Sleepless in Space
Door 20
“Seven!” Kathryn’s panicky voice made Seven hesitate. She reluctantly looked up
from the tantalizing view of Kathryn’s thighs.
“Kathryn?”
“Seven. You can’t…I mean, I didn’t…I…I’m not…” Kathryn flung her hand up in an
exasperated gesture. “I’m not wearing anything underneath!”
Seven knew she should let go of Kathryn’s sleep shirt, but as he brain processed
the fact that Kathryn was naked underneath the soft fabric, she clung to it,
wanting to rip it off.
“I never expected us to even be awake, least of all
touch.” Janeway sighed.
“And you do not want me to see your naked body, or touch you?” Seven tried to
understand as a sinking feeling in her midsection alerted her of pending
disappointment.
“No. I mean, yes, I do!” The words rushed over Kathryn’s lips. She sent a glance
toward the ceiling, muttering a profanity which Seven had never heard her use
before. “Seven. I’ll try to explain, all right?”
“Yes?” Was this when Kathryn would backtrack and decide that Seven needed to
call her ‘captain’ and only regard her as a mentor and occasionally a friend?
“Listen, darling,” Kathryn began, leaning her forehead against Seven’s shoulder.
“You’re young, vibrant, and beautiful. I’m almost forty-five, and even if I’m in
pretty good shape…I’m not young and certainly not beautiful in the way you are—“
“Excuse me, Kathryn, for interrupting, but are you trying to warn me of any
physical imperfections?” Seven felt her heart thunder, a most unpleasant
experience.
“I…I suppose I am.” Kathryn shrugged, giving a lopsided smile. “Guess even star
ship captain’s have their insecurities.”
“So do I.” Seven closed her eyes briefly. “My body is full of scar tissue and
metal implants and yet you call me vibrant and beautiful.”
“But you are!”
Seven decided that actions spoke louder than words. She clenched her fists
around the hem of Kathryn’s shirt and pulled it up and over her head. She looked
greedily at the shocked, and deliciously naked Kathryn. “And so are you.”
