A Romance
|
|
|
|
Data awoke from his sleep cycle with a start. His cat had jumped on
|
|
his chest, purring contentedly. Gently, he picked up Spot and set her down
|
|
on the bed. It was not a good time to be awoken.
|
|
He got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror. He took a
|
|
brush and combed back the few misplaced hairs on his head. Ever since
|
|
Geordi has installed the emotion chip Dr, Soong has created for him, he
|
|
was fascinated at discovering the many emotions that he had noted in
|
|
humans before, but could not understand, such as the vanity of looking
|
|
one's best even when no one else is around.
|
|
He noticed something in the mirror and looked down at himself. He
|
|
was surprised to see he had an erection.
|
|
Dr. Soong had made him, as he once told Tasha Yar while they
|
|
were both under the influence of the Psi 2000 virus, fully functional, down
|
|
to a operational set of sexual organs. He even suspected that, since he
|
|
knew all the physical characteristics of Dr. Soong, that he had given his
|
|
creation a sizable set to make up for his own shortcomings.
|
|
But unlike humans, he had to concentrate to have an erection. It
|
|
wasn't a reflexive function.
|
|
He ran an internal scan of his nervous system. No anomalies.
|
|
Then he noticed that the swelling had gone away.
|
|
He remembered male crewmembers of the Enterprise sometimes
|
|
joking that they had to think about sports to keep from becoming sexually
|
|
aroused by female crewmembers. He now supposed that his preoccupation
|
|
about his erection had actually distracted him enough to make him lose it.
|
|
Still, he was curious, and decided that he would have to determine
|
|
whether there was some defect in his sex organs or whether this was part
|
|
of the emotion chip, In the meantime, though, he had other things to do.
|
|
"Computer," he said. "Begin recording personal log."
|
|
"Acknowledged," the computer responded.
|
|
"Personal log, Lieutenant Commander Data reporting."
|
|
Data had been making reports on his dreams ever since he
|
|
discovered the subroutine in his positronic brain that allowed him to dream.
|
|
He was sending descriptions of a select few to Commander Maddox, who
|
|
was conducting studies of Data's brain, and had asked for even more
|
|
reports since the emotion chip was installed. Still, he held a few dreams
|
|
back, those who he felt would be embarrassed by what they did in his
|
|
dreams. He knew that this dream was one of those.
|
|
"My dream last night involved Counselor Troi. We were again on
|
|
the bridge of the Enterprise, immediately after it crash-landed on Veridian
|
|
III. We were thrown through the viewscreen and I was protecting her from
|
|
the debris. The ship shuttered to a halt. I looked down at her and asked,
|
|
'Are you all right?' She responded, 'I'm fine.' Then she raised her hand to
|
|
my face, caressing it. 'Thank you for protecting me.'
|
|
"She pressed her lips to mine. I was surprised at first, but then
|
|
found myself enjoying the sensation. I briefly looked around and saw that
|
|
there was no one else on the bridge.
|
|
"She broke off the kiss and sat back. She turned around, lifting her
|
|
hair. 'Data,' she said, 'could you help me with this?'
|
|
"I had no idea what was going on, but wished to be helpful, so I did
|
|
as she requested. She slid her uniform off her shoulders, then unclasped her
|
|
brassiere. She then turned around, removing her undergarment. 'Data, what
|
|
do you think?'
|
|
"'Of?' I asked.
|
|
"She giggled. 'My breasts, of course.'
|
|
"I, of course, have seen images of breasts before in my studies of
|
|
humanity, and even seen those of Tasha, but these were the first breasts I
|
|
had seen since receiving the emotion chip. They stirred feelings in me I had
|
|
not felt before. I was drawn to them, to their shape, to the darkened nipples
|
|
which were now erect. I wished to touch them, but found myself unable to
|
|
generate the initiative to do so.
|
|
"Counselor Troi must have sensed by hesitancy, for she took my
|
|
right hand and placed in on her breast. 'Go ahead,' she said. 'Touch me.'
|
|
"Her breasts were larger than Tasha's, and had a smooth, silky
|
|
feeling to them. Feeling bolder, I raised my left hand as well, and soon I
|
|
was fondling both breasts. I even gently pulled on the nipples, which
|
|
Counselor Troi seemed to enjoy.
|
|
"'Kiss them,' she said.
|
|
"Again, wishing to please her, I did as she requested. I released her
|
|
breasts, then gave each one a kiss.
|
|
"She shook her head, apparently amused. 'Data, I mean I want you
|
|
to kiss them repeatedly, not just once.'
|
|
"She lay back on the floor, pulling me down with her. I began to
|
|
kiss her breasts, leaving trails of saliva on them. I even suckled at them,
|
|
using my tongue to flick the nipples. Again, she seemed to enjoy this.
|
|
"As I was doing this, she began to slide her uniform over her waist.
|
|
'Data, please take it off.'
|
|
"I slid her uniform off the rest of the way, leaving her nude except
|
|
for her panties. "What do you wish me to do now?' I asked.
|
|
"'Kiss me. Down there.'
|
|
"'Down where?' I asked, not knowing if she was referring to her
|
|
knees or to her feet.
|
|
"She giggled again. She began to remove the cotton blue panties.
|
|
'Here, Data. My pussy.'
|
|
"I moved up her body to her sex organs. There was a fine layer of
|
|
dark hair covering the entrance to her vagina, so I used my fingers to
|
|
spread it and the outer layer of flesh to expose it. I then began to kiss her,
|
|
which caused her to moan gently.
|
|
"'Suck me, Data. Lick me.'
|
|
"I did as she requested. I located her clitoris, and gently placed my
|
|
lips on it, sucking on it as I had her nipples. This seemed to stimulate her
|
|
even more.
|
|
"'Yes, Data. Suck me. Ohhhh, please, don't stop. Lick me.'
|
|
"I returned my attentions to her vagina. I came upon the notion of
|
|
using my tongue to penetrate her like a penis, so I stuck out my tongue and
|
|
placed it in her, then pulling it back."
|
|
"'Oh, yes, Data, yes! Tongue-fuck me. Put it in me. Ohh, yesss!'
|
|
"I must admit to being slightly disappointed that my idea was not an
|
|
original one, as it seemed to be something Counselor Troi had already
|
|
experienced. Nevertheless, I continued to penetrate her orally.
|
|
"The counselor was moving her hips up and down, grinding her
|
|
vagina against my mouth and nose.
|
|
"Put your fingers inside me, Data. Please.'
|
|
"Gently I inserted my index finger as I continued to lick her vagina.
|
|
I began to manipulate it as if it were a penis, figuring this was why she had
|
|
asked me to do this.
|
|
"'Fuck. Yess. Ohhh, yesss. I'm getting ready to cum, Data. Please,
|
|
don't stop, don't stop!'
|
|
"Again, I was puzzled, this time as her admontion to not stop, since
|
|
I had no intention of stopping this encounter once it was initiated, but I
|
|
said nothing. I was unable to say anything, actually, because of my
|
|
position.
|
|
"'I'm cumming. Oh, yess! Oh, gods! Yesss!'
|
|
"I felt the fluid on my tongue and on my lips as she thrashed about.
|
|
It tasted slightly salty, much like Tasha's. I do not know if this is the way
|
|
it
|
|
would actually taste. I believe that I imagined it has a similar flavor
|
|
because
|
|
Tasha's vaginal fluids are the only ones I have ever been in contact with.'
|
|
"Counselor Troi continued to thrash about in the wake of her
|
|
orgasm, settling down after a few moments. 'Data, that was incredible,' she
|
|
moaned.
|
|
"'Thank you, Counselor.' I replied.
|
|
"She laughed. 'I think now we're close enough that you can call me
|
|
Deanna.'
|
|
"'All right, Deanna.' I answered."
|
|
She sat up, taking my face in her hands and kissing me again. She
|
|
slipped her tongue between my lips, and even licked at my face. I suspected
|
|
she was actually tasting her own fluids on my face.
|
|
"'OK, Data,' she said, reaching behind me for the fastener on my
|
|
uniform. 'It's your turn.'
|
|
"I slid around, giving her better access to the fastener. She undid it
|
|
all the way, and I removed my tunic. She caressed my chest. Then she
|
|
moved her hand to my groin. She grasped my penis, which was still flaccid.
|
|
"'Don't I arouse you?'
|
|
"'It is not that. It is simply a matter of concentration.' I then
|
|
expanded my penis to its full erect state.
