Part 05

She felt deliriously happy for the very first time. She had truly never known such joy or love. But she supposed that after all these years, she finally knew what all those fairytale were really about. Everything was so different, so new and so insanely passionate because she was finally with Seven.

Kisses were no longer simple displays of muted affection. They were long wet embraces of white hot need and quaking passion. There was nothing simple about anything.

And for once, Kathryn didn't mind the strange complex world of the Borg Collective. Because the Hive had given her Seven of Nine. And she would never want to remove Seven from her world. Not now that she finally understood what it was like to actually need someone.

"Are you functioning properly?" Seven asked gently cupping Kathryn's face in her warm human hand.

"Oh, yes Seven. That was?wonderful." Kathryn managed to whisper.

She felt ridiculous trying to put such tender acts into words. The passion had literally been blinding. But she knew that Seven needed to know that she was okay and that nothing unforeseen had happened to her.

She looked up at the drone feeling all those wonderful notions that someone in love tends to harbor. She kept thinking that even on Voyager, she had simply never seen Seven so beautiful. And she desperately wanted to show Seven how much their passionate exchange meant to her. She wanted the drone to know that she too felt strong physical passion. But more then anything, she wanted to make love to Seven in a way that no one else ever could.

But as much as her mind and body truly craved the touch of Seven' naked skin, her exhaustion eventually prevailed. It had been far too long since she had felt such a stirring. And now that the wave had passed, she literally felt spent.

As much as she wanted to, she couldn't seem to even lift her arms. The human's entire body felt heavy and uncooperative. And as she finally lowered her eyes, Kathryn realized that sleep might just be the next best thing in the world.

The drone watched her succumb to exhaustion. And truthfully, Seven couldn't be more pleased with herself. She loved to be thorough and accomplished at any task that she undertook. And loving the beautiful human had simply been no different.

Kathryn had made her feel complex and strange emotions. The drone realized that there was much residual data left over that she had yet to analyze. There were many intriguing nuances to the human's behavior that would simply require more study.

To begin with, there were the human's unusual vocal patterns. Kathryn would often beg and plead with her for some unforeseen act. Seven was beginning to wonder if she shouldn't have asked the normally articulate woman to clarify her need for pleasure.

And then there was the strange incessant movement of Kathryn's body. It was quite clear to Seven that the woman had been craving her mouth upon the very heat of her moist female flesh. But she often had a difficult time performing the small nuances of the act when Kathryn continued to thrash in her arms. On several occasions, the drone had even found herself thinking that it might prove useful to restrain the woman. It would simply be easier for her to focus on the task at hand.

But then the most perplexing concept had to be the strange feelings that were now overcoming her. Seven had never experienced such an emotionally violent response. She found herself wanting to wake Kathryn and rouse her with more long wet kisses. She wanted nothing more then to warm the steel of her body in the wet depths of the woman's humid flesh.

And she found this train of thought not only illogical but dangerous as well. She couldn't really touch Kathryn, not the way that she wanted. She would be putting the human's very life in danger.

Besides, it was quite apparent that their earlier activities had exhausted the human. It would be prudent to allow Kathryn to sleep and refresh her body. But for some reason, Seven seemed unwilling to allow the human her rest.

And then there was the pressing matter of her own need. Her body was tight and wet in all the places that signified a deep pressing need for release. Even her implants had begun to charge with a low throbbing hum in lurid anticipation of a union that simply couldn't be.

She knew that perhaps the best course of action would be to leave the human alone. Seven knew that a long cold shower and several hours of regeneration would help but her body back into a more relaxed state. But she found herself strangely appalled at the thought of leaving Kathryn's side.

She found herself desperately wanting to hold Kathryn. She wanted to pull the naked woman against her taller form and rock her gently while she slept. She was suddenly overcome with a need to protect Kathryn and stay by her side.

The feeling was completely illogical. Kathryn did not need protection. They were perfectly safe lying together in their own home. But still, Seven had a hard time pressing down such an irrational impulse.

Still, the drone knew that it was time for her leave the woman's side. If she remained for even a moment longer, Seven just couldn't be certain of her actions. And she flatly refused to put Kathryn's life in jeopardy, regardless of her boiling need.

With a soft kiss to the human's cheek she pulled the bedding up around the sleeping woman. She knew the gesture was futile. The bed would automatically compensate for the best possible temperature. But Seven couldn't seem to stop the need to make sure that the human was safe and warm.

Quietly, the drone slipped into the bathroom shutting herself away from the woman that she not only loved but also craved. Seven was more then a little surprised when she couldn't stop the loud audible moan from escaping her lips. And when she looked into the long lighted mirror, she couldn't believe the altered state of her own appearance.

