The back and forth continued, with Sam upping the ante by undoing two buttons of her shirt and leaving the rest for her, all the while steering them in a slow dance towards the bedroom. If they made it that far. That remained to be seen.

Navake took the invitation and slowly, deliberately released the remaining buttons. She followed his steps through the slow dance, in no rush, she wanted them to both enjoy the journey.

When they finally reached the doorway to the bedroom, they were down some clothes and Sam paused to cup her face in his hands and give her a lingering kiss “Gods, you’re beautiful,” he said before puling her into the bedroom.

Later, laying in her bed, he traced the tip of his finger lazily down and up her arm, not starting anything, just basking in the contentedness that now lay between them. He went to say something, but words died on his lips and instead, he just smiled one of those stupid and goofy smiles that swept over you when you were ridiculously happy.

Navale laughed softly as he started to speak and just smiled instead. She curled close into the curve of his arm. Her laugh was breathy and contended. “I think the words you are looking for are, ‘Navale, you’re amazing, you’ve ruined me.’ See I’ll go first,” she tapped a little rhythm out on his chest. “I’ve never met anyone like you. You’re under my skin now. No one will ever compare. You’re amazing, Sam.” She laughed softly, but under it all, Sam felt the truth and sincerity of the words.

He grinned. “Hmmm, I do like those words of yours. And it is very possibly true that you’ve ruined me,” he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. His fingers ran along her arm to the fingers on his chest and he took her hand in his, holding it to him.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the compulsion to.. woo a woman, for lack of a better word. All I knew was that once you agreed to this little adventure tonight, I wanted to do everything I could to make you smile. I guess I’m a hopeless romantic, maybe even a fool. But I’m okay with that. Life’s too short to worry about looking foolish.”

~Sam, Host of Florence’s

Navale pushed up on her arm and looked down at him. “You could never be a fool, Sam. Of that I am absolutely positive. Act foolish, perhaps, especially if it brought a smile to someone’s face, but never a fool.” She leaned in and kissed him. “As for the hopeless romantic, I’ve never considered myself a romantic of any kind. You’ve convinced me I was missing out on something very important.”

He smiled beneath her kiss and his arms slipped around her back. “Hmmm, then I think I achieved an even more important goal then the one I set out to. But I do think it’s okay not feel you are the romantic type. It’s far more important, in my mind, to be open to the idea of being romanced. It can look or feel like many different things and is entirely dependant on the person you are with. It gives us the freedom to do things for another person we hope will make them smile and feel good. At least for me, that’s my only goal.” He drew the tips of his fingers down along her spine. “The rest, is just the icing on the cake, as they say.”

~Sam, Host of Florence’s

Navale let her forehead drop to his shoulder, soaking in the tender way his hand brushed her spine. “Mmmm well you are quite successful.” Navale certainly smiled the whole time she’d been with Sam. And she felt happy, carefree while they were together on the beach.

He continued to stroke her back and sighed, every part of him relaxed. “Good,” he said at length. “Now, logistical question. Did you want me to stay? I’m fine with going. Whatever makes you most comfortable.” He hadn’t expected this turn of events and he also didn’t want to put any pressure on them. Whatever this lovely thing was that was happening between them felt special and he didn’t want them to ruin it.

~Sam, Host of Florence’s

“Pfff,” Navale huffed out. “You can leave if you want, but I am perfectly comfortable and content for you to stay. I mean, you seem pretty relaxed to me. It would be cruel to ruin that euphoria.”

Lt. Huzzen, Engineer

His smile touched his eyes again and for the however many-eth time tonight, he mused to himself just how much more he had been smiling around her. “I am indeed relaxed, and I’m happy to stay here with you. ” He shifted his arm to the side so she could nestle in better however she liked.
