He puts his arms around her and smiles. " I know you do,Ada. I thank bongo the god of gravity every day for you." Erich kisses her back softly and is relieved the spotlight is off him. He loves solving other people's problems, but hates talking about his own. " here you go,miss wannemaker. This is the sole key. Only you will be able to come up here." He says,handing her a small bronze key.

"You are very welcome my Ada." He kisses her forbear. He chuckles a bit." Well...you ARE nude. I can think of something to do. But other than that? We could....dress in old finery and have a two person box social." Erich says gleefully,thinking perhaps they are the only ones on the ship.

Erich,who was only half joking about his first suggestion looks rather surprised. But gladly joins Ada's kiss. He holds her by the waist. " let's get some hard to explain tan lines." He says with a laugh.

"As you wish. Inside migh be best. I don't think either of us want our kibbles and bits sunburned." Erich says kissing her once more. Erich laughs thinking of Ada's shape tanned onto his chest.

Erich laughs at Ada's covering of herself. " you want me to help you there,miss?" Erich offers in a cheerful 50'a milkman sort of way. " I love you too Ada. You are my best friend." He says as seriously as he can manage to a naked and attractive woman.


Erica happens to be walking by the ladder,and spots them." Oh shit! I am so sorry!" And quickly turns her head.

erica giggles and tosses her own shirt off. "when in rome." she shrugs. " if i looked like that,i'd walk around nude all the time. you're beautiful."she giggles at ada and gives her a thumbs up.

erich looks around and flings his own shirt off. "you better quit checking ada out,erica!" erich teases erica,while subtly moving so ada can hide behind him.

erica's smile at ada slowly fades as she notices the look ada is giving her. " sorry! i'm kind of oblivious to erich's presence." she frowns as she puts her shirt back on. "see you guys around." erica continues rummaging around the wheel house for something.

erich moves towards their room,making sure ada can hide behind him. "see,i told you erica would approve of your nakedness. " he whispers,trying to make light of what probably was an awkward sitaution.

"oh." erich says. he paces the room. ada's tone doesnt seem the most inviting. "it's just erica. i'm sure she did it just to make you feel less conscious about being nude." erich says,leaning against the wall to look at ada.

erich mirrors ada's sly smile. "oh i'm sure i can think of something." he glances down at her waist meaningfully. "i think i've got a lot of making up to do." he says kissing ada gently and smiling at her.

as she kisses him,erich runs his hands through her hair. he then trails kisses lower and lower. stopping just below her belly button,long enough to raise the tension before...
