Chapter 9: Choose Wisely
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek, obviously. Gotta love putting up disclaimers, anyways enjoy and stay ethical.
"Lore... I love you. What you're doing to me... Oh, I'm so dizzy." Fenix whispered into Lore's ear and began to nibble his neck. "I know exactly how you like to be touched. Every touch that you enjoy becomes stored into my positronic net." He breathlessly answered. He kissed her fiercely and passionately; his long fingers entangled in her long hair while passionately making love. Her legs squeezed around his middle with each of his languid, deep thrusts. He adored her dainty hands bashfully exploring his body. It was their very first time, he relished how her muscles clenched around his manhood. She was moaning louder as she begins to climax, then a loud crash of the cymbal rudely awoke him. He sat up to see what interrupted his intensely sexual dream, Fenix stood still had a plate of food. She accidentally hit the cymbal as she was walked around clumsily. Their eyes met and Fenix immediately apologized for her action.
Lore gave her an irritated look as he stood up. He put on a black, long-sleeved sweater that fitted close to his body. Fenix noticed how he seemed frustrated but she couldn't help herself from noticing his naked torso as he changed. She sat back down at the counter and sipped on her tea while cautiously stole a glance while he got his 'silicon-tea' as she likes to call it. Shit, I pissed him off. I didn't walk into his drum set and hit the cymbal on purpose, duh. I haven't been able to stop thinking about what he said a few weeks ago, it was really deep. Wow, I'm so articulate. That's all I could think about, it's like on permanent rewind. I'm pretty sure Lore noticed how distracted I've been from time to time. We made that promise to each other. Why was is left so friggin' ambiguous? Where do we go from here? I've just went on as usual around him. At least tried to... I should talk to him. All I know is that I want to be by his side, and whatever happens I'll cross that bridge when we get to it. What's that saying? 'Come what may'? Man, he's looks so deep in thought. I wonder what he's thinking other than calculating the theory of everything because that's what he does. He's an android. I forget that he's an android, he seems so human but much more complicated and special. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I don't how to place it. Whatever it is, it's intense and good. We have synchronicity that nothing comes close to it.
Lore nursed his silicon-based drink as he contemplated. I never used to have vivid dreams. Is it because I love her? Human emotions are indeed strange. Humans tend to want to experience a physical expression of intimacy with their romantic partner. I'm a bloody android! I have no need for procreation. Besides, we aren't in a romantic partnership. I never thought I'd experience desire. Like fire. It'll consume everything until she is mine, including myself. These emotions I feel for her are leading me to illogical thoughts. It's contradicting my analytical thought processes. Sifting through my usual thoughts, the one that keeps standing out is her. She keeps plaguing my thoughts no matter what. I can't seem to stop thinking about her. She is the biological female equivalent of myself; a man-made God. Fenix; my invincible Goddess at my side. The stars will be our playground, and the universe will be our kingdom. He glanced to his left to see her sitting at the end of the counter, resting her head on her arms on the counter like the first time he ever saw her when she was reassembling him; her eyes were closed as her bare legs dangled below her pyjama shorts. That dream...it will haunt me. She's still young. I'll have to wait until she's ready to have me... all of me. If it takes a hundred years, so be it. I'll always wait for her. After all, we have an unlimited amount of time. No one else can cease this fire. Everyone pales in comparison. I will not settle for anyone else. She will be my queen and I her king.
Fenix stood up and walked up to Lore and opened her mouth, carefully choosing her words, "Lore, I uh... about what you said a few weeks ago about being by my side, that you'll be my eternal, that meant everything to me... To finally have someone I can lean on if I need to, and... not needing to always have my guard up, and to be able to show my vulnerability without the fear. You're my best friend, but more. My partner in crime- you know what? I'm totally screwing this up, I don't know how to describe it because words can't do justice."
