"So, my quarters tonight...or yours?" Nyota jumped at the warm whisper in her ear.

"I'm sorry?" Kirk rolled his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Do you want to meet in my quarters or yours tonight?" She resumed studying the dinner options.

"Who says we're even meeting tonight?" Kirk cut the line to fall in behind her, but no one complained. He was, after all, the captain.

"Uh, me? I do. I'm the captain and you're the captain's woman. Ergo, come the end of shift you get naked and we get busy." Slamming the tongs back into the salad she turned on him.

"Do you even hear yourself? You refuse to commit, but you expect me to drop my life for you? You chauvinistic..."

"Whoa. I am committed. It's me and you. For life. You know that. I know that. The whole crew knows that and if you want a ring, then fine. I'll get you a ring, but I just don't need a certificate, or license, or whatever, on Starfleet letterhead to validate my feelings for you." She sighed.

"Fine." He studied her for a moment as he grabbed a drink.

"Seriously? That easy? Damn Babe. I love you more everyday. I swear." He kissed the top of her head and moved to exit the line.

"Oh, I almost forgot." She turned to face him and was surprised that he was even more handsome than the last time she saw him.

He smirked. "Hope you've got that name all picked out because I've got some swimmers with your egg's name on them." He ducked the roll she lobbed at his head as he strolled out of the mess and down the hall.
