Alicia and Lee had worked their way from the gym to the locker room. She had her hand buried in the hair at the back of his head. She passionately kissed him, making eye contact, knowing that in that moment she would never love anyone else.
Lee smiled and broke the kiss, pulling her damp T-shirt off. He kissed her on the tip of the nose, and felt her hands caressing his chest. He'd lost his tank top somewhere in the gym. He slid her sports bra free and let it drop to the deck. He then bent over and kissed her, which caused her to nervously laugh.
"Lee . . ." She lifted his chin with a gentle finger and kissed him long and hard until he was breathless and pulled away. He rested his forehead on her shoulder and ran his finger lightly down her spine. She moved in a step and started working him out of the rest of his clothing. He wanted her desperately, they'd only been here a short time and were settling in well, but there were times when he'd woken her from a nightmare or knew that she was having trouble adjusting to the new time and their home...
She trailed kisses down his body as he leaned both hands out holding himself up, using the wall in a vertical pushup. "Ah," he groaned. She glanced up and then slowly worked her way back up. She leaned against the wall, his hands on either side of her head and smiled as she worked herself out of her remaining clothes. He moved in and kissed her lightly once, twice, three times before stepping into her and dropping his arms to rest on her hips.
He back stepped pulling her with him until he reached the enclosed shower. She stood, quietly watching as he turned on the showers and adjusted the temperature, pulling her in. With the water sluicing off both their bodies they took each other passionately . . . wanting it to last forever.
An hour later the water had started going cold and neither Alicia or Lee noticed that thin tendrils of vapor where being issued from the environmental system. The water cut off and both sat on the floor of the shower cradling the other and started laughing. Finally, pulling themselves to their feet they moved back into the locker room, dried and dressed. Walking, his arms around her back to their quarters where they fell together on a bed in an exhausted heap.
