Jayne practically drooled as he looked down at River. She was laying on her back and he decided it was time to put some sunscreen on her. With a huge smile, Jayne grabbed the bottle of sunscreen and squeezed it gently, spelling his name in a large bold script across her tummy.
River watched him. "What are you doing?" she asked, a bit frustrated that he hadn't started rubbing the lotion in yet and getting impatient for the pleasure to begin. He was her Adonis. She loved his broad shoulders and huge chest but his arms did something to her. All she wanted was to be held and protected in those strong arms. Her infatuation with him had been getting stronger and stronger the past year but even when they were at their darkest point and could barely tolerate each others presence, she remembered back to when she was accused of being a witch and tied to a stake with Simon. She would never forget the feelings that coursed through her when she glanced up into the sky as Serenity hovered above her and set eyes on her rescuer and protector. Jayne had looked like a god to her. A handsome, rugged and very tough god that was ready to lay waste to anyone who tried to harm her or Simon. The vision was embedded in her mind and she could think of many a time when she'd fallen asleep and dreamed of him.
"Markin' ya as mine. I wrote my name on yer tummy and I was just admirin' my work. It looks right nice it does," he grinned as he looked at her. "Why, ya gettin' horny for my hands to be on ya?"
She gave no verbal reply but instead, took his hands and placed them onto her stomach and arched up against him with a groan.
"Alrighty then, I'll take that as a yes" he smirked as he rubbed his palms in small circles on her exposed skin. She lay still now as he rubbed the lotion in, taking time to gently squeeze her breasts through her bikini top, and swirl lotion into her belly button. His fingers dipped below the elastic of her bikini bottom to rub the lotion in and she let out a moan and felt her legs fall open and heard Jayne groan.
Now Jayne had never been one for public sexin'. Normally he'd take care a his needs with a willing whore but they always stayed inside the whore house and never went outside but now he was fighting a powerful urge to take his gal right there on the lounger, under the shade of the palm trees in the great outdoors. They were still alone, the pool was practically empty today and he couldn't hear anyone near them. He was sure the tree's provided coverage as well so he decided to give in to his urge. He swatted her hand away from his trunks and leaned over her, sheltering her as he made her pant and beg as she came apart with a high pitched screech.

Kaylee was enjoying the lunch and the beautiful view of the hotel grounds. She noted the immaculate grounds and gazed down at the huge swimming pool below. There were no swimmers in the water which seemed sad as the pool was so inviting with it's promise of cool, soothing relief. She almost wished the Captain would let them swim for a few hours being that Jayne and River were technically guests. She heard a strange screeching sound and looked around but saw no birds or wild life. It almost sounded like River when she used to have one of her fits. Then she spotted some movement below. There was a couple on a lounger that were barely visible unless you looked closely. They were intensely making out and it looked, at least with her trained eye, like they were engaged in some hanky-panky of the heavy petting kind. Suddenly the man stood up with the woman wrapped around him and moved into the pool. The woman's head was thrown back and the man appeared to have her up against the pool wall and was full on sexin' her now. Wow, that almost looks like River but she wouldn't...he kinda looks like Jayne...it is...Riv...
"Oh. My. God."
Simon had just taken a sip of his fruity drink and adjusted the little paper umbrella as it was hitting him in his nose which didn't help make him look like Mal's tough gun hand when he heard Kaylee gasp. He turned to look at her and followed her eyes to the pool below. He spit his drink out, spraying it all over Badger as he stood, knocking the chair over behind him. Mal, startled by the sudden commotion looked down below where Kaylee and Simon were staring open mouthed and couldn't move he was so stunned. Jayne and River were full on sexin' each other in the pool.
Surprisingly, Zoe remained calm with a slight smile on her face.

"Oh god, Jayne, I want you now!" she squealed as she straddled him. Jayne took in a deep breath and stood up with her wrapped around him and walked the short distance to the pool and carefully lowered them into the water without interrupting her so they'd at least be tucked against the wall of the pool as they continued their so far undetected, illicit activity.
He was now standing in the chest level water and he'd pushed her against the wall of the pool and she was close and was quietly moaning his name. Jayne felt himself start to fall. He was able to look at her face and see her heavily hooded eye's looking at him as she keened and moaned his name. Both panting and recovering from their release, they stayed in the pool for a few minutes and rested. He with his head against her belly and she with her chin resting in his hair. Finally she put her feet down and slid off of him and stood on her wobbly legs. He pulled her to him and kissed her.
"Now that gave a whole new meanin' ta watersports Baby."
"Em hmmm" she pleasantly sighed, "and we make a good team don't you think?"
"Oh yeah, we're a great team. We need a lot of practice though," he winked. "Mal outta be here ta pick us up in another few hours. Ya wanna nap here for a half hour 'fore we head back to the room and leave?"
"Yes, I'm tired now so a short nap will be nice, then maybe more water sports?"
"Oh yeah! practice makes perfect."
They swam for a few minutes and then got back up to sun themselves on the lounger. Both falling asleep on their backs for a short nap.

