Raina sat on a small bed glaring at the back of Damar's head. She was trapped behind a force field on a Starfleet shuttle, captured and caged. She knew that she had been abducted at the behest of Dukat.
After Dukat allied himself and Cardassia with the Dominion, Raina took their baby daughter, Cora and left, knowing that it wouldn't be safe for any Federation citizens. She never anticipated that he would sell her out to the Dominion.
"I'm guessing you're in a mood now?" She asked him. "Not about to tell you were my baby is."
"Quiet, Human." He hissed from pilot's chair, not bothering to look at her.
"No! I won't be quiet." She snapped. "You drugged me and stole a shuttle to drag me back to DS9. For what, may I ask?"
Damar sighed deeply. "You abducted Dukat's daughter."
Raina laughed harshly. "I'm her mother and I'm trying to protect her. He abandoned one lot of children and treats Ziyal abysmally. You think I'd expose Cora to that?"
"Just shut up, Human."
"Nope. If you want to play at abduction then no peace is the price to pay."
"If all Starfleet officers are like you, I can see why Dukat sided with the Dominion."
There was something about that barbed sentence that really hurt Raina right to the core. She was stupid enough to believe that he really did love her, but it became apparent that he didn't. She wasn't even sure if the man she loved actually existed.
It had been hours since he heard a sound coming from the Human and it had Damar concerned. He wasn't happy with being tasked the kidnapping of a respected and popular Starfleet officer and dragging her back to Terok Nor.
Dukat had, in Damar's opinion, an unhealthy obsession with the Human. Dukat even fathered a child with her. Not that Dukat had ever met the baby, as Raina had left the station before it was taken by the Dominion.
Admittedly, he understood the obsession. She was an extremely beautiful woman. She was the type of woman who immediately turned heads whenever she entered a room.
He got up from the chair and walked to the back of the shuttle to where she was. He found her laying on the bed, facing the wall. She had stripped down to her undervest and shorts, probably with the intention of using the blanket to cover her but at some point she had kicked it down, so it only covered her legs from the knee down.
He had never felt sexual desire for another species. Unlike Dukat, whose tastes were almost exclusively Bajoran, Damar only ever had Cardassian mistresses.
He wanted to touch her in a way that Dukat had. He heard in great detail, like many others, just how she liked to be touched. Her skin looked so soft and warm and her curves looked like they were made for Cardassian hands. But he would never be so disrespectful to touch her uninvited. She could also hurt him badly if she so wished, so he would never be so stupid. Humans, while amiable and reserved, could be quite vicious if they needed to be.
He left her to sleep and slumped back to the front of the shuttle.
A violent jolt caused Raina to wake with a start. The shuttle shook aggressively, the structure groaning under the strain. "Damar. What the hell is going on?"
Damar hit the button to drop the force field. He needed her help before they were both killed by the shuttle exploding. "Direct hit to the port side engine by space debris. Get here and help me, Human."
Raina jumped into the seat next to him, taking control of the shuttle; what little control they had. "Your piloting skills suck, Damar." She shouted as she tried to control the shuttle.
"We need to land, Human."
"I'm well aware of that, Cardassian." She bit back. "There's an L class planet a few klicks from here, we'll just be able to make it, but the landing might not be pretty."
As predicted, the landing was ugly, and the shuttle sounded like it was going to break apart as they broke the atmosphere. A loud bang from the back of the shuttle told them both that the only way was down.
The shuttle got closer to the ground and Raina realised that they were heading down to a deep ravine. If they went over, both of them were done for.
The shuttle hit the ground, causing both of them to lurch forward violently. The shuttle shook as it skidded over the ground before finally coming to a stop barely 10 metres from the edge of the ravine.
Raina sat up straight, groaning as her back and neck burned with pain. "That was unpleasant."
Both Human and Cardassian had to work together to build a shelter to protect them from the harsh sun. Fortunately, Damar had picked the ideal shuttle to steal as it was stocked with survival gear and rations so they wouldn't starve.
Once the sun had gone down, Raina had lit a fire and made Damar a bed outside of the shuttle. She told him that he could sleep in the shuttle too, but he declined. She didn't know if it was out of respect or disdain.
Pulling out a bottle of whiskey she found, she perched herself half in, half out of the shuttle. "So, are you going to tell me what Dukat wants with me?" She asked as she yanked the lid off the bottle and took a swig.
Damar sat up to look at her and his breath caught in his throat. Her hair was down, the messy locks framing her beautiful face and the fire light gave her creamy skin an almost serene glow. He held out his hand and she immediately placed the bottle in it. He'd never drunk whiskey before but it was said to taste like Kanar, so it would do. He took a swig and handed it back to her as he formulated an answer to her question. "I cannot answer that question. He doesn't update me on his intentions."
"Liar." She took a long swig and gave him the bottle again. "You are his trusted confidante."
"Do you love him?" He didn't know what made him asked that.
"I loved what I thought was him. That Dukat was my own invention."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Decent men don't sell out women they claim to love to a force that would see her species destroyed."
"He would prevent that from happening."
Raina laughed, ungracefully choking on the whiskey as some of it dribbled down her chin. "If you think the Dominion will give Cardassia even an inch of power, you are dumber than I thought, Damar."
"And what exactly would the Federation do for us?" Damar felt something stir within him as a drop of whiskey fell from her chin and disappeared into the valley between her breasts. Oh how he envied that droplet.
"You never gave us a chance to work that out." She didn't know if it was the whiskey or the signals that Damar was sending out, that made her groin ache with need. She hadn't had sex for months and he was an attractive man. She needed to put some distance between them. She stood up on achy legs and walked a little way towards the cliff edge.
