A moment to breathe you in

Two days time has gone by, the lights in the satellite above flicker in an attempt to resuscitate itself- but to no avail. Maya informed Lilith that in her search for Mordecai she had left behind a trail of destruction, knocking out half of jacks functional portions of the spacecraft and crippling the rest. As they looked out the balcony up into the sky- it seemed obvious that Jack had lived. He was probably up there repairing what could be salvaged and plotting his vengeance.

However with him out of the picture for the moment Mordecai is left to his thoughts, the thoughts that keep surfacing despite the last few years of beating them down. Despite not having said much to his wife lately Mordecai finds himself staring at her wondering, if its safe to want these things at all anymore. This same thought is the same want he'd had since before leaving Artemis. Even in youth watching families together, it always left him with a sense of yearning. As he got older it shifted from wanting decent parents to the want for a good woman. With a good woman he could have a family, it's a simple want. He is after all at the very base of himself a simple man. He returned home with her, even if she didn't have much to say to him, so he didn't talk. He just looked at her and was again left to his thoughts.

In his mind Maya had proved herself to be very strong on many occasions, on their wedding. She did not want to marry him that much was obvious, but it was asked of her and she did as was asked. She left behind her home to make a new home with a stranger. Maya had continued to do what was asked of her again and again. So far she has only asked for one thing and he refused. Mordecai closed his eyes with a heavy sigh and tried not to be mad at himself.

She laid on the other side of the bed with her back facing him, as much he liked her back he would much rather look at her face. Shifting slightly, he reached out and gently touched her shoulder, her movement is slight.

" mami"

He calls for her in something below a whisper, she doesn't seem to notice til her he gently rubs her arms. She mumbles in her sleep and rolls onto her back, Mordecai smiles at her sleeping face. He brushes a few loose hairs over her ear, cold. Her skin is so cold against his. This seems to rouse her slightly, her eyes slowly blink open.

"mmmnnn?"

She might have been saying something or another but none of it is coherent. He finds he can't help it as he gently presses a kiss to her cheek. He's warm so damn warm, Maya mumbles something else as she rolls to press herself against him. As she presses herself against him he runs his fingers through her hair. That little smile that tugs at the corner of her mouth makes him think of a cat purring loudly.

He wonders if she would ever admit how much she likes being touched, being held. While he doesn't get to hold her her as often as he would like, when he does-she smiles. He reaches over to hold her hands, giving a gentle squeeze and smiling at the way her hands lazily close around his. Mordecai finds that sleep comes to him easily when his body is pressed flush to hers,he doesn't even realize he's nodded off.

Maya wakes surprised to find Mordecai's arms wrapped around her, holding her hands. She wants to remain upset with him but it becomes difficult when hes holding her so tenderly, as she shifts a bit he presses his face against her neck. Warm breath falling down her shoulder, leaving chills down her spine. She turns to try and look at him,his hair is in the way. Maya can't help but laugh at how unseemly his hair is in the morning, this sound seems to call him from his dream. When he opens his eyes the first thing he sees is her smiling at him. Its going to be a good day isn't it?

"mornin' mami"

He presses a kiss to her jaw, her smile grows wider showing off her pearly whites. Maya feels her face flush with warmth, his lips drag down her jaw then her places several light kisses on her neck and shoulder.

"good morning..."

She rolls slightly, onto her back only find him pressing his lips over hers. Mordecai reaches across her to place his hand on her hip, his fingers dancing over the thin fabric of her sleeping shirt. His tongue darts out over her lower lip, her hands rise up to his shoulders and right now she doesn't recall that she had been so upset. Mordecai pushes himself up on top of her, his knees on either side of her legs which are presses shut at the knees. Her hands knead at his shoulders while he wanders her mouth, boldly he slips his tongue past her lips and swipes it over hers. Maya pulls him close without thinking and winds her hands into his hair. Mordecai almost gasps when he feels her suck on his tongue without hesitation. Wide hands grasp at her hips, he presses a knee between hers, pleased when her legs part for him.

