Chapter 15

He led me to his room.

The lights were dim and there were candles everywhere. I smelled cinnamon.

"Data, that's… amazing."

"Do you like it?"

"How did you know that I like candlelight?"

"During my studies I found out that most women like romantic elements. You might be not human but I have observed that your reactions to certain things are similar to a human's."

I had to suppress a grin. *My family would consider that an insult.*

"What do you mean with 'certain things'?"

For an answer Data reached around me and slowly traced his fingertips down my spine.

I jerked up with a strangled squeak.

"Caro told me that it is not usual for a vampire to be ticklish."

I got my breathing under control. "You haven't prepared this to tickle me, right?"

"Not entirely. But you yourself told me that it 'feels nice' and that it has an arousing effect on you. I find your reactions intriguing and as I said I am well inclined to touch you."

"Something we have in common. I too can't keep my hands by myself."

I slid one hand over his shoulder, up his neck, into his hair and gently scratched.

Data closed his eyes and even leaned into my hand. "You seem to enjoy that."

He opened his eyes and looked at me. "It is a new experience. Every other woman was reluctant to touch me more than necessary. I am curious about the sensations."

We went to his bedroom and laid down, his head resting on my chest and my fingers running through his hair. I gently pushed some strands of his now messy hair out of his face. My hand reached lower tracing the contours of his ear and jaw, tenderly stroking his cheek and lips.

I kissed him lightly and he responded with the same tenderness.

I moved from his lips to his cheek along his jawline to his ear.

Data's eyes were still shut and he wore an almost contented expression. My tongue caressed his ear and my hands started massaging his shoulders and chest. I slowly undid the zipper of his uniform and slid one hand inside and beneath the undershirt. "Your heart beats really fast."

He seemed confused and worried. "My systems must undergo a few changes. I can start the process consciously, however this time I did not. Perhaps it is a malfunction."

I smiled knowingly. "Or perhaps my efforts have an effect on you. Is it necessary for you to start the changes consciously or can you get 'aroused' by a woman's touch?"

"I do not know. This is the first time I did not activate the program. You are the first who wants to touch me like this."

"I can't see why. Your skin is soft and delightful to touch and kiss. Don't worry. A fast pulse is a typical human reaction."

I took his face in both hands and kissed him, tenderly at first and then more passionately, my tongue seeking his.

"Perhaps we should remove our clothing."

"Good idea." We stood up.

I watched Data getting out of his already open suit, socks and shoes. I removed my footwear and came closer to undress him fully. I let him open my uniform and pull the undershirt over my head. I pushed him back down on the bed and began to caress every inch of his body with my hands, lips and tongue.

Even Data had spots which were more sensitive than others. There were the typical ones for a man and the ones typical for an android. The skin around his panels and especially around his switch had more sensors underneath.

After a while Data took me by the wrists and pinned me down next to him.

I looked up at him wide-eyed. "W-what are you doing?"

He let go of my hands and looked down at me with concern. "Are you alright?"

"O-oui. I just didn't expect this. No man has done this since…" I broke off and lowered my lashes in slight embarrassment.

"I am sorry. I did not mean to frighten you."

I calmed down and sat up to look into his eyes. "It's ok. Really. I know you wouldn't do something like this." I smiled reassuringly. "I trust you and…" I blushed. "I liked that, somehow."

Data heaved a sigh of relieve. *How well he imitates human behavior.*

"I hoped you might. I want to try something with you."

I raised a brow and then noticed the wrist cuffs attached to each side of the bed. Data had a scarf in his hand. I smirked mischievously. "Tied up and blindfolded, huh? Sounds interesting." At his questioning and a bit hopeful look I nodded and took the scarf. "I'm in, but you have to help me with this."

"Certainly. Do not worry. I have no intention in harming you. I will stop immediately if you ask me to." He carefully placed the scarf over my eyes and tied the ends together at the back of my head. "I want you to keep your underwear on for the first part. It would be helpful if you could slide the straps of your bra from your shoulders."

"Won't be necessary. There are clasps in the middle of each one."

I felt Data's hand on my shoulder examining one strap. I could hear a small clicking noise.

