"Harper." Beka warned. "I said you could sleep in here but don't push it."
"Come on, please." Harper tried. "You know you'd like it."
She sighed and headed for the shower. "All right."
Harper rushed out of his clothes and followed her into the shower. "Thanks."
"Just make it good." Beka growled but with little heat then sighed as Harper scrubbed her back. "Those hands are wasted on Tyr."
"You had your chance. Chances."
Beka laughed and washed her front then turned to wash his back for him. She caught his eyes wondering but didn't get mad.
"You're beautiful, you know that."
"I like to hear it now and then." Beka smiled then kissed his ear. "So are you."
Harper laughed but blushed and shampooed to cover it.
Beka smiled softly but gave him space.
Once they were clean and dry they settled into her bed and relaxed; each reading their own flexi. Harper quit first and snuggled up to her; his head on her stomach.
Beka knew Harper was out when Andromeda's hologram appeared. "Any word?"
"Not yet." Andromeda answered. "They should be arriving within the next twelve hours. Thank you for letting him stay."
Beka smiled and nodded. "I hope Tyr knows how lucky he is."
Andromeda nodded then vanished.
