Logical Life-Mates

Disclaimer: I do not Own Star Trek in any of its forms. Sadly, it was invented by Gene Rodenberry and belongs to the corporations now.

Author's Notes:

This is a fan Fiction for fun using the Enterprise Series and her crew. It is a fiction that may be adult in nature. Ratings will be up to NC-17.

The primary characters will be Ambassador Soval and Amanda Cole.
Sub-Commander T'Pol and Commander Tucker pairing as well.

This may be considered an A.U as I have changed the destinies and personalities of several characters and ignored others. It may be taken as happening after the Kishara was found and after the displacement of administration V'Las.

Acknowledgements: This would not have been remotely possible without the assistance of Linda who betaed this monster. Her many helpful insights and corrections made this story a lot more readable and enjoyable and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Part III Choice

Soval managed to make it to his quarters and open the door. Amanda helped him in. It was clear to her that he was in a great deal of pain. She helped him over to the bed and he fell onto it with gratitude. His body was flushed from the effort. While Dr. Phlox had healed many of his wounds, he was still bruised from head to foot. His level of control was strained due to the machine that had been used to extract information. Amanda helped him lift his legs up and she blushed deeply as her hand slipped beneath his robes. She quickly pulled away and grabbed a blanket to cover him.

"I am not an invalid."

"No, Sir, I just thought it would -" She blushed. She looked away embarrassed. The fact was the blanket was for her benefit so she could not run her hands up his strong legs.

Before she could pull away, Soval drew her across his lap. She was off balance and fell against him. She found herself laying across his lap and looking up at him. It was a position that allowed him to look down into her eyes. She had been so shocked she had not sat up. Soval's mouth turned up a little as his right hand stroked her face gently. He shivered, his control almost shattered. Now was not the time for this. He felt desire and knew this small human had caused it. He shivered and wondered how he could have lost track of the time. He should never have left Vulcan. His fingers played across her face.

"You have cared well for me."

"Ambassador …I failed you. You were taken."

"Amanda, it was not your watch. Lt. Reed did not allow you to remain. He sent you to your post. I know you argued with him. The failure was not yours, it was not perhaps even his. Captain Archer trusted Commander Shran, a mistake, but it is one I also made."

Amanda swallowed hard. She had grown fond of this crusty old Vulcan and was suddenly feeling very uneasy. Soval allowed her to rise. He could tell she was very warm. His room was about twenty degrees warmer then the average crew quarters.

Logic suggested he offer her a chance to become more comfortable.

He looked at her. "Take off your jacket and pants. You may set it over the chair."
Amanda's arousal was very clear to Soval.

Amanda looked at him sharply.

Soval noticed her alarm. So he spoke softly. There is no need for you to be overly warm. I know you have a pair of shorts and a T-Shirt beneath. I would not have you become over heated."

Damn him and his double speak. Amanda thought. He knows I am aroused.
She looked at him sharply but slipped out of her jacket. She wondered what Reed would say if he saw her. She looked and noticed Ambassador Soval was reading. She swallowed hard and slipped out of her pants. Then she went to the couch and sat down. Grabbing a blanket, she covered her legs.

Soval looked over at her. He wanted her and he was determined to get her in his bed and at his side. When she had left to go clean up, he had spoken to Lt Reed. He made it clear that he wanted only Amanda as a guard, that only she would be allowed in his personal quarters. And he had verbally ripped Lt. Reed for removing his guard. This had ensured that no one would be coming to take Amanda's place anytime soon.

He closed his eyes and wondered how and when the bond had begun? Amanda had been assigned to guard him on several occasions before her posting to Enterprise, and he had been pleased to see her upon his arrival. He found her presence soothed him. Now he was annoyed that she was across the room from him. Yes, annoyance was an emotion, and it was one he felt often when dealing with humans. But somehow, he had rarely felt this around this M ACO.

