13One Night Standthere wrapped together in the afterglow of bliss.After a few minutes, she whispered, %u201cYou are a fantastic lover. We seem to be well met biologically.%u201dHe didn%u2019t reply. He was falling asleep, partly due to the bliss fading, and partly due to that slight rocking movement he could fell from the caravan. The thought grew in his mind, %u2018What was rocking it?%u2019The caravan seems to be moving. We%u2019re not being towed away, I hope,%u201d he whispered.Her hand stroked the back of his head as she replied, %u201cNo. I have issued an instruction to my ship to go onto orbit.%u201dA good joke he thought. The rocking ceased and he settled down, his head between her breasts, and fell asleep.He woke with the sunlight streaming in through the window. Amanda was no longer in the bed. He looked up and around himself but saw she was not even in the room. He was about to call out when the door opened and her head popped around and said, %u201cAh. You%u2019re awake. Good morning, Keith. I made us breakfast.%u201d He got out of bed. %u201cDon%u2019t worry about your clothes,%u201d she said. He saw she was not wearing any.%u201cIt%u2019s lovely and warm and I want to gaze at you while we eat together,%u201d she said and left the open door. He went over and through the doorway.She sat at a table in front of a plate containing toast, a fried egg, bacon, and a hash brown. Another plate, equally loaded with food sat on the other side. Amanda pointed. %u201cCome and sit down, Keith, before it goes cold. Tea or coffee?%u201d%u201cCoffee, please,%u201d he replied as he sat down and started eating. She poured coffee and pointed at a small jug. %u201cMilk. Sugar is in the bowl.%u201dHe nodded and looked at her beautiful face. %u201cThank you. Very thoughtful of you to make breakfast.%u201dHe looked up past her as he put a piece of toast into his mouth. The One Night Stand
