I would be happy to get some Feedback at spatzi23@gmx.de

Its been about ten years since Inara left the Serenity and the Crew. After everything that happened on Miranda and what happened to Wash and Book she couldn´t stay. After all she decided to leave the ship.
She now lives with a Lord on Valentine. Her contract was about to expire, but she was sure he would make her another offer. And she was just as sure that she would accept this offer. They were happy with each other and she could say that she truly loves him.
Inara was surprised when she got the wave from Mal. He asked for her help with a job. He had to hand over goods in Athens and was not allowed to land there without a Companion. It wasn't a long way for her, and for the sake of the old days, she was happy to help.
But now that she had docked with the Serenity at the agreed time, she was getting a little nervous. She looked at her reflection in the glass of the door. Her long, curly hair was half tied in a bun, the lower half falling in dark waves over her shoulders. A few individual strands of hair came loose and now framed her face. She always hoped he'd like it when she wore her hair like this.
She blinked quickly and tried to put the thought away. She hated to admit, but she even wore one of his favorite dresses. It was made of black silk with some red embroidery. The fabric was soft and flowing and showed more of her figure than it concealed. The dress was closed at the front of her waist with three red buttons. The neckline wasn't too deep, just deep enough to accentuate her breasts perfectly. The high slit on the side would show off her legs with every step she took in the matching high heels. She knew that he had always liked that. And now she was standing here feeling silly. Why did she do that? Why did she worry about whether he would notice her appearance?
Inara knew that Mal had someone new by his side. The Woman had become his new mechanic when Kaylee and Simon left the ship, and shortly after she became much more to Mal. Inara didn't know her name, but she knew Mal was serious about her.
So she put on a happy, professional smile and opened the door to the Serenity. Mal was already waiting for her on the other side. "Inara, thank you for coming to help me. I really appreciate that!" with these words he came up to Inara and gave her a quick hug.
"I really shouldn't have let you take this trip, but recently you are no longer allowed to land in Athens without a companion and my business partner just happened to be passing through here ... so it saves us a week-long journey when we meet at Athens, and I thought I could at least ask you. I hope you didn't feel pressured to help me ... " He spoke quickly and almost without taking a breath.
Inara smiled at him "Malcolm! Stop it. I'm really glad I can help you. And please don't be silly, it really wasn't a long journey for me!"
Now it was his turn to smile. "What I wanted to say was simply thank you!" They faced each other and for a moment there was silence.
Inara was the first to speak again: "So ... where is the crew. I'm looking forward to seeing Zoe, Jayne and River again." she said. "And of course I'm also excited to get to know your new team members." she added quickly and somewhat awkwardly.
"Oh," said Mal, a little surprised. "Didn't I mention that in my wave? They are all on their way to Persephone. We wanted to use this stop to refill on some spare parts and supplies. Actually only the girls were supposed to fly, but Jayne insisted on accompanying them. He thinks he could hide it, but you can tell very clearly that he didn't want to be separated from River."
"As if River couldn't defend herself without him," Inara said with a laugh and added "Who would have thought that Jayne was such a softie." Mal nodded.
"So are we alone on the ship?" Inara asked. Mal nodded again. "Yes, the others took the shuttle. We'll take your old shuttle and the Serenity will be waiting here for whoever comes back first."
"Sounds like a good plan! When do we have to leave to get to Athens in time?" "um ... we would have to start right away. Is that okay with you?"
"Yea, sure. After you, Captain" Inara said with a grin, pointing in the direction of the shuttle. "Oh no," Mal said, "I've learned a lot. Ladies first" And with that he took a step to the side and cleared the way for Inara.
In fact, Inara was glad that she could briefly turn her back on the captain. She noticed how the heat rose in her head. Why did she asked about his new Girlfriend in such an awkward way? Did she really blush when the captain gave her the right of way? "Breathe!" Inara said to herself.
She raised her head and went up the stairs to the shuttle in front of Mal. suddenly the hair on the back of her neck stood up when she felt the captain's gaze wander over her back. "stop it!" she tried to call herself to order. "Don´t be silly! Smile and help Malcolm like you promised."
