Masquerade (Part 3)
Nyota thought about Leonard McCoy every single day.
She didn't mean to hurt him. She just wanted to heal. She didn't need him feeling sorry for her. Maybe she just needed time, but it had been three months now since their face to face confrontation. God, she missed him. She thought about him several times a day.
He had not sought her out after he had given her the medical release she requested and a part of her was disappointed. She was a bundle of contradictions. She missed him, really missed him, but what would she say to him if he did come to her? The talks with Dr. Reid weren't helping that much. She did not want to have to admit that she wanted him back.
On the outside she looked normal, but on the inside she felt lost and alone. Leonard was right. She was putting up a front. It was all a masquerade.
She sighed and went through the motions of completing her daily duties and tried not to think about Leonard McCoy.
He came to the bridge on and off several days out of a week and conversed with the Captain. She would steal glances at him from time to time when he was there. She would walk around the bridge making notes on her PADD pretending to be engrossed in her duties.
She felt like a teenager with a crush! What was wrong with her? He was there for the taking and she knew that she was holding back. Their eyes met a couple of times as she was wandering around the bridge. She looked away, unable to stand the hunger and sadness in his deep blue eyes.
She needed a break! Maybe the upcoming shore leave would be a welcome change.
They were scheduled to stop at Darius III for maintenance. It would be a welcomed break. The planet was big enough for her to stay out of McCoy's way and maybe a change of scenery would give her a different perspective.
********************************************
Leonard McCoy knew that he could never pull one over on James T. Kirk, that was for sure. The captain knew him too well.
Kirk casually talked to McCoy when he was on the bridge. This day things were quiet and uneventful. Bones made small talk while he stole a glance over at Uhura. Kirk knew the real reason he was on the bridge.
"Bones, shore leave is coming up. We'll be on Darius for ten days. Got any plans?" He gave his friend a sly grin.
Bones rolled his eyes. "I don't, Jim but I'm sure you do."
"Gonna lay some pipe, perhaps?" Jim snickered. "You could use some sweet kitty cat. You're much too grouchy."
Bones rolled his eyes again. "Sex doesn't solve everything, Jim."
"Ah, Bones, maybe not but it couldn't hurt. When was the last time you got laid?" He swung around in the captain's chair and faced him.
Bones crossed his arms across his chest. "That's none of your business!"
Kirk chuckled. "That long, huh? Take my advice. Get some. It'll help your disposition."
Bones didn't reply and Kirk pressed his point, lowering his voice.
"Talked to her lately?" He nodded towards Uhura whose back was to them as she worked.
Bones cleared his throat. "Drop it Jim, alright?"
Kirk swung back around in the chair and Bones stepped down and stood beside him.
"You miss her, don't you?" Kirk asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do you think she'll ever want to be with a man again?"
"I don't know." Bones mumbled. "I'm trying to give her time. She's still going to see Dr. Reid. I just have to be patient, I guess."
Kirk didn't reply and instead looked at his PADD.
"Mr. Chekov, ETA for Darius III"
Chekov looked up. "Thirty six hours at this speed, captain."
Kirk nodded. "Steady as she goes, Mr. Chekov"
He stood up. "Come on Bones. Let's get a bite to eat." He looked over at Spock. "Mr. Spock you have the con."
"Very well, captain." Spock replied and walked over as Kirk and Bones headed to the turbo lift.
*************************************************
Darius III was a beautiful planet. It was hot but with low humidity, and the city of Jtai where they were docked was jumping. It was festival time and they couldn't have come at a better time. Parties were everywhere. People were dancing in the streets. It reminded Nyota of Madi Gras back on earth.
During the day, all was fairly normal, but as soon as the sun went down the party would begin. People would pour into the streets and into the various clubs and dance. It was a great way to meet new people.
Nyota beamed down with her friends Janice and Charlene. Maybe they could have some fun. Nyota didn't plan on hooking up with anyone. That was the last thing she wanted. She would encourage Janice and Charlene though.
"Come on, Ny" Charlene said pulling her by the arm. "We have four days before we have to report back to the ship. Let's take advantage of it!"
Nyota giggled. "You just want to get laid, Charlene. Admit it! Who do you have the hots for now?"