Her lips were large and swollen. Her eyes were wild and dilated. Her very skin was flushed and warm to the touch. And as she decided to remove the tight bio-suit from the skin of body, she couldn't help but wince at the contact of her very own hands. Her breasts were sore and aching as she moved the suit down over her skin. And as she finally stripped it completely off of her skin, she was overcome by the trembling flesh between her thighs.

For the briefest of seconds, Seven was actually worried that her body was malfunctioning. But after a quick diagnostic query she learned that all systems were indeed functioning properly. The only difference was Kathryn. And the woman had reduced her strong steel form to nothing more then a large bundle of quivering nerves and pulsing need.

As she adjusted the shower temperature to a cool relaxing stream she couldn't help but wonder what would happen later. Tonight, had been nothing more then a quick display of ardent need. But later, when her body had adapted to Kathryn's they would finally be together in every single possible way. And when Seven thought of her naked flesh colliding with the humans in a careless abandon of passion, the drone couldn't help but wonder if she could even survive the contact.

Part 06

Kathryn woke up disoriented and thoroughly disappointed. She had hoped to find herself safely tucked against the strong body of her lover. But Seven was nowhere to be seen. And the woman couldn't help but feel a bit slighted.

Of course, she had fallen asleep at quite possibly one of the most inopportune moments. Perhaps, Seven was disappointed as well. But Kathryn couldn't help but feel that she wasn't to blame for her momentary lapse into a deepslumber.

As far as she was concerned, Seven was the responsible party. The drone had thoroughly and completely exhausted her. And if she had only stayed around for a little while, Kathryn would have been more then happy to make it up to her.

But a distant noise caught the woman's attention and Kathryn couldn't help but perk up in curiosity. Seven was in the shower. The woman began to wonder if maybe the drone needed a chance to cool off after their rather heated exchange. And for some reason the very thought of a passionate Seven overcome with need had her practically leaping out of bed.

Kathryn didn't see how there could be any harm in wandering in to check on the drone. Yet, as soon as she stood up the woman realized that her body was still completely naked. Deciding that some mild sense of modesty was in order, Kathryn lifted her soft white silky robe up over shoulders.

Quietly she crept into the bathroom aware that with her enhanced senses, Seven had probably already heard every single move she made. But when she took the few necessary steps to actually see the shower, the sight presented made her heart literally stop. She had never seen Seven like that. She had simply never imagined how beautiful Seven really was.

There standing underneath a hot stream of water was the tall blonde drone. She had her backed turned to Kathryn. But this one time, Kathryn didn't mind being temporarily ignored.

Despite the angle, the woman was still seeing all that her aroused senses could handle. Seven's blonde hair was loose and matted down to the very back of her neck and shoulders. She seemed troubled as she stood there leaning against the tile wall. Her human arm was tightly braced overhead.

It was almost like Seven was worried about falling. Kathryn could practically see the tension lining every single inch of the Borg's skin. And almost instantly, she realized that it was her body that was causing the strong drone's form to practically buckle.

Kathryn let her eyes travel down to Seven's body. The drone's back was one long creamy expanse of silken skin and Borg technology. Everything on her looked so human. But Kathryn knew better then to be so easily fooled.

There in the very crease of her spine was a long shiny stripe of metal over flesh. It didn't look harsh or even out of place. On Seven, it looked simply breathtaking.

Her legs were even longer then Kathryn had ever imagined. They seemed to travel on for a liquid eternity. And there on the sides of each perfect thigh, were the familiar silver stripe that she had come to expect from Seven's body.

The drone was the perfect fusion of human sexuality and Borg strength. Every part of her body glimmered with the cold steel and naked appeal. And as Kathryn took in the rounded forms and thick womanly flesh of Seven's form she was literally overcome.

She had never known that anyone could look so perfect. She had never imagined what she had been missing out on all those long lonely years. And at the moment, all she could think about was making up for lost time.

"What are you doing in here?" Seven snapped letting her voice come out a lot harsher then she had intended.

She had left Kathryn alone so that the human might sleep. She needed the peace and tranquility of a lengthy shower. She was trying to desperately reign in her intense pressing needs. But having the very woman that she desired brazenly walk into her shower like she owned every inch of her naked body wasn't doing a lot to calm Seven's flaring desires.

"I didn't know where you were? I heard the shower." Kathryn commented realizing that her voice was sounding terribly low and husky.

She was completely disappointed when Seven reached for a towel covering her naked body from her wandering eyes. It wasn't fair. Kathryn wanted to see all of the drone; she wanted to run her eyes over every single piece of flesh.

