The BLTS Archive- The Failed Experiment by kwata --- Disclaimer: Oh great Paramount, Spock is yours. Damn, but I wish he was mine. Please don't send the copyright police to my house in the middle of the night. I promise that no profit will be gained from this humble work of fan fiction. Nothing too daring or deep for this, my first attempt at writing TS. In fact, it couldn't get any shallower. It's a blatant PWP, just an excuse to treat our favourite Vulcan to some female nookie. Yea, though my offering is tiny and paltry compared to some of the talents here, it is given in good faith. --- The newly-posted announcement in the rec room was attracting considerable attention. "Classical Music Fans, take note! Open Air Concert Tonight! Hear Beethoven as you've never heard it before! Staccato Amphitheatre! See you at 19h00!" There were low murmurs of interest in anticipation of the concert. The Shore Leave Social Club was working overtime as usual, sniffing out the best local entertainment for the enjoyment of the crew, ensuring that there was always something different to look forward to. "Are you planning to attend this event, Lieutenant?" The newest member of the Enterprise crew swung around at the sound of the familiar, deep voice. Since joining the Science department three weeks ago Meg Carter hadn't had much interaction with her new boss, but luckily interaction wasn't essential for admiration. "Well, yes, sir, it sounds wonderful." "Indeed. Then I shall accompany you, if you have no objections. It would be most unwise for you to beam down on your own, especially at night. We will depart at 18h30." He raised an eyebrow, gave her an inscrutable look, and left without waiting for an answer. When she felt sufficiently composed to string a sentence together and appreciate the pun, she thought, Objections? Surely the man was joking? Vulcans don't joke, she silently answered her own question. But they do appreciate good music, apparently. --- Meg met Spock at 18h30 in the transporter room. Both were in uniform and carried their Starfleet field jackets in case the evening got chilly later on. They materialised on the edge of the open-air amphitheatre. It was impressive. Situated in the hollow of a natural depression that might once have been a dried-up lake or a meteor crater, the grassy slopes were widespread enough to allow thousands of people to sit comfortably with an all-round view of the stage, while the ring of trees set further back contained the sound in a perfect acoustical arrangement. There was quite a crowd there already, all jostling for position on the lower slopes closer to the stage. Many of them had hampers of some sort, most likely containing sustenance for the evening ahead. Just like any open-air concert back on Earth, Meg thought. Spock looked around and spotted a tree some way back from the lip of the bowl, but not so far back that they wouldn't have a good view of the performance. There was nobody in the immediate vicinity. He strolled over, looked around again, came to a decision, and sat down with his back against the trunk. Meg settled herself on the ground to the left and slightly in front of him. They waited in easy silence until the dancing laser lights faded and the symphony orchestra appeared on a platform that rose from the bowels of the stage like a leviathan rising from the deep, to great cheering from the audience. Beethoven's music was moving, as always. Played on alien musical instruments, it was as different as anything that existed in the galaxy, but the essential soul of it was still there. Incredible, Meg thought, how extensively Terran classical music had spread through the known worlds. And how the renditions of it ranged from the sublime to the horrible. This version fell somewhere on the sublime side, near the middle of the scale. Spock was also assessing the performance, except that he couldn't recall a time when he'd heard a more painful and treacherous interpretation of the sweeping Pastoral Symphony. Somewhere, he told himself, there is a Klingon who would be most eager to use this as an instrument of torture. Not long into the performance a light breeze sprang up. Meg, who, like Spock, was sensitive to cold, hugged herself and shivered a little, and reached for her jacket. Just then she felt a tapping on her shoulder. It was Spock. He had noticed her discomfort and, feeling a little cold himself, decided to redress the situation in a logical, economical and efficient way. He parted his legs and motioned for her to come and sit between them, in this way warming them both through the exchange of body heat, far more effectively than jackets alone would have done. Meg was grateful. Surprised, but grateful. She was well aware that Spock, like all Vulcans, preferred not to suffer physical contact with humans if possible, and she found it quite amazing that he should even propose such a thing. With only a twinge of self-consciousness, she scooted back and nestled herself against his chest. His knees were bent and drawn up on either side of her, his wrists resting loosely on them, hands relaxed and drooping. Goddess, he was