Mira smiled at George as she walked into the facility. "How was your weekend?" she asked him, finding out this morning that he had had the entire weekend off for some reason. George smiled down at Mira before he went into a full blown story of what had happened and how exciting it was. When he was done he looked down at Mira, ready to ask how her weekend had gone but instead he raised an eyebrow at her. "You seem different" he commented and Mira widened her eyes for a second before snorting. "No I don't." she said quickly but it only seemed to make George smile at her. George took a step closer to her and gave a dramatic sniffing sound before he pulled back and gasped. "You had sex". Instantly Mira smacked his arm and defended herself. "No I didn't, shut up" she spoke in a hushed voice.
When Mira had woken up that morning she had made up her mind that she would not talk about her time with Khan, or admit it even happened except to Khan himself who she would have to tell that she wasn't going to repeat their weekend events ever. When she had woken up Mira had found herself snuggled against Khan's chest, after a few minutes of just laying in his arms, content and happy something snapped in her and she knew that she had screwed up. Mira knew Khan wasn't the relationship type, that he wouldn't want to settle down and the only type of relationship he was interested in was the casual sex type and Mira knew she wasn't that type, she wanted, as naïve as she is, the romance and holding hands and stupid couple stuff. Upon those thoughts Mira made up her mind and pulled herself carefully from Khan's grip and bolted from his room.
"If you didn't have sex, what's with all those marks on your neck." George teased lightly and Mira's hand instantly went to her neck to try and hide whatever was there and this caused George to laugh and cause Mira to give his arm another wack. "So details." he asked and Mira had to sigh. "I'll tell you later. When we don't have a million and one cameras or Star Fleet personnel around us." Mira told him and George just nodded but then something seemed to pop up in his mind and he smirked down at her "Weren't you a virgin?" he teased and Mira clamped her hand over his mouth "Shut up." she said quickly, looking around and making sure no one had heard him. George had found out she was a virgin awhile ago, she wasn't entirely sure how he picked up on that but he seemed good at picking up on lots of little things, like how Khan didn't seem like the man who was in the file.
Sighing as Mira stopped and looked around "I'll tell you all the details later, right now I have to go say sorry to someone." she told him and with a quick hug goodbye she headed to engineering. The trip didn't take too long and, after a moment of standing in the threshold, she was approached by the Chief Engineer who seemed a little annoyed. "Look tell Harrison that it will be here later today, I can't control when things arrive okay." he sounded exasperated causing Mira to shake her head. "No no, I'm not here because of him. I was actually looking for Marla." Mira told him, the man raised a brow at her for a moment before he pointed to the red head working at one of the many stations.
Mira thanked him quickly before she walked over to the woman and placed the coffee on her desk. Marla pulled her eyes away from her screen and to the cup of coffee before she turned them to Mira "I just wanted to say I'm sorry about before. I don't expect friendship or anything like that but there is no reason we shouldn't be civil to one another." Mira smiled but it seemed Marla wasn't having it.
Marla turned, picked up the cup of coffee and placed it over the trash bin before dropping it in. "I don't want any half assed apology." she seethed out and Mira frowned slightly "It's not half assed, I do feel bad for how I treated you. It was uncalled for. I was exhausted and people were just annoying me and I had just had a very long day. I'm not making excuses for what I did but I am sorry." Mira went on to say but it seemed Marla could care less about it. "I don't like you, I will take everything from you because of what you did and John too." Marla spoke a smirking coming to play on her lips at the last bit and Mira could only stare at her. "I'm sorry, what?" Mira could not believe what she was hearing, well she could but she was kind of dumb stuck on what to do.
"You heard me, he's too good for you and I'm going to steal him because I seriously doubt someone like you could keep him happy for long." Marla said, sounding smug the entire time like she really thought she could take Khan from her. Mira let out a laugh at that, during the weekend Mira had asked him what he had thought about all the women in the facility wanting him and such and he had told her it was an annoyance, that they all were lesser then him and how he hated it when women would beg for his attention or think they could own him in some way. Those things annoyed him greatly and he would think even less of them, how the dirt he walked on was superior to them.
"At least I can say I tried to be nice and apologized but you are clearly crazy. Also you don't stand a chance in hell. He doesn't like fake red heads." Mira laughed out as she walked away. That last bit she had made up but she wanted to grind that woman's nerves, Mira had first thought it really had been her but apparently Marla was just one of those people who could enrage you by just entering a room. Mira sighed as she left the department and headed for her lab, wanting to get some work done before she wrote her report for Marcus.
