As Data stepped into the bedroom, he saw Rina tangled in the bed sheets, her eyes moving rapidly underneath her closed eyelids.
He sat down on the bed next to her and put a hand on her cheek. He could feel that she was warmer than usual as he gently wiped some sweat away from her forehead.
Rina inhaled sharply and opened her eyes. She smiled weakly at him. "Hey," she said, her voice hoarse and barely audible.
"Hey," he mimicked her tone. "How do you feel?"
She hesitantly sat up. She was shivering and tried to breathe slowly and regularly. "Weak and wound up. But she'll live."
He stroked her soaked hair away from her face, causing her to flinch. "I have prepared the bathroom for the cleaning ritual. I will prepare everything in here."
She nodded and left to take a bath with special salts and oils he had found among her things, along with the thackar, a transparent white nightgown.
He changed the sheets, dimmed the lights and took out the 'items' he planned to use on her, including the band that should absorb her magical energy.
Rina entered the room, looking down at the floor in embarrassment. The gown showed off her physical attributes nicely. He pulled her closer to him and ordered the computer to lock the door.
Data put one hand below Rina's shoulder blades and the other on the back of her neck. "Cha ni tsi co, Cinjica? (Do you really wish this, Cinjica [Chinjika])?" He asked, calling her by her Puvlagonian name.
"Tarr (Yes)", she responded, undressed him (a sign of agreement) and leaned her right cheek against his, giving him easy access to her right ear and the right side of her neck (meaning: I trust you and will you 'marry' me?).
He gripped the collar of her gown, ripped it clean open and pushed it down and off her body, another prove that vampires were very passionate and emotional creatures.
"May I?" he asked, cupping her chin. She nodded her approval and they kissed. Now he could do everything he wanted. There were no exact guidelines for the act itself.
He picked her up and laid her carefully on the bed. He took the band and tied it around her wrist, bound it to the bed frame and then around the other wrist. He tenderly caressed her face. "Are you really ready for this?"
She nodded. "Yes, but what about you? Are you aware of the consequences? This bond is as good as unbreakable."
"I do not wish to break it. I would like to have you as my mate."
She took a deep breath. "Let's do this thing."
Data didn't reply. Instead he lightly trailed his hands over her body, followed by a quiet gasp.
He started arousing her by kissing his way up her jaw to her right ear. She shrieked as he licked along its rim down to her earlobe on which he nibbled briefly before sucking and gently biting her neck. His fingers moved from her elbows down her upper arms, making her shudder.
He looked at her face. Her eyes were shut tightly as were her lips. Her cheeks were colored a deep scarlet.
He slid down to her feet. He took a bottle of baby oil and began massaging it into her skin. Rina relaxed slightly, but only until he took her ankles under his arm and treated her soles with a brush. She cried out, kicking her legs, but then her throat started emitting something between a growl, a purr and a chuckle. He stopped after a while to let her catch her breath.
When she had calmed down a bit, he gave her ribcage a soft nip.
She let out a surprised yelp as he continued by nipping and gently biting her ribs, the bottoms of her breasts, her neck, her shoulders, her sides and her thighs. He had her whimpering at the time he stopped. "Please open your eyes," he whispered.
She looked at him. The white and black had disappeared, leaving her eyes entirely ice-blue.
"Are you alright?" She managed a small nod. He took a feather. "Turn your head to the left."
She swallowed, knowing fully well what he was planning to do, but did as she was told.
Data traced the contours of her ear, teasing its opening. Her breath hitched in her throat and she let out a high-pitched giggle. He moved it down her neck to her breasts. He stroked it over her nipples, getting no reaction from her.
Following an idea, he went lower to her navel and lower still. She whimpered and flinched as the tool touched her most sensitive parts.
He kissed her collar bone and followed the feather's path with his mouth.
He spread her legs and buried his head between them, paying most attention to her clitoris, followed by a loud wailing sound. She had held remarkably still during his earlier ministrations, but now she writhing underneath him. No real words came over her lips, only animal sounds.
Data stopped torturing his girlfriend. It was time to give her release.
He positioned himself and penetrated her. He rocked his hips against hers, teasing the nub of flesh again.
Her heart rate increased and her muscles clenched around him before relaxing as the waves of her climax passed. The band around her wrists sparked teal and then became dark again.
He listened to her breathing. As it was back to normal, he released her. Rina immediately turned and wrapped her arms tightly around him, putting her head on his chest.
She was shaking, so he pulled her closer and stroked her hair. As he felt hot tears on his skin, he pulled away to look at her face. Her eyes were back to normal now, but she was crying. "Is something wrong? Are you alright?"
She sniffed and swallowed. "Everything's fine. Don't worry."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Relieve. Incredible relieve. I can feel you now. More than ever."
He processed the events. He could make out something new within his neural net. Almost like a presence. Was it Rina?
He looked down at her with wonder. "Marvelous."
She smiled gently and kissed him. "Thank you so much for this."
He tucked a strand of hair behind her right ear, causing her to giggle in delight. He kissed the top of her head. "You are very welcome."
