"I know. When I said sleepover, I mean sleep. It's been a long, exhausting couple of days, and right now I could barely raise a smile let alone anything else. And I'd love your company." He drew closer. "But if you think it might be too hard for you-"
"I can't believe you said that." But she regarded him some more before nodding. "Okay. But I'm warning you, Captain, the first sign of any rise of interest from below the belt and..."
They didn't make an effort to display themselves to each as they undressed; neither did they turn their backs or offer any human-type coyness.

She chuckled. "Sorry. It has a mind of its own."
"That's usually my excuse."
Kami's breath slowed. "Are you okay, Esek?"
He didn't respond immediately. "Sasha and Giles and the others were almost killed, doing what should have been an ordinary, boring task.

She shifted in place, looking over her shoulder at him in the dark. "When did you ever know?"
He grunted. "You got me there."
Kami settled down again. "You and I will work all this out together - later. For now, put an arm around me."
He complied. She reached up and started stroking his palm.
"What are you doing?"
"Seeing if this will make you purr and rub up against me."
"No, but I've got something else you can stroke."
She stopped stroking, and tightened his hold on her. "Good night, Fat Cat."
He sighed, contented. "Good night, Lil' Kitten..."
THE ADVENTURES OF THE SUREFOOT WILL CONTINUE IN... GREY MATTERS

Well written, as if it came from the writers lab at Star Trek.
Anyone who likes a good story, regardless of the category should read this.
