Notes: Okay, I almost didn’t write this chapter, but chocolate does wonders to my muse, really. I don’t know if it turned out as good as I wanted it to, but oh well. I tried lol It has a hell of a cliffhanger in the end though, I’ll tell you that much. It’s pretty short, and again, if you find typos, I’m SORRY, and feel free to correct me if you like, but so far I’ve gotten no nibbles or offers to be my beta. How sad, how sad!
Author’s joke
A room full of people sitting on chairs, a banner on top of the entrance that says “Firefly Addicts Anonymous”. A man with a bright smile, large forehead, and brownish, with a hint of red, takes the podium. “Welcome everyone to the FAA. It’s been a fun week, especially the part where we crashed a FOX party, got them all drunk, drugged them, then took all their clothes off, burned them and left them with some children sized pink tutu’s so they could cover themselves. Ah yes, good times” he says with a grin.
“Well, it’s about that time again. Let’s invite, and congratulate, Lux for her speedy recovery” he says as Lux jumps onto the podium with a big smile on her face. She’s wearing jeans and a T-shirt with River on it that says ‘No power in the ‘verse can stop me’ Lux smiles at the crowd as if they were applauding, but they aren’t, and walks to the host planting a huge kiss on his lips. The host stares at her dumbfounded as soon as she lets him go.
“Hello everyone! Well, today, as you can see, I’m in a chipper mood! I almost didn’t write this chapter today, woke up like at 3PM and didn’t feel like writing. Spent most of the day playing Cake Mania and Bejeweled, but three reeses peanut butter cups later, I started writing. Candy is GOOD! I want to thank everyone for sticking by me through my readings. You guys know who you are. Those who just adore my freaky sense of humor and those sexually frustrated that just melt at every erotic scene I write. Thank you! It really means a lot to me, and if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even be continuing it, but as I said before, it’s about to get interesting, and someone’s going to die. I also want to apologize for not giving Jayne a lot of lines, but every time I write for him, I feel like I’m doing 1000 things wrong and I end up hitting backspace like crazy, so I do what I can. Anyway, here’s the new chapter, enjoy!”
The host stares at her blankly and walks towards the guy who he always talks to. “Is she doing happy pills?” the host asks. “Nah, she’s just excited I guess” he said with a grin. “What about? This isn’t an award show, what is she, crazy?” he asks. He sighs. “Just wait till she finishes, and you’ll see” he says with a grin.
Embracing Love
River smiled feeling the strong arms resting around her body and joined on her stomach. She could feel him breathing on her neck, his chest tickling her back with every breath he took. She let her hands fall on his, feeling the roughness of them, knowing what those hands had been through to get to where they were now. Now they were hers. Mal groaned as he felt her touch his hands.
“Mornin’” he said as he pulled her closer to him, which River thought was impossible, but apparently he didn’t.
“Morning” she said with a smile as he breathed into her hair, inhaling her scent and kissing the back of her neck. She shuddered and tilted her head back to meet his face. He brushed his lips against hers, then kissed her gently, taking his time, taking each lip between his, one at a time.
“Damn it” she whispered making his eyes flash open curiously.
“What?” he asked.
“Simon” she said with a sigh. She had been so involved with the man holding her that she had actually blocked out the voices, or at least, ignored them. Now she could hear him, clear as day, wondering where she was and searching for her. River smiled when Mal cursed in response and groaned.
“Are you gonna tell him?” he asked. River pondered the thought for a moment and turned around on the bed to face him. She placed her hand on his cheek, caressing it as he moved his face just enough to plant a kiss on her fingertips. She smiled and closed her eyes. She would have given herself to him again right at that moment if it wasn’t for the fact that she could hear them in her head.
“Have to.” she said getting out of the bed before she wouldn’t be able to stop herself. She bent down to pick up her dress from the floor, and grinned once she picked up a thought from his mind.
“Another time” she said looking back at him with a mischievous smile.
“I’ll hold ya to that, bao bay” he said standing up and getting dressed as well. She waited for him, lying next to the ladder with a content smile on her face. She had to admit, her body did ache a little, and she had noticed a red mark on the bed when he had stood up from it, but she didn’t mind. Last night was the best night of her life and nothing would ruin that. She had finally gotten him to let her in and he had finally let it happen.
