Kiidep'Tyya Part 02

Raeli looked a little pale as she entered Sickbay. "Captain, I'm sorry, but I don't know what could be wrong with Annika."

Janeway's eyebrows shot up. "Annika?"

Raeli blushed. "After we… bonded, she allowed me to call her by her given name."

The man beside Raeli cleared his throat. "Oh!" Raeli exclaimed. "I apologize. Captain, this is Primary Healer Peta. Peta, this is Captain Janeway."

"An honor, Captain."

"The honor is mine, Healer. Do you know what is wrong with Seven?"

Peta looked over at the young woman. "I have an idea. I must conduct a few simple tests to see if my theory is correct, however."

"Of course." Janeway deactivated the forcefield for the moment it took for Peta to pass through, then reactivated it.

Peta ran a scanner over Seven, then took a small sample of her blood, inserting it into a tester and scanning that as well. "As I suspected," Peta said as Janeway let him through the forcefield again.

"What is it, Healer?" Raeli asked, concern in her voice.

Peta looked down at the young woman sympathetically. "She has Yelii."

"Yelii?" the Doctor asked. "What is it? Is it treatable? Is it fatal?"

"Not treatable or fatal, Doctor, rest assured," Peta said. "It has to do with the Kiidep, the mating drive of my people. When Raeli and Seven mated, the Kiidep was passed on. Unfortunately, in our earlier tests, we seem to have missed a key factor in the human system that prevents the Kiidep from being fully integrated into the system."

"What does that mean, exactly, for Seven, Healer?" Janeway asked.

"Before I answer your question, Captain, I must ask you something."

"All right."

"Who was Seven with when the Kiidep overcame her?"

"You mean who did she attack?"

Peta and Raeli both flinched. "Yes."

"Me."

Peta blinked. "Was there anyone else around?"

"No."

Peta looked at Raeli, saying something in their native language that the universal translator couldn't translate. Raeli groaned and hung her head.

"What is it, Healer?"

Peta looked Janeway straight in the eye. "Captain, you must mate with Seven."

"What?!" Janeway nearly choked, as did the Doctor.

Peta held up his hand. "Let me explain, first, Captain. After the test I just ran of Seven, it has become apparent that she only experiences the Kiidep for her Kiidep'Leii. Her Bloodfire Mate. In your terms, I believe it is soulmate. She obviously experienced the Kiidep with you, with makes you her Kiidep'Leii. The only way to keep Seven from attempting to mate with you again when the Kiidep gets too strong, is to bond with her. If you don't, you will never be able to spend time alone with her without the Kiidep getting too strong, and the longer you go without bonding, the stronger the Kiidep will get. Soon you will not be able to be around her at all, even with other people around, lest she attempt to mate."

After a few tries, Janeway finally managed to pick her jaw up off the floor. "So you're saying that to keep Seven a functioning member of my crew, I have to have sex with her?"

"No."

Janeway blinked. "Come again?"

"You must mate with her. Bond with her. Sex has little to do with it. It is mainly the exchanging of blood. There is also an empathic connection that is formed. You will be given the Kiidep, although only for Seven. The two of you will be able to control it when among others, however it will quickly overcome you while alone."

Eyes narrowed, Janeway regarded Peta. "Would I grow fangs, too?"

Peta grinned. "Only while in the Kiidep. It is for the exchange of blood. When Seven would first bite you, her saliva would mix with your blood, giving you the Kiidep. You would experience the Ryii, the Change, and you would 'grow fangs' as well. You would bite Seven, and as you each taste the other's blood, the Bond begins to form."

"And why hasn't this bond formed with Seven and Mistress Raeli?" Janeway asked, glancing at Raeli as she said this.

Raeli stepped forward slightly. "I am not Seven's Kiidep'Leii. Seven and I were physically compatible, which is why I felt the Kiidep for her, but you and Seven are meant for each other. Your physiology, biology, psychology are all compatible. But more than that, your souls are compatible. And you are in love. That is why Seven felt the Kiidep fro you so soon after mating with me. Because she loves you, and somewhere she feels that you love her as well."

"And does this have any unpleasant physical effects?" the Doctor broke in, feeling somewhat left out of the conversation.

