"Mmmm." Jayne murmurs, his hand snaking under the t-shirt River is wearing. He pulls her panties off and tosses them to the floor. Then his hands cup her ass, squeezing the firm cheeks gently. "Mornin' baby."
"Morning Jayne." River grinds her ass against his hands.
Jayne sneaks a hand between her legs and dips two fingers inside her. "Mmm, that's my baby, all nice and wet for me."
"Oh….Jaayne.." River moans.
Jayne thrusts his fingers hard and fast, wanting to hear her moan. She doesn't disappoint. After a few minutes, she's squirming and moaning against his hand heavily.
"Want you inside." River moans.
Jayne pulls his fingers out and helps her straddle his cock. His stomach is stinging and burning but it falls to the back of his mind as her body lowers onto his. "Gorram, but you feel good."
River rides Jayne quickly but clumsy. She's still half-asleep and loves these moments. The pleasure is lazy and warm.
Jayne finds and pets her clit in time with his thrusts. "C'mon down here, baby." Jayne orders huskily.
River leans down and kisses Jayne, knowing that's what he wants. They've been together for months now; she knows her man.
Jayne grunts against River's mouth at feel of somethin' tearin' but he don't stop. They're close, both so ruttin' close and that's all that matters. He twists her clit and at the first clenching of her walls, he comes.
River falls forward onto Jayne's chest but pulls back when Jayne groans painfully. "Jayne?"
"I'm a'right, baby." Jayne groans.
"You're hurt." River whispers. She holds up her hands, blood covering her palms.
"What happened to you, baby?" Jayne questions worriedly.
"Not mine." River says. "SIMON!"
"Gorramit, baby, what the hell are you doin'?" Jayne asks. "You ain't even got any panties on."
River reaches between them and pulls Jayne boxers back up.
The door slams open and Simon comes sliding in, followed closely by Mal and Jayne's parents.
"Mei-mei, what happened?" Simon pants. He takes one look at his sister straddling her husband and closes his eyes. "Jayne, I distinctly recall telling you not to put any stress on yourself."
"Which meant no sex." Mal adds, his head turned from the bed.
"It weren't like we did it on purpose." Jayne replies. "Okay, we did but, I ruttin' forgot bein' shot and once I did remember, weren't no way I was gonna stop."
"River, I need you to get off Jayne so I can see what kind of damage you did to him." Simon orders.
River doesn't move.
"Little witch, didn't ya hear your brother?" Mal asks.
"Yes." River replies.
"Why ain't you movin' then?" Mal questions.
"All of you need to turn round for a minute." Jayne orders.
"What?" Simon replies. "Jayne, I really need to examine you."
"And she really needs to get her panties back on and ain't none of you need to be seein' that." Jayne says.
Simon covers his eyes with a groan and turns around.
Mal rolls his eyes and follows Simon's lead. "Man's got a bullet in his gut and still can't ruttin' keep his hands off her."
"Where did they go?" River asks Jayne.
"Hell baby, I don't know." Jayne tries to sit up but the stingin' in his gut is so fierce, his vision goes blurry.
River moves off Jayne as gently as she can, guilty tears filling her eyes. She spots her panties on the ground and pulls them on.
"Where's your shorts?" Jayne asks. "You ain't walkin' round in just my shirt."
"Bathroom." River whispers.
"Go on and get em." Jayne grunts.
River runs into the bathroom, washes Jayne's blood off her hands, and puts her shorts back on. When she walks back into the bedroom, Simon is already examining Simon. "Did I break him?" She asks her brother tearfully.
"He's very lucky." Simon replies. "He only broke the outer weaves, not the ones done internally. Had those broken, I would have had to do surgery again."
River chokes on a sob, tears rolling down her face.
"Gorramit, doc." Jayne shouts, wincing as it pulls on his stomach. "Baby, it's a'right, c'mere."
River shakes her head, her hair flying wildly around her face.
Jayne pushes Simon away with one hand and starts to sit up.
"Jayne, don't make me sedate you." Simon threatens. "What are you trying to do?"
