The BLTS Archive- In The Fullness of Time #2: The Morning After by T'Lin (LinkyS@aol.com) --- Originally posted in the Sept./Oct. '99 issue of STRANGE FITS OF PASSION (http://www.strangefits.com/sfop/cover.html). If you go to my web site to read this story, you will also see the wonderful illistration - "Sweet" - by Olivia Montieth. This was not a conscience collaboration on our part ... merely a coincidence that both my story and her drawing were in the same issue of SFOP. WARNING: This story is about the relationship between two men. Although it does not contain explicit sex, it does imply that it happened ... if this bothers you, you're in the wrong place. DISCLAIMER: Paramount/Viacom owns the characters and the STAR TREK universe. I just like to borrow them occasionally, and explore their lives in more intimate detail than we would ever see on TV. This is all in fun, I make no profit off of this, nor does anyone else. Aug. 1999 --- Am I dreaming? Is this real? For years, I have longed for this moment... to awaken with you in my arms. The scent of your hair, the warmth of your body, the silky texture of your skin and the hardness of your flesh... how I've dreamed of experiencing them all! Oh, how sweet it is to feel your head resting on my shoulder, your arm across my chest, and our legs tangled together! I am overwhelmed! When I first approached you this evening, it was to say good-bye... I couldn't live another day in your presence and not be *with* you. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I anticipate *this*. To think you shared my hopes and dreams, I still cannot believe it is true! Now, in the early morning, I watch you sleep... you smile, as I kiss you awake. "Good morning, my dear Doctor... did you sleep well?" "Yes, my love.... and you?" "Never better" "I dreamt... it wasn't a dream, was it?" --- The End
