Chapter 10 "Impatience"

Aurora

After the fiasco with Matthew, I had difficulty falling asleep. Under my rose-colored blankets, I curled up in my queen-size bed with Oreo happily snoring. Tuvok, my Vulcan defender, kept his promise and stayed with me until I entered dreamland. Seeing that I struggled with sleep, he requested that I allow him to massage my muscles. Tuvok lifted the blankets off my shoulders with my permission and pushed them on my back. Shivering, I awaited his nimble hands on my skin while he straddled my body so he could knead my shoulders.

"I am aware that you went through a traumatic experience tonight. However, you will not be able to rest well with this tightness," Tuvok lightly scolded as he rubbed them with his agile hands as I moved my right cheek on my pillow. His comment was similar to that of an attentive boyfriend, making me feel treasured. As a result, a grin materialized on my lips until a deep aching occurred.

"Ow! " I cried in pain.

"Tsk, tsk, Aurora, you have multiple knots," Tuvok admonished me. The sexiness in his deep voice gave me tingles.

" That was pretty close to a Vulcan flirting, I would guess," I contemplated inwardly.

"Are you aware that your voice sounds as smooth as silk," I inquired from my pillow?

"Smooth as silk?" Tuvok asked, confused as he massaged the muscles on my back.

"Yes," I shyly admitted with a half-smile, and Tuvok mumbled, " Most curious comparison."

Lingering over my back, he placed his nimble hands on my lower back and kneaded my constricted muscles. Solace came unhurriedly, and I noticed that Tuvok made sure he wasn't using too much force so he would not injure me. In the past, I have needed a little extra strength from my masseuses, so I requested that he squeeze my muscles forcefully.

Tentatively, Tuvok paused.

"It's ok, I promise," I encouraged my gorgeous roommate with a cunning smirk on my lips. Tuvok manipulated my muscles again with his hands, employing more exertion with that provocation.

"Ohhhhhh," I gasped as he continued.

It felt so magnificent that I found myself sighing because of the release of the pain. Likewise, my nipples had hardened because his touch aroused me, and the heat rose on my body.

"Mmmmm," I purred as Tuvok worked the stress out.

"Why must you tempt me," he saucily quipped in my ear as he lowered over me.

"Do I," I playfully replied, craning my neck to see him. Shocked, I blushed as Tuvok gazed up from my shoulders to stare at me.

"Maybe this dapper Vulcan was purposely rousing me now," I thought.

"Affirmative," Tuvok grunted hesitantly with a glint of desire in his brown eyes, not breaking eye contact with me. Under his scrutiny, my heartbeat raced in my chest, and I felt my palms sweat. Tuvok leaned over, then halted to where his lips were inches from mine. When I shut my eyes in anticipation of the kiss, the powers-that-be broke the spell promptly in which Tuvok cleared his throat. Next, he removed his hands from my shoulders. My heart sank in deep disappointment, and I clenched my hands into fists. Tuvok, however, was the master of ignoring distressing situations and distractedly announced, "That is a great improvement."

"Yes, thank you," I replied, placing my head on the pillow again.

I could tell that he was pretty troubled because our sexual tension was easily perceptible. Five seconds later, Tuvok's raspy voice expressed, "Now shut your eyes and sleep, Aurora."

Next, he began to hum and traced my back with his fingertips. Since I adored his voice, my eyelids closed, and I drifted off to sleep.

My thoughts turned to my previous lovers as I fell asleep. I thought I was in love with Johnny, an IT specialist with blonde hair and an adorable smile that made me see stars every time I looked at him. Stupidly, I gave up my life and hobbies to do what he ONLY wanted, and I also dyed my hair blonde to please him. Our chemistry was fabulous, but I should have seen it as a warning sign when he stopped wanting sex. Accordingly, Johnny cheated on me, and my heart broke into two pieces.

Matthew was a Hispanic man with a decent build, a carpenter that was a friend of a friend. Our main commonality was tennis, watching and even playing it. The chemistry wasn't the same as Johnny's, but it was normal. I couldn't know that Matthew would try to pin me down and take advantage of me tonight.

