Tom Paris took a deep breath and wondered how the hell he'd
|
|
managed to do it again. Nothing was ever simple, hadn't been since
|
|
he'd gotten tanked one time too many over one argument with one
|
|
girlfriend too many, and killed three of his friends. Probably
|
|
even since before then, since the first time he realized he'd
|
|
never, ever measure up to his oversized hero of a father. "Only
|
|
the best." He'd heard the motto so many times he thought he'd puke
|
|
whenever he thought about it. And always falling short, never
|
|
quite making the grade, good thing he was such a shit hot pilot
|
|
'cause he couldn't do another goddamned thing right -- his fevered
|
|
thoughts finally gave him the last bit of push he needed to break
|
|
through the fall of metal and rock blocking the passageway. He
|
|
didn't dare use his phaser to burst through the barrier, didn't
|
|
know where B'Elanna was on the other side and didn't want to risk
|
|
hitting her with any sort of energy ricochet if she had somehow
|
|
managed to make it through the initial avalanche unscathed. The
|
|
jolt under his feet had knocked him to the side, the earthquake
|
|
taking them completely unprepared, but Chief Engineer Torres and
|
|
her frigging precious crystal detectors had been caught in the
|
|
worst of it. Now for some reason he hadn't had time to figure out,
|
|
not that he probably could, he wasn't a damned electrician, his
|
|
communicator wasn't working and she hadn't made any noise and he
|
|
wasn't sure if she was even still alive and deep inside he just
|
|
knew that this was his fault too--
|
|
"Paris?"
|
|
His knees actually swayed with relief at the gruff bark,
|
|
weaker than he was used to hearing but half-Klingon nonetheless.
|
|
He couldn't see anything in the darkness through the small hole,
|
|
but she didn't sound completely healthy.
|
|
"Torres? You okay in there?" Where the hell are you? He
|
|
didn't want to say it, didn't want to admit he felt as helpless as
|
|
he did.
|
|
"No, you fucking moron, I'm not okay!"
|
|
Now, that sounded more like Torres.
|
|
"I'm getting there!"
|
|
"Get help, damnit!" She sounded exasperated, but also fuzzy,
|
|
as if she were in more pain than she wanted him to realize.
|
|
"There seems to be some sort of interference." His breath
|
|
caught in little puffs from the exertion of widening the hole, but
|
|
he was compelled to keep trying. He'd prided himself on being in
|
|
shape, but some of those rocks were heavier than they looked.
|
|
She didn't respond, and he began to work faster, ignoring
|
|
complaining muscles and shifting debris in an almost obsessed drive
|
|
to get through to her. Running through his mind was the
|
|
determination to get to her, not to lose her like he'd lost others,
|
|
before. He wasn't about to let this one down, if he killed himself
|
|
in the process.
|
|
With a grunt, he tore the last of the larger rock fragments
|
|
out of the way and pushed his head and shoulders through the hole.
|
|
His eyes were becoming adjusted to the inky blackness, and he could
|
|
make out a female form huddled in a graceless mass on the edge of
|
|
the newly-created cave. Struggling to free himself, he felt the
|
|
wall around him shift, and an answering sinking in his gut.
|
|
Hurriedly he pushed the rest of his body through the opening,
|
|
sliding to a halt on the floor, his legs curled up underneath him.
|
|
Pushing himself to his feet, he moved across the floor toward
|
|
B'Elanna, when the rumbling noise started again and the world
|
|
tilted on its axis. Crying out incoherently, he threw his body
|
|
over her still form, tucking her head under his chest, feeling the
|
|
warm chuff of her breath on his throat before a sharp pain knocked
|
|
the present away from him.
