Space Hooker (2/?)
Made for a prompt on the st_xi_kink Part Eight, mostly because I would give my firstborn to see some of the crews' reactions to that shit. :D
Sorry this took forever, and is only one person, but...I wanted to get it out there right away. :3
Part Two of ?
----------------------------------------------------------
"What makes you think I want to sleep with you?"
"I'm Jim Kirk. Everyone wants to sleep with me."
And then he proves it. Or tries to.
OR
Captain James Tiberius Kirk, Space Hooker
PART TWO
3. Gaila
And she did - or, well, she tried to sleep with him, anyway. In between getting interrupted by Uhura - worst roommate ever, Gaila grouched as she pulled on her clothes - and then everything with Nero, and then Jim being promote, surprisingly, and surprisingly quickly, to Captain, Gaila and he just...never did.
Oh, he was handsome - always had been, with his Earth-sky, Orion-apple eyes of blue, and his Devil-may-care grin. She could have had him any time she wanted, and she would have given him herself anytime he had asked.
But not now. She might have been a woman, with the needs of one, but first and foremost - like most crew-members - she was a soldier.
"Well, yes.", she answers with a laugh, small and tinkling and utterly not-nervous. She doesn't need to be nervous around him, her Captain, her one-time, almost-fling -- Jim Kirk isn't the sort of man who takes advantage. Not of a being, anyway; he takes plenty advantage of situations, when they arise. "I do want to sleep with you, Jim, but you're Captain now."
And Gaila feels bad that these words make his face fall, flirty expression dropping like Andorian fruit flies. She reads, in that, that he had momentarily forgotten about their rank differences; she's an Ensign, and he runs the entire ship, for Ellowens' sake. Her momentary indecision - should she take him up on his offer? It couldn't affect either of them that much, really, could it? She was hardly ever up on deck, anyway, and both of them knew how to keep things discreet. (Except from Uhura, who is the worst roomate ever.)
"Heh, you're right, Gail - Ensign.", he said, a small, obviously corrected laugh in his voice and a wink as he mentioned her rank - he wasn't being pompous, just trying to smooth things over. It was a new Kirk; one she had yet to see. Much like the 'stack-of-books-with-legs' version of Kirk, which she'd discovered he always turned into about a month or so before finals and midterms.
"I would like to eat lunch with you, sometime, though, Captain Kirk.", Gaila added, throwing it out as James stood in the doorway of the rec room, and she winked at him before turning back to her game.
You had to throw the man a bone sometimes, after all.