warm! The heat emanating from his body radiated right into her back and dispelled the cold as surely as a hot shower would. He must be shielding with all his strength, she thought, to bear such large-scale contact with a human. Well, it was his choice, and she decided to make the best of it. Spock was indeed maintaining tight mental shields against reception of Meg's thoughts and emotions. To his mild surprise, he sensed no feelings of aversion within himself to be near her thus, and was actually finding it quite agreeable. Curiosity gave him a reason to thankfully block out the cacophony arising from the stage and turn his attention to her hair. He inhaled, raised an eyebrow a fraction, and decided that the clean smell of her hair was pleasing enough to warrant further exploration. Quite oblivious to Spock conducting a survey of the parts of her in closest proximity to him, Meg felt herself getting carried away by the music. She'd never heard the Pastoral Symphony played with such an odd assortment of instruments, but it did have a certain haunting charm, once you got used to it. Even if the violins did sound like bagpipes, and the percussionist definitely had a sadistic streak in him. It was discordant, but entertaining. Spock moved his head closer to her petite, rounded ear, prettily adorned with a single gold half-ball. He was deriving considerable enjoyment from this exploration. The music was forgotten in the satisfaction his research was bringing him. Again he inhaled, and was rewarded with a fresh, fruity odour. Surmising that it was her perfume rising from a spot behind her earlobe, he closed his eyes and concentrated on identifying the ingredients. Meg tilted her head back just slightly, allowing the surroundings to enhance the orchestral experience. Her eyes roamed over the night sky, strung with glittering stars like water droplets in a spider's web. The planet's two moons blazed their pink light down upon the audience spread out over the grass-carpeted slopes. It was a glorious evening, and even more so now that she was warm and comfortable. Definitely jasmine and orange, and was that a hint of sandalwood? Spock was beginning to feel rather warm. By tilting her head a fraction, he noted, Meg had inadvertently brought the dainty, curved tip of her ear very close to his mouth. He decided to take the investigation one step further by initiating a labial examination. A crescendo built in a soaring, unearthly wave which peaked and fell, draining away to a tranquil tide that gently flowed. Meg felt something soft touching her ear. It moved all along the top edge of the curve, then stopped and travelled in the opposite direction. At first she thought it was an insect and moved her hand to swat it away, but the warmth emanating from that gentle caress gave her pause. Insects definitely did not radiate heat. Spock's lips traced the delicate contour of Meg's ear. His detailed inspection of her outer aural region confirmed that the intoxicating aroma was strongest towards the dorsal side of that enchanting appendage, and he brought his mouth back to the area in question and let it linger there as he breathed in and filled his nostrils with the smell of her. Meg sat, paralysed. Her heart felt as if it could go supernova at any minute. The music had all but ceased to exist. She didn't know what to do. The realisation that Commander Spock was contentedly gliding his mouth up and down her ear was disconcerting, to say the least. No, it was more of a nerve-numbing shock to the system. She gave silent thanks that two minutes ago her system had not yet sunk into such numbness as to let her mistake him for an insect and hit him in the face. It wasn't that she didn't find him attractive--on the contrary, he was possibly the most desirable, and unattainable, man she had ever known. Of course he was sexy--even a Denebian Slime Devil would find him attractive, in her opinion--but to discover that he was sensual as well... This was as unexpected as it was terrifying. If she shook him off, what would he do? Knowing him, he'd probably look at her impassively, raise an eyebrow, and turn back to the music as if nothing had happened. But to waste such an opportunity? Simply unthinkable. And this experience wasn't physically unpleasant. In fact, it was downright sensuous, with those very soft lips nuzzling her ear and that very hot breath warming her skin. Mmmm... Spock extended the scope of his fieldwork to include a tactile analysis. Trailing the pads of his fingers lightly down her neck to test the texture of the epidermis there, he decided that he had not yet encountered anything as soft or as fragrant. Her skin, cooler by several degrees than his own Vulcan skin, yielded where he exerted gentle pressure on it, and sprang back resiliently into place. His fingers came to rest in the hollow of her throat, feeling skin pulsing under his fingers. Absently he calculated that her heartbeat was 30% faster than the human average, and steadily increasing. Interesting; a similar phenomenon was occurring with his own pulse. Please, oh please, slide your fingers under my collar. Meg