|
|
|
|
*****************************************************
|
|
|
|
B'Elanna Torres was a warrior. Her Klingon mother had tried
|
|
to instill within her all the proper patterns of honor and fighting
|
|
skill, before deciding that she had too much of her Human father in
|
|
her blood, and washing her hands of her. But the early lessons
|
|
hadn't been wasted. Sitting in the murky darkness, trying to make
|
|
some contact with her crewmates, she refused to believe that they
|
|
were actually stranded. She knew Chakotay, trusted him in ways she
|
|
had never trusted anyone else, knew that he and the Captain would
|
|
find a way to get them out of this mess. Both of them.
|
|
She gave up trying to reconfigure the communicator to cut
|
|
through the low level electromagnetic noise that was rendering it
|
|
useless, confident that it wouldn't be very long before a rescue.
|
|
Their last known coordinates would serve as a good starting place
|
|
for the rescue team, although the same interference that was
|
|
bolluxing up the communicators would probably make transporters too
|
|
risky. She bit off a curse, knowing there was nothing to do but
|
|
wait but hating the feeling of helplessness the knowledge gave her.
|
|
She was not a patient person under the best of circumstances and
|
|
these were definitely not optimum conditions.
|
|
Paris. Of all people to end up stuck in a cave with, to be
|
|
here with the Pig made her teeth grind. True, when she came to
|
|
she'd been glad, momentarily, that he'd been on top of her. If he
|
|
hadn't, she'd have taken the chunk of rock that knocked him out
|
|
right between the eyes. But other than his being a Human shield,
|
|
he was a waste. Involuntarily, her eyes traced the lines of his
|
|
body, stretched out where she had laid him after she realized he
|
|
was unconscious. A well formed waste, with that odd Human flaxen
|
|
hair and those strange, alien bright blue eyes. Blue eyed blondes
|
|
were rare, unknown in fact on the Klingon world where she was
|
|
raised. She'd seen some blondes since joining the Maquis, but most
|
|
of them were cosmetically enhanced. She caught herself staring at
|
|
his chest, then his groin, wondering if all that golden hair was
|
|
natural. And how far down it went. Abruptly pulling herself from
|
|
her reverie, she put her hand tentatively to her throat. She felt
|
|
oddly flushed, and her skin was warm, but she couldn't believe that
|
|
it was with arousal. Not for Paris. Young Kim, perhaps, she found
|
|
him appealing in a little-boy sort of way, but Paris? His ego and
|
|
his callous attitude toward females was too hard for her to accept.
|
|
And she never had liked skinny Humans. Gradually, her eyes drifted
|
|
back to Tom's legs, splayed slightly where she'd rolled him off,
|
|
one leg gently flexed, the muscle smoothly stretched from his knee
|
|
along his thigh. Not really aware of her actions, preoccupied with
|
|
the fever beginning to buzz in her blood, she shifted closer to him
|
|
and continued her study. A slice of smile curved her lips, and her
|
|
skin continued to heat.
|
|
|
|
******************************************************
|
|
|
|
"Any luck, Mr. Kim? Mr. Tuvok?" Captain Janeway's voice cut
|
|
through the tension on the bridge, steady and hard, not showing her
|
|
fear that they, no, she had lost two members of their crew.
|
|
"No, Captain, not yet," came Harry Kim's frustrated reply,
|
|
followed closely by the calm tones of the Vulcan.
|
|
"The interference pattern is shifting at irregular intervals,
|
|
Captain. We are as yet unable to lock on to their signals.
|
|
Communication is still not possible."
|
|
Chakotay and Janeway exchanged looks. Her worry and his
|
|
meshed as their emotions so often did, as they often found
|
|
themselves mirroring one another.
|
|
"Keep trying."
|
|
No one replied, but two heads bent even more determinedly to
|
|
two separate consoles. The captain and her first officer stared at
|
|
the viewscreen, willing it to yield up clues for their crewmen to
|
|
follow.
