Disclaimer: Paramount owns it all.

Note: Second in "The Taste of Honey" trilogy.  Reading the first "From
Bajor With Love" is advised, but by no means nessesary. It's also very
short, but hopefully short and sweet.

The door whooshed shut on Kira's quarters. She turned to face the man
she'd walked back with, Odo. He looked decidedly nervous.

"What's wrong, Odo?"

He swallowed, "Nothing . . . Well, it's just that . . ."

"What?" she urged.

"I've dreamt of this moment so many times and now that it's here I
just don't know what to do."

She smiled. Taking his hand and, leading him to the couch, sat down.
"What did you do then, in your dream?"

"I took you in my arms and kissed you," he said blushing.

"Then what did we do?" she said, leaning forward.

"We went into your bedroom . . ."

"And after?" she asked, moving further forward still.

"I woke up."

"Oh," she said, leaning straight back onto the couch.

"But this time I don't want to go to sleep," he said quietly, reaching
an hand out to touch her cheek.

And then he did something unexpected.  He pulled her closer and kissed
her, the merest touch of his lips sending shivers down Kira's spine.
This kiss was deepened.  Each demanding a taste of the other.

Slowly they parted and Kira opened her eyes, "I was right. You feel
like warm water, soft and reassuring.  But you taste better; you taste
of honey."
