Chapter 6

Rommie hurried into her quarters and jumped into the shower. She had always heard of humans taking a cold shower to cool themselves off, or the expression take a cold shower but she never thought it applied to her, until now.

'God I am such an idiot!' she thought to herself. How could she face Dylan again? After all she couldn't avoid him forever.

'Why did I have to take a walk in my night clothes, I am such a fool!' right now she despised Dylan and Harper as well.

'God how I hate men at the moment, is this how Beka's been feeling about Tyr? Rommie knew she needed someone to talk to. She jumped out of the shower and put on her usual maroon outfit and headed to Beka's quarters.

She was surprised to find Beka outside. "Oh I'm not interrupting your attempt of going back to sleep am I?" Rommie asked.

"No I can't sleep at all, what's wrong Rommie?"

"Right now I despise all men and I need someone to talk to".

"Rommie you've come to the right person, let's go inside". Beka and Rommie sat on the couch and Rommie let it all pour out.

"You kissed Dylan?"

"Yes and told him I was in love with him, then Harper came and they fought over me like I was a piece of property, now I can't stand Dylan".

"Rommie I'm sure Dylan was trying to defend you, and didn't realize what he was saying. Harper should've been more discreet, but you know him".

"Beka right now I want nothing to do with either one of them".

Beka sighed, "I know how you feel, I sort of told Tyr how I felt before he left, I'm angry at everything he's done, he probably believes in everything he's done, but no matter what I do, I can't stop thinking of him".

"At least the two of you aren't on the same ship right now".

"Rommie if we were I'd probably ring his sorry little neck, but he probably doesn't even think about me".

Rommie sighed, "I'm going back to my quarters try to sleep, try to forget my anger for awhile".

"If you ever want to talk I'm here".

Rommie walked to the door, "thanks Beka that means a lot".

Rommie walked out into the darkened corridor and stopped as her Avatar shimmered into view, "you messed up".

"Yeah thanks for telling me" Rommie replied sarcastically.

"I always knew your affection for Dylan would blow up in your face, you don't have luck with males, does the name Gabriel ring a bell?"

Rommie forced his face out of her head, "it's in the past and I'm getting better every day so just butt out!" she walked past her Avatar down the hall. Soon she ran into another unwelcome person. Dylan Hunt.

"Rommie please let me talk to you".

"I have nothing to say to you Dylan".

"Let me explain".

"Explain what Dylan; you made your feelings perfectly clear to Harper".

"I was angry I wasn't thinking".

"Seems to be a problem everyone is having, I should've done more thinking tonight myself, my declaration for instance".

"Did you mean it Rommie?"

"At the time it seemed right but now it's wasted".

"Rommie I meant it when I revealed my feelings we can get past this".

"Earlier tonight was a mistake Dylan, I'm not about to make another one".

"Dylan's face became hard, "well looks like we've said all we needed to say, maybe I should begin to regret my confession, but it appears you're way ahead of me" he walked past her before she could say anything.

Rommie returned to her quarters more devastated than before. 'I had Dylan for a brief moment then I lost him, maybe I'm not cut out for love'.

She walked to her bed and slid under the covers willing for sleep to come; hoping all of this had been a nightmare. A fog slowly rolled in and Rommie found herself in it, but she wasn't afraid she was at peace. She also felt expectant and soon another person came, the one she loved.

"You have come".

He smiled, "I will always come for you". They backed up toward a bed and fell onto it. Her back was pressed into the mattress, her companion careful not to put to much wait on her.

"I've waited so long for you, for this moment" she whispered.

"I know my sweet" he replied, his voice growing husky. His mouth came to her neck and Rommie cried out his he nipped her skin gently. Soon they were quickly removing each others clothing, desperate to feel skin against skin.

His lips and hands worked wonders on her making her feel things no one had ever accomplished. Her body burned for him and soon the burning moved to her thighs, the very core of her body.

Her body cried for the relief only he could give. "Please love me now" she whispered. He lifted himself above and parted her legs positioning himself at her entrance and looked into her eyes. "Ready?"

"Anytime you are" she replied throatily. He entered her swiftly and moved within her, gently but deliberately. She matched him in every thrust, every movement with equal impatience moving toward the peak they would soon experience, their hands moving everywhere, their cries echoing everywhere.

Her release poured though her sweeping her away and she grabbed her companion the only solid anchor she had, the anchor he always had been. His release cam soon after.

They clutched each other slowly drifting back down to Earth, their breathing fast paced. Rommie smiled lovingly at her companion. "I love you Dylan".

Dylan smiled down at her. "I love you to".

Rommie bolted awake breathing hard, drenched with sweat. She could still feel him. Never before had any of her dreams been like this. It was definitely trying to tell her something.

At the moment she wasn't sure if she wanted to know. She laid her head back on the pillow but she knew she definitely wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon.