"I apologize for waking you. That wasn't my intention." Seven answered shutting off the water and stepping out onto the cold tile floor.

She clutched the towel to her body aware of the human's intense gaze. She knew that her body would be a source of problems between them. Even though Kathryn had been trying very hard, Seven knew that the woman still had trouble accepting the touch of her mechanical appendage.

But Seven also knew that there were many other steely implants on her body that the human had yet to see. Quickly, she tried to recall the angle of her position when Kathryn had entered the room. She desperately hoped that the woman hadn't seen her completely naked. That just wasn't something that the drone was ready for.

She knew that Kathryn would have questions about all the metal stripes and mesh coverings that adorn her flesh. And she hated to feel studied. Yet, here she was wondering if Kathryn's analytical nature had already won out. The human was certainly giving her curious enough stares.

"It is late. We should return to bed." Seven said trying to break the icy silence that had settled between them.

She took a few tentative steps towards the human wondering if Kathryn would agree to let her pass. There was no reason why the woman shouldn't. It just seemed that at the moment, Kathryn wasn't quite herself.

"Seven?" Kathryn asked in low throaty whisper.

The drone stopped her movements concerned by the strange tone in the woman's voice. Kathryn walked closer to her body. She didn't stop until there forms were pressed intimately together. The position was highly erotic and Seven knew that she had to make it stop. She couldn't desire Kathryn this way, it was just too soon.

"Kathryn, we must stop this?" Seven answered finding it hard to resist the warmth as the woman tried to move closer to the naked skin of her body.

"Kathryn, you must stop. I do not wish to make you wet." Seven rambled, aware that her body was dripping water all over the bathroom floor.

"It's a bit late for that Seven." Kathryn answered, laughing gently at Seven's innocent misspeak.

The human didn't give up so easily. She practically chased Seven into the corner of the bathroom. Confident that she finally had the drone's undivided attention, she slowly began to loosen the quick knots on her robe.

"Kathryn, you cannot do that. It is time for us to sleep." Seven said aware that her voice sounded strangled and desperate.

But the human didn't stop. She just pressed her body closer and closer until she could feel every single inch of the drone's body. And after all this time, Seven seemed helpless to stop the woman.

She wanted to tell Kathryn to leave. She wanted to physically push the woman away thinking only of Kathryn's well being. But she simply couldn't do a thing.

Because for years her only thought was of making love to Kathryn Janeway. And now that the woman finally felt the same passionate stirring that she had felt for years, Seven simply couldn't turn her away. She needed Kathryn. And despite all of her strength, she couldn't seem to stop Kathryn from taking what she so desperately wanted.

Part 07

"Kathryn, this is ill-advised." Seven murmured unable to stop the woman from collapsing her naked form into her arms.

She had the strength to push the woman away. But the drone couldn't seem to make her body cooperate. All she wanted was to let Kathryn make love to her. And as the woman pressed her naked flesh into her arms, Seven began to realize that any resistance would almost certainly prove futile.

"Seven, come on?" Kathryn whispered gently pulling the drone back into the bedroom.

The woman didn't even seem to mind the nudity of her own body. She walked carelessly, without shame or modesty letting the drone study every single inch of her naked flesh. Seven, however felt no such comfort in her own skin. She clutched the towel to her body with a frightened grip that spoke volumes.

Once they reached the bedroom, Seven tried once again to stop this from happening. But she couldn't. She just couldn't seem to fend off Kathryn's gentle hands as they guided her to the bed.

Tentatively, Seven lay back on the mattress wondering what it was exactly that Kathryn had in mind. But for the longest of moment, the human only stared down at her. And then, she gently bent down and captured Seven's lips in her own.

The kiss was long and wet. They enjoyed diving into the very lengths of each other's mouths. Seven wanted to feel the woman. She wanted to let the woman sample every single wet center of her body. But all too quickly, she felt the electric charge of her implants begin to surge. And desperate to keep the woman safe from injury, Seven gently pushed Kathryn away.

"You can't?not on the mouth." Seven gently warned the human. She certainly didn't want Kathryn to become injured but that's exactly what could happen if she let the kiss continue.

The human seemed to understand the gravity of the drone's suggestion and she pulled away to run a careful fingertip across the lines and curves of Seven's body. She started with a gentle caress of Seven's face. And with a great deal of concentration, she ran her finger across the flushed surface of the drone's lips.

And in some way, Kathryn felt like she was torturing herself. She wanted to be inside of Seven's wet mouth. She wanted to kiss her. She wanted to explore her thoroughly, but she just couldn't. And for now, the human realized that she would have to respect Seven's wishes.