Lore put his drink aside and shifted in his chair to face her, his golden eyes were soft with adoration for the girl and he tenderly commanded, "Then show me." Their height difference was almost the same in their current position, Lore slouched a little to meet her. She slowly lifted both of her hands and started to touch the sides of his face. Her touch was as light and soft as a feather. Lore struggled to keep his eyes open upon feeling an intense sensation of pleasure until he eventually succumbed. She touched his hairline, traced his eyebrows, his distinguished nose, his curved lips, to his ears, down the curve of his jaw, and down his lovely neck, the back up his neck. She continued her ministrations as she gently kissed his forehead, another one on his temple, and another right at the corner his lips. She trailed her full lips down his neck and planted another kiss on the pulse of his neck. She slid her hands to his shoulders as their resting place, and her lips lingered for a moment or two until she slowly pulled back to see Lore. She couldn't determine his expression, feeling embarrassed she tried to slide her hands off of his shoulders until he grabbed her wrists; his hold was firm but not hurting her in any way. It took everything in his power to hold himself back from kissing her senseless and seducing her. His eyes held affection and longing as he spoke, "Kiss me if you want to seal the deal. I will be yours and you will be mine for eternity. Choose wisely, there's no going back." He released her wrists giving her time to make a decision of her life; his ultimatum. Her hands returned to his shoulders, bunching his sweater. She closed her eyes and thought hard. Then, she opened her eyes and took a deep breath, she loosened her hands and sensually moved to his jaw and traced his lips once more, her lips quivered with nerves and she leaned in slowly until their lips finally met. He tenderly returned the kiss, she pulled back when he started to intensify the kiss, her face flushed, eyes wide and her heart beating wildly.
With her fingertips Fenix touched her lips that just kissed Lore, she processed what happened between themselves. Lore smiled, savouring her innocence and what they had just shared; a sensual sacred vow. Fenix was still dumbfounded, all she could say was, "That was my first kiss." Lore replied, "Same here. Don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from." He stood up still grinning from ear-to-ear and added, "Get dressed, with all that excitement I feel like going on an adventure." She replied with a grin, "Yes, dear." and stumbled around the corner and got dressed. She was putting on her holster that held a ninjaken and a tanto on her left hip, a tricorder on the right and a modified phaser strapped onto her right thigh. Lore had a similar holster carrying a katana, a wakizashi on his left and two modified phasers; one on the left hip and thigh. Lore previously upgraded the swords with lighter and stronger material while Fenix modified the phasers so they resembled antique guns for added comfort and easier handling. She never cared for the phasers; she was always a gunslinger at heart. She found phasers weren't as satisfying as shooting off a gun, so she decided to bring an element of familiarity. Her eyes met Lore's, "Okay, I'm ready." and the two ventured out.
Lore and Fenix went adventuring quite often to fulfil their curiosities. Ever since the first time Fenix had a run in with an oversized wild cat-creature she's never left the house without her weapons. Even with her accelerated regeneration she'd rather avoid getting injured, unlike Lore, she still felt pain. They were walking for a good couple of hours until they noticed a Vulcan vessel plummeting to the planet's floor. They both looked at each other as if they telepathically communicated, 'Let's go, now!' They broke into a sprint. When they reached the crash site, they had their guard up, expecting the unexpected. She kicked the door open to find three injured Borg members. They grabbed Fenix, she fought them off with ease but refused to kill them. Lore on the other hand, was ready to kill if they were going to become any more of a nuisance or a threat to them. Fenix noticed the green Vulcan blood; her face became rigid with worry. Noticing this, Lore added, "I think the Vulcans escaped back onto their ship." She looked out the open door and sure enough, there was Vulcan ship leaving orbit. Lore unceremoniously threw the unconscious Borgs out of the ship and were transported back to where they came from shortly after. He touched the controls as he examined the damage. "We could fix this. Fenix, you understand Vulcan and you have previous experience with a Romulan warship." She answered back, "Yeah, I'm fluent in the language but I don't know how similar their ships would be. But I'll try." They were able to fix the vessel. It was a decent size, it had everything they needed to leave the planet for some time. Fenix happily spoke, "So Lore, I guess we'll be going on a little road trip, huh?" He grinned and replied, "You and me, my lovely Fenix... Just you and me, we won't need anyone else, the stars will be our playground." They took off and bid 'farewell' to Omicron Theta; uncertain of their destination, certain of a journey filled with excitement.
Just as the pair left, U.S.S. Enterprise D was arriving at Omicron Theta.
