It had been a week since several crew members of the
|
||
|
Enterprise arrived here on shore leave. I won't even try to
|
||
|
describe my initial reaction to the captain, Jean-Luc Picard. When
|
||
|
we were introduced and shook hands, I felt my entire body tingle.
|
||
|
I stared into his eyes intensely, but his smile froze and he closed
|
||
|
up as soon as he recognized my immediate attraction to him. Great
|
||
|
-- one of *that* type. Just my luck.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So today I had a friend of mine mention that we were running
|
||
|
short on mock attackers in our children's self-defense class. I
|
||
|
figured if I were lucky -- and I tend to be when I want something
|
||
|
badly enough -- the captain would be one of those willing to help.
|
||
|
Unfortunately, I learned later that the captain has a somewhat
|
||
|
bizarre reaction to children -- they frighten him. My heart sank
|
||
|
as this news reached my ears, but then, Renda explained that she
|
||
|
told him that attackers were mostly needed to attack adults, who
|
||
|
would then demonstrate technique to the children. An attractive
|
||
|
redhead -- the doctor Renda says -- convinced the captain to
|
||
|
assist. It seems, via the grapevine, that this woman and the
|
||
|
captain are involved, or were involved, or are trying to figure out
|
||
|
whether they're involved. Either way, I'll bet she had no idea
|
||
|
what the captain would wind up doing after class.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Everything was rather uneventful as self-defense classes go.
|
||
|
I made my usual pep talks; we went over de-escalation strategies,
|
||
|
etc. Then it was demonstration time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only Riker, the first officer and the captain had decided to
|
||
|
attend. We had hoped their Klingon security officer would come,
|
||
|
but he apparently decided the children would be too frightened to
|
||
|
practice with him -- he doesn't know much about our children, this
|
||
|
Klingon. At any rate, we were quite disappointed -- he was a
|
||
|
martial arts instructor in his own right, after all.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Renda and Riker did a few demonstrations and then Riker suited
|
||
|
up and "attacked" sever kids, most of whom did a damned good job,
|
||
|
and if he weren't wearing that protective gear, he would have been
|
||
|
seriously injured at most and finely stunned at least.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Captain Picard, please take over; just follow Christine's
|
||
|
instructions."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I told him what type of attacks I wanted, and in what order.
|
||
|
First, he was to come up behind me and press his arm about my
|
||
|
throat; second, he was to come at me with a knife -- a rubber knife
|
||
|
in this demonstration -- while I "slept" and pretend he wanted to
|
||
|
kidnap me; third, he was supposed to be attacking a teenage girl
|
||
|
with the intent to rape her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the first attack, he came up behind me and slid his arm
|
||
|
forcefully around my neck; I felt the constriction as his arm hit
|
||
|
my throat. I came down hard and fast on his foot with my heel --
|
||
|
just a shocker, not a stopper, of course, and followed immediately
|
||
|
with a rear kick to the kneecap. Were he not wearing gear, his
|
||
|
kneecap would have been broken. We did the attack again, this time
|
||
|
with me sending one elbow and then the other into his ribs, then
|
||
|
following swiftly by raising my elbows and swinging each in quick
|
||
|
succession against either side of his helmeted head, which sent his
|
||
|
head jerking from one side to the other -- again, I'm sure he was
|
||
|
thankful for the gear. Then I ran like hell.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the second attack, I lay on the mat and pretended to
|
||
|
sleep. I awoke to a knife at my throat and a stern command to get
|
||
|
up and come with my attacker. I pretended hysteria, pleading that
|
||
|
he not hurt me as I slowly moved my head so that the point of the
|
||
|
knife was not as much of an immediate hazard. He leaned in close
|
||
|
and grabbed one of my hands; and my other hand, which I had slowly
|
||
|
moved up next to my face, shot out and slammed a palm-heel against
|
||
|
his nose, inward and upward. Almost simultaneously, my other hand
|
||
|
broke free from his startled grip and clumped down on his wrist so
|
||
|
that he couldn't move it -- I bore down and twisted, and removed
|
||
|
the knife from his hand, then showed various slicing options to the
|
||
|
audience.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Third was the attempted rape. I was walking nonchalantly down
|
||
|
the mat and he rushed me, wrestling me to the ground. He used his
|
||
|
legs to open mine and get between them. He was in the perfect
|
||
|
position to enter me were I unclothed. I raised my legs up around
|
||
|
his ribs, crossed them in a scissor and squeezed with all my might.
