A/N: I know, I may as well say it. I write this in scenes. I don't like to drone on with the minute in between details... Thanks for reading! I appreciate you all following this story, and I definitely appreciate the reviews to let me know where I can improve and where I can take this story. :)

Khan was painfully hard for Safiya. Kissing her soft shoulder blades drove him wild. She smelled sweet, and tasted just as delicious as she had from day one. She leaned her head to the side, pulling her hair over her shoulder. She bit her lip feeling the electricity shoot down her spine. His hand made its way under the fabric of her panties, his middle finger gently rubbing up and down her crevice, teasing and tantalizing.

"Oh, you, my love, are so wet for me, aren't you?" He moaned into her ear. She just nodded, moaning as his finger traced around her swollen bud. "Do you like when I play with your pussy, Safiya?" He smirked, enjoying watching her reactions. Her hips were beginning to rock, trying to make his finger rub her harder, deeper. He slipped his finger inside of her, hooking it slightly to rub her g-spot. Her sharp cry of pleasure made his cock twitch, as her hand flew to his wrist to brace her pleasure.

"Oh, Khan, please that feels so good." She moaned, leaning herself back into his chest, spreading her legs further. She brought her heels up onto the edge of the bed, letting her knees fall apart a bit. He just took her submission, fingering her, the heel of his palm attending to her clit. She moaned louder, as his other arm wrapped around her, holding her waist tightly.

"That's right Safiya, cum for me." He purred into her ear. "Let me know you missed my touch." He could feel her walls tightening around him, she was getting wetter, and her moans were getting louder. Her breathing became more erratic as she bucked her hips into his finger. Khans lips massaged her skin, lost in her essence. "That's it, finish my love." He nibbled her neck, sending her over the edge.

"Khan! please, yes! Oh my god, yes, please!" She cried, holding his strong wrist, unable to remove his fingers from her as he pumped her harder, though she didn't want them removed. Her hips bucked, and her head fell back into his shoulder. His free hand released her waist, grabbing her breast firmly. "Oh, Khan, that is so amazing..." She panted. Khan slowed his movements, giving her folds a few more strokes, before bringing his finger up and offering it to her. He shivered as she took his finger into her mouth, sucking her juices off of it.

"Do you taste good?" He asked, tempting her. She just moaned her positive response, licking his thumb.

"I taste delicious on you." She sighed. She stood up, removing her now wet panties, and pushed Khan back on the bed. His length stood erect, waiting for her affections. He stared into her eyes as he watched her lower herself onto his length. He watched as it disappeared into her temple. He groaned, arching his back, feeling how tight she was around him. It was a perfect fit, him inside of her. She slowly rocked her hips, as Khan freed her breasts, ripping the tank top off of her. Before he could get into her rhythm, she got off of him, moving down, and taking him between her lips. Her tongue flicked and massaged along the base, circling the tip. She moaned, the vibration sending a sensation through his body. She pulled away smiling seductively. "I told you I taste good on you." She continued her oral pleasure on him.

Khan just watched her, enjoying her touch. The way her hands massaged and roamed his body, how she would look into his eyes, making sure he still enjoyed her efforts. He felt the pressure building up in his abdomen and low back, his thighs tightened, as he was brought to the edge, but he couldn't give it to her this way. He pulled away, pulling her up. He lined himself up with her entrance, and pulled her down on him. He wanted to release inside of her apex, loving the way it felt as it lubricated her.

She worked her hips harshly, wanting to take him deeper, taking a dominant stance to make him finish for her. "Give it to me Khan, cum for me." She cried. "I will fuck you until you cum for me." She scratched his chest, as his features twisted in pleasure. His knees came up as he bucked his hips back up into hers as she came down, driving himself deep. She cried in pleasure, as he drove himself in her. His back arched as his release was upon him. He pulled her down into his hips, holding her tightly, she still rolled her hips, grinding him, his tip sensitive. She smiled, moving to get off.

"Oh now, don't worry, I'm not done yet." He snarled, flipping her over. He was hard all over, and began thrusting her again. Her breasts bounced as he held his chest over hers, his hands planted on either side of her shoulders. Her fingers clawed up and down his back moderately, urging him to drive her body into bliss. He slowed down, resting his chest on hers, running his fingers through her hair. "I have missed your body so badly." He groaned, slowly driving himself in. "To have your body here, under mine, god Safiya, I needed you." He held her gaze as he pumped her body.

"Khan, I am happy to feel you like this once more. I... I don't know what I would do if I lost you." She teared up, still emotional from his temporary death. "I can't imagine my life here without you, not now that you've gotten under my skin so far." She held his head gently, her fingers curled behind his ears. He picked up his pace, marking her body as his, his lips crashed down on hers, as he pulled almost all the way out, driving it deep within again. He did this repeatedly to bring her to her climax. Her increased and louder moans told him that this method was working, as she begin to shiver, her climax building to a powerful eruption. She tensed up, arching, a long moan escaping her lips.

