Waking to the sound of her door chiming, Hoshi got up and sleepily made her way over to it. When she pressed the button, the door opened revealing Malcolm on the other side.
Without waiting for an invitation, Malcolm crossed the threshold, shutting the door and locking it without taking his eyes off her.
"What are you doing here Malcolm?" Hoshi asked backing up. She knew there was nowhere to go in her quarters to get away from him, but her instincts had kicked in.
With lighting fast reflexes, he grabbed her with one arm stopping her retreat. "I'm going to make love to you Hoshi. Make love to you like there isn't going to be a tomorrow. I'm not going on that away mission and chance that I could die without ever knowing what loving you is like. I've pictured it you know, over and over again. What it would be like to have you beneath me, calling out my name as I make you explode. How it would feel to hold you afterwards, wrapped in my arms, whispering words of endearment, telling you how much you mean to me and how wonderful what we just shared was."
She couldn't speak. For so long she had dreamed of him saying these things to her, having him make love to her. She knew this mission he was going on could very well be his last and that she might never see him again. She also couldn't let him leave without knowing all the things that he spoke of and the things that she had imagined over the time they had been on Enterprise. Looking into his eyes and still seeing her Malcolm, she made a decision.
"I want you too. I always have. And I don't want you to leave tomorrow without knowing what it's like to make love to me."
He needed no further invitation. Pulling her closer, he kissed her. Tenderly at first, because he didn't want to startle her any more than he had already. When he felt that she was relaxed and enjoying the kiss, he increased the pressure of his lips and then ran his tongue along hers in silent invitation for admission. She moaned, opened her mouth and their tongues began a mating ritual of their own.
Reaching down he picked her up without ever breaking the kiss. He carried her over to the bed, and gently lowered her. He brushed the side of her face with the back of his hand. "You are so beautiful. Your skin is as soft as I thought it would be."
"What else have you wondered about?" Turning her head she kissed his palm.
"Oh Luv, I've wondered so many things. What you look like naked, how hard my mouth could make your nipples. How tight you are going to be wrapped around me." Seeing the look on her face, he smiled. "I know, not exactly proper thoughts for a gentleman to be having about lady. But I swear Hoshi, I care for you. Very much. Those are lustful things, but I have other thoughts as well. What would your hand feel like in mind as we walked along a beach or what would it be like to dance with you or to have dinner and talk about everything and nothing?"
"Make love to me Malcolm. Discover those lustful things and when you come back to me from the mission, then we'll discover the others. And you are coming back to me. I intend to give you every reason tonight to come back.."
Reaching down, she pulled the hem of her nightgown up and over her head. Malcolm couldn't believe his eyes. She was gorgeous and so damn sexy. Moving off the bed, he pulled his shirt off and tossed it. Pulling his shorts down he was gratified with Hoshi's gasp as she saw how hard he was. Moving back over to her he eased himself down beside her and began to kiss her.
