Chapter 20

Data got to his feet with me still in his arms and carried me to the bedroom.

He lowered me carefully on the sheets and sat down, laying my feet on his lap. He removed my shoes and began to massage my feet.

"Please be careful, my feet are insanely iiiiiieeeeek!" my voice shrieked off when Data traced a finger down the center of my right foot.

"I know that," was his calm response. "What does it feel like?"

I got an idea. "Come up here."

He took off his shoes and socks and lay down face to face with me on his side. I opened his suit and pulled it down to his hips. My hand went under his shirt and I lightly stroked the small of his back. Data tensed but relaxed quickly.

"How does that feel?"

Data searched in his brain for the right words. "It is an odd sensation."

I smirked. "How so?"

"My sensors inform me about a possible danger but I also know that it is you and that you would not do this. My mind is surprised over the gentle touch. It is confusing."

My smirk grew wider. "That's in a sense what ticklishness feels like."

A half-smile crossed his features. "Hm."

I undressed down to my underwear and Data did the same. I lay in full contact with his torso, gently caressing his neck. He stroked my back, inching closer and closer to the closure of my bra. "Do you really want me to do this?"

I chose actions over words and kissed him. Data took the hint and unclasped my bra. He lightly caressed my back, his fingers barely touching my skin. The gentle touch was sending thrills down my spine. Data followed the long weal with his knuckles. I sighed with contentment. We rolled over until he looked down at me. He kissed me tenderly. His hand stroked my right cheek up to my ear. He affectionately rubbed it, not persuaded to stop by my giggles. They even increased when his hand moved to my neck and his lips started to kiss my ear. He nibbled and gently bit, driving me nuts. Data moved to kiss my neck. He put his hands everywhere on my bare skin. I gasped when I felt his finger circling my navel. He then hooked his fingers into my waistband but stopped. "Are you certain?"

I rolled my eyes. "Data, I appreciate your concern but do me a favor and shut up."

"Yes, Rina." He pulled my panties from my legs. He lay beside me and his gaze went from my head over my nude body to my toes. He traced a hand over my breasts, across my stomach to my hip. It wasn't long before I could feel his hands all over me in gentle caresses.

He started to cover every inch of my skin with light kisses. I gripped the sheets with both hands as Data kissed and licked the sensitive flesh between my thighs. I was panting.

Sensing the rate of my breathing and heartbeat, he came up and kissed my lips while rubbing my clit and the surrounding areas. My eyes rolled back into my head. He stopped before I hit the edge. My eyes were closed and I was feeling wonderful. Data took my thighs and sank into me. I hadn't noticed that he had removed his underwear. He rocked against me.

I cried out his name as I came.

After it was over, Data cradled me gently in his arms and kissed me.

I smiled, still in my dreamlike state. "That was wonderful."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, much better. Thank you."

"It was a pleasure."

I stroked his cheek. "You are amazing. You call yourself an emotionless machine but you are kinder, sweeter and gentler than every so-called human. You are humane which makes you more human than anyone else." I kissed him on the lips and lay nose to nose with him. "I love you."

Data smiled his adorable half-smile. "That means a lot to me. Thank you."

I put my arms around him. "It was a pleasure."

I yawned and snuggled closer.

The last thing I heard Data say was: "Goodnight and pleasant dreams, dearest."
