A is for Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Beverly and Deanna are sitting in the back of the shuttle. Riker is at the controls. Worf sits stiffly in the co-pilot's chair.

"How long until we're back to the Enterprise," Deanna asks, for the third time in the last hour. Riker indulges her without commentary.

"A little over 4 hours now."

"Oh."

"What's wrong Deanna?" he calls over his shoulder, "Got a date or something?" He chuckles.

"You can't? What about last night. I seem to remember you saying it was the best you've ever had. Loudly."

"I'm in the bedroom. Kind of in the middle of something."

"I can't hear you."

Deanna sighs again and pulls her boots off.

"Dee? Could you come in here a minute? I could use some help."

"Fine! Whatever." Deanna mutters, not at all pleased to be doing anything. She stops short as she enters the bedroom. Beverly smiles. She is standing in the middle of the room, completely naked except for a dish of chocolate sauce that she has poured over herself.

"I was kind of thinking we could start with dessert…"
