(Closed) Picking up from Eudio Chinese New Year

[derek_morgan]

WHO: Inara. And a possible special guest appearance by Bo
WHERE: Inara's place
WARNINGS: It's Derek & Inara plus Bo??? Yeah, NSFW like whoa
SUMMARY: Picking up from here

"Something like that," he chuckled in response to her question. Derek hadn't uttered a word when she had thanked him. His carry was tender and hadn't stopped caring carefully for her even as he laid her body on the bed. Derek finished drying her off before covering her in the linens. "She can make you feel better with a simple kiss. I'm gonna reach out and see if she can come over now. Maybe she can do it while you're sleeping."

Hopefully Inara was still drunk enough not to question what he shared or how he found it acceptable for a strange woman to come over while she was laying naked in bed. There was the matter of explaining to Bo that he was off the market. She wouldn't leave empty handed. He'd give her a hug in thanks, free tab for a month at Elysium and exclusive access to one of the VIP lounges in the club where she could engage in sex under better cover than when they used to hook up.

First things first, he wanted to make sure his girlfriend was settled before leaving her side. He stared longingly at her. Lovingly. She drove him crazy in every way possible. His anger had spiked with the idea that someone else meant more to her than him. She meant so much to him.

Now that had Inara laughing a bit and she rolled over onto her side and reached for his hand. The idea that someone could make her feel better with only a kiss wasn't really computing with her brain, at least not in the way it should have. Inara's mind was hardly staying in a proper place, less so with a lot of what Derek was saying. "I didn't know you were interested in situations like that."

She tugged him down towards her as she pushed herself up on her elbow. She should have just allowed herself to pass out but her mind was totally focused on the idea of a woman making her feel better with a kiss and Derek being the one who had brought that subject up. "Do you think that's a good idea?"

[derek_morgan]

His brow knit together and head cantered, lost as to what she meant. A hesitant smile clung to his lips. "Situations like what?" he asked through the confused grin. At least she was happy. Throwing up must have gotten rid of the excess in her system and kept her with a buzz that seemingly made everything funny to her at the moment.

He fell onto the bed with her tug. "I think it's a good idea to make sure you don't feel sick. You made me feel good when I drank too much. I wanna do the same for you, Baby." Derek took her shoulders between his hands and guided Inara to lay back again. Her breasts were exposed and he couldn't help glance before covering her up again. She would probably just sit up again. He seemed to have his hands full.

She had already forgotten which situation they had been talking about and so she just shrugged her shoulders. Besides, it obviously hadn't been overly important if she couldn't remember it, and there were things to concentrate on. Like how she was naked and he still had all his clothes on.

She did remain laying down when he had urged her back, though her fingers had hooked under the hem of his shirt. "You do make me feel better and I can think of a way for you to help me out now...."

[derek_morgan]

Still cute, even while utterly confusing. His brown eyes watched her intricately while doing his best to dry her hair that had gotten wet. Inara caught him off guard as she slipped her fingers under his t-shirt.

"Yeah? How's that?" he asked through a smirk. At the rate she was going, Derek didn't expect her to remember again. He worked carefully not to pull any of her strands as he removed the towel completely. His eyes glanced to his cell phone but gave Inara a moment to finish her thought, if she was able.

She closed her eyes, enjoying the how gentle he was being with drying her hair. He didn't need to but the fact that he was going out of his way to make sure she was completely dry, well, that was sweet. She smiled and burrowed down a little under the blanket.

"Hmm?" she murmured, already having forgotten that she had been attempting to seduce him. She opened her eyes and looked up at him, and shifted her hands from under the hem of his shirt so she could reach for his hands. "Have I told you that I love you and that I would do anything for you?"

[derek_morgan]

At least she had ceased to get sick. He was glad the tea seemed to be working. Derek didn't take anything she said or did seriously. She wasn't herself. "You might've said something like that since you drank all that liquor," he gently teased while moving out of her hands to tuck her in properly. "Get some rest. I'm gonna clean up while you sleep."

That L word... It was nice hearing it come from her lips yet carried a lot of weight that neither of them needed. What they had wasn't permanent. There wasn't a future for them. He couldn't allow himself to believe Inara meant what she was saying. Love as in caring for one another, that was as far as he would give weight to her words. He flung the towel she used over a shoulder. "I'll still be here when you wake up."

[companioning]

She might have still been drunk but that didn't mean she didn't mean what she was saying. Oh, she'd regret saying anything like it in the morning because she knew that those types of feelings wouldn't do either of them any good. But truly, she couldn't help how she felt and how she felt for Derek was more than anything she'd ever felt for anyone before.

"You're not going to fall asleep with me?" she murmured as she burrowed a little further under her blankets. "I sleep better when you're beside me, you make me feel safe." But already her eyes were closing and she yawned, feeling the pull of sleep tugging her under.

[derek_morgan]

"I'll stay until you fall asleep. Then I'll clean up and have something to eat. Hopefully something--" Or someone. "--to make you feel better when you wake up," he said while sliding into the bed next to her. His arms slipped easily around her though his body was above the covers.

Her head lost the pillow for his bicep, Derek stealing the pillow to cradle Inara in his arms comfortably. She fit perfectly. If he wasn't careful, he'd join her in a nap. She was as much a comfort to him as she mentioned he was to her. He gave her a quick kiss then let his head rest naturally.
