The lovely continuation of last chapter. Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Flesh gliding against flesh, creating a mild pressure of bodies pressed against one another. A pressure that was heating a raging fire within each of the scorching bodies. Two people, needing each other like a human needs air, coming together after being apart for too long. A man and a woman. Isn't that all it ever comes down too? Glistening hands slide across flexed muscles, down arched backs, over plugs-a physical reminder of their freedom. A freedom that at this very moment, they were revolting against. Willing to give up their independence from the machines to succumb to a dependency for the feelings, the sensations, the very touch of another.

A mouth open in a silent moan is crushed by another mouth, desire and need driving them to the edge and back again. Neo's hand tightly grips Trinity's flexed bicep while another cradles her jaw and the back of her head. Thrusting his body in rapid movements, Neo feels Trinity's hand holding on tightly to his back, fingers splayed wide. As the crushing wave of an overload of pleasures and sensations coming flooding toward him, Neo feels Trinity arch her back, pushing her body up and against his. Pressing his lips tightly to hers, he moans into her mouth as the wave crashes down around him.

Pulling away enough to look into her eyes, Neo watches them slowly focus, before she lifts her head to press her forehead to his. Sliding a hand up to the plug in his neck, Trinity slowly pulls his head down with hers, placing a tender kiss against his jaw. Reacting in kind, Neo places an equally gentle kiss on her temple before moving off to her side, pulling her over with him in a way that he could pull her into his embrace.

"I missed falling asleep with you." Neo mumbled softly into Trinity's neck.

"So did I." Trinity replied.

"Let's promise not to do that again."

"Agreed."

"My God, do they EVER get enough of each other?" Link asked Morpheus one evening after the pair finished dinner and left the mess hall simultaneously.

"You have to understand their relationship. Neo became the One because Trinity loved and believed in him. When she admitted that, he knew who he was. Besides, Trinity has never opened herself up to anyone. I would think that for over a decade of locking away feelings and emotions, she's bound to have a lot to get out. And that sounded much worse than it probably should've."

"Yeah. Doesn't Trinity have second watch tonight?" Link asked, seemingly changing the subject.

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Morpheus cocked an eyebrow in Link's direction.

"No reason. I'll be sure not to go in there during the night though."

"Why? Oh." Morpheus sat silently for a moment, then shrugging, "Good idea. I think I will too."

He may have sentry duty right after her, but Neo was going insane. Being unable to be physically with Trinity was keeping him awake, in all senses. Sighing, Neo rolled out of bed, figuring he could at least let her of early- albeit an hour and 45 minutes early, but he didn't sleep much anymore. After pulling on, but not buckling up his boots, Neo made his way to the core as quietly as possible. Upon entering, Neo saw a woman, half asleep, sprawled in the Operator's chair.

"Trinity." Neo whispered, barely audible above the constant humming of the ship, and yet, she heard it.

Turing in her chair, Trinity fixed her eyes on the rumpled figure standing not 10 feet away. Standing up, Trinity moved towards him silently, no question was important enough- not even a "What are you doing up?"

Gripping his waist, Trinity pulled his body towards hers as she backed up towards the chair. Stopping only to allow him to press his body against hers, Trinity moved her face to his already bowed head. A need driven kiss, forceful enough to push Trinity up against the armrest of the Operator's chair, Trinity allowed Neo to take charge. Lifting her up, Neo placed her in the chair, sliding atop her. Slipping a hand under her shirt, he moved it across the soft flesh of her back while his lips blazed a fiery trail down her neck to her collarbone.

Quickly forgetting the world around them neither noticed nor heard the "PROXIMITY WARNING" on the computers. Neither heard anything, too lost in the heat being created between them. Passion running through their veins, the pair knew nothing of the outside world until the ship rocked from the landing of several sentinels.