"You've gone and made her think she's done almost killed me." Jayne growls. "Baby, you either come here or I come to you."
River moves to Jayne's side though she doesn't sit down.
Jayne tugs on River's hand and when she doesn't sit down, he grabs her waist and starts to lift her.
"Gorramit, Jayne, stop it." Simon orders.
Jayne's hands drop off River's waist in shock at Simon's lanuage.
"Mei-mei, sit down beside him before he ends up doing real damage." Simon orders. "Jayne, what part of no stress on yourself are you not getting?"
"I ain't putt…." Jayne starts to reply only to be cut off by Simon.
"Because having sex less than 30 hours after being operated on is stress." Simon continues. "Let alone trying to pick up anything weighing over 15 pounds."
"I ain't no weakling, don't need…."
"A week." Simon cuts Jayne off. "You are not allowed to do anything more taxing than using the restroom for a week and that most defiantly includes having sex."
"I ain't got that kinda self control." Jayne protests. "Doc, I'm gonna be completely honest with you; there ain't no way in ruttin' hell I'm gonna be able to keep my hands off her for two days let alone a week."
"Then I guess it's up to River to keep you from hurting yourself." Simon replies. "Surely she has more self control than you."
River looks down at her hands, refusing to meet her brother's gaze.
"Don't ruttin' count on it." Jayne says. "She's got just as much as I do."
"Then we'll have to keep you two separate." Mal suggests.
"No." Jayne says firmly. "She stays with me."
"Jayne, you're not getting how serious this can be." Simon tries to explain. "If you do internal damage, you very well might kill yourself."
River's eyes widen and her breathing becomes erratic as though she's having a panic attack.
"Gorramit." Jayne shouts again. "Doc, you're ruttin' beside manner sucks. Baby, I ain't gonna die." She still doesn't calm down. "C'mere."
River flings her arms around Jayne's neck and buries her face into the hollow of his shoulder.
"Right here, baby." Jayne soothes, his hands rubbing up and down her back. "C'mon, ya gotta breath. Your dumbass brother's just bein' his over dramatic self. Ain't nothin' gonna happen to me."
"Promise." River whispers.
"Promise." Jayne replies. He tilts her head up and places a deep and wet kiss on her lips, his hands moving to tighten around her back.
"JAYNE!" Mal shouts. "Gorramit, the doc just done told you not even five minutes ago no sex and you're already tryin' to."
River breaks the kiss and pulls back to look down at Jayne sternly. "No more kisses." She says. "No more touches and no more orgasms."
"River!" Mal shouts.
Simon turns bright red and looks away from his sister and Jayne.
Rita and Robert can't help but smile at their son and daughter-in-law.
Jayne's head plops back with a groan. "Okay, doc, how do I speed up this healin' thing?"
"Rest." Simon answers. "You normally heal at a remarkable rate but if you really want to speed it up, do nothing but rest."
Jayne holds out his arm. "Knock me out."
"I'll do it." Mal says with a smirk. "Anybody gotta bat?"
River turns to glare at Mal.
Mal tries not to but he can't help but take a step back at the look on her face.
Jayne laughs and then groans as it pulls on his stomach. "Cap, you afraid of my wife?"
"I got ruttin' bruises round my neck from her thighs." Mal replies, pulling the collar of his shirt down to show the merc. "She almost ruttin' killed me."
"Wasn't going to kill you." River says.
"Coulda fooled me." Mal replies.
"Was just going to knock you unconscious." River finishes.
"Knockin' the captain out ain't allowed." Mal says.
"Your wife did." River points out.
"Yeah, well, she ain't nothin' but a whore." Mal replies.
A loud smack echoes through the room.
"What the gorram hell was that for?" Mal shouts, looking at Rita.
"What kinda man calls his wife a whore?" Rita scolds. "Specially a pretty, nice thing like Inara."
"Whoa, Nara ain't my wife." Mal protests. "River was talkin' bout someone else, who is a whore."