|
|
"She gently stroked my penis within the confines of my pants. I
|
|
began to enjoy the sensation. Even though I can control when I have
|
|
orgasms, I felt as close to losing control as I have ever come.
|
|
"She then undid the fastener of my pants, freeing my organ. She
|
|
admired it for a moment. 'Time to return the favor,' she said. She began to
|
|
move her head toward my penis.
|
|
"It was at that moment that Spot woke me up."
|
|
He looked at the cat, resting contentedly on the bed.
|
|
"Sometimes pet ownership can be quite frustrating."
|
|
He looked back down at himself and noticed that his penis was
|
|
once again erect.
|
|
"Fascinating," he muttered.
|
|
|
|
Deanna Troi woke up with a smile on her face, which puzzled her.
|
|
She looked down at herself. Her sheets had been thrown onto the
|
|
floor, and her dressing gown was undone -more like torn open - all the way
|
|
down to her waist, exposing one of her breasts to the cool morning air of
|
|
San Francisco.
|
|
It was not the first time she had awoken like this. As a half-
|
|
Betazed, she felt emotions very strongly, and as such often needed to
|
|
contain them around humans, who sometimes she thought were as
|
|
constrained as Vulcans about outward displays of affection.
|
|
At night, though, in her dreams, she could give them free rein. Will
|
|
Riker used to complain about her thrashing about, she remembered with a
|
|
small smile, complaining that he didn't know which part of their lovemaking
|
|
was harder to endure, the scratches she left on his back, or the bruises she
|
|
left on his chest while sleeping in his arms. On the other hand, Worf told
|
|
her that she enjoyed both.
|
|
She thought of the two men as she tried to sort her thoughts and
|
|
clear her head of sleep. Will had left a week before, anxious to get back
|
|
into space as soon as possible after the destruction of the Enterprise.
|
|
Starfleet had asked him to stay at the headquarters, even hinting that he
|
|
would probably be given command of the next starship, which was to be
|
|
christened in six months, if he would stay and oversee her final warp tests.
|
|
But he left anyway, taking the first available post, as first officer on the
|
|
Cochrane. She supposed much of it had to do with unreasonable guilt over
|
|
losing the Enterprise while he was in command.
|
|
Worf had left before that. Their parting was amicable. She had
|
|
known from the beginning that a relationship with a Klingon would be
|
|
difficult, for they placed honor above all else, even love. But she still had
|
|
to
|
|
feel some rejection when he left to study at Klingon monasteries rather than
|
|
stay and explore their feelings for each other.
|
|
She rose from the bed to look out of the window of the Starfleet
|
|
cubicle she, like all the remaining members of the crew of the late starship
|
|
Enterprise, had been assigned, watching as a shuttle passed by the ancient
|
|
Golden Gate Bridge on its way northward.
|
|
She now realized what it was that was troubling her. As a half-
|
|
Betazed, and unlike humans, she could remember her dreams. They were
|
|
more like actual experiences to her, and when she got depressed, and even
|
|
chocolate couldn't help her, she would often replay a vivid one in her mind
|
|
and she would cheer up.
|
|
But she did not remember having a dream the night before.

Part 2

---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Deanna entered the Starfleet mess hall an hour later. She looked
|
|
around for familiar faces, knowing that she would find fewer today than
|
|
yesterday, and even fewer than the day before. The former crewmembers
|
|
of the Enterprise were getting on with their lives.
|
|
Beverly had rejoined Starfleet Medical, regaining the position that
|
|
had once taken her away from The Enterprise, but which now was hers
|
|
without regrets. Geordi had accepted a research post at the Daystrom
|
|
Institute. Even Guinan had disappeared, without saying goodbye, as she
|
|
always did. Being several hundred years old, she had once confided to
|
|
Troi, she knew that goodbyes never got any easier. Besides, the one
|
|
constant in the universe is that you will run into everyone you have ever
|
|
known at least one more time after you think you have departed forever.
|
|
She tried to let that thought comfort her as she walked into the
|
|
room full of strangers
|
|
She walked up to a replicator and ordered chocolate-chip pancakes
|
|
with maple syrup and a cup of cocoa. She picked up the tray that
|
|
materialized and looked around the room again.
|
|
She passed a table of young ensigns and again sensed a wave of
|
|
curiosity, the same wave she felt as she was recognized as a member of the
|
|
Enterprise crew. The crew that saved Veridian III. The crew that had seen
|
|
the legendary Captain Kirk. The crew that saved the Federation from the
|
|
Borg.
|
|
She felt silly being idolized.
|
|
Then she saw him in a back corner, studying what appeared to be
|
|
an ancient Earth book. She maneuvered through the room to the table.
|
|
"Data," she greeted. "It's good to see a friendly face."
|
|
He looked up and smiled. "Counselor. I am pleased to see you as
|
|
well."
|
|
She still was unaccustomed to seeing his displays of emotion, but
|
|
they were getting more natural every time she saw him. She sat down
|
|
across from him. "We're not on the ship anymore, so I'm not a counselor."
|
|
His face fell. "Oh. I am sorry. Is it unpleasant for you when I call
|
|
you that?"
|
|
"Why would it be unpleasant?"
|
|
"I thought perhaps it conjured up memories of the Enterprise. I
|
|
know that when I think of the ship, I feel sad. I mourn the loss. I miss my
|
|
friends. I miss the exploration. I thought, perhaps, you did as well."
|
|
She sensed his sadness. Again, she had to flinch a little at this.
|
|
Data's emotions were unlike those of organics. They had a metallic sense to
|
|
them, like Synthanol did compared to real wine. They were servicable but
|
|
nothing compared to the genuine article.
|
|
"No, I'm not sad when I think of the Enterprise. I think we'll be
|
|
together again someday. Don't ask me how I know. I just do."
|
|
"I do hope so."
|
|
She took a sip of her cocoa. "What have you got?"
|
|
He held up the book. "It is a book of sonnets by William
|
|
Shakespeare. It was a gift from Captain Picard before he left for the Utopia
|
|
Planitia Yards. He said that in light of my recent acquisition of emotions,
|
|
that there was no better way to learn about what it was like to have them
|
|
than to read more Shakespeare."
|
|
"Are you enjoying them?"
|
|
"To be honest, no. I find the imagery interesting, and the phrasing
|
|
pleasant, but I fear I am missing the author's intent."
|
|
She took a bite of her pancakes as he was talking. "Perhaps I can
|
|
help. Read me one of the sonnets."
|
|
Data flipped through a couple of pages. "Here is one:
|
|
Let not my love be called idolatry
|
|
Nor my beloved as an idol show
|
|
Since all alike my songs and praises be
|
|
To one, to one, still such and ever so.
|
|
Kind is my love today, tomorrow kind
|
|
Still constant in a wondrous excellence.
|
|
Therefore my verse, to constancy confined
|
|
One thing expressing, leaves out difference.
|
|
'Fair, kind and true' is all my argument
|
|
'Fair, kind and true' varying to other words,
|
|
And in this change is my invention spent
|
|
Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.
|
|
Fair, kind and true have often lived alone
|
|
Which three till now ever kept seat in one.
|
|
|
|
Troi was lost in the words and Data's gentle recitation, and it took a
|
|
moment for her to realize he was gazing at her in curiosity. "Huh?"
|
|
"I said, I believe he is talking about his loved one, but I do not
|
|
understand what he is trying to say about her."
|
|
"Oh. I'm sorry. Could you please repeat the sonnet? And any others
|
|
you have questions about."
|
|
"Certainly."
|
|
Troi smiled, and settled in to listen.
|
|
|
|
After breakfast, Deanna was planning to tour some of the sights of
|
|
San Francisco. She did not know how much longer she was going to be in
|
|
town, and she did not want to miss the revival of the ancient play "Beach
|
|
Blanket Babylon." Worf had told her about it and the thought of an ancient
|
|
prison site strangely fascinated her.
|
|
She stepped into the turbolift to return to her room to dress for the
|
|
excursion. "Level 15," she ordered.
|
|
The turbolift began to move.
|
|
She then became aware of a rush of fluid coming from her vagina.
|
|
It stained the front of her jumpsuit.
|
|
"Emergency stop," she shouted, instinctively. The lift jumped to a
|
|
halt.
|
|
She felt the crotch area of her clothing, then raised her hand up to
|
|
her nose. It was indeed her vaginal juices. The heady aroma pushed the
|
|
world out of her mind.
