"Let He Who is Without Sin" is one of my favorite episodes, even though it wasn't well-received and the cast and crew themselves had struggles with it, namely in the sexuality exploration of Risa - and we never see Julian and Leeta have their last moments together before they break up. As we all know, Star Trek was never allowed to show nudity and sex, but that's why we are here. ;D So, here I bring you the breaking couple - as well as a certain fantasy of Leeta's.

Chapter Five

Julian Bashir and Leeta: Clip

Coming to Risa was a dream come true. For her first time being here in paradise quite different from Bajor, Leeta enjoyed every minute of it.

She and Julian had great times together, but somehow, it didn't seem to quite work out for them. It wasn't that Dr. Bashir was a bad man or that he did anything wrong during their relationship; they just seemed to drift apart, but in Leeta's case, her attention was elsewhere.

Back home on Bajor, there was the tradition of the Rite of Separation, in which you spent the last several days celebrating whilst giving each other the chance to remember the happy times as well as seek new opportunities. What better way to end than the harsh screaming form and physical attacking that other species were known to do? If you asked Leeta, she could never imagine ending a love affair that seemed so perfect to the rest of the world - but behind closed doors and curtains was another story - other than spending a week on a pleasure planet, going separate ways to seek new partners without fear of the consequences.

At the end, they would present to each other their words of parting before breaking a bowl in front of a witness - and who could ask for anyone better than Quark?

Leeta had been through the masseuse during miraculous massaging sessions, and later on in the milk bath - which was sensational and unlike anything else she had been through. Her mother was more spiritual as per Bajoran custom if she knew her daughter was with numerous men on a paradise world. Julian must be having a great time himself. And speaking of which -

She found him with Worf and Dax, unable to get his strong body out of her own system as it was normal to still be sexually attracted to the partner you were about to let go for good. Julian didn't seem to get enough of it, either.

"I know exactly what you mean," he said with that glint in his eyes, then turned to the other couple. "Would you two excuse us? We have a few...details to work out."

Leeta knew nothing much about Klingons other than the fact they adored combat and bloodshed, honor and glory, and the way Worf called them out on this form of separation - she might never understand them other than how they enjoyed picking fights.

"How do we start this one now?" Julian purred as soon as they were alone in his room. "Should we do something wilder...?"

She whirled around and winked when she saw him drop his pants as well as tug his fitting tank top from his head. He was so strong and golden-skinned, what any girl would dream of - but looks weren't everything. She pulled her bathing suit down from the shoulders and left herself exposed to his eyes. The gleam remained in those rich dark orbs which made her feel moist between her thighs. Their sex life was wonderful, less as it often was also for unknown reasons.

She could not yet tell him that the reason she was no longer interested in him was because another man was on her mind. Maybe on the day of the finale of the ritual with Quark present. But even Quark might not like what he heard, but why should she care?

"I got the perfect idea in mind," Leeta said, going up and kissing him before pushing him towards the bed. "Lay down and be a good boy."

Julian got the idea and grinned to show each row of his brilliant teeth. His beautiful body glowed like the sun before her eyes. Leeta crawled on top of him, her thighs straddling him nicely, but she wiggled herself carefully so he was safely inside her wet core, clenching gently to make sure they were both adjusted, and she relaxed around him, exhaling audibly as he did. He made her laugh by jerking his hips gently upwards and eliciting little jolts of pleasure; that laugh turned into a squeal when she rubbed herself on him, leaning back and almost falling off of him but managed to put her hands on either side for leverage so she could continue her movements.

Julian rumbled like a beast beneath her. "Mmm, Leeta." His hands moved over her stomach and managed to catch both of her breasts briefly before letting them go, gliding over her sides until her hips had their turn. Leeta had her head back and looking up at the ceiling, alternating between opening and closing her eyelids while her mind happened to wander, and her body was overcome with heaven's bliss...

The face of Rom happened to dominate Julian's in this position, maybe the entire body. Ferengi anatomy consisted of oo-mox to the ear, but what about below the waist? She would love to find that out if it could even be possible. What was it about Rom that drew her to him? Cute, yes, because he had such a sweet personality and a good heart unlike his older brother - and sexy? She supposed he was, in his own way.

Leeta began to moan and whimper when she felt Julian's fingers reach her womanly spot, teasing the folds and then the sensitive nub in the center; she tried to think about Rom touching her there...

The climax had been extra sweet - and now that the day was here, it was just as sweet as the water in the golden bowl she held in her hands, first out to him and then brought to her lips as she recited, "Our paths have grown apart."

"What was one is now two," he responded, taking his turn.

"The time for sharing is over."

The sound of the cracking dish was startling and shattering, symbolic, but it did not damper her prayer. "May the Prophets guide you toward the path of happiness."

He was squinting because of the sun - or was it because he was now having second thoughts? Because of Worf? "And may they walk with you always," he said instead. They took each other's hands and leaned forward; it looked like it would be one last kiss, but it was only a turning of the faces towards the lone witness before they stood and walked separate ways.

Quark looked disdained as he joined them. "That's it?"

"That's it," Julian intoned proudly.

"Well, I was expecting fireworks! Where's the anger? The vicious name-calling - the irrational accusations?" He shook his head as he held his horgh'an in one arm. "I never should have agreed to be a witness if I'd known you were going to be so...civil."

Well, that was the point. "Well, personally, it was admirable," Julian stated happily. "No recriminations, no hurt feelings. I don't think I've ever felt...this good about the end of a relationship." And that counted a night of an endless round of sex like voles. Leeta didn't think she'd ever feel so good, either.

"Now I can be honest about my feelings."

Both men stopped. Too late to call it back now, because Julian wanted to know what she meant. "In the past...few months," Leeta confessed, swinging her arms around as a habit and as a way to calm her nerves, "I've been thinking a lot...about another man."

Julian's jaw dropped right then and there, but Quark had the sudden delight to know. "Let me get this straight: while you were still dating Julian here, you were having fantasies about someone else?"

Leeta stuttered, now feeling abashed. "I'd rather not...discuss it now," she said meekly, now wanting to get away, but she started it, so might as well finish it. She inhaled sharply before releasing the air. "It's..."

Damn it, now she couldn't speak it, but might as well lay her eyes on Quark, except he mistook it to mean - "ME?" He thought he could get so lucky with her just because she was one of his dabo girls to own?! Leeta sneered to herself; in his dreams!

"No. Your brother...Rom."

"My brother, Rom?" Quark repeated, aghast, Julian echoing him. Disbelief was etched over both of their faces. Leeta grinned at them both, confident and enjoying the fact the truth was out.

"He's very cute...and very sexy."

She walked away from them to enjoy the rest of her vacation. Behind her, both her ex and boss repeated the words in shock to each other: "Cute...sexy...Rom?"
