( moans filter softly into the air as he resumes, a squeeze of his hand and una tilts her head slightly on her pillow to better look at him )
I really missed you.
( not just because of the sex but him, the comfort she feels around him, the love. he is home to her even more than this place is. and whenever he returns she's happiest, at home. nothing could go wrong when they're together )
[Pike can be so poetic. Even though he still goes away on Fleet business, he realized that the reason he never minded before was because Una was there. Getting to the ship meant he got to see her.
Now she's missing and he's not as happy there as he once was. It was one of the reasons he insisted on being home in the evenings.]
( one hand squeezes his, the other rests on his cheek, fingers gentle stroking. and there's so much love in her expression as she looks at him.
her leg slides slightly, lifting a little and their angle shifts, cock hitting a spot that makes her want to melt into the pillows, higher pitched moan slipping from her )
[Pike loves that moan, it always means he's doing something very right. He can't take his eyes off of hers and he hopes she can see just as much love ib his face.]
There are-- ( she pauses, breaths getting heavier as he works her, eyes closing for a moment, hands squeezing his. she'll never get tired of this, of how he feels, of how being with him feels. and maybe missing him adds something to it even if she'll always wish that every night he was in their bed with her )
[Someday, when he's ready for it, he assumes he'll get that desk job. He can be home every night and enjoy an almost normal life, barring intergalactic crisis of course.]
( it was hard enough getting those two of the list out, words caught by moans, and that third will have to wait. her hands grip his tighter, head pressed into her pillow as she comes again, moans filling the space around them )
( and she would be brutally honest about where they could go. they already took starfleet itself from her, she'll say her mind about anything else now. now that it won't get her court martialled )
Though they're not usually that stupid.
( they've only ever pulled him away when it's been a true emergency )
I can't hate them, not when joining Starfleet had been my dream.
( not when she'd jump at the chance to do something with them again. it may sting, it may hurt, she may disagree with many things but she still wants to be in starfleet )
I always think they're fools when they don't listen to me.
[That would be one of the first things he'd at least try to change. Genetic modification wasn't always a bad thing. He knows some of the history, of course, but mistakes made centuries ago should at least have a chance not to impact polices forever.]
( she'd thought at first about camping out tomorrow but if there was somewhere he didn't mind leaving the horses overnight it could work. or they could stargaze on his roof. they'd done that before )
( which he knew, he'd been there with her each moment. she hadn't been spooked by them but after never seeing a horse before coming to his ranch it had been an experience.
but the horses had been gentle with her, careful about her caution, as gently encouraging as he'd been. it had taken a long while before she'd ridden one but they'd been ready then.
maybe they did know, maybe they'd also known how much she'd loved him )
[There's a fondness there, that she actually took all that time to learn something that he loved even if it was something new and a little scary at first. It meant a lot to him.]
They might, I certainly talked to them enough. Might've even mentioned you a few times over the years.
( she might have heard him in the barn a couple of times as she'd been passing, always keeping quiet to not disturb him. it was sweet and she liked hearing the little whispers )

What's number three?
no subject
Stargazing.
( if they planned it well they could take a little camp out, find a good spot, spend the night under the stars.
she turns over to move back to him, resting her head on her arms on his chest, fingers ghosting over muscles )
Just us and the world.
no subject
That sounds like an excellent plan. I'm leaving the communicator here. If they want me they have to try to find me.

I like how you qualified that. [There are lots of times when they are that stupid.]
If they ever make me an Admiral there's so much I want to change.
[There really was no good time to bring up that he was offered captain of the flagship.]

I might be biased... but you are usually right.
( she might definitely be biased but he'd helped give her a life again, a much better life than she could ever have imagined )
But-- ( onr hand reaches up, finger pressing to his lips ) No more Starfleet. I still have a weekend.
no subject
I promise, I'll try to stop thinking about it.
[Try is the best he could do. But he's starting now.]
Think we'll have time to take the horses out this weekend?
no subject
( she'd thought at first about camping out tomorrow but if there was somewhere he didn't mind leaving the horses overnight it could work. or they could stargaze on his roof. they'd done that before )
no subject
They could, but that sounds like changing your already good plan for the weekend. I could always go out on Sunday.
no subject
( and whilst she did take the horses out sometimes it was never the same as when he did or they both did. he had a connection with them she wouldn't )
no subject
[It hadn't been that way with the very few other women he introduced them to. Reflecting back on it? He should have listened to the horses.]
They must know I love you.
no subject

They know you well. Probably better than I do.

You still do.
( she might have heard him in the barn a couple of times as she'd been passing, always keeping quiet to not disturb him. it was sweet and she liked hearing the little whispers )
no subject
[He is just a little embarrassed that she'd heard, not that he was going to change anything.]
