Steaming up the Leaves

[Major Heath Ellerton]

Heath hardly waited until the doors to 10-forward closed before pulling her body up against his. His face inches from hers. The alcohol from her drink still leaving a burning trail down his throat. He pressed her gently up against the wall.

His hands captured her around the waist, and started to slide up her sides. Just then the doors whisked open again and some of the party-goers left laughing and talking. The paused a moment staring at the two figures locked together in the corridor before quickly turning away.

"Dammit. Let's go." He grabbed her hand, and with his eyes watching every direction, he tired to find them a place. Too many people here. Then, just in front of him the doors to the turbolift opened and let off a few passengers. No one else was around. He tugged her hand and pulled them both inside before the doors whooshed closed.

He pressed her back up against the wall, leaned in and captured her mouth with his.

"Please state destination," the chirpy computer voice interrupted.

Breaking off the kiss, his eyes bored into Zaynah's. "Anywhere private!" He snarled, wanting to give his attentions back to the luscious figure before him.

"Unable to comply, please specify destination," Heath groaned. He didn't know where to take them. Somewhere they could be alone...undisturbed.

"Arboretum" His words were almost a query of the computer. Suddenly the lift sprang into action. With a cocky grin on his face, Heath turned back to his prey.

"I always liked things that were green," he stated, before pressing his lips to hers once more. His hands quickly grasping her sides, his fingers trying to work their way through the material that covered her. But before he could accomplish his task, the doors whooshed open and he heard giggles coming from behind him.

He pulled away from Zaynah, rolling his eyes, then grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the turbolift with him. He shot the simpering females a look that quickly silenced their tittering. He smirked, knowing he had put them in their place.

Hardly even paying attention to where he walked, Heath found himself standing before the now open doors of the arboretum. Perfect. They could easily hide amid the foliage. He tossed a look over to Zaynah before taking her inside with him.

It seemed no matter where they went, they were caught, which just added to Zaynah's excitement. Everytime Heath scowled at someone, Zaynah would give them a huge grin. They were all adults. If they had a problem with it, they could go somewhere else as far as Zaynah was concerned. It wasn't like they were doing anything in the Captain's Ready Room. She chuckled at that thought. Now that would be interesting!

She broke down into laughter as he tried to kiss her but got interrupted by the computer. He was already in a frenzy for action and when he smiled that saucy grin at her... she couldn't wait for the lift to get to their destination. "Arboretum? That's a new one," she smirked.

As the lift opened and she heard giggles, she made eyes with the female crewmembers before they skittered off. "Get your own," she called out after them.

When he pulled away, she whimpered a little, but had to quicken her step to keep up with him. She caught his look and she stepped inside the arboretum. The immediate increase in oxygen was heady and she wasted no time. With a devilish grin, she jumped at him, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. "Now that you have me... whatever are you going to do?"

"Now that you have me... whatever are you going to do?"

His eyes gleamed with the thought of exactly what he wanted to do with her. Capturing her mouth with his as he held her to him, he showed her just what he hoped to do with her soon. Breaking the kiss, he carried her with him down an off-shot of the main path, until he found a rather open space hidden behind a collection of trees, bushes and shrubs.

"Perfect," he breathed and carried her there. In seconds his shirt was gone and he was pressing her into the ground as his mouth devoured hers. His hands roamed nearly everywhere.

Finally, breaking the kiss, he said, "I'm going to show you how a marine does things, Zaynah."

They were fairly hidden by the brush and trees. In fact from a distance you would likely not be able to see them. However, if someone had chosen to walk that path, they would quickly have heard the heady breathing and other sounds that filled the air before they saw the pair entangled together as they joined in a timeless dance.

Zaynah laughed. She had removed the white dress and tossed it behind her. It lodged itself up in a bush. Her own hands matched his in intensity. She squirmed a bit, finding a stone jamming her in her spine, then settled into a little hollow in the sweet smelling earth.

"I'm going to show you how a marine does things, Zaynah."

She pulled his head back to hers, unable to stand the break in contact. Her pheromones floated around them as she kissed him, not that he needed any help. She'd known men in many branches of military service, but couldn't recall any marines. His words excited her. "Show me," she whispered as she came up for air. Her finger freed him of further restraints. Looking down the length of his body, her eyes widened and she smiled up at him. "Ooh-rah," she exclaimed.

[Major Heath Ellerton]

He snorted a chuckle at her version of the marine call. Ooh-rah hardly described the sensations he began to feel as his body pressed into hers. His body led the way, all thoughts of anything else forgotten as he pushed them both into a frenzied state of pure bliss. Her contributions only added fuel to the fire. He captured her mouth and plundered it mimicking the act taking place between them.