Khan slowly opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings before he looked to the side, expecting to see a sleeping Miracle beside him but to his dismay the spot she occupied throughout the weekend was empty and cold. Khan shrugged lightly before he sat himself up, he figured she must of went out to get her usual morning coffee or had a COMM meeting with Marcus to attend to. Khan stretched as he stood up, gathering his shower kit and exiting his quarters. Stopping by Miracle's just to check if she was in there but no such luck, Khan frowned slightly hoping that they would have a few rounds before they had to work that morning. With an annoying sigh, Khan entered the bathroom and set to work on cleaning himself up.
Khan smiled when he saw Miracle in her lab, working on her white board. Her back was turned to him and she hadn't seemed to of noticed when the door hissed open and so Khan took this as a perfect opportunity to test her limits. He knew she was fresh out of her virtue, being the one who claimed it and all but she had been more open to experimentation then any other women he had bedded.
Quietly Khan walked over to Miracle and wrapped his arms around her waist, peppering her neck with open mouth kisses. What Khan had been expecting wasn't this, instantly Miracle jumped at the surprise and once she saw it was Khan pulled away, a frown marring her lips. At first Khan thought she must have had a meeting with Marcus and so he asked "Did the meeting with Marcus go that poorly?" and Miracle shook her head "I don't have a meeting with him until tomorrow." she told him quickly, going back to her board and Khan had to raise an eyebrow at her. "If that is not bothering you, why are you upset?" he inquired, genuinely curious and concerned, he knew what an upset Miracle meant and he couldn't have that.
"Nothing, I just don't like it when you invade my personal space." Miracle muttered out, her jaw tight as she spoke and Khan had to wonder what had happened to bring this one. In a way to test her Khan stepped forward again, placing his hands on her waist and pulling her flush against him leaning in and whispering in her ear. "You didn't mind it this weekend". Khan smiled when he felt the shiver run through her body but after a moment Miracle pulled away again. "Stop, okay." Miracle told him, taking a few steps back and was about to continue when her communicator went off, she quickly answered it and found it was the chief engineer wanting to speak to him. Khan let out a sigh as he looked at Miracle but decided he would continue this conversation after he was done dealing with his job.
At first Khan had gone down to the engineering department, planning to leave after a few minutes but ended up staying longer, nearly the entire work day when a prototype torpedo was brought before him and instantly Khan was to work, ignoring all others and just working. His plans for his family and his escape coming to the forefront of his mind.
It hadn't been until seven, nearly eight when Khan stepped away from the torpedo and was handing in the PADD that now contained the fixes and upgrades he wanted done next. Khan quickly left before anyone could question him or bug him about something he simply didn't care about, first Khan went to Miracle's lab, expecting her to be there but she wasn't and so he back tracked and went to his lab and there she was. Sitting on her stool and typing away at her PADD, no doubt a report for Marcus. Khan entered and again Miracle hadn't noticed him or the door hissing open and like this morning Khan quietly walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her but instantly Miracle pulled away and glared at him over her shoulder.
"I told you to stop" she said, sending the message off and shutting down her PADD before standing and glaring at Khan. "You did not say stop last time" He teased lightly, hoping it would ease Miracle out of whatever shell she hauled herself into. "Last time was the last time, it was a one-time thing Khan and it's not happening again." Khan had to stare for a moment and then a glare set upon his features. "It was a one-time thing, I was frustrated and sleep deprived and I used you. That's all it was." Miracle told him bluntly but he knew the truth, he could see it with every twitch she made and how she refused to look him in the eyes. Khan took a step forward then, planning on demonstrating that it wasn't a one-time thing but as soon as he took that step Miracle bolted from the room, Khan however was hot on her heels.
Mira let out a frustrated sigh when she entered their quarters, Khan not far behind. Mira didn't want to put up with him today, she had told him what she thought was right; Mira knew herself and knew that she would get attached and to her Khan didn't seem the type to do attachment and despite all the desire she felt Mira had pushed it down and told him a lie. Well part lie, part truth. It's true she had wanted to get him out of her system but she didn't really want it to be a one time/weekend thing, Mira had wanted more. Mira had wanted to have more sex but she also wanted to have more of Khan himself and that had scared her when she awoke that morning and so she had lied to him, hoping to spare herself the pain. Khan however wasn't having it, apparently not buying it at all and so when Mira had stormed out of his lab, Khan had followed right after her. Mira felt relieved when she reached her room and the door began to shut behind her, Mira already inputting the lock code but gaped when Khan grabbed the door before it closed and pushed it open again, the door giving a nasty creaking sound and Mira knew it was broken.
