�Aeryn we have three days�so why don�t we get to our room and eat something. Then we can sit down and find out everything we need,� Crichton said.
�OK�the inn is this way,� Aeryn said smiling at him.
She would never admit to anyone how she enjoyed this small show of affection. She had to act the way she thought she needed to and showing Crichton her real feeling wasn�t apart of that. But the truth was she was glad that she and Crichton were here alone for a while. They rarely had any chances to be by them selves and just talk to each other. She knew that talking seemed to do more good than worse most of the time. At first she hated that Crichton made her talk about what she was feeling. But it seemed to help, especially with thing like the flax, false earth, her losing Talyn to Crais, and Velorek. They were lead up to their room which was pretty good size but cold for a human.
�I see their AC works,� Crichton said.
�AC,� Aeryn questioned.
�Air Conditioning�a machine that produced cold air during Earth hot season,� Crichton said.
He knew she didn�t know what he really was talking about so he began to look around. He knew that to him it was a little chilly in the room, but to Aeryn it was perfect. He had gotten used to being cold, but the planet was a little more warmer then Moya, but still cool enough for sebaceans.
�Cold,� Aeryn said.
�A little,� Crichton said.
�It should warm up some now that the room is occupied. Well it getting late�we should eat and get some sleep. You can take the bed since you need to be warmer than me, � Aeryn said.
�We can both sleep in the bed�it big enough,� Crichton said.
�No Crichton�� Aeryn started to say.
�Aeryn the bed is about a king size, a queen size, and a twin size bed in one I think we can share,� Crichton said.
�A what in what,� Aeryn said confused.
�It means it�s a really big bed,� Crichton said.
�Fine�but you better stay on your side,� Aeryn said.
�I will scouts honor,� Crichton said smiling.
They ate their food in silence and began getting ready for bed in the same way. This is when Crichton took a real good look at the room. It had a big wooden dresser, along with a long mirror in the corner, one bathroom that had a large bathtub, with a large table and two chairs, and the walk in closet was next to the dresser. Aeryn walked out in a pair of purple pajama. The material was a soft and silky against her skin it was like nothing she�d worn before. The shirt had long sleeves and was button up and the bottoms were pants. Crichton pajamas were simple since all he usually wore to bed was his boxers and tang top. He had forgotten his shirt so he on his white boxers and prayed it did warm up in here. Aeryn was just finishing combing her hair when he came out and climbed in the bed.
�For someone who is cold you don�t ware a lot,� Aeryn said smiling.
�We have blankets�thankfully,� Crichton said.
�Goodnight�dear,� Aeryn said smiling and climbing into bed.
�Night sweetheart,� Crichton said kissing her cheek.
The night went by and neither one could sleep with the other next to them. Aeryn had moved closer to him than he thought she would have been. He didn�t mind it just kept him warmer, even though he was now getting a little hot. After almost three arns of just laying there Crichton decided to confront his feeling for her. He was only about half of an inch away from her it would be that much of a move. He kicked the blankets off of them. He quickly rolled on top of her and to his surprise and delight she was wide awake. He had put both of his legs to her side and his hands were close to her ears and she had met his gaze. She loved looking in to his ice blue eyes she sometimes thought it was like looking into his soul. And for a few microts neither moved or said one word. She put her hand on his face and ran it through his short light brown hair. Her blue-gray eyes met his and he saw the change in her eyes.
�You promised you�d stay on you side,� Aeryn said smiling.
He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. The kiss deepened as she put her arms around his neck and pulled him down. He parted his lips and she entered his mouth and she began to explore his mouth. He broke the kiss and let his hand go to the waistband of her pants.
�I lied,� he said kissing her again.
He began to slowly unbutton her shirt giving her time to tell him to stop, but she never did. He lightly touched her sides and it felt like he was not touching her at all. She kissed him once again letting his tongue part her lips and letting him enter her mouth. They just let their passion, desire, and need for each other take over them. At that point they didn�t care about what was to come only what was happening. They had made a rhythm of their own, not ever wanting to stop but having to give in. He laid on top of her until his breathing started going back to normal. He then rolled off her not knowing what to say or do while she just lied not knowing either. If she was a peacekeeper she would of got dress and left for her quarters, but she couldn�t. She wasn�t a peacekeeper and this is where she would be sleeping for the next few days. After almost five minutes Crichton was the first to say anything.
