SNIP

It was a good thing the vase was on a stable surface when D’Vash choose to kiss her neck, because Pretha sighed and leaned back against him. Her soft whisper carried back to him. “You do that and I can’t lie..” she laughed softly. “I haven’t been sleeping well.” Suddenly the held back guilt came rushing out. “I had to kiss the other you to distract him from killing the Doc.”

She stiffened slightly as if bracing herself for… something. “It wasn’t you… I knew it from when he walked in and kissed me. I mean,” she was stammering, “you’d never walk into the Ready Room and kiss me like that.” She bit her lip. There wasn’t any excuse or reasoning that made sense to why she felt guilty. But she did. “I’m sorry, D’Vash…”

Pretha

He took a step back and spun Pretha around. He took both her hands and squeezed. D’vash was silent for a moment while trying to think of the right way to respond.

“It’s okay,” he said softly. “You did what you had to do. If your actions kept anyone else from getting hurt while we were trying to figure things out. There’s no need to feel guilty. I’m not mad, or angry. Did he try to . . . force himself on you? That would make me angry.”

He touched her chin to turn her face up toward his own. “I’m grateful you realized it wasn’t me before he could hurt you. If it makes you feel any better, I never ran across your double until we had them all rounded up. Though, it would have been interesting to see if she was as good of a kisser as you. Y’know,just to see if I could tell you two apart.”

He always managed to make her smile. Shaking get head
she reassured him. “No, he was the perfect, albeit, possessive, gentleman till he tried to kill the Doc.” She thumped his chest with her fist and have a mock frown. “You better know the difference, mister, out the Captain may need a new first officer. And lest you forget…”

She didn’t finish the sentence, but kissed him hard and sure, so he’d never forget.

Pretha

When they broke the kiss, D’vash smiled and replied, “Yeeeeah, there’s no mistaking this is the real you. Tender, gentle . . . sift, yet passionate. When I look into your eyes, I can see that. You look into the eyes of the duplicates and that sense isn’t there. It’s just. . . . lust, with no real feelings behind it. I prefer this more.”

She smiled back. ” I do, too.” She moved towards the table and kitchenette area. “I didn’t make anything ahead of time. Wasn’t sure what you’d feel up to tonight.” She laughed but it wasn’t her usual cause laugh. “Was afraid I’d pick something you’ve been eating three night in a row, already.”

“You know, we should try one of those holodeck vacation programs. I know I said I didn’t like them, but no idea when we’ll get leave time again. And they can’t be all that bad or they wouldn’t be so popular… Right?” She was lousy at small talk but suddenly couldn’t think of a single thing to say.

Pretha

“An XO’s job is never done, and with a new captain on board, I doubt I’ll get any time for a leave until Hamlicar is settled in. So that holodeck idea might be our best option for some alone time for awhile.” He sidled up behind Pretha, wrapping his arms around her waist and applying tender kisses to her neck. “You have something in mind?”

Odinson (XO)

She covered his arms with her own and leaned back into his embrace. “Actually, no,” she laughed softly. “I have no idea. But I’m sure there’s some program with an amazing view. Or perhaps some place we can’t actually go without fear of dieing that’s stunning and breathtaking and perfectly safe in a program. Like some gas giant orbiting an asteroid field or something.”

She turned her head to half glance at him and kissed his cheek. “Or we can just conjure up another faire. You managed to be so charming that you made me forget I was a security officer. Did you know that?”

Pretha

“I guess I take after my father in that respect. Mother said he could’ve charmed the winter pants off a Laplander if he had ever been to Earth,” D’vash replied while returning her kiss.

“”Laplanders. Hmmmm? That gives me an idea. Have you ever experience a Polar Night? It’s an incredible sight to see.”

Odinson (XO)

Pretha laughed. “Then I feel for your mother. Because I’m guessing I’ll have to be more of a security officer, rather than less of one, around you just to chase off the other women.”

When he mentioned the Polar Nights, she shook her head and laughed. “You’re trying to be romantic, and you’re recommending we freeze to death? Forgive me, but the connection is completely lost on me.” She turned in his arms and slid her hands around his waist. “So how is shivering supposed to be romantic?” Her eyebrows rose in curiosity and her lip curled up in a challenging grin.

Pretha

“The only shivering you’ll be doing is from me, exploring every inch of you with kisses,” he replied, pulling her in tight. “No shivering from the cold, though we will be a bit north of the Arctic Circle. But, we’ll be in a cabin, with a roaring fire, bear skin rugs, some wine. The bed facing out through a large picture window that takes up the whole north wall, where can experience the Polar Night. It’s a time of the year where everything above the circle is in a cinstant state of Twilight. It’s like the sun is setting continuously for about 6 months. It’s an incredible sight to see. And I want you to see it with me.”