"Inara isn't a whore." River turns her head to look at Rita. "She is a companion."
"Robert Jayne Cobb, you brought a companion into this house and didn't tell us?" Rita shouts. "She must think we're the most uncouth people in the verse."
"Inara likes you and your family." River says.
"That may be, but if'n I'd known a real companion was comin' I woulda taken the time to make sure the house was more spruced up."
"Mrs. Cobb, don't feel you have to go through any trouble on my account." Inara says as she steps into the room. "Your house is lovely as is your family."
Robert snorts. "First time I've heard anybody call us lovely."
Simon sorts through his medical bag until he comes across the vial he's looking for. He fills a needle with it before swabbing Jayne's arm and injecting the large merc.
"What is it?" Jayne grunts.
"A very strong sedative." Simon answers.
"Simon used to give them to me." River says, cocking her head to look at the needle. "And I was lost for days. Simon, I don't want Jayne to get lost too."
"I ain't gonna get lost." Jayne slurs. "Just gonna…"
"Damn, that's some powerful stuff." Robert comments.
"Yes, it is." Simon agrees.
River traces her fingers over Jayne's face, saying special attention to his lips and goatee.
"Mei-mei, he's just sleeping." Simon assures her. "He'll wake up in about 15 hours."
"The shadows have returned and the sun isn't here to chase them away." River whispers. "But it will return soon and the water will flow once more."
Rita and Robert look towards Simon.
"Mei-mei, are you okay?" Simon asks.
River spins around to look at Simon, her eyes wide and slightly glazed. "The river flows under the sun but without it, the river freezes."
"River, do ya wanna go help Kaylee fix up our new mule?" Mal questions. "Sure she could use the help."
"I'll go outside with you mei-mei." Inara holds her hand out to the genius.
River stares at Inara's hand for a few seconds before taking it. "Okay."
Simon checks Jayne's heartbeat and pulse before sitting down beside the merc and replacing the broken weaves.
"I gotta feelin' these next couple days are gonna be hell." Mal comments.
Simon finishes the last weave and covers the merc up with a sigh. "I've got the feeling you might just be right."
-
"Mmmm." Jayne groans, his hands sliding under the shirt River is wearing. He's a little shocked to discover she's wearin' shorts, most the time there ain't nothin' keepin' him from her wet heat. He massages her ass gently as his face burrows into her hair to find her neck. "Mornin' baby."
River mewls and goes boneless at Jayne's caresses. She hasn't been with her husband in almost four days and she can't believe how frustrated she is. She knows it won't take but more than a few quick thrusts for her to come but instead pulls away from Jayne with a whimper. "No touches."
Jayne groans and opens his eyes. "C'mon, baby, we can be real gentle like." His hand slides down to cup her heat. "Ya know you wanna, baby, I can smell ya."
River's legs spread against her will. "Jaayyne."
"Take your shorts and panties off." Jayne orders.
"You're not supposed to overexert yourself." River protests. "And we are not permitted to have sex."
"Don't gotta have sex to have some fun." Jayne replies. "And I ain't gonna hurt myself." He slips his hands under the shirt she's wearing and traces his calloused fingers up her smooth stomach. Her rubs his thumb back and forth over her nipple until it pebbles. "Baby, we both know you ain't gonna be able to say no." He tugs on the aroused bit of flesh. "I know your body better than you."
River arches into Jayne's hand with a moan. Her hands slip into the waistband of her shorts and push them down, along with her panties. She scoots up the bed until she's in a more accessible position for Jayne. Her feet plant flat on the bed, her knees spread widely.
"That's my girl." Jayne leers. His eyes run down her body to settle on her spread legs. "How long I been out for?"
"You've been in and out of consciousness for four days." River answers. "Jayne, please touch me."
"You all frustrated baby?" Jayne asks, running his hand down her belly to skim over her mound. "Is my baby girl all horny?"
"Yes." River moans, arching her hips towards his hand. "I tried to make it go away but it was never the same."
Jayne's brow furrows for a second before his mouth drops open. "Was you usin' the vibrator?"
