Richard closed the channel to the comm. System. He’d just spent the last few minutes in a very one sided conversation with General De Beirs, where he’d been told in no uncertain terms that he was being re-assigned to a much more vital position as part of the war effort against the Romulans. It was with almost immediate effect, so he’d have to start packing at once.
There was one complication, and she was laying on his bed in her nightie, reading a book.
Chloe looked up from her book once Richard leaned back in his chair. She hadn't been paying any attention to his conversation more engrossed in her book. "Hun?" She said looking up to him, her way of asking what was going on.
He sighed and leaned against the doorway leading to the bedroom. “I have new orders.” He said. “You’re not going to like them.”
"Tell me, please." She said raising an eyebrow as she slid off the bed to move next to him lightly touching his chest. She already knew she wasn't going to like them by the look on his face.
“I’ve been reassigned.” He said. “My orders are to assume command of the 1st MEF based out of Starbase Unity. They are starting with immediate effect.”

"It has to be." She said quietly. "Richard, you know how I feel about you."

"An easy way?" She was currious.
“Part of my new command will be four marine air groups. If you transferred your commission to the marine corps, I could assign you to one of my squadrons, thus meaning you’d have to come with me.”
"That sounds easy enough." She said with a smile, relaxing some now, leaning into him.
"So you... and me... would have to be leaving soon... wouldnt' we...?"
“Yes and in that case, we both need to pack.” He said.
"Your normally pretty quick about packing..." She said with a smile lightly kissing him on the lips in a way that beckoned to him.
“Indeed.” He said, kissing her back.
Chloe started to slowly pull him to the bed behind her getting his uniform jacket off with much ease. It wouldn't be a problem for him to remove what clothing she wore, because her night wear wasn't much to start with.