It would be about a two-hour flight to Athens, maybe an hour to meet with Mal's business partner and hand over the goods. Another two hours on the flight back to the ship and she could say goodbye to him kindly and disappear back into her regular life.
Even before she got on board, she knew that it would not be easy to spend this time with him and that was also before she knew they would be completely alone. She had never really been able to tell him how she felt about him and now it was too late. Oh, it was way too late for that. He was happy and so was she.
Her task for today was to provide this administrative assistance as a friendship service for him and then to let him live his happy life again.
Inara stepped on the shuttle and couldn't believe her eyes. "Mal, did you do that?" she asked and could hardly believe what she saw. Her shuttle looked almost like it did when she lived in it.
"You know," Mal said, "actually it was pretty pretty like you had it. And Zoe and the girls said it would be nice to have a pretty place on board. And every now and then we still need the help of a companion, and then everything is already prepared."
"Malcolm, there are even candles!" "And tea ..." he said and opened a cupboard. "What's a big deal about that? We had a few good jobs and then we just had a few credits left. so..."
Inara looked around again, she coulden´t help but notice that even the bedding was like the one she always loved most. She took another breath through her nose. It even smelled like home.
"Ready?" Mal asked, pointing to the flight controls. "Sorry, yes... of course." Inara headed for the chair.
"Oh I thought I was going to fly and you were my copilot, you know because I'm the captain and all that. But of course it's okay if you want to fly" Mal smiled sideways. Inara blushed again. "I am so sorry! It's hard to break old habits, I guess." She tried a smile and changed places. "That was just a joke," Malcolm said. "You're very welcome to take the wheel."
For a moment he stood sideways behind the now empty chair and looked at her, she was sure he noticed she had blushed again, but he was kind enough not to say anything.
"Have a seat, Captain," she said and smiled at him again. "Well then, let's go before we don't arrive in time," said Malcolm, took his seat and started the shuttle.
The start sequence and the flight to Athens were as smooth as in the old days. It was almost as if the two had always flown together.
Inara relaxed a little and chatted with Mal about Zoe, River and Jayne. Most of all, of course, she was interested in how Simon had taken it when River and Jayne announced they were a couple. And she asked about Kaylee and Simon and how they had found their new home in a larger town on Jiangyin. Simon could work as a doctor there. And Kaylee just fixed anything she could get her hands on. They would soon welcome their first child and Inara firmly decided to send them a wave as soon as she got home.
Now it was time for Inara to ask about the new woman in Captain Reynolds' life. "Well, the new mechanic, your girl-..." She got no further with her question because she was interrupted by a wild beeping.
Mal took the radio message wave from the surface of the planet and entered the coordinates into the controller. After it stopped beeping, Mal looked at Inara. "What did you want to say?”
"Um ... your girl-... well, your partner... your significant other... you are very happy, aren't you?" Mal looked her straight in the eye "Yes, I am! And you? Is your lord good to you?"
"Yeah, he's great! I couldn't have done any better ..." They kept eye contact for a brief Moment until Mal had to concentrate on landing.
The delivery of the goods was done quickly and, for once, without any problems. Mal got the agreed amount of credits, plus a small mysterious wooden box. After the deal was over, Mal and Inara went back to the ship.
"Well, that was done quickly." Said Inara to Malcolm as they got on the shuttle. "Yes, surprisingly quickly and easily ..."
"I'm just going to freshen up real quick, okay?" and with that she disappeared into the tiny bathroom that was once hers.
“Tā mā de thats yī dà tuó dà biàn“ "What happened?" Inara asked when she quickly came out of the bathroom. She knew the captain liked to swear, but that sounded serious. "Are we being shot at or threatened with death in some other way?"
He turned to her and saw her eyes wide open. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. No, we're not being shot at, we're just stuck here for the next ten to twelve hours. The ground control wont let us start. Some security surveillance problem. All take-offs and landings were canceled until further notice.”
"What do you mean by that?" Inara asked and Malcolm had to laugh. "According to the look on your face, you'd prefer us to be shot?!" "What? No! That wasn't what I meant ... But won't your crew miss you?" "I don't think so," said Malcolm, "they are certainly gone longer than we are. But if you want to you can send a wave to your lord so he doesn't miss you as you won't be home in time." "That won't be necessary either, he's still on business for the next few days. - So it's just you an me than ?!"
