Peace ... happiness ... contentment ... joy ... I know all these feelings intimately, through my association with Nyota, my beloved. Before her, they were simply words ... the emotions that accompanied them foreign to me. Not that I had been incapable of feeling emotion ... it was that I had denied myself the luxury of feeling these emotions ... any emotions.
Without her love, I would not have been able to share the joy of seeing my old friends earlier this night ... nor expressed my pleasure in learning of their happiness with their current relationships. The nature of those relationships was a bit of a surprise, especially Christine's, but to know that each of them had found the same happiness that I had found gave me great pleasure ... more than I could possible express in words.
But words had not been necessary ... I could see that in their eyes, as they greeted me. Even Jim, whom I know had feelings for me that I could not reciprocate. To see him happy with Leonard, after all these years, filled me with satisfaction ... and joy.
The flame before me flickers ... my mind refuses to focus on it ... there are too many distractions for me to meditate properly, and I sense Nyota is still awake in the other room, waiting for me. I made a decision earlier, one that I should meditate on, and look at logically before I act on it ... but for once, I may let instinct guide me, and hope for the best. It is not logical, but I do believe it is the right thing to do.
Standing, I turn off the flame, and silently make my way to the bedroom. As I suspected, Nyota is awake, and waiting. She is so lovely ... radiant in the dim glow of the candle on the night stand. I drop my robe, shivering slightly in the chill night air, before I join her in our bed. I run my fingers along her temple, down her cheek, turning her face to me as I kiss her in the human fashion ... I open my mind to her, feeling her emotions and warmth flowing into me. I long for more, but we have decided to wait until we are married to forge a full bond.
As I kiss her, I feel her hands caressing my body, bringing me to the height of arousal. She is in complete control of me ... I know our lovemaking will be slow and tender, as she brings me to the brink and back several times before I completely lose control ... she has such a lovely way of doing that to me. Later, I will do the same for her, and will make her loose herself in her fulfilment over and over again ...
And in the morning, I will tell her of my decision to rejoin Starfleet, so that we may serve together on Enterprise.
The end
