John nodded, feeling the knot in his stomach tie a bit tighter. Part of him wanted to pull her up right then and there and take her back to her quarters. But he kept control of himself, finishing his cake and placing the plate in the basket.
Once they were done, he made sure everything was cleared and placed in the basket, and when Jennifer was ready, he took her hand, letting her led him to her quarters. After the door was closed, he set the basket next to her bag on the floor and then wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. The moment he did, he felt himself starting to warm and become aroused.
He became even moreso when she started to kiss him.
"I'm glad I came back too," he murmured against her lips.
Running his hand up, he pulled the holder keeping her hair back in a ponytail out, letting her hair fall down over her shoulders. While he tangled his fingers in her hair, his other hand caressed over her to the neckline of her sundress and up to the straps, which he pushed down over her shoulders.
