"Mmmmm, that's it, right there Imzadi".
Joseph Troi-Edwards tired, middle aged body surrendered to the ministrations of his Vulcan wife T'Kela, as she massaged his body on their bed.
"You have not answered my question adun, have you contacted your Head of house about T'Ynise?"
Joe groaned as he turned over his naked body.
"Isn't your mother supposed to take care of all that stuff?" he queried.
T'Kela sat up from leaning over her husband. They were married 57 years and yet she still had to deal with his bursts of illogic. She accepted it would always be thus. Kaiidth.
"I believe your grandmother would be more open to the information coming from you than from T'Anna."
Joe's right fist knocked against his head. Clan and tribal politics was as annoying with Betazoids as it was with Vulcans. For cultures that put away ethnic and national disputes long before humans did they could still be pretty territorial.
"Can't we do it afterwards? I'm tired and I'm horny. Joe Junior could do with a little servicing honey." He pointed to the developing tent between his legs.
"I will deal with Joe Junior once Joe Senior has spoken to his grandmother." T'Kela replied, rising from the bed to reach for her dressing gown.
"Ok ok, and afterwards we'll do an experiment on how multi-orgasmic a Vulcanoid female can get from a Homo Beta male. Right?" Joe followed his wife and got dressed to make the call to Betazed.
"The sample size will be too small." T'Kela had used this reply when they first met 58 years ago.
Joe snuggled up to his wife and kissed her neck.
"There's nothing small about me baby, and remember size doesn't matter when you got telepathic skills."
Joe had no need to worry that T'Kela cast dispersions on the size of his male organ. He had kept her satisfied for 58 years and he intending on doing so for many more. For an 87 year old man he was in very good shape. He had to be to keep up with her. Who knew that having a spouse who was stronger than himself would be such a turn on?
Oh well, time to get his mind geared up to speak to the powers that be back home.

Sayanna Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, deputy holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and considered the third most powerful woman on the planet was being 'entertained'. She was a widow of seven years via a man she barely tolerated during her marriage. Theirs was an arrangement under the traditional system of child bondings.
One of the first things her oldest sister did on taking over as Head of House was to outlaw such practises and make them optional for all High Houses and not compulsory. It was the first law passed and one of the most popular.
Even though encouraged to marry again, she did not see the need. At 147 years old who wanted to be permanently lumbered with another husband?
*It was bad enough men had the vote and equal rights. In her opinion they were only useful for two things and one of them involved being naked and being underneath her. Like right now. Her latest paramour were young men of 100, one of those T'Okranite joined beings. Getting two men in one body..what a novelty!
"Call from Vulcan to Sayanna Troi." Her comm device disturbed their erotic love play.
Sayanna sat up and dismissed her lovers, making arrangements to see them on another occasion. Any calls from Vulcan meant either her beloved Vulcan great grand babies were calling her or her grandson Joseph was on the line. They came before any man, even if they had talented tongues and fingers.
She quickly dressed and prepared herself to take the call.
"Audio and visual please." she responded.
"Joseph!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands. "So good to see you. It has been too long. You are neglecting me grandson."
"Hello grandma," Jo replied. He extended the range of the monitor so she could see T'Kela sitting next to him.
"Ah, I see the Vulcan bride is still with you."
Sayanna had her doubts at the longevityof the union. Sure it had been 58 years and they had three children but the cold, logical woman might still leave young Joe and break his heart.
"Greetings Sayanna Troi of Betazed." T'Kela interrupted. Traditionally she should not speak to Sayanna until spoken to but they had been having this type of conversation for 58 years. She doubted her illogical behaviour would change now.
Sayanna nodded her head in acknowledgement but said nothing.
Joe sighed in exasperation, yes his grandmother at times scared the living daylights out of him but T'Kela his wife deserved her respect.
"Grandmother, T'Kela encouraged me to make this call, so if you wish to continue our conversation I suggest you leave nodding heads to the servants and Terran donkeys."
Joe knew he was crossing a line but he also knew when it came to her grandchildren and great grand children Sayanna was like putty in their hands. They were her weak spots.
Sayanna raised her right hand in the t'aal and mumbled quickly.
"Greetings T'Kela of the K'st Kau."