“What you smilin’ at, bao bay?” he asked finally catching the dreamy look on her face.
“You” she said with a grin on her face as the image of them making love replayed vividly in her mind. He grinned as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Right then Zoe’s voice could be heard in the intercom.
“Captain, we got a problem” she said. River sighed.
“Simon” she said.
“Let me go out first” he said giving her one final kiss as he climbed onto the ladder.
“Thought it was supposed to be ladies first” she said with a grin as she followed him.
“Times change, bao bay. Now it’s mean old men first” he said with a smile as he waited for her to finish climbing and extended his hand for her to take. She did.
“Mean, maybe. Old, never” she said with a grin as he stepped out. There was Zoe outside, but no Simon. Zoe smiled once she caught a look at River who was standing behind Mal.
“Doctor’s looking for her” she said.
“We know” he said, and just in that moment, Simon arrived with Kaylee behind him.
“Captain, River’s missing-” he said, about to add words to his sentence, until River stepped out from behind Mal. It took a moment for Simon to process his thoughts into one single file. They had searched everywhere for River, every little hiding place inside the ship, except the Captain’s quarters.
“Look, we can act like grown folk-” Mal was about to finish his though, having taken a look at River as he said this, and when he directed his eyes to where Simon stood, all he saw was a fist landing on his face. Mal cursed as he fell to his feet, River bending at his side.
“Or not” he said touching his jaw.
“YOU SON OF A WHORE! SHE’S JUST A KID!” Simon yelled. Mal sighed, remembering the last time the man’s fist had met his face, hearing those same words, and really not feeling like letting it go. He stood up and, before he could grab the good doctor, push him against the wall and give him a little beating, he was surprised to see River had beaten him to it.
She hadn’t hit him. She loved her brother, how could she dare hurt him? But something about him calling her a kid made her snap and she pushed him against the wall. She wasn’t pinning him there with her hands, just with her gaze, and Simon couldn’t move. He was in shock. He had expected Mal to do something to him, but not River.
“Not a child. Don’t need to be protected, don’t need to be treated like a child, don’t need approval, don’t need anything, just want. Want you to trust me, want you to believe in me, want you to let me make decisions, and want you to love me for it” she said angrily, as if the words were hacking away at her skin.
“I- I do love you, mei mei” he whispered. She read his thoughts and sighed as she pulled him into a hug.
“Love you too… Very much… But please, trust me” she said.
“But why him?” he whispered,
“Hey, I heard that” said Mal, taking a bit of an offense to the remark.
“Don’t need to explain. My decision, remember? Let me make them. Trust me.” she said as she let him go so he could see the sincerity in her eyes. He sighed, nodded and glared at Mal.
“If you… hurt her… in any way” he said, looking as if he was saying less than he wanted to, “I will kill you. I’m a doctor, I can make it slow and painful, and you won’t even know what hit you until you’re dead” he said and stormed out of the fore passage. Kaylee smiled at the Captain and winked at River.
“Guess that means you’re gonna be makin’ a sign for the Bridge door, right??” asked Kaylee teasingly as she walked backwards and didn’t wait for an answer as she followed Simon.
Mal looked at Zoe. “Well, you got somethin’ to say?” he asked crossing his arms.
“About time, sir. About time” she said as she walked off to the dining area. River sighed and gave a light chuckle.
“What are you laughin’ ‘bout?” he asked pulling her to him by wrapping his arms around her tiny waist.
“Jayne” she said. He looked at her curiously.
“What ‘bout Jayne?” he asked.
“Kaylee told him. He thinks you’re *fucking nuts*” she said, quoting his exact phrase.
~*~*~*~
River could not match the amount of happiness she had felt in her life to the amount of happiness she had felt in that one day. It was the first breakfast that she had eaten when everyone knew why she was smiling, and this time, why the captain was smiling with her, although he, unlike her, was really trying to contain it. For the sake of Simon, at least.
River found herself dancing as Mal and Zoe were at the bridge. Simon decided to take comfort in the fact that he hadn’t seen his sister so happy in a very long time. He even laughed when River grabbed Kaylee by force and made her dance with her.
“Looks like they’re havin’ fun” said Mal who had come to see how River was doing. Simon shifted and sighed.
“Yes… they do… I have to admit, she hasn’t looked this happy in a very long time, and as much as I hate to accept it, I’m sure you’re responsible for that” he said not even taking one glance at the man.
