View From the Bushes

by Mriana

Janeway and Chakotay are on New Earth. Janeway sees Chakotay bathing in the river as she peers through the bushes. Note: this story was inspired by a fellow writer's fiddle pic. If you want to see the pic you can view on my site with the story.

View From The Bushes

I peer through the foliage and
See your nude bronze body bathing in the river
Your rippling biceps glisten in the sun
Your pecks dance as you raise your hands to your head
Your hard muscular body moves me.

Oh Chakotay, if you only knew how much I want you!
We could be the new Adam and Eve of New Earth
But I'm afraid you'll reject me because I've pushed you away
In favour of finding a cure for us
So we can return to Voyager.

I don't know what I want more
You, Voyager, or home
I want all three
But I'd give anything to touch your body
At least once before we leave New Earth.

I step into view and onto the riverbank
At first you are startled
Then you look puzzled
As you watch me slowly remove my clothes and join you
"Kathryn?" You inquire, but I silence you
As I place a finger on your lips

"Make love to me," I softly plead pressing my body close to yours
Kissing you gently
But our passion overcomes us as we caress each other
Finally, I have my Angry Warrior in my arms
Making sweet love to me.
