Dig A Hole And Climb... Part 2: ~ SNEAKY SCOUNDRELING ~

Back at the house River'd found earlier, Kaylee climbed the stairs up to the second floor where the bed was, River right behind her. Their hoverbike was parked out front with all the digging tools and equipment they'd scrounged in the trailer attached to it.

Kaylee was signing a Kelly Lee Fong song as best she could. One called Wo Toutoumomo De Wulai, River humming along absently in her wake. They'd made a game of it while hunting out tools and getting them stowed away, taking turns singing songs they knew to pass the time and stay awake. The title of this song pretty much meant I'm A Sneaky Scoundrel in English. Was about a woman who tricked a beautiful man into falling in love with her, because the man was just too dense to come to the conclusion himself. Growing up, the song had always made Kaylee laugh... well, that and swear she'd never catch herself being that hard up to find a date. Course, sometime thereafter, when she'd found herself with only the Captain, Jane, and a married man for steady male company, she'd been able to relate more to it some... She'd actually felt tempted to do some sneaky scoundreling on Simon once or twice, because he certainly had been dense enough that way to need it. Not that she was going to admit that to River. Not until they'd been married at least a few more months.

Despite herself and their troubles, Kaylee was laughing by the time they got to the bedroom. River was giggling too and Kaylee turned to her, walking backward a few steps as she did. Their eyes met, and River smiled a tired but relieved sort of smile. "It always makes me so happy when you laugh like that." River confessed to her.

Kaylee walked to her then and took her hands in hers. "I'm sorry." She told her.

"But, what for?" River asked, her voice light but thoughtful. She sounded like she was perplexed, but also like she didn't really mind being perplexed because other things mattered more to her now than being perplexed... like moving in closer and breathing in their closeness.

Kaylee's heart fluttered in her chest a little as she did the same. Being this close to her wife, it always made her come alive more, no matter what. "I don't know. For being stupid maybe?" Kaylee asked softly.

"You aren't though." River told her in a gentle, genuine voice.

Kaylee smiled. "What am I then?" She asked back.

"Thoroughly beautiful...?" River asked in a sexy, if also slightly timid voice. "In every way?" The last said in almost a whisper.

Kaylee felt herself shiver a little at that. "I am, huh?" She asked.

"You are." River promised her earnestly. She sighed. "You're also scared for them. For the little boy, most of all. But you're facing that fear, you're acting to save them, and you're here with me... and you still sing songs and laugh... and you still stay with me, still love..." She told her, bringing a hand up to place over Kaylee's heart. "That's not being stupid. That's, in truth, the very opposite of being stupid. That's what being brave is..."

River moved forwards and kissed her, soft and sweet and Kaylee felt her eyes flutter closed as she melted into it, her mind going just plain blank for a long, drawn out moment.

At length though, River stopped the kissing in stages, stared into her eyes in a very peaceful way, and spoke. "Follow me?" She asked, then walked off passed her, leaving Kaylee just standing there dumbstruck a moment.

The moment passed quickly though and she turned around to see River taking off her clothes as she walked towards the bathroom. Kaylee watched after her, enthralled, until her wife disappeared from view within the bathroom. She looked down at herself, at her shirt, and started to unbutton buttons.

When her shirt was undone, she realized she should start walking, so she did, hurriedly getting out of her clothes as she went.

Inside the bathroom, River was running hot water into a very spacious and heavenly looking tub, no clothes on her. Kaylee smiled and just enjoyed the view, her lips quirking into a somehow amused, if also very appreciative, smile. Taking off her socks, which were the last of her clothing, she went over and sat on the edge of the tub. When River looked up from what she'd been doing, their eyes met and River smiled in contentment. "Hi, you." River greeted her.

"Hi, to you too, jiaren." Kaylee spoke playfully. "Nimen shi bushi yao chengwei yige egun toutoumomo gen wo, wo de qizi de?" She asked, moving in close as River sat down next to her.

River smiled. "Maybe just a little bit..." She admitted simply as she moved in to kiss her again.

Kaylee swallowed as their lips met. They shared kisses as they made their way into the tub and started washing each other.

It all felt so good, so just... healing.

At one point, they did trade orgasms, but... it had been as much about a release of tension and stress as it had been about pleasure, though, of course, there'd been pleasure too.

At length, clean, dead tired, and in better spirits, the two sunk into bed together and fell off to sleep in each other's arms as soon as their heads hit the pillows.

Chinese translations:

Wo Toutoumomo De Wulai = I'm A sneaky Scoundrel

"jiaren" = "beautiful woman"

"Nimen shi bushi yao chengwei yige egun toutoumomo gen wo, wo de qizi de?" = "Are you trying to be a sneaky scoundrel with me, wife of mine?"

(please note: I'm only getting my Chinese from Google Translate, so I can't guarantee it's accurate at all)