|
|
She undid the front of her suit and slid her hand inside her panties
|
|
and felt herself. The second her hand touched her sensitive skin, she felt a
|
|
tingle that almost magnetically drew her to insert her index finger past her
|
|
puffy outer lips into herself. She stuck her finger in up to her first
|
|
knuckle,
|
|
then to her second, then down to the hand. She then withdrew it and then
|
|
put in her first two fingers.
|
|
She didn't know why she was doing it. She only knew she couldn't
|
|
stop.
|
|
She slid to the floor and began to finger-fuck herself, using the slow
|
|
pace that she preferred from her lovers.
|
|
"Ooooooh," she moaned, the sound escaping her lips. She could
|
|
also hear the moist friction of her fingers, and her vagina almost
|
|
magnetically drew her fingers back into herself as quickly as she withdrew
|
|
them.
|
|
She heard the chirp of the lift intercom. "Turbolift 6, is everything
|
|
all right?"
|
|
She bit her lip to keep from moaning.
|
|
She heard someone say, "OK, the lift is empty. Use the emergency
|
|
override to bring the lift down ..." before the channel closed.
|
|
She quickened the pace of her hand, feeling the soft inside of
|
|
herself, then bringing her other hand down to manipulate her clitoris. She
|
|
played with it like a mini-penis, running her finger up and down it.
|
|
She moaned, knowing no one could hear her. "Ooooh, ooooohh."
|
|
She moved the other hand up and down, trying to feel as much of
|
|
herself as she could.
|
|
She felt her orgasm build up, powering up like a engine preparing
|
|
for warp. She was on the verge of hyperventilating, twisting her head from
|
|
side to side uncontrollably.
|
|
Her body tripped the orgasm, flooding her hands with more juices.
|
|
She kept fucking herself, unwilling and unable to stop, as she gushed on
|
|
herself. Her body shook like she was cold, and she raised her hands to her
|
|
face, wetting herself down with her juices. She licked her fingers, savoring
|
|
the moist taste.
|
|
The sudden jerk of the turbolift brought her to her senses. She
|
|
realized that in a few seconds the door would open and a Starfleet repair
|
|
crew would see her. She leaped to her feet, pulled her underwear back into
|
|
place and refastened the front of her suit.
|
|
The doors slid open, and she was face to face with an Andorian in a
|
|
tan uniform.
|
|
"Are you all right?" he asked.
|
|
She brushed her hair back. "Uh, I'm very claustrophobic. That's
|
|
why I'm all sweaty. I panicked."
|
|
"They told me the lift was empty."
|
|
"I was ... too upset to speak. I was on the floor .. you know, about
|
|
to pass out from the panic."
|
|
The Andorian looked at her, as if unconvinced, then looked at the
|
|
floor. "I better go get a mop." He departed.
|
|
She leaned against the wall next to the lift door. What was that, she
|
|
asked herself. I need to see a doctor.
|
|
For a moment, she thought of trying to find Beverly, but she knew
|
|
that could take hours. She then remembered Dr. Selar was still staying at
|
|
Starfleet Headquarters. She called the next turbolift to return to her room
|
|
to change clothes. She folded her arms, afraid to get her hands close to her
|
|
waist.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Selar closed the cover of the medical tricorder. "You seem to
|
|
be in fine health, Counselor. I am unable to locate any physical problems."
|
|
They were in Selar's quarters. Troi was too embarrassed to ask any of the
|
|
headquarters personnel to check her out, and as a doctor on the Enterprise
|
|
for the seven years they had served together, Selar was as close to being
|
|
her personal doctor as Beverly was.
|
|
"Could you check again?" Troi sat on the Vulcan's bed.
|
|
The Vulcan raised an eyebrow. "It would be much easier for me to
|
|
diagnose your problem is you were to reveal to me what the symptoms
|
|
are."
|
|
Deanna blushed. "I'm sorry. I just feel so strange ..." She hesitated.
|
|
"Patients are often reluctant to discuss delicate matters with their
|
|
doctors."
|
|
"No, it's not that. I just feel strange discussing this sort of
|
|
problem
|
|
with ... a Vulcan."
|
|
"Oh. I understand." Selar put the tricorder down. "This is a sexual
|
|
problem."
|
|
"Yes. How did you ..."
|
|
The doctor interrupted, "It is a common misconception that since
|
|
Vulcan males only feel the pon farr every seven years that we are not
|
|
comfortable or familiar with sexual matters. Actually, quite the opposite. It
|
|
is precisely because Vulcans do not have to worry about sex for every
|
|
seven years that we are able to analyze and comprehend the complexities of
|
|
the subject."
|
|
Deanna could see the logic in this.
|
|
"So what is your problem?"
|
|
"As I was standing in the turbolift, my body began to produced
|
|
vaginal fluids on its own, and then I was struck by a compulsion to
|
|
masturbate."
|
|
The Vulcan's expression did not change. "Was there any stimuli that
|
|
could have triggered the episode?"
|
|
"Such as?"
|
|
"A handsome man. A memory. Chocolate?"
|
|
"No. I was just standing there."
|
|
"Interesting. I understand that Betazed women undergo some sort
|
|
of biological change that increases their sex drive by four-fold."
|
|
"Yes, The Phase. But that doesn't happen in women my age. It
|
|
doesn't happen until about 50.
|
|
"I see. She walked over to her computer terminal. "Computer,
|
|
access Starfleet Medical Database."
|
|
"Accessed," the flat female tones of the computer responded.
|
|
"Conduct search on artificial causes of compulsive behavior, cross-
|
|
referencing Betazeds and sexual behavior."
|
|
"Processing. Two matches."
|
|
Selar studied the screen. "One involves digestion of a rare flower
|
|
on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet."
|
|
"I've never been there." Though she remembered Will had.
|
|
"The other cause is the Psi2000 virus." She looked up at Troi. "I
|
|
know you are well acquainted with that virus."
|
|
"Is it possible that the virus is causing that?"
|
|
"Doubtful. In all documented cases, there have been no
|
|
reoccurrences, even among those re-exposed to the virus."
|
|
"I see."
|
|
Selar walked back to Troi. "Is it possible the compulsion has a
|
|
psychosomatic cause?"
|
|
Troi shrugged. "I don't know. It's possible."
|
|
"I would suggest that you make an appointment with a psychologist
|
|
when it is convenient. I am afraid I cannot help you more."
|
|
Troi stood. "Thanks, anyway." She turned to leave.
|
|
"Counselor."
|
|
Troi turned back around.
|
|
Selar folded her arms against her chest. "As a Vulcan I realize that I
|
|
do not have the most comforting bedside manner, but I would suggest that
|
|
you do not worry. This incident doesn't seem to be dangerous, and perhaps
|
|
was just the result of stress. We have all undergone stress since the
|
|
destruction of the Enterprise. Perhaps you more than anyone. I would not
|
|
worry if I were you. There are certainly worse afflictions to be suffering
|
|
from."
|
|
Troi smiled a little. "Thank you." She left.
|
|
|
|
She went back to her room, unlocking it with her thumbprint. She
|
|
looked around, still expecting to see her old familiar surroundings from the
|
|
Enterprise. Her flowers. Her memory crystals. The comfortable chair she
|
|
sat in when she listened to the problems of her shipmates. Instead, she
|
|
found the spartan Starfleet-issued mauve furniture. The quarters were not
|
|
meant to be lived in for an extended period of time, and had all the
|
|
personality of a blank wall. All her possessions were in storage.
|
|
She slumped down at her terminal. "Computer, any messages?"
|
|
"Three," the flat voice came back. "First message received, 0730,
|
|
from Outpost 36."
|
|
"Deanna."
|
|
She felt that same chill she felt whenever she heard Will Riker's
|
|
voice. When she was younger she thought it was love. Now she knew it
|
|
was just sexual excitement, but it was still bracing to hear him say her
|
|
name.
|
|
"I'm on my way on a three week mission to map the outer fringes of
|
|
the Badlands. I just wanted to ask you again to serve as counselor on the
|
|
Yorktown. It's a fine ship, everything I want in a command, but it just
|
|
doesn't feel right without you here to guide me in the right directions. I'll
|
|
talk to you in three weeks. Goodbye, Imzadi."
|
|
She closed her eyes at that word. That wasn't playing fair, calling
|
|
her that. She was considering the post, but had not made up her mind that
|
|
deep space was where she wanted to be right now. She was enjoying
|
|
having a planet beneath her for the first time in seven years. She wanted to
|
|
stay in one place, even if it was just for a little while,
|
|
"Second message, 0750."