|
||
|
When the grip was held fast, I used my hip muscles to roll him over
|
||
|
so that I was on top and slammed several nasty palm-heels into his
|
||
|
face and throat, followed by several demonstrations of how one --
|
||
|
even a child -- could break bones with relative ease -- and I ended
|
||
|
with a speech about practicing so that reaction became reflexive,
|
||
|
etc. etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But my concentration was totally off. When his hands had been
|
||
|
on me, when he had wrestled me to the ground, when he lay between
|
||
|
my legs and I could feel him beneath his uniform -- I felt an
|
||
|
overwhelming urge to drag him from the mat and go somewhere private
|
||
|
and show him just what I had wanted to do to him since I had first
|
||
|
met him. By the end of class, my uniform was wet for more than one
|
||
|
reason and I was aching and hot for his body to be against mine,
|
||
|
skin to skin, alone, away from everyone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The locker room was unisex and I quickly stepped into the
|
||
|
shower and lathered up, rinsed off and stepped out. He was in the
|
||
|
next stall; I saw him briefly as he closed the curtain and turned
|
||
|
on the water -- oh, sweet pain!
|
||
|
|
||
|
I glanced about the room -- Riker, already showered, was
|
||
|
leaving, calling his intended destination out to the captain before
|
||
|
his departure. The children were dawdling and for the first time
|
||
|
in eight months of teaching this class, it bothered me to no end.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Children, let's go!" I barked. "Out!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Amazingly, with a little more prodding, they were gone, and
|
||
|
without stopping to think, I hurried to lock the door. As I
|
||
|
reentered the stall room, the captain pulled aside the curtain and
|
||
|
stepped out, wrapping a towel about his waist.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Captain, you did a fine job this afternoon," I said, my heart
|
||
|
racing. The flimsy robe I had on barely hid my erect nipples --
|
||
|
the room was steamy; there was no mistaking why they were standing
|
||
|
at attention.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Thank you --"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Christine," I said, somewhat disappointed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Captain!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He was preparing to dress in one of the curtained stalls just
|
||
|
outside the shower room.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"When is your ship leaving us?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Tonight."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, then, I certainly don't have much choice, then -- do
|
||
|
I?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Choice? I'm afraid I don't understand."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I can't let you leave without throwing pride and dignity out
|
||
|
the nearest airlock and proclaiming in no uncertain terms that I
|
||
|
want you. Now, here -- all afternoon."
|
||
|
|
||
|
His look was the oddest I had ever seen on a man's face who
|
||
|
had been given such an offer from an attractive woman. It wasn't
|
||
|
pleasure; it wasn't disgust; it was -- shock -- no, maybe it was
|
||
|
simply surprise? How could he be surprised? He must have noticed
|
||
|
my reactions to him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, -- I -- I'm very flattered, but I'm afraid I can't
|
||
|
oblige you, Christine."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Oh, shit -- the gentlemanly letdown. I would have preferred
|
||
|
it if he had gotten angry or outraged, but no . . . that steady,
|
||
|
unperturbed look was back in place.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You are wasting your time with him, my dear."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Startled, we both looked toward the voice. A rather alluring
|
||
|
man in a Starfleet Admiral's uniform stood slightly behind the
|
||
|
captain and to his left.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Who are you? How did you get in here?" I snapped.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Q," the captain muttered angrily, "Get out of here! Right
|
||
|
now! -- Please!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, you are desperate to be rid of me, aren't you, Picard?
|
||
|
*Please?* This will be fun to remember for all eternity."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Is this guy nuts? Who is he?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"This is Q," Captain Picard said wearily. "He is an
|
||
|
omnipotent being who has at times been of great help to the
|
||
|
Enterprise and even to me personally, but who rather unfortunately
|
||
|
appears to delight in tormenting me much more."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, *mon capitan* -- if I had feelings, they would be sorely
|
||
|
hurt. Torment you? Well, you could have chosen death; then you
|
||
|
would have been rid of me -- oh, that's right -- no, you wouldn't.
|
||
|
I forget myself."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"This is an omnipotent being? I would think he would have
|
||
|
something better to do," I said, somewhat uncertainly. Part of me
|
||
|
expected to be vaporized, only to spend eternity floating about in
|
||
|
conscious bits, utterly lost and alone. Another part of me
|
||
|
wondered just exactly what it would feel like to have an omnipotent
|
||
|
body like this one all over me -- my hormones were in an uproar,
|
||
|
screaming neglect. Oh, why had I turned down that feisty Klingon
|
||
|
woman last month?
