Inara and Mal and a lazy rainy morning.


CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 3824    RATING: 9    SERIES: FIREFLY

Snuggling under the covers, Inara listened to the rainfall. Her eyes fluttered closed again, the soft putter of morning rain gently falling on the roof made her feel lonely.

The body that slept next to her stirred, Mal’s arm curled around her waist pulling her closer to him. She scooted her body back until her bottom nestled against his groin. Waiting for him to wake up, she ran her fingertips lightly along the strong arm that held her. He moved again, his other arm sliding under her head, his face burying against her neck before falling back asleep.

Needing him awake, she strategically squirmed and was rewarded with an unmistakable indication that he was, indeed, awake. Or at least parts of him were. He mumbled a sleepy pretend objection but his arm tightened around her.

Reaching back, she placed her hand on his hip, nudging him even closer. She felt him grin before he placed the tenderest of kisses at the base of her nape. She shivered before stretching her neck, giving him more room to kiss. He obliged. The morning stubble on his chin and cheeks pleasantly scraping her skin as his lips kissed their way from her ear down her neck to her collar bone.

She smiled, a contented sigh wafting from her. “Mmmmm…”

Slowly, Mal slid his hand from her hip down to her thigh. She didn’t move. Instead, she just let herself feel. Feel his calloused hand drift over her leg, feel his lips softly kiss the back of her neck, his tongue caressing the sensitive place behind her ear he knew she loved.

Mal’s arm under her head straightened. One hand grasped hers while his other hand explored. Lightly gliding along her thigh, her hip, her waist up and higher until his fingers brushed her breast. Cupping one breast, his thumb rubbed the taut nipple all the while trailing hot, wet kisses over her neck and along the line of her shoulder.

She lifted her hand behind to curl her fingers in his hair. Her toes caressed his leg, her knee bending upward, opening herself to him. Mal inhaled sharply, his caresses grew more impassioned. Refusing to relinquish his hold on her breast, his other hand let go of hers to trail down her body to touch her. His jagged breath was hot against her neck as his fingers fondled her. His other hand on her breast, cupping then squeezing giving her the pressure she needed.

His knee slid between hers. She shifted, giving his hand better access to her. Mal pressed closer to her, his weight heavy and welcome against her back. Her hand, still on his hip, slid down around the muscles behind, encouraging him.

“Mal…please,” she moaned.

She smiled with delight as Mal murmured words of love in her ear before lifting her hip to slide into her. His thrusts were deliciously slow; his hands delectably strong. One hand on her breast squeezing, the other rubbing at her with two wet, knowing fingers, carefully, a steady and insistent rhythm that charged her, all over, electric, wild.

“I love you.” Again and again, he whispered in her ear, “I love you.”

Her eyes opened to see rain splashing against the big window next to her bed. The sudden clap of thunder finally nudged her fully awake and for a split second, she almost thought he was really there. Pulling the covers tighter around her, Inara listened to the rainfall.

Great story and very well written. Its nice to see a more tender side of Mal but I was a little disapointed with the end. Would have liked to see them together but great writing. Looking forward to more.

Aww, I like the ending. It's artsy.

This reminds me a little bit of GillianRose's shuttle scene. But without the sheer panic, and with a tone and feel all it's own. :)

I love the snuggly morning sexiness, and the emotionally jarring ending really evokes grief and regret.

If Inara has to have a daydream she would be hard put to find a better one than this though it is sad it was only a dream. Ali D :~)

Inara without Mal is as sad as a Mal without Inara.
I really like this:

“I love you.” Again and again, he whispered in her ear, “I love you.”

very nice

My question is, is Inara dreaming of something she'd like to be doing with Mal? Or remembering a time when she had Mal to do that with, and is now alone?

You could see it that way too, and make it even more sad, wondering what has happened to Mal that has left Inara alone - yes, I can't help it, I always see the tragic angles ;oD

Lovely story, Charlie! I'm going to do one of those comment things we were talking about, and echo GillianRose about how the ending really adds to the piece that sense of grief and regret. Beautiful!
