FYI: Last time; River wasn't sleeping again, Zoe found out and told Jayne, he went back to her room, they slept. When they woke up, Jayne kissed her and then they groped. Kaylee walked in, Jayne went to his bunk, Kaylee and River talked bout sex then went to tune the engine. Belt flew off and cut River's stomach. Simon patched her up, Jayne got all worried then suggested they watch something off the cortex.
-
"What're we gonna watch?" Kaylee asks. She watches as Jayne and Wash set up the cortex adapter so that they can watch somethin' on the projection screen that pulls down from the ceiling in the common room off the infirmary.
"Hold it still." Wash orders Jayne.
"I ruttin' am." Jayne replies. "Couldn't ya work a bit faster?"
"It's a little hard when I can't see anything." Wash responds, his head inside the wall, trying to connect the adapter into the cortex feed so they can play something.
"Nobody answered me." Kaylee says. "What're we gonna watch?"
"I'm sure there are some documentaries that we can download off the cortex." Simon comments.
"You gonna be able to hear over the rest of us snorin'?" Jayne asks.
"There's a couple of soaps on bout this time." Kaylee says. "Maybe we can watch one of em."
"That's just as bad as what the doc suggested." Jayne replies, his arms straining from the weight of trying to hold the sliding wall panel up and the end of the large cord.
"What the gorram hell is goin' on here?" Mal bellows as he walks into the common room.
"We're gonna watch somethin', cap'n." Kaylee answers. "Just don't know what."
"Finally." Wash mutters. He slides his head out of the wall and sits up. "You can put it down now Jayne."
Jayne drops the paneling and the cord with a grunt. "No wonder we don't do this. Takes too gorram long."
"What the hell are you gonna watch anyways?" Mal questions. "We're too gorram far into the black to get much besides the news, soaps or educational go-se."
"And I doubt you'll wanna watch that." Zoe adds.
Wash connects the cord to the plug on the back of the screen before grabbing the hand-held cortex screen. "News. Entertainment news." Wash mutters as he flips through screens. "Sports. Health news. Yep, not a gorram thing on."
River grabs the screen out of his hand and her fingers zoom over the buttons. She hands it back to Wash after a few minutes. "It must download first." River says. "It will take a few minutes. Come on Kaylee. Provisions are needed."
"Provisions?" Mal repeats. "We ain't goin' to war."
River ignores Mal and drags Kaylee down the hall.
"How'd she find this?" Wash mutters, looking down at the screen.
"Find what?" Mal asks.
"Some new movie." Wash replies. "I wanted to take wifey to see it but alas, she didn't want to go. River found a copy of it but it must be an illegal copy."
"Not surprising." Simon comments. "There really isn't anything she can't find on the cortex."
"What kind of movie is it?" Book asks as he takes a seat on the couch.
"Some romantic war movie." Wash answers.
"We're watchin' a girly movie?" Jayne groans.
"It has guns." Wash assures him. "And people dying."
"That's okay then." Jayne replies as he starts moving the furniture around so that the screen is viewable from every seat. That done, he plops down in a large chair and kicks his feet up on the table.
"Sure you don't need help?" Kaylee asks as she follows River down the hall. "Don't think it's good for you to be carryin' all that stuff with your tummy torn up."
"She can carry it." River assures her, her arms holding a few blankets, a few bags of protein snaps, and a couple bottles of water.
Kaylee follows behind with some pillows, glasses, and bowls. She sets it all on the table and grabs the water and protein snaps off the blankets River is carrying. She fills 5 bowls with protein snaps and hands them out to all the men around.
River pours the water into the glasses and hands them out before taking her own and moving over to the chair Jayne is sitting on. She plops down onto his lap and grabs one of the blankets she brought down with her. Wiggling around, she finally settles down sitting across Jayne's lap with her feet on the armrests and the bowl of snaps on her lap.
"You okay?" Jayne questions. "Your tummy ain't hurtin' you none, is it?"