Peta shook his head. "None. The only difference is the teeth. There is, of course, some blood loss each time you would mate, but it is not significant." Peta looked thoughtful. "Unless you go Kaeli."

Raeli laughed at the mention of her older sister. "He means, unless you mate for six hours straight. My sister did that and ended up at the Central Medical Center for blood replication."

"Is there a way I could talk with Seven without her experiencing the Kiidep?"

Peta thought for a moment. "There is a treatment that stalls the Kiidep. If you want to speak with her, you must get right to the point, as the longer you speak, the less time you have before the Kiidep begins."

Janeway nodded. "I understand."

Peta went back to Seven's side, pressing a hypospray to her neck, then another to wake her up.

Seven moaned softly, her eyes fluttering open.

Janeway moved to Seven's side, helping her sit up.

"Captain?"

Quickly explaining the situation, Janeway asked, "So what do you want to do, Seven?"

Seven blushed. Despite her embarrassment, however, she answered honestly. "I want to bond with you, Captain. I believe I love you."

Janeway smiled. "I love you, too, Seven." Janeway turned to Peta. "Is there anything else we should know?"

Peta smiled, his eyes sparkling. "All you need is privacy, Captain." He turned to Raeli. "We are done here, Mistress?"

Raeli nodded. "Yes." She looked at Seven. "I am glad you have found your Kiidep'Leii, Annika."

Seven smiled. "Thank you, Raeli."

Raeli dipped her head, then led Peta out of Sickbay to transport back to Teniib.

"Well, Captain, since it seems that your Chief Medical Officer has no say in the physical well-being of the crew, I should probably leave now," the Doctor grumped, heading for his office.

"Doctor."

The Doctor halted his progress and turned. "Captain?"

"You heard with Healer Peta said. What else would you have me do?"

"Certainly not sexually bond with a crew member simply to make their existence a little easier."

Janeway glared at the hologram hard, thinking that it was too bad he couldn't wet his pants, as that particular glare was known to make people do. "Doctor," she growled. Seven shivered on the biobed as the heard the tone, feeling the Kiidep start to take hold. "In case you didn't hear me when I told Seven. I love her. This is not just me doing something to make a crew member's life better. I am doing this because I want to."

"Yes, Captain," the Doctor muttered.

"Kathryn," Seven called, her voice low.

Janeway turned, seeing Seven standing by the biobed, slowly making her way toward her. Her normally ice blue eyes had darkened, her parted lips showed lengthened incisors again.

"Computer, two to transport to the Captain's quarters," Janeway called as Seven reached her. "Energize!" The two dissolved in a shower of blue sparkles, only to rematerialize beside Janeway's couch.

"Kathryn," Seven whispered, seizing Kathryn's lips in a lusty kiss.

Kathryn moaned, picking up on Seven's passion and need immediately, taking it as her own. The kiss broke, and Seven trailed hot open-mouthed kisses down Kathryn's neck.

"Kathryn… I need to taste you… Let me show you what I feel…"

"Oh, yes," Kathryn whimpered, holding on tightly to Seven's shoulders.

With permission given, Seven opened her mouth wide, pressing her lengthened teeth into the flesh of Kathryn's neck, careful to bite where her uniform would hide it. As her teeth broke the skin and she tasted the blood of the first time, Seven's legs gave out, and she sank to the floor, Kathryn firmly in her grasp.

Kathryn gasped at the momentary pain, the cried out at the feel of the fire spreading quickly through her veins. "Oh, Seven, yes," she called out, throwing her head back as Seven drank of her.

Seven finally raised her head, swiping her tongue once more across the wound, watching the bleeding slow, then stop.

As she slowly brought her head forward, Kathryn felt her teeth lengthen, and, looking at Seven's neck, had an immediately urge to taste her, the skin and the blood pulsing through the veins underneath. She leaned forward, all her being focused on Seven's neck, and she ran her tongue over the smooth skin, tasting her, and finding just the right spot to bite.

In a mirror of the mark Seven made, Kathryn bit at the smooth neck, breaking the skin carefully. She moaned deeply at the taste of Seven's blood, thinking that there could be no stronger aphrodisiac in the entire universe.

