[ON]

His shift done, David made a beeline for his quarters. Replicating a glass of Terran Lager for when he was done changing, David slipped into the sonic shower to wash off the day's grime. He was enjoying the relative peace & quiet of having his own quarters, a rare luxury for a Petty Officer, one he didn't expect would last.

The slight drone of the sonic shower greeted Rebecca as the doors to her new quarters slide open. Holding a crate of her personal belongings in both arms, she found herself stuggling slightly under the weight as she moved into the living space, her arms wobbling before they gave out and sent her belongings crashing to the ground with a big bang. "Crap...."

David heard a crash followed by the indistinct sound of a female voice swearing. That he definitely wasn't expecting, at least not without some advance warning, or by invitation, he mused. Grabbing a towel around his waist, David turned off the shower and stepped out into the common area.

The site that confronted him was that of another petty officer, a younger lady, pleasing to the eyes, standing overtop the spilled remains of a large tote bin. In contrast he stood there, naked except for the towel around his waist, wondering why another petty officer was standing there in his quarters with her personal effects. Then it dawned on him.

"You must be my new roommate," David blurted out. Wracking his brains, he vaguely recalled seeing a note last night about a move. "Give me a second to get some shorts on and I'll help you with your stuff."

Placing her hands on her hips, Rebecca's eyes were focused on her belongings before realisation hit her that a male voice was speaking to her. She was beginning to wonder what it was with this ship and opposite sexes being continously roomed together.

"Help would be good if you don't mind. I don't remember the box being this heavy when I came onto the ship a few weeks ago." Finally looking up, the yeoman raised an eyebrow as the man's state of undress. It helped in some ways that his body was extremely appeasing to the eye but in others it meant that she may have issues with her never sleep with a roommate rule. "Shorts mightn't be a bad idea. We wouldn't want any accidents when you help move this."

David grinned a little. He knew what she meant by accident though somehow he didn't think she'd be the kind to scream indecency if his towel had fallen. In any event, it wasn't going to, at least not this evening. Without saying anything, David slipped into his room, only to appear a few moments later with regulation shorts and undershirt on.

Going back to where Rebecca was cleaning up, he knelt down to help her put everything back in the tote. "Sorry about a moment ago. I apparently forgot about the message telling me you were moving in."

Shrugging her shoulders, Rebecca tilted her head slightly to take in the view for a moment before moving down onto her hunkers to try and gather her pieces together. "It's ok. This was all pretty quick from what I gather. One minute I was rooming with a scientist and the next I'm being told to pack my bags and relocate. I gather they are taking advantage of the quite ship to get some tidy up in before we are all hands on deck again."

"I learned early on not to question higher ups when it came to administrative matters. In any event, you got another scientist." Placing the last item back in her tote, David looked at Rebecca. "I'll have to clear a few things in my, sorry, our quarters but you're welcome to either bunk."

Taking her belongings from David, Rebecca followed after him as her eyes took in the general state of the area, noting that he was cleaner than most of her previous roommates. "I'll take the top bunk....I find more comfort when I get to be on top."

Entering their shared bunk room, David quickly picked up a few things and tossed them on his bunk to clear space for Rebecca to place her stuff. "I'd say welcome to your new home but a bunk is a bunk on a tin can like this." He said, smiling at Rebecca. "I'm pretty open with comings and goings, friends staying the night. Only thing I ask is knock first in case I have company over or am otherwise indecent."

Raising an eyebrow, Rebecca moved her belongings to the side locker as she started to sort the clothes inside. Glancing over her shoulder, she sent a smouldering look in the direction of her roommate, "Well now...cutting straight to the chase with no kiss or foreplay? Do you have people around often?"

"I can't say I haven't but I don't make it a habit." David replied, blushing a little at Rebecca's remark. He wasn't sure if she'd just cut him down a little but the expression on her face suggested something else. "Female companionship I mean." Groaning inwardly at that last remark, David mentally chided himself.

The blush caused Rebecca's smile to widen as she momentarily moved back from her unpacking and leaned her shoulder against the locker; allowing herself a better look at her roommate. "You try not to make female companionship a habit? Must be very lonely for you if your on your own all of the time."

"What I meant was that I don't make it a habit of bringing female shipmates to my quarters." He grinned, feeling a little bolder, letting his eye's roam over Rebecca's body "Doesn't mean I'd turn a girl down if the opportunity arose, I just don't go out after shift looking for it."