In his Marines uniform, a picture of my Dad emerged into my head when he was in his thirties. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer seven years ago, breaking my heart.

The first time I fell in love was with a redhead ROTC student at my college, Grant, but it was short-lived when he went to fight in Afghanistan.

"Wait, Aurora; someone will sweep you off your feet as soon as you meet them. Then you will understand," my Daddy promised after Grant left me.

I never believed in love at first sight until I met Tuvok, but I felt an instant link between us when our eyes met. He engrossed me from day one, and I often experienced tunnel vision with him.

Falling in love with Tuvok wasn't my intention. With his rapid appearance and bizarre personality, there were so many things I desired to know about him. There was a dynamic harmony between us, although we had never met.

I inquired about Tuvok's life between our physical relations on the first night. He most skillfully flipped the questions around and discovered information about me instead. My quest for knowledge about him didn't stop, however.

"I'm in love with an alien. How Sci-fi of me," I thought before finally surrendering to sleep.

Thump!

A mysterious sound came from the bathroom that caused me to investigate, so I ran into there, thinking that Tuvok had fallen. Instead, I came face to face with my guest dripping wet, exiting the shower holding a towel on his arm. The appalled expression on his face was priceless, but I'm sure it was nothing compared to the shock on my face as I scanned his extremely nude body. As he turned a shade of green, Tuvok's eyes bulged out of his sockets, and he covered the area between his legs with a towel. However, I had already spotted his lengthy dick hanging well past his balls. I could not look away from him in general as that image burned into my memory, and I felt myself involuntarily licking my lips. My body felt sizzling hot with temptation, and I had a strong urge to grind against him. Tuvok was a Vulcan Adonis, and I used every bit of restraint I had to stop from attacking him.

"Unless you take a shower too, I'll have to inquire why you are here," he sassily remarked, raising an eyebrow. Tuvok's face was still a little green from embarrassment.

Mesmerized by this hunk of a man, I didn't answer as I gaped at his muscular form. For his part, Tuvok cleared his throat, attempting to get my attention. Ten seconds later, I snapped back into reality when he shook my arm roughly to rouse me.

"Oh! I heard a turbulent sound, and I was afraid you fell accidentally," I stammered. My embarrassment caused my body temperature to rise exponentially, and I felt tingly everywhere.

"I assure you I am fine, Aurora," Tuvok replied, trying to regain composure. We awkwardly stood there, gaping at each other without moving.

Even though I knew it was inappropriate, I leisurely gazed at Tuvok's body. I discerned a massive swell in the towel, and my breath caught in my throat noisily.

As a result, Tuvok observed where I was looking and suggestively arched his left eyebrow.

Chagrinned, I apologized incoherently while moving back through the door I came in. Gulping for air, I shut the door and leaned up against it.

"He thought it was amusing," I realized after catching my breath. Tuvok's mocha-colored eyes were almost predatory, and there was a slight sneer on his lips when he saw me gaping at his manhood. Ashamed beyond belief, I locked the door and threw myself on my bed.

"Oh My GOD, do I want him to fuck me," I cried out, just as the other door from the bathroom creaked.

"Forgive me, please; I forgot my clothes," Tuvok nervously announced, hurrying to my closet, still wearing just a towel around his waist.

"Oh no, did you hear that?" I screamed, mortified. Regrettably, my guest didn't answer from the closet.

Tuvok asked if he could sit on the bed a few minutes later. I couldn't look at him and face rejection, so I put my head face down on my pillow to conceal myself.

"Aurora?" Tuvok's throaty voice questioned. Nodding my head, he lowered himself onto my bed, and the mattress sank a bit.

Anxiously, I wondered if Tuvok would make a move on me. He laid on his side while scooting closer to me, then employed those well-defined muscular arms to pull me against his hard body. Tuvok's hardened Vulcan manhood pressed against my backside, and I felt myself begin to sweat with desire.

