They had met years ago at the Academy. Since then, their time together was sporadic at best, but each time was memorable in it's own way. To Beverly, the last time they had come together had been the most exhilarating...after all, Kathryn had just gotten her own command, and you can imagine how that made her feel. And of course, she shared those feelings of empowerment with her best friend and occasional lover, Beverly.
The sex had been...well, nearly overwhelming in its intensity. And now, Beverly was getting wet just thinking about it, wondering if Kathryn would still remember her, after all these years. Beverly had read the briefings, and knew the hardships that Kathryn had endured in the years that Voyager was lost.
But now they were back, and safe. Kathryn was a hero and had been promoted to Admiral; now, she'd command more than just a ship...and Beverly eagerly awaited her turn in the reception line.
As their eyes met, a spark passed between them. Beverly felt it jolt her to her core, and knew in an instant that Kathryn felt it, too. But there were others nearby, standing in line, awaiting their turn to great her, and the rest of her crew. Beverly smiled, as she shook Kathryn's hand, then leaned forward to give a friendly one-armed hug, whispering in her ear, "When you're free, I'll be at the bar."
*~*
An hour later, Kathryn slid onto the bar stool beside Beverly, and ran her hand up Bev's thigh. "Buy a girl a drink, sailor?" she said in her deep, sultry voice.
Bev smiled, asking, "You still drink Glenmorangie?"
"Not that I've had the chance, lately," she purred, "but yes," and Bev ordered for them both. It was smooth, and went down quickly, as they shared the condensed version of what had transpired since they had seen each other last, then it was off to Kathryn's room.
The clothes came off fast. Neither one taking the time to savor the moment. There would be time for that later, right now, the need was too great for subtlety. Lips met in desperate need, as hands roamed over familiar territory, quickly re-learning what touch brought the quickest release.
And when that release came, Kathryn knew at last that she was truly home...and cried for the joy she felt in the arms of her lover.
*~*
Time passed, and they made love yet again. This time, it was slower, more deliberate...and Bev couldn't help but think that it was more intense, if that were at all possible. It was during this second lovemaking that Bev first noticed the scars. They were subtle, but to Beverly's trained eye, noticeable nonetheless.
Lying there with Kathryn sleeping beside her, she conjured up scenarios in her mind, based on the briefing she had read. She shivered; there were so many atrocities that Kathryn and her crew had lived through. Things that Beverly could only imagine, and wonder if she would have been strong enough to survive them.
She was still lost in thought when Kathryn stirred. "Hey," she said in a sleepy voice.
"Hey, yourself," Bev replied, and pulled her close. Kathryn's hands started to explore Bev's body...her mouth following close behind, and suddenly, all thoughts of what Kathryn had been through vanished from Bev's mind, as they lost themselves to the pleasure of each others bodies once again.