Charlene gave her an evil look. "What? I'll have you to know I'm not looking to just get laid! I'm particular"
"Uh, huh." Nyota replied unconvinced.
"What about you, Ms. Uhura?" Janice asked "Are you going to take the padlock off of your stuff or not?"
"Puh-leese!" Charlene said before Nyota could answer. "Hell has a better chance of freezing over!"
Nyota didn't say anything. Neither Charlene nor Janice knew about her ordeal. She hadn't shared that with anybody. It was too painful. She didn't want their pity. A couple of times she wanted to talk to them, however now that she was here, she was glad that she hadn't. She liked the fact that they were away from the Enterprise for a while.
"We'll see how things go." she responded.
************************************
The girls checked into their rooms and decided to go to the club. The sun had set and the night was just beginning.
Nyota decided to go conservative. Well, at least conservative by Janice and Charlene's standards. She could just imagine what they were going to wear. After all, she wasn't looking for any action. She had a plan. She'd return to her room as soon as Charlene and Janice hooked up with someone. The dress was somewhat conservative but risqué enough to satisfy Charlene and Janice. She didn't want them arguing about what she had on. It was a simple A line dress, but the middle portion was cut out and the top and bottom portion was held together with six vertical gold chains. The dress was cut out just below her breasts and the bottom portion began just above her navel. The gold chains that held the two portions together sparkled in the artificial light. A pair of white pumps and large white earrings completed her outfit.
She heard her door chime and opened it to see Charlene and Janice. Janice had on an extremely tight and short royal blue skirt with white top. If you could call it a top. It looked like a piece of a sheet tied around her breasts and knotted in the front. Her shoulders and a good amount of cleavage were exposed. The skirt hung low revealing her well developed abs and she was wearing a navel ring. Hot! The white high heeled sandals tied around her ankles completed her outfit.
Charlene was no better. She had on a tight red dress that fastened around her neck like a choke collar and dipped down almost to her crack of her butt. The front of it had a diamond shaped opening beginning under her breasts and extended to her navel. Nyota wondered if she had on any underwear. The matching red sandals with three inch heels that strapped around her ankles completed her look.
"I can see you two hookers are up to no good." Nyota said closing the door. "God, Charlene! Do you even have on any drawers?"
"I have on a matching red thong! It takes a ho to know a ho." She snickered as they walked into the lounge. A group of men watched them as they walked to an empty table. Nyota smiled. She gathered that she would be back in her room in about an hour if the interest they generated when they walked in was any indication.
*****************************************
Bones was not in a good mood. Jim had insisted that the two of them would hang out on Darius. The truth was that he knew Jim was looking for some action and he didn't want any part of it!
They walked in the hotel lounge and Bones sat a table in the far corner.
"Bones, Bones, Bones." Jim said shaking his head. "Don't be such a smuck! Kitty cat galore is going to be here. Open your mind, man."
"Oh, I thought you wanted me to open my zipper." Bones replied ordering a drink.
"That too." Jim replied sitting down. "Tonight's your night. I feel it in my gut."
He looked at Bones and patted him on the arm. "I am willing to put my own horniness aside to help you out here. You're going to get some sweet kitty. I can feel it."
Bones quickly downed his drink. "I wish you'd stop saying that! Believe me, there are other parts to a woman other than her vagina."
"I know that!" Jim replied clearing his throat. "I was just giving the highlights!"
Bones rolled his eyes again.
He looked across the room and was surprised to see Nyota walk in with Charlene Masters and Janice Rand.
"What the hell?" he blurted out before he could catch himself.
"I see, Bones. I see." Jim replied. "Looks like it's girls night out."
They watched as Nyota and her crew went to a table on the other side of the room.
"Shall we go and pay our respects?" Kirk asked grinning.
Bones did not reply and Kirk downed his drink and stood up.
"C'mon, Bones."
Bones let out a sigh and followed the captain. At least he knew for sure that he wasn't going to try to seduce these women!
Nyota looked up surprised as the captain and Dr. McCoy walked over to their table. They were a handsome pair for sure! The Captain had on a pale green shirt with black pants and McCoy had on a blue shirt with black slacks.
"Ladies" the Captain said grinning. "I see you are enjoying your leave."