Inara immediately regretted saying that. "Whats the matter `Nara? You look tense. Is there anything I can do for you? " He took a step towards her and she took a step back. She bumped against the bed and lost her balance for a moment. She ended up sitting on the bed. Mal crouched in front of her and tried to make eye contact.
"Are you okay?" She didn't know if she was imagining it or if there really was concern in his voice. He came a little closer and she could smell his scent. Soap, the leather of his clothes and unmistakable Mal.
His warm hand came to rest on her knee. Unnoticed by the two of them, Inara's dress had slipped a little, probably when she stumbled. So his hand didn't touch her dress but her stocking.
For a second she thought she saw shock in his eyes and his hand twitched briefly as if he wanted to take her off her knee. But he didn´t. He just looked at his hand.
His hand rested on her knee until it slowly moved up to the middle of her thigh. His thumb gently stroked the lace at the top of her stockings. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." he said, blinking as if he was just regaining consciousness. She realized he was about to pull his hand away, but she held it tight.
"What are you doing?" his voice cracked and his eyes darkened. Her heart was beating fast and her breath was deep. "Just for a moment ?! ... Please ... let me feel your hand just one more moment"
He changed his position and knelt in front of her. Without breaking eye contact, he slipped his other hand under her dress and placed it on her other leg.
Inara sucked in air sharply. His thumbs continued to gently brush the lace embroidery and, from time to time, her hot skin.
She raised her hand and brushed a few strands of hair back from his face. She couldn't break eye contact with him. And without really knowing what she was doing, she opened the three buttons on her dress one by one. Mal swallowed hard "What are you doing?" Inara opened the dress and let the fabric slide slowly over her shoulders. His eyes traveled over her body. She wore black lingerie with a red lace. Matching the dress she was wearing. Her fair skin shone against the dark black of the lingerie.
His thumbs moved a little closer to her moist, warm middle. It seemed like a reflex that he couldn't control. "What you are doing?" he asked again and she didn't know if he was asking her or himself.
Slowly, with one hand, he carefully brought her to rest on the bed, while the thumb of the other hand slipped under the material of her panties. Her breasts rose and fell quickly due to her breath.
With his free hand, Mal gently stroked her stomach while his face approached her lap and he gave her a careful kiss on her moist panties. His thumb caressed the skin under the hem of the panties and Inara shuddered.
"Mal ..." it sounded more like a pleading, and she couldn't say more because her voice broke off. His hand and face peeled away from her lap and he slowly slid his hands over her bra-covered breasts.
She felt his hot breath on the skin of her stomach and even thought she felt a kiss as his body pushed further and further over her.
She could feel the coarse fabric of his shirt and the cold buckle of his suspenders against her skin. He propped himself up on the bed with one arm so that he wouldn't put all his weight on her and lay halfway down next to her.
The thumb of his other hand continued to draw small circles on the fabric of her bra that stretched over her stiff nipple. She could feel his warm breath on her throat now. Inara didn't know when she had closed her eyes, but blind as she was because of it, it seemed to her that she could feel his presence on her neck even more.
"What did you plan to happen now?" he asked and she could feel his warm breath on the skin around her ear, his mouth was so close to her. She turned her head a little in his direction. "I haven't planned anything. And I don't know what's going to happen next either."
She opened her eyes and saw the doubt on his face. "I'm sorry ..." she tried to say, but he had already jumped out of bed.
He took a few steps in one direction and then turned to walk in the opposite direction. He stopped in front of the bed and looked down at her. "What do you think will happen now?" His voice was rational and almost cold.
She was paralyzed and couldn't move. She closed her eyes, afraid that tears would come to her. "Mal, I'm so sorry! I know how happy you are, and please believe me when I tell you I am too!" she had to swallow against the knot in her throat.
“I can't explain it to you, I can't even explain it to myself. No matter how happy I am, and I really am, I have to think of you from time to time. And I can't help but wish that I can fulfill your dreams one more time, feel your hands on me one more time. One last time. I want to feel one last time what it is like to be wanted by you... to be needed by you... even to be used by you...”
