AN: I read "Spin the Bottle" and loved it- I recommend you read it, but the basic idea is that during a pyjama party, at which a slightly tipsy Janeway has fully dressed up for (unlike most of her crew), has been invited by Tom to play the 20th century game of Spin The Bottle. She is sitting between B'Elanna and Harry (who has just given her a peck on the cheek- as he tried to explain how to play), Chakotay is opposite her with Tom beside him. In Singing Violin's version, Chakotay is kissed next, but in this (which can fit inside the story as shown here) is about Paris getting a little taste of his own medicine. Not serious J/P.
Tom was about to object to the lameness of Harry's kiss, but looking at the captain, decided that this would be against better judgment. Instead, he addressed his captain. "Okay, Captain, it's your turn to spin the bottle. And just so you know, it's usually more…well…you can do whatever you want, but feel free to kiss your victim…er, subject…on the lips."
"I see, Lieutenant," she acknowledged, raising an eyebrow as the others giggled. Moving to the centre of the circle, she spun the bottle as instructed, putting her hands over her eyes.
The bottle stopped at Tom Paris, who was shocked and reddened recalling not only what he had just said but also the time when he and Janeway mated and had lizard babies. Janeway was surprised too, and also remembered what Tom was recalling. Tom saw the twinkle in her blue eyes as she moved in front of him; he unconsciously held his breath, wondering what she would do next. "I think you said I could kiss my… victim on the lips is that right Tom?" He blushed but before he could answer, he felt her lips gently press against his own before she broke the connection and sat back down. "So victim did I do it correctly?" She grinned at Tom's stunned face; he sort of nodded before turning an even brighter shade of red. The others laughed at the look on his face, but they were stunned at the Captain's mischievous behaviour. B'Elanna turned to her Captain "I have never seen Tom speechless for this long before, thank you for the miracle." Captain Janeway blushed slightly.
Chakotay was slightly jealous that Paris got to kiss the Captain. He could tell that apart from the embarrassment that Tom had enjoyed the kiss. Thank the spirits that he had not returned it because they would be without their best pilot for a while. He did note though Kathryn did not prolong the kiss, but he too enjoyed the stunned silence of Paris.
Tom for his part was very surprised. His Captain was a good kisser, but he knew that kiss was the equivalent of a quick peck. Thank goodness he didn't respond because B'Elanna would kill him for his reaction. There was only one way to get his revenge and settle his curiosity about a certain Command team who just happened to be sitting opposite each other…
When it was Janeway's turn again, Tom took the opportunity as the bottle slowed to a halt, to bump it slightly so that it was pointing directly at Commander Chakotay.
Chakotay gulped, wondering whether it had been such a good idea to invite the captain into this activity, but she looked directly at him, mischief in her eyes.
