"Me too," she answered quietly.
She laid there close to him for a good ten minutes before she spoke.
"Do you want to talk?" she asked him, not turning at all to see the look on his face. "I know it was a lot to take in."
She waited for a moment.
"So now you know that I am broken and sullied," she said to him. "How do you feel about that?
"I don't know how I would feel if I were you," she confessed. "I fought for a while, but after the whip, I just had to let them.
"I probably should have fought more. Maybe even died to avoid it all, but I was weak. I wanted to live. I wanted to bear it all until I could see a way to escape.
"So I just let them... any of his people... I just let them have me."
Then she was done. She had talked about it enough today.
She heard a voice inside her head. Tommy's voice. One that reminded her that it wasn't her fault and she only did what she did to stay alive.
She knew that. She knew that she wasn't responsible for what they did. She just felt a sorry about the way she let them after a while.
But hers and Tommy's opinions were one thing. Pain's were a whole other story.

"She was callin' out to her. She called her Serena 'sweety.' She obviously cared for whoever this was," Kaylee relayed to her. "She got real upset when she didn't answer us back. Whatever it was, River was pitching a fit by that time and Simon had to drug her to calm her down."
Jacey slowly digested that last comment.
"Who's River and why was she so upset that she needed medication?" Jacey asked. Kaylee froze under the engine. "Do you think I could talk to her?"
Kaylee forgot that Jacey didn't know River's background. She just wanted to help Ivy and in the process told a total stranger about River.
"River is Simon's sister," she said evenly. "You'd have to ask him for permission."
She slid out from under the engine and quickly wiped downher hands.
"Uh... I uh... I have to go," Kaylee said before she made a hasty exit, leaving Jacey standing in the engine room alone.
"Interesting..." Jacey mused. Something was off when it came to this girl named River. Maybe she could find out more about Ivy by talking to River.

Pain rested his head against Ivy's shoulder as they laid there in bed cuddling. They didn't say anything to one another for what felt like an eternity and then finally Ivy spoke.

"It was, darlin'." replied Pain, giving Ivy's shoulder a kiss. "But if'n it'll help make you feel better, then yes, I'd like to talk."
Pain then waited anxiously for Ivy to respond.

Pain listened intently as Ivy spoke, letting each word settle into his brain. When she was done, Pain hugged her tight and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"It wasn't your fault, baobei. You did what you had to do in order to survive." he told her. "I'm very grateful that you escaped that monster and his men. Otherwise I wouldn't have you in my life. What they did to you and the others was terrible. And believe you me, if'n I ever get my hands on them, I'll make sure they'll never hurt anyone ever again. You have my word on that."

"But do you still want me? You know... in an intimate way now that you know about what I had to do?" she asked, dreading the answer if it was not to her liking.
His statement bothered her though. She had never thought about them ever getting close to her again. Were they still looking for her? If they found her, what would happen? She never really thought about it. She shuddered a bit.
"You don't think they'd be looking for me, do you? My master and his people?" she asked him in a small wavering voice.

"Yes, of course, baby. Why wouldn't I be?" replied Pain in a genuine tone. "You are my goddess and I am you worshiper."

"I wouldn't worry about them." replied Pain as he did his best to soothe Ivy's nerves. "They've probably forgotten about you already."
Pain hoped that last bit was true. He really didn't want her worrying about and going into a meltdown over it.

"I'm glad," she said turning towards him.

She wasn't convinced of his assessment about her Master, but she went back to the first part of their conversation.
"If you believe that I am your goddess," she started. "Then I want you to worship me... right now. Can you do that? I'd understand if you won't."

Pain didn't even answer Ivy as he leaned in and began to kiss her passionately. It didn't take long before his hands began to roam her body and then position himself over her while they kissed. As their mouths departed, Pain murmured with a smile, "I sure hope you've got the time for this, cause I ain't goin' anywhere for a long while, baobei."
He then uttered a guttural growl and went to work worshiping Ivy like the goddess she was.

