Chapter 5
Nell and Virginie were
sitting on their towels in their bikinis when Harm arrived with his
shipmates. They were talking and laughing and Harm thought Nell had a
happy nature, despite the harshness of her life.
Swan whistled softly.
« Nice ink ! »
Nell turned back and
smiled to him. « Thanks ! I like yours too. I get why you
got your callsign. » On his right pectoral, he had a beautiful
rendering of a pelican nourishing his young from its flesh, that
unfortunatly looked a bit like a swan.
« It's not a
swan ! »
« I know. I did a
bit of heraldry. It's the symbol for paternal love. »
Swan was taken aback,
as were the others. « You know that ? »
« I know a lot of
things about a lot of things. »
Mace sat down at
Virginie's side, while Loki tried to cham Nell. The three others
dropped their gear and ran to the water.
« So... what else
do you know ? » He was clearly in flirting mode, and Harm
wasn't having it.
He pulled Nell's hand
to get her up and lead her to the sea. When they were waist deep, he
pushed her slightly, making her loose her footing and sink with a
shriek. He dived after her and they emerged with a laugh.
The five men and the
two women spent a long time playing in the waves. When hunger became
too much, they went to the little restaurant in the corner. The
afternoon was spent much as the morning had been, between water games
and rests on the sand. The mood was light, the atmosphere pleasant.
When the sun started to
descend on the sea, they went back to the beach. Harm sat down on a
towel, and Nell settled between his legs, her head resting on his
chest. It was the first time they had displayed any kind of intimacy
since the morning, but time was running short, and Nell wanted to
enjoy their last hours together. They talked about what they wanted
to do that evening, and settled for dinner and beer at an Irish pub
situated half-way between them and their accomodations. Virginie and
the Americans took cabs to go back to the city, while Harm and Nell
stayed behind.
Alone at last, still
sitting together, they watched the sea for a moment. They sun
wouldn't set for a long time, and they couldn't stay until it did,
but they could relax and savor the moment. Harm put a kiss on Nell's
temple and murmured a few words in her ear. That brought a large
smile on her face and she looked bewitchingly at Harm. They grabbed
their belongings and walked quickly to the hotel.
*****
As soon as they enter
the room they went at each other.
Harm pushed her against
the wall and put his hands under her dress. Her skin was warm under
his fingers. They kissed passionately. With her arms around his neck
and her lips on his, she raised her leg and wrapped it around his
thigh. Harm lifted her up and rubbed his hardened cock against her.
She made throaty moans that excited him.
Still carrying her, he
went further into the room and they fell onto the bed, with Nell on
top. She opened his shirt and dropped kisses on every bit of exposed
skin. Once she reached his belt, she pulled the shirt from his pants
and licked his skin. He shivered under her touch.
She sat up on his
thighs and opened his fly. He was hard already, and became harder
under her touch. She moved back a little and bent over. Harm groaned
when she took him into her mouth. She worked him gently at first,
licking and kissing, then harder and faster, nipping and biting. It
was taking Harm all his strength not to explode here and there. He
grabbed her hair and pulled her head towards his. He then proceeded
to ravish her mouth.
But there were too many
clothes between them. She tore herself from the kiss and got up.
While she was standing, she looked straight in Harm's eyes and
stripped seductively. He was lying on his back, motionless,
captivated. He remembered he had still clothes on and took them off
quickly without taking his eyes off her. He sat back on the bed,
waiting for her.
When she finished, she
picked up a packet from the nightstand. She straddled him again and
opened the casing. Harm took the condom and put it on himself. Then
he took a hold of Nell's hips and brought her down with a sigh. She
pushed him on his back and put her hands on each side of his head.
They started moving in rythm, eyes locked, mouths a breath from each
other.
Harm fastened his arms
around her and rolled over until she was lying under him. He moved
slower, and she started coming. Her orgasm ripped through her and she
cried softly. Harm took her lips in a fierce kiss and pushed in her
once, twice and came in turn. Unable to move, he stayed on top of
her.
« I'm too heavy,
sorry ».
« No, it's okay,
don't move. »
Nell strocked gently
his back and he felt himself drifting. After a moment, he rose and
went to the bathroom to wash up. Nell stretched out lazily and
yawned.

The sky was greying in
the west when Harm woke up the following morning. He turned to go
back to sleep, but felt an empty space beside him. At the same
moment, he caught a movement near the door. Nell was facing away from
him, practicing her kata in her pyjamas. She was very focused, every
movement very precise, her breathing even.
He just laid there,
watching her. He was fascinated by the way she moved, she had to have
practiced the kata a thousand times or more.
« Hello Harm. »
She surprised him by
greeting him without looking at him, and without skipping a beat.
« Hey. How did
you know I was awake ? »
An inspiration. « Your
breathing changed. » A kick. An expiration. « Did I wake
you ? »
« The bed is
cold. »
« Sorry. I'm
almost finished. »
A few more movements, a
final bow, and Nell turned to Harm with a smile. « Let's warm
up this bed. » She knelt on the bed and advanced towards Harm.
He put his hand out to her, hooked it behind her head and put his
lips on hers. Nell melted against him, snuggling in his arms.
« We haven't
emptied the box. »
Nell smiled. « We
can keep the rest for next time. Naples is not very far from France
and I don't have a deployment scheduled yet. »
Harm grazed her mouth
with his. « I'd like that. » He rolled over her and
proceeded to make love to her one last time.
A few hours later, they
left the hotel, both dressed in their uniforms. They didn't smile.
Inside the cab, Nell put her head on Harm's shoulder, she looked a
bit sad. Harm inclined his head and took her lips. They shared a long
and tender kiss that the driver had to interrupt when they arrived at
the airport. Time was up.
Harm exited the cab,
closed the door and Nell scooted over. She leaned through the open
window for one last look at her lover. Harm smiled warmly at her. It
took her a second or two, but she ended up smiling as well. She was a
little blue to break up like that, but they would get in touch. Harm
bent and they kissed one last time.
« So long,
Sailor ! »
« Bye, Dragon ! »
And as the taxi took
Nell to her destination, Harm watched her go with a pensive air,
wondering what the future would bring them.