"I am quite comfortable." River replies as she leans her head against his chest and pops a few snaps into her mouth.
Mal and Simon look at River then Jayne and finally at each other.
"Well, come'n cap'n, you gotta watch with us." Kaylee says pushing him down onto the couch. She then grabs Inara's hand and pushes her down next to Mal. "You two can share the snaps. I'm gonna share with Simon. Wash, play whatever it is we're watchin'."
Wash plays the movie before joining his wife on the couch beside the captain and the companion. Kaylee, Simon, and Book take the smaller couch as the movie starts.
The movie starts and is very violent at the beginning, but being a war movie, it isn't unexpected. Kaylee flinches and leans into Simon.
"That's inaccurate." River points out.
"What was that?" Mal questions grimacing when a man's head gets blown off.
"He didn't reload." River replies. "That particular weapon only holds 8 rounds at a time. He shot 12 times."
"Good eyes darlin'." Jayne says, patting her leg over the blanket.
"And the other one wouldn't have died so quickly." River adds.
"She is right about that." Simon agrees. "It would have taken a few more minutes and he would have started to..."
"Doc, we don't need the details." Mal cuts in. "Sides, most of us knew that."
"Can we just watch?" Kaylee says as the fighting stops and the next scene shows one of the solders arguing with a nurse.
Halfway into the movie, River wiggles around again, puts the snaps on the floor, and then takes the blanket off before putting it back on, this time covering most of Jayne too.
Jayne's hands rest on River's legs under the blanket and he knows he should move em but instead continues to rub them through her skirt. She moves one leg off the armrest and moves it to rest over his legs. Jayne swallows heavily at her open position, his hands still rubbing at her legs. He feels her arm moving under the blanket and when her hand touches his, he starts to pull back thinking that's what she wants. He's a bit shocked when instead of pushing his hand away, she moves it under her skirt to rest on her bare knee.
His body hardens further at the feel of her bare, soft skin under his hand. He massages her knee for a few moments before slidin' his hand up her thigh. Her skin is softer than anything he's ever felt b'fore. He moves slowly, waiting for her to make some form of protest. She doesn't. When he finally makes it to the apex of her thighs, he lets out a groan when his hand encounters nothin' but her heat.
"Jayne, are you okay?" Book asks.
"Fine." Jayne grunts. "Just swallowed wrong."
Mal glances over at Jayne and River but when he doesn't see anything, he looks back at the screen.
Jayne knows he's gotta stop; they ain't alone and it really ain't the time for this. But he needs to touch her once beforehand. He slips one finger between her folds and closes his eyes at the wetness that's practically pourin' out of her. Against what he knows he oughta be doin', he slips his finger inside of her wet core. He pulls it out just as quickly, knowin' they can't do this cause any second now, someone's gonna glance over and know what they're doin'. Hell, the gorram lights are still on. She pushes her hips against his hand, seeking contact and he wants nothin' more than to give it to her.
Kaylee glances over at River and Jayne and is barely able to contain her squeal. She jumps up quickly and flips the light off before grabbing the cortex screen and turning the volume up.
"What the hell?" Mal mutters.
"There was a glare on the screen." Kaylee explains. "And I couldn't hear what she was sayin'."
"Oh." Mal mutters.
Jayne's still tryin' to focus on the lights bein' out when he feels River's hand touch his again, pushin' it against her core. He slips a finger back inside of her and uses his thumb to rub gently at her nubbin. He can't do what he knows they both want, push his fingers deep and hard inside of her. With how wet she is, every gorram one would know what he was doin' after a few thrusts. But as long as he don't move too fast and hard, he can play with her a bit. He moves his free hand up her body, avoidin' her tummy wound, to cup a breast.
