The BLTS Archive - Fortissimo Part of The Symphony series by Espressivo (espressivo@nettrash.com) --- The Klingon lay on the floor of the dimly lit holodeck, almost completely spent. His broad back was slippery with sweat and heaved convulsively as he tried to catch his breath. Face pressed to the deck beneath him, eyes closed, he attempted to center himself and formulate a way to regain the upper hand in this situation, one that had grown so quickly out of control. He never had the time. Fingers seemingly of steel tore at his hair, wrenching his head painfully up and back. His teeth gritted, he refused to give his tormentor the satisfaction of even a grunt of pain. He felt lips press close to his ear and once again heard the soft, dangerous whisper... "Tell me you want it." Again, Worf closed his mouth tight. A growl rose from his chest, pressed tightly against the floor and slicking it with his sweat. He would rather die than give this man the words he needed. Without warning, a knee pressed hard into the center of the Klingon's back. Breath exploded from his mouth and nose. Teeth bit hard into his earlobe, hard enough to draw blood. "Tell me... " Worf's attacker was growing frustrated with the game. This naked Klingon, bruised, broken, and bleeding still refused him surrender. The knee was suddenly removed and Worf desperately filled his lungs as the man gracefully stood up and away from him. He was completely unprepared for the vicious kick that snapped another of his ribs and flipped him onto his back. Worf cried out, and immediately gritted his teeth in shame at the dishonor of allowing the other to hear his pain. There was a soft chuckle of satisfaction above him. Soft, yes, but loud enough to pinpoint where his attacker was. Worf was on his knees in a fraction of a second, on his feet in less than that. Finally letting loose with a cry of pure rage he threw himself at the man shrouded in the darkness. The man who effortlessly caught him and crushed him in a vicious embrace. The man who pressed his mouth to Worf's torn one hungrily. The man whose violent/gentle hands slid firmly down Worf's ridged back to grip the flesh of his buttocks and force the Klingon's hard cock against his stomach. The man. And he was beautiful, wasn't he? And they had fought before, hadn't they? And yet he always got from the Klingon what he wanted, and what Worf needed to give. Eventually. And the groan Worf couldn't hold back this time was of pain and pleasure both. "I want it...", mumbled against the soft mouth of the man. "Now." --- Much later the completely spent Klingon lay on his back on the cool holodeck floor. Soon he would have to have himself tended to, but for now he was content to endure and enjoy the pain of his injuries. The man had dressed quickly, as he always did, as he would again. He called for the Arch, and made to exit. He never looked back. Perhaps he couldn't, Worf had never asked. But duty demanded one more thing of the Klingon... "Thank you, Commander. You fought with honor." The man paused at the door to complete the oft-repeated ritual. "As did you." Worf nodded and let his eyes drift close. He only heard the heavy holodeck doors close after Commander Data. --- The End
