Much later Cara, braid undone, hair splayed across his arm, gently kissed him across his chest. Then rolled to his side breathing heavily, her hand finding his and gently entwining her fingers with his.

Gravel lay on his back, his arm behind his head and his eyes closed… and a huge smile on his face. “Ok… you are gonna have to tell me just how a nice Irish girl like you learned how to do that. Keep that up and I may lose my Orion rep as a sexual powerhouse. Look at ya… downgrading the reputation of an entire species.” and he laughed.

Cara turned her head to the side and looked at him with a grin, blushing several shades of red, still out of breath. “No…worries…you can…talk…I’m…outta....breath.” She closed her eyes with a huge grin and lay there breathing for several minutes. Then she sat up, curled between his arm and his side, her gaze hot and teasing staring into his. “See tha’s the thing. I’m Irish, Grah-VEL. I can do things with my eyes tha’ other women canna do with their bodies.” Then her gaze slowly traveled down and back up the whole time she was smiling.

“And you keep looking at me like that, and we will never get outta this bed.” and he smiled and then kissed her. “But out we need to be.” And he slowly sat up. He looked down at her and said “Ya know… I could stand waking up to that-” and he wiggled his fingers over her naked form, “- every morning, I think. Hell of a way to start the day, that’s for sure.” He stood up and said “Okay… shower, then food. Deal?”

Cara could happily wake up every morning to Gravel, but....”No deal. It’s my day off I’m no gettin’ up. Now I can not get up right here or I can go next door and no get up.” She looked him over again, “Besides didna ya say somethin’ about 24 uninterrupted hours? Ya makin’ promises you canna keep, Malachite?” She curled up against the pillows, since he was up, and closed her eyes. Sh was tired, and it was his fault....and that made her grin.

“Then dining in it is. Now get your butt outta that bed and into this shower. Then food. Then back to bed. Now chop chop, shower time. And don’t worry, I’ll help ya get those hard to reach spots.” and he walked into the bathroom.

Cara didn’t move, not right away. She started to tell him she’d just wait her turn, or not saying anything at all and just staying right where she was. But Cara had the distinct impression she would not win if he decided he had to come back out after her. She got up with an over exaggerating groan, walked into the shower, not sure if she was hoping the water was hot or cold. She looked up at him. “Ya better be glad I’m ta exhausted ta argue with ya.”