River leans heavily against Jayne's chest, biting down on her lip to keep from moaning. His finger feels wonderful inside of her but the speed and shallowness of his thrusts is almost torture. She knows he can't be hard and fast, the slurping sound wouldn't be heard for anything but what it is, but she doesn't think she's going to be able to hold back her whimpers. When his hand cups her breast, she closes her eyes on a shudder.
Jayne tugs on her hardened nipple as his finger pushes slowly inside of her, his thumb rubbin' her clit firmly. Her body shudders on top of him and he has to wonder how she's holdin' back her moans and whimpers. He knows she's bout to cum and he just hopes she don't scream. His finger stops movin' when he feels her little hand reach down and cup him. She massages him for a few seconds before unsnapping his pants and reachin' inside to grasps his hard cock in her soft palm. Her thumb rubs over his tip before trailing down his staff to gently cup his balls. She massages them for a minute and his head drops back to rest on the back of the chair. He forces himself to start pumpin' his finger again, not wanting to get off before her. She moves back up his staff and starts to jerk him off with quick but quiet motions. Her hands stops for a second to gather the pre-cum off his tip before resuming her maddening actions.
River likes the feel of his cock under her hand. It's hard and hot and silky smooth. She still doesn't think he's going to fit inside of her; she's much too small, but as she said before, she still wants to be certain. She knows they must be quiet and still or someone will know what they are doing. But she doesn't want to. Her whimpers are building up in her throat and with nowhere to go, she has to swallow them. She wants to buck against his hand, push his finger deeper but instead opens her legs further to allow him more access.
Jayne feels her legs spread and adds a second finger to her wet heat. He pushes them in as far as he can and rests them there as his thumb still rides her clit. She's soppin' wet at this point and it's coating his hand. Her warm, little hand still pumps him and how nobody's noticed, he don't know. In the back of his mind he registers the loud gunfire echoing around the room but it takes second place to his heavy breathing and River's pantin'. He wants to kiss her, feel her tongue in his mouth, but doesn't. Somebody would notice that. Her hand starts pumpin' faster, her grip firmer and his balls start to tighten. Wanting her to go before him, he gives his fingers a good twist, pushes down hard with his thumb, and pinches a nipple ruthlessly.
River's breathing starts come in pants when he adds a second finger, stretching her further than she ever has been. She knows the only reason two of his big fingers will fit inside of her is because of the many times she's had three of her own fingers inside. She wants to bite his tongue and lips and feel him bite hers but knows they can't. Somebody will notice and they will have to stop and she doesn't want to stop; she can't stop. She feels her orgasm coming; her belly and legs quivering while her walls start to flutter. She feels a scream building up and knows she won't be able to swallow it. Turning her face into his chest, she does the only thing she can to smother the scream. She bites down, hard. She can't help her hips small spasm as the pleasure flows through her body; mindless, breath stealing pleasure.
Jayne feels River's walls start to flutter and then is blinded by dark, painful pleasure when her teeth clamp onto his chest and her hand vices around his cock. Her walls squeeze tightly around his fingers, pullin' 'em deeper inside. He bites down on his lip to keep from groanin' as he squirts hotly over her hand. His eyes closed and head leanin' against the back of the chair, he tries to control his breathing enough so's that no one will hear.
River leans her head against Jayne's chest as she breaths erratically. His fingers are still inside her and her hand is still wrapped around his flaccid cock, his cum cooling on her hand. Once her breathing is back to normal, she reluctantly tucks him back into his pants, buttons them up, and then wipes her hand off on the blanket.
Jayne coughs loudly and pulls his fingers out at the same time. He follows River's lead and wipes his fingers off on the blanket. Placing his hand back on her thigh, he gives it a gentle squeeze before pullin' her closer to his body and restin' his chin on the top of her head.
River leans into Jayne's chest with a contented sigh and glances up at the screen just in time for the credits to start rolling. She sees Wash walking over to turn on the light and looks over at Kaylee to see the mechanic sniffling happily.
"That was so sweet." Kaylee gushes as she wipes away tears.
Simon smiles at her, his hand moving down to hold hers.
