The beginnings of kindness

Part 01

They had been home for only a matter of moments. But it was long enough for Kathryn to feel strange and almost shy. During the short trip back from the restaurant, Kathryn had realized the strangest thing. She was starting think of the house she shared with Seven as home.

And it was a thought she found most disturbing. After all, for many years Voyager had been her only home. She had never meant to find a sense of security or belonging anywhere else, especially not with the Borg.

But she couldn't help her feelings. It had been days since she had even contemplated escape. And as much as she hated to admit, she wasn't so sure that she even wanted to go.

There was a part of her that wanted to be with Seven. She wanted to have the drone as her own. She wanted a family. And as much as it pained her, she wanted a life outside of command. There was so much of her that had been silent for far too long.

"You've been very quiet." Seven said perching on the side of their bed.

The drone didn't bother to approach the human. She had a difficult time figuring out the exact changes of Kathryn's moods. She had often found that it was better for the human to come to her.

"I suppose." Kathryn answered moving to stand in front of the drone.

Seven looked up at her not really sure what Kathryn wanted. Romance was hard enough for her to analyze. When it was compounded by Kathryn's temper and sometimes violent mood swings she often had little clue as to what was going on.

And at the moment, Kathryn was staring down at her through unfocused eyes. Her lips were soft and her skin slightly flushed. Seven was about to ask her what was troubling her when the human graciously made her intentions known. Carefully, she slid onto Seven's lap content to rest against the wide berth of the drone's ample breasts.

"Are you all right?" Seven asked, not sure that she should really disturb the moment.

Kathryn only nodded snuggling firmer into the warmth of the drone's body. But Seven for her part was quite unsure what to do. The human was resting in such a way that it would be easiest to reach out with her mechanical arm. But Seven knew from experience that Kathryn found the touch of her implant to be more then repugnant.

"Doesn't this bother you?" Kathryn whispered grabbing onto Seven's Borg appendage with both hands.

Seven wrapped it across the human's waist. And Kathryn couldn't help but take a sharp inhale of breath when the cold metal touched her skin. It was strange, every other time she had touched it the metal had been warm. But now, it felt cold and frightening as it enclosed around her form like a steel cage.

"No, why would it?" Seven asked trying to keep her tone even.

But the drone was having a hard time pushing away her total annoyance. She was growing tired of Kathryn's gawking fear when it came to her appearance. And in some ways, it was hurting her feelings more then she would care to admit.

"Because on Voyager?doesn't this make you mad?" Kathryn asked looking up into Seven's eye.

"No. But you are angry?" Seven asked finally detecting a note of familiar recrimination in her former Captain's voice.

"They took you apart. They put this on you. Yes, it makes me angry. But it also makes me sad too." Kathryn admitted knowing that her own fear was staring to simmer.

She was virtually trapped by Seven's long metal arm. If the drone were to become angry with her, Kathryn knew it could easily snap her in half like a steel claw. But she tried not to think like that. Seven's wasn't a monster. And in some intimate way, she knew that Seven would never hurt her.

"Kathryn they did not take me apart. As far as I am concerned, they put me back together. They made me whole again." Seven said turning the human in her arms. She wanted to look into the human's eyes. She wanted Kathryn to know that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"While I was on Voyager my appearance was altered. The doctor removed the limbs that I had lived with as my own. I was so young when I was assimilated. You know that. I never really lived in a human body. I spent the vast majority of my life with an ocular implant and a mechanical arm. This is natural to me. My body on Voyager made me feel awkward at times?" Seven answered hoping that the woman would be able to understand her feelings.

"I never knew that you felt that way." Kathryn muttered realizing how blind she had been.

She had wanted Seven to experience her humanity. They tried to remove implant after implant in a bold attempt to remove the drone and find a human. Kathryn had been convinced that underneath it all laid the beating heart of a woman named Annika.

"I know. That is because you are human. But for me to become human was an impossible task. Surely you must have seen that." Seven said noticing that Kathryn seemed to be having a hard time meeting her gaze.

"I know that you thought underneath all of this you would find Annika. But Kathryn, my human self died decades ago. I am Borg. I am only Seven of Nine. You can't recreate me in a human image. I am most comfortable with this form, implants and all. I only hope that you too can find some way to accept me." Seven said speaking her feelings very openly to the human.

"Seven?I've always cared for you, regardless of your form." Kathryn muttered.