|
|
|
|
*********************************************************
|
|
|
|
What a weird noise. The thought popped up in Tom Paris's
|
|
fuzzy mind, pushing its way past the pain in the back of his head
|
|
until he finally forced his eyes to open and try top locate the
|
|
source of the trilling. The figure looming over him caused him to
|
|
start, instinctively rolling into a defensive position before he
|
|
realized it was B'Elanna. Relief at her apparent good health
|
|
warred with damaged pride at reacting so badly to her nearness, and
|
|
he snapped off a wisecrack to cover his embarrassment.
|
|
"Some sort of Klingon death ritual? Don't go getting excited,
|
|
Torres, I'm not dead yet!"
|
|
She didn't answer, only hummed a little softer and moved a bit
|
|
closer. In the dim light of the cave he could see an odd gleam in
|
|
her eyes. If she had been anyone else, he would have sworn it was
|
|
predatory. On her, it looked ... almost feral.
|
|
"Um, Torres?" His uncertainty showed in a not-quite-steady
|
|
voice. "You okay?"
|
|
She swayed toward him, like a snake in her sinuous movements,
|
|
then slowly collapsed across his lap. He sat still with shock for
|
|
a split second before reaching behind him for the medical tricorder
|
|
Janeway had ordered him to bring along. Snapping it open with a
|
|
muffled curse, he ran it over her supine body and tried to remember
|
|
what the obnoxious holodoctor had told him about interpreting the
|
|
readings. With a short "sunuvabitch!" he realized he was holding
|
|
it upside down and reversed it. Unfortunately, the readings didn't
|
|
make any more sense to him that way than they had before.
|
|
"Why did she do this to me? I'm no fucking medic!" It was
|
|
almost a prayer. "I'm a pilot! That's all!" He gently lifted
|
|
B'Elanna into a sitting position, wincing as her unexpectedly heavy
|
|
mass pulled sore muscles in his back. "C'mon, Torres, wake up. I
|
|
don't know what the hell I'm doing, you know that!"
|
|
She stirred slightly, but didn't fully awaken. He shifted her
|
|
until her head rested comfortably against his shoulder, adjusting
|
|
to the angular Klingon musculature, wishing he were bulkier. Not
|
|
for the first time, he wished he was built like Chakotay. Trying
|
|
the tricorder one more time, he remembered how to match the
|
|
readings it currently showed with the profile stored in it's
|
|
memory. The only differences he could make out were slightly
|
|
elevated hormonal levels, an elevated body temperature, and
|
|
increased adrenalin.
|
|
"Great. Now what the hell is that supposed to mean? The
|
|
flu?" He muttered between his teeth as he racked his brain to
|
|
figure out what was wrong with her and how he was supposed to fix
|
|
it. Looking up from the little instrument panel, he was shocked to
|
|
find himself looking directly into her fever bright eyes. Perhaps
|
|
it was whatever strange illness she had that was causing the
|
|
effect, but her eyes looked enormous in the half light. He was
|
|
really starting to feel concerned about her.
|
|
She brought her left hand up across his chest, sliding it
|
|
firmly across the firm surface of his muscles, testing the flesh
|
|
with her palm. He looked back at the readings, noticing a peak in
|
|
her body temperature, and increased pulse rate. This was not good.
|
|
Without any warning, her right arm whipped out to brace against the
|
|
wall behind his back, and the fingers of her left hand speared
|
|
through his hair, pulling his head back.
|
|
"Shit! I'm not the enemy, Torres!" He tried to bring his
|
|
arms up to break her hold, fearing in her fever that she was
|
|
reverting to her "Maquis versus Federation" mindset. The LAST
|
|
thing he wanted was for an out-of-her-head Klingon to rip his head
|
|
off, then try to apologize for it later. He managed to get his
|
|
hands up, but was unable to break her hold. At the same time, he
|
|
twisted underneath her, trying to buck her off and put some
|
|
distance between them. She growled, sounding strangely delighted,
|
|
and he felt her teeth close on the skin at the side of his neck.