Taking a step back Mira looked up at Khan with a glare "Seriously?" she nearly yelled at him "Get out Khan." Mira said after calming herself some, knowing yelling at the man wasn't a smart idea but Khan it seemed was not interested in following demands today. "You will tell me the truth Miracle and you will do so now." Khan demanded of her and Mira couldn't help but shrink, she had seen this side of him before and had labeled it Emperor Khan. Mira let out another sigh as she ran her fingers through her hair. "That's the truth Khan, it was a one-time thing. It wont be repeated." Mira told him again, Khan took an intimidating step forward but Mira didn't budge as she glared up at him "A one-time thing that lasted an entire weekend." Khan commented and Mira had to roll her eyes.
"I told you, I wanted to get you out of my system and I did. I used you, just like you used me before. You just can't stand that I did that, that's all this is. Your ego." Mira told him firmly, having thought of that rebuttal long in advance. After Mira said those words she turned her back to Khan and began removing her boots, showing that she was done with this conversation but again Khan wasn't and just like the first time she had walked away from him, he snaked his arms around her shoulders and waist, drawing her to him. Mira struggled for a moment before giving up and glaring at him over her shoulder.
"Let go." Mira seethed out, she didn't want to be this close to him. Mira didn't know exactly when it happened or if it was just Khan or something but her body always reacted to his and Khan could read her like an open book when they were this close. "I believe your body is saying something quite different Miracle." Khan purred into her ear and Mira had to fight the shiver that cascaded over her skin, already feeling the wanton desire building in her lower stomach. "Khan please" Mira begged softly but it fell on deaf ears as she grabbed his forearm that was around her shoulders with both hands when she felt Khan move his arm from around her waist. His hand slowly moving down and under the hem of her skirt and then up, in a teasing motion Khan began to rub his index and middle finger against her lower lips, making sure to keep her panties in the way. "You're wet, Miracle." Khan cooed as he moved his head, starting to kiss her jaw line before moving down to her neck and Mira couldn't help but quiver at the delicious feeling of his working fingers. Carelessly Khan pulled her panties to the side and plunged his two fingers into her wet walls, letting out a sound of approval when he did. Khan worked his fingers slowly, pulling them out all of the way before he would thrust them back in.
"Still want it to be a one-time thing Miracle?" Khan whispered into her neck and Mira shook her head. "No" she breathed out, pressing her thighs together in hopes of increasing the pleasure but it was short lived. Khan pulled his fingers from inside of her, pulling down her panties before being turned and bent over her dresser top. Mira was about to push herself up when she heard the sound of Khan's buckle and zipper and not a moment later she felt his hand rest between her shoulder blades while the other wrapped around her waist firmly and then he entered her.
Mira moaned at the contact, loving the feeling of him inside of her but then he withdrew all the way before he thrust into her again, he started out slow but began to speed up. All that could be heard from the two were panting, moans and skin slapping against skin because of Khan's relentless pace. Mira hadn't notice Khan move the arm that was around her waist until she felt his fingers rub against her clit, sending another jolt of pleasure through her body "Oh God... Khan I'm clos- "Mira panted out but was cut off as another jolt of pleasure ran through her, sending her tumbling over and cuming all around Khan's slick cock. After two more thrusts Khan quickly followed after Mira, leaning over her and resting his head between her shoulder blades, arms wrapping around her waist and locking her in place.
After coming down from her high Mira let out a long breath, feeling relaxed for the first time that day. Khan pulled back after that, pulling Mira up and turning her around before he picked her up and sat her on top of her dresser. Khan bent slightly and pulled her panties from around her ankles and then pushed himself between her legs, his hands going to cup her face. "Just the one time?" He mocked and Mira had to roll her eyes at him. "What do you want Khan?" Mira asked seriously after a moment of thinking, looking him in the eyes and truly wondering what he could want from her.
"Nothing, it's just sex Miracle." Khan told her and Mira had to fight the feeling of sadness that welled up inside of her. "I think I can do that, no affection?" she asked while nodding her head at him, she was surprised Khan hadn't replied right away telling her no. "Affection from time to time wont kill me" he answered and Mira smiled before she leaned up, giving his lips a chaste kiss. "I liked that by the way" she informed Khan and he gave a short laugh and nodded "I didn't" he told her and Mira frowned at him "I prefer face to face, I can better gauge your reactions and it is a much bigger turn on." Khan informed her and Mira had to blush before she nodded her head, remembering watching the way he reacted and how much that affected her.
"Another round?" Khan asked and Mira smirked before she leaned in, giving him her answer.
