SNIP

Oh, so we’re flirting now? he wondered. Regardless, he figured that it was best to be direct about what could be a problem before they set out on this time-sensitive journey.

“I was referring to you, and I, and our unresolved sexual tension sharing this small ship for a week on a non-stop trip through deep space. I don’t think we’re going to have a problem conducting the mission once we actually get there. I don’t know if this is going to be a problem before we get there. Hence the question, before we take off.”

— Johann Dvorak, CO Korolev

She should have expected straight forwardness. Johann had a penchant for getting to the point when needed. Sienna had to admit that once the dam had been opened to the idea of something more with a man she cared about, respected, and had a deep connection with, it was hard not to feel something for him. Her heart sped up more and she couldn’t truly keep him from knowing if he paid attention. She nodded once. “I see. I am glad that is clear. We are adults Johann, not teenagers with the inability to control our hormones. I can’t say this will be easy to ignore in such close confines. I couldn’t get access to a bigger ship. What do you want to do to address the sexual tension issue?”

Nox, CNS

Johann tried to stop himself from smirking a little as he spoke, but couldn’t quite manage to do that. He could tell she was interested, and the absurdity of everything that had led to this moment was something he couldn’t help but be amused by.

“I was, uh, actually going to ask you that question. Since, um, well… correct me if I’m wrong, but, I get the sense that you’re probably a little less comfortable with the whole… uhhh… well, let’s call it, the concept… of… you know. Given that it’s the unknown to you. I just want to help in any way that I can.”

She could stop this flirtation. She could.

Sienna tried to tell herself that, but contemplating thus very thing for years was enough to make her unable to leave well enough alone. This Sierra didn’t have years of psychology nagging her mind and reminding her how complicated things could truly get. She did have mental fortitude though so she was alright until…

His voice dropped to a whisper, and his implants locked onto her pupils.

“I know things.”

– Johann Dvorak, CO Korolev

This slightly impulsive Sienna locked eyes with him as the words assaulted her senses in all the best ways. This wasn’t a good idea but she didn’t much care at the moment. She lifted her shoulder from the wall and stepped toward him. “Do you now?”

Things you haven’t learned yet, he thought at her.

She stepped closer, her face inches from his, eyes drifting to his lips. She grinned as her eyes met his once more. “What kind of person would I be if I rejected an offer of help?”

Nox, CNS

“Responsible,” he said simply, his implants darting from her eyes, to her lips, back to her eyes. Then to her uniform collar. “Self-sufficient. Strong. Good captain material. Just add stiff-upper-lip and good posture.”

Flattery will get you everywhere she thought to him with a half grin.

He used that as an opportunity to place his arms on her shoulders, and slide them downwards, as if to emphasize standing upright. As he did so he pulled her even closer to him, so that it wasn’t just her face that was mere inches away.

“We don’t need to,” he said, looking at her lips. “Be all of those things, all of the time.”

– Johann Dvorak, CO Korolev

It was easy to agree. She wanted to forget the frustration of the last few years and just go with this thing between them. They were in a semi private and dark hallway. His hands were warm on her skin and cause tingles to ride up to the nape of her neck. The heat from the closeness of his body followed closely thereafter.

She sighed and lifted her hands to his shirt. “No. We don’t.” Then her fingers closed on the fabric and held on as her lips met his. She sank into him, accepting what he offered and answering the question that had been on her mind for years, what would it feel like to kiss Johann Dvorak? One word, heaven.