|
|
The sharp jolt of pain caused him to buck in earnest, more
|
|
frightened than he would care to admit, but she was stronger than
|
|
he and held him easily. He felt the slight trickle of blood seep
|
|
into the collar of his uniform and went abruptly still, fearing any
|
|
further movement would cause her to hurt him even more. To his
|
|
intense shock, she released her hold and lapped at his skin, the
|
|
roughness of her tongue causing him to shiver.
|
|
"Uhhm, Torres?" Softly. Didn't want to startle her. She'd
|
|
probably break his neck with her teeth, like a terrier killing a
|
|
rat. "B'Elanna?"
|
|
"Mmm?" she purred against the side of his throat. He
|
|
swallowed heavily, and she traced the movement with her lips. He
|
|
was completely confused now, knowing she was ill, but not knowing
|
|
quite what to do about it. Worse, her actions were causing an
|
|
unwilling arousal, and he just knew if she felt his erection she
|
|
was definitely going to kill him for taking advantage of her fever.
|
|
The fact that he was pinned down and she was the one making all the
|
|
moves wouldn't matter, he knew. It would be a matter of honor, and
|
|
he'd get the short end of the stick. She'd probably challenge him
|
|
to some sort of Klingon death dance or something and mop the floor
|
|
with him. He shivered again, but not from anything pleasant.
|
|
Images of his broken body under her booted foot loosened his tongue
|
|
again, and almost distracted him from the sensation of her hand
|
|
tugging at his hair, caressing his scalp, the imprint of her body
|
|
holding his against the wall of the cave. Almost, but not quite.
|
|
"B'Elanna?" A little more loudly, trying to get her
|
|
attention. "You ... um, you don't know what you're doing, here.
|
|
You're ... sick, y'know? This is Paris, B'Elanna. You despise me,
|
|
remember? Can't stand me. Think I'm a pig. Right?" His voice
|
|
gradually grew tighter and fainter, as she pressed closer to him,
|
|
rubbing the tips of her breasts across his chest, leaving a trail
|
|
of fire in their wake. Her nipples were already hard, and they
|
|
drew an answering response from him. He inhaled sharply, and her
|
|
scent went straight to his crotch, making him even harder and
|
|
upsetting his already tenuous grip on reality. He couldn't believe
|
|
this was happening, and was afraid at any minute she'd come to her
|
|
senses and tear him apart. The thought softened him somewhat and
|
|
strengthened his resolve to save her (and himself) from her
|
|
unexpected lust. He didn't want to deal with the aftermath if he
|
|
let this go any farther.
|
|
Leaning against him fully, she drew her right arm away from
|
|
the wall and began to knead the muscles in his shoulder, then down
|
|
the curve of his back, pulling him up to her, continuing to hold
|
|
his head back with her other hand. Burying her face in his throat,
|
|
licking and nipping the tender skin along the side of his neck and
|
|
following the tendon down to the hollow of his collarbone, she
|
|
finally stopped her exploration at his buttock, digging her fingers
|
|
into the muscle. That was his cue. Ignoring the erection that
|
|
demanded he respond in kind, he flipped B'Elanna onto her side,
|
|
dislodging himself from her hold and rolling away from her grasping
|
|
hands. Now there was pain in his scalp, from wrenching her hand
|
|
from his hair, to match the pain in his neck where she'd bitten
|
|
him, but at least he had a little distance. Maybe he could get her
|
|
to listen to him.
|
|
"Torres!" he snapped authoritatively, hoping command voice
|
|
would get her attention. It didn't -- his command voice wasn't
|
|
really all that commanding. She came at him in a crouch, like a
|
|
street fighter, and he had to twist like an eel to escape her
|
|
outstretched hands. She growled low in her throat, and he looked
|
|
frantically around for a way out. They continued the dance, she
|
|
lunging and he twisting away, as he tried to reason her out of her
|
|
madness.
