I never really had him

Pt3

With Her

A week had come and gone. Chakotay had spent most of his time working on his new house. He hadn't seen Seven in a week, and he still hadn't told her about the house. Considering that Chakotay had consumed his time focusing on making the house presentable for Seven, he was amazed at himself for not yet telling her. Something occurred to him at that point. He was completely in love with her. He could no longer deny it.

Chakotay was just tingling with anticipation to see Seven. Just as he was climbing the steps of Starfleet Academy, he saw her walking down to him. He opened his arms wide, waiting for him to come down to him. Seven saw him and opened her arms wide as she walked down the stairs.

When she was right in front of Chakotay, he grabbed her and kissed her deeply. Seven was completely taken off guard by his touch. She tried to remember the lessons she had taken about courting on Voyager, but when she tried to, she was quickly reminded of how much she cared for him.

The two of them just stood there on the promenade kissing. Several onlookers gave them looks, but neither of them seemed to notice or seemed to care. When Chakotay finally broke the kiss, he smiled.

"Wow Seven that was some kiss."

Seven smiled at him in her Borg way, and resumed kissing the man that she cared so deeply about.

This time it was Seven who broke the kiss. She smiled at him and took his hand. "I have good news commander."

"Seven we are no longer on Voyager, and I am no longer a commander, please just call me Chakotay."

Seven smiled. "Of course Chakotay, should I give you your pet name now as well?"

Chakotay turned and laughed. "Pet name, wherever did you hear that Seven, I haven't heard that in years!"

"I was listening to a conversation that involved two students at lunchtime, and they were picking out pet names for each other. That is where I got the idea from."

Chakotay laughed. "Seven usually people are more intimate with one another before they choose nicknames for one another."

Seven turned to him. "I am ready to comply."

"What?"

"I have heard that humans require a pretext for being intimate with one another. Did the kissing count or do we still require more?"

"Seven I," was all he said before her lips dove onto his. This time Chakotay responded with all of his power. She moaned as he caressed her back with his arms.

Somehow he transported them back to the house. He had planned on showing her the house, but not quite in the way that it happened. He basically said the word house, and then basically growled at her as they plunged through the front door. They landed on the couch entwined in one another.

The next morning Chakotay awoke to a sleeping Seven on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair, and thought about how deeply he loved this woman.

"I belong with this woman," he said aloud. Then leisurely he drifted back to sleep.