"Yes sir." Janice replied grinning. "Is it proper to ask you for a dance, sir?"
Kirk gave his trademark grin. "Of course it's proper." He replied. "Since this number is a fast one, why don't you come too Masters. I'd love to dance sandwiched between two beautiful women"
Nyota glanced at Charlene. She knew what Kirk was up to. He was trying to leave her alone with McCoy.
"What's wrong, Captain? You don't want to dance with me?" she shot at him.
Kirk laughed. "I don't know if I can handle all three of you. Besides, it wouldn't be fair to Bones. I'm not that greedy."
Before she could respond, he quickly grabbed Charlene's hand and pulled her and Janice on the dance floor.
She could feel McCoy's eyes burning into the back of her neck. She watched as Kirk danced with Charlene and Janice.
"You can acknowledge me, Nyota." she heard McCoy say.
She turned back to him. "I'm sorry Leonard. Have a seat."
The waiter came over to the table.
"Those three gentlemen over there wanted to give you three ladies a drink." he said nodding towards a table across the room.
Nyota smiled and waved. "Be sure to thank them". The men smiled back and then she turned to McCoy.
"Don't think I don't know what the Captain is trying to do." she said sipping the drink.
"What is he trying to do, Nyota?"
She stared into his blue eyes. Why did he have to be so handsome and sexy? She sipped her drink again. She looked out on the dance floor and watched the Captain and her friends who had now drawn the attention of the entire room with their dancing. At least he was behaving...somewhat. It was Janice that was a little out of control. She was behind him, rubbing up against him as he danced facing Charlene. Nyota cleared her throat and turned her attention back to McCoy.
"I would gather that James T. Kirk is trying his hand at being Cupid." she responded dryly.
McCoy sipped one of the drinks that the men had provided for the table. He lifted it in a salute to them. Nyota giggled.
"I don't think that was meant for you, Leonard."
"Well that's just too bad. I'm sure the big spenders won't mind buying a few more."
Nyota looked at him and felt the room grow warm. "I think I need some air."
She stood up and Leonard also stood grabbing her by the elbow.
"I'll walk you outside."
He guided her arm and she was about to protest, but then thought better of it. They walked across the hotel and through the double doors to the veranda.
The breeze was cool, but it did nothing to quell the heat the was building inside of her. What was in that drink? She felt the sweat on her back and a dull ache began between her thighs. Mcoy had brought his drink with him and sipped it as he looked out over the terrace.
"You know Nyota. I miss the hell out of you."
He turned to her and downed the last of the drink. His eyes roamed over her.
"I'd better walk you back to the lounge or to your room before I say something I may regret in the morning."
The heat that started at her center had increased and she felt her nipples began to ache. Damn! She was horny as hell! What was in that drink? She licked her lips. Her eyes raked over him and her gaze stopped at his zipper. Was that a slight bulge she detected? She looked up and saw that he was watching her.
"See something of interest?" McCoy asked.
Her mouth was dry. "What was in that drink?"
"Hell if I know." McCoy responded pulling her into his arms. "I think that those guys had some plans for you three. Maybe I should warn the others."
Nyota could feel his erection pressing against her stomach as he held her. "May be we should."
It took all her strength to pull herself away from McCoy and head back to the lounge.
Kirk was no where to be seen, but Charlene and Janice had returned to the table and two of the three men were there also.
Nyota and McCoy walked over to the table and they looked up surprised.
"We were wondering where you were, Nyota." Charlene said giggling. "This is Teddy and James."
The men nodded.
"Gentlemen." McCoy responded. "What did you put in those drinks?" He looked at Charlene and Janice who by now were working on their third drink.
We didn't put anything in the drinks." one of the men replied. "We ordered a Tet'amour which is a love potion famous here on Darius. It loosens your inhibitions. Perfectly legal and it does not make you do anything you hadn't thought about doing anyway."
"I'll drink to that!" Charlene replied giggling.
"I'm James" the second man said extending his hand. " We hope both of you enjoyed the drinks"
He winked at them.
Nyota didn't know what to say. She looked at McCoy who was avoiding her eyes. She had to get out of there and fast. She was suddenly horny as hell!