Nothing else mattered to him except finding that sweet spot of sheer bliss with the emerald, glowing woman before him. Nothing he had experienced before could quite compare to this particular moment. Her pheromones only egged him on to help them both seek fulfillment.

Zaynah clawed at the dirt as her body arched in response to his ministrations. He knew exactly where to touch her, exactly how to use every part of his body to drive her insane with pleasure. She could see the unfocused look in his eyes, a hallmark of man's response to an Orion. The intensity kept building and building until Zaynah suddenly stopped moving.

"Shhh," she said.

She gave him a wicked grin as footsteps and voices grew louder, passed by without turning down their path, and continued onward. The act of waiting had driven Zaynah to the edge and she squirmed under him, begging him to continue.

[Major Heath Ellerton]

Oh yes, now this was the life. Heath's touch seemed to send her spiraling out of control. He'd always been told he had that special touch when it came to women. Her reactions to him only enticed him to continue his journey.

As he pushed them both further, he could feel the final joyous moment approaching...only then her words entered his passion-filled mind.

Shhhh

Holding still, though it was possibly one of the hardest things he had done, Heath waited. His breath was short and ragged. He needed to finish what he'd started. His muscles were trembling from the effort it took to restrain himself. The sounds of voices and footsteps soon faded.

Heath turned his gaze back to Zaynah, a cocky, smug grin on his face...that was until she moved. His breath caught and he soon joined her in a timeless rhythm. In those seconds he wouldn't have cared of the damn Captain had walked in on them, nothing was going to delay his gratification this time.

He felt his body tense as he reached his fulfillment. Her pheromones sent him sky-high he couldn't even see straight in front of him until he crested.

"Damn...that was good." He gasped out as he returned to himself. "Like a little bud flourishing under my excellent...skills." A raised eyebrow, a smirk of satisfaction, a feeling of sheer gratification showed exactly how he was feeling after their encounter.

Zaynah dug her earth-covered hands into Heath's back as he reached the summit in time with her. The two collapsed, breathing rapidly. He was the first to regain his composure and, unfortunately, his voice.

"Like a little bud flourishing under my excellent...skills."

"Oh really," Zaynah said, raising up on her elbows, "is that so?" She poked him in the chest with an emerald green finger, "perhaps that's because I haven't even begun to show you what I can do." Before he could blink, she had him on his back and had his eyes locked with hers. "Silly human..."

She knew most humanoids needed rest after such exertion. She also knew how to circumnavigate that need. With a scoffing sound, she said, "your skills," and laughed as she headed south, leaving a trail of extra potent pheromones in her wake. He had no option but to enjoy her gifts.

"Oh really, is that so? perhaps that's because I haven't even begun to show you what I can do."

Heath's eyes opened wider as he found himself on his back and soon receiving Zaynah's gifts. She worked his body to the point that it was nearly humming like a well-tuned instrument. His heartbeat soon quickened, his breathing became more ragged. Damn, she was good. Very good. He would be happy to let her play him anytime.

"Damn....amazing," he gasped out at her. He knew how to treat a woman to a good time, but seldom did he receive the treatment that Zaynah was now dishing out. His body begged for more. Suddenly he found all restraints cast aside, nothing held back as he found himself sky-rocketing with wave upon wave of intensity. Nothing he had ever experienced had been like that.

By the time he came to his senses again, his body was dripping with perspiration and his heartbeat was still rapid.

"That was....earth-shattering." He stated looking to Zaynah. His own gifts to her seemed to pale in comparison to where she had taken them. Heath didn't even know what to do with himself, as he simply lay there basking in the amazing sensations. Finally, he reached for her, pulled her to him and gave her an intense kiss.

Pulling away he grinned, "That was just a little thank you, though it hardly compares to what you gave me. Zaynah, I think we just may get along very, very well." His cocky grin was back on his face as he feasted on her body with his eyes.

In the throes of their passion, neither had heard the footsteps until they were very close.

"I tell you," a male voice said, "I heard something."

Zaynah took a flying leap into the bushes, curling into a ball, and disappeared as her skin became the perfect camouflage. She bit her lower lip. "I'm so sorry," she thought as she saw a man and a woman appear.

The man took one look at Heath and covered the woman's eyes.

"No no," she said, pulling away, "I want to see what-- Oh!" She stood there, her head tilting a little as she checked him out.

Zaynah put her own dirt-covered hand over her own mouth to keep from laughing.

"Um..." The man murmured, a sly smile on his face, "communing with nature?"