He watched the Human and fear set in as she neared the cliff edge. Last thing he needed was for her to fall off. Dukat and Starfleet would string him up for that. He got up and stood behind her, so he was in grabbing distance of her. "Don't fall off. Please."
"This planet is beautiful." She stepped closer to the edge, and suddenly she was pulled back, stumbling into his arms.
Damar was torn. He had a beautiful woman in his arms, and he had two choices. Remain loyal to Dukat or give in to his carnal desires. He threw caution to the wind and hungrily claimed her lips with his own. Her mouth opened eagerly to welcome him in, his tongue connecting with hers, both tenderly and greedily at the same time.
His kiss was different. Dukat kissed possessively, like he was staking his claim. Damar kissed her like he wanted her to claim him. It was needy and wanting but almost loving. But he didn't love her. How could her kiss her with such loving intent when he didn't love her?
His hands roamed and explored her body as he kissed her deeper. He slipped his left hand into her shorts, palming the skin her bum, making her groan in his mouth. If he had any doubt, it evaporated as her hands found their way to the zips on his body suit and yanked it down.
They finally wrenched their mouths apart to breathe and study each other. But it wasn't long before Raina caught his lips again. "Do you want to fuck me on the shuttle or by the fire." She whispered, leaving the question on his lips.
By the fire, without question. He liked the way the fire made her skin shine. Instead of the answering the question, he picked her up and walked her towards the bed she made for him. He set her down gently, looming over her like a delicious threat. "Men could descend to madness over you."
"And what about you?"
"You make me disloyal and I like it." He kissed her neck, savouring the taste of her skin. She tasted like Jevonite cured Kanar, his favourite drink. His shrugged off his under suit from the top half of his body, desperate for more of her skin against his.
Taking his cue, Raina expertly pulled off her vest, exposing her breasts to cold night air, but warmed by the heat of his skin.
Damar positioned himself slightly to one side of her so he could admire the skin he was exploring. Her breasts were unlike a Cardassian woman. They were softer and her pink nipples hardened at the barest hint of contact. It seemed that Humans were made for pleasure. He was starting to understand Dukat's obsession with her.
He laid more kisses on her burning skin as he palmed each breast in turn. Her hand had woven into his hair, tugging at it gently when he hit the right spots. He got a taste of dried whiskey when his tongue teased at the valley between her breasts. Whiskey tasted so much better when tasted on her skin.
She seemed to sense his discovery and grabbed the bottle, taking a swig before pressing her lips to his. He happily drank the whiskey from her mouth. She smirked as she poured the whiskey over her breasts, groaning deliciously as he lapped up over drop he could. A moan stuck in her throat as he took her left nipple into her mouth, suckling greedily. The texture of his tongue worked so well that it sent waves of burning heat to her groin. This wasn't the fucking that Dukat would give her, it was explorative and intense pleasure between two people discovering an attraction that neither realised existed.
Damar hooked his fingers around the hem her shorts and slid them down her legs. He moved lower, positioning himself between her legs. Dukat had boasted about how she cried out with pleasure when he used his tongue on her and he felt obligated to outdo him. He kissed her inner thigh, inching closer and closer to her sex, but deliberately avoiding it. He turned his attention to her face, and she looked even more beautiful than before. Her cheeks flushed pink, her bright blue eyes looking at him with desire.
He was then he knew. He was lost to her, in the same way Dukat was. Now his loyalty to Dukat was ebbing towards loyalty to a perfectly design Human. He wanted to give her all the pleasure she could stand.
Once his Cardassian tongue probed her vagina, she was on the edge. His tongue was better than Dukat's and a lot more insistent too. She writhed and her back arched off the ground when his tongue lapped at her clit, sucking and nipping. She was on the edge of the most intense orgasm of her life. Her hands grabbed at the blanket beneath her, and she felt like she could pull the fabric apart with the adrenaline running through her veins. "Fuck, fuck." She cried. "Skrain." She wept as she came, burning from head to toe and her body shivering.
Damar didn't miss the fact that she cried out Dukat's name in ecstasy and he couldn't have that. He crawled up her body and kissed her gently as he entered her, his Cho'Ch constricted by the vaginal walls in the most blissful way. She was perfection and if considered himself lucky that he could have her in this way. He made slow, teasing strokes, absolutely in love with the way she whimpered when he got to a certain point. He would give her more in time but for now, he wanted to her feel him fully.
It was clear to Raina that Damar didn't just fuck, he made love as well. She felt love in the way he moved, all of the kisses he laid on her skin with each stroke. Dukat brought her pleasure but Damar brought pleasure all wrapped up with a bow.
"Say my name." He whispered against her lips as he moved.
"Damar…." She breathed out.
"No, not Damar." He nipped at her skin, leaving a mark. "My birth name. Corat."
"Corat….Corat."
His name never sounded so beautiful before. The way she said it was like warm Kanar on a cold morning. "You are so beautiful." He moaned as he increased the tempo of his strokes. He couldn't hold back anymore.
His hand dug into the flesh of her thigh as he pulled her leg up to her shoulder. His thrusts were deep, hard and fast, exactly how Raina liked it. He nipped at the skin of her neck, giving her a beautiful mixture of pain and pleasure. For the second time, she orgasmed, weeping his name in broken and coarse cries.
He threw his head back, groaning her name into the air that surrounded them and he spilled himself into her. His body convulsed with waves of pleasure before he collapsed down on to her. He slid he arms underneath her to cradle her against him, to satisfy the need to hold her.
Raina's eyes felt so heavy and she was absolutely spent from their love making. She felt so secure in his arms and he held her in a way that Dukat never did. When he pulled a blanket over her she fell asleep in his arms.
In the morning, they would work through the complexities of what they had done, both together and separately.
