Emma smiled to herself as she turned on her side in the bed letting a long breath escape her lips as she relaxed herself into a comfortable position. Tired blue eyes fell upon the smiling faces of the photos on the nightstand forcing memories of happy times and love back into her groggy head. She had to admit she'd enjoyed the past week with Shalimar and in working on their relationship she'd come to realize she was a fool to ever question it.
Her attention was torn from the happy images as the sound of a door opening interrupted her thoughts. Turning towards the noise she was greeted by Shalimar's welcoming face, no doubt a sight for sore eyes and she returned the kind smile with one of her own.
"Hey, sleepyhead," the feral greeted walking over to the bedside and handing the woman a glass of orange juice.
"Hey," Emma replied taking the cold glass from the warm hands of the feral and sipping. "Where ya been?"
"I was just doin' a lil training with uh your ex husband," Shalimar responded surprisingly grinning as she said it.
"Ex husband, wow, that sounds weird," Emma replied. She set the glass down on the nightstand and sat herself up almost all the way. "You know there's something I meant to tell you."
Shalimar smiled and sat down beside the woman placing her hands atop both of Emma's.
"What is it, sweetie?"
"When I was in the Helix and I crashed that day I was thinking about you. I was trying to connect to Brennan and it hurt but it was you that got to me. I felt your distress and love underneath it all and that's what was too much for me."
"I hope you're not trying to flatter me," the feral joked.
"I just wanted you to know I was connected to you. I felt you more than anyone else even then."
Shalimar smiled knowing the psionic meant something good.
"So you think you're ready to walk on your own?"
"Um yeah I can give it a shot. I think I'm starting to get a bed sore."
Shalimar laughed and stood up.
"Come on."
Emma wrapped her arms around the feral's neck and pulled herself into a full sitting position hanging her legs over the edge of the bed. Gently, she stood herself up keeping a hand braced against the feral's shoulder for support. Once she steadied herself she removed the hand and began to take a few small steps around the room. Proudly she turned as she reached the end of the bed and walked back towards Shalimar.
"You seem to be doing much better," Shalimar complimented as Emma approached her, her arms already extended towards her.
As Emma took the last few steps to close the distance between her and Shalimar a sudden ache in her stomach took her off guard causing her to lose her balance and tumble into the blonde taking her down to the bed.
"Guess I spoke too soon," Shalimar joked looking up at the red head above her.
Emma laughed in return but soon noticed their playful moment was taking a turn as Shalimar's warm body heaved against her own, warm breath tickling her neck as it blew across her skin.
The weight of her body pushing down onto Shalimar's and her still sensitive wound on her stomach was making the position uncomfortable for the psionic and she gently rolled herself off the feral to lie across the bed beside her. Before she even had a chance to question getting up she found Shalimar crawling atop her and bracing her arms on either side of her.
Soon soft lips were gently nipping at Emma's neck sending gentle vibrations of pleasure through her whole body. The feral's tantalizing tongue strokes on the psionic's needy skin brought utn a soft moan deep in Emma's throat.
Shalimar's smiled at the reaction she received from the red head continuing to kiss and lick her way across the softness of her neck. Reaching an adventurous hand between them, Shalimar let her fingers work their way under the psionic's loose top and skim across the smooth plane of her belly. Coming to the bandage still over Emma's wound Shalimar let her fingers walk along the edges of it gently applying pressure but careful not to push too hard as she gently worked around the corners.
Shalimar paused as her hand reached the top of the psionic's sleep pants before gently running the backs of her fingers across the skin she found there, teasing the psionic with her touch.
Emma's body instinctively arched up at the feral's warm touch at the bottom of her belly. She could feel the heat building between them, between her own legs, and if she didn't know any better she'd swear the temperature in the room was well over a hundred and climbing.
Shalimar's mouth moved from the psionic's neck and began to work it's way down her body planting little angel kisses all the way until she reached the top of the red head's pants and placed a line of kisses across her lower stomach causing the psionic to tremble and the feral to grin with arrogance.
Looking up at the sleek body of the woman Shalimar lifted the top before continuing to kiss her way across Emma's stomach. Swinging her leg over the psionic's hip Shalimar straddled her all the while keeping her mouth pressed to the flesh she craved more than life itself.
Shalimar's hands took hold of each side of Emma's shirt and slowly she was lifting the garment from Emma's soft body to drop it to the floor. Taking in the deliciously magnificent sight beneath her Shalimar licked her lips with anticipation tasting the sweet remnants of Emma's flesh before lowering her head to kiss her way back down the woman's body.
Emma let out a low moan of pleasure as Shalimar's warm tongue swirled around her hardened nipple before her breast was drawn into the mouth of the woman. Shalimar sucked harder and Emma's breathing picked up as the feral continued to tease her nipple. Shalimar's fingers plucked the psionic's other nipple gently as her month continued to work on the red head's right breast. Soft, pleading fingers began wearing in and out of blonde hair filled with desire in their touch and driven by lust the psionic could never fool herself into thinking had disappeared. They had a mind of their own now as they clawed at and dug into feral skin before gently soothing the marks she'd made with her fingertips.
Much to Emma's annoyance soon Shalimar's mouth was pulling away and her tongue gliding back down the smooth indent on her belly.
Pausing as she reached the top of the psionic's pants again Shalimar thought for a brief moment before gripping them on either side and tugging them down the smooth legs of the woman pulling them off her feet as Emma kicked them to the floor beneath.
Shalimar's tongue was soon licking it's way up the appetizing legs underneath her. She worked with patience much to Emma's surprise who could see the savage lust the feral had been harboring the past week grow with each passing day.
Shalimar paused as she reached the top of the psionic's thighs, grateful she hadn't been wearing underwear and lifted her eyes to the woman. Emma turned her head down to stare back at the hesitating blonde watching as she placed a soft kiss over the smooth, shaven skin below her naval.
Emma hung her head back and closed her eyes at the delicate yet amazing sensations the kiss shot through her whole body. By the time she opened her eyes Shalimar was above her looking straight into her wanton blue gems.
Reaching up Emma placed her hand to the feral's flushed cheek unsure which of them was generating the overwhelming heat she felt. Shalimar's head was quickly lowering and Emma's lips were caught up in those of the feral's in no time. Emma's mouth felt right at home as she kissed the feral back with all the passion in her heart letting loose all she'd tried to hide the past week.
"Emma," Shalimar finally spoke as she pulled her mouth free.
"Hmmm," was all the psionic responded with her eyes still closed and her head still in position to kiss the feral.
"Emma, look at me," the low voice of the feral begged.
Emma's eyes opened to look into the familiar sight of Shalimar's own precious golden brown eyes staring back at her.
"I love you."
Emma smiled at the words as if it was the first time she'd ever heard them forgetting she'd been hearing them all week.
"I love you too."
"I wanna marry you."
Emma's eyes widened at the statement and she lowered her hand from the feral's cheek.
"I want-I need to be with you, Emma. I know you feel the same. Marry me."
Emma smiled brining her hand back up to the feral's warm cheek.
"I'd love to."
Shalimar smiled wider than she ever had lowering her mouth back home to Emma's once again kissing the woman below her, the only woman she ever wanted to kiss for the rest of her life.
