Without You
It was always cold during the night, largely since the heating was never on during the early hours.
Enterprise was reminded of this fact as she crept down the empty hallways of the dormitory building, the chilly wooden flooring unpleasant against her bare feet and the mild draft brushing against her bare legs, her frame clad in only a loose black vest and matching panties. The lights were off but her eyesight had adjusted to the darkness, the faint amount of light peering through the windows helping guide her down the desolate hallway.
Many times she had made this trek at this hour; memories allowing her to avoid the three floorboards that would creak loudly should one step on them. She deftly avoided bumping into the half-full trash can, and went as far as stopping before the curtains; waiting for the gentle draft to stop blowing them before she continued walking. All to assure that she didn't make a single sound to give away her position.
Soon the carrier found herself standing before a nondescript wooden door, distinguished only by the gold laurel marking on the front. The Commander's door. As quiet as a mouse Enterprise grasped the handle and twisted it, allowing the unlocked door to gently creak open and reveal the Commander's bedroom; wreathed in darkness and the curtains tugged closed. And laying beneath the covers, fast asleep, was the Commander.
A spike of guilt hit her and Enterprise grimaced, tentatively creeping into the room and shutting the door behind her. She shouldn't be doing this, she told herself – but she needed to. She couldn't sleep otherwise, and she needed to be in tip-top shape for sortieing. She refused to let her allies perish because she was too tired to notice an incoming bomb or attack; even if it meant swallowing her pride.
With gentle footfalls Enterprise shifted over to the Commander's bedside... before peeling away the covers, and slipping underneath them; almost instinctively relaxing at the pleasant warmth that washed over her.
''Mn...'' Enterprise hesitantly shifted closer to his sleeping form, unable to take her eyes off his peaceful sleeping face. Something about the Commander always managed to calm her down.
Minutes passed and her eyelids grew heavy, and when it came she gladly embraced sleep, letting herself drift away.
X-x-X
Fire.
Buildings around her were ablaze, the ungodly heat tingling her skin as it flickered and roared. Thick walls of smoke blended in with the night sky, drifting up in lazy columns and blotting out the stars and moon, obscuring the world from her own personal hell.
Enterprise tried to move but she couldn't. Her arms felt too heavy, her hands sticky with half-dried blood. Her legs refused to move, trapped beneath her own weight. What remained of her rigging was scattered around her in bent chunks, her bow snapped in half and her landing deck shattered into a thousand pieces.
''Why...?'' She didn't hear her own voice. She heard the words, but she couldn't tell if she was even the one who said them.
A shadowed figure was illuminated by the raging flames behind them, slowly approaching her. A figure she had only ever met on the battlefield once, but had never been able to get out her mind since. Not least because their shared the same planes, the same rigging – the same face.
Herself. Or as she dubbed herself, 'Ash'.
''Once more you failed.'' Ash told her in a voice lacking any emotion. ''This, is the price of failure.''
A body landed in front of the carrier, her gaze magnetically drawn to the sound – and her heart stopped at the sight. The Commander, with a glowing gold arrow buried deep between his lifeless eyes, his skin pale and body stiff, unmoving.
''N-No...'' Enterprise tried to shake her head but couldn't; her gaze refusing to leave the Commander's lifeless body. ''I... I didn't... you...''
The sound of metal grating against metal made her look up, finally tearing her eyes off the Commander – and instead she found herself looking down the arrow of her dark counterpart.
''Do not forget.'' Ash told her gravely, and released the arrow. ''The price you'll pay.''
And then the arrow flew, piercing right between her eyes.
''Haah!'' Enterprise snapped awake with a gasp, eyes snapping open.
Heavy breathing filled her ears, and it took her a moment to realise it was her own. Her dream replayed over and over in her mind, the familiar scent of burning oil making her eyes sting with unshed tears, pain twisting at her heart.
''Mn...?'' A familiar groan to her right made her freeze. ''Enterprise...?''
The Commander blinked away the grogginess in his mind, confusion filling him at the sight of Enterprise in his bed. However as soon as he noticed her tears any such confusion swiftly took a back-seat, instead replaced by honest concern for the carrier – doubly so when familiar guilt clouded her usually-stoic features, tilting her head away.
''A-Apologies, Commander...'' Enterprise uttered, one hand quickly wiping away the wetness around her eyes. ''I... I had a nightmare, that's all...''