Rated ADULT: yada yada... you know the rules.
Select to view spoiler:
Pain began to kiss her passionately, their tongues exploring the depths of each other's mouths. Ivy already began to breathe harder, Pain had stirred longings in her.
But when he started too nudge her legs apart, she stiffened. Pain stopped immediately and rolled to her side, continuing to kiss her jawline and neck.
"Don't be afraid. I won't do anything unless you want me to," he whispered into her ear. "I just want you so much. And Ivy?"
He lifted his head and brought his eyes to hers.
"I love you bao bei," he told her. "You know that, right?"
Ivy nodded and they touched and kissed tenderly and slowly. Pain was so patient.
"Just tell me when," he said. "It's OK if you changed your mind. I won't be mad. We are on your schedule."
Ivy nodded as his hands roamed her body, when she was ready, she rolled him onto his back and straddled him.
She nodded again and she slowly began to make love with her man.

Jacey wandered back towards the galley and was met face to face with a young girl in the doorway.
"I am the pilot here," she simply said. "Follow me. I am better, Simon needs not get involved."
"O...OK," Jacey said as she followed the girl up and into the bridge. "Are you River by chance?"
"Yes," she saimply said. "You want to know about Ivy."
She didn't address it as a question. It was simply a statement of fact.
"I know things. Simon has called it perception in the past," she admitted. "It is more. But I know you are Inara's friend and based on your past together, you would give her complete loyalty."
Past together? Jacey thought.
"And it is unfortunate what happened to you," River continued.
"Inara told you?" Jacey asked, astounded. She had sworn Inara to secrecy. She was both shocked and angered that Inara would do such a thing.
River smiled at her.
"Inara didn't tell," she reassured her. She tapped her brain. "Perceptive remember?"
Jacey smiled a bit, it was a little forced, but she still did it.
"I tried to connect with Ivy once, but she wouldn't share what happened. It was big though. Far worse than what she endured in the hands of her... Master," Rivers words dripped disdain at the mention of the man who defiled Ivy. "I did manage to... get... that it had to do with fire... and gunfire."
"Fire? There was a burned out building on the compound where she was found," Jacey mused aloud. "And gunfire? Did she say anything about someone named Serena?"
River smiled again at the notice that Jacey thought she was talking about a conversation, not that there was a possibility of her psychic powers. She got a haunted look on her face for a moment.
"Serena... she was a friend," River said. "Ivy was very protective of that fact and Tommy was angry when I found out. Tommy is very strong. And dangerous..."
She rolled her eyes.
"And it seems that Pain and Ivy have made up," she giggled. "Eewww."
Jacey turned towards the hallway. She looked down toards their bunk a bit confused.
"How did you know...?" she started. "I didn't hear anything..."
She shrugged, thinking that River found out about that earlier. Perhaps she saw them heading into their cabin?
"And what do you mean about Tommy being dangerous? Do you mean violent?"
River nodded.
"She and John had an... altercation," River revealed, but didn't allude to how or John's abilities either. "But I doubt he'll talk to you now. He's got his hands full with his brother."
River was silent then and went to check the controls.
"Ivy... horrible... horrible what happened... Confusion and horror. Memory very clear, Elephant hiding from a mouse..."
Jacey was profoundly confused now about River's comments. But River was silent after that. She could tell by her body language that she wouldn't talk more. River seemed haunted too. There was a story there as well. One she thought she could help with, but one patient at a time.

Pain and Ivy's Bunk: Much much later..
Ivy rested atop of Pain, their bodies entwined as they rested from the proclamations of their love. As Ivy listened to Pain's heartbeat through his chest, he gently stroked her back and sides.
Time was meaningless to them as they laid there in their bed, cuddling and being close to one another. They didn't care that they had reached their destination and landed on the ground. They didn't even bother to listen to the Captain's voice over the comm asking for Pain.
Pain was content on staying in his bunk with Ivy. The others could handle the job well without him. His only focus right now was the beautiful blond haired, green eyed, naked woman that he loved dearly who was resting on top of him.
"I love you, Ivy.." he murmured with a smile while continuing to caress her sides and back.