Before another word could be spoken she felt Seven find her mouth in a searing kiss. Their tongues danced in a silent plea and answer for passion. But somewhere between the joining of their slick tongues, Kathryn realized it was more then that. It was a slow and wet request for love.

Seven lifted the human in her arms laying her down onto the bed beneath her. Kathryn knew there would be no final act to their passion, not tonight any ways. But as she reached up and clung to the drone's body with her own, she realized that she didn't really want to feel mere lust. She had waited too long for simple sexual gratification.

Now the human realized that there was only one thing that she wanted. In a lot of ways, it seemed strange that she would seek it from a Borg drone. Kathryn wanted love, soft tender blinding love in all its strange and mysterious acts. But Kathryn knew that Seven was the only person should care ever feel that with. After all, the steely and quite beautiful Borg drone was the only person that she had ever truly and completely loved.

Part 02

"Seven, please?" Kathryn gasped out in a scream loud enough to wake the dead.

The woman writhed on the bed beneath the beautiful Borg drone. Kathryn's body had totally surrendered to the need that Seven had incited within her. Their lips had met in hungry, wet, ravenous kisses. And from there, the drone had left nothing undiscovered.

Kathryn could tell that Seven was studying her body with an acute clarity that could only come from the Hive. The drone had suckled and nipped every single delicious inch of her neck. But Seven didn't stop with just kisses. She moved on to long languid strokes up and down the length of the woman's body. And Kathryn was thoroughly enjoying every single touch of the drone's soft human hand.

But Kathryn herself had done some exploring of her own. She had kissed every single inch of the blonde's flesh that she could come in contact with. Her hands had clawed and scratched at Seven's clothes in a futile attempt to rip it right from the drone's body.

Kathryn couldn't even begin to describe the passion that had come over her. She felt literally overwhelmed with a painful need that only seemed to be growing stronger. And even though her body was screaming for release she knew that it wasn't to be. Seven had already made that perfectly clear. And now as she lay there, she couldn't figure out if she even really screaming for the drone to stop. Because right now, Kathryn realized that all she truly wanted was to stop waiting.

"You must control yourself." Seven hissed out in a low warning.

Quickly, she captured both of the human's hands. She held them above Kathryn's head in an easy clap. It was Seven's warm human hand that was holding her prisoner.

And it's not that Kathryn minded the touch. The fierce contact had caused her breasts to rise up right into the very swell of Seven's body.

But she was surprised by the strength that Seven possessed even in her human hand. Kathryn hadn't expected that. The human had no real desire to break free of the hold. She loved to feel Seven's tight form pushing into her smaller body.

Yet, there was some instinct to struggle that she couldn't seem to control. It wasn't that she really wanted to break free. Kathryn simply wanted to see if she could.

Seven looked down at the human with a hazy stare that spoke volumes for the passion she was feeling. There was no question in her mind that she loved Kathryn. She loved her more thoroughly and completely then Seven had ever imagined possible.

But the woman was literally driving her insane with need. There was nothing she wanted more at this very moment then to bury herself deep within the liquid folds of her lover's body. But she couldn't do that, it was still too soon and far too dangerous.

"Seven?" Kathryn gasped out in a husky question when the drone literally threw her to the other side of the bed.

The human's hair had become tousled in the fall. Her skin was flushed and swollen. And through the silken outline of her dress Seven could tell just how much Kathryn needed her.

"Remove your clothing." Seven commanded in a low hushed whisper.

The human stared at her in a mixture of alarm, confusion, and dire excitement. She wanted to feel Seven sliding across her naked flesh. At the moment, Kathryn couldn't think of nothing that she ever wanted more.

But the human didn't think that such a thing was possible. Seven had warned her. The drone had told her that it was far too dangerous for them to be together. And yet, Seven kneeled on the bed simply waiting for her order to be followed. The drone was acting like she had every intention of completing this act. And as much as Kathryn wanted to, she didn't know if they really should.

"Seven?what about?about what you said. You said we couldn't." Kathryn muttered trying her best not to sound desperate and wanton.

But she knew that it was a hopeless cause. She was literally simmering in her own need for the tall cool drone. And for the first time she realized that it didn't matter to her that Seven knew how very much she needed her. For the first time, Kathryn was willing and ready to own every single one of her rather sexual urges. And desperately, she wanted to act on them.

"Just do it." Seven hissed out in a low voice.

