“Stop laughing this instant.”
“I--I’m trying!”
“That’s what it’s called! That’s the name for the ‘pinkish part.’ ”
“Oh, I believe you. I just--just....” He bent forward at the waist, shoulders shaking.
“I’m serious, Mal. Keep this up, and I’m putting on my dress.” Her lips twitched. She would *not* smile. “Dammit, Mal. This isn’t funny.”
“Just...say that word again.”
“Mal....”
“Please? I’ve had a ruttin’ sucky day, darlin’.”
She sighed, rolled dark-chocolate eyes at the ceiling.
“If I say it...you’ll stop laughing?”
“Cross my heart.”
She said it quickly, under her breath.
He clutched his ribs, almost crying now.
“Malcom Reynolds!”
“I’m sorry.” He blotted the corners of his eyes where the tears were forming. “Ain’t you I’m laughin’ at, honest.”
“There’s no one else here!”
“Well, no, there’s me. Darlin’, I ain’t any good at....” He sighed, smiled ruefully. “You are awful pretty, Miz Serra.”
His eyes danced down her bare shoulders, taking in the curve of her breasts, the swatch of lace between her thighs. Sweet Ye su, he missed touchin’ her.
She smiled in spite of herself.
“Do you want me to start?”
“No, no. I can do this.”
He glanced quickly at the door to ensure it was locked. Didn’t matter none anyway, whole abbey was long in dreamland.
“Am I allowed to open my eyes this time?”
“Let’s not get crazy. Okay, so I’m kissing you now. My mouth’s movin’ down your neck, suckling at that sweet spot just under your ear. And you, well you’re doin’ that sexy little whimper thing--yep, that’s the one.” He was starting to get more than a mite aroused. “Now I’m, uh, kissing your, um...breasts? Yup, definitely doin’ some of that.” Was a sweetheart, that one: didn’t even tease him for stammering. “My tongue...my tongue swirls ‘round your
>Kaylee being a week late--What? Wait. Go back a second, mei mei.”
This was such a great chapter. Kaylee's discussion with Jayne was nice and the cortex sex.....bwahahaaha. Is this also a keep Inara in the dark list! ha! So many good moments. Even Jayne and River. Missed a Simon scene though :(
Post more soon! I'm definitely hooked on the story:)
Cortex sex... areola!!! Bwahhahaa!
Mal's contemplation on Inara's profession, because of Emmy... wonderin' if she missed it, and Inara tellin' him exactly what she *didn't* miss... Mal's gonna come out of this endeavor a changed man I think... (if he comes out, of course, more on that in a moment)
I loved the Book dream/spirit conversation... and Mal contacting Emmy! WOAH that is gonna be one interesting meetin'....
And that hun dan Badger!!! Shakin' down a church... I didn't think even Badger would stoop that low... ruttin' bugger... and I'm wishin alll sorts of pain on his person right now for doin't that to Mal... poor Mal, always tryin' to make right, and always payin' for it in the worst ways... Gideon better ruttin' find him or something, since it's his gorram fault really...
Love the list of things not to tell Mal!!! And ... the very last line Oh go suh! hehehehee....
oh, and Zoe wantin' Inara to be her baby's godmamma... so sweet.. but it's all manner of unsettlin' the danger she's playin' with....
More moremore!!! and more! and just because... More!!
I nearly teared up at the part with Jayne and Kaylee. I'm wondering how this thing with River will turn out. I like your Jayne, rough on the outside, but just a little softness/conscience on the inside. And always like the hints of Jaylee and unrequited love (angst is addictive).
Okay, I'm rattling... Oh! And so good to see Book! I wondered why we never got to see him and yet Wash pops up all the time.
I'm wondering what will happen with Gideon, is he a candidate for the abbey or will he become part of the crew (and maybe a return to a relationship with one of the women)? Hey, didn't he and River...you know? I'm wondering why Jayne is thinking he's the first didn't they have a conversation about that once?
Okay, shutting up now. Can you tell I love this series?!
The Mal/Inara...hells yeah that rocked! I just love it when he calls her "kitten" and the areole bit made me giggle. Very well done.
Good job with Mal's dream of Book too. More unanswered questions, Book's trademark.
Always look foward to reading this one. You do all the characters so well.

‘Things We Ain’t Telling The Captain About When He Waves,’ *giggle*
I might be confused, trying to keep up with so many stories, but didn't River and Gideon have a thing once? How can Jayne be her first?
I love the letters from Mal's dad too.
I thought I'd post a quick note because of the Rayne confusion. Gideon and River did have sex, which Jayne does know. But they were only together that one time, and River described the experience as painful on several levels. Since this is only her second time, both River and Jayne expect it to be somewhat painful as well. Of course, not all pain is physical, and the characters are referencing future emotional hurts as well as the physical pain of the act itself. Hope that makes a little more sense. And hope you're all still enjoying!
Thanks for reading,

First off...loved the Mal/Inara Cortex sex attempt and Mal laughing his pigu off trying to get "areola" out (which I think would be kinda hard for a guy to do....just seems a might flowery for an honestly wonderful spot).
Secondly, heart just broke with the Zoe/Inara scene, especialy the end part with Inara helping Zoe take the drug so she can be with Wash....so sad and angsty;(
Jaylee scene....yeah, can imagine this going on. Jayne seems to care for Kaylee and knowing she's with Simon would hurt royally. Unrequited love kinda sucks, though I am glad he can at least make an attempt at moving on;)
Book/Mal dream sequence: oh so Joss-like in it's banter and hidden meanings. Can imagine a scene like this being in a BDSequel betwenn the Captain and Book:D
Quentin's letter to Mal: been finding these letters a wonderful link between Mal and his dad, espcially when Mal has been unintentionally aping his father in certain ways. The ESB-style wisdom from those who have came before works real well here:)
Gideon's defence of Brother Marty/Mal's meeting with Badger: honestly, these two are like complete numb nuggets with their attempts at protection and martyrdom. I seriously hope Gideon or someone else finds Mal ASAP cuz he's already come close to the BDN (Big Dirt Nap) twice before. Though Badger shaking down a church....doesn't seem quite right for some reason in my mind....guess cuz Joss and Mark (Sheppard) had Badger as a more Lando-like "businessman" than Jabba the Hutt.
And the Kaylee/Inara, "Don't tell Mal" scene? Comic gold, especially the Fight Clubesque repeat of Point #1 as Point #2 and the last bit with Kaylee sneaking in a notice of her possible pregnancy....spot on:)
BEB
P.S. Sorry about the SW references....just seem appropriate for my thoughts:P
You can't take the sky from me
The cortexsex was great, giggled waaay too much!
And aww poor Zoë!
Great chapter!
CCke (too lazy to log in again...)
Comedy genius aplenty... Loving this chapter.
On an irrelevant note... did you know that if you put 'strange bedfellows', 'bedlam' and 'bed and wine' into one text file it is 207695 words long and covers 461pages of size 8 type.
Wow!
Mal and Inara babies have to be coming too!

Why 'go suh' in the end... What's gonna happen?
*hopes it's something cool like Inara realising she's being a week late too*
Still, loved the chapter!

I can't wait for the next one. Keep it up.
The list is so perfect and very Kaylee. Hee Hee

“Can sit down,” he offered, smoothing the thin blanket out over rumpled bedclothes...“If you say so.” His voice was rough, his hands gentle as he lifted her up like a doll, carried her the few feet to his bunk.
just curious is all