He smiled gently and took her hand, tugging it close and making her look at him. ''If you had problems you could've just came to me, Enterprise. My door is open to everyone; I don't mind if you need some company in the night.''
Enterprise flushed pink, glancing away. ''I was... too embarrassed to...''
''You don't need to be; I won't tell anyone.'' He said warmly, giving her hand a squeeze. ''Your secret is always safe with me.''
The covers shifted as Enterprise rolled over to face him, her cheeks still pink but now joined by a hesitant smile – and in a quick second she wiggled closer, snaking her arms around him and pulling him into an uncertain hug. One he swiftly reaffirmed, hugging her back and pulling her flush against him, one hand soothingly snaking up to her hair and petting her head, running his fingers through her long hair soothingly. She leaned into his shoulder and her breathing eased as she settled down, and he almost thought she was drifting back off to sleep, when she spoke.
''...thank you, Commander...'' Enterprise held him close -
-and swiftly leaned up, pressing her lips against his in a desperate kiss.
The Commander's eyes widened in surprise, his mind shutting down for a brief second – nothing but the sensation of her warm lips registering in his mind. After a long few seconds Enterprise started to pull back and he snapped out it, swiftly leaning in and kissing her back, his heart fluttering at the sound of her quiet groan of delight; a groan that spoke of great relief, and genuine affection.
His lungs ached for air and he pulled back, their lips separating with a mutual gasp. Enterprise blushed a cute red hue, her eyes briefly flickering aside before they were drawn back to his, embarrassment clear on her features.
''I... I love you... Commander...'' Enterprise uttered tentatively.
The Commander smiled slightly and stroked her hair, his own cheeks heating up. ''I love you too, Enterprise...''
Enterprise's eyes brightened with adorable delight – before she quickly hid it by kissing him again, her lips happily meshing against his own. The kiss lasted only a few seconds before they broke apart for air; and the moment she could Enterprise resumed the kiss with increasing passion, unable to get enough of it. A spike of fear wormed in her stomach at the thought of her dream coming true; of losing him to her dark counterpart. The possibility only made her grow more passionate, desperately kissing him in an attempt to convey her love for him.
She slid her hands up his chest and curled her fingers around his shoulders, kissing him deeply and muffling his soft groan. They broke apart for air and Enterprise boldly took it a step further, her left leg sliding against his before she shifted her weight with it, straddling him. He flushed red at her bold action and shifted his gaze up to her, his eyes briefly lingering on her ample cleavage before meeting her warm gaze.
''Commander...'' Enterprise breathed, resting forwards on her elbows. ''Please... make me forget...''
Any reply was silenced as Enterprise kissed him once more, leaning up against his chest. On reflex the Commander slid his hands down and laid them on her waist, shuddering at the sound of her gentle groan. They parted for air and Enterprise smiled demurely at him, reigniting the kiss not even two seconds later – and he shuddered as her right hand slid down, gently touching his hand and guiding it further down.
The Commander took the hint, sliding his hands down her smooth hips and around to her curvy ass – eliciting a muted groan from the carrier as he tentatively groped her ass. Firm and curvy, made all her more erotic by the feel of her thin panties; said underwear doing little to hide her curves. In response to his groping Enterprise kissed him more passionately, her hands blindly roaming up and down his chest as they kissed, the addictive feel of her lips all but demanding he kiss her more.
''Mn...?'' Enterprise pulled back from the kiss as she felt something hard rub against her inner thigh.
When the carrier looked down she found herself looking at his boxers; a visible tent forming beneath the fabric. Enterprise blushed a rosy red as she connected the dots in her mind, embarrassment flooding her frame... followed by a twinge of hesitant excitement. Slowly the carrier rolled her hips, shivering as she rubbed her panty-clad pussy up against his bulge, eliciting a strained groan from the Commander as their lower halves rubbed together.
''Nn... Enterprise...'' The Commander breathed out, shuddering.
Enterprise smiled tightly and kept doing it, moaning softly when he groped her ass in response. His gentle groping set her nerves alight with heated passion, a desperate desire flooding her stomach and making her move her hips more, groaning as sparks of pleasure teased her clothed womanhood. Even with the fabric in the way she could intimately feel his swelling hardness, the mere thought arousing her and leaving her squirming with anticipation.
