A/N: Big thank you to dino-dog83 for beta-ing and I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Riley's place looked to be nothing more than a room in the back corner of the drift, but Harper didn't care about the room size or the lack of decor. All he cared about was the woman in front of him and the bed behind her.

There were things he'd learnt about her through their combined consumption of alcohol. The first being that she was definitely, one hundred percent human and she came from Earth. Cincinnati to be specific. When she'd told him that he'd spent quiet a few minutes grinning like an idiot, revelling in the thought of meeting this beautiful woman being from Earth, that wasn't something that happened every day. Maybe that's why it was working out so well for him. Maybe there was some special bond that the two Earthlings shared, something that was drawing her to him.

The second thing he'd learnt about Riley was that when he'd pulled her in for their first kiss she'd curled up in giggles when he touched her neck. It didn't take him long to discover her data port and he knew from experience that those things were all kinds of sensitive and ticklish.

The third thing he'd learnt in their short time together, was that she was a lot smarter than she looked. Dressed in dark cargo pants and a bright yellow sleeveless shirt that were both too big for her frame, along with the black boots and she had a dirty red scarf hanging around her neck. Harper would've taken her for a simple shop worker or even a vendor if she hadn't impressed him so much with her knowledge about getting more power from a ships engine than it 'officially' had to offer.

Harper was quickly pulled from his thoughts as she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him inside. It was just as small as it looked from the outside and the clutter, half built mechanisms and other unfinished inventions did nothing to increase the feeling of size.

When the door was slammed shut behind him, Harper's attention turned to the woman who'd pulled him all the way here, not that he was complaining of course. She beckoned him towards her with one finger and he grinned putting his hands on her waist before he leaned forward and kissed her. She tasted of Sparky cola with a hint of vodka. That was his drink of choice, and god how he loved it, but he loved it even more so on a woman.

The more they kissed, the urgency to go farther and do more was mounting, and it wasn't just him feeling it. The alcohol only helped to intensify their feelings as they began awkwardly pulling at belts, undoing buttons and tugging at zippers all the while laughing.

At one point they bumped into a table on the other side of the room. It was the sound of one of the gadgets falling to the floor in a large almost painful clatter that distracted them from the heated kisses. Harper glanced down at the broken item and winced feeling bad for his part in breaking the device. Riley turned to survey the damage with little concern all the while running a couple of fingers through his hair.

"I'll fix it later," she muttered turning her eyes back to his and peppering his neck in small hot kisses.

Curiosity got the better of the genius and he couldn't help but to question her, "What's it?"

"Err," she started as her head swung back down to face the broken pieces. "Footprint nullsification dee-vice," she slurred.

At least he wasn't the only one so far gone that speaking was difficult. He frowned at her. "What?"

"You attach to ships engines; it cancels out any proton emersions or radiation leaks. Anything, that would point at you," she jabbed a finger at his chest and met his slightly glazed, slightly intoxicated, blue eyes, "And! Invisible to all scans." A laugh escaped her and the thoughts of any cheeky fun departed the Andromeda's Engineer for a few brief seconds.

He managed a disbelieving half grin, "No way."

"Yeah way."

He grinned. "But that's impossrable."

"Nearly."

"Does it work?" he questioned with his curiosity on high alert.

She looked back down at the broken pieces. "It will." She snapped her eyes back his, "Now, if you're done talking shop Seamus." She purred his name, making the butterflies in his stomach dance and his thoughts of the broken device on the floor disappear.

His mind was over taken with cheeky, dirty and very adult thoughts causing a goofy grin to appear on his face. "Riley, you can do to me whate'er the hell you wanna." She chuckled and moved closer as she pulled him in for another kiss.