"Intriguing."

I fumbled around 'till I felt Data's knee under my hand and patted it. "We will have a lot of time for you to figure out all kinds of 21st-century female underwear in the future."

"Yes, we will." He laid me down and took my hand. I felt an upholstered cuff being fastened around my right wrist. Data repeated this on my other hand. Now both arms were tied over my head. "Are you comfortable?"

"Yes, I'm fine. It's just all new to me. I'm a bit nervous and exited, that's all. Please be careful with me. I'm a dainty and fragile little thing."

"Of course. I do not wish to cause you any pain. Are you ready?"

I took a deep breath. "Yes."

Data began with gently rubbing my right ear and the left side of my neck while he kissed the right side of my neck. I broke into giggles. "That tickles!"

"That is the plan."

His hands moved down and he brushed his fingertips and nails against the skin under my arms. I tried to break free but to no avail. The giggles went into screech range. Data reached further down, his fingers poking into my ribs and he got a startled yelp and my giggles turned into childlike laughter. I squirmed violently. He continued on by squeezing my hips and sides with one hand, the fingers of the other one dancing across my stomach. My attempt to roll over was only greeted by his hand sliding up and down my spine.

Data trapped my knees with one hand and proceeded with his attack on my thighs and the hollows of my knees. He then gripped my ankles and traced his fingers down my very, very, very sensitive soles. He stopped. After a few seconds I felt something soft and fluffy, most likely a feather, on my feet. I desperately tried to get away but there's no way to get out of an android's grip.

Data traced the feather up my body, over all my ticklish body parts until he reached my neck.

He tickled me there for a while and then stopped completely. My laughter became giggles again and finally died down. He kissed me gently on the lips.

"Rina, are you alright?"

"Yes. I'm a little out of breath but I'm fine."

"May I continue?"

My throat was too dry to say anything further, so I just nodded.

He kissed me again but more deeply, his tongue brushing against mine. Data undid the clasps on my shoulders and then on my back. His hands gathered up my breasts and his thumbs were gently stroking my nipples. A soft moan escaped me. His lips traveled down my neck to my left breast. He kissed me there before taking the sensitive nub into his mouth, sucking and swirling his tongue around it. I sighed and a small smile of pleasure crept on my lips.

He kissed and licked his way to my right breast and repeated his caresses.

His hand was kneading my thigh moving closer and closer to my crotch. He tugged at my waistband before sliding his hands inside my pants. I raised my hips and he pulled the material off my legs. He began to run one finger over my clit, eliciting another moan from me. He used all of his hand to rub against my crotch and pushed one finger into my soaking wet entrance. I gasped sharply. He removed his hand and replaced it with his tongue. My breathing and speech were broken and unsteady.

"Please … take me. I can't… I don't know if I can… I can't take it anymore."

Data lay down on top of me, though not with his full weight, his erection nudging my clit.

He readjusted his position and entered me. Then he began to move. I let out moans, cries, yelps and gasps. I was on the edge. Data noticed it as well and kissed me again.

In this moment I felt the spasms ripping through my body. My breathing became calmer and steadier. I relaxed. Data went to release me. I took off the blindfold and realized that I was crying. He came over with a really worried look in his eyes.

Before he could say anything I hugged him tightly.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I never thought I could trust someone like this again.

Not after everything what happened to me. But you were so caring and gentle, you always are.

I love you so much, more than I have ever loved someone. Merci."

I wiped my eyes and looked down sheepishly. "Sorry. I shouldn't behave like this. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm such a mawkish thing sometimes."

"There is no need to apologize. You have a habit to hide your feelings. It is alright to let them out sometimes, no matter how old you are. I can handle it. And you should stop calling yourself a thing."

I smiled and hugged him again. "Thank you for everything. That was incredible and awesome. You are awesome."

"Thank you. I am just trying to give you the treatment that you deserve. And you deserve to be treated well."

"Do you really think so?"

"I am certain of it."

I snuggled closer. I knew that he was the right man for me. He was trustworthy and sweet.

Maybe I would marry him, when we were both emotionally ready.
