Zoe:

We were finally on Bernadette.

Serenity touched down around thirty minutes ago. It took us only ten minutes for Jayne, Mal, and I to load their cargo and now we were just waiting for the companions hired gun. That set Jayne in a fine mood, he walked up the catwalk grumbling about how it was unprofessional to keep your clients waiting. I followed him.

We watched as Mal and Inara, greeted our passengers, John and Bethanie. They were acting exactly like Kaylee and Simon which made us all cringe. One overly expressive couple was one thing, but two was pushing it. At least the older couples kept it in the bunk. I had to stop myself there. Was Jayne and I, a couple?

“What are we doing?” I asked Jayne who was standing next to me on the catwalk.

He took my hand, “I don’t know yet, bao bei, just let whatever this is happen. It’s been along time since I’ve done this whole relationship stuff, so you’re gonna have to let me fumble through it, dong ma?” he said and I nodded.

“I’ll try not to pick at it,” I touched his back and he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. Then he gasped and stilled against me.

“Jayne, What?” I looked at his face and he was as pale as a ghost.

“Son of a whore!” he yelled running down the catwalk. I followed his eyes. He was running after the companion’s hired man who just strolled in.

“Jayne!” I screamed out and the hired man looked up with fear in his eyes. He went for his gun, but Jayne was already there. He kicked him with all his force in the balls and then punched the man in the mouth.

For just a moment Mal and everyone watched stunned as Jayne began litterally, wiping the floor with the hired gun.

“So much for his protection!” I heard Bethanie say in shocked horror as I grabbed Jayne’s arm from punching the already battered man to death. Mal grabbed his torso and Simon grabbed his other arm. We just barely managed to pull him off.

“What the Hell is going on?” Mal yelled, struggling to hold Jayne down. “Jayne, stop trying to kill my pay day!’

The hired gun stood up on unsteady feet and ran out of Serenity.

“Get off of me, Mal,” Jayne yelled, pushing Simon to the floor so he could wrestle Mal. I let him go after seeing just how far he threw Simon off of his left arm. I couldn’t imagine how far he’d launch me.

“Jayne, ease up,” I pleaded as Jayne punched Mal in the stomach. Mal gasped winded and let him go. I stood in Jayne’s way my hands up. Jayne looked at me with feral eyes. “Tell me what’s going on and I’ll let you go!” I said and he looked past me.

“It don’t matter much more now, he’s gone!” he yelled.

“Who was he?” I asked as he paced angrily in front of me.

“ He was the guy who got away!” Jayne said and my eyes grew wide.

“Ta ma de, that was him?” I whispered shocked, it really was a small verse.

“I’m going after him!” Jayne said and turned around right into Mal’s fist. Jayne didn’t fall from the blow, but he got a nice shiner.

“Enlighten me, Zoe!” Mal said holding his stomach. I was surprised Jayne didn’t strike him back. I shook my head.

“Ain’t my story to tell, sir,” I said. “But I’ll tell you,” I turned to John and Bethanie who were standing by Inara and Kaylee, “He wasn’t worth your money.”

“Obviously,” John, the male companion said. “How much is he?” he asked of Jayne. I looked at Jayne and Jayne shook his head.

“I ain’t for sale. I got other business,” he stalked out the cargo bay.

“Zoe, somebody best get to explaining what happened here!” he yelled and I looked at him.

“Old bloody business, sir,” I said running after Jayne.

Jayne:

I punched the wall of my bunk and I heard a gasp behind me. It wasn’t Zoe, as I expected, it was River.

“You’re red,” she whispered and I looked at her hands just to see if was safe.

“I got business girlie so get!” I screamed at her, she backed away wide eyed.

“It’s-it’s just…you look better in purple, now!’ she said and raced out there. I knew I was giving off some very unfriendly vibes.

She left and Zoe came in, locking the hatch, “ Jayne…” she began and I cut her off.

“Don’t, just don’t,” I warned. I was loading Vera.

“Listen to me Jayne!” she yelled and I looked at her.

“He ain’t worth it, you get caught killing here, they’ll put you to death!” she touched my hand where I was loading Vera.

“It don’t matter,” I said and she looked at me as if I slapped her. She pulled Vera out of my hands and slapped me, hard.

“It matters to me you big idiot!” she said, her eyes were full of unshed tears. “If you kill him, all you’re gonna get is your death, nothing more! It’s not going to make you feel better and it’s not going bring back your family!”

“You don’t understand,” I cried. “He knocked me out, he tied me up! I could have stopped it all if I weren’t chained to a post in a barn on the other side of town!”

“’Member when I went after the Reavers at Mr. Universe’s, wanted to kill them all myself, and I tried, and all I got was almost dead. If you didn’t come and get me they’d have ripped me apart!” she said, and I still didn’t see her point. “You pulled me out that, and now I’m going to pull you out of this.” And then she kissed me! Of all things…I pulled back.

“I can’t, I gotta do this Zo, he don’t deserve to live! He help--” I tried to explain as she kissed me again, this time she held my face with her hands and she pressed her body against mine.

“Let it go, you‘ve already spilt his blood,” she whispered her hands going underneath my shirt. Her hand was over my heart. “Let it go.” she begged and I cried. “It’s over, Jayne, his death won’t solve anything else. He was just another money hungry scoundrel, who made a bad choice, let him live with that choice,” Zoe whispered.

