If You Fall
Emma was stretched out on her bed, eyes shut, trying to relax after a pretty difficult mission. She was just near sleep when she heard her bedroom door creak open slightly, sensing that it was Shalimar she sat up.
Shalimar stepped further into the room, "Sorry i didn't mean to wake you." she tried to apologise.
"Hey, no i wasn't sleeping i was just resting my eyes." Emma replied with a slight laugh. Emma could tell that something was wrong with Shal she could sense something but wasn't quite sure of what. "Whats up Shal?"
Shalimar looked up from where she was standing and relpied, " I know its late but with the guys out on another mission i was.."
Emma interupted her before she could finish, "The guys are on another mission, we just got back from one!"
"Oh they didn't tell you, Adam has a friend that needed some help so he took Brennan ad Jesse with him, they left prety quickly. So you're stuck with me for a few days." Shalimar answered, a mischevious smile speading acrosss her face at her last sentance.
"Oh really, this is going to be sooo much fun." Emma got excited at the thought of her and Shalimar having sanctuary for themselves for a few days. "We can do loads of girly things, like going out shopping for hours without getting interupted and loads of other things." Shalimar laughed at how excited Emma sounded.
"Actually i was wondering if you wanted to workout with me since i'v got no one else and i really need to let off some steam. I know its getting late but.." Emma interupted her again before she could finish, "Sure, just let me get changed and il meet you there."
"Ok thanks and don't be too long." Shalimar replied while walking out of the room.
Shalimar pinned Emma to the floor face down, her legs straddled across Emma's waist.
"You know i could easily get out of this." She managed to breathe out mocking Shalimar. Shalimar laughed and loosened her grip on the psionic, who shuffled beneathe Shalimar turning around so she was now lying on her back, she looked up to Shalimar who was still sitting on her panting heavily after their workout.
"I thought you said that you would take it easy on me."Emma laughed.
"Yeah well i changed my mind and any ways you getting quite good now." Shalimar replied laughing. She rolled off the psionic and lay down next to her, both were out of breath their chests rising and falling in uneven patterns.
Emma rolled on to her side and proped herself up on one elbow so she was looking down at the feral, "You feel better now that you've kicked my ass?"
Shal turned her head to look up at Emma, "Yeah much thanks and thank you for working out with me and letting me kick your ass." she replied a slight grin on her face.
"You're welcome to kick my ass any day Shal, you know that." Emma replied in a flirtatious tone laughing slightly. Shalimar just laughed along with her.
After getting a shower they decided to watch some T.V and just relax on the sofa. Emma fell asleep quite quickly so Shal offered to carry her to her room. Emma wrapped her arms around Shal's neck and her legs around her waist, still half asleep.
Shal walked into Emma's room and went to put her down on the bed but lost her footing and fell on top of her, they both started laughing but the atmosphere quickly changed. Brown eyes stared into blue ones for what seemed like an eternity, until both leaned in.
Their lips brushed over one anothers, then Shalimar quickly pulled back, "Im sorry." both spoke at the same time.
"I shouldn't have done that." Shalimar added who now stood at the foot of the bed. Emma sat up, she didn't know what to say but she did know that she wanted Shalimar.
"I should go." Shalimar said then turned to leave.
"Shal wait." Emma stood up and walked over to her, then with a confidence she didn't know she had, she suprised Shalimar and mostly herself as she leaned in, wrapping an arm around the ferals waist pulling them as close as they could be, she captured Shalimar lips with her own.
She was relieved when Shalimar responded staight away and kissed her back, harder this time, sliding one hand into the psionics hair and the other around the back of her neck. Their kiss quickly turned passionate, tongues battling for control and exploring each others mouths.
Shalimar walked Emma backwards until she bumped into the bed. Emma moved her hand from Shal's waist to the ties on the front of her top and loosened them. Shal broke the kiss, smiling at Emma then put her arms down so Emma could slip the top off, she then put her hands at the bottom of Emma's top pulling it over her head then leaned back in to kiss her again. She then moved to Emma's jeans undoing the button and sliding the zipper down and pushing them down letting them drop to the floor. Moving to the ferals neck and chest Emma kissed over every inch of bare skin while stepping out of her jeans.
She then mirrored Shalimar's actions by removingthe feralfrom her own jeans. Shalimar lay Emma on the bed, gently lying on top of her, she kissed and nipped her way down the psionics neck then moved back up again to reclaim her lips. Soon all underwear had been removed and hands and mouths roamed freely over now naked skin. Shal let her hand travel down the psionics body until it reached its destination, she quickly entered her and Emma half whimpered, half moaned at the ferals actions.
Shalimar looked into Emma's eyes, then she whispered, "Are you ok, I can stop if you don't want this."
"No, please don't stop, i want this." Emma replied, her hips moving to the rhythm of Shal's hand as she picked up the pace. She quickly went over the edge, taking Shalimar with her.
Emma awoke in the morning with the feel of Shal's hand drawing patterns on her stomach. "Hey", Shalimar said gently leaning to kiss her quickly,
"Morning." Emma replied with a smile stretched from ear to ear, then started kissing down the ferals neck.
"It's a good job the guy's are away and not in sanctuary, cos they definitly would have heard you last night." Shalimar said still making patterns with her finger, while moving her neck back to give Emma better access.
Emma looked up with a look of shock on her face, "I am not that loud."
"Oh yeah, there's a man in New York who's deaf who heard you screaming my name last night ...and this morning." Shalimar shot back grinning.
Emma started laughing at the ferals joke, then snuggled back into her.
"So what do you wanna do today?" Shailmar asked.
"Well i was thinking... have sex with you, maybe shower then have more sex with you" Emma replied a smug grin across her face. "Oh and maybe grab something to eat aswell to keep my energy levels up".
Shalimar leaned in and kissed her again this time with more hunger, "Mmm, sounds perfect" she purred.
A few weeks passed, the guys returned from their mission after four days and Emma and Shalimar kept their relationship from them, deciding to see how things worked out before telling everyone. Tonight they had all been out for a few drinks and were now sitting talking.
Emma and Shalimar were sitting on the sofa, a safe distance from each other as not to give anything away, while Brennan and Jesse sat on the floor, empty beer bottles scattered around them. Adam was in his lab working as usual. Everyone was slightly drunk, and had agreed to play truth or dare after Brennan had suggested to play.
They were all laughing and having fun until Jesse dared Emma to kiss Brennan, Emma looked at Shalimar who was looking at the floor.
"I can't" Everyone looked at her, Shalimar smiling, Jesse confused and Brennan hurt.
'Its got nothing to do with you Brennan, honestly." she said trying to make him feel better.
"Ok, but since you bottled dare you have to answer truth." Came Brennans reply. He sat thinking for a moment then asked "Why couldn't you kiss me?"
Emma looked down, not wanting to look at Shalimar incase she gave it away, "Because." she replied still looking at the floor.
"Because why, come on Em you have to answer" Brennan pushed.
Emma looked at him and raised her voice just a little, "Just because ok"
"No, not ok you have to answer" Brennan said his voice raised a little to. "Come on Em just tell us, because..."
"Because... im in love with her" Emma finished his sentance looking over at Shalimar.
Brennan and Jesse's jaw hit the floor in total shock, but Emma ingnored them and looked over at Shalimar again to see her reaction.
Shalimar smiled, then leaned over to kiss Emma before pulling back and replying, "I love you too."