"Look, enjoy yourselves. I'll see you later." she said and turned quickly and walked off.
McCoy was on her in a second.
"Where are you going?" he hissed.
"Back to my room and I suggest you go back to yours." she said not looking back. She walked to the elevator and pushed the button. The doors opened and she walked inside hoping that he wouldn't follow her.
McCoy got on before the doors closed. "Lets' be adult about this."
He grabbed her arm and swung her around. "What are you afraid of?"
His hand felt as if it was burning a hole in her arm. He was sweating and the smell of him mixed with the smell of his cologne was sending her libido into overdrive. She looked up at him. His lips seemed to be drawing her and she wanted so desperately to taste them.
She opened her mouth to speak, but no words would come out. The elevator stopped on her floor and she forced herself out and down the hall to her room. McCoy was right on her heels.
"You didn't answer my questions, Nyota. What are you running from?"
"You!" she shrieked fumbling for her access key. The small chip fell to the floor. The heat was overwhelming and she had an overwhelming desire to rip his clothes off right there in the hall. McCoy quickly picked up the access key and held it to the door. It beeped and swung open.
Nyota quickly went inside. "Thank you, Leonard. You can go now." she put her purse on a nearby table. "Lights, forty percent"
She turned and he was standing there watching her. Her center was throbbing now and her nipples ached.
"The drink didn't seem to affect you any!" she snapped.
"Oh, it affected me alright." he replied. "I'm barely holding on here."
Damn! Damn! Damn! This night was not going as planned.
"I'll leave if you want me to." he was saying. He was still standing in the same spot by the door, not trusting himself to come any closer.
Nyota licked her lips. Even his voice was hot. It was low and sexy and her wetness was now running down the inside of her thigh. If he touched her, she knew she'd explode. Her body was screaming for contact with his. Was he feeling the same way?
"I'm hot" was all she could get out. Her voice cracked.
"For me?" he whispered from across the room.
Damn him! Why was he standing over there away from her? Why didn't he just make it easy on her and grab her and have his way with her...then it would be on him and not on her. She looked at him, pissed that he hadn't moved from that spot beside the door.
"Do you want me, Nyota? I sure as hell want you." She could hardly take her eyes off of the bulge in his pants which seemed to be growing right before her eyes.
Hell yeah she wanted him, but the words were stuck in her throat and wouldn't come out.
"Why are you standing across the room?" she managed to ask avoiding his query.
"I will only go only as far as you want me to go...so I need to keep my distance." he admitted still touching himself.
She watched as he fingered his erection through his pants which was now full blown. He leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. His actions were causing her blood to boil. A part of her wanted him to take it out so that she could watch him pleasing himself. She wanted to see it, to smell it and most of all taste it. She felt the inside of her mouth begin to water.
"You can take it out if you want to." she whispered trying not to sound demanding.
He opened his eyes and his hand ceased its movement. "I'm not that easy, Nyota. You'll have to come over here and take it out yourself."
His words sent bolts of electricity through her stomach. The thought of touching him...unzipping his pants was almost causing her to become undone. She was now wetter than she ever could remember. The dress was beginning to make her itch and she wanted to get it off her body.
Without another thought, she quickly pulled it over her head glad to be free of its confines. The cool air hit her body and her aching nipples pushed against the confines of her bra.
McCoy inhaled at the sight of her. He wanted to go across the room and rip the rest of her clothes off, but he needed to be one hundred percent sure she wanted this. True, the drink had its affect, but it didn't rob them of their free will. They were still quite capable of making rational decisions even though his own body was screaming for release. He wanted her more than just tonight under the influence of a drink. He wanted her every night, several times a night. He wanted to take away all her excuses. He wasn't going to make it easy for her!
"Damn you, Leonard McCoy. You're not going to make this easy for me are you?" she hissed coming across the room.
"No I'm not" he admitted.
She couldn't help herself. She ran her hand across the front of his pants. God, he felt hard...and good and she wanted him bad. He still hadn't touched her and she marveled at his control. Where the hell was hers?
She didn't realize that she had undid his pants until she heard them hit the floor at his feet and then she found herself on her knees and she had him in her mouth and she felt herself cum as she sucked him hard. That was a first. Damn!
