh, I won't abandon, I'm having too much damn fun reading this. gotta love tension :-P
***But I promise, *promise*, there will be some release, and soon... so please don't abandon me yet... If I have *any* say at all, I'm gonna make these two give in!!**
LMFAO!!!!
And if Inara does not make her move soon, I'm just going to have to kidnap Mal for myself *grin* Make him brush his teeth after that sickness session
You can't take the sky from me
