IDIC- A New World Order

Part 13 (IS THIS LOVE?) NC-17

Heather rolled over and looked at the male lying next to her. He was a miracle to her. She had been suffering the burning for many months now. It would come and go with her cycle and nothing had helped. Not medication or meditation. She had afraid her life would end when one day she had connected to Martel. In her restless sleep her mind had screamed out for someone to come save her. Here he was, Her knight. He had slain the fires as if it was a dragon. His own passion consuming hers. She blushed at how quickly she had latched on to him.

He must think I am crazy.

Martel rolled to face her.

"I think you are a miracle to me. I never dreamed that I would feel such passion and peace. I do not understand why. It is not logical but it is so right. We are each part of the other now."

"Is this love Martel? Are we bonded forever and always?" There was a plaintive note in Heather's voice almost as if she feared he would now reject her.

Martel was uncertain. "It is what I would choose. This is peace for me."

Heather felt the fires rise again and she kissed his lips. "Then we will be together always. I want this. I was just afraid you only came to save my life that you did not want more."

Martel smiled and returned her kiss then breaking it off he said "I think …we both knew it was forever. Our minds found each other across space and we fit. I would think this means we are supposed to be one heart and soul."

"I did not think Vulcan's believed in fate." heather teased.

"I just calculated the odds and decided that it was illogical to argue with them."

Heather began to giggle even as she began to explore his body with her hands.

"Well then maybe I should explore this gift fate has given me. Is it ticklish?"

Martel eyes flashed passionately. "Perhaps not but I do love the feel of your hands. " He pulled her on top of him and kissed her hard. Heather shifted over him understanding he was giving her control. She smiled as she made them one and began a slow cadence that would drive them both the stars and back.

"If this is not love Martel it is ….at least forever."

"I do not understand human love Heather, but I will never let you leave me." His hands held her to him even as she rode him she learned he was holding her close and safe. She smiled down at her new lover and knew she was safe and loved. Maybe it was not want she dreamed of because even her dreams had not been so perfect.

"How could you not tell me?" Kelly asked Devin. She was now sitting across from him holding a cup of coffee. It warmed her chilled body. She was shaking with fear and concern for her little girl. Heather had always been different. An extremely intelligent child who matured late in life. She had only just begun her cycle less then a year ago. At one point the doctors had feared she lacked the proper hormones to ever mature properly. Even so she was tall and athletic. Her frame was like that of a distance runner tall and sleek. She lacked many of the curves of a woman until about six months ago when suddenly she had a growth sprit. Event he station doctor was perplexed.

"Sometime Mrs. Reed it just happens. A switch gets turned on."

To Kelly it seemed as if overnight her daughter had gone from child to womanhood.

"They do not even know each other. How can they be life partners now?"

Devin looked at his wife and knew that by now Heather and Martel were one being. How could he explain something he himself did not really understand? While he was bonded to Kelly it was not quite the same. He loved his wife with all his being and he could always sense her needs yet…he had never had a formal bond with her. Or at least he did not think he did.

"Honey Martel is telepathic as is Heather. Martel will know what she needs and do all he can to see she gets it. I wish ….I could explain it. He will be better for Heather then any other because of their bond. It is likely that even now they are one heart, soul and mind." He pulled his wife to him and refused to allow her to pull away. "I never wished to frighten you. I loved you so much and still do. But, I never thought it would matter the differences between us. I swear I never felt anything but human. Only once was there….The Fever."

T'Mir and Skon watched as Kelly Reed struggled to understand. While she clearly lacked the mental bond most Vulcan's had with their mates she clearly was attached to her husband.

T'Mir moved forward she knew that the best option now was to prove that the bond would be a benefit. That alone would help Kelly set aside a mother's fear for her daughter.

"Mrs. Reed, Perhaps if …"

Kelly looked up. "Yes, T' Mir."

"Perhaps if you experienced a bond you would fear it less for your daughter?"

"How? Devin clearly never wanted to be bonded to me." She tried to pull away hurt in her voice.

"No… No baby that is not true…I just never knew how. I was afraid….Afraid to ask for help from Vulcan and afraid you would say no." Devin said Shocked she was feeling hurt and rejected.

"Is this true Devin? Why not bond with me then? Was it because I was human and you are not? Was I ever really your wife?"

The look of shock on his face told Kelly he did not ever think it mattered. He stopped her from moving away. "Damn it you are my wife. My one and only wife. I, love you!!! I just ….I swear I love only you always. I just did not understand before. If you think otherwise then…" His voice broke clearly hurt she would think he did not love her more then life itself.

The break in Devin's voice convinced Kelly and she flew back to his arms. "Then Devin share this too. I don't want you to be afraid of being one with me. Show me about this bond thing."

Devin looked up and said softly. "I don't know how to share it. Honestly Kelly if I knew how to form a bond I would have long ago."

Kelly now understood it was not that Devin rejected the idea only he did not know how. She almost giggled at this. He was a grown man and they had been intimate in every way but one. Now she longed to share his mind and soul.

T'Mir moved to the couples side. "I can help you form a bond. However, once it is done it can not be undone. Be certain Mrs. Reed because it will be forever. Given your intimacy through the years it will likely form quickly and it will be….invasive but , It should help you understand better."

"Help us please T'Mir." Kelly said.

The healer nodded and brought the couple together. She began to show them how to meld and become one. She was not overly shocked to find a partial bond. It seemed that Devin had instinctively tried to create a bond but his lack of training made it less then whole. Now with her expert help Kelly gasp. It was… a shock and so wonderful as she suddenly felt her husbands overwhelming love. He pulled her close and she held him. It was shocking to feel his fear of her rejecting him and his need for her. She clung to him even as T'Mir pulled away. Neither noticed as Skon and T' Mir stepped out.

"They had a latent bond Ambassador. I merely opened it for then." T' Mir explained.

"Indeed, I sensed this. It will help them both now this formal bond. It seems we may have much teaching to do with our lost children."

"Yes, Sir. I must have assistance sir. If more of Amanda's family have formed these bonds then…. We will need healers to help repair and strengthen them."

" A wise plan. I fear many will have to adjust to our ways. I only hope all are as willing as this couple." Skon said

T'Mir nodded agreeing it would be an adjustment for many.
