Shrugging her shoulders in resignation, she decided a cup of raktajino was worth her precious replicator rations and ordered the Klingon brew with a sigh. The cup materialized in the food slot, swirls of steam rising, wafting toward her. B'Elanna inhaled deeply, a wry smile creeping into her lips as she made her way back to the main engineering console. The aroma reminded her so much of home... her childhood home, back on Kessik IV. Even though that particular tenure of her life had been brief, the memories of it were firmly etched in her mind. The smell of corn bread muffins, hot and steaming, filling the house with that pleasant scent; coffee, even a Klingon version of it, percolating wildly, and her... small, though hardly frail, dressed in a flannel nightie, stumbling into the kitchen bleary eyed, still groggy from sleep, sitting on her father's lap as he buttered a muffin for them to share. B'Elanna smiled fondly. She had been a very mature four when she had marched into the kitchen one morning and announced, in what she thought was a rather grown up voice, that she was much too little for milk and orange juice. No... she wanted raktajino... although when she said it, the word came out sounding more like rack- of-jeans-o. For some reason, her father thought that was the cutest thing and obliged her... letting her sip the brew from his mug! Even now, she thought that was the most wonderful thing in the universe, drinking from her father's coffee mug. In truth, the raktajino had been horrible. It coated her palate, burned her throat, and made the hair in her nose whistle like the woodwind section of an orchestra. But she took it like a warrior, not showing so much as a hint of distaste. It wouldn't be till years later that she would learn that her father simply made bad raktajino... a heartfelt but clumsy attempt to bring Klingon culture into their home on a Federation world. B'Elanna sat down at her workstation, sipping her Klingon coffee slowly as the childhood memory flickered away. The raktajino was still horrible... she couldn't make it any better than her father had... and she loved it. The lulling hum of the warp engines was almost hypnotic, an undulating rhythm that more than once had nearly put her into a trance. There was a time when she had enjoyed working the night shift. It gave her time to think... to work in peace without people who still didn't really trust her constantly looking over her shoulder to see if she was doing a satisfactory job. Now the night shift seemed like a punishment. She hadn't seen much of Kathryn in nearly a week, and when she did see her it was usually in some official capacity that didn't allow much in the way of contact. It was all so much "yes ma'ams" and "good work, lieutenants" but not much else. Making love with a glance was a skill they had both mastered, letting their eyes convey what their insides were feeling across a conference table lined on either side with officers who most likely suspected what was going on. More often than not it was enough to get them through the day, but after a week of touchless sex the tension was getting unbearable. B'Elanna needed to feel Kathryn's body in her hands... if only for a moment; she needed to kiss those delicious lips and run her fingers through that wonderful red hair. It would be a long time in coming. Kathryn was asleep now, and by the time B'Elanna finished her stint on the night shift Kathryn would be on the bridge beginning *her* shift. It was madness. Absolute insanity. If she didn't see Kathryn soon she would surely explode! B'Elanna glanced around thoughtfully, coming to yet another decision. Most of the engineering staff on duty at this time of night were prowling the ship, making repairs to those systems that saw heavy traffic during the day hours... the replicators in the mess hall, the holodecks. The only officer not engaged outside of engineering was Ensign Vorik. The Vulcan stood rigidly at a computer station, hands clasped behind his back as he reviewed the sensor logs. "Ensign Vorik?" B'Elanna called. He turned in an instant, fluid... poised. That Vulcan grace was something to be admired. The eyebrow went up almost of its own accord. "I have... an errand to run. Can you keep an eye on things for ten... fifteen... maybe twenty minutes?" "Indeed, " Vorik nodded. B'Elanna smiled. "Great... have a cup of raktajino on me." She didn't wait long enough to gauge his response, opting instead to make a beeline for the turbolift. She felt almost giddy... a mixture of sexual anticipation and guilt for leaving her post, that, combined, felt absolutely wonderful. Sometimes it was fun to be naughty, B'Elanna mused. The lift jerked to a halt and yawned open. B'Elanna hurried down the corridor, mind reeling as she considered the various scenarios open to her. Kathryn would probably be asleep... a reasonable assumption, given the fact that she was due on the bridge in just a few hours. B'Elanna debated how to approach her... whether to attack her outright, or