Aeris was grateful that he had picked up on and given her what she’d wanted, still feeling the heat on her breasts to remind her as she leaned against him, still trying to catch her breath as he nuzzled into her neck, earning one last soft sound from her. She let out a light, airy laugh before biting her lip lightly and smiling when he told her she could be that selfish any time. “Be careful what you wish for,” she warned with a sweet voice just before he kissed her. She closed her eyes, savoring it as the heat slowly faded, leaving only love in its place. She moved easily with him as he laid back and then moved so that they lay side by side. She snuggled into him, letting out a contented sigh, a smile on her face as she closed her eyes and relaxed into his arms, happy to stay in his arms for the night.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>It had been a long time since Aeris had slept this well, even longer since she had slept a full night. She awoke to a gentle caress on her cheek and a kiss on her forehead. She stirred lightly, conscious but not yet opening her eyes for a little while, just enjoying lying next to him for a time. “It’s rude to stare, you know,” she teased lightly as she slowly opened her emerald eyes to stare into his, smiling lightly, “Don’t worry, though, if it’s you, I don’t mind,” she assured him with the same light, teasing smile as she reached out and gently traced a finger across his cheek. “Good morning, love,” she greeted him sweetly, moving to kiss his cheek before snuggling into his arms, happy to stay there for at least a little longer.<br/><br/>She gathered by the bright sunlight coming through the window that it was already nearing mid-morning, which meant that she had slept for quite some time. “Huh,” she said as she leaned her head back a little to look at the light as it crept through the window, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this,” she commented absentmindedly, “It’s kind of nice,” she added, knowing full well that at least 90% of the reason she felt that way was him. “Did you sleep okay?” she asked, finding an excuse to lay there with him for a little longer.<br/><br/>Unlike him, she did not worry for Jax or An, as she could still feel them both. She gathered that they must be on the battlecruiser. This reminded her that they did still need to make it to the cruiser themselves, which meant that they needed to call a shuttle. Before that, though, she thought that they would both want to shower and perhaps get something to eat. She still did not immediately move, not feeling particularly hurried, but knowing that it was already mid-morning, she knew that it would be best if they not stay here too much longer.<br/><br/>With that, she sighed just a little, “Too bad we have to go back to the real world,” she mused, “I supposed I will go get cleaned up, though,” she said, leaning over to give him another gentle kiss before she sat up, staying that way for a moment before coaxing herself out of the bed. Once she was on her feet, she gathered up her clothes and began to walk towards the bathroom that was attached to the room, glancing back at him over her shoulder, “You’re welcome to join me,” she offered with that same devious grin, giving him a playful wink before she sauntered off into the other room. She had<span style="font-style: italic">mostly</span>been teasing, but she wouldn’t complain if he took her up on it. Then again, she also wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t. Either way, she turned the shower on, placed her clothes on the counter and then checking the water temperature before she climbed in.<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>Jax swallowed hard when she declared that she would have him until he begged her to stop. He didn’t doubt her words, which proved to be true as she nipped lightly at his skin as she made her way down until she once again rested between his legs. He decided that she was trying to drive him wild when she looked up at him as she took him into her hand, stroke his flesh, drawing out a moan as his body responded to her touch. And then she gave him that smile of hers, the look in her eyes telling him that she knew exactly what she was doing before she took him into her mouth again. He inhaled a sharp breath as she did but didn’t dare move as she continued until he had once again achieved an erection.<br/><br/>She then moved atop him once again, slowly trailing kisses back up his body and came to gaze down into his eyes before leaning down to bite at his other earlobe. He shuddered lightly as she whispered into his ear that she wanted him to take her. He didn’t respond with words, instead his arms around her and easily flipped her so that he was now once again on top of her. His eyes burned with the desire and need she had awoken in him as he took in the sight of her before leaning in to kiss her, it was hard, like the first time, full of passion, hunger, need.<br/><br/>He wanted all of her, trailing kisses across her skin as he had before, but this time they were not slow and gentle, but hungry. He trailed them down to her breasts, suckling, and nibbling each before he continued his venture down her abdomen until he was again between her legs. He didn’t ask permission this time as he took her flesh into his mouth, sucking, nipping, and licking the flesh, almost as though he would devour her. When he knew she had had enough, he trailed his own kisses back up her body as he moved over her again, positioning himself above her before kissing her deeply as he slowly pressed himself inside of her once again. He moved his hips rhythmically, the movements with smooth but quick, deep, seeking to bring them both to orgasm together, not allowing himself to reach completion until she had.<br/><br/>Panting, he moved to kiss her again, softer, sweet, pulling her to him tightly, his arms slipping around her fully as he held her close, moving to nuzzle into her hair and taking a slow breath. “Are you satisfied, my Princess?” he whispered in her ear, kissing it lightly before he rolled them over so that she once again rested on his chest. He toyed with her hair, traced his fingers over her cheek, admiring her beauty with an affectionate gaze. He was exhausted, his muscles feeling heavy and sore, sleep tugging lightly at his consciousness as he settled into a comfortable position in the bed.<br/><br/>He was happy to stay like this, to hold her in her arms and let sleep take them both. If she wasn’t satisfied, he would not truly stop until she was, he would love her, take her, consume her over and over until she was. She need only say the word and he would do everything in his power to satisfy her and more. But this time he really would need a rest, at least for a little while, before he would be ready. He feared that his body might not cooperate, and his mind was in perhaps even worse shape as the hormones that made him feel happy, content, satisfied, also seemed to make him sleepy. He gently kissed her forehead, closing his eyes and allowing sleep to take him, until or unless she chose to awaken him.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>The next morning Jax woke up feeling rested, happy. He looked down to find An still there and his heart leapt, feeling some relief that she’d not disappeared, that it hadn’t all been just a dream. He gently traced a finger across the skin of her back and leaned down to kiss her forehead before lying back and taking in a deep breath, sighing contentedly. He had no idea what time it was, as the were no windows to allow any light into the quarters, and the clock in the room was out of his line of sight, where he could not see it without disturbing the still sleeping woman on his chest. He decided it didn’t matter, he was content to stay there and allow her to sleep as long as she needed.<br/><br/>He did wonder how Aeris and Jax were doing. He didn’t feel them on the ship, but felt their distant presences on the planet below. He wondered if they would be returning to the ship on their own, if An planned to go to the planet to collect them, or if they planned to continue their mission on the planet’s surface. They had released some of the Force Sensitives who had only been children, but he didn’t wish to hope that this would be the case for those that remained. What was he to do? He didn’t immediately have an answer, but he didn’t wish to think about it right now. For the moment, he only wanted to hold her, to enjoy these quiet moments with her in his arms for as long as he could.
