Perfect Drug

The warm cloudy waters of the deep bath lapped softly at Kaylee’s upper chest. It was odd that in such a warm intimate moment between her and her lover and all she could think about was how many cubic centimeters of water were in the tub, and how much of a waste it was for just two people to be enjoying it… well not totally a waste. It did allow her and Inara to both enjoy the heat… and the warm water.

Kaylee smiled to herself as she laid her head against Inara’s shoulder, her thoughts warmly reliving how insistent the older woman had been that Kaylee join her. Kaylee knew the act was as much about getting clean as it wasn’t, but this was beside the point. She wanted to spend the time with Inara, close to her. Preferably pressed against her, in some fashion, not exclusively sexual in nature, it was the contact that was important.

Besides, Inara wanted her here and Kaylee wanted to be here. Kaylee had wanted this for so long that every moment was sacred. She closed her eyes, her body feeling the humidity of the room, her nose scenting the lavender bath oils Inara had put in. She felt the darker haired woman adjust her hold on her body, one of her hands caressing her stomach and abdomen. Kaylee felt Inara’s tongue slide up her neckline.

"oh…’Nara…mmmm." Kaylee became lost to the pleasure of Inara’s touch as one of her hands skittered over her stomach as another cupped a ripe breast.

"Mmmm…oh ‘Nara… ya don’t have to be my compani-"

"Shuu…" Inara kissed just behind Kaylee’s ear. "I’ll never play companion with you bao bai…never." Inara’s words carried the weight of ten thousand days. Kaylee knew this was a never in a month of Sundays thing. The olive skinned woman sighed, regret her implying Inara was being insincere playing over her like the fingers of a pianist over elegant ivory keys.

"I love you Kaylee…" Inara’s voice came as quiet and beautiful as a whisper on the wind. There was a soft pause, Kaylee swallowed, feeling Inara pull her tighter into a hold, nestling her face into Kaylee’s neck.

"Sorry ‘Nara…I…" Kaylee choked on the words, she almost regretted thinking them. She did love Inara, and wanted to spend the rest of her days with the ethereal woman, but she didn’t want her to feel obliged to entertain her all the time. She just wanted them to…well, be them. Kaylee had worried about this, but repressed it, not wanting the pleasure of the time they got to spend together to be marred by her worry.

"Shh…I know Kaylee." Inara was cradling Kaylee’s head, she pressed her lips lightly to Kaylee’s temple. "I could never act with you if I tried." Inara’s voice light, but thoughtful. Kaylee was no companion, but she knew Inara had been thinking similar thoughts; her voice carried too much weight. It was strange at how little needed to be said between the two, it was almost like when she had an engine to deal with, she just knew. Sadly, engines were easy. When it came to turning metal parts once she fixed the problem it went away, with worries they just kept resurfacing. This caused her to worry more so, a cycle of worry upon cursed worry.

Kaylee relaxed back into Inara’s hold, the pain of what she had just said baring on her exposed shoulders. Inara pressed Kaylee’s head into her bare chest, resting her chin on Kaylee’s head, caressing her cheek soothingly with her thumb.

" ‘Nara I…" Kaylee’s voice was a whisper of anguish, love and self directed anger. Inara held Kaylee a little tighter.

"I feel it too bao bai. Things may…take some time, but…they will work out." Inara heard Kaylee’s hand break the water, and rise to touch her face, the companion leaned into the touch of the other woman breathing words out slowly.

"I promise they will work out bao bai."

The two sat quietly in the warm waters, time passing leisurely. Inara caressing Kaylee’s body, not out of obligation, more out of need to touch Kaylee, to feel her. Kaylee relaxed, relenting to Inara’s soft plying of her body wanting and needing to be touched by the other woman as she had needed to touch Inara the night before. The moments passed, the two lovers relaxed more and more, till little memory of the few tense moments showed on their features. Inara’s hand again cupped Kaylee’s breast, her right hand sliding up and down her abdomen. Kaylee breathed out slowly, closing her eyes as Inara’s lips pressed hot and moist to her shoulder and collar bone. "huhnnnn…" Kaylee shifted a little as Inara kissed her way up to Kaylee’s ear. "I can stop bao bai." Soft and seductive against her ear. Kaylee didn’t respond in so many words, she merely shifted her legs so that they were both raised and one was draped over Inara’s own, exposing her womanhood. Kaylee pressed into Inara’s hold the whole time she did adjusted her seating, her buttocks and hips pressing into Inara’s crotch sending hot pleasure lancing though the older woman.

Inara smiled to herself. Her hand slipping from Kaylee’s abdomen, slipping lower, caressing her lover's soft, sweet flesh. Kaylee moaned, her head rested snugly against Inara’s shoulder. She felt long slender fingers teasing her nipple, a hot mouth firmly prying its way into her own, and a hand venturing futher and futher down a path of no return.

Inara’s hot and sweet tongue pressed its way into her mouth, claiming it for her own, the older woman’s tongue, like silk, over her own. Inara forced her hand up out of the water to touch Kaylee’s face, as much as she wanted to touch her elsewhere, she needed to satisfy Kaylee just as much. Kaylee moaned softly, an almost humming sound, Inara was pleased. Her lover was relaxed, she felt safe.

The kiss reigned for an eternity, Inara at some point, Kaylee couldn’t tell when, resumed her free hand's descent. Fingers slipped over Kaylee’s bare chest, touching, massaging her exposed breast, her stomach. Kaylee’s mind failed to register much else, she wasn’t bothered either, heaven didn’t feel this good.

