Meanwhile, Lore and Fenix arrived at Risa. They were trying to get a rent out a room, but because of their visible age difference the woman was giving Lore a hard time. Fenix stepped in, she played her 'sad and innocent girl' card to her full advantage and sweetly spoke to the receptionist, "He is my warden, he's been kindly looking after me ever since my parent's passed away and he wanted to give me a chance to relax from all the mourning I've endured. I'm aware that the only rooms left have only one bed. He doesn't require sleep like most of us, and I'd feel much safer and contentment to be in the same room as him." as she held on to Lore's arm and giving the woman a sad, faint smile.

"Oh, you poor thing, I'm so sorry I got the wrong idea. Here you go, dear. Here's the key." And the receptionist handed the key to Lore. As they walked to their room, they had to contain their victory. Once they were in the room, Fenix burst out laughing while Lore taunted her, "Tsk, tsk, Fenix. Deceiving people is not proper. I don't condone that sort of behaviour. I think you deserve a punishment." he grinned deviously as he stalked closer to her. Fenix's eyes widened with confusion.

"Dude, I was fly back there! Cut me some slack, bro. I got us a room now, didn't I?" Fenix chimed as she backed up into a wall, Lore kept stalking her until they were face to face. His face softened, his yellow eyes looked into her purple eyes, then lingered on her lips. Fenix blushed and tried to slide past him, but before being able to take one step, with his palm he swiftly slammed the wall; caging her in with his long arm. She looked at his face surprised, Lore grabbed her by her belt; pulling her flush against him and kissed her fiercely yet slowly; not wanting to frighten her. Her hands instinctively touched his chest and moved to his shoulders to steady her legs, as if Lore knew he slid his arms behind her lower back to hold her steady as he kept kissing her senseless. She couldn't stop the soft mewl of pleasure that escaped her throat. Lore smiled into his kisses when he heard that wonderful sound coming out of her. He noticed her spike in body temperature, and her increased heartbeat. His kisses moved down her jawline, her earlobe and down her neck. Her mewls became more pronounced then opened her eyes, realizing what this could lead to and became overwhelmed. Lore sensed her awareness and slowly stopped kissing her neck; he never had the intention of proceeding any further from the moment he kissed her; taking her innocence into account, one last nibble on her pulse point which beat aggressively fast he grazed his lips to her temple and planted a kiss there, still holding her close to his body, he whispered in her ear, "You took your punishment very well." and bit her earlobe one last time. He gave her some space; still holding on to each other. Fenix tried to speak, "I-I'm dizzy, um... Can you give me a minute?" Lore chuckled and kindly replied, "I'll give you all the time you need." And everything your heart desires, my ethereal Fenix... But he held back, instead he kissed her forehead. After a moment or two later, Fenix was able to stand her ground. She calmed down and changed the subject, "Hey Lore, do you want to go surfing?" asked Fenix.

"Surfing?" Lore quirked an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I used to surf back in the day, what can I say? I'm a west coast girl after all. It's a water sport that you use a board that you stand on to ride the waves. How about we just go, it's easier to show you. I think you'll like it, it's a lot of fun." Fenix coerced. "Might as well. So far everything you recommended have pleased me so far." He replied.

They left the resort and out to a secluded beach. Fenix taught Lore how to surf and he naturally caught on with ease. "Lore! You're nailing it!" Fenix exclaimed and fell unceremoniously into the water as she failed to pay attention to her own waves. Lore laughed at her as she got back on the waves quickly not wanting to miss a single moment. "You're right, Fenix. This is quite enjoyable." Lore agreed as he gracefully slid through a water tunnel. She tightened her knee-length border-shorts as she skidded through tunnels of water, flaunting her skills a bit and caught Lore's attention. This was something she was good at, it brought her fond memories and added new ones that day. They spend most of the day surfing, eventually they returned to the shores when the skies burst into colours of orange, red, and purple. They stayed there to swim under the stars and the full moon then made their way back to the resort and back to their room.

They changed into their sleeping clothes, reminiscing their day at the beach and having a few laughs. "Hey Lore, you know you can lay beside me, right?" nonchalantly suggested Fenix. "I see that you decided to take up on my offer. Well, I don't blame you. I AM anatomically correct and... fully functional." Lore suggestively ginned and made a 'kissy' face while maintaining eye contact with her. Her face instantly turned red as she grabbed a pillow and shoved it in her face as she groaned. Lore chuckled at her as he walked towards the bed and laid down beside her. She removed the pillow from her face after she calmed down. She asked Lore, "I think I had my fill of Risa already because there's so many people here. Is that bad?" Lore chuckled at that, "No. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure you're aware of how I feel about people. We could leave tomorrow."

"Only if you're okay with it."

"I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise."

