Riker paced his room, it was not his day. The last thing he needed that morning was his only clean uniform to rip. Hearing the ding announcing someone at his door. "Come in."

"You called sir?" The female asked.

"Can you mend this Melody? As of right now, it's my only clean uniform."

"Sir this is the third time this month. You need new uniforms made." Taking the clothing in his hand.

Watching her do her thing. "I know. I haven't had time to go in and get refitted."

Melody's fingers moved fast as she fixed his uniform. "I've heard on deck, you, Captain Picard, and the others have had little time for anything else but work."

"That we have."

Melody stood, handing the uniform back at Riker. "I'm finished, Commander Riker."

"I'm always amazed how fast you are at that."

"You have had me fix your clothing enough times. I've gotten quick at it sir. But thank you, Commander Riker."

When she made her way to the door to leave he called after her. "You are aware you can call me Riker or Will."

"I am sir." She smiled at him.

A few days passed before things eventually calmed down. Riker needed a drink after it all. He smiled seeing Melody at the Ten Forward Lounge. "May I sit?" He asked after getting himself a drink.

"You may."

"It looks like I may now have time for that fitting."

"You haven't been to your room yet. Or you would have seen a pile of new uniforms. You're one of the few members on the starship where I only had to adjust a few of your measurements. They should fit better with no more ripping. I thought since you have been so busy I'd do you a favor."

Leaning on the table. "I was so looking forward to having you take my measurements." Flashing her one of his signature smiles.

"Sir, I'm the best at what I do. With your measurements on file, I had just needed to see you up close a few times. With that, I was able to make your new uniforms. Though it would probably be smart for you to come in, make sure my measurements are correct." Seeing him smile softly at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shaking his head. "It's nothing."

Eyeing him suspiciously. "If you say so." Reaching for her drink Melody downed it in a few gulps. "I'm sorry to rush off like this. I've got some last-minute work to finish. Thanks for sitting with me."

Guinan joined Riker at the now empty table. "I see she's oblivious to your flirting like all the others who've hit on her."

"She's been doing that for as long as I've known her. I noticed that every time I even slightly flirt with her it goes over her head. It's now kind of unintentionally become a game to see if she will get it or not."

Guinan chuckled. "You've never had someone not fall for one of your pick-up lines before. Have you?"

"There is a first time for everything."

Riker left the lounge a few hours later, taking one of the many long ways back to his room. He ran into Melody coming out of holodeck seven. "Commander Riker sir! Something wrong?" Her cheeks were bright pink.

"I should be asking you that. You're flushed."

Melody touched one of her cheeks, feeling the warmth radiating off them. "Oh, I am. I promise I'm fine sir, thanks for asking."

"One can only assume it was because of the holodeck. What were you doing in there that has caused this?"

Riker didn't believe Melody could be any redder than when he ran into her. Yet her face looked like one of his uniforms. "It's nothing, sir, I promise."

"It must be something. All this time that I've known you. You've never been like this before. I'm intrigued at what has you this flustered." Riker set up to replay the latest program.

He heard Melody squeak when the doors to the holodeck swooshed open only to shortly swoosh shut when they both entered, Riker found themselves on a beach. There was a perfect sunset with not a cloud in the sky. Waves crashed against the sand as the smell of sea salt and coconut wafted in the air. You could hear the occasional seagull off in the distance. "This is what has you flustered?"

"There is more."

Riker turned back around to take another look at the place. He spotted an outdoor round daybed with a retractable canopy. The canopy folded back before the computer-generated person climbed out. Riker's jaw dropped, he was looking at himself. But the fake self was half-dressed, in nothing more than swimwear. "You care to explain?"

"I'm internally dying right now. So not particularly."

"I've flirted with you on multiple occasions Melody. You've never displayed once you were aware of what I was doing. Now I find this."

Crossing her arms. "You never would have either if you'd just let go of why my face was red." Seeing his face Melody sighed. "Computer, discontinue beach Riker please."

"Beach Riker?"

"You're not making this any easier."

"Says the person who's been keeping a big secret." Placing his hands behind his back. "Why though? You're aware I find you attractive."

Kicking some sand around with her foot. "I've liked you from the moment we met and you needed your shirt mended. It started as a crush but got momentum over time. Though I know I'd be nothing more than just another woman you've been with. I pretend not to pick up when you flirted with me. And would occasionally come here to do different scenarios like we are together." Tugging at her shirt sleeve. "Now that I've embarrassed myself enough, I'm going to go hide."

Riker stopped Melody. "You feel that way?"

"Yes, now please let me leave."

Shakings head. "I can't, for two reasons. One, I'm hurt you didn't give me a chance to change the fact you'd be more than just another woman I've been with. Secondly, if you had fake me dress that way. What were you wearing?"

"If you want to know that, you have to wear what I had fake you in." Melody hoped that would deter him from finding out. It failed when a mischievous smile popped up on Riker's face. It didn't take him long to oblige to Melody's request.

Riker stood before Melody in the swimwear his fake self was wearing. "Ok, now that I'm in this. It's your turn."

"Honestly I didn't think you'd go through with that request. Especially after the incident with Berkley. But fair is fair, I guess." Melody took a deep breath. "I hope you know this is very nerve-wracking for me. I never figured I'd be doing this with the real you." She removed her sweater and pants. Revealing swimwear that barely covered her.

