"Morning Delights" Ensign Ari LaRue and Lt. Siobhan Nichols Von smiled happily as she set the table for her and Ari before waking her. Ari was glad that she and Von had talked. Set some rules opened the lines of communication's. She was still asleep dreaming of the night before and how much this woman meant to her. She hadn't felt this way in a very long time. Putting the last few touches on the table, Von poured the wine then went in to wake Ari. Kissing her gently, she whispered. "Rise and shine..." Slowly opening her eyes Ari saw the most gorgeous creature before her. She gently returned the kiss, then stretched. "I can't think of a better sight to wake up to. Morning." Von kissed her again gently, snuggling into her a moment before drawing back. "Brunch is on the table." "Smells wonderful, although not as good as you do. I've missed you." "I missed you too, silly, " Von giggled, standing up and shaking out her long red hair, "Now, come eat before it gets cold, you layabout." "Layabout, who you calling a layabout?" Getting up, throwing a tee shirt on Ari followed Von to the table. "Smells nice, but you didn't have to go to so much trouble. Although it is very thoughtful of you." Ari just grinned like a cat who ate a canary. Von laughed as she pulled out a chair for Ari and proceeded to prepare her plate. Ari took the offered seat, "And to what do I owe such service as this?" "Can't a girl just feel like being nice to her lover sometimes?" Von smiled. "I'm not complaining. Everything smell exquisite. When do you have to go into work? How are those upgrades coming anyway?" "Slow," Von sighed, picking up a piece of toast. "I have to go in in an hour and it looks like it'll be doubles from here on out." Taking a drink of juice Ari got a sad look on her face, turning her head to hide it from Von. "Guess we won't get to see too much of each other then will we? Do you need me to do anything for you?" besides miss the hell out of you and wish you were home! "Well, you could start by eating that before it gets cold," Von laughed, shaking her head. "Other than that....well...I'll let you know, okay?" "Yes Ma'am." Picking up her toast she took a bite followed by some juice. "Ya know I'm gonna miss you like hell." "That's sort of the idea," Von admitted, still smiling. "Keep you thinking of me...wanting me...missing me...that way I know you'll wait for me. Think it's working?" "You don't have to do anything for me to feel all those things. I'm not going anywhere. Besides you are always on my mind." Reaching across Ari took Von's hand, "Hon, when are you going to realize I am where I want to be and with the person I want to be with?" "I don't have to do anything, silliness. I know that." Leaning across the table and kissing her gently she added. "But I still want to." Returning the kiss and pulling Von closer Ari, murmured, "I'm glad you still want to. I was afraid there that you didn't." Coming across the table, Von laughed again, kissing Ari over and over. "You're not getting rid of me that easily." Pulling Von into her lap, Ari returned the kisses as eagerly as she received them. "I certainly hope not, you are stuck with me." "Is that so?" Von asked, looking amused. "Oh, really? Stuck am I? ...odd...you don't look that sticky to me..." her eyes mischievous, she added." ...let me help you with that..." Saying that, she reached for a packet of jam, promptly pelting Ari with it playfully, then laughing as she jumped up out of reach. "Oh that is so not fair! You are in trouble now girlfriend." Getting up Ari started to chase Von around the room. "You just wait until I catch you!" Ari was laughing and dripping jelly at the same time. Von could hardly breathe for laughing so hard as she ran around the table until at last she nearly tripped. Going the opposite direction of Von, Ari caught her as she was about to trip. She looked into her eyes wanting to get lost in them. She pulled her close not wanting to let her go. "How long until you have to leave?' Ari asked with a wicked grin. "Seems to me you have jelly on you. What do you suggest we do about that?" "I have forty-five minutes," Von answered, making no effort to remove herself from Ari's embrace, "And you are definitely gonna have to clean me up...can't have me going to work all smudged, now, can we?" Grinning Ari kissed Von gently while letting her hands roam. "Mmm, no we most certainly can't have that. Ari started to kiss her lover all over, licking off bit's of jelly. She quickly removed Von's top not wanting to waste what precious time there was. Taking her own