'Resolutions' the way it should have been

By Chocobo87

'Oh, that feels good,' Janeway softly uttered as she let all her worries be rubbed away by Chakotay's strong, firm hands. In fact, she couldn't remember the last time anything had felt this good. Oh, what wonderful hands! Just as she was about to lose all sense of the physical world for sheer pleasure, she noticed how the hands on her shoulders were becoming less attentive, and how the breathing at the back of her head was getting heavier by the second. She froze. What's happening? He's my subordinate. No. He's not. Not anymore. No rules or regulations need matter in this place. No boundaries. Standing up, she turned towards him, looked at him. His eyes reluctantly met hers. 'Chakotay…'

'Yes?' His voice trembled. She stepped closer. Her cool hands on his warm chest. His, strong, smooth chest. Gently, as her arms wrapped around his neck, he pulled her body close to his, one hand between her shoulders, the other at her lower back. Their lips finally met.

As Janeway woke to the cheerful twitter of the birds outside she also became aware of the fact that she had just had the best night's sleep of her entire life, and that she had literally never felt better. Next she became aware of the strong, golden arms enveloping her. 'Hmmmm,' she hummed contentedly as she snuggled deeper into Chakotay's warm chest.

'Awake I see,' he whispered softly in her ear.

'I hope so. If this is just a dream, I'll be grumpy as hell when I do wake up," she joked, turning her head to kiss that beautiful face behind her.