|
|
"Look. It's ME! Okay, B'Elanna? PARIS! What the hell is
|
|
wrong with you? You don't want me! If you do this, if WE do this,
|
|
you're gonna come out of it, and you're rip my fuckin' head off,
|
|
and you're gonna HAND it to me on a friggin' PLATTER, Torres!" She
|
|
nearly got him then, and he whimpered a little as she ripped the
|
|
sleeve off his uniform. She laughed, a soft coughing noise like a
|
|
wild cat might make, and he found himself cornered. Looking wildly
|
|
around for an escape, any escape, he made one final effort to get
|
|
her back to reality. "You do not WANT this, B'El-mmmph!"
|
|
She tackled him neatly, rolling him to lie spread eagled on
|
|
his back, her heels pinning his legs to the dirt, her hands holding
|
|
his wrists, her tongue in his mouth cutting off the endless stream
|
|
of words that was beginning to annoy her. Raising her head
|
|
briefly, she growled at him. "You talk too damned much."
|
|
He looked up at her wild eyes and sharp teeth, bared in a
|
|
victorious grin, and gulped. The air in the cave felt cold on his
|
|
skin as she ripped the uniform away from his chest, leaving a faint
|
|
burn on the back of his neck where the material in the turtleneck
|
|
gave way. He stopped struggling then, knowing she was stronger
|
|
than he, still not quite believing she was doing ... what she was
|
|
doing. Which at that moment was nuzzling his chest hair and
|
|
whispering something that sounded oddly like "All the way down."
|
|
She slowly pulled his arms over his head, and he resisted
|
|
passively, not helping her, not wanting her to be able to accuse
|
|
him of being a willing partner in this. Trying to cover his ass in
|
|
any small way he could. Not that he thought it would help, in the
|
|
end. She'd find some way to blame him. Then she'd cut off his
|
|
balls and hand them to him. He just knew it. As she gathered both
|
|
of his wrists in one hand and proceeded to tear off the rest of his
|
|
uniform blouse, he actually heard himself whimper. She heard it
|
|
too, and chuckled. With no wasted movement, she opened her own
|
|
blouse and lowered her torso to his, rubbing her breasts along his
|
|
chest and growling softly, low in her throat. He responded to her
|
|
nearness, the unexpected softness of her skin, her undeniable
|
|
control of his body. It wasn't a sensation he was used to, and in
|
|
fact, while his reputation said otherwise, he hadn't had sex since
|
|
before being hauled off to the New Zealand penal colony. The
|
|
combination of abstinence and sensual woman finally overcame his
|
|
fear, and he thrust his hips up to meet the juncture of hers. She
|
|
laughed aloud at his movements, and ground her sex over the hard
|
|
ridge of his.
|
|
Keeping his hands firmly in place, she reached down between
|
|
their bodies to slide her fingers over his penis through the soft
|
|
material of his uniform. He groaned, involuntarily thrusting to
|
|
meet her touch, and she rewarded his impatience with a sharp
|
|
squeeze that elicited a gasp from him. His wide eyed gaze met
|
|
hers, and she slid her hand back over him, tracing the ridges with
|
|
her fingertips, pressing just hard enough to send goosebumps over
|
|
his skin. Cupping his sac, she whispered, "Want this?" All he
|
|
could do to reply was nod his head shakily. She continued her slow
|
|
torture, slipping open his fly and pulling his flesh free to give
|
|
herself greater access to him. She covered his face with little
|
|
licking kisses, dipping her tongue between his lips, then licking
|
|
his eyelids closed, nibbling along his jawline, tugging on his
|
|
earlobe with her sharp teeth. All the while her hand continued its
|
|
work, sliding his foreskin over the head of his penis, pumping the
|
|
shaft firmly then pulling back, bringing him to the brink of orgasm
|
|
then squeezing him tightly to stop it. He was moaning continuously
|
|
now, trying blindly to meet her questing mouth, pulling against her
|
|
hold in vain, wanting desperately to caress her as she was
|
|
caressing him. She ground her wet vagina against his thigh,
|
|
stimulating her clit on his hard muscle but not giving him the
|
|
satisfaction of touching her, of making her lose control as she was
|
|
forcing him to do, asserting her mastery over his body. Fever sang
|
|
through her blood and clouded her mind, and his movements
|
|
underneath her fed a need she had never felt before.