He had turned his head away, but on her last sentence he was looking at her again. "I never used you!" "No, no not in a bad way. Never! But I loved feeling that you used me for your pleasure.... that you needed me... I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm saying. I didn't mean to embarrass you or accuse you of anything. Please forgive me!"
She sat up and was about to wrap her dress around her body again when he said "Stand up!" She looked up at him and grabbed her dress. "I said stand up, not dress up!"
His tone was harsh and imperative. She didn't know what had gotten into him, but she did what he asked. So they faced each other, she only in lingerie, stockings and High Heels and he fully dressed.
She saw a hesitation in his eyes and she felt like he was fighting himself. She wished she could guess his thoughts, but the look on his face didn't give away a thing.
He raised one hand to the side of her face and placed the other hand on her hip. "You really want that?" he asked and his tone was noticeably softer. Inara didn't trust her voice and therefore only nodded slightly.
With that his strong arms pulled her against him and he kissed her. First gently and carefully before he began to wrestle his tongue passionately against hers. Inara wrapped her arms around Mal and returned his kiss with equal passion.
His hands went over her back, her butt, and along her spine into her hair. She felt as if he suddenly had four arms and hands, because she felt him all over her body. Inara moaned softly in Mal's mouth as one of his hands gripped her buttock tightly.
She tried to loosen his suspenders and take off his shirt. She pulled his shirt over his head and his lips parted from hers, only to kiss her neck directly afterwards.
Inara felt how Mal opened her bra and let the straps slide over her shoulders. His large, rough hand cupped a globe of her breasts and her stiff nipples dug right into his palm. He grabbed it with his thumb and forefinger to slowly roll it between his fingers. Her moan came deep from her throat which he was still kissing.
She was sure he could feel the damp heat rising from her panties. The way she could feel his cock pressing stiffly against the fabric of his pants. She was about to open his pants when he stopped her. "Wait!"
Both were breathing heavily and had to take a deep breath first. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" She nodded "What about you?" but instead of an answer, she got a counter-question "You really want to be used? uh ... for my pleasure ..."
It seemed to her that it was difficult for him to even ask that question. So she kissed the spot on his neck that she knew would drive him crazy and whispered "yes ... please!" against his skin.
Now it was up to him to moan and he threw his head back briefly. When she could look into his eyes again, they were dark with lust.
"On your knees," he said throatily. "Your wish is my command," she said and a smile crossed her mouth. She slowly got on her knees in front of him. Together they opened his pants and Inara pulled all the fabric that was in her way down at once.
His gorgeous dick was already hard and she gently grabbed him with one hand. With her other hand she cupped his balls. The fingernail of her thumb gently brushed the delicate skin on the underside as her other hand slowly moved up and down his dick.
She looked up at him. Inara knew that that wasn't all that Mal expected from her, but she wanted to tease him for a moment. With a smile she licked her dark red lips. "Wo De Tian A, woman you are driving me crazy." "You like it don't you?" she said with a smile and carefully ran her tongue over the underside of his cock.
"You will get everything back what you do to me now." he said half pleadingly, half threateningly. Inara shivered at the memory of what his tongue could do to her. So she closed her lips around his cock and began to suckle lightly while her hand continued up and down. With her other hand she massaged his balls.
She skillfully changed the pace and intensity on his cock and it didn't take long for his moaning to get faster and louder. "Nara, you have to stop ... I'm about to burst ..."
That was what she was waiting for. She took his cock all the way into her mouth, looked up at him and hummed "hm hm" at the same time she gently squeezed his balls and for Mal there was no stopping.
Inara felt how Mal poured into her. She sucked and licked until there was nothing left to suck and lick and Mal's cock had stopped pulsing. Slowly she let him slip out of her mouth and looked at his face while she licked the corner of her mouth.
Mal had propped himself up against the wall, she suspected his knees had become a bit wobbly. "That was Jing Tian Dwohn Di ..." he said and offered her a hand to help her get up.
When she was back in front of him, he kissed her again. He took a step out of his pants and had somehow taken off his shoes. Together they took another step and Inara's legs touched the bed again. This time she didn't lose her balance as Malcolm held her. The two lay down on the bed without breaking their kiss. When they came to rest half on top of each other and half next to each other, Mal's hand began to wander over the front of her body.