couldn't believe she was praying for the Enterprise's aloof and mannerly First Officer to but his hand on her breast and squeeze it, rub it, manipulate it. She wanted him to, so badly, and so did her nipples. They were calling to him. The hot hand moved, rubbing along her clavicle from one side to the other, and for a minute she thought it would proceed further down. The disappointment when it ascended again to her throat was so intense that it took an immense effort not to grab two handfuls of grass and shred them to atoms. She could hear him close to her ear--he was breathing hard, almost sighing with each exhalation. Aahh... The weather was causing sighs elsewhere in the grounds. Chased ahead by the wind, a large patch of cloud had approached the centre of the sky, edging up to the rosy moons. Dismayed spectators began to think of rain. The cloud didn't stop and as it pulled itself across the lunar faces everything around them went darker. The illumination from the distant stage became the only source of light in the vicinity. Perhaps an oral inspection would be in order, Spock thought, intent on carrying out as comprehensive a survey as possible. His lips parted and the tip of his tongue emerged and flicked against her. She tasted of honey and ripe peach, and something very close to sweet cherry mint. Delicious. But what was that sound, that low anguished noise? He repeated the action with his tongue, and a vibration against his fingers told him that the origin of the sound was Meg herself. Seemingly this situation was as pleasing to her as it was to him. She had never felt anything as erotic as the tongue that now teasingly followed the path traced by the fingers. His breath was moist against her skin as he nibbled his way up and down her neck. His hand tangled in her hair. The other arm crept around her waist and pulled her against the warmth of his body, and she felt something solid that definitely hadn't been there before, pressing against her lower back. No longer deluding himself that this was merely some interesting experiment, Spock slid his hand under Meg's chin and tilted her head up, pressing his mouth to hers. A pointed tongue fluttered against her lips, seeking entrance. It was quickly and eagerly granted and they both sighed as they tasted each other. Meg sucked on his probing tongue, drawing it in deeper still, as he made small sounds of pleasure. The performance on the stage swung into the fourth movement, but the performance under the tree was far more entertaining. Spock shifted and lowered one leg to the ground, making it possible for Meg to turn and face him, her chest against his, draping her legs around his hips and behind his back. Much more comfortable, and now they could touch and explore each other's bodies with ease as their groins rubbed together. A long-fingered Vulcan hand rested briefly on her knee before beginning an epic journey up her thigh, making a pitstop halfway in order to prolong the delicious anticipation. Then it made a detour to the underside of her leg before continuing until it reached its silk and lace-covered destination. That barrier was instantly and neatly negotiated, and Meg squirmed as Spock's fingers penetrated her, moving inside her. That she managed not to cry out loud or bite through his tongue could be classified as a miracle. Then he pulled out and held his fingers to his nose, smelling her, murmuring as the intoxicating scent of her heightened his arousal. She slipped one hand under his tunic and the other between his legs with the intention of doing some exploring of her own. He was hard, very hard, and his erection strained against the confinement of his uniform pants. Her fingers traced the strong outline of it up to the fat glans, then back down to the base, beneath which a pair of firm balls nestled tightly. In seconds she had established a massaging rhythm, dragging the heel of her hand down his thickened shaft and squeezing his sac with her fingers just before the up stroke. His hand tightened painfully on her shoulder. He grunted into her mouth and responded with a rhythm of his own, clenching and relaxing his buttocks, working himself against her hand. Up till now their discreet, if intense, foreplay had gone unnoticed, but it was only a matter of time until they became too noisy to escape detection. The music wasn't *that* good. Then the moons peeked out from behind their cloudy blanket, and Spock and Meg knew it was time for a change of scenery. With a mighty effort, they pulled apart. In the moonslight, they regarded each other with wide eyes. "The logical outcome of such, ah, activities as we have been indulging in, is intercourse," Spock said quite unnecessarily, in a voice thick with desire. "I propose that we adjourn to your quarters or mine. Now." Meg shivered. The need in his voice was devastating. She had every intention of doing as he said, but her legs refused to obey her order to stand. Spock climbed to his feet and helped her up, resisting the urge to crush her against him, because then he wouldn't be able to stop himself from making a spectacle of them both in front of all