[dated to March 6]
Saffron had been healing, slowly but surely, ever since being injured on the space station, and she was real close to full recovery. Her voice was back to normal, which was a real gorram relief. Her ribs were almost there; maybe a couple of weeks more and she'd be fine. The fact of the matter, though, was that she and Xander had been together a little over two months at this point and so far they'd spent about half that time unable to make love.
She'd had enough.
Saffron had a hell of a lot of willpower, but sleeping next to her boyfriend every night, so close and yet so far, was getting to her. So when Xander was off doing work with the building crew, Saffron went down to the clothing box and hunted until she found something sexy and sure to be irresistible.
Back home, she slipped into what she'd found and set up the scene, lighting candles in the bedroom and scattering flower petals over the floor. When she heard Xander on the porch, she hurried to perch on the end of the bed. When he came inside, he'd follow the trail of flower petals to their bedroom, and that's where he'd find her, sitting and waiting for him.
