Everything came down to one simple thing"tea. It wouldn't make sense to the outside world how tea could be at the root of all things but if it can be considered in the proper light then it makes all the sense in the world. For ages tea had been given to people as a cure for many things. Hunter stared at his tea expecting great things, spiritualists were said to be able to read the dregs and tell of omens. Hunter was no spiritualist, but his encounter with one had forced him to face the knowledge that the future held many paths. Jack, he thought often on the little winged woman, usually it had to do with how much he missed her presence.
She spent more and more time away, training crews to take some of the responsibilities from her concerning these fleet refits. Other times, like now, all he could think about was the curve of thigh into buttocks or the way her hips curved into her waist. Jack had come to represent so much to him, his best friend and gaming partner. Jack was the brilliant mind that kept things running when they should have fallen long ago into disrepair. She was that spark of fire that exploded into being, firing off wrenches at those things that would not comply as they should. Her strength of will was evident to him in all she said and did. Yet even through all this to him she remained a woman always.
His heart ached to hear her voice even though she was there in front of him working on yet another project. Standing so purposefully over the desk the held holographic blueprints, he wanted more. Perhaps he was being selfish, but he didn't care. His ice blue eyes halted in their memorization of her at the place where jaw met ear. Hunter could take no more, he had driven himself into this madness by opening his mind to what he wanted most. How tempting that it was a few feet away and certainly not expecting attack.
His arms circled her middle from behind, and his lips grazed across the pale skin of her neck. "Come my darling; let me show you exactly how much I love you.? The whisper came moments before he was sweeping her up and carrying her deeper into their suite.
