A soft moan sounded from a darken cell on an unoccupied tier. A lone DRD set outside the door like a watchdog, ready to alert its occupants if anyone or thing came their way.

"Please."

"Aeryn."

"We don't have much time."

John kissed her deeply; he made a low sound, deep in his throat. A sound that twined around her heart.

"John."

He inhaled sharply, pressing his forehead against hers. "You don't know what your voice does to me when you say my name like that," he said roughly. "Say it again."

"John," she whispered, followed by another searing kiss.

He groaned.

She arched against him, needing more. "John. John. Oh." And then she couldn't say anything further.

Much later:

"It's getting late," Aeryn, sighed as John's long fingers smoothed up her spine. She pressed her cheek against his chest. "Someone probably start looking for us."

"Probably."

Neither made a single move.

Aeryn scooted upward, popping her chin on her hands, gazing into his face. "We should."

"Right. They will being looking for soon." John grin was slow.

Aeryn laughed deep in her throat.

He pulled her over him, and his warm hands cupped her hips. "They have a whole ship to search."

"I know, but still."

John lips descended on her lips cutting off her sentence. Pulling back she looked up at him. "You did misdirect them?"

"Of course," John's smile flashed as he suddenly rolled, pulling her beneath him, his intentions as obvious as the arousal he couldn't hide. Aeryn twined her arms around his neck, opening her mouth to his. I love you hovered on the edges of their lips, but went unspoken as they held their breaths.

"Commander? Aeryn Sun?" Pilot's soft inquiring voice came over their comms.

"Yes, Pilot," John, answered.

"I'm sorry but it is time. Scorpius is asking after you."

"Thanks, Pilot. We'll be on our way shortly."

Aeryn leaned up and placed a deep, slow kiss on his lips. After a long moment he pulled back gazing into her soft gray-eyes. "Soon, we'll tell this universe."

Placing her fingers on his lips. "It doesn't matter if the universe knows or not. What's important right now is that we know that we have each other forever and a day. I love you, John Crichton."

Kissing her fingers John mumbled. "I love you, Aeryn Sun, forever and a day."

And they sealed their declaration to each other with a tender kiss.