"You're a softie." Mal says, rolling his eyes.
"Don't even try that cap'n." Kaylee replies. "I saw the smile on your face right after the light came on. You too Zoe."
"Just glad it was finally over." Mal defends.
"Nara like it." Kaylee says. "So did Wash and Simon and Book, right?"
"It was a little gruesome at times but I still enjoyed it." Book replies.
Inara and Simon nod their agreement.
"Mei-mei, did you like it?" Simon asks, looking over at his sister.
River's widen as she glances up at Jayne and then back at her brother. "It was nice."
Simon stares at his sister, confused by her answer. Normally after they watch a movie, she dissects every part from the special effects to the plot line to the acting. Not because she doesn't like it, but because she likes taking them apart to see how they fit together in the first place.
"Somehow I expected a longer answer than that." Wash comments.
"Me too." Mal says.
Kaylee gives Simon a light peck on the lips before jumping up and walking over to River. "We're gonna go hang out." Kaylee says. "Come on River, let's go."
River smiles up at Jayne and then stands up, taking the blanket with her. "Bye."
Jayne reaches an arm out and grabs her wrist. "Stay away from the engine." Jayne orders.
River rolls her eyes.
With a growl, Jayne pulls her back down onto his lap. "I ain't jokin'." Jayne growls. "You hadn't jumped away that belt woulda cut you in half."
"But it didn't." River replies. She grabs his hand and places it on her belly. "See, still one piece."
"We ain't goin' to the engine room." Kaylee assures him. "And what happened was a freak accident. In the three years I've been on this boat, a belt's never slipped off."
"I'll be perfectly fine." River assures him. She reaches up and bites his lip before jumping off his lap to follow Kaylee out of the room.
"So, Jayne, did you like the movie?" Mal asks once the girls are gone.
"Sure." Jayne mutters.
"What was your favorite part?" Mal questions.
"Oh, hell Mal." Jayne mutters. "I don't ruttin' know. I didn't see nothin' past the first 30 minutes."
"I knew it." Mal replies.
"Knew what?" Simon questions confusedly. "Did you fall asleep?"
"Gorramit Jayne." Mal yells. "There's a ruttin' time and place for that and sittin' two feet away from me ain't it."
"You were….with River….me.." Simon stutters.
"She started it." Jayne says defensively.
"And you couldn't of….." Mal starts.
"What, jumped up and said we were gonna go mess around?" Jayne cuts in.
"I'd rather ya have done that what ya did." Mal replies. "I know her…intentions and all but I'd rather not have to witness them."
"Intentions?" Simon questions. "What intentions?"
"Your little sister's intentions towards Jayne here." Mal replies.
"And they are?" Simon prods.
"She plans on what was it again?" Wash answers. "Oh yeah, mating with him."
Simon closes his eyes on a groan.
"You okay doc?" Jayne mutters, a little bit worried bout how Simon was gonna handle this. He knows he can take the doc in a second but he does got all those drugs and needles handy.
"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that." Simon replies.
"Denial will only work for so long doc." Zoe comments with a smile.
"You have your way of dealing and I have mine." Simon replies. "And right now I need to focus on something else. Has anybody else noticed River say 'I' lately?"
"Yeah." Mal says. "When we was leavin' the postal station, right after you left to talk to Kaylee, and just a few minutes ago."
"But Jayne was always near her then." Book comments. "Has anybody heard her do it besides that?"
Everyone shakes their heads then look towards Jayne, the only one who didn't respond.
"Jayne?" Mal questions. "She do it when we ain't round?"
"Yeah." Jayne answers. "Couple times this mornin' after we woke up."
"So you were talkin'?" Mal supplies.
"Not really." Jayne replies. "We did some things and after she stopped usin' 'she' and 'her'."
"What did she say?" Simon asks, wanting to run into the infirmary to get her file.
"Don't think you really want me to answer that." Jayne says with a smirk, rememberin' what she said.