|
|
|

***************************************************
|
|
"I've found them!"
|
|
Janeway whirled at Kim's triumphant words, and she threw a
|
|
quick grin over her shoulder at Chakotay. He smiled in return,
|
|
hope springing to his normally calm eyes.
|
|
"Unfortunately, Captain, we still have no way to transport
|
|
them to the ship. The field fluctuations are still too irregular
|
|
to allow our instruments to get a solid lock." Tuvok's deadpan
|
|
voice dampened their enthusiasm, but not much.
|
|
"At least we know where they are." Janeway's tone
|
|
congratulated Harry.
|
|
And that they're alive, thought Chakotay, but he didn't say it
|
|
aloud. "Can you ascertain their condition, Mr. Kim?"
|
|
"I can do better than that, sir. We can't get a communicator
|
|
link through all the interference, but we can get a visual." Harry
|
|
was anxious to make sure his friend Paris was in one piece. And
|
|
more concerned than he'd care to admit about B'Elanna.
|
|
"Do so, Harry. Let's make sure they're all right." Janeway
|
|
turned back to the screen, but couldn't make out the picture
|
|
clearly through the snowy interference and the dark background.
|
|
"Can you clean that up any?"
|
|
Tuvok went to work at his console, and the picture was
|
|
abruptly clear. Every figure on the Bridge went still, and nothing
|
|
broke the complete silence for several moments.
|
|
When she did manage to find her voice, it sounded strangled.
|
|
"Mr. Kim, break the connection. Now."
|
|
"I'm ... trying, Captain." He sounded miserable, and utterly
|
|
embarrassed. "It's..."
|
|
She finally managed to tear her eyes from the bizarre sight of
|
|
Tom Paris fighting B'Elanna for his virtue, and losing, to stare at
|
|
her communications officer. His skin was fiery red, and he was
|
|
working furiously at his keypad.
|
|
"I didn't hear you, Ensign."
|
|
"It's stuck!" he blurted, looking up involuntarily at the
|
|
screen before blanching and gluing his eyes back on his work.
|
|
"It's stuck!" The reiteration was a forlorn wail.
|
|
"This I DON'T believe," Chakotay whistled. Then he surprised
|
|
everyone by beginning to laugh. Janeway hurried over to him and
|
|
grasped his arm.
|
|
"What is so funny about this, Chakotay?" she demanded, waving
|
|
over her shoulder at the two figures writhing in the semidarkness
|
|
of the cave.
|
|
"Well, I'm not going to owe him my life anymore," he managed
|
|
to reply before losing his battle with his laughter. "'Cause
|
|
somebody's going to have to keep B'Elanna from ripping his head
|
|
off, and I have a feeling it's going to be me!"
|
|
She held his bright gaze for a moment before the humor of the
|
|
situation struck her, than began to giggle. Taking a deep breath
|
|
to try and control herself, she ordered Tuvok, "Send a rescue crew
|
|
down there, Mr. Tuvok, to dig our little lovebirds out." As he
|
|
reached for the button to call the crew she raised a hand.
|
|
"Tomorrow, Tuvok. And, have them dig slowly." He quirked a brow
|
|
at her but made no comment other than a dignified nod.
|
|
Harry continued to work frantically to cut the connection,
|
|
while Chakotay and Captain Janeway carefully didn't look at the
|
|
screen. Instead, they sat side by side and fought the giggles.
|
|
|
|
*****************************************************
|
|
|
|
By now he was begging her, nearly incoherently, to let him in.
