<USS Avalon> "Waking Up"

Waking Up
By Lieutenant Second Class Elissabeth Marksbury and 
Junior Lieutenant James Monroe
 
It was so warm and comfortable.  James looked down at Lissi's head snuggled 
against his chest, her soft hair cascading over his arm.  The faintest of 
smiles tugged at the corner of her mouth and he sighed with contentment, 
closing his eyes again.
 
Lissi sensed the change in his breathing and automatically shifted as not to 
place so much weight on his chest.
 
"Where you going?" he whispered and pulled her closer, effectively waking her 
up.  She smiled a sleepy smile and looked up.
 
"G'mornin'."  
 
"'Mornin', Liss."  He kissed the top of her head and rubbed her arm.  "How do 
you feel?"
 
"How do I feel?" she giggled quietly, being intentionally obtuse.  "Am I 
supposed to feel differently?"
 
"C'mon, Liss, gimme a break," he laughed.  "I'm not good at this whole morning 
after talking thing."

 
"Oh, and I am?" she raised her brows in question with a smirk.
 
"Okay, okay, I guess I meant to ask...to make sure that I didn't hurt you or 
anything."
 
"No, James, you didn't hurt me."  She reached up to stroke her thumb over his 
lips, remembering the way he tasted, the exhilarating way everything felt.  So 
many sensations in so many places...
 
"Then, did you enjoy it?"
 
"Emotionally or physically?"
 
"Oh, now you're just teasing me," he rolled over, pinning her to the mattress.  
He looked down into her face, her pretty green eyes, sparkling with mischief, 
and kissed her sweetly.  "Okay, if you wanna play...both."
 
Sobering, she stared into his eyes and told him, "Emotionally, I was here," she 
motioned between their sets of eyes with two of her fingers. "And here," she 
placed one palm over his heart and then over hers.
 
James closed his eyes slowly as if relieved to hear her words.  
"And...physically?"
 
"It was...enjoyable, but a little awkward for me.  Wasn't, you know, sure if I 
was putting everything where it went and all." This time she looked away as a 
slight color tinged her cheeks.
 
"It gets better.  It just takes practice to learn what each other likes best," 
he said, kissing the side of her neck feathery light right below her ear, 
making Lissi suck in a breath of air.  "Like that.  Picked that one up pretty 
quick."  He grinned deviously at her and she laughed.
 
"Cruel, cruel, teasing man," she breathed.
 
"Who said I was teasing?"  He kissed her deeply and any plans outside of that 
bed either of them had for the morning were completely lost.