When Khan was satisfied she was well pleasured, he get off of her, pulling her into him. "Safiya, please." He pushed her bangs away from her face. "Please accept my apology." He kissed her forehead.

She looked up to him, her hand on his chest. "What do you mean?" She laughed softly.

"It should never have taken me facing death to admit to myself my love for you, or to tell you." He looked up to the ceiling, still somewhat ashamed of his actions.

"But I did the same thing. And I should not have. I just, Khan, look at us. You are an Augment, and so unreadable to me. How was I to know whether I was just a passing phase, something to occupy your time, your body, or if you actually cared about me." She stroked his chest. "I mean, I'm a typical woman, who has her stupid emotions." She sighed with a smile.

"Do you love me?" He looked down at her. "Because that would not be stupid. Understand however, that Augments have deeper emotions, stronger emotions, and our love and hate are things to be feared. It was out of love that I did everything for you, but how do I tell you? Something so sweet, so kind, that something to terrible has fallen for her." He grabbed her hand, and looked down into her eyes. "Because I have fallen for you." His face showed little emotion, but his voice conveyed it all.

"Khan, would you... be interested in working with me?" She spoke. "It would be legitimate, no coercion. It would be under your own free will. Akkare was thinking, perhaps, that you and I could work together sometime... But, that is up to you. If you would think on it." She whispered. Khan didn't answer, but rather just kissed her, pulled the blankets over them, and positioned himself between her knees, enjoying her body again that night.

Khan and Safiya laid together when they awoke. Softly talking, having small conversations, as they used to in his flat in London. Their conversations were broken up by little kisses and snuggles. For the first time, Safiya felt whole again, there in Khans warm arms. The way he made her laugh in the morning, her worst time of day.

They finally managed to get out of bed and went to the bridge. They didn't bother to wear anything formal, as it was just the four on board for now.

"Essex, where are we?" Safiya looked out at the beautiful expanse.

"We are currently floating around in the Andromeda Galaxy. I took us here because I was unsure as to where you would like to go. I felt that in the grief we were all feeling at the loss of our prince, we were, or I was, liable to take drastic measures, such as firing upon Earth." He said too honestly. She liked his honestly actually. She probably would have done it too, to be true to herself.

"Strong work Essex, I greatly appreciate your confident choice." She nodded. "I think, however, we should return to Earth. There are things there I would like to take care of." She smiled. "Khan, I think you and Gavin should get started on recovering your crew. I believe he already began, but I think it would go even faster with the two of you. You are quicker with the sequence." She smiled at him. He gave her a deep kiss, pulling her in, before turning to leave to medbay. Her mind turned towards the next steps. What would she do next? She had a few months off, and she essentially had a crew. Well, she and Khan rather.

"I can go into orbit around the Earths moon for now, if you would like, and you can just transport back and forth as you need." He turned to her. Essex respected her, feeling ashamed that she had continued to try and save Khan, when he and Gavin had thrown in the towel. She was devoted, and loyal, and he would respect that until his dying breath.

"Take us in then, Essex. I will trust your skill. Tell me more though, about yourself." She leaned to one side of her chair.

"Well ma'am, I was a pilot on the SS Botany Bay, one of the youngest crew members. Flying is my passion. So is fighting, of course, but, what can I say? We all enjoy fighting. Its in our Augment blood." He turned to her, smiling. "You should know that, though." He said.

"Well, I have had a few spars with Khan in the ring, and he is definitely a good fighter. guess that would explain it." She chuckled.

They had a nice conversation as they continued towards the moon. She enjoyed talking to Essex, he reminded her of a brother she never had.

She had learned a lot about Essex when Khan stepped onto the bridge with an Augment she had not yet met. He was tan, with light blonde hair and the same light eyes that Khan had. "Safiya, meet Ren, one of my best, and most strategic fighters." Khan waved his arm towards the man. "Ren, meet Safiya. You will protect and respect her as you would me." Ren steppe towards Safiya, placing a fist on his chest, giving a small nod.

"It will be my pleasure, and honor." He spoke, his voice was only marginally higher than Khans. He was taller than Khan by a head, and was quite imposing, with his buffed arms pressing against the fabric of his shirt.

"Don't get any ideas." Khan whispered into her ear, noticing Safiya looking the man over. "You are mine, do not forget that." His voice was a growl, and it turned her on, his dominance.

"Don't worry Khan, I have eyes for no other." She whispered back with a moan in her voice. She fluttered her eyes at him, causing him to shudder.

"Well, Ren and I intend on going planet side. There are... things I must see to." He kissed her cheek.

"Khan, whatever you do, you can not get into trouble." She pressed. His expression lowered, and he took her hand, leading her to the turbolift. He kept her hand until he found an unused bedroom.

"Safiya, I am an adult, and a free man now. There is no reason to tell me what to do." He growled, irritated. He still had a hard time taking orders from others, as right now he was under her command.

She stepped back, shaking her head, giving him an incredulous look. "Are you serious, Khan?" She crossed her arms. I told you to not get into trouble. Its not like I asked you to massage my feet or kiss my ass in front of your crew." She hissed.

