Daydreaming


It was a slow day, as usual. There wasn't a job to be done, there wasn't anything that needed repairing, and there wasn't anyone who needed any debriefing or care. Kaylee sat in the engine room, in her hammock, wondering just how she was going to get over this intense boredom that had settled over her.

She had read just about every dirty little book that was on Serenity and had tried to read through some of Simon's medical book (to smartened herself up and impress him with what she knew), but that had put her to sleep about half a page in and, anyways, Simon had asked for it back so that he could study up diseases the crew and passengers of the Firefly class ship could potentially catch. Kaylee had sheepishly surrendered the heavy blue book back to him.

Kaylee leaned back in her hammock and closed her eyes. Simon. Now, that was something to think about. She had seen just once without his shirt on and, Lord, was she impressed with what she had seen. It wasn't just that he was cute and smart and funny, in shy, schoolboy way. He was like a walking god on Serenity for Kaylee. He was something completely inaccessible, but beautiful and exotic nevertheless.

"Kaylee?"

Kaylee's eyes snapped open and she hopped out of her hammock at once. Simon.

"Hi, Simon," she said with a smile. She tried to rub some of the grease off of her face with her sleeve. Wait, hadn't he said he found her the most sexy when she was covered in engine grease. No. He had called her pretty, but it amounted to the same thing in her mind. "What are you doing in here?"

"I was looking for you," he said. Kaylee swallowed. Did he know that he wasn't wearing a shirt? Did he know how good he looked with sweat glistening on his neck and chest, trailing in a perfect line into his pants? She wanted to rip those khaki colored pants right down from his hips and take him right then and there. Her heart was pounding like crazy. She tried swallowing again and tried to look only at his beautiful face. "I just felt like talking to you."

Oh, really? Because I just feel like letting you have your way with me, Kaylee thought, trying desperately to cool herself down. She could act like an adult like Simon always did instead of a sex-crazed teenager which she basically was, give or take a few years. Kaylee sat down in her hammock again and gestured for him to climb in. He simply shook his head and Kaylee needed a moment to get over the disappointment before she could speak.

"That's sweet," she murmured. "What do you want to talk about so badly?"

Suddenly, Simon was right in front of her and all she could see was the bulge in his pants. Then hands, delicate but strong, doctor's hands, were on the flesh just below her armpits, pulling her to her feet. Kaylee opened her mouth, completely startled. Her wide eyes hunted Simon's for some kind of clue or hint. Simon smiled down at her face.

"You."

"Me? But, Simon, I'm so boring. L-let's talk about you. You're the worlds famous doctor, after all. I'd much rather hear about that than-"

Simon crushed his lips down onto hers and slid his hands down her sides until he could grip her hips. Pulling her closer, Simon began to explore Kaylee's mouth with his tongue and she thrilled to let him do so. In fact, she did everything she could to make him want her even more than he apparently already did.

Then his hands drifted upward and fumbled fiercely with the buttons on her coveralls. Once he freed her from them and they were nothing but a puddle on the floor, Simon set to work ripping open the shirt she had on underneath. She shivered at each rip of fabric, each snap of button on the engine room floor. She was pressed against a wall and she had no clue when he moved her there or if she walked backwards on her own, leading him, but the press of metal against her back and the press of Simon against her front was driving her wild.

"Oh, God, Simon," she gasped as he suckled on the side of her neck. "You're driving me crazy, Simon!"

"Kaylee?"

Her eyes snapped open to find Inara staring at her with a bemused smile on her face. Kaylee's breath was coming in short pants and her skin was red and slick to the touch. Her hair was disheveled and the shorter bits were damp on her forehead and hanging down into her eyes. Kaylee closed her mouth, which looked swollen, and swallowed hard.

Inara's smile widened as Kaylee stood up and tried to pull herself together.

"Good dream?" Inara asking with her all-too-knowing smile. Kaylee blushed. Why Inara always have to know? Kaylee fingered her lips. And, why were her lips so swollen if it was only a dream?

"Very good one." She cleared her throat and brushed at her coveralls. God, she felt awkward. "I'll be down in my room if anyone needs me."

"Have a delightful finish," Inara after her as Kaylee hurried away. The Companion crossed her arms over her chest and smiled. "You deserve one, mei mei."

Kaylee scooted down into her bunk and shut the door with a loud bang.

Oh, I plan to, she thought and flopped down onto her bed.
