Author's Note: A one shot for my PPF: Future series. Oh how I wished these three could have happened.


In Between

Emily was warm, safe and loved. She was sheltered between two sleeping bodies, comforted as their arms and their legs entwined together around her. Her men had no strength any more, they had no fight left within them as their once ragged heavy breathing softened to gentle and worn out breaths.

Emily looked at her sleeping lovers. They were peaceful now, soothed into a pleasured slumber instead of burnt out in a destructive, messed up heap. With Emily, they couldn't be as brutal or hard as they were with just the two of them. Her presence demanded the men have some control, she insisted on it…most of the time.

They didn't mind being gentle for her.

Emily kissed the chest of her captain, smiling as the tingle of her lips made him wriggle in an adorable manner. In reaction to his partner's stirring, their man from the future nuzzled into Emily's neck and his gentle snores breathed warmly against her skin. Emily shifted a little to get some more feeling back into her worn body and the two of them moved with her out of reflex. Once she settled, they aligned together perfectly, with her in between and Emily Merchant finally allowed herself to join them in slumber.