His concealed cock swelled to full hardness swiftly, and after a moment of hesitation Enterprise stopped grinding against his clothed dick – and instead shifted back. The covers rustled as she incidentally pushed them back, crawling backwards until she was at eye-level with his boxers. She laid her hands on the waistband of his boxers but before she could act, a hand laid itself on her head.
''Enterprise... you don't need to...'' The Commander murmured.
Enterprise merely smiled; cheeks flushed but smile sincere. ''I want to, Commander.''
The Commander blushed and his protests died out, a shudder running through him as the carrier tugged his boxers down. His erect cock quickly sprung out and nearly bopped Enterprise on the nose, instantly making her cheeks flush a dark red at the sight. For a brief moment she hesitated, simultaneously awed and embarrassed by the sight of his dick, before she quickly crushed her hesitation and reached out, curling her fingers around his cock.
His low groan made her cheeks darken further, smiling embarrassedly. With tentative slowness Enterprise bobbed her hand, watching his reaction intently as she gave his cock a slow jerk. Several more slow jerks followed the first, each one so achingly slow it left the Commander wanting even more; something Enterprise was more than happy to provide.
''Ah...'' The Commander groaned as she slowly sped up, growing more confident with each bob of her hand.
Enterprise wasn't content with using just her hand however, leaning closer to his cock – before she gently kissed the tip, instantly extracting a low groan from the Commander. The pleasing sound prompted her to do it again, her hot breath brushing against his cock between slow kisses, each one deliberately slow and filled with warm affection; the soft smack of her lips sending shivers running up his spine.
Slowly the carrier trailed her lips down his dick, affectionately kissing every inch of his dick she could, savouring his sounds of pleasure. She tilted her head to the right and peppered kisses back up the side of his shaft, glancing up and meeting his eyes as she did so – her cheeks cutely darkening when she found him staring right at her, watching her every lewd action.
''Mm...'' Enterprise hummed softly and averted her gaze, refocusing on his cock instead.
The carrier trailed kisses back up to the tip before parting her lips open, and the Commander groaned deeply as she sunk her head down; taking him into her hot mouth. Enterprise slowly sunk down his cock, the hot wetness of her mouth making it impossible to breathe; his mind unable to think of anything but her pleasurable mouth. That was only heightened when her tongue tenderly lapped at the underside of his dick, unintentionally teasing his erect shaft more.
He shuddered as Enterprise started bobbing her head in earnest; quickly finding a good rhythm that left him panting for air. With each bob of her head Enterprise pushed herself deeper down, engulfing more of his cock and tenderly sucking him off, her hands coming to rest on his hips. The look of earnestness on her face as she blew him only made it all the more erotic, hot shivers running through his body as he endured the pleasurable sucking.
''Nn... Enterprise...'' The Commander breathed shakily, one hand snaking down and resting atop her head.
Enterprise glanced up at him and she smiled faintly, her purple eyes twinkling with affection. Her gaze didn't leave his as she kept blowing him, bobbing her head up and down his twitching cock and leaving a thin sheen of saliva in her wake, her hot breath washing over his cock each time she exhaled. Soon her pink lips were wrapped around the very base of his cock, his entire length surrounded by her hot mouth and the tip dipping down her throat, barely even making the earnest carrier twitch.
The Commander's gaze shifted down, glancing past Enterprise's face and down at her cleavage. Her black vest was loose to begin with but with her leaning forwards it barely hid anything; the angle giving him a perfect peek at her ample breasts. Enterprise was quick to trace his wandering gaze, her cheeks burning as she realised where he was staring – and swiftly got a lewd idea.
''Mmaah...'' Enterprise breathed as she pulled her lips off his cock, a thin string of saliva briefly hanging between her lips and his dick before it snapped. ''Here...''
With crimson cheeks Enterprise reached down and hooked her fingers into her short black vest, grasping the hem and lifting it up over her head. Her large round breasts jiggled lightly as they were freed from her vest, their alluring shape accompanied by perky pink nipples.
Slowly Enterprise crawled a little closer, her hands tenderly cupping her boobs and hefting them up – before smothering his cock between them.
''Nn!'' The Commander gasped sharply, buckling at the wonderful softness.
Enterprise blushed at his gasp and smiled embarrassedly, slowly sliding her breasts up and down his throbbing cock. The warmth of her soft skin felt so heavenly against his cock it was impossible to think straight, groaning between laboured gasps as she smothered his dick with her chest. She quickly grew used to the motions and sped up, rolling her torso forwards in tandem with sliding her breasts along his shaft, her lewd ministrations quickly eating away at his stamina.