these people. "Seconded," Meg replied breathlessly, "but you can't beam up to the ship like that." "Like what?" She pointed, and Spock looked down at himself. Even in the moonslight the heavy bulge between his legs was conspicuous. In the bright light of the transporter room the technician would spot it instantly, and then there would be rumours zipping around the ship at warp speed. "Oh. We could wait until it subsides. I am able to control it, but I am limited by normal physiological function. It will take several minutes to--" "I don't want to wait even one minute," she said yearningly. His nerves tingled. "Here," holding out his jacket, "keep this in front of you and nobody will notice." --- Minutes later, in Meg's quarters, they were naked on the bed and writhing in each other's arms, the logical outcome of a trail of clothes that started at the door and ended at the foot of the bed. The journey from the amphitheatre to the cabin had seemed eternal, and if the turbolift had been empty, Spock would have stopped the car and taken her right there, such was the tension between them. However, the presence of two red-shirted ensigns was an effective deterrent and all he and Meg could do was stare at each other from opposite sides of the car with such hunger that the two crewmen, both facing away from them, began to feel uncomfortable, although they didn't know why. Sheathed to the balls in Meg's vagina, Spock disengaged his mouth from hers and sat back on his haunches, pulling her up over his thighs without withdrawing. Moaning, she locked her ankles obligingly around his waist. Now he could use his hands freely to probe and tease and stroke, and he was also able to look down and watch their genitals sliding against each other. As he moved his hips back and forth, he was fascinated by the disappearance and emergence of his slick, sap-green penis, and he purposely reinstated his control and calmed his rhythm to get the best view of the intriguing sight. Slowly he pulled out until his twin ridges were visible, then pushed in again until he could feel her hairs prickling against his scrotum. He repeated the action, then did it again slightly faster. "Spock..." Meg moaned, pulling him into her with a quick jerk of her legs, grinding her pelvis against him impatiently. Perhaps experimentation with tempo can wait until later, Spock thought to himself as the urge to thrust became overwhelming. Swiftly he spread her legs, his hands on her inner thighs, pressing them apart. Then he plunged into her and pumped furiously, grunting with the effort. "Oh, Spock...." Even as he drove himself into her again and again, there was a part of his mind still in data-gathering mode, assimilating the sounds and sensations of their loving. The heat between them and around them, a fiery cocoon. The perspiration on her, drying almost as quickly as it appeared. He had tasted that salt and had sucked on her skin to get more. The wet sounds as he pulled out of her, and the slap of their flesh meeting as he thrust back in. The rustling of the bedclothes, the faint creaking movement of the bed frame, audible to his Vulcan ears. The sighs and groans-- "Ah...Meg...ah...." Two point five thrusts per second, Spock thought vaguely, burying his face in the junction of Meg's neck and shoulder. She turned her head, took the tip of his ear into her mouth and bit gently, tonguing the point, and he thought he would very much like to lose control. Prompted by that thought, he relaxed his mental barriers, and her delirious excitement came down on him with the force of a falling planet. "Oh God Spock..." Their mouths locked again as their pace accelerated. Meg felt it first, the familiar sensation of pressure building, warmth intensifying, gathering in one place. It became too much to fight and she locked her ankles in the small of his jerking back and dug her fingers into his biceps with a muffled cry. Spock experienced it all with his mind and body, tight muscles squeezing around his penis, the surging ripples of pleasure, the ecstasy, oh the ecstasy. Close already, the intensity of her climax sent him tumbling into his own orgasm. "Megaaaaaahhhh..." Gasping, whimpering, he surrendered to the inevitable and came, hard, in trembling waves that centred on his spurting cock, straining to the very last spasm. --- When their hearts had slowed once more, Spock reached out and touched a finger to her cheek. "Are you all right?" She turned her face into the palm of his hand, nuzzling it with her lips. He didn't pull it away. "I feel as if I've just passed through the tail of a comet," she replied in a voice that wasn't too steady. "I understand your meaning," he said softly, outlining her lips with his index fingertip. "It was a rather ... momentous experience." As he drifted in the nebulous zone between wakefulness and sleep, he thought drowsily that his research had not been as thorough as it usually was. He had forgotten to count the number of spasms it took to deliver his semen into her. An understandable lapse, but repairable. He still wished to acquire the data. He would have to try again. Later. --- The End