Kathryn eyed the drone wondering what Seven had in mind. For a split second, she considered pulling away. She didn't like to be given orders, especially in bed. And Seven was certainly setting all the rules.

But there was another side to the former Starfleet Captain. There was a side that made her stomach twist in frantic anticipation. There was a side that was just a woman in love.

And it was because of that rush of femininity that Kathryn finally rose from the bed. She walked around the corner standing right in front of the drone. Kathryn wasn't ashamed of her body. She had been no stranger to athleticism. And since the influx of nanoprobes, Kathryn was absolutely certain that she had never looked better.

Slowly, she slipped one black strap off her shoulder. And then she did the same to the other. Seven stared at her with rapt fascination practically daring her to continue.

And Kathryn was certainly not one to back down from a challenge, even a silent one. She lowered the dress all the way to her ankles easily stepping out of it. Then she stood there in front of Seven, wearing only her silky undergarments.

She looked at the drone pleased to see unabashed desire cross Seven's features. She wanted to be attractive to the drone. She wanted Seven to crave her.

Kathryn wondered just how far she was supposed to take her little strip tease. She still didn't know what exactly Seven had in mind. But the human decided that she wanted to show Seven everything that she was. She wanted Seven to see all of her.

Slowly, she reached behind her back unfastening the clasp of her bra. As her firm high breasts fell free of their constraint, she actually saw the normally stoic Seven bite into her lower lip. Moving just a bit closer to the bed, she slipped her fingers into the waistband of her panties.

Suddenly, the drone couldn't seem to control her reaction. She rose up onto her knees as if to prepare for something. Seven's eyes were wide and focused. And Kathryn could tell that she was committing every single nuance of her body into her flawless memory.

And for some reason, that excited her. She was pleased to know that Seven found her worthy of study and analysis. She was honored to know that Seven craved her as a lover.

"Should I continue?" Kathryn whispered clutching the sides of her panties in her balled up fists.

She looked into Seven's eyes showing the drone that all the fear had slipped away. There were innumerable reasons why Kathryn shouldn't want this. There were countless reasons why she should run as far from the drone as possible. But there was one important reason to stay. And now she realized that her long denied love, was really the only thing that mattered.

"Please?" Seven gasped out letting the human know just how much she needed this too.

Not wanting to disappoint her audience, Kathryn finally lowered the remaining barrier of clothing. She left herself bare to Seven's discerning gaze. Kathryn knew that she was in real trouble when the drone's mere stare could cause her body to ache and swell. She wanted Seven's touch. And just standing there, naked with anticipation, Kathryn thought that she literally might erupt.

Part 03

"Come here?" Seven whispered beckoning Kathryn back to the bed.

The woman took the hand that reached out for her. Seven gently guided her back to the mattress. And Kathryn's eyes widened as she anticipated what would come next.

Carefully, Seven lowered her down onto the bedding. Kathryn eyed the drone, wondering what exactly Seven had in mind. But Seven remained fully clothed as she perched over the human's naked body.

But the drone didn't speak. She took her human hand and carefully traced the soft lines of Kathryn's mouth. The human didn't speak either. Kathryn only parted her lips allowing Seven to touch her more fully.

Yet the drone didn't stop with her mouth. She gently ran her human hand down the length of Kathryn's body. She touched her from the very top of her shoulder to the firm swell of her thigh. But Seven always avoided the places that Kathryn wanted to feel her hand the most.

"You're beautiful." Seven whispered intently studying the lines and curves of Kathryn's naked flesh.

Kathryn could tell that the uttered compliment wasn't solely from Seven's human side. She knew that Seven's ocular implant was intently trained on her as well. As a Borg, Seven found her attractive. And for some reason, Kathryn was a bit uncomfortable with the revelation.

The age difference between them had always bothered her. In fact, it was part of the reason why she had never acted on her feelings for Seven in the first place. She was old enough to be Seven's mother. She was a woman well into her forties. And she was thoroughly unaccustomed to being someone's object of lust.

But that's just how Seven was staring at her. The drone's lips were parted and swollen as she gazed at the long soft length of Kathryn's body. And every so often, the drone would flick her tongue alone the surface of her lips.

Kathryn had never had anyone study her like this before. In fact, she had never really let her previous lovers see her this completely. She had never really been a shy or modest person. She had just never been with anyone who found her quite as fascinating as Seven of Nine.

