Labors completed, she rose from her position, brushing her body against him the entire way up until she was nearly eye to eye with him once more. She searched his eyes for his reaction, then moved toward him slowly, her lips slightly parted as her eyes stayed on his until she was too close to focus anymore... then she closed them, and kissed him tenderly. When she pulled back slightly she moved nose to nose with him and smiled at him shyly.

"I think I prefer human mating rituals if it is all the same to you, Captain..." said the vivacious Vulcan.

He had a rather content look on his face, though he was a bit lost in thought as well. "I see you are well versed in human anatomy. Spent a bit of time in Paris, I am guessing? If I'd known that you were so eager to get into such things, I would have let loose sooner. Perhaps I will have to show you a few things that you were unaware of regarding humans after my duty shift."

That lopsided grin that she wore so well spread across her face, and she shrugged. "You ask nothing of me... which inspires me to give you more, Human. It is not that I was eager... well, I was, but... it is just that..." She seemed to be having difficulty articulating her feelings, which surprised him. Expressing herself usually seemed to be the easiest task in the universe for her.

"You have done all that I asked and more. I just wanted to do something nice for you... that's all," she finally managed to say in a small voice.

He put his hand to her cheek, and watched her turn into it with a soft smile. "Appreciated, love. But always remember that you don't have to do that sort of thing if you don't want. Besides, I much prefer expressing both sexuality and my love for you in more intimate ways," and then he kissed her softly.

"How is it that you always know just what to say to melt me?" she asked when he released her from the kiss, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Properly raised to treat a woman like a lady, and treat the lady you hold dear like a queen. I hope you can handle such high praise."

"I'll learn to work on it," she giggled, then she stroked her fingers lightly over his chest. "So... the whole ship knows by now, you realize, or they'll have their suspicions at least. Plenty of folks saw us last night, and scuttlebutt will have its way. Plus unless I am going to work on sneaking out of your quarters after you, they will see me leaving, and there are only so many conclusions that can be drawn from a woman leaving the Captain's quarters in the morning."

"We are both officers, so it isn't fraternization per se..." She left the statement hanging at that and waited for his thoughts.

"They will have their rumors... and I say let them talk. All that matters to me is that I have you here, lassie. We do our duty for king and country, but when we are off duty, the only obligations we have are our to ourselves and one other. That is all that matters to me." He caressed her face and then kissed her again tenderly, gripping her in his masculine arms and letting her feel the vibrations in his body that signaled he was sincere.

Snuggling against him happily, Charybdis making humming sounds somewhat akin to purring inside her chest as she did so. A few moments passed saying nothing before she chuckled aloud.

"The worst part about working together is that we definitely can't call in sick together..." She looked up at him and smiled demurely. "Because I really, really do not want to be on duty today. I just want to be here, with you."

Before he could reply she held up her hand. "I know, I know, King and Country, needs of the many, duty calls, I know. Besides," she said with a mischievous grin. "I cannot let my Captain down."

"Well actually..." he started, a smile crawling across his face, then he sighed. "No, you are right, we really should get to work today. Tomorrow may a different story though."

"And we still have tonight... let tomorrow worry about itself, eh?" she added.

"One day at a time m'dear. Let the future handle itself," he said, then kissed her passionately, pleased that she responded in kind. He let the kiss go and slid off the bed. "And since I don't have time to get dressed and do the unspeakable acts to you that are going through my mind, I think I will try to sneak into the shower before you steal it," he chuckled playfully.

The Vulcan vixen wiggled her eyebrows at him as he headed for the shower, then vaulted off the bed after him. "I've always wondered if those showers could accommodate two people..."