The only really annoyance was when she flirted with Commander Tucker. Did she not know he was T'Pol's bond-mate? The human engineer was not serious enough for Amanda. She needed a male strong enough to keep her in line; a male who she could control would never win her respect. She needed a male experienced in life and one willing to indulge her every need. While Tucker was a fine specimen for a human Soval doubted, he had the stamina that Soval did. That was not arrogance, merely a deeply ingrained understanding of his own body and his own controls.

Soval sensed that Amanda would be every bit as passionate as a Vulcan female. He watched as Amanda tossed restlessly on the couch. He cursed and got up. He picked the sleeping human up and carried her to his bed. Though he had to rest, he would only do that with her at his side. He slipped his robe off and drew her under the covers. The t-shirt was constraining her, so he slipped it off her sleeping form. The shorts followed as he tucked her in next to his side. It was a measure of her exhaustion that she never resisted or noticed his actions. Soval allowed himself a smile. He stroked her cheek as she turned to rest it against his chest and wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly. Soval watched her sleep for a few minutes and then closed his own eyes to sleep. Amanda was right; a scan would be confused as he held her. Their bio-signs mingled as he held her close and felt safe and at peace.

Part IV Bonded -Teen rating or R

Amanda awoke to hands stroking her back. She felt fingers massaging her neck and realized she was skin to skin with someone very warm. She looked, stirred, and before she could move away, she was flat on her back starring up into Soval's eyes. His hands drifted to her face and he stroked her cheek with gentle care. The hunger she saw in his eyes astounded her. If she had any doubt about the condition he was in, his body told her she was mistaken. He was rock solid and she could feel his desire for her. He held her pinned and his hands slid down and caught hers. Soval looked into her eyes as he caught her wrists and drew them above her head. He watched as she swallowed hard. He could feel her heart beating rapidly and Amanda's breathing grew shallow.

"I want you Amanda. If you do not wish this, speak now."

She swallowed hard. "Ambassador, I…"

She tried to block her own desire and failed as she felt herself become warm and welcoming. Amanda could feel his need, lust and desire. His body called to hers. Soval watched her as she closed her eyes and gave in to his need, his scent surrounding her: the musk and spice. His smell that had drawn her from the first, the decidedly masculine scent that was uniquely Soval.

Amanda groaned and writhed against him unable to speak a denial of what they both now needed and wanted. Soval slipped his leg between hers and pushed them apart. There was no time for foreplay as Amanda bucked under him. She wanted him now and he could feel her need. She was screaming in his mind for him to take her, though she had yet to realize that he could hear her every thought. He thrust into her and she bucked up. In an instant, he was buried deep inside her.

Soval held her hands so she was pinned. Her eyes snapped open and he looked down at her as he bent his head to her shoulder and neck. Then he licked the point that connected her neck and shoulder. Amanda bit her lip to keep from screaming as he sunk his teeth deep. He drew blood, but this sudden action caused her to climax and go over the edge. He felt her spasm and followed her. He licked the wound as she shattered. He released her hands so he could hold her as he drove deeper. Amanda pulled his face to hers for a kiss. She let him taste her need. Soval filled her and immediately decided he was never releasing her. He looked down.

"You are mine." It was a command and his eyes seared her soul.

Amanda looked up at him shaking now. She tried to regain her composure but it was impossible to do when he was inside her.

"Sir, I am ---"

Before she could reply, he kissed her swallowing her refusal and showing her once more he was not letting go.

"You are mine. Say yes Amanda. Say you are mine." he flexed and she cried out.

"Soval….Yours. I am yours."

He smiled inside his mind, his fingers finding her katra points. "Mine. Always and forever. Touched and always touched."

Amanda gasped but repeated his words. "Always, forever. Parted and never parted." She did not know where the words came from, but she felt something inside her reach for Soval. She cried out and he swallowed her scream. He completed the bond and looked at her, a ruthless look on his face. Amanda shivered for a moment as he began to make love to her once more. The pleasure this time was so intense she passed out. Soval smiled as he slipped from her and covered her up. He pulled on a robe and commed T'Pol. He left a three-word message. "Amanda is bound."

T'Pol opened the message and relaxed. Amanda was now Soval's problem.
