Author’s Note: Part of my still unnamed Jack/Inara series. I’m actually going to try and finish this table on this up on the last half of these drabbles I have to do. Which wasn’t what I originally wanted to do with the table, but … just writing them at all at this point would make me happy.

They didn’t have a lot of time.

They never really had as much time as either of them would have liked, but here they really had no time. She was supposed to be working, he wasn’t even supposed to be there. And yet there he was, wearing that damn coat-the one she was currently using to tug him closer-looking like a blessing.

“Atherton Wing?” he murmured, his weight leaning into her as he pushed her up against the wall of the closet. “Really?”

“Be quiet,” she ordered, leaning in to kiss him again, just wanting to focus on the feeling of having someone she wanted pressed against her, and try to push Atherton’s dismissive attitude out of her mind. Atherton hired companions to feed his own sense of self. Jack treated her like she was a person, revered her even. He was starting to spoil her for all her other clients.

But he did as he was told and just kissed her, pushing her up against the wall as hands slipped between fabrics to find skin. It was over before it even started, dissolving into a moment of heavy breathing and rushed motions, just soaking in the moment of being together. There would be more later, when they had more time to just enjoy each other. But for right now, they were taking what they could get.

He pulled back from her slowly, with one last slow, lingering kiss. “I’ll see you back on the shuttle.”

She smiled softly, readjusting her clothing, before moving to exit the closet ahead of him. “Don’t wait up.”