-He started with his hand on her collarbone, from there he drew a gentle line over her bare breasts. He took hold of the globe of her breast and gave it a short, firm squeeze. Then he ran his hand with the back of his fingers down her waist to her hip. She twitched briefly as he tickled a sensitive area.
He broke their kiss and looked deep into her eyes "Are you okay? Is that okay?" He wanted to take his hand away, but she stopped him. "Don't you dare take your hand away from me Malcolm Reynolds!" her tone of voice was a bit sharper than she had intended and both had to laugh about it for a moment.
"What I wanted to say was, please go on. You just tickled me a bit. And yes, I'm fine. And I still want to feel your hands on my body. And maybe even your tongue, if I'm lucky..."
He looked at her face for a moment and she would give his weight in gold for knowing what was going on in his head. But before she could ask him about it, he was distracting her again.
His mouth found her breast and his hand slipped into her panties. She arched her back and moaned at the sudden delightful touch. Mal leaned on the bed and brought his body over hers. He slowly moved down until he could rest his body between her legs.
His tongue had left a damp trail over the hot skin of her stomach. Inara shivered for a moment and she didn't know whether it was because of the sudden lack of his body heat or because she knew what he was going to do with her. She closed her eyes in joyful anticipation of what would come next.
His hands gently stroked the skin of her stomach, the fabric of her panties, and the inside of her thighs. Inara was sure that they had to be damp in the meantime. And as if he had read her mind, Mal licked the inside of one thigh. With his fingers he carefully pushed the fabric of her panties aside, and looked at a well-trimmed strip of hair.
He gently ran his fingers along the edges of the strip. Inara groaned almost begging. He parted her lips with his tongue and licked her slit once. Inara reared up and groaned again in sweet premonition. But she waited in vain for another use of Mal's tongue. Instead, his finger gently brushed her skin again.
Inara opened her eyes and looked at Mal, who was looking at her and licking his lips with a smile. "You told me so, didn´t you...?!" she said a little frustrated. "I know I did that to you earlier, but would you please continue ?! Please ...!" He had to grin.
"What do you want me to do? This?" and as if he had never done anything else his tongue found her clit and he sent her almost right over the edge. “Yeh Su! Yes, this is what i want you to do!”
He played with her. His tongue drew a circle around her clit only to be back at her opening in the next moment. A soft lick alternated with a punctured nudge. Her fingers dug into the covers, her breathing was hard, and she didn't know what he was going to do next.
Just as she felt the hot ball of orgasm build up inside her, Mal's pace slowed. "Please ... please don't stop. Keep going!" She was sure he knew exactly how to make her come right now. Why did he leave her like this? She looked at him and he looked like he was absorbed in his thoughts.
She was too close to orgasm to worry about what he was thinking. So she reached for his face "Please go on!" It seemed like he was back in reality when he asked "What do you want me to do?" and with his thumb on her opening he teased her. "Yes ... please," she moaned. And his thumb quickly brushed her clit.
"Tell me what you want," he demanded again. She danced on a tightrope and it took everything from her to formulate a sentence. "I want to feel you inside me ... Please stop the teasing ... I need you inside me!"
At last he had mercy and while he continued to play on her clit with his thumb he inserted a finger into her. She groaned loudly and her fingers buried themselves further and further into the cover.
His finger slowly slipped out of her and back in again. It seemed like Mal was doing everything in his power to cause as little friction as possible. He drove her insane, but not over the edge. Just when she wanted to beg him again to please give her an orgasm, he lowered his lips on her and worked her clit with his lips and tongue. He continued to slide his finger in and out of her. Still with as little friction as humanly possible. It drove her nuts.
Inara didn't know what was going on in her anymore. She straightened her back and pressed her lap in Mal's direction. "You want more..." he said with his lips still against her flesh. She didn't know if it was a question or a statement. But she replied "yes ... more ... please" He only made her wait a short moment, then he penetrated her with a second finger and finally, finally, he bent his fingers a little to hit her most sensitive spot.
This, together with his mouth on her clit, sent Inara over the edge within seconds. The orgasm exploded inside her, her walls tightened around his fingers, her breathing stopped for a moment and she was pretty sure that her brain was also interrupting its tasks for a short instant.