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, my sweet! You have the gall to question my activities
|
||
|
when the foremost thing on your savage, puny little mind is
|
||
|
exploring Picard's most intimate areas -- as well as mine, it would
|
||
|
seem?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What does one do to get rid of this jerk?" I said,
|
||
|
embarrassed that my mind was being read and so crassly denuded.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Usually, -- do what he wants. Go along with the game."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Splendid. What do you want -- what's your name, -- Q?
|
||
|
What's the game? Insult the Mortal? Eternal Banter? Slumming
|
||
|
with Savages?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, she's so uppity, Picard -- reminds me of Vash. Now that
|
||
|
very fact should pique your more prurient interests."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Who's Vash? Was that a compliment or an insult?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ah, Picard, you are so unwilling to give women what they want
|
||
|
from you. They have to try so hard -- but then you're the same way
|
||
|
from me -- one has to toil and toil before one gets anywhere with
|
||
|
you. Trust me, my dear -- he's not worth it. Besides, how
|
||
|
interesting can it be to experience carnal explorations with mortal
|
||
|
after boring mortal? I'll admit I understand the need for such
|
||
|
indulgences; your lives are so empty otherwise -- but --"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What would you suggest, Almighty One?" I said, never one to
|
||
|
stand for being goaded so strenuously. "Is this your way of
|
||
|
propositioning me? I can handle it!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Christine!" Captain Picard's voice was strained and somewhat
|
||
|
frightened; he was warning me that I was getting in over my head.
|
||
|
I knew it; I felt it. I didn't care. I was pissed. This
|
||
|
omnipotent pain in the ass was ruining my potential afternoon tryst
|
||
|
-- sure, it hadn't been going anywhere, but now he had really
|
||
|
thrown Picard for a loop, and Picard's good, though stoic mood was
|
||
|
clearly gone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"oh, what's the worst he can do? Kill me?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, don't be silly, little human; killing comes too easily;
|
||
|
it's rather boring and unchallenging."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well then? Where's the challenge in me at all? You're so
|
||
|
mighty and we're so weak and savage and loathsome. Where's the
|
||
|
fun? What's the point in your being here at all?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, frankly," he whispered in my mind -- I know Picard
|
||
|
didn't hear, "I like to make Picard feel trapped and inadequate,
|
||
|
because he intrigues me when he rises to meet my challenges. He
|
||
|
doesn't always succeed, but it's great fun watching him try."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How is this encounter making him feel inadequate?" I thought.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, you'll see -- or should I say, you'll *understand* -- in
|
||
|
a most -- intimate way."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I felt a hand on my breast and drew in a breath. There wasn't
|
||
|
anything there. Q's physical form was where it had been the whole
|
||
|
time; I touched my breast quickly, -- my hand brushed nothing, but
|
||
|
my breast was still enveloped in a soft grasp, and fingers were
|
||
|
seemingly tracing my nipple, tugging at it, pinching it. Between
|
||
|
my legs, another hand was groping, fingers plunging inside me.
|
||
|
This was horrible -- I had no control over this; I couldn't feel
|
||
|
the entity behind the hands, just the hands. They were not really
|
||
|
there, and yet, they were everywhere.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Stop it -- I want you to --"
|
||
|
|
||
|
I met his eyes. They were mocking but so . . . so . . . oh,
|
||
|
no, I had to stop thinking like this. Was he controlling my mind,
|
||
|
too?