"I do not take kindly to being given orders in front of my crew." His voice grew louder. His pride was showing brightly now. Safiya had to step back, and remember who she was talking to.

"Khan." She hung her head. "I just want you to be careful. That's all I'm saying." She sniffed. She looked up into his eyes with tears. "If you get into trouble, they will try you, and they will sentence you to death again. This time, I'm pretty sure they will finish the job, and I can't..." She let the rest hang, just shaking her head.

"Safiya, I didn't mean-" He began to walk towards her, but she pulled away.

"You can go planet side, but just be careful, and take Ren with you." Was all she left him with, not wanting to continue that conversation. Khan just let out an angry sigh, and went to find Ren.

Khan had been off of the ship for hours, as Safiya walked through medbay, speaking with the newly awakened Augments. They varied in height, age, and specialties. They all however, were healthier than any person she had ever really seen. When they were all ready, she led each of them to their personal quarters, labeling each of their rooms. She left it to Gavin to bring them all to the dining hall, where she waited.

They fluttered in, all gathering food and drink, sitting down and falling into conversation with one another as though a day had never passed. It drew a smile onto Safiyas face, watching them interact with one another. They all seemed so gentle, it was like looking at the crew on the Enterprise, though her time there was short. They all seemed so close, like a family. But this was what it was. These Augments were all a family. Khans crew, his family.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Essex. "Have you met my sister, Erin?" He pulled a woman along. She had silver hair, and the same yellow eyes. "She is really good with navigation and charting. She also is pretty good with advanced physics." He smiled. Erin stuck her hand out to shake Safiyas, to which Safiya obliged.

"Well, I am sure that you would do well here." Safiya smiled.

"I hope to do so as well. It would be nice working with my family again. Thank you for bringing us back." Erin smiled, and turned back to her brother as they returned to their seats to eat.

Safiya went to bed that night, the bright glowing moon shimmering in her room. The extra blankets piled on her bed made up for the lack of Khans body against her. At this point, she almost considered having a pet, something that would be there every night for her. She used to pester Khan jokingly about getting a dog or a cat, but he would just threaten to give her a tribble. She couldn't read him at the time to determine whether he was being serious or not, and she certainly wasn't interested in testing his humor.

Even with the extra blankets, Safiya woke up cold the next morning. There was no evidence that Khan had even come back, and it bothered her. It made her uneasy to wonder if perhaps he had been caught, or if he had been assailed. She hated the thoughts that ran through her mind. "Ugh, dammit Khan." She growled before getting up, kicking the blankets back. She was just in panties as she walked to the bathroom briskly to relieve herself. Her nipples were on end in the cool room. She should have turned the heat up, and lord she was regretting not doing so as she shivered, goosebumps erupting over her skin.

The door slid open, and she peeked out. Khan was just walking in, slowly, clearly tired, with a long bag over his shoulder.

"Good morning." She crossed her arms over her breasts, covering them, as she walked towards the bed.

He dropped the bag on the back of a chair, and pulled her into a hug. "Morning." He mumbled. His hand ran down her spine, as he kissed her forehead.

"You worried me." She whispered, pressing herself into his jacket, warming up, he cringed, as she crawled her fingers up under his shirt, trying to move away. She held him tightly, grinning into his shirt. "Well, if you would have been here last night to keep me warm, I wouldn't be so cold." She pouted playfully.

"Perhaps, but of course, I wouldn't have gotten you something else either." He finally broke free from her, undressing himself, and taking her back to the bed with an envelope in his hand. He pulled the blankets up over them, cuddling into her tightly, kissing her neck. He gave her the envelope, and urged her to open it.

"What is it?" She smiled, holding the envelope, ready to slide her finger under the lip to open it. "Is it a card?" She asked.

"Open it and find out." He hugged her tighter.

"Is it... A loooove letter?" She drew out, playfully.

"Open it, Safiya." He spoke a little louder, irritation on his voice.

"Oh! I got it! Is it an invitation to some Diamond Jubilee?" She rolled over to face him with false excitement on her face.

"Safiya! Just open it dammit!" He finally snapped, not really mad, but definitely irritated.

"Alright, alright." She smiled, lowering her head, sliding open the lip of the envelope. Two tickets fell out into her hand.

In fine script, she read the lettering across the tickets

The London Symphony Orchestra

Proudly Presents

Beethovens Symphony

Conducted by:

Evenrude Tremaine

She smiled, reading over the golden lettering again and again. She had been wanting to go for so long. "Khan I-" She smiled.

"Said you wanted to go to the symphony, before the winter formal. You can imagine so much has happened, I didn't have time to find you tickets. But I had to, now. I want to take you." He smiled. She hugged him tightly, excited to finally go. "I hope you like the dress I picked out for you," he said nodding to the back over the chair, "but for now, I'm exhausted and just want to be next to you."

He snuggled into her deeper, and soon they both were sound asleep once more, in the perfect form of one another.
