The lights were on low in the large suite of rooms. Just enough to see <strong>by</strong>, since it was a cloudy<br />
night outside, and there was no moonlight. Two figures lay curled up together on the king sized<br />
bed that adorned the master bedroom. A trail of clothes led to it, starting at the front door,<br />
passing through the living room, past the fireplace, straying near the bathroom with it's Jacuzzi<br />
tub, and then to the foot of the bed.<br />
The scent of lovemaking was heavy in the air, and the quilt from the bed had been tossed to the<br />
floor sometime during the past few hours. The two woman had a single thin sheet drawn up over<br />
them, but they were still warm, from earlier, and shared body heat.<br />
It was quiet in the bedroom, unlike earlier, as the two rested together. Taking comfort in holding<br />
the other close, and easily offering comfort to one another with frequent caresses and embraces.<br />
The smaller of the two woman, the redhead stretched, luxuriating in the feel of the cool sheets<br />
and the warm body she was pressed up against. A low chuckle caused her to turn and nip at<br />
exposed skin, smiling.<br />
"What are you sounding so pleased with?"<br />
The taller woman's voice was just as husky as her smaller companion's when she spoke, and just<br />
as happy.<br />
"I'm feeling well loved."<br />
The red head curled up closer, laying her head on the black haired woman's chest, one leg thrown<br />
over her companions.<br />
"You should be, we've been at it for…"<br />
Emily smiled, pressing a kiss to fine red hairs, a brief brush with the link to her ship self gave her<br />
the time and her smile widened.<br />
"All night, dawn's just a few hours away."<br />
Julie smiled in pure joy and tried to burrow closer.<br />
"Good, I've missed this."<br />
Long arms tightened about her and she heard the chuckle resound through the First Guardian's<br />
chest where her ear was pressed.<br />
"So have I love."<br />
It had been two months since the Bak'ra had been defeated.<br />
Two months of mourning for the hundreds of thousands who had died to protect the planet and<br />
the human race. Two months of beginning to rebuild, and sorting out the mess on Mars.