tee shirt off, so not to cover her with more jelly Ari nibbled Von's earlobe, kissing the hollow of her neck, then back to her subtle lips. "Mmm Hmm, you taste good." She looked into Von's eye's for any sign telling her to stop or go on. I definitely want to make love to you Von, you have no idea how bad.... Von smiled, then proceeded to lick the jelly from Ari's skin. "Ooh...strawberry." she cooed. "My favorite." Looking at Von with a wicked grin, "You keep that up and I can't be held responsible for my action's." Cupping Von's face in her hands she gently kissed her, prolonging the kisses as long as possible. "I just happen to love strawberry, so shall I get more or just what should we do?" Von reached over and grabbed the jelly bowl and spoon with one hand, grasping Ari's hair with the other. Looking intently into her eyes, she answered huskily. "you know, if you get me all sticky, you're going to have to clean me up. And I can't be late for work...so I guess you better work fast." Looking into Von's eye's Ari grinned, "well then, I suppose I had better get to work now shouldn't I?" Taking some of the jelly and spreading it over Von, Ari started to lick it off of her. She carried her to the couch and gently laid her down and started to kiss her chest and neck, removing jelly in the process. She licked the jelly off o Von's fingers, gently sucking on each one. "Definitely Strawberry!" "mmm..." Von moaned softly, enjoying the exquisite warmth of Ari's tongue as it suckled her skin. "You know...I think I'm still feeling kind of sticky...a little lower, though..." she took the jelly covered spoon and drew a trail from her breastbone down to the soft red curls below. "Maybe you better work on that..." Starting at the top of the trail of jelly, Ari started to kiss Von's breastbone, moving slowly down the trail. She placed her hands under Von, bringing her closer. She let her hands slide down Von's legs, slowly caressing them, while her mouth and tongue were busy sucking off the jelly. Reaching the red curls, she let her tongue explore some more, teasing her with each little kiss or slip of the tongue. Von arched her back, thrusting her hips upward in pure unadulterated ecstasy as Ari's tongue teased her in all the right places. Winding her hands in Ari's hair, she moaned softly, all thoughts of work, or worry gone, supplanted by the thrills of Ari's gentle ministrations. Working her tongue, Ari could feel Von shudder as she reached the brink and let go. She felt her body go limp, as she moved up to kiss her gently on the mouth. Holding her tight she looked at her lover, "Are you okay?" "Are you kidding?" Von answered. Giving up a loud and contented sigh, she smiled. "I'll give you ...oh...a hundred years to stop that...and you'd better not before then, either..." Laughing, she flipped them until she was on top, then quipped. "You know..you're still a bit sticky yourself." "Am I now?" laughed Ari. "I don't know if there is enough time to take care of that situation. What do you think?" "What kind of engineer would I be if I didn't at least try to fix it?" she demanded, laughing. She lowered herself slowly, kissing and licking every inch along the trail until she found the point she sought. She allowed her tongue and fingers then to work in tandem, with gentle insistence, driving Ari hard beyond all rational thought, to that place where only passion ruled and sensation owned you. Arching her body to meet Von's nimble tongue and fingers, Ari had her hands in Von's hair, pushing her closer. She could feel herself about to lose all control and wanted all of Von at the same time. She pushed herself into the couch until she could no longer hold it back. In one moment of passion, her entire body shudder with the pleasure of release. She pulled Von up and held her tight. "Damn, woman you are good. I love you Von, always remember that." Von smiled gently before the impishness returned in her grin. "If you love me so much, help me wash, quick. I have to be to work in twenty minutes." Laughing, she jumped up and ran to the shower. Following behind Von Ari couldn't help but wonder how she had gotten so lucky. After quickly washing Von down with soapy water, making sure not to miss a spot, then rinsing her, she grabbed a towel to dry her off. She watched as Von put on her uniform, "Ya know I am gonna miss you like hell?" "Good," Von answered happily, tying her hair up into a knot on the back of her neck. "Then we'll both be thrilled when I get home." Laughing, she grabbed her tools, kissed Ari quickly, and hurried out the door.