“Yeah… I thought she was crazy, ya know. Fallin’ for an old man like me. But your sister, she’s-”
“Not normal. Trust me, I know” he said, not needing a second opinion on his sister’s odd ways.
“I promise I’ll take care of her. You got my word on that” he said, looking at Simon who returned his gaze curiously.
“The word of a thief?” asked Simon.
“Word of a man.” he said sternly. Simon sighed, and then nodded, directing his gaze on the cargo bay, where he saw River alone. Apparently Kaylee had left, and now River was staring at them both with a pleased look on her face.
~*~*~*~
Kaylee and Simon were in his bedroom. He was sleeping on her naked stomach, and she was wide awake, even after the action she had surprisingly managed to get out of her lover. The day had gone by so quietly, which surprised Kaylee. She suspected Simon might do something else to the captain, but he looked like he had made his peace with the lovers.
“Simon, you awake?” she asked. He groaned, wrapping his arms around her waist.
“I am now” he admitted.
“I want get married. Now.” she said brushing his hair with her fingers. He looked up at her, his chin resting on her stomach now.
“Now?” he asked. They had been engaged for nearly six months, give or take, and they had decided not to get married until the heat was off them. There were still problems concerning the Miranda incident, and they still worked hard to avoid the Alliance. After all, it wasn’t just River and Simon who were wanted; Serenity was a marked ship as well.
“Well, not NOW, but ya know, soon as possible. I, well *we*, still got some credits left from the job we did with Sarah, an’ I don’t think the captain will mind considerin’ he’s got his head in the clouds too now” she said with a grin. Simon contemplated the thought for a second.
“What about your family?” he asked.
“Please, ya know what my ma said ‘bout it. As long as we send ‘em some pictures or a recordin’ of it, she ain’t gonna die” she said.
“So, you want to elope?” he asked.
“Well, no. I wanna plan it. On a nice green field, wearin’ a fancy dress, a priest, Captain as the best man, Zoe as the maid of honor, ya know… Sarah said we could give her a wave if we needed anythin’” she said. He rested his cheek on her stomach again.
“Okay… We’ll tell the captain in the morning” he said with a grin, knowing what would come next. Kaylee pulled his face to hers and embraced him in a long kiss.
~*~*~*~
Mal and River were at the bridge, giving themselves very odd smiles the whole time.
“What’cha thinkin’ ‘bout?” he asked with a grin. She smiled.
“Lots of things” she said.
“Mention one” he said crossing his arms.
“A dream you had, making love to me right there” she said pointing at the controls in front of him. He coughed.
“Ah, that dream” he said remembering that moment far too well to forget it.
“Would make it come true, but Zoe isn’t sleeping” she said with a frown.
“Well, ya know, I’m feelin’ kinda tired” he said standing up to stretch. “So, I’m gonna go my lonely, cold, little bed, an’ leave the door open, in case anythin’ happens” he said giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving. River giggled and waited a few minutes before leaving the ship to fly on her own.
~*~*~*~
Mal was already naked waiting for her as she walked down the ladder. He smiled as she stood there, gazing at him smiling, next to the ladder.
“Thought you were tired” she said teasingly.
“Oh, I am.” he said faking a yawn and acting as if he was going to sleep. He kept his eyes closed, even as he felt her get under the covers with him, her naked fragile body pressing against his. He smiled and pulled her to him, lying on his back so she would be on top.
“Hmm, another memory” she said with a grin as she started rubbing herself on his body, bringing his cock to life with little effort. Mal smiled as he opened his eyes to look at her.
“Seen a lot of my dreams, I take it” he said with a grin as he put his hands behind his head.
“All of them. The ones with me in them are really good” she said with a grin.
“You don’t hear me complainin’” he said with a smile. She pushed her lips onto his, her chest pressed on his as he let his hands caress her back, her waist, her hips and finally her butt. She groaned into his mouth, tasting his tongue, but wanting more of it.
“More” she moaned as he let his mouth explore her wildly, just like she wanted. She moaned feeling herself getting wet already. She smiled as she sat up on him, letting him admire the body of his fragile warrior. He let his hands touch her breasts, handling them softly, teasing her hard nipples as he pressed his thumbs on them and pinched them occasionally. She moaned in delight.