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, no, my dear; your thoughts are all your own."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I gasped as I was engulfed in an invisible embrace, then
|
||
|
suddenly Q was there before me, and my eyes met Picard's briefly as
|
||
|
Q picked me up. They were shocked and staring -- the kind of look
|
||
|
I would never expect to see on a face like Captain Picard's.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Q, stop it! Are you going to rape her? What are you doing?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, Picard, your knight in shining armor routine is not
|
||
|
required here. The little minx wants me -- oh yes, she wants me in
|
||
|
the most disgusting manner -- not quite as much as she wants you --
|
||
|
not yet, at least. Let's see who she wants to spend the afternoon
|
||
|
with in a few moments, shall we?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
All of this came to me in a haze as I lay in Q's arms. His
|
||
|
hands weren't moving over me, yet hands were everywhere, gripping
|
||
|
me savagely, touching me lovingly, searing me with heat at the same
|
||
|
time a cold trickle of fear washed over me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, I won't hurt you -- at least I don't think I will," he
|
||
|
smiled down at me, then pressed his lips roughly against me. I
|
||
|
wanted to fight him -- I wanted to so much; my mind screamed
|
||
|
against my body, fighting for control -- but oh, shit -- his mouth
|
||
|
was so marvelous and his breath so sweet; I grasped the back of his
|
||
|
head and pushed myself against him hungrily at the same instant,
|
||
|
wanting to drown inside the kiss. I was gasping for air and
|
||
|
moaning deep in my throat -- my stomach, my groin, my hands -- they
|
||
|
were burning -- so hot -- so *hot*. And my skin -- it was -- it
|
||
|
was -- my robe was gone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I let out a moaning growl as my naked body touched Q's. His
|
||
|
skin seemed to be covered with energy which poured into every pore
|
||
|
of my being. I clung to him, digging my nails into his neck, his
|
||
|
chest. I heard an hysterical voice screaming for him to please
|
||
|
stop -- please -- I'm going to die -- please stop -- and with a
|
||
|
jot, realize it was my voice pleading for mercy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And yet, my body was trying to meet his entirely, I kept
|
||
|
thinking that if he would just surround me with his body, so that
|
||
|
absolutely every inch of me was covered with him -- life would be
|
||
|
complete, the epitome of desire reached.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I'll do that if you ask me to spend the afternoon with you,"
|
||
|
he crooned in my ear. "And if you tell Picard to leave. Go ahead.
|
||
|
Tell him to leave. I've unlocked the door."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Everything stopped.
|
||
|
|
||
|
My body was covered with sweat; my heart banging ferociously
|
||
|
against my ribs. My head hummed; my ears rang. My clit throbbed,
|
||
|
unfulfilled, against Q's stomach as he stared into my eyes. I saw
|
||
|
hunger there, and knew he was reflecting what was in my eyes. I
|
||
|
saw desperation, pleading, -- holy fucking shit, what had just
|
||
|
happened?
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, don't tell me you've forgotten already," he teased,
|
||
|
flicking his tongue against my throat. "Tell him to leave,
|
||
|
Christine. Or I'll leave. You have two minute."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Q!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
I actually think he was as startled as I.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What is it, *mon capitan*? Would you like me to spend this
|
||
|
evening with you, perhaps, after Christine and I are through? I
|
||
|
promise, I won't be tired."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"you are despicable! I didn't think you would sink to such --
|
||
|
such -- vulgarity simply to harass me. Using another person in
|
||
|
your never-ending quest, Q? You dare to judge my decision, my
|
||
|
motives?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, stop prattling, Picard. Our hot young friend here is
|
||
|
cooling off; we don't want that, do we? I don't think she does."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"It's not a real contest unless you allow me to try to
|
||
|
convince her to have *you* leave, Q."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, picard, please! Surely you don't expect to be able to
|
||
|
compete with me? I admit you have had more experience in your puny
|
||
|
short lifetime, but I assure you, you simply can't compare to what
|
||
|
I can do to this hungry, waiting woman."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Oh, yuck, I couldn't believe this twit's tongue had been
|
||
|
probing my mouth -- or had it been my soul -- only a moment before.
|
||
|
And yet, the memories -- oh, help!
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How can you possibly do in fifteen little seconds what I
|
||
|
accomplished in that time?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
*FIFTEEN SECONDS*!? That was all it had been?
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ah, you see, my sweet -- just imagine what I could make you
|
||
|
experience in a few hours -- I believe I'll ruin all future
|
||
|
encounters for you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"If you're so sure of yourself," I forced my mouth to work --
|
||
|
something I rarely had to concentrate on, "Let Captain Picard try
|
||
|
to compete."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He immediately complied, letting me go. I instantly felt
|
||
|
empty and dejected; the flushed feeling left my whole body, and all
|
||
|
desire vanished.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then I glanced at Q -- and I came so hard I nearly fell onto
|
||
|
my ass.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You're not -- playing fair," I gasped, shaking, clutching the
|
||
|
back of a chair.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, my dear, mortal life isn't fair. You know that by now."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Captain Picard was beside me, taking my hand. It was warm,
|
||
|
strong, reassuring. It was very nice, comforting, inviting.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I know you want him," he said to me quietly. "I can only
|
||
|
imagine what he is capable of making you feel."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You don't have to imagine it, Picard. I would be happy to
|
||
|
show you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ignoring him, the captain continued.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But I suspect your interest -- your initial interest in me
|
||
|
was not only based on physical desire and an attraction to me, but
|
||
|
also the desire for a mutually satisfactory experience. Certainly,
|
||
|
to be pleasured by a highly skillful lover is a fantastic
|
||
|
experience, not to have to satisfy that lover at all, to simply
|
||
|
accept everything as it happens, feel it and be overwhelmed by it.