�Aeryn�� Crichton said.
�Hmmm,� Aeryn said.
�You OK,� Crichton asked.
�Yea�you,� Aeryn said.
�Yea�that was�amazing,� Crichton said.
�That don�t even start to describe it,� Aeryn said moving so her head was on top of his chest.
He kissed her forehead and pulled the blanket over them. As he started to close his eyes Aeryn got up and put on her pajamas and underwear. She threw him his boxers and underwear after she finished pulling up her pants. He caught them and began to put them on as she button up her shirt.
�Aeryn why are we getting dress,� Crichton said putting on his boxer.
�We don�t know who will show up or when someone will show up,� Aeryn said climbing back on the bed.
�Come here,� Crichton said putting out his arms.
She went to him with a smile on her face and she kissed him once again. She went down with him as he leaned her down on the bed. It started out as a soft and gentle kiss, but turned passionate as he pulled her closer. She broke the kiss and looked him the eyes.
�A girl could get used to this,� Aeryn said.
�I hope so,� Crichton said.
�John what wrong�you have that I�m here but I�m not look,� Aeryn said.
�Aeryn�you aren�t going to act as if this didn�t happen are you,� Crichton asked.
�No�I could of stopped it�but I didn�t,� Aeryn said laying her head back on his chest.
�Why didn�t you�why chose now to let me in,� Crichton said.
�Because John Crichton�I love you,� Aeryn said.
�I love you too,� Crichton said smiling letting sleep claim them.
It was the third day and Crichton was up and getting there stuff ready to go. Aeryn was still asleep in the bed and he didn�t want to wake her. One thing he loved doing was watching her sleep. On Moya when he couldn�t sleep he walk around and he always would spend a few microts watching her. She always looked so vulnerable and content asleep with all her peacekeeper walls down. The supplies were ready and they only had four arns before they were allowed to leave the planet
�Crichton,� Aeryn said.
�God afternoon, Sunshine,� Crichton said.
�What time is it,� Aeryn asked.
�Almost mid day,� Crichton said.
�I slept in,� Aeryn said sitting up.
�We have about 4 arns before we have to leave,� Crichton said.
�Come back to bed then,� she said.
�I�m not tired,� Crichton said.
�Who said I was,� she said smiling at him.
�What you want to exercise some more,� Crichton said.
�Yes,� Aeryn said pulling him back on the bed.
�You know we should start getting ready to leave�D�argo and Zhaan have permission to met us down here,� Crichton said.
�We have four arns before we�re allowed to leave�so I think we have plenty of time and besides they�re meeting us at my prowler,� Aeryn said kissing him full on the mouth.
�Hmmm, you know I think you�re right�but,� Crichton said between kisses.
�John Crichton Shut up,� Aeryn said deepen their kiss.
Almost 3 � arns later Aeryn walked into the balcony where Crichton stood in his white boxers looking out at the planet. She wore one of his shirts and walked behind him and put her arms around his waist. She had no idea what he was looking at but she knew he was thinking about some thing.
�We need to get going,� Crichton said.
�I know�it just I�ll miss this,� Aeryn said.
�I�m not going anywhere,� Crichton said.
�Not now, but some day,� Aeryn said.
�No, I can�t stay on Earth I wouldn�t fit in�I would be too Alien,� Crichton said.
�But that your home,� Aeryn said.
�No�not anymore,� Crichton said.
�Then where is your home,� Aeryn said.
�On Moya�with you,� Crichton said.
�That�s good,� Aeryn said as he turned to face her, she kissed him hard and passionate.
�Would you like us to come back� Zhaan said as they broke apart.
�No we were just�� Aeryn said looking at Crichton.
�Getting into Character,� Crichton said smiling.
�We�ll wait out side for you two,� D�argo said.
�Ok, we�ll see you in a few microts,� Crichton said.
�Getting into Character,� Aeryn said.
�Yes,� Crichton said kissing again.
�Well can we get into character later,� Aeryn said.
�Anytime babe�anytime,� Crichton said.
