A/N: As always my deepest gratitude to my beta
lostwolfchats Who continues to hang in there with me as my awesome beta!
"Then I guess we should use the time wisely,"
is her reply and I smile as she snuggles closer, running her inner thigh across the top of my leg. I know what she is thinking, but in spite of the temptation, I know she needs to rest at least for part of time to ensure that she gets the maximum benefit from her exposure.
"Tempting my dear, but for now rest." I watch an adorable pout form, but I know she understands the need.
"I don't know if I can sleep now." At her distressed look as she nibbles her bottom lip, inspiration strikes.
"I think maybe I can help with that," I tell her and give her my most cheerful grin.
She looks up with mischievous suspicion, "I thought you said sleep first?"
Deliberately ignoring her innuendo I reply, "I said rest. Now scoot over you.” I slide out from under her, leaving her on her side, and I encourage her to lie on her tummy.
As I move to go into the other room to get what I am thinking about, she protests, "Oi, where you think you're going?"
'Be right back,' I project to her, and feel the shiver of pleasure the brief contact creates even as I see the surprise on her face, before ducking into the ensuite to grab what I need. It is but a moment before I find the small blue tube no bigger than my hand for which I am looking and return to my Wolf.
"What..." is all she manages before I put a finger gently over her lips, silencing her.
"You'll see." With that, I again encourage her to lie back on her stomach. Even though I can feel her curiosity, she says nothing more. Her curiosity only increases as I pull the covers back, leaving her body exposed to me. I can almost feel her watching me in anticipation, she is concentrating so intently. When I pick up the tube her expression turns from curious to puzzled and I deliberately wait until I get back on the bed and am kneeling next to her before opening the container. I grin as a smile bursts onto her face at the smell of its contents and she promptly settles down for a thorough papering.
With that, I squeeze out a small quantity of the fragrant oil into my hand and quickly coat my palms and straddle her legs just below her bum so as not to put too much of my weight on her. For a moment, I marvel at her graceful body stretched out beneath me, and wonder at the chain of events that have led us here. My reverie is broken as she squirms between my thighs and she looks back over her shoulder saying, "Doctor?"
"'s okay," I whisper back to her as I lean in and kiss her cheek. "Relax."
With that, I begin at her shoulders and gently, but firmly run my hands down her spine. Her shiver and moan of pleasure in response make me realize how hard this is going to be for me. Her moan sends a bolt of desire through me and reminds me that her body is not the only one that is hypersensitive right now.
Her body is so supple and silky beneath my fingers as I gently massage her back. I close my eyes and almost groan aloud myself, remembering when and why I had purchased this particular massage oil as the scent wraps around my senses making me even more aroused. I had purchased it shortly after Rose and I become lovers, and I had smelled it on her after she had spent the day in the spa. The scent reminded me of one of my favorite Gallifreyan flowers, the Temalgan flower, the smell of it on Rose when I hadn't expected it led to a rather exuberant session of lovemaking.
'You're not helping me to relax thinking about that, you know,' comes my Wolf's lust filled and amused thought.
I am suddenly jerked back to the present at the realization that I have been not only mentally wandering but have not been shielding my thoughts from her as well.
"I... er, yes, sorry." I take deep breath to clear my head, which doesn't help much at her next statement.
"You sure you don't want me to help you with that hard on you have nudging my arse?" I become aware of exactly how aroused touching her has made me, and lean back putting space between us.
"I... No, Fine, I've got it in hand." I am annoyed as my voice betrays me and my words come out an octave too high and I regret my choice of words as I feel her smirk.
As she looks back at me over her shoulder asking, "Really?" with a smoldering cheeky glance, the thought crosses my mind that maybe it might be better if I did. But I immediately reject it knowing that is not an option as in her merged state there is nowhere on the ship where she wouldn't be able to watch and that would do nothing toward helping her relax.
So instead, I lean back, closing my eyes and concentrating on reducing the blood flow to my willful extremity. As I regain control, I restate “Wolf you need to rest," my words deliberate
"Yes, I know, for at least two hours and twenty three minutes and sixteen seconds." I gape at her in surprise, shocked by both her agreement and her precision.
At my expression, she asks with a cheeky smile, "What? You're not the only time sensitive around here, or have you forgotten that?"
I realize that she is right - it still hasn’t completely sunk in yet and I am still expecting to find that this is all some dream, and that I’m still completely alone. At my lack of answer, she twists further into what I am sure is an uncomfortable position to look at me more fully. So I lift myself up enough so she can finish rolling to her back, where she promptly sits up and hugs me tightly. At her comforting thought of, 'You're not alone anymore Doctor, we’re here,' all I can do in response is clutch her to me in gratitude.
"You're right though, we do need to rest. Sleep with me?" I find myself helpless to resist as she pulls me down on top of her, feeling her comfort surrounding my senses. Sleeping is not an option I wish to contemplate for me, but I know that she needs the rest so I compromise and roll us over so she is now draped over my body. Her soft sigh as she nuzzles my neck brings a lump to my throat and I gently caress her back and I feel her body relaxing as it begins to draw her back down into sleep.
For a long while, all I can do is stare at the ceiling and wonder how long until the universe, in its perversity, snatches her from me in spite of our best efforts.
