measurements? "
    She smiled. "I'm good, but not that good.  I have to make a hell of a lot of calculations and see if I can get current data from Io station as to the field strength. I'll work with Ben on the MFG configuration and I will have something by tomorrow."
    Attie grabbed her face and kissed her. She openly smiled, and Atticus thought how wonderful it was to see her happy, even if just for a minute.
    Ben and Amelia worked on the problem the rest of the day, with AJ quietly watching and following them around like a puppy dog.
    Atticus alternated between listening to them, watching the sensor displays and eating junk food in the galley. 
    That evening Atticus was asleep in his bunk, when the door opened.  Amelia came in and closed the door behind her. "Can I lay with you?". 
    Attie looked up and watched her details appear as she came closer. "Of course". He scooted over and opened the covers.  She kicked off her shoes, unzipped her jumpsuit and let it fall to the floor, then she pulled her tank top over her head and let it drop.  Attie watch her intently.  He could see the bottom of her breasts being lit up by the display next to the bed.  Her nipples were getting hard from the cold and her breasts bounced as she jumped on her socks to take them off.  She then slipped her panties off and jumped into the bed. "Attie, can you cuddle with me in the naked way? I just want to feel your warmth against my skin." 
    Attie took off his undershirt, threw it across the room and kicked his underwear somewhere down the bed. "Sure!" She scooted her bare back and butt up against him. The coolness of her skin sent sensations up his spine. He put his arm around her and could feel the soft warmth of her breast. He asked, "Do you want to..?"...she interrupted, "Not tonight Attie. I'm sorry. I am just not ready.  Can you just hold me and make me feel safe? I feel you, but I am really sorry, I just can't right now".
    Attie whispered in her ear. "I love you and being with you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Please don't be sorry.  Making you happy is all that I need." She turned over, kissed him and hugged him intensely.  She began to cry..."I love you too."
    In the morning, Attie woke up to find Amelia not there.  He looked on the floor and saw her panties and tank top still laying there, but her jumpsuit was missing.  Just then the door opened, and in she came. "You're awake! I made some french toast for you and I have some orange juice."  Attie sat up in eager anticipation of the delicious smelling food.  She gently set the tray down in his lap.
    He asked "What about you?"
    She smiled and sat down next to him. "I had mine."
    He forked in a mouth full, "Mmmm that's good" and with his other hand pinched her butt through her jump suit.
    She giggled a bit and said "Eat up, we have a big day of planning ahead." She grabbed her clothes off the floor, hopped up, and on the way to the door, she turned and said "Hey Attie.".  He looked up from his food and she unzipped her jump suit. Attie jumped and the plates of toast slid across the tray. He lunged to catch it.  As he caught it, he looked back up, she laughed and went out the door. He yelled "Hey! That's not fair!"
    Then Ben popped his head in. "Having fun this morning Captain?!  Well come on, get your ass out of bed. We have ideas."
    The captain said "I am. Hold on just a second. I'll be right there." and he mumbled to himself "I just have to find where my underwear went..."
    Ten minutes later the captain walked up to the bridge, his hair a big mess, and saw Amelia sitting there, her beautiful shoulder length straight red hair. It was in perfect condition. She was wearing a cobalt blue top with two rows of buttons with the top  button undone and the flap opened to expose her cleavage.   Attie gulped at the sight of her while thinking, "Damn, she's gorgeous this morning!" Amelia saw him standing there with his mouth open and when Ben looked away for a