She lifted herself up just enough so she could pull up his cock and position it in her entrance. He shuddered, feeling her delicate fingertips handle his shaft like she had been familiar with it forever. She let it enter her slowly, enjoying the way it invaded her, inch by inch. Mal smiled as he moved his hands to her face, letting her take in one of his fingers in his mouth, sucking on them and grazing them with her teeth as he pulled them out.
She began moving, a slowly steady rhythm, much like his dream, moving back and forth, letting his cock stretch her as much as it could. She licked her lips, biting them softly, as she began to take him in and out slowly. She let him put his hands on her hips to assist her, his grip hardening with every movement that she made, leaving marks on her sensitive skin, but she didn’t care.
They were staring into each other’s eyes, seeing the intensity of their pleasure, and feeling it ten times over with just their gazes. She could feel the heat building in between her legs as she bent down to kiss him. He put his hand behind her head, kissing her roughly, and she bit her lip lightly, almost drawing blood. She was beginning to whimper, feeling the orgasm start to build. He let himself thrust upwards, fucking her with rapid thrusts enough to make her moan his name in a tone that made him feel like he would’ve reached the peak of his orgasm right then and there, but he wouldn’t come, not before her at least.
She controlled her movements again, forcing him to stop, as she made circular motions before going back to taking him in and out of herself. He could feel her tighten again, pulling her face to his, kissing her once more as he felt her explode, and cease her movements, he continued his own until he finally came shortly afterwards. They both let out moans of ecstasy that seemed warm the steel around them. River smiled as she met his lips with hers, loving pecks at first that soon became a passionate battle of tongues.
“Can we do that again?” she whispered looking into his beautiful blue eyes. He laughed.
“Bao bay, I need rest, least for five minutes” he said with a grin. She pouted and sighed.
“Fine, five minutes” she said, telling him she’d count them. Nothing could go wrong at that moment, she thought. How wrong she was.
~*~*~*~
At that moment Zoe had been at the bridge, comfortably sitting on her husband’s seat, and remembering all the times she had seen him there. It was then when she noticed a small light flashing. A wave.
She practically ran to the intercom to wake the Captain.
“Captain, we got a problem. We just got a wave from Bellerophon. It’s Danah” she said.
~*~*~*~To be continued~*~*~*~
“Well, that’s it. Cliffhanger, I know, but I just like torturing people, just to make sure they’re awake. Now, don’t go just yet, because I have a surprise for all of you, especially for our dear host.” she says pointing him out in the crowd. He shifts nervously. “Seeing how much you loved me enough to make me your special home made raspberry cookies” she says, the host looks at the man beside him and whispers, “E tu, Brutus?” but Lux keeps talking “I thought I’d return the favor by giving you something in return. I’ve been investigating everything there is to know about you, and finally, after careful investigation, I found the one thing you’ve always wanted.” she says as she goes to her chair and starts handing out boxes to everyone in the audience.
“Wait, why are you giving them boxes?” he asks. She smiles. “Don’t worry, you’re getting one too, I’m just sharing” she says as she gives him the last box. “Okay, now open, everyone” she says. As soon as everyone opens their gifts they start laughing, but the host hasn’t opened his. He hesitates and opens it slowly. Once he does, he yells one of the biggest curses in his life. It’s a framed picture of him standing naked on the edge of a cliff and the frame says “Watch how I soar”

“What’cha thinkin’ ‘bout?” he asked with a grin. She smiled.
“Lots of things” she said.
“Mention one” he said crossing his arms.
“A dream you had, making love to me right there” she said pointing at the controls in front of him. He coughed.
“Ah, that dream” he said remembering that moment far too well to forget it.
“Would make it come true, but Zoe isn’t sleeping” she said with a frown.
“Well, ya know, I’m feelin’ kinda tired” he said standing up to stretch. “So, I’m gonna go my lonely, cold, little bed, an’ leave the door open, in case anythin’ happens” he said giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving. River giggled and waited a few minutes before leaving the ship to fly on her own.

Mal was already naked waiting for her as she walked down the ladder. He smiled as she stood there, gazing at him smiling, next to the ladder.
“Thought you were tired” she said teasingly.
