Chapter 7
"So we just wait?" Jesse asked falling back into the chair.
"Yeah, tonight seems the best time to look, i've only ever seen them at night." Shalimar answered.
"Are you sure this is the best plan. I mean just going out to look for them and try and get information. It might been dangerous, what if they're too strong for us?" Emma said voicing her concerns.
"Yeah but were strong too Em. We're a team again." Shalimar replied.
"I know I just don't want anyone to get hurt."
"Don't worry Emma we won't." Brennan said, trying to reasure her.
Emma faked a smile at him and Shalimar noticed. She could tell that something was bugging her.
"Em, can I talk to you a minute, in the bedroom?" Shalimar asked.
"Sure" Emma said standing up and walking into the bedroom. Once the door was closed Shalimar motioned for them to both to sit on the bed.
"What's up?" Shalimar asked the psionic.
"I just don't think we've thought this out enough." Emma said.
"Are you talking about what we plan on doing tonight or our relationship?" Shalimar asked softly.
Emma turned her gaze away from the feral, "Both." She whispered softly.
"I know that we just rushed into things without thinking and we do need to talk but I really want this." Shalimar responded.
Emma looked up and smiled at her, "Are you talking about the plan or the relationship?"
Shalimar returned her smile, "This." She said before leaning in and kissing Emma softly.
Emma brought a hand up and plaed it behind the feral's head so she could kiss her deeper. She felt Shalimar's tongue pressing against her lips and opened her mouth, moaning when their tongues finally met. Falling back onto the bed they totally forgot about the two men in the other room.
"I wonder what's taking them so long?" Brennan said to Jesse.
Jesse smiled, "Well I don't hear any moans so I don't know." he said laughing.
Brennan looked at him confused, "Why would there be moans?"
Jesse's face turned serious, "Are you serious?" At no response he continued, "They're together Bren. A couple."
"No way!" Brennan said a little too loud.
"Did you not notice, all the hand holding and cuddling and stuff?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah but girls do that kind of thing. it doesn't mean they're together."
"Well in this case it does." Jesse said smiling.
Back in the bedroom Emma reluctantly pulled away, "I think we should stop, the guys are in the other room and the walls are not very sound proof." She said giggling.
"Ok but we finish this later." Shalimar said standing up and straightening her clothes up.
"Definitely." Emma said moving in for one last kiss, "but Shal, I need to talk about this a little more later ok?"
"Anything you want." Shalimar replied before opening the bedroom door.
"Hey you guy's ok? You look a little flushed." Brennan said teasing.
Emma and Shalimar looked at each other, "Yeah, it's just,um, it's kinda hot in the bedroom." Emma responded before walking into the kitchen.
Shalimar laughed and sat down.
"So what time do we leave?" Jesse asked.
"As soon as the sunsets, which should be in about an hour."
"What should be in about an hour?" Emma asked walking back in and just catching tail of the conversation.
"Sunset." Shalimar replied.
Emma sat the drinks that she had brought in down and walked over to sit on the arm of the chair next to Shalimar, since Brennan and Jesse were occupying the couch.
Shalimar smiled and pulled Emma down on to her lap so she would be more comfortable. Emma smiled and kissed the feral softly.
"Ahem." Brennan cleared his throat. "Could you at least get a room." He said playfully. He didn't mind seeing them together, even though he had at one point like Shalimar in a more than friendly way he was still happy for them.
Emma and Shalimar just glared at him before Shalimar answered, "This is my room." She said smiling.
All four laughed and sat back waiting for night to fall.