|
||
|
But is there any please in this for Q, except the insipid joy he
|

|
apparently receives from goading me? I thought his games had more
|
||
|
significance than this -- they have in the past, but maybe I'm just
|
||
|
missing something. Either way, nothing he does to you, and nothing
|
||
|
you might want to do to him, will affect him the way it would an
|
||
|
over-indulgent lover. Nothing you do will excite him or surprise
|
||
|
him; he'll forget you immediately as a little game he played during
|
||
|
a tiny, tiny part of his existence. His only joy in this
|
||
|
experience will be conquering me, not you. You are a means to an
|
||
|
end. And I am positive he can make you feel more than you've ever
|
||
|
felt, and you will no doubt yearn for it to happen again and again.
|
||
|
Will he grant that to you? Probably not. He just might ruin
|
||
|
physical intimacy for you if you do this, Christine. And you will
|
||
|
be left with a desire for something he will never give you again;
|
||
|
nothing and no one will be able to compare, and you will be
|
||
|
unfulfilled, no matter how special a person you might meet some day
|
||
|
-- he will ruin a very special part of life for you. He doesn't
|
||
|
want you; don't give him what he does want."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You don't want me, either, Captain," I countered.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I -- I do find you very attractive, and I certainly am not --
|
||
|
put off by the idea -- by the possibility -- of -- an intimate
|
||
|
afternoon with you. I didn't turn you down for that reason; I
|
||
|
turned you down because I am not used to casual encounters and I am
|
||
|
-- in a fashion anyway -- involved with someone."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I'll never see you again, most likely. And I'm sure you
|
||
|
sometimes make exceptions to your rule of passing up casual
|
||
|
encounters?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes," he said, clearing his throat and looking warily at Q --
|
||
|
I suspect expecting him to make another comment about the
|
||
|
aforementioned Vash.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well then, Captain?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Captain Picard took me into his arms gently -- oh so gently --
|
||
|
and kissed me. The kiss began slowly, lazily, and I closed my eyes
|
||
|
and felt myself sink comfortably into the jangle of feelings which
|
||
|
began to creep throughout me. He began to build the pressure in
|
||
|
his lips and tongue, and his embrace became more insistent. I
|
||
|
nuzzled against him, fighting his tongue back into his mouth and
|
||
|
exploring it hungrily. One of his hands pressed against my upper
|
||
|
thigh, and I felt the pulsebeat in my groin quicken and the
|
||
|
suffusion of heat enclose my clitoris. Just when the kiss was
|
||
|
becoming almost too much to take, he withdrew and dropped his head
|
||
|
to my breasts, nuzzling each and alternating between my nipples
|
||
|
with his tongue and his fingers. His other hand crept up with
|
||
|
maddening slowness, and he brushed my clit teasingly with two
|
||
|
fingertips. I shuddered and gasped.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He lifted my chin and kissed my throat, nipping me slightly.
|
||
|
I wound my arms around him and lifted my feet from the floor,
|
||
|
wrapping my legs around him and pushing insistently against his
|
||
|
cock, the tip already slick with pre-ejaculate.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He tried to pull back, wanting to delay the moment, but I was
|
||
|
hungry, my body had had quite enough of teasing and foreplay. I
|
||
|
slid around him -- he was rather large -- and it felt so wonderful
|
||
|
I cried out before we had even started to move together. We
|
||
|
somehow managed to slide to the floor and we rolled around
|
||
|
entwined, thrusting away and gripping one another. He kissed me
|
||
|
passionately and slowly, and my body was enjoying intensely the mad
|
||
|
rush each new touch, each new position.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Suddenly, I remembered Q, thinking that Picard would probably
|
||
|
prefer it if Q weren't there. I broke our kiss to tell Q to get
|
||
|
lost -- but I didn't see him anywhere.
