The thing about close-quarters living, like on a ship--or in a Northern settlement in the dead of winter--is privacy becomes a luxury you can do without.

Oh, sure, you make an effort to find a quiet corner, someplace you won't be in the way; and people around you pretend they don't see or hear anything. That's only polite. But you stop caring that you might have an audience.

And while Taz does technically have a cabin--with a door--that locks--more often than not, the warmth of Dallu's hands on her waist, her hips, her breasts; the taste of his tongue in her mouth; the hum of his racing heart keeping time with hers; comes in a wave of now that carries her right back to her days as a junior sailor who didn't have that option.

Privacy is overrated, anyway.