"Yes." River answers. "Please, Jayne, make it go away."
Jayne's cock hardens further at the thought of River in their bunk playin' with herself. "Gorram, baby, you know hot that is?" His fingers slip between her folds to play gently and lightly.
"More." River begs. "Please Jayne, more."
"Tell me." Jayne growls. "Wanna hear bout what you did to yourself."
"Jayne." She whimpers.
"Ain't gonna let you come till you do." Jayne replies. "Wanna hear bout it."
River slides her hand down to press over Jayne's. She interlocks their fingers and then uses the digits to rub herself. "Yesterday while everyone was sleeping, I had a dream." River whispers. "You were inside me, so deep inside me, but when I woke up, you were still sleeping. I tried to relieve myself here but my fingers were not enough."
Jayne swallows heavily as he pictures her fingerin' herself with him lyin' asleep beside her. "Go on." He circles her clit a few times with their joined fingers before pushing two of hers and one of his inside her.
"Ohh…" River moans. She tries to pump their fingers but Jayne won't let her. "Please.."
"Keep goin'." Jayne growls huskily.
"I snuck out of the house and onto Serenity." River starts again. "I went into our bunk and took off my nightgown. Then I sprawled out on our bed, one foot braced on the weapon rack while the other braced on the floor. My right hand played my nipples until they were hard and tight…oh, harder Jayne….and then I turned on the vibrator."
Jayne pumps and twists their fingers, his thumb moving up to rub her clit. "More." He demands.
"I…put it inside me and pumped it until…oh…that feels…I was slippery and sticky." River's hips arch as a bolt of pleasure shoots through her. "Then I took it….mmmm…Jaaaynee…out and put three of my fingers inside myself but they weren't enough. I added one more….deeper, Jayne…."
"What'd it feel like?" Jayne asks.
"Tight." River moans. "Tight. I wanted you inside me more but I had to make do. I pushed them into me deeply and put….oh, god…oh…Jayne, more…the vibrator against my clit."
"You come?" Jayne asks.
"Yes." River pants. "Twice." Her legs spread further and she starts to ride their hands wildly. "Please, Jayne."
Jayne slams their fingers inside her and presses down hard on her clit.
River presses her free hand against her mouth to smoother her scream.
Jayne works River through her orgasm, rubbing his free hand up and down her belly soothingly. "Gotta taste you baby." Jayne growls. "You're gonna havta come up here."
Still panting from her last orgasm, River crawls further up the bed and straddles Jayne's face. Her knees are on either side of his face and her hands are braced in front of her right next to Jayne's hips. Holding her self up with one hand, she pushes his boxers down far enough for his cock to spring free. Being careful not to rest any of her weight on Jayne, River bends forward to suck Jayne's hard cock into her mouth. She takes him deep, knowing he needs to come.
Jayne groans at the feel of River's mouth around him. His hands grip her upper thighs to bring her closer and he laps hungrily at her core. She tastes so gorram good and it feels like it's been a ruttin' year since he's tasted her. He bites and sucks on her clit, wanting her to go with him. It don't take but a few bites till she's bucking against his face and whimpering around his cock. Once the gush of her release hits his mouth, he lets go with a loud groan.
River swallows Jayne's cum greedily, missing the taste. She doesn't know how, but she manages to keep herself from collapsing on top of him. She milks him dry and then rolls off to lie beside him, panting heavily.
Once his breathing returns to normal, Jayne fists his hand through her hair and kisses her deeply. He can taste himself on her mouth and knows she's gotta be able to taste herself. With a growl, he deepens the kiss.
"Jayne, you awake in there?" Bill yells, pounding on the door.
Jayne breaks the kiss with a groan. "Give us a second." He fishes around for her shorts and hands them to her with a grin. "I tell you lately I love you?"
"Not for four whole days." River whispers.
Jayne presses a brief kiss to her forehead. "Love you baby."
River presses a kiss to his forehead. "Love you Jayne."