"If it will help me understand her progress, then yes, I would like to know." Simon replies.
"Fine." Jayne says. "First, she said 'you make me ache', last thing she said was 'I want to help' and you ain't hearin' what she said between."
"Don't think I wanna know." Mal mutters.
"Were you touching her then?" Simon questions, looking around for something to write on.
"Yeah." Jayne answers. "And that's all I'm sayin'. What we do is between us and I ain't talkin' bout it more than I already have."
"And I don't wanna hear more." Mal agrees. "It's bout dinner time anyways. Simon and Book, you start on that while Wash and Jayne clean up their mess. Me and Zoe got captain-y things to do."
"We do?" Zoe replies, arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Mal says. "So, get to work."
Book and Simon walk towards the mess with Inara trailing them while Jayne and Wash start putting the common room back in order. Zoe follows Mal, still confused by what they had to do.
"Sir?" Zoe says once they're on the bridge. "What do we have to do?"
"Nothin'." Mal answers with a smirk. He plops down on the pilot chair and looks up at her. "Just didn't feel like helpin'."
-
Kaylee plops down on River's bed, pulling River with her. "What were you two doin'?" Kaylee questions with a grin.
"Playing." River answers. "And groping."
"Groping?" Kaylee gasps. "You're so lucky. I wish I was gropin' someone."
"Simon." River supplies.
"It'd be nice." Kaylee agrees. "But we've only kissed a couple times since you locked us in that closet."
"You should ask Simon to take you out somewhere when we are planet side." River suggests. "Simon must court you before he moves the relationship any further."
"Think so?" Kaylee questions.
River nods.
"Was it nice?" Kaylee asks. "The gropin'?"
"Yes." River answers with a smile. "Jayne's hands feel nice but now she knows how large he is and she was right to fear he won't fit."
"That big?" Kaylee replies.
River holds her hands up to show Kaylee.
"I always wondered how big he'd be." Kaylee says with large eyes. "Jayne's got experience and I'm pretty sure he can make sure it don't hurt too gorram much."
They continue to talk for the next few minutes before leaving the room to go to dinner.
"You didn't burn anything." River says to Simon in shock.
"I am quite capable of learning to cook." Simon replies.
"Sure you are." Kaylee agrees, moving over to pat him on the back.
Dinner is a quiet affair, the day's activities finally catching up them. River and Kaylee do the dishes while the rest of the crew talk aimlessly at the table. Book and Inara are the first to turn in followed closely by Wash and Zoe.
"Come on, darlin', let's go to bed." Jayne says.
River looks up at Jayne. "You're sleeping with her?"
"Sure am." Jayne replies. "Know if you can't sleep, you still ain't gonna say nothin'."
River says goodnight to Kaylee, kisses both Mal and Simon on the cheek, and follows Jayne out of the mess.
"Don't think I like you kissin' on the captain." Jayne says as he ushers her into her room. He shuts her door and turns around just in time to see her dress hit the floor. "Ta ma duh." Jayne mutters, his eyes running over her bare back and the indents right above her ass cheeks, down over her ass cheeks, along her shapely legs, and down to her bare feet. She ain't as curvy as most of the women he sexes but just the sight of her body gets him harder than a rock. She grabs a nightgown and slips it over her head before settling down on her bed against the wall. Jayne kicks his boots off, drops his pants, and crawls onto the bed beside her.
River snuggles against his chest with a yawn. "You are aroused."
"I know." Jayne replies and kisses her forehead. "But you're exhausted. Just go to sleep."
River yawns again and throws a leg over his hip.
Jayne tightens his arm around her waist and buries his face in her hair, trying to ignore his arousal.
-
Jayne feels River tracing over his face again only this time instead of her fingers, it's her mouth.
"Whatcha doin', tidbit?" Jayne murmurs.
"Tasting you." River answers, her tongue moving out to lick his cheek. "You taste very good."
