Chapter 7
Inara sat on the couch, a picture of elegance as Kaylee told her about her evening in more explicit detail than she ever truly expected. “’Nara, he’s not like nothin’ I’ve ever had before. He’s so swai and –“
“Yes, I remember that comment on Jiangyin.” Inara’s eyes danced. “How swai you thought he was. How you wanted to –“
“Kiss him all over,” Kaylee finished with a dreamy sigh.
Inara couldn’t suppress a girlish giggle. “So it was all you expected it to be?”
Kaylee sighed contentedly and hugged herself. “So much more.”
“Well, I’ll admit to being very surprised that you got him to move so fast.”
“Oh, ‘Nara,” Kaylee curled her legs beneath her and sighed. “As soon as I got through to him, he was so different.”
Inara nodded with a knowing smile. “That’s usually the case.”
“He’s just so – wow.” Kaylee’s voice had taken on a dream-like quality. “But he doesn’t want anyone to know. Not yet. Thinks the Capn’ll space ‘em.”
Inara laughed. “Oh, I doubt that very much.”
“’S what I said, but I gave in. We can sneak around for as long as he wants.”
Inara giggled very un Companion-like at the thought of the prim and proper doctor stalking through the walkways in any state of dress or undress. “Well, I’m glad it was all you wanted it to be.”
Kaylee nodded as a small, shy smile crept across her face. “Each and every time.”
Inara raised a curious eyebrow. “More than once, hmm?”
Kaylee held up five fingers.
“You two were busy last night.” Inara laughed, her sweet voice echoing around the shuttle. “Did you sleep at all?”
“A bit,” Kaylee admitted with a dreamy smile.
“Ahh, to be twenty-five again,” Inara laughed at a secret joke. “Make sure Mal never finds out. He’d probably be jealous and toss Simon into the airlock without benefit of a suit.”
Kaylee’s mouth twisted into a concerned smile. “Why?”
“Men tend to have performance issues and Mal is a good ten years older than –“
Kaylee was quick to defend her man. “Oh, Simon definitely doesn’t have t
Yay, firsties!
Not tellin' :)
>I'm still wondering what is going to happen when Simon has to deliver the goods,
Well, my beta read that part and told me she hadn't seen that coming so...hopefully everyone else will think the same.
>and could you get to the trunk already!:D
All that was in it were nice clothes. It's not mentioned again. Obviously, Alexandra had a reason for giving Simon and his lady some nice things....
>Here comes the angst...no this chapter was so sad and sweet.
You think THIS chapter was the angst? Oh, heh, not even close...but yes, its coming fairly soon. Next chapter is a funny one...then the hurtin' begins...
Awww how cute that they're sneaking around :) And how Simon pulled Kaylee in as she was about to knock... SWEET! And *gulps* on the angst coming up, as long as you don't break'em up, which I just can't see you doing, I'm sure I can handle whatever it is :)

And apparently, so is Kaylee, sorry couldn't resist
Odd indeed, sad but true.
Poor little River, probably upset about Alexandra's cargo, and with good reason.