"Now, get dressed for they come stormin' in here." Jayne orders as he pulls his boxers up. "A'right, you can come in."
The door opens and an endless amount of people walk in.
River scoots closer to Jayne and lays her head on his chest. She looks up at him with a small smile; he's healing well and soon will be ready to play.
Jayne looks down at River and then brings his thumb up to wipe a smudge off her face. Before he can move his hand away, her tongue laps out to clean it off. He hardens instantly.
"What was…never mind." Mal winces. "I don't wanna know."
Simon walks over to Jayne and pulls the covers down to his waist. He examines the weaves and sighs with relief. The merc is healing beautifully. Then he looks at his sister and sighs with frustration. "I believe I said no sex."
"We didn't have sex." River replies.
"Least not in the traditional way." Jayne adds with a smirk.
Simon glares down at him. "Could you please refrain from talking about your…practices?"
"Nope." Jayne grins.
"Well, he's feelin' better." Mal comments.
"Yep." Jayne agrees. "Ready to hit the black and do some crime. We gotta job lined up?"
Mal looks at Inara who just stares back.
"No." River says. "There is no job but Serenity will be leaving."
Jayne turns his head to look at his wife. "Where we goin' if'n it ain't for a job?"
"Boros." River answers. "To a companion house on Boros."
"What?" Simon cuts in. "Why?"
"Inara is changing jobs and in order to do so, certain things must be done." River replies. "A committee must meet and interview all of the crew." Then she turns to look at Jayne. "Including you."
"Fine then." Jayne says. "When we leavin'?"
"Tomorrow morning." River answers. "And we aren't going. Simon and I will have to remain here."
"Then I ain't goin'." Jayne replies, turning his head to glare at Mal. "Can't believe you'd ruttin' think I'd leave her and also can't believe you told her first."
River turns Jayne's head back to her. "He did not ask me." River says. "I just knew. And you have to go; they know everyone who is living on the boat, besides me and Simon, and if anyone is missing, Inara will not pass the test."
Jayne sits up angrily and puts his feet on the ground. Spotting a pair of cargo shorts on the nightstand, he roughly pulls them on, the pain only fueling him on. He pushes his feet into his boots and turns around to look down at River. "I ain't leavin' you and ain't nobody here gonna be able to make me." Then he walks purposefully towards the door, pushing everyone out of his way.
"I'll go cancel the meeting." Inara says quietly.
"No." River says. "You know if you cancel it, they will not let you reschedule."
"I know." Inara agrees. "But Jayne isn't going to leave you."
"He will." River replies.
"I gotta agree with Nara, little witch." Mal says. "What makes you think Jayne's gonna go?"
"Because Jayne can not say no to me." River replies. She stands up and walks to the door. "Not if I ask him to go." She's then gone before anybody can say anything.
-
Jayne braces his arms on the fence where River's stallion is grazin'. The horse eyes him but don't come any closer. Most likely, the horse can feel the anger pourin' off him. His back tenses when he hears the front door open but relaxes once he knows who it is. "Ain't goin'."
River presses herself against Jayne's back and wraps her arms around him although she is careful to avoid his wound. "You have to."
"No I don't have to." Jayne replies. "I done promised you I wouldn't leave you and I meant it."
River slips between Jayne and the fence to look up at her husband. "Jayne, Inara and the captain can never be together if you do not go."
"Ain't my problem." Jayne growls.
"They are family and they deserve to have happiness." River replies.
"Still ain't my problem." Jayne says.
"It's my fault." River whispers. "My fault that you won't go and it will be my fault that Inara will leave and that the captain will hardened his shell further."
"Ain't gonna be your fault." Jayne protests.
"Will too." River argues. "You will not go because of me; because you must stay and protect me because I'm not able to take care of myself."
"Ain't why I won't leave and you know it." Jayne growls. "Gorramit, baby, I just don't wanna be without you."
"And I don't want to be without you." River agrees.
"Good." Jayne replies. "Then we're agreed."
"But you must still go." River says.
"No." Jayne growls.
"Jayne." River whispers.
