Winning

AN: Thank you for the reviews! Ellisguy: there are 7 people, I can see where you were confused, I meant that 1 person out of 7 would look around at the other 6 and see them all the time :)

Snapping the Trap

"So, ya forgive me?" he asked as he pulled up her dress and started licking around her belly button.

"No, but I don't need romance and flowers right now, I just need this," she grasped him through his clothes, rubbing a few times over his bulge. He dropped his head down on to her stomach and groaned, leaving off his tongue's attentions.

Now that she could breathe again she said, "The fact that you are attached to what I need is merely coincidental."

Jayne growled and looked up into her mocking grin. He did the only thing he knew to get the smile off her face and captured her lips with his. Yup, the smile was definitely gone and so was her control once again, which meant that Jayne was driving. Which meant that things progressed quickly.

He briefly rolled off so that he could undo his pants, and surprisingly enough he had the presence of mind to close the door of the pantry. She pulled her dress off as soon as he rolled away. She knew from experience that if she still had clothing on when he came back, it would be gone very soon, usually with a giant tear down the center.

Jayne was not a subtle man, if he wanted something, he was going to get it. Which is why she couldn't understand why he wouldn't tell everyone about them. It was clear that he wanted her. If it hadn't been clear after the first time, then the second and third time he jumped her that same day should have clarified things.

She wanted him just as much. After all, who had done the first jumping? So, why? Other than his fear of painful death, what stopped him from openly taking what he wanted? He was Jayne Cobb, no one and nothing stood in his way.

River wanted to come out, Jayne didn't. It's what they had fought about yesterday, and the week before that, and the month before that . . .

In fact, since two months into their affair, when Jayne had outright refused a whore who had come on to him in a bar, they had been having this fight. No one ever won and no compromises had been made, eventually she would need Jayne more than she needed her anger.

Plus, she supposed it wasn't the most irrational fear of painful death. But she had had enough and this time the fight would end.