Inara’s fingers slid through Kaylee’s small forest of light brown curls, she resumed kissing Kaylee’s neck, her lover's head laid across her breast. The companion mused that this must have looked like a scene described by Voltaire; two lovers intertwined in lovemaking Inara sighed happily, she had wanted so much to touch her sweet Kaylee, to pleasure her lover.

Her hand resumed its downward spiral toward Kaylee’s aching core, her skin lost in the smoothness of her skin, the heat of her womanhood. Kaylee moaned loudly as two long slender fingers began exploring her soft lotus petal like lips, caressing her most sensitive apex, slipping down the outer riges of her hot wet channel. Kaylee wriggled in Inara’s hold, spreading her legs as polar opposites, hoping that by exposing more, more would be touched by her goddess lover.

Inara kissed Kaylee on her forehead a moment before her thumb brushed the younger woman’s apex, her long fingers parting Kaylee’s delicate petal like folds.

"Haaaa…oh…’Nara…ahh" Kaylee’s midrange voice breaking into octaves usually untouched by the mechanic.

"Shuu…my sweet." Inara held her lover tighter, her finger probing the sensitive slick flesh hidden by her lovely folds. Kaylee continued to writhe, her whole being wanting Inara to end her sweet suffering. The companion did not, her fingers paused in their exploration, her lips sealing around Kaylee’s in one last kiss. Kaylee pushed into the kiss, trying to alleviate the monstrous tension she was feeling, her need to be released, her need for Inara to have her way so she could soar once again.

Inara's slender finger slipped around Kaylee’s centre. Kaylee moaned, loudly. She reclined, giving herself to the older woman. Two long slender fingers slipped past her innermost sanctum, probing her slick sweet depths. Inara pressed her lips to Kaylee’s neck, the sweet spot the younger woman was so aware of, her finger all the time seeking the other woman’s core.

"ahhhh…haaa!" Kaylee screamed, her pleasure at its most intimate, Inara’s finger and thumb eliciting that one last overwhelming leap. Kaylee arched in Inara’s arms, her whole body gripped with burning passion. Inara pressed deeper. Kaylee’s whole body seceded to wave upon wave of pleasure, the companion's thumb pressing into her apex, her fingers splaying for the most intoxicating wave of pleasure. Kaylee bucked, writhed, her walls clenching about Inara’s delicate fingers, her wetness consuming her and escaping her in one beautiful moment of pure ecstasy.

Kaylee collapsed into Inara’s warm, loving hold, the companion both holding her and helping her ride out the last moment's of white hot pleasure. Kaylee felt like the victim of blunt force trauma, she didn’t know what was going on. It was all dusted with a beautiful haze, a warmth of contact with an angelic lover. The younger woman vaguely registered being kissed softly, little pecks on her brow and temple. She felt the hot warm skin of Inara against her cheek, the other woman’s hands stroking her head, one against her back.

Kaylee tried to speak more than once but failed. She couldn’t grasp at words or sounds, her head was too empty. Inara cooed over her, rocking her, whispering how much she loved her, how much she had wanted to touch her, appreciate her. Kaylee could only smile her eyes closed in sweet surrendering. The two sat for a long time. The moment came to an end when there was a sharp knock on the suite's door.

"Jen dao mei." Inara muttered.

"mmm…maybe they will go away?" Kaylee whispered her sweet clipped tone cascading off the tiled walls.

"humm…I think not bao bai. I’m sorry…"

"ow…ok…I suppose. Just give me a minute or two." Inara smiled, kissed Kaylee on the nose.

"no rush."

Water clattered from Inara’s body as she emerged from the generous bathtub, allowing Kaylee to relax a moment more. She quickly dabbed the remaining moisture from her body with a plush towel and slipped into a billowy robe. Kaylee loved it when she wore the robe, said it showed off her womanliness the most out of all her clothes, she wanted to borrow it sometime, saying it smelt like her. ‘Perhaps I'll get one for her while we're here and give it to her…after I’ve worn it perhaps.’ She crossed to the door like a feather floating on a pool of water, opening the door with a soft natural grace. The manager of the bed and breakfast stood in the doorway with a brown paper covered box. Inara smiled, pressing a slender finger to her lips, out of the corner of her ear she could hear Kaylee emerging from the tub, humming.

"here’s what you asked for Miss Serra…" Whispering she thrust the box toward Inara, who smiled.

"Thank you so much, may I settle the bill later?"

"of course, shall I add it to the room bill?"

"please, thank you again…this will make someone very happy." The manager woman grinned a sly grin, she had seen her fair share of lovers breeze in for a weekend of passion. Something in her gut told her that these two were not just a weekend tryst, there was more substance to them, the older of the two radiated an aura of calm loving acceptance. "I should hope so…you look after that someone now Miss Serra…" She smiled again and excused herself.

Inara turned closing the door. She walked to the nice ornate table and placed the box on it, carefully unwrapping the brown paper and removing some of its contents.

"What was that about bao bai?" Kaylee stood in the doorway of the bathroom. Inara turned, palming what she had removed from the box.

"close your eyes bao bai…"

"Mm, okay…" Kaylee closed her eyes, a little grin playing over her face. Inara grinned, steeping up to the woman, her hand caressing Kaylee’s cheek, she brought her mouth to Kaylee’s ear and whispered.

"Now open your mouth my sweet Kaylee…"
