Sex, Serendipity, and Salacia Station

It was Kevin’s policy never to stay the night with a hookup partner if it could be helped because he never knew if he was wanted. Therefore, once he had the energy to move again, he located his clothes and started getting dressed.


Mick propped himself up on one elbow. “How long will you be here?”


Kevin shrugged. “As long as it takes to fix the ship.”


“I’m done work at 1500 tomorrow, if you’re looking for company.”


Did he mean just company, or company for having sex? Kevin wasn’t sure. He was interested either way and odds were good he’d still be on the station. “Sounds good. Meet you in the cafeteria?”


“I’ll be there,” he said before enjoying a last look at Mick’s naked form and heading out the door. “Goodnight.”


It was no doubt obvious to everyone he passed in the corridors that he’d just had sex, and Kevin was fartoo happy to care.