"Ok now that's out of the way, we have business to discuss." Joe started.
"Before we get down to business please let me know how my little Vulcan babies are doing. I have not spoken to them in three months. That is too long. You tell them not to forget their Betazoid family."
Sayanna resorted to her queen of all she surveyed persona.
"I am not with child or have any 'little Vulcan babies'," T'Kela answered.
Joe took over before things got tense again, "Everyone is fine grandma, just fine."
"That is good, I am not getting any younger. I am holding onto life to await the birth of my great great grandbabies. You tell those young men of yours to hurry up and get married and tell T'Ynise to find herself a husband. If not I will find one for her!"
Joe sighed, Sayanna had been 'holding onto life' ever since she turned 100, as a Betazoid her lifespan was long as any humans. Knowing her, if she could, she would probably find a way to outlive them all.
"Grandma you don't look a day over.."
Sayanna gave him a look as if to say 'you better choose the right number.'
"You don't look a day over 65."
Sayanna smiled. "I know, people tell me that all the time, especially my lovers."
That was one topic Joe had no desire to go into. Betazoids were too open and honest but it was just not natural to talk about your grandmother's sex life, he did not care what that side of the family believed.
"It is of T'Ynise of which we speak." T'Kela decided enough time had been wasted, this was not a social call after all.
"She is getting married? Oh wonderful, did you find some nice Human man to set her up with?" Sayanne queried all excited.
"He's not human, Grandma." Joe replied.
"A Betazoid? Who is he, what is his House, tell me, let me check his worthiness."
T'Kela knew her husband was reluctant to answer and could feel his sheepish prodding in the marital bond to help him out.
"Sarek of Vulcan will be engaging her socially for the forseeable future."
"Noooooo, Sarek of Vulcan! We have a Vulcan in the family already! I said I would only permit one. How did this happen? How could you let this happen Joseph Rymel Edwards of the House of Troi!
"Grandmother, calm down" Joe attempted to salvage the conversation.
"You see, this is why I did not want do this!" He responded to his wife.
Sayanna continued her rant, "He will not love her, he is full of logic, he will not taste her lips, **he will not feast between her thighs, he will not.."
"Sayanna, enough!" T'Kela's strong commanding voice silenced her grandmother in law.
"Is this your doing T'Kela of K'st Kau, Vulcan bride who bewitched my grandson." Sayanna's tearful sound came across the screen.
What the fuck…! Joe's head lifted, his face thunderous.
"Grandmother now you are way out of line. You have never given T'Kela a chance and I won't let you do that to T'Ynise. They chose each other ok. This is not a political arrangement. We are not asking your permission we are telling you out of courtesy. Sarek of the House of Surak is going to court your great grand daughter and they will be no diplomatic or political repercussions. Understood!"
Sayanna looked in shock at her grandson then she did something she should have done in the first place and read his aura. Her telepathic skills were pretty average compared to her siblings but she was excellent at reading auras. His was dark red with anger, T'Kela's was a very, very light green. She almost missed it but there was something else she spotted. A sweet yellow which symbolised love in her culture. A sweet yellow embraced them both. It could only mean one thing. Theirs was never a one sided match. She knew Joe loved the Vulcan but the Vulcan also loved him back. The colour intensified as they did that Vulcan touching with their fingers.
"I understand," she replied and somehow all three knew she meant more than the present topic.
"I will contact T'Anna and confer my acceptance of this union."
"Agreed," both Joe and his wife responded.
"Now that this is complete, I suggest you continue your sexual ministrations with your husband T'Kela. He will be in need of it. Goodbye my children." Sayanna signed off before either could reply.
Joe's right fist knocked against his head. "And she wonders why we don't call more often."
T'Kela took his hand and held it in hers. "I believe future calls will be less controversial k'diwa. She called us both 'my children'. I believe my title of 'Vulcan bride' has ceased. "
Joe took his beloved wife in his arms, "Grandma's right, you will always be my 'Vulcan bride' Imzadi. Now come here 'bride' and let's relive our honeymoon."
Author's Notes - *yes Sayanna Troi is the female version of a human male chauvinist. Betazed is a matriarchal society so such women would exist.
**Betazoids speak their mind and are very open including on sexual matters
Telepathic talk in bold