He slowly withdrew his fingers from inside and licked them clean. His fingers brushed her skin one more time and he straightened her panties back to their original position. Then he straightened up himself to lie down next to her. Inara slowly regained control of her body. Her fingers and toes tingled, she tried to pull off her high-heeled shoes. "Wait!" Mal said "I'll take care of it."
Mal, who was still sitting between her legs, ran his hands over her stocking. From her thigh, over the knee and lower leg to her ankle. When he got to her foot, he carefully pulled the high-heeled shoe off of it. His hands carefully and tenderly stroked the fine material of her stocking. He massaged her foot with a practiced hand and kissed her ankle. Then he turned to the other leg, which he caressed just as tenderly, and carefully freed the foot from the high-heeled shoe.
Like Mal, Inara doesn't say a word. Only when he kissed her other ankle did their eyes meet again. An almost embarrassed smile crossed his face. He lowered his eyes to her legs and continued to touch her stockinged thighs. She watched him do it and was, in a way, surprised that he still seemed to care for her legs so much.
When Mal's hands reached her feet again, he said, with a sideways glance at the high heels, "How you can walk in these things... Your feet must hurt." And his rough, strong warrior hands massaged her feet so tenderly that Inara almost forgot who she was looking at.
After a few moments of silence, he finally said with a nod in the direction of the stockings, "You're wearing them for me, aren't you?" Inara blushed suddenly. She felt caught.
"What makes you think that?" she asked back as neutrally as possible. Still massaging her feet, he replied, "You hate those things!"
"I don't hate them ..." she began, but she knew there was no need to go on talking. Of course he still knew that she preferred to go without stockings and only wore them when the occasion made it necessary. And the handover of contraband on a third-rate planet was by no means such an occasion. A reunion with Malcolm Reynolds, on the other hand, who she knew to appreciate stockings, seemed to be such an occasion. It didn't help either that she had previously tried to convince herself that she had actually not dressed up for him.
"Maybe I remembered that you like them ..." she also left this sentence unfinished in the room. Both were silent. Inara felt as if she had to justify herself. But she didn't know how to do it. How could she convince Mal that she hadn't come on board with the intention of seducing him?
She didn't even know if she could convince herself of it. She knew that in this life there was no longer any chance for the two of them to be happy together. But how do you explain to someone the irrepressible desire to be with them one last time, even when you know how painful it is for them, without appearing like a terrible egoist?
How could she explain to him that it would be just as painful for her, but that the thought of him does not let her go, even if she is in such a happy life. As happy and high as she was a moment ago, she felt just as miserable now.
Inara was brought back to the here and now by her own goosebumps. Mal noticed it too and said, "You're cold." that was not a question but a statement. With just a few movements he pulled out a blanket and covered Inara. He lay down next to her and stared at the ceiling.
Inara wanted to say something and took two breaths, but both times she just couldn't find the right words. It took some time before she tried again. "Malcolm, please forgive me. I never meant to hurt you or put you in such a situation."
"I love her! You know that right?"
She nodded.
"And you know that I never could do this" he made a sweeping gesture "without feeling love for you as well. Even if you don´t feel like this for me."
"Wait!" she interrupted him "It's right, I am in love with someone else. Just as you are with her. But what makes you think that you have feelings for me that I don't feel for you?” Inara sat up a little. She tried to make eye contact with him and when he finally meet her eyes she said: "Malcolm Reynolds, there hasn't been a single moment since we met that I didn't feel love for you."
She felt her throat tighten, but she had to say what she didn´t say for so long. "Maybe we didn't always agree, we had arguments, or one of us, or both had someone else in their hearts. But I ALWAYS felt love for you. And the fact that I couldn't always show or say this is because I wanted to protect you... - and myself."
Her voice cracked and she closed her eyes so he couldn't see how difficult it was for her to say these things. She was about to sink back onto the bed when he pulled her close.
He didn't say a word, he didn't reply to what she just said, he simply put his lips on hers and kissed her. She returned the kiss like a drowning woman gasping for air.