[Major Heath Ellerton]

'Shit,' he thought only seconds before the couple was upon them. Zaynah had skirted off and disappeared into the bushes, leaving Heath alone to face the gawkers. Had it been a few females alone, he would have simply offered to 'meet up' with them later. But, he was not so lucky. At least they hadn't called security on him! That was a plus.

"Um..." The man murmured, a sly smile on his face, "communing with nature?"

Heath, still not quite recovered from Zaynah's exquisite treatment, took a bit longer than usual to come up with a reply.

"You bet! I swear, this particular spot has the absolute best skin exfoliation. You really should try it. You will be amazed at how smooth your skin turns." Looking to the man, he gave him a wink, "It does wonders for other areas of the body as well." He only hoped they would buy his little lies and not get him thrown in the brig. Not that he couldn't handle that, he just didn't really want to have to explain that to his commanding officer.

The man gave him a knowing look while the woman giggled a bit more. When she looked over to her companion, the two shook their heads a bit. Then the man said, "Whatever floats your...um. boat, man."

Blessedly, the two turned and left him with only a parting comment, "Wouldn't stay there too long, mate. Wouldn't want someone else coming along." Heath knew exactly what the man was saying and couldn't agree more. No need to get himself thrown in the brig.

Once they were gone, he rose and tossed a look into the bushes.

"Thanks alot!" He grumbled, "Setting me out to the wolves while you melt into the leaves!" Heath had already righted his trousers by the time he finally spotted Zaynah.

"Let's get the hell out of here before those two come back. Exfoliation! I can't believe that bought that shit." He snickered a bit as he dangled her little dress in his hands, just waiting for her to come back out and join him.

By the time he had finished with his 'explanation', Zaynah was almost hysterical with laughter. After they were gone, she rolled out of the bushes, laughing with abandon as he chastised her. "Hey," she said, looking up at him, "you picked the location. Next time pick somewhere where bronzed human skin can hide." She scrambled to her feet, "you know... you're cute when you're embarrassed."

She dusted the dirt off of her body the best she could as he held out her white dress. "I don't think they 'bought' anything," she laughed, "after all, this--" she pointed to the dress, "was hanging in the bush over your head the entire time." She grabbed at the dress, but he didn't let go. Putting both hands on her hips, she said, "may I have my dress, please?"

[Major Heath Ellerton]

The little minx, he thought with a grin. He enjoyed watching her body as she tried to capture the dress. Heath was having too much fun to let go quite yet. Then, she spoke again and Heath felt like returning the favor she had bestowed on him.

"You know, I've always wanted a nice piece of white linen. This will do nicely," he stated as he held her dress in his arms. "I bet I'd be willing to return it in say a few days. Maybe you can find me then. I'm sure we could continue this conversation right where we left off. Till then, Zaynah!" With dress in hand, Heath turned, gave her a little wave and sauntered out of the arboretum, laughing the whole time. Payback's a bitch, he thought with a grin.

On his way out, he was sure he heard giggles and the word 'exfoliation' coming from another path. That only made him chuckle harder. Oh, how he wished he could be a fly on the wall and see how Zaynah would handle things now, but rather than sticking around to see, he disappeared around the corner and was gone.

"You know, I've always wanted a nice piece of white linen. This will do nicely."

Her eyes widened. "Wait... what--" He wouldn't be that cruel!

"I bet I'd be willing to return it in say a few days. Maybe you can find me then. I'm sure we could continue this conversation right where we left off. Till then, Zaynah!"

"Hey! Don't you dare... Wait!!" She ran after him, but stopped partway down the path as she realized the other couple hadn't yet left the arboretum. "You're so dead," she shouted after him. The others, hearing the shout, had rushed back to find her standing there, hands on hips, her eyes blazing at the door as it shut behind him.

"Missing something," the man said.

She spun around in her silver stilettos, "what do you have to offer," she said, giving him a quizzical look, then frowned, "not much, by the looks of things."

The woman next to him started laughing and he folded his arms across his chest, "I happen to have a lot to offer."

Zaynah nodded. "You just keep thinking that," she said, then waved her hand at him, "go... nothing left to see here..." She made a decision and took in a deep breath, causing him to stare even more. The woman elbowed him and pulled him along. "Bye bye," Zaynah said.

With a look of utter determination, she headed down the path, out the door, and down the hallway, her chin held high.

"Clothing malfunction," she said to a female Ensign who stopped, slack-jawed.

"Is it cold in here," she asked a Lieutenant as she stepped onto the turbolift. He kept his eyes firmly on the floor the entire time.

"Stealth clothing," she said to another as she walked the hallway to her quarter, "very top secret... might not want to mention you saw it." She winked at him.

Stepping into her quarters, she shook her head, then smiled. "I am so going to kill him."