“Please let me go,” I begged her and she wiped my tears.

“Never,” she kissed me again and I pulled her to me.

Zoe:

He broke my heart and remade it with bits of him inside of it, I realized. He laid me down on his bed. I had to laugh when I removed the small grenade carefully from his belt.

“It was in case he ran again,” he explained and I shook my head. He captured my lips in a kiss again as he unbuttoned my shirt.

“You sure about this Zoe?” he asked me and I nodded. I let him help me take off my shirt. My legs were around his waist and he pushed me down so I was flat on my back on the bed. He lift one leg and removed my boot and then he did the same to the other.

I put my hands under his shirt again feeling his strong muscles, and he kissed me again, his tongue slipping into my mouth, his hands were running down the sides of my body. I arched into him; His touch, his taste, I moaned. He broke away briefly to remove his shirt. And I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as he kissed my neck.

I could feel him through his pants I arched my body so I was rubbing against him. He kissed my collarbone, as his fingers reached around me and found the hook of my bra. He gently removed my bra, placing a small kiss on both of my breast, before he cupped them and squeezed gently. I moaned, and he kissed my stomach, pausing in his decent he licked my belly button. I ran my hands over the back of his head. He unbuckled my belt and undid my pants. He sat up to pull off my pants, I lifted my hips up to help him.

He threw my pants in the corner of his bunk. He did the same to my panties. I gasped and moaned when he mouth kissed the top of my mound.

“Jayne,’ I moaned and he smiled.

“Yeah,” he said.

“You don’t have to,” I said squirming and then I gasped out when he licked me.

“I know that, but what if I wanna?” he said, his goatee was rubbing against the insides of my thighs creating incredible sensations. He kissed the inside of one thigh as I undulated against him. His tongue went inside me as his thumb found my clit… rubbing circles. I moaned and arched and undulated, breathlessly. I was close to coming. I said so, and he grinned.

“Don’t let me stop you,” he growled, entering a finger inside of me, stroking me, and I threw myself against his bed and came, with a cry. Distantly, I heard Jayne laugh. “I think you can do that again,” he said and I shook my head. He nodded and began licking my clit.

“God, Jayne,” I cried out. I tried to close my legs, but he held me open with his hands and I could already feel it beginning to grow again. “Jayne, oh god, Jayne,” I cried out over and over again and then I exploded, shaking around him. He let me go and I collapsed against the bed boneless.

Jayne rose and took off his boots and then his pants, I watched him, quietly contently. “Well aren’t you looking like Aphrodite,” he teased when he finally came back to me, settling in between my legs. I ran my feet over his calves and he kissed me again. He slid into me and I cried out in pain. I was tight and he was large, and it had been awhile… for the both of us.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered and I rolled my eyes.

“I knew what I was signing up for,” I smiled and then moaned as the sharpness faded into a wonderful throbbing sensation.

“Ain’t gonna last long,” he groaned in my ear as he gave me body as much time as he could stand to adjust. I began to move and he groaned amd bit my neck. I wrapped my legs around his waist. “God Zoe,” he kissed me where he bit and began to pull out; and then, when I least expected it he thrust into me again. I caught on to his rhythm and it felt so, so good.

“Close,” I said and he sped up. “Jayne… Jayne… Jayne,” I gasped out at the end of each thrust and then I came, squeezing him with everything I had and I cried.

“Zoe,” he gasped and I felt his release. He kissed me and then I realized that it wasn’t only my tears I felt. I wiped his and then he wiped mine. He rolled on his back and I placed my head on his chest.

Jayne:

I ran my fingers through her hair after we made love. Realizing that she had just saved me. Not only by not allowing me to kill that son of a bitch, but by helping figure out how to want to love again. I’m not saying that we’re desperately in love or that we’re getting married or nothing. I’m just saying for the first time in a long time I wanted to have something more than just a quick pay day.

Then I realized that Book wasn’t completely right. The bravest thing was not just to trust, that were only one part of it all. The bravest thing you could do was to live. Living and loving and moving on, knowing that maybe it won‘t all work out in the end, but being willing to try over and over again, that was what made a difference. I ain’t going sappy or nothing! It was just something I realized. I kissed Zoe’s forehead and she looked up at me and smiled contently. I smiled back just as content.

Part 8 is coming soon!

Holy...moly...that was amazing! And I ain't talking about the sex neither;)

Definitely was completely shocked shitless when Jayne just went at the nameless pile of hou zi fei hua...especially when Jayne opened with the Forbidden Blow and just went to town from there. Even more shocked when you had the battered gunhand turn out to be the survivor of the band of scum who killed Vera and Ruby. Now that was a twist worthy of Joss himself:D

Oh...and before I forget: the sex-related NC-17 moments? I am barely inches from being a puddle of goo on the floor cuz it was that good. Makes me have high hopes for my own adventures some time in the future, if you know what I mean;D

BEB

P.S. Eagerly await Part 8...cuz Mal (and John and Bethanie) will want answers why Jayne just laid waste to a supposed complete stranger and needed 3 people to publically hold him down...and Zoe to actually go into mighty emotional territory to get him to see reason:)

it was kindof an abrupt thrust into the NC-17 bit (no pun intended), but the afterthought for Jayne's POV really brought around the story arc.

as soon as jayne saw the guy, i knew he was that one who got away, and i was glad he got the stuffing knocked out of him!
