She kissed him. It felt great, it felt all so familiar and for the moment she was completely ok with it. She might not feel ok in the morning but right now that held no precedence to the way she felt when he held her in his arms. His lips and tongue were so violent and demanding on hers. It was wrong, all wrong. But he felt so right and erotic.

His head was spinning from her kiss and the way her body moved under his touch. She was amazing. She always amazed him. She made him feel things he had never felt before from a woman's touch. His body shivered at her fingertips, her mouth, her tongue-caressing every inch of him. Leaving no part unexplored or wanting.

He made love to her with his mouth. Running hands and lips all over her. She was done before they had even begun. Clothes had become taboo long ago and now only their bodies covered each other. The played out every fantasy ever thought of. He hovered over her on the bed, brimming with power and desire. He kissed her deep and hard. Moving down to her neck she squirmed and whined under the ecstasy he caused her. Down her body, stopping briefly to appreciate her full breasts with his tongue and teeth. She whined more at the nips and licks he gave her. She put a hand on his neck to guide his speed and attacks on her body. He made his way down to his favorite spot and began to lick and suck without invitation or warning. She submissively spread her legs wide for him to fully get at her. She moaned loud now. Her body ached for him. He reached down and stroked himself unashamed. She saw him and begged for him. He came up and was immediately inside her moving and pumping hard. Noting sweet right now just pure lust and want between them.

Deanna woke up from her dream. Covered in sweat and very aroused. She had fallen asleep against the wall she had wilted against only 20 minutes earlier. She jumped up, took a quick shower to calm herself and changed into a dark purple night gown. She walked slowly back down to Sickbay thinking of her dream. She had it because of what Will had dreamt earlier. It wasn't her fault and she had done nothing wrong to Worf by dreaming. It was so real. It felt so good too. Snap out of Deanna. You are with Worf...Worf remember? Will is not in love with you. Stop what you are thinking right now. She entered Sickbay and took a seat beside Will.

"Jean-Luc I would love to tell you who Will is in love with, I really would. But it is not my place to say. I'm sure you wouldn't even need one guess to figure it out though." She smiled at the thought of those two being a couple again.

He paused for only a second, "It's Counselor Troi of course. The first day they met in the turbolift I knew there was a connection between them. They amaze me all the time with their relationship….or whatever you might call it Doctor. I just don't understand why it is affecting Number One so much. He usually has a steady head on him."

"I know Jean-Luc but maybe it's time that Will dealt with his feelings for Deanna."

"Yes, I guess it is about time, I need my crew on the bridge and ready if anything is to happen. So if confessing our feelings will get my ship back to normal then by all means I hope it happens soon." Captain Picard sat there wondering how he could give advice he himself would not follow. The Captain eagerly drank his tea and stood up to try and excuse himself for an early turn in. Dr. Crusher rose with him.

"Well I hope you have a good night Dr. and that our patient will soon return to duties as scheduled. Thank you for the tea."

"Thank you for taking time to talk with me Captain. I hope you have a good night as well." She moved toward him before he walked out to give him her usual casual pat on the arm. As she had done a small number of times before she gently kissed his cheek.

"Sweet dreams Beverly." Jean-Luc rarely let his guard down but her kindness was enough to remember she was one of his oldest and dearest friends. He squeezed her elbow and quickly left for his quarters. She smiled inwardly and left her office for the night.

Deanna woke curled up beside Will in sickbay, it was still night time. He stirred slightly, she wondered if the hypo drug was wearing off a little. It had been almost eight hours now but she had induced sleep earlier than usual last night. Deanna looked down at Will sleeping. She studied his dark features. In his sleep he could feel someone was watching him. Someone was softly probing his thoughts and dreams. Deanna brushed some hair from his forehead. And at the sudden touch Will's hand shot up and grabbed her wrist. He sat straight up in bed, looking the Counselor right in the face.

"Will…I'm sorry I scared you. I was just watching you sleep and trying to help." Deanna felt apprehensive and awkward from Will's sudden reaction. Instantly he let his guard down and softened his grip on her wrist but still held firm to her.

