Notes: Prompt was to take the last sentence from a novel and turn it into the first sentence of my story. Bonus points if you can name the novel! I've had this plot bunny running through my head for a while now. Reviews will help me decide if this becomes a full story or stays as this one shot. Let me know what you think, please!
"Welcome home... Imzadi..."
Riker paused in the doorway as the words echoed through his mind. It had taken quite a bit of convincing on the part of their new friends before he and Deanna had given in and taken those last steps towards deepening their relationship. He smiled as he considered how playful the trio was together. Alex, Evander, and Rose seemed to be so different and yet, such a perfect match at the same time. He wasn't sure if it was the telepathic bond that they shared that made them so in tune with each other or if they would have been that adorable no matter what.
He was brought out of his musings by the sight of Deanna entering the room with two glasses of wine. She smiled at him and offered a glass as he met her on the sofa. "Penny for your thoughts," she said and tilted her head thoughtfully.
"Oh, I was just thinking about the Doctors and Rose. Why did it take so much persuasion from them to get us where we are now?" Will asked her as he leaned in for a sweet kiss.
"Mmm," she hummed happily. "I think it had something to do with the appropriateness of working together or something like that."
"Ridiculous excuse. Why did you ever listen to me?" he responded and accepted more kisses from her as she shifted into his lap. Their own telepathic link, established years ago, was wide open between them and each could feel the other's passion rising. Both of their hearts began to race with growing excitement.
"Not sure, but Rose was certainly right when she told me that having the telepathic link made the sex sooooo much better," Deanna gasped as Will began to suck on her neck hard enough to leave a mark.
"Did we give them the date and coordinates for the wedding before they left?" he mumbled between wet kisses. It was thanks to them that they were together like this at all, it would be a shame for them to miss it.
"Evander grumbled about it, but Rose promised they'd be there," she replied and turned in his lap so that she was straddling him. She took a moment to pull her turquoise dress over her head and threw it somewhere behind her.
"Enough chit chat, Ms. Troi. We can discuss the guest list more later," he told her as he took in her glorious form.
Deanna tossed her long, dark hair over her shoulder as she threw her head back and basked in his adoration of her body. She ground her hips against the hardness she could feel, still encased in his black uniform trousers. Reaching for the zipper, she began to unwrap her prize. This was yet another night that would continue to strengthen and solidify the permanent link between their minds that was sure to help them keep the other happy and safe.