|
|
"Hello, little one."
|
|
"Mother," Deanna said, as she always did in response to Lwaxana's
|
|
voice.
|
|
"I was just checking in to see how my little girl is doing. I'm on my
|
|
way to earth, strangely enough, to visit some old friends in the diplomatic
|
|
corps. If you want to, you could join me and do some networking ..."
|
|
Deanna shook her head. Here we go again.
|
|
"I mean, you don't have any plans, I know, and the diplomatic corps
|
|
needs someone like you. Someone who's had experience with many
|
|
different cultures ..."
|
|
She tuned her mother out mentally. She'd heard this speech before,
|
|
many times. It wasn't that diplomacy didn't interest her; in fact, she was
|
|
seriously considering taking up her mother's offer. It was just the idea of
|
|
following her mother around like a little child again. She had just come
|
|
back from a seven year mission of deep space exploration. Did she really
|
|
want to go back to being a child again?
|
|
"So I'll see you next week. Bye, Little One." Lwaxana made a
|
|
smooching sound.
|
|
"Third message. 0905."
|
|
"Ms Troi, this is Commander Thane of Starfleet Command. I want
|
|
to make an appointment with you to discuss the position I discussed with
|
|
you on Tuesday."
|
|
Thane had mentioned Starfleet was interested in having her teach a
|
|
training course for prospective counselors for deep-space missions, but he
|
|
hadn't described it as a position before. She thought it would be just a two-
|
|
week course, something to occupy her while she decided what to do next.
|
|
"We're really interested in setting up an advanced training regimen
|
|
for deep-space counselors, and we think no one is better qualified than you.
|
|
So please contact me at your earliest convenience."
|
|
"Messages ended."
|
|
She sat back in her chair. Three paths for the future. Which one do
|
|
I take? Do I take any of them?"
|
|
She got up and walked to her room replicator. It was a small one,
|
|
meant for snacks, not full meals.
|
|
"Computer, make me a double hot fudge sundae, hold the nuts."
|
|
The dessert appeared on the pad.
|
|
Yes. she thought, this is definitely a double hot fudge problem.
|
|
|
|
Data sat alone in his quarters. Spot was napping on the bed, not the
|
|
cozy basket Data had prepared for him to sleep in.
|
|
He ran another self-diagnostic, the sixth this morning. He wondered
|
|
if he was becoming obsessive over the erection thing.
|
|
Out of curiosity, he had done research on the male genitalia and
|
|
theories on sexual stimulation. Aside from strictly technical physiological
|
|
information, the only insight Data had gained from his research was that
|
|
discussion of the sexual act was much like, as Geordi had once told him,
|
|
breaking down Alderbaran whisky into its component molecules: you learn
|
|
what went into it, but the flavor was definitely lost in the process.
|
|
The self-diagnostic again turned up nothing.
|
|
Data sighed.
|
|
Then he realized he had sighed. He never sighed.
|
|
Another mystery, he thought to himself. Erections. Sighing. What
|
|
did it mean?
|
|
|
|
"Alcatraz was constructed in the late 19th century and served as a
|
|
detention center for criminals for several decades," the tour guide droned,
|
|
obviously past the point of caring what he was saying anymore and going
|
|
strictly on autopilot. "After that, it became a tourist attraction until the
|
|
great earthquake of 2018, which submerged the island. Then in 2240, a
|
|
consortium of investors constructed the biodome, and tours once again
|
|
resumed."
|
|
Troi, like most of the tourists, turned her gaze upward to the
|
|
transparent aluminum dome overhead, at the mention of its name. The sun
|
|
was clearly visible through the forty or so feet of water between the top of
|
|
the dome and the surface.
|
|
"The site now is doubly interesting, for the original site as well as
|
|
the reminders of what early 21st century man left behind on the island. We
|
|
will see original Big Gulp cups as well as a primitive communication device
|
|
known as a "cell phone."
|
|
A couple of Ferengi oohed at the mention of the phone. A whole
|
|
tour shuttle load of them crowded around, carrying holocameras and
|
|
wearing obnoxiously loud shirts.
|
|
Troi longed for the days when T-shirts were silent, before some
|
|
entrepreneur decided talking shirts were cute.
|
|
The one in front of her, set off by her closeness, blurted out, "My
|
|
parents went to Earth and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
|
|
Deanna lagged behind the group. She began to regret coming on
|
|
this tour, bothered by the tourists, but more preoccupied by the incident in
|
|
the elevator.
|
|
Never had she lost control of her actions like that, and certainly she
|
|
had never compulsively masturbated in a public place before. Her prim and
|
|
proper bearing, a defense against being overwhelmed by the emotions of
|
|
others, had more and more in the intervening years she had joined Starfleet,
|
|
become a part of her. It was one of the reasons she and Will had broken
|
|
up, because he found it easier to be her friend than to try to break through
|
|
the wall she had built around herself.
|
|
She longed for someone who she could be herself with, to let go
|
|
with all her emotions, to be as wild and reckless as she knew she could be.
|
|
The group rounded a corner. Deanna leaned against one of the
|
|
ancient cell doors.
|
|
She heard a low rumbling sound behind her. She turned around.
|
|
Worf stood there, his head tilted.
|
|
"Worf? What are you doing here?"
|
|
He charged at the bars, roaring. He kicked the door open, grabbed
|
|
Deanna and pushed her against the wall.
|
|
"Worf!" She knew what his actions meant. He wanted her, and he
|
|
wanted her now, and he would not be denied.
|
|
"Do not speak!" he grumbled. "I will have you!"
|
|
He pulled the elastic fabric of her suit down over her shoulders, the
|
|
neck pinning her arms to her side, exposing her breasts.
|
|
He saw her puckered nipples. "I see you want me."
|
|
She was too stunned to speak.
|
|
He took her breasts in his hands, roughly handling them, pulling on
|
|
the nipples.
|
|
"No, Worf." She looked over his shoulder. No one was around,
|
|
"I said silence!" He lunged forward, biting her shoulder hard
|
|
enough to sting, but not enough to break the skin.
|
|
She pressed against the wall, beginning to be stimulated against her
|
|
will. She did not particularly enjoy rough sex, but because it was Worf, it
|
|
was different. He knew how far to go without taking the extra step into
|
|
sadism.
|
|
He let go her breasts, reaching down and feeling her vagina through
|
|
her jumpsuit. "I want you to cum, Deanna," he said with a hint of menace
|
|
in his voice. "On my hand."
|
|
She began to move against his hand, as he tried to slip his fingers
|
|
inside her slit through the material. The smooth fabric of her panties slid
|
|
against her sensitive insides.
|
|
"No, Worf," she moaned, turning her head to the side. "Not here."
|
|
He continued to pump his hand. "Yes, here. Now."
|
|
She beat her hands on his shoulders, partly because she hoped he
|
|
would release her, but mostly because she knew he enjoyed it.
|
|
He held his hand in place now, sliding it back and forth, then up
|
|
against her clitoris, where he began to penetrate her again. He moved faster
|
|
now.
|
|
She grabbed onto his shoulders now, digging her fingernails into
|
|
him. "Mmmm. Oh, Worf. That's it. Right there. Deeper, deeeeper."
|
|
He grinned that confident victory smile she knew so well, the
|
|
conquering Klingon claims another win. He had broken her resistance once
|
|
again.
|
|
She moved against his hand as fast as he stuck it in. She knew she
|
|
couldn't hold out much longer.
|
|
"Cum, Deanna!"
|
|
She did as she was told, letting out a long moan as she felt her
|
|
climax rip through her body, causing her body to go into spasms. She felt
|
|
the cold concrete against her bare shoulders as she leaned back for support,
|
|
the only things keeping her upright being the wall and Worf's hand.
|
|
He pulled his fingers out, and she slid down against the wall at his
|
|
feet, her body limp from the force of her orgasm. She dropped her head,
|
|
knowing what was to come next. She would give him oral sex, and soon
|
|
the rough armor-like skin of his organ would be between her teeth.
|
|
" ... Then in 2240, a consortium of investors constructed the
|
|
biodome, and tours ... oh shit!"
|
|
Deanna looked up. Another tour group had gathered outside the
|
|
cell door. Several Ferengi had pulled out their holocameras and started
|
|
snapping photos.
|
|
She looked down to see her breasts exposed. Quickly, she slid the
|
|
jumpsuit back over them.