|
|
She was close to losing control herself, and she shrugged out of
|
|
the remains of her uniform. The lengths of their legs entangled,
|
|
smooth skin rubbing against lightly furred, and the added sensation
|
|
leant an urgency to her movements that matched his. Swinging her
|
|
leg over his hips, she positioned herself over him and slowly
|
|
lowered herself onto his shaft, filling herself at her own pace,
|
|
ignoring his pleas. He held perfectly still, too close to orgasm
|
|
to do anything else, needing to have it end but never wanting it to
|
|
stop. For long moments she sat perfectly still, milking gently
|
|
with her internal muscles, driving him beyond his limitations,
|
|
taking them both beyond anything they'd ever felt before. At last
|
|
he couldn't hold back any longer, and he bucked underneath her,
|
|
forcing her into a rhythm in time with the pulse roaring in his
|
|
head. She finally released his wrists, sliding her hands down his
|
|
arms, burrowing one hand into his chest hair to tease a nipple,
|
|
reaching behind her with the other to scratch his inner thigh with
|
|
her nails, to cup his sac and roll his testicles between her
|
|
fingers, sending him over the edge. His hands move of their own
|
|
volition to her breasts, squeezing and kneading as he exploded in
|
|
her. He shouted something as he came, he didn't know what, didn't
|
|
hear the Sassenach war cry bred into him, but she heard it and
|
|
smiled. More to this Human than she'd thought, as she continued to
|
|
ride him, guiding his hand down to her clit, moving his fingers
|
|
under hers until she joined him with an explosive climax of her
|
|
own. Shudders ran up and down her spine, and she slowly curled
|
|
over until she lay against his chest, still linked, exhausted.
|
|
He felt her breathing even out against the side of his face,
|
|
and gradually felt the thunder of his heartbeat slow to a more
|
|
normal pace. Perhaps it was the length of time it had been since
|
|
he'd last had sex, but he was not through, and he felt himself grow
|
|
harder, still inside her. But this time, they'd do it HIS way.
|
|
B'Elanna wasn't quite asleep, more like drifting off into
|
|
sleep, when she felt herself gently rolled onto her back. Paris
|
|
slowly withdrew from her, and she murmured a protest at the loss of
|
|
his warmth and fullness. Featherlight touches on her forehead
|
|
ridges and along her chest, lightly across her full breasts, toying
|
|
for a bare moment with her nipples before drawing along the edges
|
|
of her ribs began to awaken her. She opened her eyes when the
|
|
touches settled around her hips, and then tried to sit up just as
|
|
she felt the first touch of his lips at the curve of her stomach.
|
|
Then they trailed loser, and his hands left her hips to hold her
|
|
open to his questing tongue. The jolt of sensation when he whirled
|
|
the tip of his tongue around her clitoris threw her head back, and
|
|
all thoughts of stopping him flew from her mind. He moved over her
|
|
with long, deep strokes of his tongue, alternating with short
|
|
flicks at her most sensitive spots, until she lost track of
|
|
everything except the way his mouth felt on her opening, the
|
|
stabbing motions he made with the tip of his tongue, the firm
|
|
kneading of his fingers on her thighs. He raised his head to look
|
|
at her, his arousal heightened by the intense look on her face.
|
|
Slipping two, then three fingers into her vagina, he rotated his
|
|
thumb over her clit and moved over her to meet her open mouth with
|
|
his. She moaned into his mouth, tasting their combined juices, and
|
|
put her arms around his shoulders, trying to touch all of him at
|
|
once.
|
|
He drew back slightly, allowing the barest cool breeze between
|
|
them before whispering close to her ear, "Slowly." She almost
|
|
didn't hear him over the blood rushing in her ears, in time with
|
|
the movements of his hand in and out of her. When she did realize
|
|
what he said, she opened her eyes to growl at him incredulously.