“Oh, I am.” he said faking a yawn and acting as if he was going to sleep. He kept his eyes closed, even as he felt her get under the covers with him, her naked fragile body pressing against his. He smiled and pulled her to him, lying on his back so she would be on top.
“Hmm, another memory” she said with a grin as she started rubbing herself on his body, bringing his cock to life with little effort. Mal smiled as he opened his eyes to look at her.
“Seen a lot of my dreams, I take it” he said with a grin as he put his hands behind his head.
“All of them. The ones with me in them are really good” she said with a grin.
“You don’t hear me complainin’” he said with a smile. She pushed her lips onto his, her chest pressed on his as he let his hands caress her back, her waist, her hips and finally her butt. She groaned into his mouth, tasting his tongue, but wanting more of it.
“More” she moaned as he let his mouth explore her wildly, just like she wanted. She moaned feeling herself getting wet already. She smiled as she sat up on him, letting him admire the body of his fragile warrior. He let his hands touch her breasts, handling them softly, teasing her hard nipples as he pressed his thumbs on them and pinched them occasionally. She moaned in delight.
She lifted herself up just enough so she could pull up his cock and position it in her entrance. He shuddered, feeling her delicate fingertips handle his shaft like she had been familiar with it forever. She let it enter her slowly, enjoying the way it invaded her, inch by inch. Mal smiled as he moved his hands to her face, letting her take in one of his fingers in his mouth, sucking on them and grazing them with her teeth as he pulled them out.
She began moving, a slowly steady rhythm, much like his dream, moving back and forth, letting his cock stretch her as much as it could. She licked her lips, biting them softly, as she began to take him in and out slowly. She let him put his hands on her hips to assist her, his grip hardening with every movement that she made, leaving marks on her sensitive skin, but she didn’t care.
They were staring into each other’s eyes, seeing the intensity of their pleasure, and feeling it ten times over with just their gazes. She could feel the heat building in between her legs as she bent down to kiss him. He put his hand behind her head, kissing her roughly, and she bit her lip lightly, almost drawing blood. She was beginning to whimper, feeling the orgasm start to build. He let himself thrust upwards, fucking her with rapid thrusts enough to make her moan his name in a tone that made him feel like he would’ve reached the peak of his orgasm right then and there, but he wouldn’t come, not before her at least.
She controlled her movements again, forcing him to stop, as she made circular motions before going back to taking him in and out of herself. He could feel her tighten again, pulling her face to his, kissing her once more as he felt her explode, and cease her movements, he continued his own until he finally came shortly afterwards. They both let out moans of ecstasy that seemed warm the steel around them. River smiled as she met his lips with hers, loving pecks at first that soon became a passionate battle of tongues.
“Can we do that again?” she whispered looking into his beautiful blue eyes. He laughed.
“Bao bay, I need rest, least for five minutes” he said with a grin. She pouted and sighed.
“Fine, five minutes” she said, telling him she’d count them. Nothing could go wrong at that moment, she thought. How wrong she was.

At that moment Zoe had been at the bridge, comfortably sitting on her husband’s seat, and remembering all the times she had seen him there. It was then when she noticed a small light flashing. A wave.
She practically ran to the intercom to wake the Captain.
“Captain, we got a problem. We just got a wave from Bellerophon. It’s Danah” she said.

“Well, that’s it. Cliffhanger, I know, but I just like torturing people, just to make sure they’re awake. Now, don’t go just yet, because I have a surprise for all of you, especially for our dear host.” she says pointing him out in the crowd. He shifts nervously. “Seeing how much you loved me enough to make me your special home made raspberry cookies” she says, the host looks at the man beside him and whispers, “E tu, Brutus?” but Lux keeps talking “I thought I’d return the favor by giving you something in return. I’ve been investigating everything there is to know about you, and finally, after careful investigation, I found the one thing you’ve always wanted.” she says as she goes to her chair and starts handing out boxes to everyone in the audience.
“Wait, why are you giving them boxes?” he asks. She smiles. “Don’t worry, you’re getting one too, I’m just sharing” she says as she gives him the last box. “Okay, now open, everyone” she says. As soon as everyone opens their gifts they start laughing, but the host hasn’t opened his. He hesitates and opens it slowly. Once he does, he yells one of the biggest curses in his life. It’s a framed picture of him standing naked on the edge of a cliff and the frame says “Watch how I soar”