|
|
She looked down to see her jumpsuit was again stained by her
|
|
vaginal juices.
|
|
Without looking at the faces of the group, she breezed out of the
|
|
cell and to the nearest souvenir stand, where she quickly bought a
|
|
sweatshirt and wrapped it around her waist like an apron. She then headed
|
|
for the aquashuttle dock.
|
|
Her tour was over.
|
|
|
|

The Eye of Heaven
|
|
Part 3
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
That evening, Troi was preparing for bed. She had draped her
|
|
nightgown over her body and was about to lace up the front when a gentle
|
|
chirp announced someone was at the door. She quickly pulled on her robe
|
|
and said, "Come in."
|
|
The door slid open with a hush. It was Data.
|
|
"Counselor, can I speak with you?"
|
|
"Certainly, Data." She ushered him in the room. "What can I do for
|
|
you?"
|
|
The door closed behind him as he entered. "I have been curious
|
|
about something."
|
|
"Yes?"
|
|
"I was wondering what you planned to do next, now that the
|
|
Enterprise is gone."
|
|
She sat down in a chair beside her computer terminal. "I don't
|
|
know. I've been trying to decide. Please sit down."
|
|
He moved to a chair close to her. "I have been trying to decide as
|
|
well. I have been presented with several opportunities, including teaching
|
|
posts at Oxford and Princeton, as well as the chairmanship of the Noonian
|
|
Soong Institute. But none of these appealed to me."
|
|
"The only advice I can give you is to follow your heart."
|
|
"I am not used to following that."
|
|
"What is it you would like to do?"
|
|
He paused. "I do not know. I am still not experienced enough in
|
|
emotion to determine a wide variety of things I enjoy."
|
|
"Well, what have you found so far?"
|
|
"I enjoy painting. Playing with Spot. Conjugating verbs."
|
|
"Conjugating verbs?"
|
|
"Yes. It is quite relaxing. I run. I am running. I ran. I had run. I
|
|
had
|
|
been running."
|
|
"Data," she said, amused. "Stop."
|
|
"I stop. I am stopping. I have stopped. I had ..."
|
|
"DATA!" she exclaimed, laughing.
|
|
He looked at her.
|
|
"I meant, stop conjugating verbs."
|
|
"Oh. I am sorry."
|
|
She smiled. "Don't be. That's the first good laugh I've had in hours.
|
|
And I needed it."
|
|
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
|
|
She nodded.
|
|
"Can I help?"
|
|
She shook her head. "I don't know if anyone can."
|
|
"I want to try."
|
|
"It's ... " she grappled for the right words, " ... sort of an
|
|
emotional
|
|
problem."
|
|
"I see." He looked to the side for a moment, then back at her. "I
|
|
know that since I only acquired my emotional programming recently that I
|
|
am still a novice in their use and application. However, I would suggest
|
|
that since I have the unique standpoint of inexperience, perhaps I can bring
|
|
that to bear upon your predicament."
|
|
She looked at him, confused. "What are you trying to say?"
|
|
"Perhaps I can bring what Commander Riker used to call
|
|
"beginner's luck" to your situation."
|
|
She was touched by his efforts to help. "Thank you, Data. Maybe
|
|
you can help. But right now, all I want to do is go to bed and sleep."
|
|
"I understand."
|
|
"How about breakfast tomorrow? I heard about this nice bistro near
|
|
Fisherman's Wharf. Then we can talk."
|
|
He stood up. "That would be excellent. What time shall I pick you
|
|
up?"
|
|
"About eight?"
|
|
He nodded. "I will be here then. Good night, Counselor."
|
|
"Good night, Data."
|
|
He turned, then paused, as if he just remembered something he had
|
|
to tell her, but then thought better of it and left.
|
|
She shook her head at the memory of his conjugations. Data. Ever
|
|
since he had gotten his emotions, it was like meeting a whole new person
|
|
every time she saw him. And she liked every Data she met more than the
|
|
one she had met before.
|
|
She got up and slid her robe off. She looked down at herself,
|
|
noticing her gown was still undone. She started to fasten it.
|
|
"Don't do that."
|
|
She whirled around. Standing there, in a flowing white cotton shirt
|
|
and black trousers, was Will Riker.
|
|
"What are you doing here? How did you get ..."
|
|
He rushed up to her, covering her mouth with his hand.
|
|
"You ask too many questions, Imzadi."
|
|
He looked like a buccaneer of ancient Earth, she couldn't help but
|
|
think.
|
|
He replaced his hand with his lips.
|
|
She resisted at first. Will could be presumptuous at times, but this
|
|
was ridiculous. Never mind how far he had traveled.
|
|
But then she felt his right hand travel down her back as his left held
|
|
her head to his. He kneaded the soft flesh of her buttock, then traced the
|
|
sensitive valley between her asscheeks with his fingers.
|
|
She felt herself begin to dampen.
|
|
He moved his lips to that sensitive area near her jawbone. She
|
|
couldn't suppress a moan.
|
|
"I knew you wanted me," he whispered in her ear between kisses.
|
|
"It's been too long."
|
|
She moved her hands to his rear. Muscular and tight, she thought.
|
|
He must be working out again.
|
|
She pressed herself against his groin. She felt that familiar bump
|
|
against her upper thigh. She gently humped against him as he continued to
|
|
caress her ass through her satin garment.
|
|
He stood back for a minute, then grabbed the top of her gown and
|
|
tore it down and tossed it aside, leaving her exposed to his gaze.
|
|
"As beautiful as I remember, Imzadi," he said, with awe in his
|
|
voice. "I must worship such a goddess."
|
|
He fell to his knees before her. He grabbed an asscheek in each
|
|
hand and pulled her to his face.
|
|
She had to grab his shoulders to keep from falling down.
|
|
He went straight for her clitoris, just like the old days. He pursed
|
|
his lips and drew it in like a straw, running his lips up and down it.
|
|
She had not made love to him since he grew his beard. The rough
|
|
whiskers scratched her upper thighs as he moved his face around. It was
|
|
another sensation in a sensory overload.
|
|
He ran his tongue now down into her pussy. He licked her like a
|
|
boy hungry for candy. He moved his hands to her front, spreading her
|
|
opening. "Cum for me, Imzadi. I want to taste you on my tongue."
|
|
She clawed at his shoulders, making tiny tears in his shirt. She felt
|
|
her orgasm build. She never had any problems cumming when Will was
|
|
around.
|
|
He tongue-fucked her now, moving his hands back to her ass to
|
|
pull her as close as possible. "Ooooh," she moaned. "Lick me. Eat me."
|
|
"Play with your nipples, Imzadi," he said, looking up at her. "That
|
|
always got you off." He stuck his tongue back inside her running it back
|
|
and forth as far in as he could reach.
|
|
She reached up and began twirling her nipples between her thumbs
|
|
and forefingers. Her nipples always became extra sensitive during sex.
|
|
As he had predicted, she could not hold back when she did what he
|
|
told her to do. She rubbed her vagina against his head faster and faster,
|
|
building up as much energy as she could for the explosive orgasm that was
|
|
to come.
|
|
Suddenly, release. "Ahhh!" she grunted as she fell back to the floor,
|
|
thrashing about and wailing aloud and her vagina unleashed pure sensation
|
|
all over her body, and she felt herself explode. Wave upon wave pummeled
|
|
her, and she felt a puddle form beneath her.
|
|
She lost track of time as she lay panting, trying to catch her breath.
|
|
She slid her hands up to her breasts, as she absent-mindedly toyed with the
|
|
nipples.
|
|
"Gods, Imzadi," she moaned, looking up for Will. She would do
|
|
anything for him now. Anything to repay his giving her that moment of
|
|
pure lust.
|
|
There was no one there.
|
|
She looked down at herself. Her gown lay ripped across the room.
|
|
Gods. What was happening, she asked herself. shaking loose from
|
|
her dazed state. She got up, fumbling for her robe. She began to pace the
|
|
room.
|
|
This was no symptom of stress, she knew now. Something, or
|
|
someone, was making her do and think thing against her will.
|
|
Who had caused to act against her will in the past? Who was
|
|
capable of such things.
|
|
Then she remembered Jev. The Ullian who had forced himself into
|
|
her mind and committed telepathic rape. He had taken the place of Will in a
|
|
memory of one of their most passionate encounters, then twisted it into
|
|
perversion for his own sick pleasure.
|
|
This was the only explanation. Someone was mind-raping her.
|
|
Again.
