Lance Daniels<br/>Position: Engineer<br/>Location: Upper Engine Room<br/>Tagged: Sophie<br/>Mentioned: Braxton<br/><br/><em>Stay strong.</em>Lance did his best to bite his tongue as Sophie continued talking about the captain, only reluctantly agreeing to steer clear of him, as though it were some great sacrifice.  Likewise, he had to remain silent when Sophie called him a strong man, something that a woman would only consider saying if attempting to manipulate him.<br/><br/>When Sophie pressed back and rubbed against him, Lance betrayed surprise for the first time.  Granted, his face had shown disbelief more than once at her responses, but not outright shock until now.  The moan only made it worse.  He'd pressed back for a moment before stepping back, looking away with a series of blinks.<strong>"Okay, not mad.  Anger is nowhere near the overwhelming thought right now, but you need to go."</strong><br/><br/>Panic had overtaken him by the time the announcement came on.  He wasn't panicked by the announcement, quite the opposite.  In fact, the urgency of the new situation was something of a relief for him.  Now she had to leave.  He was safe.  She even said so herself, though the kiss shee gave him might have made him reconsider otherwise.  He watched her leave, fear yielding to desire, desire momentarily yielding to curiosity, and curiosity running from extreme irritation at having to work instead of being able to go to his bunk and masturbate.
