As soon as David left Naxea's office, he sent a message to Baeryn stating that he would have something new to tell hee that evening. He told her to make sure she was free for dinner. He then set out to take care of all the movement and equipment changes that were required of his new rank and position.

Thankfully, he found that Man'darr had never moved back into the MXO's quarters after they were vacated, so he was able to at least get all of his possessions brought in from his small bunkroom. It wasn't that he needed a ton of space, however, he would enjoy what was allowed to him.

Operations had been running smoothly all afternoon. The crew worked so seamlessly and efficiently together Baeryn rarely had to intervene or assign tasks. Occasionally she would be sought out to approve a system diagnostic but nothing major.

She received the message from David while in conversation with a member of her team so her response was a bit delayed. When they were done speaking she quickly sent a reply. Letting David know she couldn’t wait and that she would see him soon.

When her shift ended she eagerly proceeded to her and David shared quarters.

As the door opened, Baeryn first saw David's back, as he was setting the table. He was still in his uniform as he did so. "Hey, Babe, welcome home!" He said over his shoulder as he finished up.

Baeryn smiled and she used the wall to hold herself up as she unzipped her shoes. Sliding them off she responded to her chipper lover, "Someone had a good day." She padded over and embraced him from behind.

David smiled warmly, feeling Baeryn's loving embrace. "While it certainly became profoundly better when you walked in the door, it really was a day to remember." He carefully turned in Baeryn's arms to face her, the new marine captain rank insignia clearly visible on his collar.

Baeryn smiled up at David when he faced her, oblivious at first of the new insignia. She drew herself up to kiss him but halted quickly as she noted the change to his collar. Her brows furrowed for a moment before her face transformed into one of joy. "Captain?!"

David beamed down at Baeryn as she reacted to his jump in rank. "Yeah, apparently, SFMCHQ decided that, with my extensive combat experience, back during Earth's Eugenics Wars and World War III, when I graduated my OCS training, I was to be advanced to Captain." He paused a beat, then said, "and there's more."

Baeryn blinked a couple times, "More then that?!"

He chuckled softly as he replied. "Along with my new rank, I am now the new MXO, here on the Elysium. I'll be Colonel Naxea's right hand in the unit."

She all but squealed as she wrapped her arms tighter around David, softly she asked, "So does this mean....you'll be staying here?" Her voice was openly filled with hope that they wouldn't be parted. It was rare she felt that couples got to stay together and both follow their own separate careers.

Carefully wrapping his strong arms around Baeryn a little tighter, David leaned his head down and gently kissed the top of her head. "If you'd like to have me here," he teased lovingly as he whispered his answer into her hair.

"Do you even have to ask?!" His hot breath in her hair slid down the side of her neck giving her goosebumps.

A quiet chuckle rumbled deep in David's chest. "There is nowhere else I want to be but by your side, my love."

"I'm happy for you David. You deserve this. So much." Baeryn gave him a proud smile.

Looking down into her hypnotic eyes, David seemed lost for words for a moment. Then, he moved his hands to gently hold both sides of her face. In a quiet, yet emotion-filled voice, he said, "I love you Baeryn Whavi. You and no other, ever again."

Her obsidian eyes quickly lined with silver, tears ready to make their journey down her cheeks. So many emotions wrapped in one phrase. "You're too good for me." She spoke somberly.

A soft grin slowly filled his face. "You deserve every bit of happiness that I can give you, my love." There was an intensity to his eyes. Not over-powering, but, completely enveloping. Slowly, he leaned down and gently kissed her welcoming lips.

Baeryn returned his kiss then pulled back, "Whatever you say, Captain."

He arched an eyebrow at her and grinned. "What? No more CorporalI? I thought that was my new pet name only for you?"

"mmm," Baeryn raised a shoulder shrugging, "i was trying it out. It's not growing on me yet. Corporal just... rings different."

A dirty thought filled David's mind. With a hungry grin on his face, he leaned in to whisper hotly into her ear. "I've got something else that will grow on you."

A challenging look crossed her face, her lids dropping a bit lower as her eyes shifted their way down David's chest. "Might be a little uncomfortable to grow with that uniform on Corporal."

Goddesses! This woman could drive him crazy! David continued to smile at her as he slowly, seductively, started to remove his uniform.

Baeryn put a hand on his to stop him from removing his shirt. She tapped on his new ranking pin, "Leave this on."

Hearing the huskyness of her voice, David stopped and smiled at her, his mouth starting to water in anticipation of tasting her lips. "You got it, Lieutenant" a mischievous glint filled his eyes. "You know, technically, we are the same rank now. We're both O-3's. I don't have to call you Ma'am, unless I want to." As he spoke, he sid his right hand up her back, into her hair. He then took a firm hold of it and pulled her head back, forcing her to look up at him more.

In a voice that was unmistakably filled with hunger, he growled at her. "Make me want to!"

Baeryn grunted as her head was gently yanked back. With a smirk she said, "When have I ever enjoyed you addressing me as ma'am?" As she spoke her right hand slid down between them and gripped his private tightly.

David hissed sharply at sudden grab of his manhood. Gripping Baeryn's hair tighter, he growled at her. "Better be careful with your toys, young lady. If you break them, you won't be able to play with them anymore."

"Pitty. I never took you for the breakable type. My Corporal took everything I hit him with, with such stamina. That's not going to change is it?" Baeryn teased as she tightened her grip slightly for just a second. She pressed her chest into him as she arched her back. Using whatever she could to drive him crazy with her hair and head still locked into place.

David clenched his jaw when he felt Baeryn press against him. He knew what she was doing....and he was enjoying it. "Get in the bedroom...now!" He growled hungrily.

With a smug look she padded off to the bedroom, towing him along behind her.

As the door to their bedroom started to close, David lifted Baeryn up and laid her down on the bed.