"Seven? Do you really mean that?" Kathryn asked through a hushed whisper.

The drone looked up from the firm muscles of her stomach to gaze into her eyes. At first, Seven appeared to be searching her memory for some reference to what the human could be referring. And when she found it, her entire face softened.

Seven traveled back up the bed to stare directly into Kathryn's eyes. The human tried to ignore her gleaming refection found in Seven's metallic eyepiece. She didn't want to see herself. She wanted to really know how she looked to the drone.

"You're exquisite Kathryn." Seven said with total sincerity seeping into her voice.

Kathryn didn't understand how the drone could convey such passion in the mere tone of her voice. But Seven did. And Kathryn found herself overcome with a pure and honest need.

"I want you." Kathryn whispered lifting one hand to tenderly cup Seven's face.

She stared at Seven wondering what the drone would now do. There was so much left unsaid between them. The human could easily see Seven's hesitation and could only guess at the source.

There was still a lot that Seven hadn't explained to her. There was much about Seven's altered biology that Kathryn didn't understand. But she wanted to. Kathryn wanted to learn everything there was to know about making love to the drone.

Seven lowered herself firmly onto Kathryn's body. The human gasped when the silky bio-suit made contact with her naked flesh. The sensation was intoxicating. And Kathryn immediately opened herself up for more.

Kathryn wrapped her hands in the blonde tresses of Seven's hair. She wet her lips anticipating a kiss. And shamelessly, she even draped a naked thigh around the firm slender width of Seven's waist.

But Seven never met her lips for a kiss. The drone only lowered her mouth to Kathryn's waiting breasts. Seven licked her waiting nipple giving it a quick hard flick with her tongue. Kathryn immediately cried out in gasp of delight at the pleasant but unexpected sensation.

From there, the pleasure only seemed to spiral to new depths of boundless need. The drone licked and kissed every inch of Kathryn's breast while she massaged the other with her warm human hand. The joint sensations were literally driving the woman insane with pulsing need.

Quickly, she realized that her hips had practically smeared themselves to the drone's body. But the final break came when Seven lowered her mouth fully onto Kathryn's breast. The woman cried out in utter satisfaction when Seven suckled her breast with nothing short of raw enthusiasm.

"You enjoy this?" Seven asked wanting to make sure that she was pleasing the woman in her arms.

Kathryn looked down at the drone with a complete look of confusion. The drone should have been able to tell from her rather loud screams and moans that she was certainly enjoying herself. But Seven's eye was wide open and blinking with a sweetly unsure innocence.

The former Captain still didn't know if Seven had even attempted copulation. But even if she had, she knew that the drone's experience would be extremely limited. Seven, in her own Borg way, was trying to make sure that she was experiencing pleasure. And Kathryn could never fault her for being thorough.

"Yes, Seven. I'm completely enjoying this." Kathryn answered wondering if she should let Seven continue.

Her lover was young and naﶥ. And in some way, Kathryn felt that it was her duty to show Seven all the different ways they could make love. She certainly knew her own body. And would be more then happy to show Seven all the different ways to please her.

But before she could even open her mouth, Seven had moved onto her other breast. Every place that Seven touched her body, her skin literally seared with passion. Kathryn didn't know how she would ever even continue to breath.

"I want to do something. But you have to promise me one thing. If you experience any painful shocks we must stop immediately. You must promise that you will tell me." Seven said like she was warning a wayward child.

Kathryn agreed instantly to the stipulation. She wouldn't put her life at risk, not in the mere pursuit of pleasure. But as Seven kissed her way down her body, Kathryn began to wonder if she had agreed to quickly. Because as Seven gently parted her legs, Kathryn knew that at the first touch of the drone's mouth she would never be able to stop.

Part 04

The touch was impossibly gentle. It exuded no more pressure then the softest of whispers. But it was enough to send her body crying out in need.

Seven was a bit perplexed by her former Captain's actions. She hadn't even touched the woman yet. And she stopped her movements, wondering if the human was indeed all right.

After all, she had only moved her longer body down to the very end of the bed. Carefully, she had opened Kathryn's legs trying not to startle with woman with her strength. Trying her best to be gentle she lifted the woman's legs placing the naked limbs onto her shoulders.

Kathryn didn't seem to mind the position and for that Seven was grateful. She knew that often women could be shy or modest about receiving this type of oral pleasure. And she was terribly relieved to see that her former Captain was neither.

