Training, not a performance

It was the fourth day of the seven-day flying trip, and the ship had made a few stops, diving each time it took off again. Over these past four days, Cassian's life had been quite easygoing and enjoyable, with only a few exceptions.

The most fun part had been the daily, hours-long, close-quarter massages he gave Katherine, which lasted almost all day. He found himself enjoying them more and more, and they helped him grow comfortable around her. So much so that he could now talk to her without much fear. Plus, the massages had given him the freedom to touch her without hesitation, even going as far as lifting her skirt fully at the start of each session, without needing her permission.