ease her into consciousness with a well placed kiss. B'Elanna grinned wickedly. Maybe she wouldn't wake her. Maybe... just maybe.. she would ease her face between Kathryn's parted legs and take what she wanted in one slurp, leaving Kathryn in the arms of Morpheus while she ate her like the last meal of condemned man. Kathryn would wake up feeling wonderful, a single rose left on the pillow the only proof of the violation that had taken place in the wee hours of the morning. The thought turned the corners of B'Elanna's lips upward in a hungry sneer, a look that held intact as the doors to their quarters hissed open at her approach. B'Elanna padded across the plush carpet, smacking her lips greedily as she tip-toed toward the bedroom. A few more steps... careful not to make a peep... and then... heaven. B'Elanna stopped dead in her tracks. Her mouth fell open and her arms went limp at her sides, the full realization hitting her like a ton of bricks. Kathryn wasn't there. The bed was empty, the covers thrown hastily to one side. B'Elanna looked around, befuddled, some tiny part of her brain taking notice of the fact that Kathryn's night gown was no longer draped over the back of the chair in the corner. "Computer, " B'Elanna growled. "Locate Captain Janeway." A feminine voice responded, "Captain Janeway is in main engineering." "What?" B'Elanna gasped. "Of all the... " Turning on her heels, B'Elanna stormed for the door. This couldn't be happening. This just couldn't be happening. The lift took its time arriving and when it did B'Elanna pushed her way inside, barking an order that would take her back to engineering. Ensign Vorik greeted her return with a look of utter puzzlement. "Lieutenant... Captain Janeway was just here looking for you." B'Elanna sifted through that message and one word stuck out above the others. "Was?" The Vulcan nodded. "I informed her that you had an errand to run." "What did she say?" "'Thank you', " Vorik quoted in a damn good -if not masculine- imitation of the captain's voice. "Then she said she was returning to her quarters." B'Elanna nodded glumly. She must have missed Kathryn by a nanosecond. Not all was lost, then. At least... she hoped not. She nodded to Vorik, the unspoken command more than audible. She swept into the lift, ordered it on its way and headed back to her quarters... which, as before, were empty. "Computer... where the hell is Captain Janeway now?" For the second time, the computer said, "Captain Janeway is in main engineering." B'Elanna howled in agony. This had to be a nightmare! She'd never had such a difficult time getting laid in all her life! Heart pounding... head aching... B'Elanna marched dutifully back into the corridor, finding her good friend the turbolift and stepping inside. She reached engineering for the second time in probably as many minutes and once again found Ensign Vorik staring at her, eyebrow raised, hands resting in the small of his back. "Lieutenant... " the Vulcan began in an uncharacteristic stutter. "Captain- " "I know, " B'Elanna sighed. "Don't tell me. Captain Janeway was just here, right?" The words she uttered in Klingon made Vorik turn away in disgust. B'Elanna growled, heading back -yet again- for the turbolift, ordering it on its way. Then she thought better of it. "Computer, halt turbolift, " B'Elanna snapped. The lift acquiesced without protest. B'Elanna tapped her commbadge. "Torres to Janeway." "Janeway here. B'Elanna, where are you?" B'Elanna sighed. The sound of that raspy voice quickly turned her legs to rubber. "In an idle turbolift, somewhere between decks 17 and 18. Where are you?" A brief pause, then what might have been a chuckle or groan of frustration came back at her. "In another idle turbolift, somewhere between decks 17 and 18. Probably a few sections away from you. I... needed to walk off some, er, pent-up energy on the way back from engineering." "You and me both, " B'Elanna sighed. She sagged back against the lift, sliding to the floor until she was in a sitting position. "I was going to surprise you, hon." Kathryn laughed. "I was going to surprise *you*. I don't think we've ever made love on the landing overlooking engineering. Thought it might be fun." "Would have been, " B'Elanna sighed. Her hand strayed anxiously to the front of her pants. "I was going to sneak into our quarters and take you like a fiend. Like it?" "Love it," Kathryn giggled. "Were you going to wake me?" B'Elanna felt the heat of embarrassment flush her cheeks. "Well... no, I wasn't. Do you think less of me?" Kathryn laughed again. The sound went right to B'Elanna's head... then surged downward to where her hand was resting. "No... I could never think less of you, sweetie. I love it when you just take me... and you can take me any time and any place you want." "I love you," B'Elanna sighed. "I love you," Kathryn returned. B'Elanna leaned her head back against the wall of the turbolift. "So... what do you mean showing up in main engineering wearing only a robe. I have officers