"No ruttin' way." Jayne growls even louder.
Tears slip down her face as she brings her hands up to show him. "I have blood on my hands." River whispers. "Blood from those I've killed and it will never fade. I can see them and hear them sometimes, wanting to know why. You keep them away, protect me from everything but you will not be able to protect me from this."
Jayne brings River's hands up to his mouth and kisses the tips of her fingers gently. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because I have learned to live with the guilt." River answers. She pulls her hands out of his and then angles his head until he's staring directly into her eyes. "But I do not want to live with the guilt of destroying Inara and Mal's love. If you don't go, I will."
Jayne sighs heavily and wraps his arms around River.
River cuddles her face against Jayne's chest and then squeals when she feels something cold and wet touch the back of her thigh.
"Git." Jayne yells at the horse that is currently rubbing its nose along his wife's thighs. "Gorramit, I'm gonna kill that ruttin' horse."
River turns her hand and pats the horse once before giving it a look. It whines and then gallops across the field.
"That horse's really takin' a shine to you." Jayne comments. "But you best ruttin' stay away from it while I'm gone."
River squeals happily and wraps her arms around Jayne's neck. She peppers kisses across his face before grabbing his hand and leading him back to the house.
Jayne sighs and makes River slow down. "I am so gorram whipped." He mutters.
"Love you Jayne." River beams up at him.
Jayne drops a kiss on her head. "Love you too, baby." Jayne replies. "Even though you're gonna drive me nuts."
They walk in silence back to the house, Jayne's arm wrapped around River's shoulders. His stomach hurts a bit and he knows the doc's gonna yell at him but first he's gonna get a little bit of yellin' in himself.
-
Mal stands up when he hears the front door and braces himself for Jayne tellin' him he ain't goin'. Mal knows he can't force the merc to go, knows there ain't nobody can get him to go but River. He hears Jayne's heavy boots stomping into the house followed by River's more delicate footsteps.
Jayne stomps over to Mal, his arm dropping off River. He takes one look at the captain and then grabs him by the shirtfront. Lifting him up to eye level, despite the protest in his stomach, he lets out the conditions of his leaving. "If'n one ruttin' thing happens to her, I will kill you." Jayne threatens. "I'll stay for three days; anything after that, and I'll catch transport back here."
"Sounds fair." Mal agrees. "You gonna put me down now?"
Jayne drops Mal to his feet. "I ain't goin' for you." Jayne growls. "Just so you know, I'm only goin' cause my wife don't wanna feel guilty for ruinin' your love or some go'se like that."
Simon pushes past Mal and looks at Jayne's stomach, two of the weaves broken open again. "Damn it, Jayne, you are the most frustrating patient I have ever had." Simon yells. "Do you have any idea how long I took on those weaves? And how much pain I was in while doing them? And now you've busted them open for the second time."
Jayne looks down at his stomach. "Only busted open two."
Simon throws his hands up in frustration. "Why even bother?" He yells. "Next time, I'm just going to hand you a piece of gauze and tell you to be on your way."
"Now doc, we both know that ain't gonna happen." Jayne smirks. "River'll beat you up if'n you do, ain't that right baby?"
"I'm afraid it is." River agrees as she urges Jayne to sit down on the couch. She sits beside him and lays her head in his lap and dangles her feet over the arm of the couch. Looking up at her brother, who is repairing the damage to Jayne's chest, she continues. "I do not have very much control when it comes to Jayne…"
"We know." Mal interrupts. "Gorram, if we don't know that."
"I wasn't referring to sex, captain." River says. "You have a very smutty mind. I was referring to his health. I…can't control myself when Jayne is hurt."
"We know that too." Mal replies. "Don't we?"
"Yep." Bill agrees.
"Gotta say we do." Sam agrees.
"Still have the bump." Tim adds.
Jayne looks up to smirk at his brothers. "My wife done kicked all your asses without breakin' a sweat." He looks down at River's smiling face and then back up at his brothers and Mal. "Ain't she just the shiniest?"