Her hot mouth was about to be his undoing. He wasn't about to allow himself to cum like this. He pulled away from her and pulled her to her feet kissing her hard.
"I love you, baby. This isn't just sex. I love you." he growled.
Nyota groaned and felt his hand between her thighs.
"Damn, Nyota baby." he groaned pulling down her underwear. "Is all this for me?"
Nyota couldn't respond. All she knew was that she wanted him bad and he was taking too long. He was taking his time and she felt like screaming.
She led him to her bed and pulled him down on it.
"What do you want, baby" he whispered trailing kisses over her breasts after he had undid her bra.
"You. I want you, Leonard." was all she could say.
"You have me." he replied. His slow mouth had worked its way to her navel.
Eat me, Leonard! Now! her mind screamed but no words would come out.
"You smell delicious." he said. He began licking the inside of her thigh and the ache increased.
He still hadn't touched her there and she was practically running like a faucet.
"Leonard, please!" He was torturing her as he licked her other thigh.
He raised his head.
"What do you want?" he asked grinning.
"You know what I want!" she snapped irritated.
"I'm sorry, Nyota. You'll have to tell me."
Damn! Damn ! Damn! She wasn't good at this!
"I want...why do I have to tell you?" she hissed.
"Because I want you to. I want you to tell me you want me and what you want. It's only right. I've waited a long time for this moment."
He watched her reaction and knew that she was irritated, but he didn't want to leave any room for her to wiggle out of this with. He wanted her for the long haul.
"I want your mouth on me." she said her voice barely a whisper.
"My mouth was on you, Nyota. In fact I was enjoying the taste of your thighs." He returned to kissing the inside of her thighs.
"Why not go to the source." she ventured.
He laughed. "Don't be cute. Tell me!" His voice was demanding.
"I want you to make me cum. I want you to eat me."
He stopped and looked at her. "I will eat you from front to back. I will lick your ass and I will suck you dry if that's what you want. Do you know what I want?"
She smiled. "To fuck me, perhaps?" She sounded hopeful.
"Besides that." he replied.
There was a silence and he kissed her and grabbed her by the chin. "I want you to love me. I want your love. I'm giving you mine. I don't fuck and run, Nyota. I don't want any regrets tomorrow. I want you more than one night. This is more than just sex for me."
She stared at him. He was dead serious and she knew it.
"Alright Leonard." She was so hot she would agree to anything he asked. She felt him slide down her body and position himself between her thighs. His nose rubbed against her clit and his breath made her ache for release. His tongue began to tease her, and she arched to meet his mouth.
He began teasing her clit. He began sucking it gently and she felt like screaming.
Suddenly there was a banging on her door.
"Nyota! Are you in there? Open up! It's us! Charlene and Janice!"
What the hell? Nyota sat up in the bed seconds away from the climax of her life!
No! No! No! This wasn't happening! What the hell did they want?
Why the hell weren't they somewhere getting laid? McCoy fell back on the bed and Nyota jumped up.
The banging got louder and she quickly grabbed her robe and put it on.
She opened the door several inches gritting her teeth.
"What the hell is going on?" she asked barely able to control the level of her voice.
"Sorry to bother you Ny." Charlene said looking guilty. "But Dr. McCoy wouldn't happen to be in there with you is he?"
Nyota undid the door and it swung open. "Why?"
She looked from Charlene to Janice. "What's going on?"
Charlene spoke up. "It seems that 'Ms. Hot Pants' here is in a bit of a pickle. James kinda was experimenting with strawberries and uh..." She looked at Janice. "You tell her!"
Janice wouldn't meet her eyes. "Uh, Ny...it seems a strawberry got stuck..."
It took a moment to register through Nyota's lust filled haze. A strawberry stuck?
"Where?" she asked without thinking. Dammit! she was getting the tongue lapping of her life and they had to come and interrupt!
"You know where!" Charlene snapped. "She came and interrupted my good time because she didn't want to come here alone. I guess she thought you'd kill her on the spot."
"I am tempted!" Nyota hissed. "Go on back to your room. I'll get him."
She looked at Janice with a look that could kill. "Damn you, Janice!"
Before Janice could respond, Nyota slammed the door in both of their faces.