to command, you know. What exactly did you have in mind?" "Oh I don't know," Kathryn said. "I thought I'd make up some pretext about insomnia and hope you offered to show me the modifications you've made to the plasma regulators." "Ingenious," B'Elanna sighed. She ran her hand up the inside of her thigh, slowly... so very slowly. Her voice, when it came to her, was low... deep and throaty. Hardly above a whisper. "Then what?" An uneasy pause. "B'Elanna, are you... ?" "Uh-huh," B'Elanna whispered. "Are you...?" "I am now," Kathryn replied hoarsely. B'Elanna stroked her thigh lazily. "What would you do next, Kathryn... no wait. Tell me something, do you have anything on underneath that bathrobe?" "No," Kathryn whispered. "Not a thing." B'Elanna sighed contentedly. It was a lie... at least she hoped it was! But it was a good lie, and it didn't take much effort on her part to believe it. "Good... that makes it so much easier. Now tell me, Kathryn... what would you do to me once you got me on the landing in main engineering?" Kathryn paused again, and from the soft sounds that filtered over the comm channel B'Elanna knew Kathryn had found herself and was teasing her damp mound playfully. She could picture it... so lovely... so very lovely, all red and tender... and wet... so damned wet. "Well... first I'd open my robe, just a bit... letting you get a good look at my naked body. I want you so much, B'Elanna. Oooh... I'm so wet for you... my nipples are standing at attention for you." B'Elanna giggled softly. "Standing at attention... you are wicked. I do love your body, though. You are so beautiful Kathryn. I want to touch you all over. I want to smother your body in hot, wet kisses..." "In time, love," Kathryn scolded. "I'm in control here." "Yes, ma'am, " B'Elanna sighed. She unsnapped her trousers, giving herself plenty of room to ease her hand down the front of her now soaked panties. She teased the crotch the way Kathryn would... rubbing herself through the wet fabric. "Okay... you're in control. What would you do next?" Kathryn breathed in sharply and exhaled. "I'd push you back against the wall and kiss you, chewing on your lower lip the way that you like. My hands would be all over you, of course. Groping your breasts... squeezing that rear end of yours that I so love admiring. You do know I'm absolutely crazy about your ass, don't you, Lieutenant?" "Yes, ma'am," B'Elanna sighed. She pulled aside the crotch of her panties and tangled her fingers in her damp pubic hair, twisting... pulling... it almost felt like Kathryn was touching her. "I love it when you grab my bottom. More... tell me more, Kathryn." Kathryn hiccuped suddenly, and B'Elanna knew from experience where Kathryn needed to be touched in order to make a sound like that. Gods! How she wished she could be making Kathryn *make* that sound! "Kathryn..." B'Elanna growled. "I'm dying.. please!" "Yes... " Kathryn whispered. "Yes... lover... I know we don't have much time... dangerous... so dangerous. Anyone could catch us up on the landing. I'd feel you up but good, squeezing your breasts in my hands.. roughly... I know you like it rough. Not always, but sometimes... hard and fast and now... don't you?" "Yes," B'Elanna whimpered. She ran two fingers up and down the length of her slit, caressing the folds of her sex with delicate, lazy movements. So good... she needed it so much and it felt so good... "But only with you, Kathryn Janeway. Only you can have me like that... only you, darling... Tell me more... " "Uh-huh," Kathryn said, her voice garbled from her own obvious pleasure."I so want to suck on your nipples... take them into my mouth and play with them... you're so cute, B'Elanna. Your nipples are the most beautiful sight... erect or soft, I don't care. And the sounds you make... eek... eek... they make me crazy! I love to bury my face between your breasts and just rub myself against them... but later, not now... I need you so bad... " "Then take me, Kathryn!" B'Elanna growled. She increased her rhythm, stroking herself feverishly... up and down... up and down... making tiny circles, patting herself... feeling for her clit and rubbing it gently, ever so gently. Just like Kathryn did. "B'Elanna," Kathryn mewed. "I... I'd... oh, god! I'd lose control. I'd grab your trousers and yank them down to your ankles. I can smell your scent... I can feel your heat... dear, god! It's been so long... and you smell so good.... and you feel so warm and inviting... I'd finger you to begin with... two... three... four fingers... my whole hand... I'd shove my entire hand up your steaming pussy right there on the engineering platform... like that, lover? Do you like having my fist up your pussy?" "Yes!" B'Elanna growled. She slipped three fingers inside her sopping wet sex, stroking feverishly. The lift quickly filled with the thick scent of her arousal, almost overpowering. Gods! It felt like Kathryn was inside her. "Mmmm... oh... Kathryn... that feels so good. My god! Don't ever stop! Don't every stop