SNIP

As he had thought in his mind, they hadn’t even really started yet. The fact that he was placing a challenge to rival hers gave her a moment of pause. How far into this game did she wish to go? She had posed the challenge of the kiss to him and he seemed to accept it but not quite take her up on it, leaving the ball in her court. Did she balk at the fact he tossed the challenge back at her to complete, or did she give in and get what she wanted in the first place? They were definitely still trying to figure each other out and while her challenge to kiss her had not necessarily been a test, it sort of was. Physical intimacy was enjoyable and she had grown up in a culture where if that was what you wanted, you did it as long as it was consensual. Perhaps that was the difference between her and Johann.

In the end, she smiled softly, deciding to give in and just do what she wanted. She lifted her face to his, her eyes closing, letting lips touch lips in a light kiss. She was a Betazoid and they didn’t stand on ceremony in this respect of their lives. They were on a beautiful beach. They clearly had chemistry. She felt her heart flutter from being so near. The kiss was only a moment really, though when she stopped the kiss, she didn’t move much, biting her lip with a half smile and nervous anticipation. She didn’t even dare to make herself look up into his eyes.

He was happy to be kissed by her, reciprocating as her lips touched his. He was satisfied at this point that he hadn’t been too optimistic in assessing where things were going, which was sometimes a failing of his when it came whether or not physical intimacy was actually going to happen.

Again? he thought. It wasn’t actually a question; her continued focus on not his eyes made it clear enough that she still wanted to be kissing. This time he made the point of kissing her, more intensely than before.

The first kiss had been tentative and light, a gentle expression of interest. She heard his thought clear as a bell before he made the decision to kiss her. Sienna was pleasantly surprised by his kiss, reaching her arms up and around his neck and moving closer, body to body. This kiss was more than the first, intense and full. She returned his kiss with equal delight and enjoyment. In his mind, he would hear a soft version of her voice sighing happily in a slow, languid style that matched her kiss, “Oh yes, again.”

Johann stood ramrod straight as soon as he heard the voice, breaking off the kiss. His eyebrows shot up straight as far as they could go.

“That was you?” he asked out loud.

The kiss was broken to her sudden shock and she realized what she had done. Her speaking to him through their unique connection was not exactly something she had purposefully done. Living the life of a Betazoid meant that telepathic messages were just a part of her daily life. So ingrained in her was the practice that she didn’t always think about doing it… it was just done. And while she had been very careful about this in the professional settings of her life, she had relaxed enough in his presence to forget herself and that someone might feel that to be an intrusion.

Immediately she nodded and stepped away, slipping from his arms. “I am so sorry.” Suddenly her mouth felt dry. She shook her head as she stammered her explanation. “That was incredibly impolite. I promise, I wasn’t actively reading your mind or anything… you just, you think some things very .... ummm… loudly? No, that sounds negative. Ummm. I was just responding to a surface thought. It wasn’t meant to be harmful.” Sienna was obviously flustered by her inadvertent intrusion and one could deduce that she was upset she might have disrupted their date or turned him off from the intimate moment they had.

Loudly, huh? he thought. He blinked while taking all of that in. “I mean, it didn’t hurt or anything,” he said a moment later. “It was just a bit of a shock. I guess. A surprise. Though I am pretty used to my thoughts being private.” But it can’t be that bad for me if we ended up here, right? he thought. He smirked a bit, a silly idea having come into his mind.

Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon, Manny Mota…

Sienna looked terribly confused and then shook her head with a reproachful look. “Well, that is not very nice. I can’t help it you are loud.” She said, stepping closer to him once more to punch him lightly on the shoulder. Then as if really realizing what he said, she looked even more confused. “What did that mean, Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon, Manny Mota…”