It didn't escape Rebecca's attention that her room mate's eyes were roaming over her body. A cheeky smile crossed her lips as she figured that she might have some fun with this. Moving her hands, she carefully unzipped her jacket before shrugging it down over her shoulders. "So what other rules have you got in place? Privacy in a singular open area can be a difficult thing."

"Rules?" David watched Rebecca. He could swear she was teasing him as they spoke, that or dropping hints about her intentions. "Guess it depends on the roommate."

As she slung her jacket over the back of a chair, Rebecca begun to tug her undershirt out from the trousers, her fingers moving to unbutton the neck before her hand pulled up the bottom to her mid-drift. "Well there's a
about knocking before entering incase one of us is...otherwise occupied. How about when both of us is in the room and need to change? Does one of us need to hide in the cramped toilet?"

David shook his head. "I can't promise I won't peek but if your okay with your roomie seeing you naked, I don't see why one of us would have to hide."

With a twinkle in her eye, Rebecca pulled her undershirt over her head, leaving just her black service bra ontop. Studying the other man carefully, she moved over closer to David before sidestepping him slightly in order to place her boot on the edge of the bunk, leaning over slightly to pull down the zip. "Hum...and what are the rules of we wish to bring someone back to the room for...some entertainment? Is the other to be made homeless for the night or invited to still stay in their bunk? Participate if they wish?"

Leaning back a little to maintain eye contact, he responded with a playfull grin. "Can't say I've been invited to a threesome before. Let's go with homeless for now and play that one by ear." He could smell Rebecca's perfume at this close distance and the scent was heavenly. "As we're swapping room rules, what's your take on 'entertaining' your roommate, hypothetically speaking of course."

Rebecca took her time responding to this one. She did have a rule about sleeping with bunk mates; when things went sour or they starting looking for more it usually spelled trouble. Pulling the zip down on her second boot, she toed both off before moving her hands to tug on the band holding back her hair. "Hypothetically speaking....Said roommate would need to understand that entertainment is as the word describes. It would never be any more than that and he, or even she, would need to be comfortable that they might not be only person whom I entertain."

Realising that her words were a little serious, Rebecca kept her voice light as she shook her hair loose, allowing the waves to settle down over her shoulders. The ends of the locks brushed across the low cut of her bra before her hands moved down to play with the button of her slacks. Her eyes studied David's as the teasing light in hers deepened. "I like to leave my options open for male or female or...even both sometimes."

~Far be it from me to argue~ David thought. ~Though whom on this ship would spring for a threesome,~ he wondered. Pushing the thought away, David slowly nodded. "Understandable." Watching her continue to undress, David found himself getting aroused, as much by her beauty as by the possibility she might sleep with him.

Time to see if 'hypothetical' was just that. "Rebecca." He said, his voice low, using her name for the first time as it suddenly came to him. "What if? You and I? No strings. Just entertainment."

Rebecca clearly understood what her roommate meant by his words but she slightly tilted her head to the side as her grey eyes studied him a little closer; from head to toe. She likes that he had some height on her, made it so much easier when it came to reaching certain places while standing up. His body was now covered but the towel earlier had left nothing to the imagination.

"What kind of entertainment would you be proposing? I can't claim to be much good at board games, unless you count twister." Moving both hands to her waist, Rebecca slowly pushed her slacks down until the pooled at her feet; allowing her to easily step free. She was playing games at this point, genuinely still undecided which way she wanted to go with this.

As much as he wondered if she was toying with him, he couldn't point to any one thing she'd said or done so far which suggested either way. If she wanted to be chased, then so be it. A sly grin crossed his face as he responded. "You know exactly what I mean Rebecca." He stood, having changed back into his regulation undergarments while they were chatting. Placing a hand on Rebecca's shoulder he looked down at her. "No games okay? If you want me I'm yours. If you don't, then say so. I won't be offended."

Rebecca was a little taken aback by the bold move on David's part...gone was the slightly reserved man she had initially walked in on and here stood a man showing more confidence to seek what he wanted. Something she was willing to give judging by the burning in her loins sparked by both his words and touch.

She had misjudged his height over their small distance, having now to tilt her head back in order to look into his eyes, allowing him to see the subtle burn of lust in the depths of her own. She wondered just how far he would take this forwardness; his words indicated he was handing her control but his touch conflicted. Rebecca was normally a woman who liked control but in this case she wanted to see what David was made of....There would always be time again for her to control. "Well now...if you put it like that..."