Without pausing, he kissed my neck slowly and then nibbled it as I felt an aching between my legs. From behind, Tuvok's agile hands reached underneath my nightshirt to my breasts and began kneading them. A light moan left my mouth, and I desired to kiss him immensely. So I told him so after flipping over to face my sexy bedmate.

"Not yet, Aurora. I call the shots," Tuvok gruffly demanded and then skillfully removed my bedclothes from me.

"Hmmm, I don't know," I suggestively murmured and spread my hands all over his chest, going the opposite direction feeling giddy by the sensations. I snuggled my body closer to Tuvok and gazed into his root beer color eyes, demanding:

"Kiss me."

Our flesh pressed against each other had a euphoric effect on me, and I felt highly stimulated.

"Not yet. I have desired you since the first day. It has been a day-to-day challenge not to rip your clothes off your body and then make love to you," Tuvok confessed, rapaciously taking one of my breasts in his mouth and sucking it. Moaning loudly, I protested.

"Kiss me," I achingly pleaded, needing his lips against my own.

"Aurora," Tuvok whispered before leaning down to kiss me, but his lips didn't reach mine.

" Kiss me," I yelled amid my random dreams. Suddenly, a firm hand grasped my shoulders and moved them left to right, shaking them. I opened my eyes and saw Tuvok's perplexed mocha ones apprehensively peering into my own as he sat next to me on the edge of my bed.

"Aurora? Please wake up," he requested.

"What the..." I gasped, scrutinizing my surroundings to see if I was observing reality. My vision was still fuzzy as my eyes scanned the room. Also, my brain felt foggy, like I had forgotten to take my depression medicine, and I wasn't sure what was happening.

"You were screaming, and I came in here," Tuvok explained, raising an eyebrow in puzzlement.

"And why didn't you kiss me?" I exclaimed, still confused.

An extended awkward moment passed.

"I had a wet dream about Tuvok," I realized, lowering my face in embarrassment, and my face reddened with heat.

With his facial expression and an arched eyebrow, Tuvok didn't need to say anything to indicate that it did not occur.

"Oh, how embarrassing!. It was a dream," I shrieked, burying my head in my pillow.

"Aurora," Tuvok gently whispered.

"Are you reading my thoughts right now," I inquired, trying to become so small I would fit underneath my pillow.

"No, I don't read your surface thoughts unless you give me your permission. Besides, it is only if I am touching you," Tuvok reassuringly answered.

"Thank God," I replied, and I felt my roommate sit on the edge of the bed.

"Listen, I think... you had a series of unpleasant dreams, Aurora, possibly because of last night. When you fell asleep, I returned to the living room. You were in REM sleep for ten-point nine hours, which may cause your confusion," Tuvok elaborated, moving his thumb along my cheek to comfort me. I grinned as he affectionately did so.

"I feel so humiliated," I croaked from underneath my pillow, not ready to face him.

Even though I was in love with him, I didn't think Tuvok returned those feelings. In truth, from what he told me, it didn't seem likely that Vulcans fell in love. From what I understood, they mated mainly for the "biological" urge every seven years. Still, they could engage in sexual activities at any time.

"Sex only every seven years? That's crazy!" I thought incredulously.

"Aurora, I want to show you something," Tuvok urged, removing the pillow from my head and moving it aside. Concurring, I took two deep breaths, sat up at his request, and awaited his instructions.

Silently, Tuvok lifted his index and middle fingers on his right hand in the air and motioned for me to do the same. I automatically complied with his request. Without moving his gaze, Tuvok gently touched his fingertips over the top of my own. I felt my breath catch in my throat unanticipatedly, and I realized this was an intimate action between his people. The sensuality was intense.

"Do you feel that, Aurora," Tuvok murmured after I took my turn in feeling his fingers in that way? A small sigh escaped his sexy lips when I began doing so.

"Yes," I admitted, amazed.

"This is an affectionate display between a male and a female Vulcan," Tuvok instructed as he repeated the gesture.

"We share a connection for each other that I have never felt prior, Tuvok," I honestly revealed, understanding the intimacy in the display of affection finally.

"Yes, I know," he admitted.
