'Sup?

Genre: Romance

Characters: Scarlett, Aurelia

Aurelia teased her fingers across Scarlett's bare shoulder as the latter slept.

She thought back on the events that had led her here. A strict order to not leave Sanctuary from Lilith, an unwanted meeting with a pirate queen across the table of a booth at Moxxi's, a botched attempt on Scarlett's life, a ruined drink and evening gown, and ultimately, a heartfelt apology from said pirate queen, with an added promise to make it up to her, "however you like." And there had been the priceless look on Scarlett's face when Aurelia mentioned that 'however she liked' involved the two of them, a bottle of champaign, and a large bed.

It was, perhaps, a bit contrived sounding. But the last two hours more than made up for the strange journey that led her to where she was.

She gave her sleeping companion a soft kiss. Scarlett stirred a little and groaned at the interruption to her sleep.

"It's late." She muttered.

"It's not that late." Aurelia said. Her fingers danced over Scarlett's back.

"It's bloody late. Besides, twice is enough for one night, don't you think?"

"I feel like we were just getting started."

Scarlett rolled over and faced Aurelia. Her eye was mostly closed, and her breath slow. "We 'just got started' hours ago. At the rate you're going we're not going to sleep at all."

"I feel that's rather the point."

Scarlett closed her eye and sighed heavily. "You're a lunatic. Go to sleep."

Aurelia muttered a few mild curses to herself. She threw the blanket off of her and sat up in bed. "Very well then. If you don't want to love me again I'll just-"

Scarlett wrapped her arm around Aurelia's waist. "Hold on." She pulled her towards her and Aurelia fell back into her spot.

Scarlett gingerly crawled on top of Aurelia and gave her a kiss just below her jaw, and slowly worked her way to her mouth. "You are… a very difficult… woman… to please." She muttered between kisses.

Aurelia smirked. "Maybe you're just not trying hard enough."

"Oh, you're mean." Scarlett put a hand over her heart and pretended to be gravely wounded. "What have I ever done to you?"

"It's not what you've done darling. It's what you're not doing right now."

Scarlett ran her hand through Aurelia's hair. "You know, even I need a break every now and then."

"You had a break. You were asleep for almost fifteen minutes."

Scarlett chuckled. "You're right. I'm surprised you gave me that much."

Aurelia put her arms around Scarlett and pulled her down, closer to her. She whispered in her ear. "Just a few more times darling?"

"A few more?" Scarlett broke into a laugh. "How about, one more?"

"Three times. Now and then twice in the morning."

Scarlett leaned in close and nuzzled Aurelia's neck. "How about never again?"

Aurelia cleared her throat. "Once now and once again in the morning. Please?" She punctuated the sentence with a soft kiss on Scarlett's collarbone.

Scarlett groaned. "Alright. Fine." She slid her hand from Aurelia's neck, down over her breast—where she lingered a few moments—then to her stomach. She slipped her hand around to the small of her back and pressed her close into a kiss. As she pulled away she muttered something under her breath.

"What was that darling?"

"I said, 'you're bloody impossible.'"

Aurelia laughed, then kissed Scarlett again.