"Bet you do too." Jayne replies. "And I aim to find out."
He moves his hands down to grasp her hips and starts to drag her up his body.
"What?" River questions.
"Said I wanna taste you." Jayne replies, moving her to settle above his face, her knees on either side of his head. "Meant it."
Jayne pushes her nightgown up her legs and above her waist. He uses a finger to test her wetness and then pushes it deep inside her. She pushes down against his hand eagerly. "Need ya to squat down, baby." Jayne growls.
River nods and moves her knees out until her dripping folds are right above his face.
Jayne closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, wanting her scent imprinted deep inside of him. He opens his eyes with the full intent of hearin' her scream again. He blows hotly on her wet folds and chuckles when she jumps.
"Jayynee." River moans.
Giving into what they both want, he runs his tongue between her folds. She taste better than anythin' he can remember and with on taste, he knows he's addicted. He laps at her for a few seconds before pushing his tongue deep inside her.
River bites her lip as the pleasure shoots through her body.
River's not makin' a sound and Jayne starts to wonder if maybe he's movin' too fast for her. He pulls his tongue out and leans back to look up at her face. "Hey now, none of that." Jayne says, moving a finger to slip between her lips. "I wanna hear ya, dong ma? I wanna hear what I do to you."
River sucks on his finger while at the same time bucks her hips towards his face.
Jayne returns to his earlier mission; makin' River scream. He runs his tongue between her folds, lapping at the wetness that drips out of her and down his face. He shoves his tongue inside of her again, thrusting it in and out repeatedly until his entire face is soaked and she's writhing above him wildly.
"Ohh…more….can't quantify…Jayynee." Words spill out of River's mouth and she has no control over them. Her thighs are tense from the strain of holding her aroused body up. She can feel the wetness pouring out of her as his tongue moves in and out and in and out and in and out. Until she can't focus on anything but the throbbing bundle of nerves begging for attention; a bundle Jayne has neglected. "Please, oh, please Jayne. I..it burns…."
Jayne groans at her begging and gives in to her demands. He flicks her clit with his tongue a few times before drawling it into his mouth and sucking harshly. Jayne smirks when his mission is fulfilled and he gets to hear her scream. He greedily laps up her release, his hands gripping her hips to hold her still.
River feels herself explode and has to let the scream escape. She thinks it's Jayne's name but she's not sure and honestly doesn't care. Her whole body is flooded with pleasure, more than she's ever felt before. She feels Jayne gently lift her and place her beside him on the bed. Once she feels reassembled, she sits up and tugs on Jayne's arm to get him to do the same. She pushes on his chest, urging him against the wall. Once he does, she crawls onto his lap and slams her mouth onto his, moaning when his teeth nip hers. She feels Jayne running his hands up her sides and reaches down to grab the bottom of her nightgown, pulling it over her head. Then her hands dig under his t-shirt and Jayne stops long enough to pull it off. His hands resume their mission, running up her sides to cup her breasts.
Jayne cups River's breasts, loving the feel of them in his hands. His thumbs rub her nipples and he smiles when she whimpers. He loves the sounds she makes, the sounds she can't hold back. Loves that it's his hands and mouth and tongue makin' her mindless. He feels her fingers slip into the waistband of his boxers and he automatically lifts his hips so she can push them off. When he feels the cold air hit is cock, he finally realizes how for they've gone. They're both naked as the day they were born. He knows they oughta be stoppin', that they might just be movin' a bit too fast when his cock is surrounded by her wetness as she pushes down, bringing him between her folds.
River braces her hands on his thighs behind her and rocks herself against his cock, moaning loudly as it slides between her folds to brush her clit.
