As the credits rolled up on to the wide screen TV, neither moved or spoke not wanting to break the moment, not wanting the night to end. It was inevitable really. Nothing ever happened. It was like being stuck in limbo, not sure what to do, as if they believed that everything would stop if they took that step forward.
It happened every night, at least when they weren't on base or off world. He'd come to her place and it was always that way. She never went to him. Sure she'd wanted t, god had she wanted to but she couldn't for a whole number of reasons all of which had no real significance but she'd called him, making up a reason for him to come round but they both always knew why.
He shifted slightly on the couch, making himself comfortable. He lay on his back with her body draped over his as she listened to the rhythmic beat of his heart and felt the steady rise of his chest. She closed her eyes breathing in his scent, the smell of coffee and artifacts.
"Janet..."
They never spoke. Never. Someone always called or Cassie would come home and he'd leave but they usually waited for the inevitable interruptions. They never spoke.
"Yeah..." She lifted her head so she could look at him as his right hand came up and lightly caressed her face, his head rose slightly as his lips descended on to hers. Her breath caught for a moment as she reveled in the feel of his lips touching hers, so gentle and
sweet.
His tongue ran across her lips in a silent request for entrance, her mouth opened over his as his tongue explored her mouth, her hands lay firmly on his chest as his left hand ran up the back of her legs pulling her against him. She pulled her lips away, breathing deeply.
"Bedroom."
As soon as they were standing, Daniel grasped her hand and led her towards the bedroom. His lips were on hers as soon as the door closed, his lips moved with such passion against her lips, jaw line and neck and she was left breathless.
*Ring Ring*
Daniels forehead fell against hers. They were finally taking that step forward, and then this. But as she'd already said it was inevitable.
"Let the machine get it."
"It's probably Cassie, I have to get it Daniel."
He let her go, his eyes following her as she sat down on the bed and picked up the receiver.
"Hello...Hey sweetie...oh...no...no...that's ok...yeah sure that's fine. Ok...you too. Bye"
"So..." He asked walking towards her, Janet stood her arms wrapping around his neck as his arms encircled her waist. He lips brushed lightly against his.
"Janet, are you sure?"
She nodded, pulling his head down for a more passionate encounter as his hand searched for the light switch. They made love in the light of the moon as its rays seeped into the bedroom from the window. Outside all passed, as it should.