She felt his arms tighten around her. He kept pulling her closer to him. Their kiss deepened. She could feel his warm body against hers and it felt like her heart was jumping out of her.
Inara fought for her sanity and lost that fight. Without breaking the kiss, Inara tried to bend over him a little to get rid of her panties. When she had done that, she swung one leg over his body to be able to sit on him.
Her hair, which was loosening more and more from the bun, fell past her face onto his shoulder as she began to kiss his neck. She kissed, licked and nibbled on his neck, on his shoulders and on his chest until she noticed between her legs that he was hard and ready.
She sat up, lifted her hips a little, positioned herself over him and then slowly let him slide into her. He went deeper and deeper into her and moaned her name. When she could feel him completely inside, she slowly began to move, rock, and circle her hips.
His hands came to rest on her hips and she put her hands on his chest. His grip tightened as her movements quickened. Their breathing was almost synchronized and both breathed harder and harder. One of his hands peeled off her hip and brushed her waist up to her breast.
His fingers caressed and teased the globe of her breast and her nipple, before he grabbed her nipple and slowly and carefully began to twist it. Inara's moaning grew louder, and that made Malcolm louder too.
She lost all sense of time on him. Again and again he pulled her close to hold her tight and kiss her. Then she sat up straight again to watch his face react to her movements and to give him room to look at her body and touch her as he like. The hot anticipation of an orgasm grew within her.
She knew that she couldn't delay her own orgasm much longer, and hoped to send him over the edge as well. Their bodies moved in almost perfect unison. It was almost as if one could foresee what the other would do next and adjusted his movements accordingly. His hands had started exploring her body again. When he grabbed her bottom with both hands and pulled her close, she moaned sharply. "Mal, I don't know how much longer I can take this," she said, breathing heavily. "Me too ..." he replied.
And only a few movements later she felt how he began to throb inside her and pour himself into her. With that he sent her over the edge. Her walls closed tightly around him and they began to pulsate. A wave of heat and light flooded her body, she closed her eyes and threw her head back and now moaned his name.
She squeezed him to the last drop. Her whole body tingled. She felt a bead of sweat run over her spine. And gradually her movements on him became slower.
She felt him pull her into his arms, and with the last twitches of her body, she surrendered completely to his embrace. Only slowly did she regain her breath and her mind. He was holding her close and she could still feel him inside. His fingers traced her back in alternating lines and curves.
After a few minutes of devouring and breathing, she rolled off of him and lay down next to him. Her head rested on his chest, she could smell sweat and sex on his body and closed her eyes for a moment. His hand continued to stroke over her back, her shoulders, and through her hair.
She suspected that he had turned his face towards her hair. But she didn't know if and what she could say without destroying this moment. So she didn't say anything, she just listened to his breath and his heartbeat.
Apparently she fell asleep because she was woken up by his movement next to her. He tried to get up. She loosened her arm, which she probably had wrapped around him in her sleep, and he said, "I didn't want to wake you! But a wave came and I wanted to see if there was any news. - Go back to sleep, I'll come back to you. " He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes again.
A short time later she felt the bed move under his weight again, and he put his arm around her. "Any news?" she mumbled with her eyes closed. "No, not yet. It will be hours before they can let us take off." She fell asleep again with her head on his chest.
***********************
Inara didn't know exactly how much time had passed, but she felt rested. But what had woken her up? She blinked and even the dimmed lights in the shuttle seemed bright to her. Then she heard the grumble again that she had woken up. It was Mal's stomach that growled.
She smiled and shifted her position so she could see his face. Still lying in his arms, she watched his face while he slept. It didn't take long before he also started to blink and look at her "What are you doing?" he asked her. "Nothing, I'm just looking ..." He apparently wanted to answer something but was interrupted by the growling of his stomach and he put one hand on it.
"You had to work hard," she said with a grin. "Are you hungry too?" he asked. "Yes, a little," she had to admit. "Have you stored something to eat in the shuttle?"
"Not exactly, but I have something better." He got up and got the small wooden box he had received earlier that day. He sat down next to her on the bed and showed her the contents of the box. "Captain Reynolds, you're always good for a surprise."
In the box was a green apple, about a dozen small strawberries and a few dark grapes. He had brought his knife out of his pants and began to cut the apple. Inara sat up next to him and Mal handed her a piece of apple.