Jayne groans loudly at the feel of her folds around his cock, at the warm wetness of her body. He wants nothin' more than to push deep inside her body but instead just starts moving with her. She moans every time his tip hits her clit and then whimpers as his staff rubs against it. Her hair tickles his calves as she leans back further and further until she's lying on his legs, her hips still thrusting against his. He knows he's bout to cum, can feel it building up. Reaching forward, he searches for a breast and then pinches the nipple he finds. His other hand reaches down between them to slip two fingers inside of her. It ain't easy and he fumbles for a second before finding a rhythm that works, but manages to finger her while at the same time push his cock between her folds.
River's body is on overload and she can't focus on one thing. His fingers pinching her nipple, his fingers pushing inside of her, and his cock sliding between her folds; she gives up trying to figure out what pleasure comes from what action and just feels. Jayne's tip pushes past her clit and his staff rubs along it and she feels herself start to come. Then he pushes his fingers deep inside her and she does. She screams again, unable to control the sounds. She feels a warmness on her belly and a deep groan from Jayne. She wants to make sure he's okay but can't form anything but whimpers.
"You okay?" Jayne questions a few minutes later. "Sweetness, you gonna answer me?"
River opens her eyes and looks up to see Jayne looking at her intently. "Fine." River answers. "I like you touching my skin."
"I like touching it." Jayne replies with a smirk.
River props her body up with her hands and glances down at the wetness cooling on her lower belly. Sitting up completely, she feels it run slightly down her body. Fascinated by his release, she dips a finger into it curiously. It's cooled down a little and she lets it coat her finger before bringing said finger up to study. It resembles her release and she wonders what it tastes like. Jayne seemed to enjoy tasting hers so she thinks it will be the same with her. Unable to control her curiosity any longer, she sticks her finger into her mouth and sucks his essence off her skin.
Jayne watches as River studies his cum and just hopes it don't freak her out or nothin'. He's completely unprepared when she sticks her finger in it and then stares at it for a few moments. Then he's beyond unprepared when she sucks it off her finger.
"I want to taste you." River says.
"What now?" Jayne grunts, still picturing her sucking his cum off her finger.
"I want to taste you." River repeats. "Feel you in my mouth."
Jayne starts to harden at her words and is about to respond when Kaylee's voice echoes down the hall.
"I'll get her up." Kaylee says loudly. "River might be gettin' dressed or somethin'. I'll wake 'em up if they're still sleepin'."
Jayne groans when he realizes they're bout to get interrupted by Kaylee again. The door opens and Jayne reaches for River's blanket when he sees Kaylee's eyes are closed.
"Kay, I'm gonna keep my eyes closed till you guys tell me to open em." Kaylee says, turning around to face the door.
River grabs her nightgown and uses it to wipe her stomach off and dry the area between her legs before handing it to Jayne. She jumps off her bed and walks over to her dresser to get a clean dress.
Jayne uses her nightgown to wipe of his fingers and face and then tosses it in her dirty clothesbasket. He grabs his boxers and shirts and slips them off before finding his pants and pulling them on. He looks over at River to see her fully dressed. Slipping his boots on, he grabs River's arm and pulls her over to him.
"Mornin' pretty girl." Jayne whispers.
"Morning my Jayne." River whispers back.
Jayne leans down and kisses her gently. "Alright, Kaylee, you can open your eyes now." Jayne says after he breaks the kiss.
"I'm gonna go take a shower and change." Jayne tells River. "See you at breakfast. And you two try and stay outa trouble, dong ma?"
"We always do." River replies.
Jayne laughs. "Sure you do." Jayne agrees sarcastically.
River sticks her tongue out at him.
"Brat." Jayne says with a smile.
"Am not." River protests.
"Are too." Jayne replies. "And I like ya that way. It's all kinds of entertainin' to watch you torture Mal and your brother."
River tries to look innocent but fails miserably. "I find it fun too."
Kaylee laughs at River's face. "So do I." Kaylee agrees. "Simon and the cap'n are just all kinds of fussy and it's fun to see their feathers tickled."
Jayne drops a kiss on River's forehead and pats Kaylee on the arm before walking out of the room and leaving the girls to their upcoming gossip.