Khan smiled at the sleeping Miracle resting in his arms, Khan had been surprised many times over this past weekend and one of those surprises was a realization of how much of a cuddling person he was. Any time he would awaken during the weekend he found himself wrapped around Miracle, Khan at first thought maybe it was her but found that she was a stationary sleeper and had to consent that it was him. Khan had only ever slept beside one person before and when he would wake up he was no where near them, Khan wondered if it was something that pulled him to Miracle but brushed it off before slowly and lightly pulling himself from Miracle and getting to his feet. Khan began to dress himself, pulling his trousers up and fastening them around his waist when he felt something in his pocket, Khan quickly fished out the trinket and shook his head, scolding himself for forgetting to give Miracle her gift.
Khan turned towards the bed, sitting on the edge as he gazed at the sleeping beauty before gently leaning over and placing the ring on her right thumb before giving her a chaste kiss to the temple, Khan stood then grabbing his shirt from the floor but stopped himself just before pulling it over his head. Instead Khan placed it on Miracle's dresser and left her room, needing to get some work done.
Khan wasn't entirely sure how long he had been working on his PADD before Miracle emerged from her room, looking at her broken door with displeasure before walking over to him and plopping down beside him, tucking her legs underneath her. "You know if it hadn't been for this weekend I would never have known you only need a max of four hours of sleep." Miracle commented lightly as she tried to look at what he was working on. Khan turned his head towards her and gave a hum of approval when he noticed she was wearing his shirt. "I am made to be su-" Khan was saying but Miracle cut him off "Superior and better and blah blah blah" Miracle continued on for him and Khan had to raise a brow "Cheeky" Khan commented with a small laugh, normally he would be enraged that he was not being shown the respect he so deserved but he knew Miracle was trying to rile him up and he would not take the bait this time.
"You learned, damn." Miracle let out a laugh before she looked at her room again and frowned "You are going to fix that right?" she asked and Khan simply shrugged, liking the idea of having full access to her whenever he wanted. "Khan" Miracle spoke sternly, about to lecture him but Khan laughed with a nod "Yes I will fix it but on one condition" he said thoughtfully and Miracle nodded, waiting for him to continue "Don't lock it".
Miracle rolled her eyes at him at his comment and failed in trying to hide her smile "You're insatiable" Miracle laughed out and Khan had to raise his brow at her a smirk coming to play on his lips "Me? I seem to recall thoroughly how you begged for more and more many times over this weekend and earlier this evening" Khan noted and Miracle blushed lightly before muttering "I didn't beg". Khan smiled at that "No you didn't." he conceded and then went back to looking at his PADD but Miracle apparently wasn't done with him yet. "So mind telling me why I woke up with extra jewelry?" she asked lightly but once Khan looked into her eyes he saw how she was genuinely curious.
"It's a gift, an apology for how I acted before." Khan said at first sounding unsure of himself but he rained himself in and proceeded to tell her exactly what it was "It functions the same as your bracelet, it hides the energy you output but unlike your bracelet I made it so you can use your abilities." Khan spoke clearly so Miracle could hear him correctly the first time, after Khan spoke he held up his hand and waited for her to put her hand in his. Once she did Khan went on to add how it worked exactly "At first I couldn't figure out how to regulate how much energy you pulled out but then I got an idea. These notches. You can rotate the middle band to be on whatever output you want; the starting point is this big swirl here. The big notch is zero percent output and then it goes up by ten, so ten, twenty and so on. It's safer then your bracelet and even when you use your energy it's still hiding you from scanners, with this you wont have to hide who you really are" Khan gave Miracle's hand a small squeeze before he placed it back in her lab and returned to his PADD.
"What do you mean by hiding myself?" Miracle questioned and Khan had to raise a brow at her "You act like you are a normal human being Miracle, you are superior and better then all of them. You should not hide it" Khan spoke his words sincerely, Miracle was superior and better then any human could be, he would even go as far as to say she was on par with him and the rest of his family, especially after she threw him against a wall that one night.
Miracle looked down to the ring that was around her finger and then back to Khan a smile gracing her lips but there was something sad about it "Thank you Khan but I don't agree with you. I'm not superior or even better than anyone, human or otherwise. I'm… just me. I think that… if you go around calling yourself superior and what have you, telling everyone else that they are lesser… I think it causes anger and hate, even violence. I don't want to add to that, there's enough in the universe already." Miracle spoke softly, her eyes down cast as she spoke.
Khan watched her closely, his mind racing and raging with words he wanted to yell at her with, to make her see sense but at the same time he understood some of what she had said and would bow his head to her for it. Miracle leaned up and placed a light kiss to his temple before getting up and going back to her room, a yawn escaping her as she went. "Such a strange woman" Khan commented to himself in a whisper, realizing this was truly the first time he ever met someone so unique, in more ways then one.
