Not Drowning....Waving

By Vickchick




"Meg.......I was so scared"

"Shush Ben, its OK now, nothing can happen to you"
*I'm here, I love you, you're safe*

As she mouthed the platitudes to him she felt ashamed, as she would never
tell him how she felt normally.......but he had been through so much and
was so vulnerable that she opened herself to her emotions. She, herself was
so worried on the Bounty, would she ever see him again? what was he going
through? was he allright?
Her relief to find him on the submersible, intact, if shaken, was obvious,
had she held her feelings in check, did Welsh and Turnbull guess about her
undue concern?
She silently handed him the spare uniform that Sgt Sam had provided, while
itching to hold him and soothe his fears......*Never let him go again Meg!*
Damn, she had never felt so affected by a man
Struggling to display the professional concern she should have, her body
quaking as she realised her near loss, she leaned over and held him as she
had always wanted to,
*Ben, why do you always have to be so strong and capable and now so
defenceless, I know I am overstepping my boundaries as you're superior but
I need you to know......*

Their lips met in a searching kiss

His mind questioning if there was a trainload of unconscious mounties
heading for nuclear catastrophe and hers questioning her need and the
barrier of rank.

He forgot everything and kissed her with deepening desire and she
surrounded to her feelings that had been suppressed for so long.
"Ben, Ben I love you so much, please forgive me, I wish I had shown you
sooner"

"Meg, hold me, I feel so safe and capable with you believing in me, you
have never doubted me ........lied to me ........hurt me and
mine......everything you have ever done to me I had already done to
myself.....you believed in me and I know now,...... loved me."

They both wanted more....
She slipped off his wet clothes as he fumbled with her uniform........
wanting and needing she cradled him in her arms, pressing him to her
breast, as he reached over and locked the cabin door.

"Meg, please love me"

"Ben, I always will"

Holding and needing each other,
soothing and caring,
making whole the dark parts of each others hurt and loneliness,
climbing a mountain of pleasure of each other... and leaping together into
a sunny safe place as their hearts beat a little faster due to the angels
ringing a bell that chimed a song of peace and love within the other.

The End.......

Yes I know......the Megginess of it....the sap flowing.......Ah how sweet!
