The sex was easy in this position, soft, gentle motions in zero-gravity left them both floating together like on a gently rippled waterbed. Jeanette's pistoning motion on Alexi's cock got them revolving in a head-over-heels spin, a spin only slightly slowed by his licking of her clit in the opposite direction. If anyone could have seen them they would have been amazed at the grace of their motions as they locked in a beautiful orbital ballet.
Alexi and Jeanette had first met shortly after the shuttle docked at the station and the supplies were transferred. Once the initial work was complete, the crew of the shuttle formally introduced themselves to the sparse crew of the station. Alexi had been on the station for about three months as was scheduled to return to earth on the next mission. Jeanette was the pilot of the shuttle, so she would only be on the station for a few days before flying it back to earth.
When the two astronauts were introduced they immediately were drawn to each other, Jeanette was captivated by Alexi's dark, deep set eyes and the way he seemed to look into the depths of her soul when they talked. Alexi was drawn to her proud confidence, unassuming but very evident. Had they met on earth, their coupling would have been a forgone conclusion, unfortunately, on the station, with their busy schedules, noting was certain.
Of course that very uncertainty fired their desire for each other, to the point that they were willing to risk their careers in an effort to get closer. The thought of being the first couple to have sex in space was also enticing, so when the rest of the crew prepared themselves for a television feed back to earth, they were able to slip away into a corner of the station. Although it was a bit awkward as they removed their clothing, banging into each other as they bounced off the surrounding walls.