She bit with relish into the juicy apple and a small drop of the fruit juice ran down her chin. Before she could even raise her hand to wipe the drop off, Mal kissed him away. "Hmm, juicy," he said, raising an eyebrow. She smiled.
The two shared the apple and Mal had to tell Inara how he had got his business partner to give him these delicacies. When the apple was finished, Mal looked into the box, up to Inara, and back into the box.
"Lie down," he says, his tone suggesting that he was planning something. Inara obeyed and lay down on her back. Mal took one of the strawberries and ran the cold fruit over Inara's body. He made a few circles on her breasts and a few curves on her stomach. Then he put the berry in her navel.
He followed the path the berry had just taken with his tongue and ended up sucking the berry out of her navel. Inara shivered. "So you want to play?" she asked. "No! I want to enjoy!"
He fed Inara the next strawberry and kissed her neck while she bit off the berry. Another drop of fruit juice ran down her chin, this time he licked it off her neck. Inara grabbed another strawberry to feed Mal with it. And when she licked her thumb clean from the juice of the berry, his eyes went dark again with lust. He pulled her close and began to nibble at her neck.
The incoming wave interrupted them before it could go any further. "Hai Bu Goh" cursed Mal when he got up to take the wave.
"We have an hour, then we can take off." he said. Inara lowered her eyes. "Good," she said unconvincingly. She would have loved to have been here with Mal a little longer, away from reality.
"So ..." he started, but didn't finish the sentence. "So?" she looked at him questioningly. "So, that's it ?!" "It seems ..." she got the impression that he wanted to say something else.
"Mal?"
"Well I'm wondering if you meant it when you said you wanted to fulfill my dreams."
"I did"
"Any dreams?"
"What do you have in mind?" she said with a smile.
"We still have an hour ..."
"Just say it before the hour is over, Mal." She had to smile because he looked so shy. She wondered what he wanted.
"Would you shower with me?" he finally asked. "It would be my pleasure." She smiled wider.
"After you, Captain," she says, looking towards the bathroom. "Oh, no," he replied, "Ladies first!"
***********************
About three hours later, the shuttle docked again with the Serenity. When all hydraulic locking mechanisms were locked and the airlock connected, both remained in their seats.
Inara looked at Mal, Mal continued to look straight ahead. She lowered her eyes and was about to get up when Mal put his hand on her knee and ran his fingers over the material of the stocking.
The warmth of his hand seemed to flow through her whole body and still a shiver ran over her. For a while they both sat next to each other, almost motionless. Inara tried to look into his eyes, but he wouldn't let her.
The only movement was Mal's finger on her leg until that movement also died and he took his hand back.
"Thank you very much for your administrative assistance, but now I shouldn't keep you from traveling home any longer." he said, looking in her general direction still without actually establishing eye contact.
Inara nodded. "You're welcome! I was happy to help." She waited just a second to see if he wanted to say anything else.
When he remained silent, she rose and left the shuttle, followed by him. They went down the stairs to the loading bay in silence and crossed it. Inara was just about to enter the transition to her ship when she heard it.
"'Nara" His voice almost died on his lips. He looked like he'd accidentally said her name, like he didn't want to say it out loud. Now he finally looked her in the eye one more time.
But again there was silence between them. Inara didn't know what Mal wanted to say, whether he wanted to say something at all.
She had so much more to say herself, but she didn't know how. She wanted to thank him. For the time that they had just spent together again. For being able to feel his hands on her body one last time. For the possibility of having at least shared some of her feelings with him.
And she wanted to ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness for every time she hurt him. For any pain she had unintentionally caused over the years. And forgiveness for just not being able to tell him any of this.
Inara knew that the two were made for each other. They were meant to be together. Unfortunately not in this life.
Inara put all these feelings into her last sentence: "Mal" She put her hand on one side of his face and looked deep into his eyes one last time. Then she kissed his cheek, closed her eyes and whispered close to his face "I'm so sorry! I love you!"
She absorbed this feeling that the closeness of his body made her feel for one last moment. With downcast eyes because she didn't want Mal to see her tears, Inara left the Serenity, probably for ever.