"Okay, let's head out tomorrow." She agreed as she became sleepy. "Lore? Can we just stay like this tonight? I feel... I don't know, I just know that I like being close to you. I'll try not to make a habit of it." She asked gingerly. Lore smiled and demanded, "Start making it a habit." He adjusted his body so she can lay her head on his arm; her leg and arm draped across his body, her own body flush against his own. She snuggled into him, and softly spoke moments before succumbing to her slumber, "Thank you, Lore for... everything." Lore remained quiet as he gently massaged her head. He set himself to go into stand-by mode in five minutes. Then he began dreaming.

In his dream, Lore was arguing with Fenix. "I was just being nice, Lore! I only helped Data out with the mechanics of his experiment! He's your brother for fuck sakes!" Fenix was defending herself. There were unshed tears welling in her eyes.

"'I was being nice, Lore...'" He mocked her. "I see how he looks at you. He wants you. And you don't even do anything about it. Might as well through yourself at him." Spat Lore.

"How could... how could you even say that? After everything we went through? And Data is not like that!" She shook with pent up frustration and anger.

"Data this. Data that. Data, Data, Data. Seriously, Fenix. You don't think I noticed how much you mention HIM?" He egged her on.

"Stop it, I mean it, Lore." She warned.

"Do you honestly think that HE could ever please you as I have? Admit it, you need a bit of a monster in your man. After all, you're not exactly all human." he taunted her.

"Stop it!" Her voice cracking as she yelled back.

"Do it, Fenix! Show me your fierceness, my celestial queen!" He demanded. Fenix became quiet and hit him hard in the face. "Now that's more becoming of yourself." He triumphantly smirked as he stood back up and nursed his cheek. Then he hit her back, hard and escalated into a full Jeet Kun Do match between them. Lore was grinning as they fought each other, he was enjoying this. Fenix on the other hand had pure fury burning in her amethyst eyes. Fist flying and kicks were getting thrown at each other. Lore couldn't help find her breathtakingly beautiful when she was angry. He knew this wasn't the way to treat her, but he couldn't contain his jealousy. He knew his younger brother was pathetically falling in love with his queen and she wasn't aware of her own feelings towards him either. When he saw the opportunity, he grabbed her to pull her in close and kissed her fiercely and bit her lip, drawing blood. She roughly pushed him away, she lifted her left hand to touch her lips, stunned. He noticed a wedding band on her ring finger and looked at his own hand with a matching ring. She charged towards him and jumped on him; wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him back with just as much force. He slammed her into a wall, crumbling it as they kept feverishly kissing. They somehow ended up on the floor as they tore each other's clothes off. Fenix was on top of him as she kissed him senseless with the taste of copper lingering on their tongues, he lifted her up as he jumped back onto his feet and slammed her back onto the wall as he slid his manhood in her. She threw her head back; her eyes widened and they stared into each other's eyes with an undeniable, burning passion as he slowly started to bury himself to the hilt. Emphasizing with each thrust; a reminder to her that she belongs to him and only him. She was his Goddess and he was her God; the only one capable of properly pleasuring her. The way it's always been, the way it's meant to be. She responds to his touches and he fucks her against the crumbling wall as she moans louder and kisses him violently; her hands digging into his shoulders and pulling his hair, and her strong legs squeezing his waist; a death grip, if he was any biological humanoid, he would've been dead. When he had a chance, he bit her nipple as he continued to assert his dominance. That's where his dream ended.

He woke up to see Fenix was awake and eating breakfast on the couch. "Morning, Sunshine. Thanks for sleeping beside me last night. By the way, you totally make the best body pillow." She giggled and took another bite of strawberry shortcake. "How'd you sleep?" She sat cross legged in her pyjama shorts reminding him of his dream. He shook it off and replied, "Fine." Fenix blinked a few times noticing his dismissive behaviour and brushed it off. She finished her cake, stood up to go get dressed. Lore followed suit and got changed. He was still unsettled from his dream. Am I destined to become that way? Was that a warning? I was vulgar, controlling... No. I will not become that. Dreams are just dreams. Then he lightly touched his lips, reminiscing the pleasurable part of dream he had. That Jeet Kun Do match... simply delectable. I can almost taste her blood. Oh, God help me! She was titillating. She will drive me mad as a hatter. All in due time. His thoughts were interrupted yet again by Fenix, the very woman he was fantasizing about. "Hey Lore! You ready yet? Let's go!" And the pair left for their Vulcan vessel and readied to leave orbit.

Back on the Enterprise, Geordi reported to Riker. "No luck, commander. The receptionist confirmed that Lore and Fenix checked in yesterday and checked out moments ago."

"That means we just missed them. I don't understand how we couldn't find them yesterday. It's not that hard to spot these two..." Riker vented.

"A white-skinned man in his mid to late thirties' with yellow eyes and a teenage girl with purple eyes would be hard to miss indeed." Data confirmed. Then he noticed something on his console, "There is a single Vulcan vessel in orbit, it is preparing to leave."

Riker ordered, "Hail the vessel!"