|
|
The realization hit her like a punch to the stomach. She had to lean
|
|
against a wall to keep from falling down.
|
|
She would rather die than go through that hell again. And there was
|
|
only one way to keep it from happening again.
|
|
|
|
Down the hall, Data was running diagnostics on himself. It was the
|
|
first time that day he had the spare time to fully concentrate on his mystery.
|
|
The diagnostics turned up nothing. The systems that automatically
|
|
mimicked human behavior - blinking, breathing, even crying - were all
|
|
working perfectly, but he could not find any flaw in his sex organs.
|
|
For the thirtieth time, he made himself erect, then went flaccid
|
|
again.
|
|
Then he decided to try an experiment. He recalled the dream
|
|
imagery of the night before. He again found himself with an erection.
|
|
He then ran a self-diagnostic on subroutines of his mimicry
|
|
programming, and he found it.
|
|
A subset of numbers, buried within a deeper set of numbers. A
|
|
mere drop in an ocean of numbers. Buried away deep in his psyche.
|
|
Then his father appeared.
|
|
Dr. Noonian Soong looked as old as Data had ever seen him, and
|
|
he had seen his creator just before the old man died. He stood, using a
|
|
gnarled piece of wood for support. Data saw that the cane was carved, and
|
|
it appeared to have a serpent carved into the sides of it, the tail near the
|
|
floor, the body circling the shaft of the wood until the head appeared near
|
|
where Dr. Soong grasped it.
|
|
"Hello, Data. If you are seeing me, you've discovered my final
|
|
present to you."
|
|
"Final present?"
|
|
"Well, next to final present. I am still working on an emotion chip,
|
|
one that will allow you to fulfill all my hopes of giving you a full emotional
|
|
life, and that will probably be my last present. But even then, I know that
|
|
will be meaningless without this gift, so this one won't activate unless you
|
|
receive emotions."
|
|
"What is this gift, father?"
|
|
The old man hobbling closer to his creation. "Data, I give you the
|
|
ability to override your programming. To be more than your programming.
|
|
I give you the ability to surprise yourself. I give you unpredictability."
|
|
"How can you ..."
|
|
The old man patted the android's cheek. "I simply tossed together a
|
|
few chaotic number generators, linked it to a randomizing matrix
|
|
formulator, and voila."
|
|
"What does this mean?"
|
|
"It means, Data, that sometimes you will not react to a situation in
|
|
a way that you have previously reacted to similar situations. You will have
|
|
appropriate, yet involuntary reactions to events around you." He leaned
|
|
heavily on his cane, causing it to bend slightly. "It means you will be able
|
|
to
|
|
look at a flower and enjoy it for just being a flower, not because you find
|
|
its chemical composition interesting." The old man leaned forward, with a
|
|
conspiratorial gleam in his eye. "It means you may look at the posterior of
|
|
a female and instead of seeing a pleasing shape or an excellent example of
|
|
human engineering, you'll just see a nice ass."
|
|
"But how am I supposed to deal with these random elements?"
|
|
Soong stood up straight again. "Just like humans do, Data. The best
|
|
you know how. Now I've got to go." He patted Data's cheek again. "Be a
|
|
good boy," he said gently, and vanished.
|
|
Data now knew that his father had hoped that he would evolve
|
|
enough to want spontaneity. Perhaps he had even hoped that Data would
|
|
someday find someone to share a relationship with, one in which attraction
|
|
was more than a matter of logic.
|
|
Knowing this, he realized something else too. And he had to tell
|
|
Counselor Troi about it right away.
|
|
|
|
Troi sat on the floor in her room, the lights turned off.
|
|
She feared another attack of the compulsion. She didn't know if
|
|
she was the victim of a psychic rape or some other phenomena, but she
|
|
knew that she must close down all emotion, all contact with other people
|
|
until she could tell. As a Betazed, she could go into a meditative state,
|
|
shutting down all conscious thought, living within her subconscious until
|
|
she felt safe to come back.
|
|
She didn't mean to go so far, though.
|
|
She was losing herself within herself. She knew it, and she was
|
|
beginning not to care.
|
|
At first the thought of enjoying the darkness frightened her, but the
|
|
fear quickly gave way to the seductions of the dark.
|
|
She didn't know the dark was going to be so comfortable. She had
|
|
sought the darkness for safety, but she didn't know it was also going to
|
|
offer consolation. She was safe here in this place without boundaries, safe
|
|
from the expectations of others. Safe from the uncertainty of the future.
|
|
Safe from lovers who used her for their own means and left when the
|
|
emotion became too real.
|
|
The numbness was as seductive as a lover. It was pulling her down
|
|
into its bosom, enveloping her like some romantic bandit with a flowing
|
|
cape, caressing her like a warm bath, soothing her like a mother does a
|
|
child.
|
|
She knew she could stay this way forever. She wanted to.
|
|
She didn't hear the chirp at the door. Or the second.
|
|
She didn't hear the door slide forced open, or Data enter.
|
|
"Computer, lights," he ordered. When the room brightened, he saw
|
|
Troi sitting on the floor, back in a corner, her head tilted forward.
|
|
"Counselor," he said, rushing over to her. He raised her head
|
|
gently, brushing the stringy hair from her eyes.
|
|
She didn't respond.
|
|
"Counselor. Please talk to me."
|
|
Nothing.
|
|
He noticed her breathing was shallow, and he sensed her heartbeat
|
|
was down to ten beats a minute. Her eyes were open, but they had not
|
|
responded to the stimuli of light.
|
|
"Counselor, please wake up. I need to speak with you."
|
|
He recognized the state. It was the same one her mother had
|
|
retreated to rather than face the memories of the loss of her son. He knew
|
|
it was a dangerous state.
|
|
"Counselor, I need you," he said, grasping her hands. "Please come
|
|
back."
|
|
Deep within herself, she felt Data's compassion calling to her,
|
|
cutting through the dark. It had none of the metallic residue of the other
|
|
emotions she had felt from him.
|
|
This was pure emotion. Unadulterated. Untouched by insincerity or
|
|
deception. It was as honest and as true a feeling as she had ever sensed,
|
|
and it called to her now. And she could no more resist it than the other
|
|
compulsions and feelings she had felt.
|
|
"Da ... ta?"
|
|
He smiled softly, feeling moisture around his tear ducts. "Yes,
|
|
Counselor. It is Data." He released her head.
|
|
She rubbed her eyes. "I felt you."
|
|
"I am glad. What has happened to you?"
|
|
Deanna told him about the compulsive attacks and hallucinations.
|
|
He listened intently.
|
|
"Can you tell me when these events occurred?"
|
|
"This morning, after breakfast."
|
|
"And you had one after I left earlier?"
|
|
She nodded.
|
|
"I see. I believe I know why you have been having these attacks."
|
|
"You do?"
|
|
"It is because of me."
|
|
"What?"
|
|
"I believe you are being affected by a subroutine I recently
|
|
discovered in my emotional programming that allows for involuntary
|
|
emotional responses."
|
|
"But you have had those. I remember you crying ..."
|
|
"That was not the sort of responses I was referring to. These
|
|
responses have to do with desire. Such as salivating at the smell of food.
|
|
Or a quickened pulse when one is with one loves."
|
|
"So how could this affect me?"
|
|
"The subroutine accomplished this by increasing the intensity of
|
|
certain emotions. So being sensitive to the feelings of others, you perceived
|
|
my more intense feelings, but could not identify them and was unable to
|
|
deal with them as you do others because you are unaccustomed to my
|
|
particular type of emotions. You have been having these attacks after you
|
|
have spent time with me, have you not?
|
|
She thought, "Yes. But yesterday I woke up having had an attack in
|
|
my sleep. How could you have caused that one?"
|
|
"I can only deduce it was because of a dream I had."
|
|
"What sort of dream?"
|
|
He hesitated. "It was a dream about you."
|
|
"A sexual dream."
|
|
"Yes," he answered flatly.
|
|
"And because of how you felt about me in this dream, I felt you all
|
|
the way down the hall?"
|
|
"Yes. Even through several walls."
|
|
"I think I see." She was almost disappointed that her problem
|
|
would have such a mundane, clinical cause. "You're telling me that you
|
|
have discovered lust, and so I was acting on those impulses."
|
|
"No, not entirely."
|
|
"What do you mean?"
|
|
"It was not lust that triggered these impulses."
|
|
He averted his eyes. "I am afraid to go on."
|
|
"Data?"
