[Too Cool Verse - Just the Thought of You]

Now that she slept beside Leo every night, Nyota slept better than she had ever slept in her life. It was such a comfort to drift off to sleep in his arms, to know that he'd be there beside her when she woke up. When he was there, she felt... safe. He had even rearranged his schedule so they could spend more nights together, and though she'd

It'd been so long since Leonard had actually worked an evening shift, he didn't know what to do with himself. He was used to working days now, and he'd grown accustomed to sleeping each and every night beside Nyota. This was his job, though. Sometimes everyone had to make sacrifices to keep everything running smoothly and as Chief Medical Officer, it really was his responsibility to make sure the medical bay was in order 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so when M'Benga called in sick, he said goodnight to his girlfriend and headed over. Now he was sitting at his desk, bored out of his mind, and wishing he was still in Uhura's quarters, sleeping as usual

Nyota drifted back towards consciousness. It's warm... "Leo," she murmured, making a soft noise of contentment and pressing herself back into his embrace. Her hand found his and squeezed it lightly. What a pleasant dream. She almost drifted off to sleep again but some part of her brain realized that she was actually awake and that he was really there. She blinked in surprise for a moment and then smiled, running her fingers affectionately over his hand. "You're back," she said sleepily, stating the obvious but unbelievably happy that he was there. Her brain was starting to wake up a little, and she realized that he'd just come back to find her in his bed... wearing his shirt... "I couldn't sleep," she said, feeling like she ought to explain. "I was... pretending you were here."

"Evenin, darlin'," he murmured softly into her ear, pulling her ear lobe between his teeth gently as she squeezed his hand. A soft chuckle rumbled in his chest as she explained herself as if she were doing something wrong and he leaned in a little closer, pressing a few kisses to the part of her collarbone showing because his shirt was too big on her. "You're always welcome here, Nyota. And it looks better on you anyways, I'm certainly not going to complain." It was wonderful, the feeling of her small frame curled into his, even though they were both clothed in one way or another, he felt like she fit with him like a puzzle piece. They were destined to end up like this. "Besides... what better way to come home than to find the woman of my dreams sleeping soundly in my bed," he said with a smile.

Even though she was still half asleep and perfectly content to just lie in his arms, his touch still affected her the way it always had, sending a little shiver down her spine. "Mm," she mumbled, turning her head to nuzzle his cheek a little as he kissed her collarbone. She shifted back a little, just wanting to be closer even though they were already pressed against each other. "I like the way it looks on you," she protested softly, "but I may have to steal one. It's apparently an excellent cure for insomnia." That last comment, that gentle reminder of how much she meant to him, made her heart feel warm. "When you first came in, I actually thought I was still dreaming," she whispered. He was the man of her dreams, in every sense of the word, and being cradled in his arms was the most comforting thing she knew. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You see, Nyota, that actually works out fairly well for the both of us. When my days are uneventful, I have much more energy for when we decide to make our evenings a little more eventful," he said with a soft chuckle. He slid his hands back around her waist, one of his palms pressed gently against her abdomen as the other snuck it's way up to her chest, teasing at one of her nipples as she slid a hand into his underwear playfully. "Why thank you, darlin'. There's a lot more'n just back rubs I can give with'em, too," he replied softly, kissing as far up her jaw as he could reach with her back to his chest.

"Then I wish you uneventful days every day." Her voice was breathy, and hitched as he teased her breast and pressed his hand against her stomach. Those last words made her shiver with desire. She knew very well what his hands can do, but she replied teasingly anyway, "Is that so? You're going to have to prove that to me, you know." It was suddenly unbearable that she couldn't see him, that she couldn't kiss him, and as he kissed up her jaw she turned her head to find his lips, pressing her mouth to his and then licking along the seem. She adjusted so that she was facing him without breaking the kiss.

Leonard smiled, leaning in to kiss his girlfriend with the same tender love that he administered the back massage not fifteen minutes earlier. The all too familiar taste of her lips sent chills down his spine and as she slid her tongue across his lips, he parted them for her, taking her tongue into his mouth to meet his own. His fingers traced the edge of her sweatpants teasingly as he murmured quietly between kisses. "I'd be more than happy to demonstrate, darlin'," he says with a soft chuckle, his deep southern accent resounding more solidly as his lust grew.

Nyota smiled into the kiss, eagerly accepting his invitation to slip her tongue into his mouth. She shuddered against him as his hand traced the waistline of her pants, kissing him more aggressively as her need grew. That deep accent made her stomach clench with desire. Fingertips trailed down his chest, tracing light circles over his nipples. "I very much want you to," she whispered against his lips, eventually diverting to trail kisses up his jaw. She lightly nipped his ear and then breathed words against the sensitive skin: "But after such a wonderful back rub, I also want to do whatever you want."
