speaker. It was time to fly to the planet Powar, and I jumped up to go do what I do best.
Chapter Five - Desire in The Star Light
I had a few drinks with Mac after the Star Light was in orbit around the Powar. It was truly nasty stuff which meant it was a good brew for him. Fortunately I had the foresight to eat first so I got a good buzz without getting drunk. We laughed about the assignment and I promised to let him know the funniest aspects of what I ended up doing. I knew he appreciated the humor in it, but also had no doubt that I would get it done. It was nice to get his support.
I walked down the corridors back to my cabin planning on calling it a night. Then my name came over the speakers.
“Lieutenant Jayne to see the Captain. Lieutenant Jayne to see the Captain.” The voice of his aide always sounded too high-pitched over the speakers. I changed my course and headed to the Captain’s office. I wondered what it was about and hoped I was not too buzzed. I tapped on his door and it opened. He was sitting on the couch and had a drink. I immediately felt better about my state. He gestured me to a seat as he stood.
“Do you want a drink, Loneway?” I shook my head.
“No thank you Captain. I just left Mac’s back office.” His eyebrows went up.
“New brew? Is it any good.” I nodded.
“If you don’t mind drinking engine coolant. It does work fast though.” He laughed but seemed nervous. I had a seat facing the couch with the little table between us. He sat back down, looking nervous and uncomfortable.
“I want to say I tried everything to get you out of this. I even went to the higher-ups to say you were not suitable for this assignment.” I grinned. So did he.
“They had heard it all before and were under pressure from the politicians, at least as far as I can tell. Are you going to be alright with it? Churlish just doesn’t get how anyone could not cherish such a position.”
I chuckled and shrugged.
“I'll get through it. Minor sweat only. I will let you know if I learn anything too.” He nodded and sighed. He stood again and tossed back his drink, set the glass on the desk, then walked over to the viewing pane. If I had not been drinking Mac’s brew I would have stayed where I was at. Instead I got up and followed him. We stood side by side looking out. I liked the closeness of standing next to him. I could see our reflections in the viewing pane. Both of us were in civvies.
I was wearing a knee high dress, low cut but over a shirt that was close to the throat. The dress was green and the shirt white, as were my shoes. Captain Merlock had on a pullover top and pocket pants with boots. He looked rugged and handsome as always.
“It bothers me Jayne that part of his plan involves you. I know from how he talks about it that you are part of his personal plan. His attraction to you is stronger than I thought,” he said.
“Tara told me she was thinking the same thing,” I replied. “Honestly, I am not worried about it. So what if he has the hots for me. He can get used to the idea of nothing happening. Hell, I have the hots for you and I don’t...expect...” I trailed off realizing I had my foot in my mouth to the knee. I refused to look at him after his sudden intake of breath, but I could see him looking at me in the viewing pane’s reflection. I lowered my head feeling real shame. You do not hit on your commanding officer, ever, I told myself. I felt my hair brushed away from my face and a hand on my chin. I raised my head and faced him.
His eyes, such a lovely shade of green, similar to mine actually, were full of compassion and something else.
“No shame Jayne, I have been feeling the same since before we got the Star Light . You are so beautiful, but, but you are also my pilot. I was not sure how to approach you, or if I should.”
I was stunned. Like when I was accepted to the Fleet academy, except that had not turned me on like this did.
