A minute later the bell chimed and door slid open. The three women: Rachel, Holsa, and Dul’or came in. Holsa smiled and said “Now then, sir and Madame, we need to prepare for your massage. If you will stand please, and move to the side? Thank you.”

Once the couple had moved, Holsa lifted a device and pressed a button. The recliners shifted slightly and then rose on concealed, telescoping legs. The chairs elongated and widened slightly, turning into tables.

Holsa looked at the Viyara and Daggum and smiled. Rachel and Dul’or went to a closet and pulled out large heated sheets and laid them across the table, two on each. Holsa then said very softly “If you will disrobe and lay down on your back, we will begin”. The lights dimmed and a soft, relaxing music began to play. Holsa lifted the sheet to block her view of Viyara, while Rachel and Dul’or did the same for Daggum. Daggum looked at Viyara and smiled, then dropped the robe and helped her off with hers. He then laid on the table and the two attendants draped the sheet over him.

Viyara returned his smile and let her gaze linger on his body for a few moments. She really did like what she was seeing. But of course just standing there staring at him, wouldn’t do, so she hoisted herself gracefully onto her table. As she laid down on the warm sheets, she sighed softly. Just the heat felt already very good. Turning her head to look at Holsa, she smiled at the other woman and said, “My left writs is a little sensitive from injuries and the like over the year. So if you could be mindful of that, I’d be very grateful.” It was then that she suddenly wondered if their shower and relaxation had left any marks on her body and couldn’t help but laugh softly. After all, she hadn’t looked into a mirror since, nor had she paid much attention to her own body as she was far too distracted by his. Though from past experience she had a feeling that there might be a few bruises.

Holsa nodded and then said softly “Is it muscular, skeletal, or nerve sensitivity? I may be able to help alleviate some of that.”

“I’d say all of the above,” Viyara replied a little hesitantly while she tried the discomfort and the hint of anxiety she felt off her face. “I fractured my left radius and ulna twice and I’m a little prone to tendinitis in my left wrist. Which happens to be my dominant one, of course.” While those bones weren’t the only ones she had fractured over the years, they were the ones that still seemed to cause issues at times. Despite the fact that they had been treated by doctors and had healed very well.

She tucked the warm sheet around Viyara’s body, save for her left arm. “I will keep the sheet around you at all times, except for what part am I working on.” she half-whispered. “You don’t have to move anything, just let me do the work, all right? If you want more or less pressure, just tell me. And if there is anywhere you don’t want me to work on, let me know. Otherwise, just relax.”

“I will. Thank you Holsa,” Viyara nodded and then took a deep breath as she tried to relax. Giving up control was something she was not good at and that made her feel uncomfortable. But she knew that nothing could hurt her here. That nothing bad was going to happen to her. ‘You’re going to be alright,’ she told herself silently and closed her eyes.

Daggum received similar instructions from Dul’or, but she was teamed up with Rachel due to his size and musculature. Right before they began in earnest, they rolled in another smaller table between the two and took Viyara’s right arm and Daggum’s left and laid them on it and placed their hands together, fingers entwined like they had been in the mud. Another warm sheet covered them and then the massage began. Daggum turned his head and smiled at Viyara and gave her a gentle squeeze, and then he turned his head back and osed his eyes… the only movement was the slight back and forth caress of his thumb on her hand.

Turning her head, Viyara returned the gentle squeeze as she smiled back at him. ‘Thank you,’ she mouthed silently. She knew that this additional table and giving couples the chance to hold hands was probably standard procedure, but she was grateful for it as she felt like she needed it a little to anchor herself. For several moments she continued to look at Daggum, even after he had turned his head again and closed his eyes. But eventually she turned her head and closed her eyes as well.

The massage began and the expert hands of the attendants began to do their work. As one extremity was completed, it was covered with the sheet and kept warm.

When Holsa began working on Viyara’s arm, though, she paused after her initial gentle rundown and leaned in close to Viyara. “I think I can alleviate at least the majority of your pain. Rachel is a very adept acupuncturist, and has a great record of alleviating pain and inflammation that modern medicines seem to not address. Don’t speak, simply nod yes or no and I will make the arrangements. And it doesn’t hurt… trust me.”

Holsa

Viyara nodded and and whispered very softly, “Okay.” her arm hadn’t bothered her much for a while now. Or maybe she was just used it and only noticed it when it got worse. Either way, she was not going to say no to some help. Especially help that came without all the questions Starfleet doctors always tended to ask. And if whatever they were going to try felt even nearly as good as the rest of the massage had so far, she was definitely not going to complain even if it didn’t actually change anything in the long run. So with her eyes still closed she continued to enjoy the massage while trying to not to think, but just to be. There were times when she managed that easily, but they generally involved some sort of often intense exercise. Where as lying somewhere and doing nothing was tricky and often resulted in trips down memory lane. And that was something she wanted to avoid and had been able to so far.

Rachel and Holsa swapped places, and Rachel moved up by Viyara’s head. “I’m going to be utilizing special needles to ease the pain in your wrist. Each goes only a centimeter or so into your skin, and they are so fine you will barely feel them. Then, they are heated and the heat will ease your inflammation and such. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, let me know.” she whispered.

“I will. Thank you,” Viyara replied softly and looked for a moment at Rachel with a warm smile before closing her eyes again.

It was about half an hour later that an aroma wafted through the room, smelling of jasmine and herbs. Daggum raised his head slightly and looked over and saw half a dozen small metal needles protruding from V’s wrist. Each one had a small piece of incense at the top that smoked slowly. He laid his head back and smiled, hoping it helped.

The smell from the incense surprised Viyara a little and she opened her eyes. It didn’t bother her or anything. It was merely something she hadn’t expected. At first she wasn’t sure where it come from, other than that it must be very close. So when she saw that it came from the needles in her wrist, she looked a little startled. It didn’t hurt or anything. It was just even more unexpected than the scent alone. Looking up at Rachel, she couldn’t help but to give her a slightly quizzical look.

Rachel smiled and said “Thats where the heat comes from. Just relax. They will stay there for about half an hour. In the meantime, I will continue your massage.” and she put a finger to her lips and started working on Viyara’s shouders and upper arms.

Rachel

After a moments hesitation, Viyara nodded a little and then closed her eyes once more. It took her a bit to let go and relax again, but eventually she managed to and suddenly found that the scent from the incense was oddly calming and relaxing as well. Though never the less Rachel would be able to feel the build up tension in her neck and shoulders.

Rachel worked on the tension, and next to Viyara Daggum moaned as the other two attendants worked on him. They worked on the front side of the ‘couple’ for a while, and the needles were taken out of Viyara’s wrist and the two of them were put on their stomachs, their other arms lain on the table and hands joined. As they adjusted to the new position, Daggum looked at Viyara and smiled a warm and affectionate smile and gave her hand a squeeze.

Soon the hands of the attendants began working on sore muscles, knots, and applying oils and gels that made skin feel fresh and cool, and before they knew it the music faded and the massage stopped. Holsa said “We will leave the two of you to shower and dress. Your room is being prepared as we speak, so as soon as you are ready I can take you up in the private lift. I’ll be at the desk, but no rush. Take your time, you two.” and she smiled and left the room with the other two, who pause and looked at Viyara and then ever so slightly curtsied before leaving.

Daggum rolled on his back and said “Damn… that was amazing. I don’t think I want to move…” and he looked at her and grinned, “… unless you are going to shower with me?” and he chuckled.