He tipped his head back and grit his teeth, biting back a low groan when she leaned down and boldly licked the tip whenever it poked out from between her breasts. His cock burned with lustful desire, throbbing strongly despite his attempts to hold back his building climax, a groan escaping him when she purposefully squished her firm breasts together; the gentle pressure making his dick burn for release.
''E... Enterprise...!'' The Commander bit out, gritting his teeth. ''I-I can't- Mn!''
With a strained grunt his orgasm washed over him, a pleasant burn flooding his pelvis and spreading up his cock – before ropes of cum erupted from his dick. The tip disappeared between her breasts just as he came, eliciting a startled yelp from Enterprise as thick ropes of cum splattered between her plump breasts, coating her skin with his seed. Even as he came she kept rolling her breasts, watching in embarrassed fascination as several smaller spurts shot out from her cleavage and landed atop her breasts, the lewd sight making her stomach twist delightfully.
As his orgasm drew to an end Enterprise stopped moving, remaining still for a brief moment before finally leaning back – blushing darkly as she felt his cum dribble down between her tits. Her gaze flickered over to her vest and she quickly picked it up, shyly avoiding his gaze as she wiped her boobs clean of his seed; though her face revealed how aroused the lewd sensation made her.
''Haah...'' The Commander breathed, pushing himself up into a sitting position.
Enterprise glanced over at him, unceremoniously dropped her bundled-up vest behind her; it's duty done. His gaze flickered down to her chest and she blushed, offering him a demure smile that prompted him to close the distance – swiftly wrapping his arms around her lithe frame and meeting her lips in a deep kiss, muffling her happy groan. They stayed like that for a brief few moments, simply meshing their lips together and sharing an intimate moment, pouring all their emotions into the kiss.
Soon however lust blossomed again, his hands shifting from her lower back around to her chest. Enterprise groaned softly into the kiss as he tenderly groped her plump breasts – her tits still slick despite her clean-up, yet that only enticed him to squeeze them more. They had a pleasant firmness to them that dared him to squeeze them more, their alluring round shape too big to fit in his hands yet enticed him to try regardless.
''Mm...'' Enterprise shivered as their lips popped apart, her breathing heavy. ''Commander...''
He flushed as the topless carrier straddled him again, her hands snaking up to his shoulders before pushing him back down, his head hitting the pillow. Enterprise smiled hesitantly down at him, her nervousness mixing with her honest want as she hooked a thumb into her black panties, hastily tugging them off her hips. He tentatively helped her along, reaching out and gripping her underwear and pulling them down her thighs, leaving her to simply kick them off her shins and sending them flying somewhere across his bedroom.
Without her underwear on she was sat completely bare before him, not even socks to hide her beauty. His eyes greedily wandered over her nude frame, soaking in every detail from her round breasts to her long legs, simply unable to tear his eyes away from the entrancing sight. That was until Enterprise shifted, his cock twitching as her thigh brushed up against it; followed by her slim hand gently gripping his still-hard cock and angling it upwards, aimed towards her slick womanhood.
''Here I go... Commander...'' Enterprise murmured softly, smiling hesitantly.
He smiled warmly in return, laying his right hand over hers. Enterprise flushed and drew a slow breath, slowly lowering herself down until the tip pressed against her virgin folds – and a soft, drawn-out moan passed her lips as his cock slowly sunk into her slick entrance, sinking inside her pussy with aching slowness.
''Ah...'' Enterprise bit her bottom lip, groaning as her inner walls were spread apart for the first time.
The Commander groaned wordlessly in reply, his cock twitching as her hot pussy engulfed it. Instinctively his free hand moved to her hip and held her tight, enduring the hot sensation of her insides squeezing his cock – shuddering as Enterprise sunk even lower, managing to take just over half his cock inside her before finally stopping for breath, her ample chest heaving with her deep breaths.
After a long moment she shifted up, sliding back up his cock until the tip nearly slipped out – and swiftly plunged herself back down, moaning deeply as he speared back inside her. The lewd process repeated itself with aching slowness, yet the slow pace only made it infinitely more erotic; her inner walls clamping tight around his cock each time she moved too quickly. It actively took effort for him to not start bucking his hips, to give her just a few moments to adjust.
''Mm...'' Enterprise breathed, her eyes fluttering up to meet his. ''Y-You feel... really good...?''