"Was I having a bad dream again?" He saw her in her night gown and felt his body tense. "Or am I still dreaming?" He smiled and gave her his famous wink and same song and dance laugh.

Deanna smiled back, gently got her wrist back and lightly placed both hands on his chest to lay him down again. He placed his hands on her wrists liking the closeness of her. He was still in a state of drowsiness so his actions were not his usual ones. She did not yet feel the need to pull away from him. He ran a hand through her hair. Sickbay was dark and the only light was those from the instrument panels and the stars outside the ship. She felt as if she was dreaming. She bashfully thought of Worf and the hurt she was already causing him. She also thought back to when she first met Will. Her newfound knowledge of Will's feelings tore at her. A battle raged inside her mind. Without thought or hesitation, Deanna leaned down and kissed Will on the lips. Instantly she felt home, she felt aroused, she felt wrong. She pulled away.

"I'm sorry Will…I didn't mean…I don't know what came….I'm just sorry." She turned away from his eyes. Stupid thing to do Dea. What were you thinking? Now you've gone and ruined everything.

"Deanna I don't know what to say. You caught me off base. I should explain my dreams I suppose." He knew, she knew.

"There does not need to be any explanation. I know how you feel, even if I deny that you feel that way, it won't go away. It scares me Will. I am very confused now that I know. I mean there will always be a place in my heart and mind for you and for how I feel about you….but…..there is Worf and…..what I want in life….and….." She tripped over every word. She didn't know what to say to him. He just sat there, looking at her knowing the only word he wanted to hear was the only word she'd never say.

"Dea. It is obvious I cannot help how I feel. I don't know how to deal with these dreams. I…respect…yours and Worf's decision to live together. He has given you a happiness I never could."

"Will he gave me a happiness you never would." She spoke with pure honesty. "I have lain awake at night wanting you so badly on this ship and knowing it could never happen," she was becoming upset, "all because of your damned career." She paced around Sickbay. No one worked her up like her Imazdi. Riker felt the tension rise and heard in his head when she thought 'Imzadi.' She was so great when she was mad. Full of fire. He felt drawn to her, her aura. He slowly got up and walked close to her. She stopped with her back to him, afraid to turn around. He slid his hands on her shoulders. She felt like everything around her stopped and she felt only his fingers on her bare skin. He had touched her in passing at work many times but this wasn't like that. Riker's eyes chased the curve of her bronze neck and brown curls. He wanted her so badly. Before he was visibly excited, Deanna could feel the Eros building inside him.

"Will please don't…." she didn't know what to say.

"Deanna I know I can't make up for the past but I do still love you and want you no matter if you believe me or want to hear it." Will moved his hands to hold her against him in an embrace. She didn't fight.

Deanna lowered her head. Tonight she had crossed the line. Her heart was turning inside out at the excitement Will caused her. Feelings she didn't share with Worf. Not that she did not desire him as well, with Will everything was different. A whole other level inside her. She turned around and did the unthinkable.

Will looked into her eyes unsure of her. She hesitated only a second, reaching up and kissing him eagerly. She pulled Will as close as she could, pressing their bodies against each other. Will moaned into her not caring if this was another dream. Their bodies danced their way back to one of the beds. Then Will did the unthinkable and stopped their kiss by pushing Deanna away. This is the worst mistake I'll ever make in my entire life.

"Deanna, we have to stop this. Worf is an honorable man and I could not do this to him as another Starfleet Officer." Will wondered if she believed him since he did not even believe himself. This crazy act of stopping the most gorgeous woman in the world from making his body feel the utmost desire would probably ruin his life. She was shocked and relieved, in a sad way. He was right and a bigger man for it, but Deanna longed for the kiss to keep going. Will began the process and turned her on, how could he let her wants go unattended. She didn't know how to make the feelings go away nor did she want to. Ironically the two had switched spots on the whole situation.