fucking me... " The old English word had the desired effect, the sounds of passion coming over the comm channel increasing in their intensity. Kathryn shrieked. "Not a chance, baby. Not a chance. I'd pump my hand in and out of you... god! It's so tight! You won't let go of me! I hope I don't get stuck inside you or we'll have to call sickbay... " B'Elanna giggled uncontrollably, even as a sticky film of pleasure coated her fingers. "Not the image I needed right now, Kathryn... get on with it! I need to come so bad! Please.... " "Yes dear," Kathryn whimpered. "I'd drop to my knees... still inside you. Forget about mechanics, I can do it... somehow... no way I'm taking my hand out of your pussy... not ever. In fact, I'd shove my hand deeper inside you... reaching up you as if I could grab your orgasm by the nape of the neck and drag it out of you! Gods, you smell so good! I love the way you smell, B'Elanna! So exotic... so delicious.. I think I need a taste." "Yes," B'Elanna moaned. She rode her fingers, bucking hard against them. Thrusting her hips and lifting her ass off the floor, knees drawn up to her chest... fingers questing, deep inside... teasing her clit... so good... so damn good... god, it felt like Kathryn! "Lick me Kathryn... lick my pussy... I want to come all over you... " "And I want to drink it up," Kathryn whimpered. "I'd lean forward... flicking my tongue against your clit. Oh... B'Elanna... it's so hard... not like I've ever seen it before... we need to make love in engineering more often... this really gets you off!" "Uh-*huh*," B'Elanna growled. "Take me, Kathryn... please... take me... like only you can... please... " Fingers sliding in and out easily, her tunnel so wet... dripping... all over her hands.. all over Kathryn's mouth... "I think I will," Kathryn said. "I'd take my hand away... I need room! Then I'd eat you. I'd lick you kiss you, suck you... anything you want... anything. I'd drive my tongue deep inside you, as far as I can go. Maybe I'll just crawl up inside you and eat my way out. You are so delicious. I'd gobble you up... mouthful by mouthful... sucking your clit, kissing the folds of your pussy... oh, B'Elanna... oh... god!!" B'Elanna banged her head against the wall of the lift, whimpering as she pumped herself closer and closer. The clenching in her gut told her she was nearing the point of no return, and from the short breaths whispered over the comm channel B'Elanna knew Kathryn was going to jump off that cliff right along with her. The two of them, hand in hand, basking in a glow of pleasure as they plummeted to the rocky shoals below. So good... so wonderful... "Yes... Kathryn... oh... god... yes... I'm coming, baby. I'm coming all over your face... are you ready for me? 'Cause it's hot and wet and going to cover you from head to toe... " "B'Elanna, really... " Kathryn laughed. It wasn't an ordinary laugh. It was the laugh of a woman fingering herself to orgasm in a turbolift. B'Elanna recognized the sound... she was laughing in the same way. "Yes..." B'Elanna growled. "Oh yes... Kathryn... yes.. I love you, Kathryn... I love you... oh gods!!!" Her eyes snapped shut and her head flew back as the firm grasp of orgasm took hold of her body and shook it. B'Elanna cried out... hearing Kathryn cry out at that very moment. Kathryn's voice sounded tinny and small over the comm channel, but the sound of her pleasure was unmistakable. B'Elanna smiled... she couldn't help it, grinning from ear to ear as she stroked and fingered herself to the blessed relief she had needed so badly. One thrust after another, Kathryn's touch... her touch.. it didn't matter... they were one, coming together... panting and gasping and spinning out of control until their voices cried out one last time. The silence that followed wasn't actually silent... the lift, stuck on idle, still hummed, intermixed with the sound of labored breathing as both B'Elanna and - though from a distance - Kathryn struggled to calm themselves. The quiet stretched on and on... "Then..." Kathryn managed to gasp. "I'd just leave you there, pants around your ankles. I hope someone finds you that way... all wet, your pussy exposed for all to see. That smile on your face that says you've been fucked thoroughly by the captain." B'Elanna laughed tiredly. "You are a witch, Kathryn Janeway. You should live in a gingerbread house and cast spells over a black cauldron." "And you love me for it," Kathryn sighed. "More than words can describe," B'Elanna sighed. "God... I can't wait until we're together in our quarters... face to face. The things I'm going to do to you... " "Oh?" Kathryn asked quietly. "And exactly what *are* you going to do when you see me?" B'Elanna smiled, leaning back and closing her eyes... a slick hand falling into her lap, easily finding its target. "Well... first, I'd pull you into my arms and kiss you, letting my hands slide down to massage your bottom. You're not the only one who loves the feel of a good ass, you know. Then I'd... " --- The End