As she pulled back, Kathryn gasped, "Bed," in a strangled voice.

"No," Seven growled. "Here." She buried her face in Kathryn's neck again, licking and sucking on the soft skin, causing the body against her to start trembling. "Now," Seven whispered, ripping at Kathryn's uniform shirts, leaving them hanging from her shoulders in tattered shreds, exposing the flushed skin beneath.

Kathryn arched her back as Seven pressed her down into the floor, pawing at the biosuit that hid the perfect body from her. Frustration mounting, and getting no help from the distracted younger woman, Kathryn finally used her teeth to rip the fabric, pulling it away from Seven's body. Kathryn gasped as she saw Seven fully nude for the first time. Her passion flared again, and just as Seven's mouth reached her breasts, Kathryn grabbed the clasp of her uniform pants, breaking it as she ripped it open and shoved the offending garment away.

Seven pulled back from Kathryn for a moment to run her eyes over the nude form, then she fell back upon her, grasping one nipple between her teeth, biting none-too-gently, sucking hard and licking firmly.

"Oh God, Seven!" Kathryn nearly screamed, bringing her hands up to hold the other woman in place against her, rocking her hips against Seven's. Seven responded by slipping a thigh between Kathryn's, pressing it up against the wet heat at their apex.

Seven lifted her head for a moment, meeting her lover's gaze. "Touch me, Kathryn," she rasped. "I need you to touch me!"

Kathryn rolled them over so she was on top, and attacked Seven's breasts and nipples with as much, if not more, fervor as Seven had showed. Within seconds the taller woman was gasping, moaning and writhing on the floor, begging Kathryn to touch her more.

With one hand, Kathryn traced a line down Seven's stomach, through the patch of dark blonde curls to the dripping folds below.

"Kathryn!" Seven suddenly shrieked at the first touch.

The passionate response served to further enflame the redhead, and she swung a leg over Seven's, straddling her thigh and bringing her center down hard against the taught muscle. Undulating her hips in a fast, hard rhythm, Kathryn used two fingers to enter Seven, then thought better of it and added a third, forcing the silky muscle to accommodate the girth of her fingers and wrenching another scream from the blonde.

Small eternities passed as they rode each other to completion, harder and faster with each thrust of fingers and hips. Kathryn felt herself falling over the edge, and brushed her thumb hard over Seven's clit, scraping the edge of her nail over the tip. The two women screamed, their intermingling passion echoed in their intermingling cries.

Long moments were spent together, falling hard through air and water and fire and ice as their mutual climaxes stretched on second after endless second. Finally they floated back to reality, breathing hard and collapsed against each other, holding tight to sweat-slick bodies.

"Seven?" Kathryn mumbled as she pressed a kiss to her lover's shoulder.

"Yes, Kathryn?"

"I hope it's not always like that."

Seven blinked, surprised. "Why not?"

Kathryn chuckled. "Because if it is, I'm not going to survive."

Laughing as well, Seven agreed. "It was… intense."

"That's one way it put it."

"Kathryn?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Kathryn smiled happily. "I love you too, Annika." She paused. "And if we sleep on the floor all night, we're gonna be sore as hell. But I don't think I can get up to walk to the bed."

Seven smirked. "So we will stay here. At least until we can both move again."

Kathryn laughed in agreement.

"Kathryn?"

"Yes, Seven?"

"I like it when you call me Annika."

Kathryn smiled. "Then I'll have to do it more often. Annika."

Kathryn sighed as she stared at the pile of PADDs on her desk. 'A third of the ship is on leave,' she thought, 'and I'm stuck with personnel reports.'

With another sigh, she picked up the first PADD and keyed it on. She stared at the screen with mute horror as she read the request for soundproofing on the Captain's quarters. It was signed as being from Chakotay.

Just then, said officer rang the entry chime and walked into the ready room.

Kathryn looked up, her mouth slightly open in shock, her eyes wide.

"Kathryn?" Chakotay asked, watching with amusement as an almost painful shade of red crept up his captain's neck, exploding on her face with blinding intensity. Chuckling, he continued. "I just wanted to say… congratulations. I heard about you and Seven."

As he left the room, Chakotay heard the distinct sound of Kathryn's head hitting the desk.
