What had started out as boredom and annoyance had turned itself into something better than Rhade could have hoped for.
It had been 2 weeks since Beka met him at his room's entrance and what happened after he kissed her surprised even him.
A dam seemed to break and Beka had thrown her arms around his neck, kissing him thouroughly. Some blind walking later found them in his room, clothes being flung in ever direction as they fell into bed.
He now lay contently in Beka's bed on the Maru, sheet pulled up to his waist, and one arm behind his head, waiting for Beka to return with food. He had offered to go to the kitchenette for her but she had offered him some excuse of not wanting him to move when she came back.
Women.
Such wonderful, confusing creatures.
Rhade looked up at the door when his hearing picked up her humming. He smiled as she stopped in the doorway and leant against the frame. Plate in one hand, impish smile, and he had to admit that his grey shirt had never looked better than it did on Beka.
"You actually didn't move."
"You told me not to."
He watched as she slowly bit into a slice of apple.
His little seductress...and now that they were together, Rhade could think of even more fun new games to play...he would never be bored again.
Beka smiled. Even after two weeks she was still getting used to him and still getting used to admitting things to herself that she denied before: she did find him attractive, she did think he had gorgeously noticable eyes, and she did care to notice his muscles. He was better sculpted than anyone she'd ever thought was well built before. And for the past weeks she had got to see every little part of him.
If she was honest with herself she'd find that she was happier than she'd been in a long time. Yet her inner cynic was still waiting for it to all fall apart. As usual.
But her inner romantic wanted to hope that this would be different. Shunting away her pessimistic thoughts, she fixed Rhade with a playful grin as she wlked over to the bed and fed him the other half of her apple.

A/N: Another little chapter! Thanks for the reviews.
Ryua Malfoy: (giggle) weird huh? Yeah I'm a complete sucker for happy endings so I thought I'd do some cute humour stories before I get writing my longer, more serious ones. And I like writing humour, it's fun and makes people happy:) I hope...;p
