Epilogue

A Week Later

Aurora

Exhausted, I slept for the next forty-eight hours due to my reaction to my first-time travel experience and the "beaming" process. I also felt vertigo and further difficulties with movement for the next five days. My protector, Tuvok, watched me like he was guarding the world's largest diamond in a secure location between his shifts. Even though all I could do was sleep, I wanted to discover information about my new home and spend tom with Tuvok.

Pulling information about my family, Tuvok told me about the Qhigroll and how two out of four of my unborn nephews would be one of the first astronauts into deep space on a rogue mission for a private company in 2071. My nephew's descents would be ones who ended up on Rumara before the Borg destroyed it.

Even though I knew I faced many challenges, I didn't feel daunted by them.

"What happened with Malakye?" I asked as I slowly sat up from a lying position.

"Using her strong persuasive skills, the Captain convinced the Kazon to cease their revenge on the Qhigroll. The doctor withdrew some of your DNA before we withdrew and sent it to Malakye. He told me that he would use your genetic material to insert into his daughter-in-law when she is pregnant so that he can repopulate the species," Tuvok commented, helping me up from bed.

"Oh," I responded, unsure of what to say.

"How do you feel, Aurora?"

"Much better. The medicine that the Doctor gave me is eliminated by vertigo, it seems," I stated, slowly rising from the bed and walking towards Tuvok. I employed my arms to give him a kiss that he returned with enthusiasm, and there was a mischievous smirk on his lips afterward.

"Mmmm," I blissfully exclaimed.

"Let's take a walk to the Cafeteria. Perhaps you would like some breakfast? I spoke to Mr. Neelix about your dietary requirements." He helpfully questioned.

On cue, my stomach growled a little because I hadn't eaten much since I arrived on Voyager.

We trekked to the cafeteria, and I met Mr. Neelix, an overly cheerful man who promised to make me something from home. He returned ten minutes later with a short stack of pancakes, dry toast, and scrambled eggs with a cup of Earl Gray tea. It smelled wonderful.

"Mr. Neelix, I believe that you made too much food for Ms. Simmons to eat," he concluded when he saw all the food.

"Well, then you have to help her, Mr. Vulcan," Neelix proposed with a giant grin.

"Thank you, Mr. Neelix," I gratefully said, taking a small bite of the pancakes as he watched me impatiently until I tried some.

"MMM, delicious," I exclaimed.

"You are welcome, Ms. Simmons," he warmly remarked, then turned to check on his other patrons. It did not take Tuvok long to assist me in eating breakfast.

"Now we must work off this meal," Tuvok insinuated with a sly gleam in his eye.

"Can we wait to go to the gym tomorrow," I pretended to whine," It's my first day feeling well on the ship, and I want to explore?"

"My ashaya, I will ensure you receive vigorous exercise today, but it will not be in the gym," Tuvok raucously murmured into my ear as I rose from my chair. His voice excited me as he blew lightly on the back of my neck. Instantaneously, I trembled with anticipation, and when I turned to scrutinize him, he had a significantly impish look on his handsome face.

"Shall we?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes."

On the turbo lift, he pressed the stop button at random. My Vulcan lover caressed a strand of my hair with his long fingers, halting at my chin. Next, he bent down to cover my mouth hungrily, and I pressed my body tightly against his own. Tuvok's tongue probed my own methodically as we deepened the kisses. Meanwhile, he slipped his hands underneath my shirt up to my breasts, where he began kneading them. The arousal in my body was evident as my nipples hardened, and I felt my lower area become wet.

I kept my hands busy by unbuttoning the top part of Tuvok's two-toned tunic, but his strong hands stopped me.

"I must not alter my appearance because I am an officer," he breathily corrected.

"Oh," I replied and leaned forward to kiss him. My lips ached to do so as he removed his hands from my own and gradually felt every curve on my body, from my shoulder down to my waist. There, Tuvok yanked my skirt and panties forcefully, and my breath caught in my throat.

With a devious look, he picked me up and put me on the railing in the lift before spreading my legs, moving in between them, and kissing me.

"You must be silent," Tuvok warned after indicating that he was going down on me. His hands caressed the sides of my thighs, and he kissed the inner part multiple times.

"Put your hand over my mouth," I suggested, feeling all sorts of tingles and thrilling sensations before he started. Tuvok nodded as he kissed me, letting his fingers do the work. Too quickly, he broke off the kiss, but he worked his way downwards as I writhed in pleasure.

"Oh," I moaned, and I felt his left hand cover my mouth to muffle the sound.

Tuvok began licking my clit slowly and then bit my mons playfully, causing other delightful sensations to cross my body. It felt heavenly as he inserted a couple of fingers and played with me while I was swiftly coming to an orgasm.

With a snicker, Tuvok halted, withdrew his fingers from my opening, and unzipped his pants, revealing his gorgeous hard cock.

"W-had-tt," I sputtered as he ceased giving me pleasure. Putting his index finger to his mouth, Tuvok motioned for me to wrap my legs around him.

Happily, I did so as we maintained eye contact, both knowing what was to come. Tuvok entered me; then, we leaned toward each other until our lips met in a passionate kiss. As he moved inside of me gradually, so we didn't come too rapidly, he stared at me with eyelids hooded with desire, and it was sexy as fuck.

"I couldn't wait until we arrived in my quarters, Aurora; it's not logical," he grunted after thrusting into me, and I felt a surge of ecstasy flow through me. Tuvok appeared conflicted

"Shh, baby, it's ok. I want it badly too," I admitted, then pressed my lips against him, trying to stifle a moan.

Nonetheless, it did not take long to climax, and we were temporarily sated. We assisted the other in straightening and buttoning our clothing between kisses afterward. Although we were reluctant to be torn apart from each other, we regained our breaths and composure. Tuvok started the turbo lift again, and we returned to his quarters.

Much later

"I finally finished a poem about you that I have been working on since I landed in your classroom. Would you like to hear it, Aurora?" Tuvok whispered into my ear as we lay in each other's arms after making love.

"Sure," I blithely commented, moving so I could see his chocolate-colored eyes.

"We are but two distinct pieces of the universe's puzzle fused by serendipity.

Your love envelopes me,

Shielding me from the unknown in a toasty cocoon,

Providing relief and reassurance.

I crave it night and day,

every minute in every hour.

You, my other half, make me whole.

Our future may be unknown, but we have each other."

"Oh, Tuvok, it's wonderful," I exclaimed, feeling tears form in my eyes and reaching down to kiss him.
