Saturday Morning

Saturday morning. Early? Late? Gwen didn't know. Didn't care.

No alarm clock. No phone ringing. Last night Captain Jack had said to them all, "Get some sleep. I'm tired of seeing you looking like zombies. Sleep! If there's an emergency, I'll call. I'll call when I want you. Otherwise, get lost. Sleep!"

So Gwen had gone home, and blissfully curled up under the down comforter with Rhys, and slept.

Until morning.

Then there was Rhys's hands on her body, and he was laughing, saying, "What are you doing home?"

"I can come home sometimes," she protested.

"No!"

"Yes!"

That earned her kisses. "You're not Gwen. Gwen's never here. You're an alien shapeshifter."

"I might be an alien sex fiend."

"Oh? That might be a bit of all right. I like alien sex fiends."

"Rhys Williams, this is your lucky day."

Touch and play and more laughter and a bottomless pit of need and want and yes. Heat and lips and groans and whimpers. It ended in screams, and more sleep, and then more of the same. It ended - no, it didn't end. Love was open-ended.

Miracle of miracles, Jack still hadn't rung her up for work. It was almost noon.

"You look happy," said Rhys.

"Look who's talking!" She kissed his nose. "Don't mind me, macho man. I'm just drunk on love."

Love your Rhys icon!

And thanks so much for the nice comment on my ficlet. Yeah, I love Rhys too. It probably shows. [g]

Very dear!

Thank you.

You're so cute. And never shy about enjoying sex -- whether it's someone else involved, or... well, I better shut up. Please don't be mad at me for talking too much.

About a third of the way through this, I had a smile -- knew it would end with "drunk on love." Hee.

"Yes" is a good word. Hmmm.

Yes, I enjoy writing about Gwen and Rhys, and I enjoy their enjoyment of life. And sex. And ... I didn't really want to write about Gwen being drunk, and Jack doesn't get drunk any more, and... "drunk on love" seemed just too good to resist.

Aw, I love this, and the way you do the Gwen/Rhys dynamic. Very plausible. :)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I do love that pairing. (And, well, others too...!)

Awwwww, so sweet. I love it when Gwen treats Rhys the way he deserves.

Glad you liked it - and yes, I like the good Gwen/Rhys moments too. And even the not-so-good. Such interesting characters.