|
|
And then she sensed it.
|
|
"Data, are you in love with me?"
|
|
He continued to look away. "Yes. I am."
|
|
"For how long?"
|
|
"I do not know. I know that when the Enterprise crashed on
|
|
Veridian III, and I sheltered you from the debris, my first instinct was to
|
|
protect you. I wanted and needed to know you were safe. Perhaps I have
|
|
always had feelings for you but could not identify them until I received the
|
|
emotion chip."
|
|
"Data."
|
|
She said it in an uncertain tone. He believed it to be one of
|
|
sympathy, and deduced that she did not share his feelings, and was
|
|
uncomfortable with his being there, now that she knew it was him who had
|
|
triggered the attacks.
|
|
"It was because I realized I was in love with you and desired you
|
|
that you began to sense me. I am sorry. I will go now, and you do not have
|
|
to worry about having those attacks again."
|
|
He stood to go. He did not want to be here when his heart broke.
|
|
"Data. Stop."
|
|
She slowly got to her feet, then cupped his face with her hands.
|
|
"Now that I know where these feelings are coming from, I'm not afraid of
|
|
them anymore."
|
|
"You are not?"
|
|
She shook her head. "And there's something else."
|
|
"What is that?"
|
|
She reached up and put her lips against his. She was surprised to
|
|
feel a slight layer of static electricity as she kissed him. It tickled.
|
|
After a moment, he returned the kiss, drawing her close to him with
|
|
soft firmness.
|
|
She felt him harden against her waist.
|
|
She broke off the kiss. "Do you want to make love to me?"
|
|
He nodded.
|
|
"Tasha told me you were fully functional."
|
|
"She told you of that? I thought she did not want anyone to know."
|
|
"She had to tell somebody. If there is one certainty about human
|
|
beings, it is that they must tell someone after they make love."
|
|
"Interesting. I wonder who I will tell."
|
|
She giggled, then unlaced the front of her nightgown. She slid the
|
|
garment off her shoulders, and it fell to the ground.
|
|
He looked at her, and felt moisture build up in his mouth. She
|
|
looked down at him and saw the swelling in his trousers. "I see the
|
|
subroutine is working just fine."
|
|
She stepped behind him and undid the fasteners on his tunic. She
|
|
took the garment off and began to caress his chest. "Data, you're as solid as
|
|
a rock, yet your skin is so supple,' she said.
|
|
He stepped back. "Is that a problem?"
|
|
She firmly shook her head no. She admired his golden skin. For a
|
|
moment, she dreamed she was about to make love to a god, a golden
|
|
champion. She then slid her hand down into his pants, cupping his organs.
|
|
"'Data!" she exclaimed. "How big are you?"
|
|
"I stand six-foot-one and weigh ..."
|
|
"No, silly," she explained, laughing, "I mean, how long is your
|
|
penis?"
|
|
"Nine inches,'" I replied.
|
|
"Nine?" she said with a tone Data identified as apprehension.
|
|
"Is that too much?"
|
|
"No," she replied, "But it is more than I have ever had before." She
|
|
lowered herself to her knees and undid the coupler of his trousers and slid
|
|
them down. Dr. Soong had done excellent work, Troi thought. It looked
|
|
like a human penis, but there was no hair around its base. She grasped it
|
|
gently, feeling the smooth synthetic skin. "How does that feel?"
|
|
"It feels ... pleasurable."
|
|
She was a little disappointed by his reaction. "Is that all?"
|
|
"I am sorry. This is my first sexual experience since receiving my
|
|
emotion chip. I am not familiar with the sensations and have difficulty
|
|
expressing them."
|
|
She smiled at the thought that, in reality, despite what he had done
|
|
with Tasha, this was really his first time. Data was a virgin.
|
|
"Data, don't analyze. Just react." On an impulse, she kissed the tip
|
|
of his organ.
|
|
"I like that," he said, instantly.
|
|
She looked up at him, smiling. She leaned forward and kissed the
|
|
bare pubic area at the base, then slid her tongue up the length of his penis.
|
|
"I am ... enjoying this." His voice cracked at the last part of the
|
|
sentence.
|
|
She stroked his penis again, running her hand over its length a
|
|
couple of times, then she pursed her lips and took the head into her mouth.
|
|
Again she felt a buzz of electricity, and she enjoyed it. She took just the
|
|
head into her mouth, then withdrew.
|
|
"Please do that again."
|
|
"Do what again?"
|
|
"Put my penis in your mouth."
|
|
"Data, it would increase my pleasure if you could use some
|
|
different terminology, to add to the atmosphere of the moment."
|
|
"For example?"
|
|
"Tell me to suck your cock."
|
|
"Oh, I see. You wish me to use slang terminology for our organs to
|
|
informalize out actions, such as dick, John Thomas, pecker, bishop, salami
|
|
..."
|
|
"Data!" She said, trying to sound exasperated but really trying to
|
|
keep from laughing.
|
|
He looked at her. "I am sorry. Please suck my cock."
|
|
"That's better." She put her mouth back on his organ, sliding her
|
|
tongue around it like a piece of candy.
|
|
Instinctively, he began moving his hips forward. Again, he thought,
|
|
a subroutine was kicking in. He reached down and held on to her head.
|
|
stroking her hair.
|
|
She tried to take in as much as she could, but she could only put
|
|
about half his length into her mouth. She reached around and caressed his
|
|
buttocks as she continued sucking.
|
|
Data's breathing increased. His mouth was closed, so he began
|
|
uttering moaning noises. He began to move his body as if he were making
|
|
love to her mouth.
|
|
"Please do not stop. I am close to orgasm."
|
|
Deanna reached down and began to stroke her vagina as she
|
|
continued to swallow him. She moaned around his organ.
|
|
"Mmmm. Yes. Do not stop. I am about to ... YES! OH, FUCK!
|
|
YES!"
|
|
She felt his organ expand slightly, then the rush of warm fluid fill
|
|
her mouth. She was surprised it tasted like peppermint and had the feel of
|
|
syrup.
|
|
She licked her lips to get all of the delicious fluid she could get.
|
|
His
|
|
erection did not go away.
|
|
She got to her feet, then kissed him, running her hands across his
|
|
back down to his soft buttocks.
|
|
"What was that?"
|
|
"What?"
|
|
"Your screaming. And your orgasm?"
|
|
"I believe the screaming is part of my emotional programming. It
|
|
allows me to have profane reactions to extreme situations."
|
|
She remembered his uncharacteristic "Oh, shit!" during the Veridian
|
|
III crash.
|
|
"As far as my orgasm goes, I believe my father wanted my sexual
|
|
partners to have as pleasant an experience as possible, so he installed a
|
|
device to manufacture a pleasant tasting fluid to simulate semen."
|
|
She began kissing his neck. "I never truly appreciated what a genius
|
|
your father was until right now."
|
|
Data decided he needed to begin the lovemaking ritual. Quickly, he
|
|
picked her up and carried her to her bed, dropping her onto the mattress.
|
|
She squealed at his impulsiveness. He then got into bed next to her, and
|
|
began to sing.
|
|
"Oh, my love. My darling. I hunger for your ..."
|
|
"Data, what are you doing?"
|
|
"I am quoting ancient Earth poetry. I have decided to utilize the
|
|
techniques of fabled 20th century lovers in this session. Beatty. Swayze.
|
|
Prince Charles."
|
|
Troi cupped his mouth with her hand. "Oh, no you don't. I want
|
|
you to make love to me, not a dozen men."
|
|
"Fifteen."
|
|
She pulled him to her, laughing. "Just do whatever it is you want to
|
|
do."
|
|
He nodded, remembering his dream. He kissed her on the lips, then
|
|
traced his tongue down to her breasts. He moved his hands to them, giving
|
|
then gentle squeezes as he continued to kiss the soft white skin. He nuzzled
|
|
the cavity between them with his nose, then moved his lips to take in the
|
|
darkened nipple of her left breast.
|
|
"Suck me, Data. Please." She took his head in her hands, roping her
|
|
fingers through his hair.
|
|
"As you wish." He spread her puffy outer lips with his hands,
|
|
exposing the pinkish interior, open and awaiting his attack. He nuzzled it
|
|
first with his nose, taking in the smells as well as the moist warmth of her
|
|
body. It was a perfumed smell, intoxicating him. He gave her a soft kiss,
|
|
then another, then traced the perimeter of her opening with his lips.
|
|
"You're driving me crazy. Lick me, Data. Please."