Instead, she traveled a careful hand down the long soft expanse of the drone's creamy neck. There was tension radiating from every single pore on Seven's body. Her shoulders were like tight steel balls of anxiety. And her very knuckles had turned white as they clutched the towel to her body.

"Seven, please relax. I'm not going to hurt you." Kathryn whispered wondering where it was that Seven's worry was stemming from.

"That is not why I am concerned. I however, could easily hurt you." Seven said letting her voice come out in a tight burst of anxious tension.

The woman drew back to study the drone. She could tell that Seven was never going to enjoy herself if she was concerned about hurting her. And Kathryn had to admit that she was more then impressed with the drone's level of self-control.

But thinking back over all the brief information that Seven had given her for one reason or another, she began to wonder if there was one way that they could be together. It seemed obvious enough, but for some reason Seven hadn't bothered to mention it. Although Kathryn realized that she shouldn't be surprised. As far as she knew, Seven had very little experience when it came to matters of sexual love.

"What about this Seven? Is this okay?" Kathryn asked, once again moving her body fully onto the drone's.

Seven was surprised at first by the touch of the woman's naked flesh. Having her former Captain holding her body down to the mattress was certainly nothing short of divine pleasure. But the drone's body suddenly reared in excitement when she felt Kathryn slide one naked thigh between her legs.

"Is it okay for us to touch like this Seven?" Kathryn asked rubbing the firm length of her thigh up and down against Seven's wet center.

For the longest time, Seven couldn't even answer. Her mind was only focused on the delicious sensation stirring between her legs. Kathryn was giving her what she had always wanted. And her body was literally coiling in naked anticipation.

"Seven?" Kathryn asked again wondering what the drone's silence meant. She really didn't know if she should continue or stop. She certainly didn't want to do anything that Seven didn't want.

Finally, the drone was able to rouse herself from a rather foggy passionate state. She checked in with her body's diagnostics reading the electrical output levels on all of her implants. They were all still within a safe range.

And this level of contact wouldn't put Kathryn in the direct path of harm. As long as she monitored her systems, Seven felt reasonably certain that they could proceed. And more then anything else in the entire galaxy, that was exactly what Seven wanted.

"This is?acceptable." The drone barely managed to gasp out. Kathryn was surprised to see this passionate turn wear the normally collected drone down to a quivering mass of need.

"Can we move this Seven? I want to feel you." Kathryn whispered gently nuzzling into the cool expanse of Seven's chest.

Seven felt a bit frightened when the woman began to gently pry her knuckles away from the top of her towel. She didn't want to let go of the last remaining shield between her ugly Borg implants and the woman's discerning eyes. She wanted to enjoy the soft and firm stimulation of Kathryn's leg between her own. She didn't want the woman to pull away in abject horror.

"Please Seven? I want to see you." Kathryn whispered trying to gently coax the drone into letting her remove the towel.

And with a slightly strangled sob, the drone released her clutch on the towel. Kathryn gently peeled it back from her body. And in that one instance, the human's very breath caught in her throat.

Seven was a perfect synthesis of raw Borg strength and gentle human beauty. Kathryn didn't mind that her naked body no longer had the smooth unmarked skin of a human. As far as she was concerned, Seven's body was sexual poetry even with it's Borg webbing and long abdominal implant.

And she could tell that her opinion was very important Seven. The drone was apparently very frightened to discover what she would think. Kathryn noticed that she had even stopped rubbing against the length of her thigh.

"Seven, you're beautiful." Kathryn whispered allowing the length of her body to finally rest against the drone's.

Instantly, Seven seemed to take the comment to heart. Within seconds her body tensed and coiled as she firmly rubbed her throbbing need against Kathryn's center. And then without warning or prelude, Seven slid into a warm abyss of climaxed pleasure.

Part 08

"That was?pleasurable." Seven said finding mere words inadequate to describe the passion that she had just shared.

Kathryn softly laughed in that low throaty tone that had always drove Seven insane with need. Carefully, she leaned down to kiss the drone on the cheek. And Seven stared back at her with wide adoring eyes.

"I'm glad." Kathryn whispered suddenly wishing that she could kiss the drone on the mouth.

But knowing that such an action was never to be, she settled for a bit of snuggling. Carefully, she lowered herself onto Seven's body resting her head against the firm expanse of the drone's shoulder. She strategically chose to lie next to Seven's mechanical implant.

She wanted the drone to know that she accepted her. She wanted Seven to know that she wasn't scared. But more then that, she wanted Seven to know that she desired her.

Gently, she trailed her fingertips up and down the length of the steel appendage. It was cool at first but she found that after several minutes it had warmed to a pleasant degree. It was constructed of a strangely morphic material.

