VADM Francsizka's Quarters

Sweaty, breathless, and tingling after another forbidden lovemaking session, Diana Francsizka and Tommie McDaniel lay in the bed, still clutching each other, gently rubbing each other’s nude body. What had started out as two old friends out having dinner turned into several hours of cuddling, foreplay, and passionate sex in the Admiral’s large bed.

“This really needs to be the last time,” Diana said, breathlessly.

Tommie snorted a chuckle. “That’s what we said the last four times. Maybe we should just stop going to dinner? Or passing in the corridor? Or thinking about each other in general?”

She gouged his ribs with her knuckle. “You know I can’t stop thinking about you. And who doesn’t like to eat?”

“You know I do,” he said with raised eyebrows and a sly smile.

With a throaty chuckle she replied, “Mmmm...I could stand a bit mor--no! I will not let you get me sidetracked, Tommie! The last time, remember?”

He pouted as he softly caressed her cheek and ran a thumb lightly over her lips. “As you wish, Admiral.”

“You could always retire, you know,” she said as she ran a finger playfully down his chest. “Thirty years in the fleet is a very long time.”

“And what would I do? Hang around the station to be your beck-and-call-boy?” He paused, raising his eyebrows. “Actually, that wouldn’t be bad at all as long as it was a fairly regular occurrence. And what about you? You could retire.”

She rolled her eyes and laughed loudly. “And do what, shack up with you on the Protean? In what, bunk beds?”

“Yeah, probably not the best plan.”

She ran her fingers through his beard, relishing how wonderful it felt rubbing against various parts of her body. “Speaking of, how is Leah? Is she getting everything under control? Meshing with her new XO?”

More interested in the gorgeous body lying in front of him than talking shop, he groaned and fell onto his back. As he did, Diana rested laid her head on his arm and continued rubbing his chest.

“I won’t really know until we head out, but she’s taking the refit in stride. All of her T’s crossed and I’s dotted. As for Bevan, there’s sure to be some butting of heads until they figure each other out, but so far she’s only had to get after him a few times. He’s asking for it, though, if you want my opinion.”

“How so?”

He smiled as she ran her hand down his thigh. “She’s made it clear to him how she wants the ship run, that he should use the occasional slip-ups by crew as a learning experience and that he doesn’t have to write everyone up or recommend corrective action. But he’s 500% by the book, like he’s still in the academy. Honestly, he just needs to lighten up.”

“His last captain ran things the same way,” Diana replied, snuggling in closer. “I’ll never understand people that controlling. Serving under Leah will do him some good, and maybe vice-versa.”

He turned to look at the top of her head still on his arm. “You want her to pick up some of what he’s puttin’ down? Why?”

Raising her head and turning onto her stomach she replied, “Tommie, she’s brand new, thrust into this position without the benefit of having even been first officer yet. While Bevan may be overbearing, she will need some of that if she’s going to be a great ship captain. Not much, but she still has some learning of her own to do.”

“Fair point,” he replied. “And I guess she’s wanting some quality time with him, at least for a while. Instead of letting him run things on the mid shift, she has posted him with her on alpha shift for the foreseeable future, and a mix of Lt. Thoveh and other officers for the other shifts. From what I hear, Bevan wasn’t too happy about that, but she explained to him that they needed to get comfortable with each other and that was about the only way to do it. Oh, and she’s even scheduled the ship’s doctor and counselor for sporadic shifts.”

“Really? How much of a fight did they put up?”

He smirked. “Lt Buchanan, only slightly, but Doc Kallan wasn’t happy at all. I think Leah’s a bit concerned that what happened to her could potentially happen again, and that each department head should be ready to take command, if needed.”

“Not a bad idea, really. She’ll need to get them all through the bridge exam eventually, but a few shifts here and there isn’t a bad idea.” Diana smiled. “Good for her. And are you on the rotation as well?”

“Here and there, when the officers need a day off. With the slew of new enlisted we received, I’ll have quite a bit of work to do anyway getting them squared away.”

“And the refit is finished, then?”

“The warp drive test went well. We’ll test the defensive systems tomorrow and, if all goes well, we’ll be on our way the day after.” Saying that, he felt a pang sadness wash over him.

“Stop that, Tommie,” she demanded gently. “It’s not like we’re exclusive. You know I don’t care if you’re with other women.”

With a heavy sigh he added, “Yes, Diana, but if I had my druthers--”

She kissed him. “I know.” She then cocked her brow. “Is that a hyperspanner under the blankets or are you just extraordinarily happy to have a smoking hot, naked woman lying beside you?”

“Oh, I think you know the answer to that,” he replied as he placed her on her back and he slid on top of her.

“This really needs to be the last time,” she whispered as he kissed her chest and neck.

“Yep. Whatever you say.”