|
|
"In time." A sudden though struck him. "Please turn over."
|
|
"What?"
|
|
"Trust me."
|
|
She rolled over on her front. He raised himself up, straddling her
|
|
body, his erectness resting in the soft crack of her buttocks.
|
|
He put his hands on her shoulder blades, and she jumped.
|
|
"Data!" she squealed. "What was that?"
|
|
"A soft magnetic pulse. Observe."
|
|
He moved his hands over her back, keeping up a steady current of
|
|
energy moving.
|
|
"Mmmmm," Troi moaned. "That feels so good. I feel as if my
|
|
muscles are melting."
|
|
"Good." He moved his hands up and down her spine until he sensed
|
|
she was completely relaxed. He then shifted back, raised her hips into the
|
|
air, then gently pushed her legs apart. She offered no resistance. He sat on
|
|
his knees on the floor next to the bed. He then inserted the index finger of
|
|
his right hand inside her.
|
|
"Oh, gods. Oh. That feels good."
|
|
Data then added his middle finger, pumping them in and out of her
|
|
vagina.
|
|
"Ooooh, that's right. That's sooo good."
|
|
He put his left hand on her buttock, sliding his finger up and down
|
|
the cleft that separated them. He went down as far as her vagina, gathering
|
|
up the fluids on his index finger.
|
|
"What are you doing?" she asked.
|
|
"Preparing a surprise." He looked at the soft flesh in his hands, then
|
|
worked the finger past the muscular ring of her anus.
|
|
"Ohhhh," Troi moaned as she felt his penetration. "Now I know
|
|
why you were softening me up."
|
|
Data worked both hands, alternating between her two openings. In,
|
|
out, in out. He held his finger inside her anus now as he continued to
|
|
finger-fuck her. He wiggled his finger, sending sensations up her insides,
|
|
forcing a moan from her lips.
|
|
Troi grasped at the sheets. She had never felt a sensation like this
|
|
before. Never simultaneously. She had thought she would have to teach
|
|
Data all about lovemaking, but the pupil was not teaching her a few things.
|
|
Data now coordinated his hands, sliding his hands inside her
|
|
simultaneously. She humped back against his hand, trying to draw in as
|
|
much of his fingers as she could.
|
|
"Oh, fuck me, Data. Fuck me. Fuck my ass. Harder, harder. Give it
|
|
to me. Ooooh!"
|
|
He worked his hands faster, giving her no time to rest between
|
|
strokes. She now held still, savoring each movement of his hands, letting
|
|
them drive her head into the mattress.
|
|
She was crying now, the pleasure too much for her to take. She felt
|
|
her orgasm build. She gave no thought to trying to hold it back. She
|
|
screamed at the sensation overtook her, beating her fists on the bed,
|
|
shouting, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" at each of his strokes. Then right on top of her
|
|
explosion, another. She struggled to catch her breath, now unable to form
|
|
words. She felt the world close in on her field of vision. She was passing
|
|
out from the pleasure. The orgasm ripped through her, sapping what little
|
|
energy she had left. She collapsed onto the bed, totally spent, the bed damp
|
|
from her juices and her sweat.
|
|
Data lay next to her. She draped her arm over him.
|
|
"Am I to take it that you enjoyed that?"
|
|
She weakly raised her head to look at him. "Are you joking?"
|
|
"Quite possibly."
|
|
She lightly slapped his cheek, then kissed him, sliding her tongue
|
|
past his lips, and finding his tongue playing back at her, pushing it gently
|
|
away, then circling around it.
|
|
She broke the kiss. "Where did you learn that?"
|
|
"From Tasha. I hope you do not mind. She instructed me how to
|
|
perform that act. She called it 'Attack on Two Fronts.'"
|
|
"I don't care what you call it. Just don't forget how to do it." She
|
|
looked down at his still erect organ. "You're still hard."
|
|
"Yes. I believe I will remain in this state until we consummate our
|
|
lovemaking."
|
|
"Oh," she giggled. "Well, how would you like to do it? On top?"
|
|
"I think that would be unwise. My weight precludes the missionary
|
|
position. As Tasha said to me, I think you're going to have to drive."
|
|
Troi smiled, then rolled over onto Data, straddling his midriff. She
|
|
placed her knees against his body, feeling his penis against her anus, still
|
|
tingling from his actions. She raised herself up, guiding the nine-inch organ
|
|
toward her opening. Even with his intrusion, even with the generous
|
|
amount of fluid her orgasm had produced, she had not loosened up enough
|
|
to take it all at once. She slowly slipped the head past her pussy lips,
|
|
savoring the feel of the rod sliding past her sensitive clitoris.
|
|
She bobbed up and down, letting her adjust to his length. She still
|
|
wasn't sure she would be able to take it all, but she was determined to try.
|
|
She looked down at Data. His mouth was moving, but no sound
|
|
was coming out. His gold eyes were concentrating on their union. He was
|
|
clearly fascinated by what they were doing.
|
|
She was taking in about half of his organ now, sliding up and down,
|
|
savoring the friction of the ridge of his cockhead against her soft insides.
|
|
Means began to emerge from her lips.
|
|
Data moved his hands to her hips, guiding her as she began to
|
|
quicken her strokes.
|
|
Suddenly, she forced herself down on his cock, feeling it penetrate
|
|
areas she had never felt before. She had never felt so full. She sat like that
|
|
for a moment, then with the full length inside her, she leaned forward,
|
|
pinning his shoulders with her hands.
|
|
"That feels good," Data said, his voice cracking.
|
|
She said nothing, returning to the work of sliding her body up and
|
|
down his pole. She began with long, slow strokes, but then she quickened
|
|
the pulse. Data matched her actions, withdrawing his organ as she moved
|
|
away from him, slamming it back into her as she pushed back.
|
|
She grunted with their movements, each filling of her pussy forcing
|
|
a grunt out of her. She felt another orgasm building inside her.
|
|
"I am close to orgasm," Data said, thrusting inside her faster now.
|
|
"Hold on, I want to come with you."
|
|
She moved faster and faster, knowing that it was only a matter of
|
|
time before he exploded.
|
|
"I am ready," Data half-shouted.
|
|
"YES! YES!" Deanna screamed, letting her body release a flood of
|
|
sensation. She planted her lips on Data's as she screamed her orgasm. Her
|
|
sensation was heightened with the warm rush of his orgasm flooding her
|
|
insides. She felt as if a river had broken loose inside her, rushing from
|
|
between her legs, all over their bodies.
|
|
She felt his organ soften. She massaged it with her vaginal muscles,
|
|
extending its withdrawal, until she finally felt it slip from between her
|
|
legs.
|
|
She stay on top of him, resting her head on his shoulder, stroking
|
|
her fingernails gently across his midsection. She felt peaceful, basking in
|
|
the affection she felt coming from Data.
|
|
This was different than Will, who always felt like he had to outdo
|
|
their last encounter. And it was different than Worf and his rough ways.
|
|
She realized that this was the first time she had made love on her own
|
|
terms, where she did what she wanted and willingly did what her lover
|
|
wanted her to do.
|
|
"I've never been so satisfied," she said, tracing the outline of his
|
|
nipple with her nail.
|
|
"I am glad you enjoyed our sexual encounter."
|
|
"I don't mean just that. I've never been with a lover like you. I feel
|
|
your emotions, and they are the purest I have ever felt. I could become
|
|
addicted to them."
|
|
He reached up and stroked her hair, and began to speak softly.
|
|
|
|
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
|
|
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
|
|
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
|
|
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
|
|
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
|
|
And often his cold complexion dimmed,
|
|
And every fair to fair sometime declines,
|
|
By chance of nature's changing course untrimmed;
|
|
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
|
|
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st
|
|
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade
|
|
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
|
|
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see
|
|
So long lives this, and gives life to thee.
|
|
|
|
She raised herself up to look in his eyes. "That was lovely."
|
|
"It was one of the sonnets I did not understand. I believe that I now
|
|
comprehend the author's intent."
|
|
"You do?"
|
|
"Yes. I love you, Deanna."
|
|
She sensed that he truly did.
|
|
"And whatever course our lives take, I will love you always."
|
|
She kissed his lips. "I love you." She looked down at him. "Are you
|

|
|
"Oh, I just thought perhaps in the middle of the night I might be
|
|
pounding on your chest, and I didn't want to disturb you."
|
|
"I see. Good night, Deanna. Pleasant dreams."
|
|
"I'm sure they will be."
