So, in the name of avoiding the drama we had last year over our anniversary, I cornered Travis for a discussion early enough that we could both start planning things out in advance once we decided which date to honor. I was careful to not make it about who was right, but about which date we should focus on, as it was pretty damn silly that he wanted to celebrate one day, and I the next.

We ended up having the conversation in the cockpit, when Blue had disappeared for one of his short bouts of sleep. It didn't take long for the two of us to agree that we really should be celebrating when he started demanding my intentions, as that seems to have been the start of anything beyond the sex. He admitted that he had been calculating from time of first sex, due to the value he places on that connection, but in light of my differing perspective on that part of our interactions, he did admit it made more sense to consider the start when he had caught my interest in more than sex.

All that talk of sex got me in the mood, so when we'd finally settled the matter to my satisfaction, I started to tease him. I actually managed to stay in control of the teasing for a good half hour before he had me stripped and pinned into the pilot's seat. At that point, he managed to keep me completely at his mercy until he'd given me easily a dozen orgasms, and it was only when he was giving me a moment to breathe that I managed to turn the tables and pin him down to return the attention.

I had just mounted him on top of the control panel when the inter-ship comm chirped to life. Over it, Blue demanded that if we weren't going to let him participate, the least we could do is not broadcast ourselves over the comm. I giggled a little as I apologized, and Travis was flushed red with embarrassment. I was pleased to note that he was getting over his stage fright, as he was still ready to go once I'd locked the comm channel so we wouldn't trigger it again.

However, it seemed we weren't fated to finish that night. As we were just getting into it good, the scanner we had running on the comm channels popped to life on one of the Orion frequencies. They'd actually managed to stay quiet until they were almost on top of us, as when we moved apart and started to prepare, they were already upon us. When Blue arrived up at the cockpit, he didn't say a word about our nakedness, and Travis didn't even seem to notice he was nude in Blue's presence. I let a small smile cross my lips as we handled the pirates, but elected not to say anything about this forward movement in Travis' comfort level with himself and Blue.

Unfortunately, when we finished with the pirates, Travis was too tired to pick back up where we'd left off. It's not like there won't be another time to make up for it though.
