AN: Still no spelled out sex perv.
The two friends, recently turned lovers, laid naked in the small bunker bed together. Sandy nudged her head above Shadow's armpit as he laid on his back and held her with both of his arms. Both of them were still wide awake and kept petting one another while reliving the intimate moment they both had just shared with one another. Sandy couldn't help but grin wildly as she had no idea how much comfort her close friend was able to bestow upon her. She definitely found his company pleasant most of the time, but never even in her most inappropriate of dreams did she expect experiencing such sensations.
"When we get outta here I wanna get a big cheese burger with extra onion, extra pical, extra mushroom, smothering in barbeque sauce. Sandy sighed as she ran her fingers through the remaining fully white chest fur he still sported. She then pushed her face into the side of his chest a bit more as she happily took in the heat radiating off his body.
Shadow scoffed at her in disgust. "How could you ruin a perfectly good burger with mushrooms and barbeque sauce?" He also kept running his fingers through her fur. He moved his hand up and down her side as he cradled her head with his other arm. "I guess a burger and a dark ale does sound appetizing right now."
"Blah!" Sandy now laughed at his expense as she lightly slapped his chest. "You can keep yer beer. I want a tall, ice cold glass of water. Maybe five of 'em!"
"I'm glad to know you're so eager to be the designated driver." Shadow lightly smiled at her before pulling her closer and closing his eyes. "But I'm still going to hold that barbeque sauce against you."
"Yer sorry butt just hasn't had real barbeque sauce! It ain't nothing like that bottled store-bought junk!" She giggled as she pushed herself closer to him. "There is so much I'd love ta show ya…." Her voice trailed off as her mind also did. She hugged him tightly with a lot of emotion before finding her voice again. "I owe ya so much after this."
"I'll hold you to that." Shadow grinned as he continued to caress her nude body.
The two gripped each other tighter for a moment as an alarm started to chime off from the bunker's lone computer. Sandy jumped up, not feeling the lest bit shy, even though she usually would, as her work focused mind had just kicked in hard from this unexpected event. She typed and jumped from screen to screen in an effort to find out what was going on.
She then looked at Shadow blankly. "There's a 20-minute count down."
"For what?" Shadow questioned a bit unnerved.
"I'm not sure." Sandy frowned. "We better get dressed and prepare fer the worst."
Shadow sat on the edge of the bed as he started to dress himself before glancing back at her as she also started to dress up. "And that is?"
"Well, it could be a power shut off, or even worse a cleansing of the bunks. However, I find the last very unlikely as most computer operated sterilizing would require caustic cleaning chemical or intense steam, both of which would destroy this primitive computer setup how it sits."
"And that leaves us, where?" He questioned again.
"Still unsure, but it seems likely I might need ya ta save ours skins after all. I'm sorry Shadow."
"Don't be. A month of two locked up is nothing so long as you're safe."
"I…" She started before her head dropped.
"Don't!" He corrected her as he made his way over to the bottom of the hatch. "I need you to be able, and focused enough, to run to me so we can break our way out of here if need be. Alright?" Shadow pressed as he looked at her completely serious.
"This is all my fault." She looked at him very upset.
"This trip has been more than wroth it, Sandra." He calmed himself and looked at her pleadingly. "I just want it all to end well… so I can buy you that disgusting burger you've been longing for." He gave her a small smile and got a large one from her in response.
"Can I come ta yer place after and force ya to watch my favorite westers again?"
"I figured that was the underlying part of all of our deals." He chuckled briefly.
"I'm one lucky lady." She snorted as she turned back to go through the computer again quickly before the countdown stopped.
"I never took you as a lady… I've always preferred you as an unstoppable female force." Shadow watched her continue working as she likely didn't hear his last comment. That was fine with him, as he was more than looking forward of being able to continually to show her what he really thought of her over and over again once they finally found their half-backed freedom outside this old tomb.