|
|
He smiled wickedly, and she reached forward to bite him gently on
|
|
the pec. He tasted so good she did it again, and he found himself
|
|
leaning into it. He'd never been into lovebites before, but then
|
|
B'Elanna was unlike anyone he'd ever had before. She began to pump
|
|
his hand, moving faster and harder, and he kept pace, bringing her
|
|
to another orgasm, less intense than the first but still enough to
|
|
send shivers through her frame. Without missing a beat, he slid
|
|
his hand from her and replaced it with his penis, thrusting into
|
|
her with controlled force, determined that he would take her with
|
|
him this time. They settled into a steady, driving rhythm, and she
|
|
drew his hand to her mouth, sucking his fingers one by one in at a
|
|
matching pace. His breathing quickened, and her eyes gleamed at
|
|
the signs of his impending climax. She snaked a hand behind him,
|
|
seeking the vulnerable line of his ass, probing delicately. His
|
|
eyes widened as her fingers pushed in, and an involuntary scream
|
|
rose to his lips.
|
|
"No fair! This was supposed to be slo-unhm..." His eyes
|
|
closed as she found his weakness, and pushed him too close to the
|
|
edge for any thought of restraint. In retaliation, his fingers
|
|
found her clit and rubbed hard, sending another jolt through her
|
|
that was echoed by his own. She reared up to meet his thrusts, her
|
|
teeth fastening in the flesh above his collarbone, his mouth
|
|
roaming along her throat and shoulder as the universe imploded
|
|
around them.
|
|
A long time later, she was staring into the darkness,
|
|
wondering how long it would be before she came to regret this --
|
|
and how long it would take to get rescued. Paris lay curled around
|
|
her, one leg curved over hers, his head pillowed on her breast.
|
|
She softly played with the short blonde curls at the nape of his
|
|
neck and wondered how the hell she was supposed to explain this to
|
|
him. It had taken her completely by surprise. She had thought she
|
|
wouldn't have to deal with this, since she was only half Klingon.
|
|
She'd gone through a normal adolescence, for a Human, and the
|
|
absence of any sort of mating frenzy in any of her previous
|
|
relationships had led her to think that there was one part of the
|
|
Klingon heritage she had managed to escape. Now, she could only
|
|
wonder at her rotten luck, that it should catch up to her in these
|
|
circumstances. She felt him stirring and sighed. This was going
|
|
to be ... embarrassing.
|
|
He slowly sat back from her, eventually looking up to meet her
|
|
eyes. At the seeming lack of hostility, he relaxed a little, but
|
|
not completely.
|
|
"So. Are you going to kill me, or just cut them off?" he
|
|
tried to sound like he was joking, but he was worried enough that
|
|
it rang through.
|
|
She met his clear sapphire eyes, and growled once, for show.
|
|
He swallowed, and she smiled coldly.
|
|
"It wasn't your fault." He started to perk up, and she
|
|
snarled at him. He watched her carefully. "Or mine. It was ...
|
|
a Klingon thing." He looked confused, and she sighed unhappily.
|
|
"Look. It was a mistake. It won't happen again." He started to
|
|
protest and she bared her teeth. He shut up and listened. "I
|
|
won't say anything. Neither will you." She paused significantly.
|
|
"Or it'll be the last sex you ever enjoy."
|
|
He whitened, and she knew the point had gone home.
|
|
"No one will ever know from me, B'Elanna."
|
|
"Torres."
|
|
"Hunh?" He looked startled.
|
|
"Torres, Paris. And just for the record..." he looked at her
|
|
defiantly, but not too defiantly, since she still could tear him
|
|
apart, "I don't think you're a pig." He smiled at her, and she
|
|
growled, "You just act like one."
|
|
They sat side by side in the darkness, trying to ignore what
|
|
had happened between them, and failing miserably. Each was only
|
|
comforted by the thought that no one else would ever know what had
|
|
happened there, for both their reputations' sakes.
|
|
The next morning, Commander Chakotay's face was the first they
|
|
saw as the rescue party broke through the landslide to dig them
|
|
out. Neither one knew why he kept laughing at odd moments, and he
|
|
wouldn't tell them. But the debriefing in the Captain's ready room
|
|
was one none of the participants would ever forget.
