Sleepless in Space

Door 25

Seven looked nervously at Kathryn, suddenly regretting her question. What if Kathryn said no? What if this was what Tom Paris referred to as a ‘one night stand’, a term Seven had always found confusing, since it clearly involved mostly lying down.

“Seven.” Kathryn leaned on her elbows, her face hovering above Seven’s. “Are you asking me if I want to repeat this?”

No! Seven panicked, only able to stare up at Kathryn. Miraculously, Kathryn’s eyes softened, and she kissed Seven’s forehead gently.

“I want you to be my lover. I want you like this, always.” Kathryn kissed her way across Seven’s temple, down to her lips. “I want you to in my life as my girl. My best girl.”

“Your best girl?” Seven’s heart thundered as Kathryn’s kisses painted a hot trail down her neck and across her collar bones.

“My only girl.” Sounding out of breath, Kathryn cupped Seven’s breasts and kissed the rosy tips over and over.

Seven felt her nipples tighten and when Kathryn took one in her mouth and let her tongue work it feverishly, she could not keep from moaning out loud.

“Kathryn, I wish to be your lover…always.”

“You do?” Kathryn murmured around Seven’s nipple. “You sure?”

“I am certain. I…I love you, Kathryn.” Seven cupped Janeway’s shoulders and caressed down her arms.

Kathryn glanced up, her eyes now shiny. “Oh, Seven. I love you too. I’ve loved you for a long, long time.”

Seven knew she had to act, or she would self combust. Sitting up, she pulled Kathryn closer until the captain was straddling Seven’s lap. “I am glad you reciprocate my feelings. I feared…” Seven took a deep breath and tried again. “I feared you might just want me for tonight.”

“Tonight is only the beginning. We will find a way to fix your nanoprobes or a way for you to exist without them.”

“Right now, I am only concerned with how you taste and smell, Kathryn.” Seven slipped a hand between Kathryn’s legs, accidentally rubbing her wrist against her own sex while she fondled Kathryn.

“Oh.” Kathryn pressed her hips against Seven’s hand. “Oh, Gods, Seven. Please, go inside.”

Hoping she would do this the right way and not injure Kathryn, Seven pressed two fingers together and found Kathryn’s entrance. Tight, but very wet, it seemed to welcome her. Unprepared for how arousing being engulfed by Kathryn’s sensitive tissues would feel, Seven closed her eyes and buried her face in Kathryn’s hair. She moved her hand slowly, mimicking an undulating movement as she made love to Kathryn this way.

Kathryn moved her hips and pressed herself harder and harder against Seven’s hand. “M-more,” she managed throatily. “More!”

Adding a third finger, Seven reached for one of Kathryn’s hands and pushed it in between her legs. “I need your touch also. I ache for you. Touch me, Kathryn?”

“My pleasure.” Kathryn mimicked Seven’s actions and pushed a hand in between Seven’s slick folds. “Oh, you feel so good.”

“I am very lubricated,” Seven confessed.

“I can tell.” Kathryn moved her hand slowly, circling Seven’s entrance carefully, not entering. “This okay, darling?”

“I wish for you to go inside me as well.”

“If you’re sure…” Kathryn pushed inside, gently but without hesitation. “So hot. So incredibly sexy.”

“Deeper…”

Kathryn began pushing harder, all the time moving her own hips in the same rhythm.

Seven cupped Kathryn’s left breast, flicking the dark nipple with her thumb as she rolled it between her fingers. Kathryn’s soft whimper made it nearly impossible to breathe, but Seven doubled her efforts, kissing Kathryn again. She could feel an internal pressure build and her heart pounded as she struggled against it.

“Shh, Seven. It’s okay. Give in to it.” The tenderness in Kathryn’s voice, combined with the heat in her eyes, created yet another rush of moisture between Seven’s legs.

“I do not know how.” It was true. Everything inside Seven strived to control her rampaging emotions, yet she wanted nothing more than to give in to them. She leaned back against the pillows, pulling Kathryn with her. Suddenly her fingers were no longer buried inside her lover, and instead, Kathryn moved down her body, until her mouth found Seven’s aching sex.

“I’ll help you,” Kathryn said, pressing her mouth onto Seven’s clitoris. “Mm.”

Seven arched and cried out as Kathryn’s hot mouth began its assault to her sensitive tissues. Licking with abandon, she pushed Seven ahead of her, toward the unknown.

Just as Seven thought she could take no more, when she was certain she would incinerate, Kathryn crept up next to her, pushed deeper inside her and kissed her lips with so much tenderness, Seven slumped back. Wave after wave, an unimaginable pleasure permeated her system, spreading from her sex to her abdomen and her thighs. Seven’s nipples ached and added to the orgasmic bliss.

“Ah!” Kathryn suddenly tensed and pushed her sex against Seven’s thigh, over and over, and Seven wrapped her arms around her, holding on tight. “Seven! Don’t let go. Don’t ever let go. Seven…” Kathryn cried out and buried her face against Seven’s neck. “Oh, Gods, I love you. I love you so much.”

“I love you also. And I will not let go.” Seven was still reeling from the aftershocks of her own orgasm, and feeling Kathryn jerk against her added to her pleasure.

“Good.” Kathryn half sobbed, half chuckled against her neck. “I never saw this coming, no matter how much I wanted you and loved you.”

“I never knew either.” Seven yawned and closed her eyes as Kathryn slowly relaxed against her. Tired, she curled up and closed her eyes as Kathryn pulled the covers up over them.

“Go to sleep, darling,” Kathryn murmured. “You’ll be fine.”

“Yes. I will. We will.”

Epilogue

“You look stunning, darling, with or without it.” Janeway leaned against the doorframe to their ensuite bathroom, regarding her lover affectionately.

“It is making me uncomfortable. Like something is missing.” Seven frowned at her reflection in the mirror. She was dressed in a light-blue sparkly dress, and was adjusting a necklace, aligning it with the neckline of the dress.

“You just never expected to be without it. More than twenty years is a long time.”

“I suppose I also felt I deserved to be…branded.” Seven traced her left eyebrow where once her optical implant had been clearly visible. Now her face no longer displayed any signs of her being part of the Borg collective once. The starburst implant on her right cheek was also gone, and only a few dormant implants remained inside her, and the Doctor would soon be able to remove them completely.

Janeway frowned at Seven’s choice of words. “You don’t deserve to be branded. You were a victim of the Borg as much as anyone. No implant, visible or not, can change that.”  She hugged Seven from behind, wrapping her arms around her waist. “You’re a miracle. You’re representative of how a person can turn their life around and make a complete difference in many other lives. I’m a prime example. If it wasn’t for you, and your love, I wouldn’t be this happy. You’ve changed so much for me, especially.”

“Thank you, Kathryn. I suppose these times of self-doubt will continue to occur every now and then.” Seven turned around in Janeway’s arms. “I think we are late.”

“I don’t care.” Janeway looked up at Seven, feeling a wonderfully familiar and new surge of love at the sight of her.

“I think Neelix will be very disappointed if we miss his special Prixin dinner.”

“That’s the only reason I’m even contemplating leaving our quarters. It’s doesn’t matter that we’ve lived together for six months. I can’t get enough of you.”

Seven’s eyes glittered, suddenly filled with joy, rather than self-recrimination. “I feel the same way. I will make you a promise.”

“Yes?”

“If you agree to leave now and help Neelix create a memorable Prixin evening for the crew, I will make it up to you later.”

“You will?” Janeway heard her voice sink an octave.

“I will.” Seven bent her head, nibbled at Janeway’s earlobe for a moment before whispering, “I promise.”
