Chapter Eight: Giving In
Uhura was still upset when she and Spock made it to his quarters. She asked Spock where she could put her bag. He did not answer. He only took the bag and put it away himself.
"Nyota," Spock said gently. He touched her chin and moved her head so that she was looking at him. "You have not done anything wrong. Nurse Chapel will come to accept our union."
Uhura nodded. She hoped that Spock was right.
"I just keep seeing how hurt she was," Uhura said.
"She is your friend and you believe that you have betrayed her but you had not. Nurse Chapel had no claim to me. She cannot say who you or I should be with."
"I know," Uhura said. "And thank you."
Spock raised an eyebrow.
"There is no need for a thank you. I am your husband. Your wellbeing is my responsibility."
"Not for what you said. I was thanking you for not saying that my guilt was illogical." Uhura said with a playful little smile.
Spock sent a pleasant wave through the bond and Uhura took it as a sign that he was amused.
She then stretched to place a kiss on Spock's lips. Spock pressed his lips more firmly to hers. Uhura placed her hands on his shoulders. The hand on her face moved to cover more space. Spock's other hand went to her hip. They both took a step closer, pressing their bodies closer so that they were touching.
Soon the kiss became more passionate. One of Uhura's hands was in Spock's hair. One of Spock's hands rested low on Uhura's back and the other was on her hip.
Through their bond, Uhura could feel Spock's passion and she pressed closer to him. Since his body heat was no longer overbearing, she found it quite welcoming. She broke the kiss.
"I believe we are going to need to move this to the bed," she said between breaths.
The small tug of his lip signaled to Uhura that Spock was pleased by the suggestion. He said nothing as he led her to his bed.
He gently guided Uhura to sit on the bed. Uhura took the liberty to undress. Spock followed her lead.
Once they were undressed, Uhura reclined on the bed. She moved so that she was lying on her side on one side of the bed. She gave Spock a look of invitation. Without a word, he laid on the bed beside his wife. They were facing each other.
Spock raised his hand to stroke the side of Uhura's face. Uhura placed her hand on top of his and then gently moved her hand down his arm to his shoulder. She was fascinated by the pale green hue to his skin, the dark hairs that covered his arm, and the heat she felt radiating off of him.
Spock moved his hand from her face, down her arm, and took her hand in his. He moved her fingers so that her middle and pointer fingers were extended. He did the same with his hand and rubbed the two fingers up and down, around, over hers repeatedly. He watched her face as he touched.
Uhura closed her eyes as her body shivered in pleasure. She pressed her lips together and released a moan. Her heart was pounding and her breathing had quickened.
Spock continued to caress Uhura with his fingers as he leaned in to kiss her. Uhura gave a slight gasp of surprise but welcomed the kiss.
Spock grabbed hold of the hand he was caressing and pulled Uhura closer to his body. Uhura gasped when she felt her husband's desire press against her thigh. It was the only part of him that burned as hot as his touch of the days previous.
No words were said as the couple rolled over. Uhura was on her back, now in the center of the bed. Spock was on top of her. Uhura had spread her legs and Spock fit right in like a missing puzzle piece.
They stayed like that for a while, Spock cradled between Uhura's thighs. There was no movement to push further. Uhura enjoyed the feel of Spock's heated hardness pressed against her mound.
They were staring into one another's eyes. They were just enjoying the moment. They both knew that once Spock was inside her, there would be no turning back. They would truly be married in the eyes of not only Vulcan but also many cultures within the Federation. No one would be able to dispute their union.
"Spock," Uhura said in a soft raspy voice. "I'm ready now."
"Nyota," Spock whispered.
He kissed her before she felt him move and placed himself at her entrance. Uhura gasped against his lips when he pressed in. Spock ended the kiss to stare at Uhura face.
Uhura felt a burning inside her as Spock pressed further into her. It wasn't a painful burning but a pleasant heat that persisted inside her. The chill returned to her as an actual chill. A way to balance the heat. The mixture of the two sent a spark up Uhura's spine.
When Spock was fully inside her he stayed still. They continued to look into each other's eyes. Uhura had a pleasant smile on her face. Spock's lip was turned up.
He said one-word 'wife' before he began to move. Uhura gasped out 'husband'.
The pleasure that they shared kept getting higher and higher. Uhura's smile transformed into an 'o' as she began to moan. Her eyes closing, but she could still see her husband's face. She could still see his eyes. The lust that they shared was in his dark eyes. Uhura arched her back as she felt her peak coming closer and closer.
Spock wasn't entirely silent. He let out soft groans of pleasure. His fingers pressed against the side of Uhura's face. He melded with her and shared the way she felt to him. She could feel how wet she was for him. She could feel how tight she was. The intensity of their shared sensations nearly frightening.
Spock began whispering words of comfort to her and the fear dissipated. All she felt was the feeling of acceptance. The feeling as though they were made for each other.
Uhura realized that she could feel Spock's admiration for her and she could feel something stronger. Something she never thought she would feel from her husband. Love.
She could feel Spock's love and the feeling brought tears to her eyes because, in that moment, Uhura knew that she was in love with him too. She wasn't sure when or how it happened. She just knew that it happened and she was happy and she could feel that Spock was happy too.
She actually laughed a little at the relief of knowing that they were actually in love and it was knowing that love, feeling that love, and sending that love back in return that pushed Uhura over that final edge into the ultimate pleasure.
Her back bowed further as she felt the heat and chill run through her body. She let out a long cry of pleasure and she was sure she left welts on Spock's skin.
She hadn't even finished her own climax when she felt Spock's release. She felt it through the meld, through their bond, and physically inside her. Spock's climax added to her own and Uhura passed out.
When she woke up, Uhura was in Spock's arms. He had moved them so that her back was pressed against his chest. His face was buried in her hair and he was humming. Uhura threads her fingers in his and the humming stopped.
"Are you well?" Spock asked.
"I am," Uhura said. A huge smile was on her face.
Spock hummed in response.
"What do we do now?" Uhura asked.
"Now, we rest," Spock answered.
Uhura nodded and began humming a tune that lulled her husband into sleep. When she felt his breathing even out, Uhura fell to sleep too. She figured after the couple of weeks they had, they deserved the rest.