Sometimes it felt hard under her wandering hand. But at other times, it felt so soft and supple Kathryn could swear that it was nothing more then liquid pooling beneath her fingers.

"Can you feel this?" Kathryn asked propping herself to stare into the drone's face.

She noticed that Seven had her eyes tightly shut and her lips had seductively parted. Her skin was beginning to flush and her breasts were shaking in deep long pants. It was quite clear that the drone was responding to her curious touch.

"Yes?" Seven hissed out moving the appendage slightly.

It was clear that Seven wanted her to continue. And Kathryn was more then willing to pleasure the drone. But as the steel appendage began emitting a low electrical hum, she felt her scientific curiosity begin to surface.

"What does it feel like?" Kathryn asked trying to understand the sensations that were passing through the drone's body.

"It is difficult to explain. It can be a highly sensitive erogenous zone." Seven managed to gasp out.

The former Captain became lost in her musings as she studied the implant more closely. The electrical current was becoming stronger now. In fact, she was beginning to see the faint outline of blue heat lightning circling the steel arm.

"That is enough." Seven suddenly gasped out pushing the woman away from her accumulating voltage.

"Sorry?" Kathryn muttered moving to the other side of the bed.

Carefully, she arranged herself against Seven's more human side and tried to settle in for the night. Despite the still rather pressing needs of her own body, she knew that there would be no more contact between them. It was clear that they had pushed too far for one night.

She tried to force the rather troublesome thoughts of waiting far from her mind. She hated waited years to have Seven. What were a few more days?

But as the drone gently pulled her down more firmly onto her frame, she felt her body instantly quicken in response. Before, everything had been different. She could ignore her own desire for the drone but not now. It was too much to have to sleep naked in the strong circle of Seven's arms. She just didn't know how much more of this she could possibly take.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kathryn sat rather stiffly on the wide rocking porch swing. She hadn't wanted to come. But Seven had insisted. And this little outing seemed to mean so much to the drone Kathryn found herself unable to disagree.

And the night hadn't been as weird or strange as she had expected. Dreyka and her spouse had treated them a delicious meal. And the conversation had been pleasant enough. Apparently Seven and Twelve worked together.

But Kathryn couldn't seem to shake the feeling that here, she was horribly out of place. They were all deeply immersed in discussing the nuances of the newest piece of Borg technology when she had quietly slipped from the room. She wanted to watch the sunset. And Dreyka's home had such a lovely view.

"Hey, are you okay?" Dreyka's voice softly called to her from the home's entrance.

Kathryn turned to stare at the human briefly thinking of all her earlier moments of behavioral anger. She couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed by all the tirades and tantrums she had gone through. In light of everything that had happened, it all seemed so ridiculous now.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted some air." Kathryn answered feeling a bit out of her element.

She did appreciate all that Dreyka had tried to do for her. And she was slowly coming to accept the fact that these people were now her friends. But sometimes, it was all too much. And despite everything that had happened with Seven, she still wasn't ready to sing the praises of the Collective.

"Either I'm losing it or you and Seven seem to actually be getting along." Dreyka said a bit slyly.

Carefully, she took a seat next to Kathryn and stared into the woman's eyes. There was something dancing in the woman's pupils that hadn't been there before. She almost seemed happy and perhaps even a bit giddy.

"Kathryn Janeway, why if I didn't know better I would think that you and Seven allowed your relationship to progress to a more?intimate level." Dreyka said trying to carefully choose her words.

She was innately familiar with Kathryn's temper and had no wish for another demonstration. She didn't want to say the wrong thing that might set the woman off. Instead, she tried to choose her wording cautiously in hopes of truly befriending the woman.

"Well, you could say that. We certainly progressed to some place." Kathryn answered feeling like a teenager again.

"Wow, I didn't think that you two could even physically do that yet. I didn't think that Seven had adapted." Dreyka mused watching the final rays of sunlight drop beneath the horizon.

"Actually, that's what I wanted to ask you about. We couldn't?well not really anyways. And I was wondering if you could explain some things to me." Kathryn said a bit tentatively.

"Sure, like what?" Dreyka asked wondering what it was that suddenly had the woman flushing a bright shade of red.

"I'm not sure that I understand all the differences between us now. I mean Seven's body is?altered. I'm not sure that I know what to do." Kathryn said feeling a bit ridiculous for having to ask the girl.

But Dreyka only gave her a knowing smile apparently content to answer whatever questions the woman might harbor. Carefully, she took Kathryn hand in her own and lowered her voice to a husky whisper. And then, she began telling the woman all the many different ways that she could make love to Seven of Nine.
