Jim's Point of View

I let out a small yawn waking up. A soft sigh sounded beside me. I glanced over to the half-covered body. A green soft hue tickled her skin. Scars littered across her skin, majority of them are small. One was noticeable which was made before we made the trip to Nibiru. A burn at the bottom of my stomach formed when the thought of that Vulcan who was supposedly was her betrothed but defaced her because what she was. I reached over lightly followed her body with my finger tips. A content sigh left her lips. A smile started to form on my lips but a frown was placed on them instead. I should just get dress and leave. We both did what we wanted. She wanted sex so she wouldn't die due to her Vulcan biology whereas I wanted sex cause I felt an attraction towards her. It felt like a sexual attraction and not a hey-let's-become-a-thing attraction. My body and mind felt satisfied when I was able to release myself as well as feel her tighten around me when she was able to release. I nearly lost myself when she was getting off. I almost did not have time to pull out and release. I moved to a sitting position after I drank in her naked form. A thin sheet covered her waist down. I licked my dry lips. Last night was amazing. I could not explain to anyone how a Vulcan can be so passionate and caring in their love making. I wouldn't want to. I'd like to keep that thought and idea to myself, personally. I glanced behind me. Her right hand gripped the pillow she captured when I moved. I pushed myself off the bed and gathered my scattered clothing on the ground throughout the apartment. I think it would be best if I were to leave while she was asleep.

I stretched my sore muscles. A smile graced my lips. The relief of not having to deal with Pon Farr washed over me. The built up emotions was released last night and I could feel my body relaxing. I sat up slightly seeing no one is beside me. I called out knowing the answer, "Jim?"

No answer.

I stretched my arms over my head. Surprisingly he was a gentle lover. It was a change of pace from what life threw at me. I could still taste him. Sweet but not too overly sweet. I moved out of bed towards the still blinking P.A.D.D. I let out a heavy sigh, "I have to fix this."

I swiped at the screen. It listed all of the messages left in written form. I breathed in deep, "Oh dear."

Pike wanted to see me a few days ago. I couldn't as I dealt with my Pon Farr. I am sure Spock told the admiral of my situation. Another message was from Scotty who was worried. Once again, I am sure Spock told those who tried to contact me I am disposed of. I placed the P.A.D.D. to my side before getting up. I might as well get ready for today and see what damage has been done while I was gone. I took a long shower to rinse off of last night's adventure and change into my greys. If Pike wanted to meet with me, I believe it is a business get-together versus a casual. I tied up my hair into a bun. If there is one place I'd know where the admiral would be and that would be in his office.

Jim's Point of View

The admiral wanted to meet with Spock and I. I have a good feeling it has to do with the 5-year mission on the Enterprise. We would finally get to go on one with her. It would be great! I tapped Spock on the chest, "I have a good feeling about this, Spock!"

Spock narrowed his eyes. A couple of ladies walked by and I turned around with a smile on my face. I called out to the ladies, "Jim, Jim Kirk."

I feel good about this. I definitely felt good last night. I mentally shook my head. No, I should not think about that especially when her brother is right next to me. Both of us continued walking till we made it to the admiral's building. I opened the door for my first officer, "After you."

Spock entered. I nearly bumped into him when he froze to the spot. His words made me stop, "T'Saraphina? I see you are better from your..."

I stayed hidden from T'Saraphina's view. I glanced around the male Vulcan seeing the female version of his first officer adjusting her grey cap. Her voice sounded melodious, "Ah yes. I was able to figure something out. I see you are pretty popular, Admiral."

Pike chuckled, "Only if. Now I'm glad to see you are doing better, Sara. I'll send for you your orders."

I knitted my brows together. Orders? T'Saraphina nodded, "Thank you. I shall take my leave as it seem the captain and commander are here for a meeting, am I correct?"

Pike nodded. His smile left his face as a frown replaced it, "Correct. You're dismissed, Sara."

I watched as she gave him a nod. Pike called to the two of us, "Let's talk."

Spock started to follow Pike when he turned around to head to his office. I stayed back briefly. I grabbed T'Saraphina's wrist stopping her from leaving. I asked, "What orders?"

I saw she swallowed. She answered, "I have orders from Admiral Marcus to transfer to his command."

My mouth opened and closed, "Wait, what? Why?"

Pike called out to me, "Kirk."

She gently took her wrist out of my light grip, "I cannot say."

I brought my voice low only she could hear, "Was it about last night?"

I had to ask her. The tips of her ears and a light green hue brush over her cheeks. She cleared her throat, "No, it was not. Now if you excuse me, Captain. I have to report to the admiral."

I gave a nod. What is going on? Why would the head of Star Fleet ask for my senior engineer? I started for Pike's office. Spock was already standing in front of the admiral's desk with his hat underneath his arm. I forgot about my hat and slid it off of my head. I placed it underneath my arm. Pike followed me in, "Now gentlemen..."

This doesn't seem good.

T'Saraphina's Point of View

I pressed a hand to my bottom right. Calm heart. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath. I thought having a one night stand with my captain would be okay and I would forget about it. My body betrayed me when he grabbed my wrist. My heart immediately started to beat more than it should. I placed my grey hat on top of my head. Let's see what the admiral wants from me. Admiral Pike mentioned the Fleet Admiral's office was in headquarters, top floor. I was too in my mind thinking about what the admiral may want with me and about last night with my captain that I did not see a trenched coat wearing man heading my way. It seemed neither of us moved out of the way. I was too up in the clouds to notice and I cannot say for him. I rubbed my shoulder. I apologized, "I'm sorry. I was not looking where I was going."

A man with black hair and light blue eyes stared down at my person. He looked at my person up and down before stalking off. I frowned. That was rude. No acknowledgement of my apology. I continued on to my path towards the headquarters. The trip to the Fleet Admiral's office felt longer than it actually was. What was interesting was the Fleet Admiral requested me? Requested me to help find a particular man who may have access to Star Fleet's technology. Sure, I've written a report in my academy days on how you could easily trace someone's transwarp signature. However, who is this person that Marcus would want to find?