Riker whistled when his eyes fluttered up and down Melody's body. "I can't believe you've been hiding that." He closed the gap between them. Touching a strand of her soft, silky blond hair. "What exactly do we do in your simulation?"

"In this one, we spend it on the lounger for two." Riker guided Melody over to it, pulling the canopy forward after they climbed in.

When they both were in the seat for two. Melody instinctively curled up to Riker like she's done so many times before. Her head rested on his chest listening to his breathing and the thumping of his heart. Her left hand played with his chest hair while her left leg lay entangled with his legs.

Riker's arms wrapped around her, playing with some other hair again. "This isn't too bad." He looked out towards the ocean. Listening to the waves crash against the sand.

"Not bad?!" Tilting her head up at him. "If you aren't jumping straight into sex. Anything else is not bad." Sitting up when Riker chuckled at her. "What is so funny?"

"No one has called me out like that before."

"Oh." Melody nervously bit her bottom lip, looking out onto the ocean.

Riker reached out touching Melody's face. When he guided her gaze back to him. "I like it." He smiled at her. "And this simulation."

"You like it because of what I'm wearing."

"Why shouldn't I? You've been enjoying me dressed like this."

Melody looked back out at the ocean when she took a deep breath. "Things will be different now you know about all this."

"You sound so sad by that."

"No more you shamelessly flirting with me. Thinking I don't understand that you're doing this."

"We can still do that. I enjoy flirting with you, seeing if I can make you blush."

Tilting her slightly to the left. "How? You know I get when you are flirting with me."

"I'm intrigued that what kind of flirting can make you blush. That when we leave here we keep that up. I'll keep flirting and you can keep pretending not to get it."

"If you promise to not tell anyone about this." Melody motioned to where they were.

Riker cupped Melody's face with one hand. "I promise." His thumb rubbed against her cheek.

Melody leaned forward kissing Riker. Not breaking their kiss Riker leaned back bringing Melody with him. Moving slightly so she was laying above him. Melody could feel Riker's excitement between his legs. Reaching up Riker undid Melody's top, tossing it aside. She blushed causing him to smile. "Can't believe this is happening." Confessed Melody.

Riker moved so she now laid on her back. He propped himself above her. "Are you ok with this happening?"

"Yes. I have so many butterflies in my stomach because you are now seeing me."

"Everything I'm seeing is perfect."

Her face reddened for what she felt like the millionth time. "You're so determined to keep making me blush."

Trailing a hand down to her bottoms. "I haven't had the pleasure of seeing you do it. I like it on you." Hooking a finger around the cloth he pulled it down and off of Melody.

With nervous, shaky hands Melody found herself reaching for Riker's swimwear. With some help, she got them off. With both free of clothing, Riker positioned himself between Melody's legs. She moaned loudly when he thrust into her.

Melody made a quick move having her on top. Taking advantage of his surprise she pinned his hand above his head. "Not used to not being in control?"

"No, intrigued."

Leaning down Melody kissed him as she began slowly riding Riker. When he tried to move to be on top she kept him from doing so. Melody was surprisingly stronger than she looked. Riker noticed her light giggle when she held him there. She got some pleasure from it.

When she sat up he sat up with him, not once breaking their kiss. Melody wrapped her arms around Riker's neck. While he wrapped an arm around her waist. As the other hand went through her blond hair. Riker took a hand full of Melody's hair giving it a light tug. Melody moaned against Riker's mouth feeling him pull her hair. When he pulled again Melody dropped her head back. He kissed along her jawline and down her neck. Then back up again heading for her ear where he nibbled on it. She let out another moan exciting him even more than he already was.

Riker took her moment of distraction to move pinning Melody under him, her legs moved to wrap around his waist. "Harder. I need you to go harder." Melody moaned thrusting up when she felt Riker thrusting towards her.

He was enjoying the noises from Melody, knowing he was the cause of them. Riker didn't want it to stop but he was getting close to finishing. Riker soon felt Melody's hands scrape down his back. As her body shuddered from waves of pleasure rippling through her body. That sent Riker over the edge himself, feeling the waves of pleasure surge through him.

Riker slumped next to Melody, both breathing heavily. "That was amazing." Riker rolled to his side brushing some hair from Melody's face.

"Well, it is exciting to have sex on the holodeck."

"I never thought to till now."

Rolling over to her stomach, Melody propped herself on her elbows. "I find that hard to believe."

"Considering how often I'm called to the deck or looked for. No, I haven't."

"It's part of the fun. The possibility of getting caught."

Trailing a finger up and down her arm. "So does this always happen when you are in here?"

"Never. We just enjoy each other's company. In this one, we cuddle as we watch the sunset that never sets. Having a light conversation as we do so." Melody rose.

Riker sat up. "Where are you going?"

"I need to get some sleep. I've got a mountain of work to do. And if I'm lucky, a certain Commander won't call me to fix his ripped pants. Again." Slipping her clothes on.

"How can I? A seamstress made sure I had all new clothes that fit." Locating his belongings.

"Guess you'll have to find other ways to talk to me. So you can shamelessly flirt with me." Melody winked at him. "Computer! Save and end simulation."

Seeing her head for the door. "Melody!" When she turned back to him he smiled, "I look forward to seeing the other simulations you have." She blushed leaving him on holodeck seven.