They part only for lack of oxygen, although as they do Mordecai finds her gaze heated while her hands flow down his shoulders and chest to tug at the hem of his shirt. He can't help the lopsided grin as he stands on his knees and pulls the obstructing garment over his head to toss off to the side. Immediately her hands press over his bare skin, tracing his scars and the outline of muscle down his abdomen. Mordecai watches as she pushes herself up into a sitting position, she grasps his hips and presses soft kisses just beneath his naval. Maya drags the tip of her tongue over the sensitive area, exhaling onto the wet skin and watching goosebumps rise. Mordecai grips her shoulder she teases him, his arousal protruding from beneath his boxers. He watches her grasp at the hem of her sleeping shirt and pull it over herself, she drops it off to the side of the bed. Mordecai can feel his breath catching when she exposes her soft full breasts and lays herself gently back down onto the bed.

Mordecai sets himself over her, her legs close around him pulling him right up against the heat of her own arousal. He kisses her breasts before sucking and lapping at her nipples. His hand slides down her side to her her hips, where his fingertips catch her the small bit of fabric that hides her womanhood from him. He grins at her briefly before he crawls down her body kissing every bit of skin on his way down. Maya lifts her hips for him to pull the garment away sliding it over her long legs before tossing it carelessly away. Mordecai hold her leg up on his shoulder, trailing kisses down her ankle, her calf , thigh and then sliding his tongue over her already wet lips.

Maya props herself up on her elbows to watch him from his place there between his thighs. She can't help the way her breath is suddenly so heavy, she can feel his warm tongue sliding over her. His tongue moves in small circles directly over her clitoris before he closes his lips around it sucking firmly. He can feel her thighs tighten as she gasps, he keeps going his tongue still moving as he gently slides his hand over her thigh. She wants to watch him but can't help the way her back arcs, she lets her head fall back against the pillows. Maya can't stop the strange noises that fall from her mouth while his fingers slip into her, curving and sliding inside her.

Mordecai revels in the sounds she makes, it fuels the fire that burns in him. He reaches deep into her with curved fingers, finding somewhere sweet. She lets out a loud gasp, his finger tips slide over that place while he continues sucking at her swollen pearl. Her hands fist into the sheets as she finds her self moaning and gasping. With his free hand he hold on of her legs down against the bed, her other leg hooked over his shoulder. Mordecai feels her thigh quivering and works a bit faster, she grows steadily louder. Maya can't help the way her hips start to roll desperate for more, she throws her arms up over her face desperately gripping the pillow.

As she begins to move, he takes a hint and thrust his fingers harder into her, the sound of her approval is muffled by the pillow she grips so tightly. It is only just a moment later than Mordecai feels warmth squirt against the roof his mouth, the pillow does little to stifle the way she sound she lets out. Mordecai moves quickly standing on his knees just long enough to slip his boxers down and climb over her. He takes the pillow and throws it to the side, quickly her arms latch around him. His mouth presses over hers while he rolls his hips firmly pressing his heated member into her. She huffs at the sudden feeling of fullness but is not given a moment to adjust as he thrusts. She moans as he quickly locates that place he had been stroking earlier, his movements are desperate and jerky. Maya feels him breathing against her neck, huffing and grunting. He reaches down and lifts her knee up to thrust more deeply into her. The room is filled with heavy breathing moaning and the sound of wet skin slapping together.

Mordecai loves it the feel of nails in his back and the way she pulls his hair. The fact that she can't stop her hips from meeting him at every thrust. They move together like the ocean waves crashing against the shore. Her body grips him in tight heat and as they go on he can feel her inner walls tightening and convulsing as she comes for a second time. Her pleasure tips him over the edge and pulls him down. They stay pressed together that way until their bodies stop shaking, he lets out a soft groan as he rolls to lay down beside her. She lays there feeling like a rag doll tossed over his chest, a soft kiss is pressed against her forehead as she struggles to keep her eyes open. She mumbles something but neither of them understands quite what.

Mordecai smiles as he feels breath begin to steady on his chest, he rolls his head to the side and sees a little red light on his echo blinking. He narrows his eyes at it and tries to force his muddled mind to clear. No such luck. Did that mean there was a message or that it was recording?

Crap.