She had only just begun to please the woman when the human had violently reacted. Her screams and pants had just begun after Seven had gently bared the opening of her moist flesh. The drone had knelt close to the moist heat simply inhaling the scent of a woman that she had spent so many years secretly longing for.

And that's when Kathryn seemed to loose her very mind. And Seven was unable and unwilling to guess at the woman's responses. The drone wanted nothing more then to believe that the woman was calling out in pleasure.

But the very real prospect of pain wasn't far from her mind. Seven knew that it was too early to be doing this. And yet she couldn't seem to stop, despite the pressing danger.

"Kathryn? Are you unwell?" Seven asked trying to capture the attention of the woman writhing about in her arms.

The woman rolled her head to the side letting her eyes fill with a hungry need. Seven had never seen her Captain look at her quite like that. Her eyes were naked and blazing. And Seven certainly didn't need to hear the woman's voice to know that she should continue.

Looking back down at the task at hand, Seven couldn't help but feel a bit honored. She knew that it had been a long time since Kathryn had been with anyone in this manner. And when Seven thought of those few relationships that she knew of, she surged with unwelcome jealousy.

She hated to think of Kathryn lying in anyone's arms but her own. She wanted the woman all to herself. She wanted to make the woman her own.

And as she tenderly licked one long wet stroke all around the very perimeter of the woman's boiling liquid flesh, she couldn't help but rage in impatience. Even sharing the woman in this manner was risking a lot, for both of them. She couldn't have the woman, not the way that she really wanted. And the thought was forcing the drone into a slow fume.

She wanted to burrow into the woman. She desperately wanted to sink right into the liquid folds of the woman that she loved. And she craved the day that her cold steel could feel the very inside of Kathryn Janeway.

But she would have to wait. Even this was nothing short of a forbidden temptation between them. And yet she couldn't stop. She wanted to taste Kathryn. She wanted nothing more then to hear her scream.

"Seven, please?" Kathryn begged trying to stifle her cries with a waiting pillow.

The anxiety, the foreplay, the long years of solitude, her dire need for Seven?all of it was too much. It was coming crashing down around her like some sort of erotic tidal wave.

Her stomach was buckling. Her skin was blazing. And every single nerve ending in her body was solely focused on each single flick of Seven's tongue.

The drone knew that her slow curious licks were driving the woman insane with need. Kathryn wanted her to hurry. She wanted Seven to finish what had been started so torturously long ago.

But Seven couldn't do that, not quite yet anyway. She was enjoying the strangled pants of the woman's breath. And she loved hearing her name whispered again and again. On the woman's lips it sounded like nothing short of heaven itself.

She was having a hard time keeping the woman's body anchored against her mouth. Kathryn's struggles were growing more intense by the moment. But in this one instance, Seven didn't mind the human's fighting.

Kathryn wasn't fighting her. She wasn't even trying to get away. For once, Kathryn was trying her very best to bring them closer together. She was struggling for pleasure. And finally, Seven saw fit to give into her raging need.

Swiftly, she latched onto the woman's swollen nub sucking it for long passion filled minutes. Immediately, she felt Kathryn's body quiet. It was like the woman was suddenly frozen in time.

"Oh god?Seven?" Kathryn panted unsure as to what exactly was happening to her.

In her life, she had experienced many orgasms. But nothing could prepare her for what was about to overtake her body. Even with her age and years of wisdom, she didn't even understand what was happening to her.

She had been incensed with need. Her body had been literally boiling for Seven's touch. But when it finally came, everything just stopped.

Her heart seemed to slow. The painful tension in her stomach seemed to unwind and relax. Even the hot liquid flesh of the very center of her body seemed to grow frigid in the drone's talented mouth.

And for a time, her mind filled with confusion and worry. Seven had said that something dreadful might happen. Seven had said that she had to be careful.

But there wasn't any pain. There wasn't any pleasure. There was nothing.

Then it happened. It was like lightning striking from the inside out. The muscles in her legs coiled and tensed. Her abdomen shook with a virulent need. Her heart thumped loudly and wildly in her chest. And before she knew it, she was screaming in pleasure?and pain.

She couldn't really describe how she felt. It was like some sort of overwhelming pleasure that could never be encapsulated by words alone. But she did know that her body was tired and finally spent. And thanks to Seven, for the first time in many long cold lonely years she was finally satisfied.
