It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

Jun 13, 2012 23:21

Two days after the battle, and Paula had only been in her quarters for a brief shower and what felt like an even shorter nap. She'd found Hikaru passed out on the bed, a towel wrapped around him as though he'd meant to wait for her but had fallen asleep before he could even get under the covers. She'd curled up next to him, and vaguely remembered ( Read more... )

klingons, bad day, hikaru

Private to Comd. Paula Collins
Helping out in Engineering, if you can imagine. Scotty thinks we might get the warp engines revved up, for just a little bit, getting us to the NVC sooner.

I'll be home soon, I hope.

It was a lot later than he'd hoped when Hikaru finally made it to Paula's rooms, but given the option to work on one more project for Operations in exchange for a half shift of in the morning, he jumped on it. Entering her room, he headed toward the small kitchen area and poured himself some ice cold water, flopping down on the sofa. He didn't see her, but if she were napping, he didn't want to disturb her either.

It was hard to keep the words in his head when she kissed him like that, soft lips pressing against him. So easy to just pull her on top of him and kiss her more, until they were both ready ( ... )

She grew still as he spoke, his fingers weaving and playing with hers as he explained what was in his heart. Paula was smiling even before he'd finished, her lips curving slowly as her heart squeezed tight in her chest. Listening to him stumble over the words, his expression so earnest, so loving and open, made her eyes well up just a little. Her lips met his and she followed him back down, sliding on top of him and kissing him back for all she was worth. His words, and better yet the expression in his eyes, told her he was as ready for something serious as she was. And then later, when the time was right...

"I think," she began, pausing to kiss him again, "I'm the luckiest girl on this ship." Paula nosed against Hikaru, her smile lighting her entire face. She was so happy she couldn't help laughing, the sound soft and warm in the quiet of her... no, their room. "Yes, Hikaru. I want you to move in with me," she breathed against his lips. "I'd have already asked, but with so much going on..." She shook her head. This attack on the ( ... )

"When we get back from the colony," he murmured, kissing her back gently. The idea that they would have this little home together, a place that belonged to them. A commitment, making them a real couple, at least in the eyes of Starfleet operations, and in the eyes of their friends. "I'll bring my things," he traced her cheekbones and lips, "do some decorating around here. Give it a man's touch." Lifting his head, his eyes darted around her room, as if he were considering. "I think I'll hang my katana over there."

Leaning back, it felt like such a weight lifted off of him. Paula's eyes were shining in a way that made him feel like a man and knowing that she loved him gave him a quiet sort of strength that he was coming to depend on, more and more every day. "I'm not that concerned about getting promoted. I sorta like sleeping with this strong, powerful Lieutenant Commander." His fingers threaded through her hair carefully, his mouth finding her neck. "Turns me on, when she seduces me."

She would have to make room - not that she had that many things with her, but shifting things to make better use of the space would be necessary. Hikaru already had one drawer and a portion of the closet, but making it official and moving all of his things in... Paula smiled, nipping at his fingers as they ghosted over her mouth. "That's a good spot," she agreed, following his gaze to the place on the wall.

Her laugh was warm and soft as she tilted her head back, offering him better access to her neck. "That's.... good to know," she breathed, her breath ragged as he found the tender spot below her ear. "Because she enjoys seducing you. Very much, Paula whispered. Her hands slid down over Hikaru's shoulders and arms, then stroked down his side. She felt like she'd been handed the moon; everything she wanted was right here. "I love you so much," she said in his ear.

"I love you, Collins," he murmured back, a feeling of completeness settling inside him. There was still dinner tonight, they needed to eat and to talk more about this. He spent so many nights here, but living together was a big step and Hikaru knew that it would take some compromise from both of them. But right now, with her hands sliding up and down his body, he didn't want to talk about it, just to hold her and touch her and make her come again, if he could.

And they needed to get clean. "Shower time," he whispered, his hands moving up her arms, catching her hands. Sitting up in bed, he brought her up with him, leaning against her smaller body. His hand slid over her breast, down her side, resting against her thigh. "I'll wash you good, if you want," he offered, eyes dancing.

She stretched as she sat up, shivering a little as the blanket fell to her waist. Then she caught sight of the light in Hikaru's eyes and grinned, sliding her mouth against his slow and soft. "I'll take you up on that," she murmured, pressing her lips to his again before sliding off the bed. Paula caught his hand and hauled him to his feet with a playful smile. "I'll wash your back for you," she told him as they walked toward the bathroom.

Something about the climate control system had been damaged during the attack, or so she'd been told. Paula turned the water on and then pressed against Hikaru as they waited for the water to get hot. "I'll be glad when the temperature controls are fixed," she murmured. Her eyes were full of laughter as she looked up at him. "Guess you'll have to keep me warm until then."

"I'll do my best," he told her softly, waiting for the water. He pressed her back against the cool tile of the bathroom, feeling her nipples harden against his chest. When the steam started to fill the room, he stepped into the shower, tugging her hands to follow him.

Hikaru did love to wash her, watching the lather bubbles all over her skin, slick as the soapy washcloth scrubbed her clean. "When do you in tomorrow?" he asked, knowing that they both had a couple more days of extra shifts before they hit the planet, and their well-deserved rest time.

A soft squeak escaped her when her back met the cold tile, but Hikaru was warm against her front as he pressed close. She gave a quiet groan when her nipples rubbed against his chest, her hands drifting over his shoulders and back. But steam was already drifting from the shower and Paula sighed as Hikaru pulled her under the spray with him. Her head rested on his shoulder as he washed her, his hands sure as they soaped and rinsed her body ( ... )