"What the fuck!" Badger spat out as Simon spewed his drink all over Badger and his hat that was sitting on the table. Simon was standing and pointing down below with wide eye's as he coughed and choked on the remains of his drink. Kaylee too was standing, trying to comfort Simon. Mal just stomped off with his gun already in his hand leaving the rest of them behind, mouths agape. "Kaylee and Zoe, you stay here with Badger. Simon, come with me!" he yelled as he stormed off.
Mal was going to kill Jayne. No, he was going to hurt him, then space him, then drag him back in and then kill him. He furiously approached the sleeping couple but momentarily stopped, when he noted, through his steaming haze of anger, that not only were they holding hands as they slumbered, but they both were wearing matching clothing. Now that was something he'd a never expected. Mal made the split second decision to wake them and just see what they would try to do without immediately letting on that he'd seen them in the pool, when River stirred and rolled over to face Jayne and began talking. For whatever reason, Mal stopped and quickly shoved Simon back so they were hidden behind a tree.

"Jayne I'm sorry to wake you, but there are some things I want to tell you since we'll be going home soon with Captain Daddy, the first being that I love you."
"I wasn't asleep Baby an' I told ya anytime ya wanna wake me up ya can. I ain't never thought I'd hear someone tell me they loved me an' I never thought I'd say it back an' mean it, but I love you too." He said as he took her hand and kissed it.
"I know we've had this attraction to each other for quite some time now and I'm so happy that we've finally acknowledged and accepted it. I've never felt safer and happier at any time in my life than these past days with you. I still can't believe that I am sleeping through the night without any nightmares or need for drugs. This is truly a miracle. I feared I'd never be normal, but you've made me that way. I love you Jayne but I'm scared as to how to tell Captain Daddy and Simon. I know that everything will be fine in the future but it's the now that I'm worried about."
"Ya ain't got nothin' to be scared of. You know I ain't gonna let nothing happen, but, it ain't fair ta none a them or even ta us ta hide this. An' you know I think yer brother has his head up his pi gu most a the time, but he loves you and he ain't never lied to ya so ya owe him the truth too. He'll be pissed as hell at me, but I ain't worried none."
"But what if Captain Daddy tries to separate us! I can't be apart from you now, I just can't!" she sighed starting to get a little bit panicky.
Jayne reached for her and pulled her into his side and wrapped his arms around her and continued while kissing her hair and rubbing her back. "Mal ain't gonna try nothin' stupid like that. He tossed me in that airlock once an' he ain't never gonna get a chance like that again. He caught me by surprise and I didn't see it comin' but now, he knows I'd beat his ass and since you're involved, the stakes is higher so I'd have ta really hurt him, but, Mal and I seem to have a new, whatcha call it...relationship I guess, not like I wanna get inta his pants kind a relationship, an' we ain't really what I'd call friends, but we trust each other now, so I don't wanna be sneakin' around and hidin' this from him like it's somethin' ta be ashamed of. Yer mine, I love ya, he'll have ta deal, end of story."
River just sighed and cuddled him. Even though she could kill Reavers, shoot virtually any weapon and throw knives and grenades with ease she still got upset and he had an uncanny way of making everything all right in her world. She felt safe, calm and secure and at ease now. She leaned up and kissed him. "Thank you, you've made it all better."
"Ain't nothin' Baby. I know yer worried an' all, but see, here's how it'd be at the very worst, let's say Mal fucks it all up an' tosses us off the boat, we still ain't gotta worry as I saw Badger earlier this morning in the lobby, an' we talked for a few minutes about how and when you an' I was gonna tell Mal. He told me if Mal tosses us off a Serenity, we can work for him. Now when Mal hears that, there ain't no way in hell he'll toss us off, so we's gonna be fine Baby. Everything's gonna be shiny."
Jayne was never one for big conversation an' all, but the stakes were too high now and this was personal. This was about his future with River and if he had to play it all respectful like, that was what he was gonna handle it.

Mal's mouth fell open. Was he really hearing this? He was so incredibly angry but now he just found himself standing in a stupor with his mouth hanging open, listening to his two crew members calmly and rationally discussing their new relationship and how they would break it to him. And what was this go se about Badger giving them jobs! That little hun dan rat had lied to him and told him he hadn't seen River or Jayne. Come to think of it, why were they sitting directly over River and Jayne and not inside the restaurant as they'd originally agreed? Mal smelled a rat. Badger'd known about this all along and had wanted Mal to see River and Jayne together. ' Hun dan troll was hopin' ta get Jayne and River to work for him!.'