He chuckled softly at her attempt at dirty talk, squeezing her hand. ''So do you.''
Enterprise blushed a dark red and smiled, both her hands coming to rest on his chest. The carrier sucked in a deep breath before beginning to move in earnest; tender moans passing her lips as she slid up and down his twitching cock. With each roll of her hips she managed to ease a little further down his cock, relaxing as she got used to the foreign intrusion and taking more of him inside her – hot pleasure burning her pelvis as his length sunk inside.
As Enterprise got more into it the Commander shifted both his hands around to her ass, lustfully groping her rear and earning a tender moan from the carrier, her bounces growing faster and more passionate. Her hot inner walls clenched tightly around his cock each time she impaled herself on his shaft, sweet moans filling his ears and making his cock throb with lustful desire – and he swiftly acted on it, bucking his hips up to meet her bounce.
''Ah~!'' Enterprise moaned out, her cheeks quickly darkening at the embarrassing sound. ''C-Commander... you- Mm~!''
The Commander grinned tightly and bucked his hips again, thrusting his cock up into her pussy. Enterprise mewled and rolled her hips more lustfully, sinking further down his throbbing cock until his entire length was engulfed by her hot inner walls – the divine tightness extracting a groan from him, and prompting him to thrust up into her weeping pussy more eagerly. Each buck of his hips was accompanied by her plunging herself back down, the tip hitting her deepest parts and making both of them grunt or groan, their mutual pleasure leaving them panting.
Soon the smacking of skin became to fill the bedroom as her pelvis slapped against his, Enterprise's hot moans becoming engrained into his mind as he watched the beautiful carrier ride his cock. Her plump breasts swayed and jiggled with her lustful movements, the arousing sight prompting his hands to abandon her ass and dart up to her chest, taking greedy handfuls and squeezing. The sudden groping made Enterprise moan, her hips buckling as a rush of tingling pleasure shot through her chest and knocked the wind out of her, yet leaving her wanting even more.
''Mm.. ahh~'' Enterprise screwed her eyes shut, rolling her hips faster. ''Commander... C-Commander...''
He shuddered as she uttered his name over and over again with near-feverish intensity, the sound of smacking skin joining her breathless murmuring. Her bouncing grew wilder and more passionately, impaling herself all the way down his shaft each time and clenching tight around his cock, her inner walls quivering around his shaft. He wasn't idle either, his hips aching as he bucked them up to meet her wild bounces and his fingers sinking into her firm tits, lovingly rolling them around in his grip.
''Nn...'' The Commander grunted as she tightened around him. ''E-Enterprise...''
The carrier only moaned in response, her hips buckling as the burning pleasure inside her grew and grew, her orgasm looming infinitely closer. The pressure grew to climatic levels and she instantly gave up bouncing, instead impaling herself all the way down his cock and furiously rolling her hips, moans spilling out her mouth as she stirring his throbbing cock around her quivering pussy until-
''M-Mm~!'' Enterprise clasped a hand over her mouth, muffling her loudest moan yet as orgasmic pleasure rushed through her body – her inner walls clamping tight around his throbbing cock even as she kept rolling her hips, extracting as much pleasure as she could from their intimate act.
The Commander grit his teeth, barely lasting a few more blissful seconds – until with a strained groan he climaxed, ropes of cum erupting from his cock and shooting deep inside Enterprise. The sensation made her buckle, a deep moan escaping her throat and her rolling hips slowing down, her strength leaving her as he pumped ropes of cum deep inside her womanhood.
''Ah... haah...'' Enterprise slowed to a stop, panting. ''Ahh... C-Commander...''
He groaned wordlessly in response, a spike of hot pleasure shooting down his dick when her inner walls clenched and quivered around his dick. With a groan of her own Enterprise collapsed onto his chest, both of them left panting from their activity; forming the only sound in the bedroom.
An unknown amount of time passed before Enterprise shifted, lifting herself off his cock and resting up against his side, her head hitting the pillow next to him. For a brief few moments she simply stared at him with warm affection, her lithe hand coming up and stroking his cheek with open love, the gesture making his warm cheeks flush red.
''...promise me one thing, Commander...'' Enterprise breathed softly, snuggling up against him. ''Never leave me... please...''
The Commander smiled, snaking his arms around her. ''I promise.''
Within a matter of minutes the two were fast asleep – and from that day forth, Enterprise was no longer haunted by nightmares of her dark counterpart.
