May 1998 Star Trek : Deep Space Nine Suitable Desires by Ian Toldman stidev@gate.net Odo was humming a show tune that Vic had taught him as he finished up in station security. He secured his console and was about to go out on rounds when Kira's anxious voice came over his communicator. "Odo! It's me. I need you!" A feeling of dread rose up in Odo. //Something's wrong!// "Kira where are you? What's wrong?" "I'm in cargo bay twelve. The computer won't transport me out and it feels as if things are falling apart." //Transport out?// "Are you hurt?" "No -- At least I don't think so." came her slightly muffled voice. "I'll be there in four minutes." Odo morphed into the fastest shape he could think of and disappeared into the Cardassian station's equivalent of a Jefferies Tube. Odo had long since mapped all the nooks and crannies of the station. His mind raced ahead of his golden shape as he plotted out the shortest path to his troubled lover. *** In just under three standard minutes he was extruding himself through the access hatch security grill like a parallel squarish golden waterfall. As he reformed into his normal uniformed humanoid shape he noted the bilious yellow green fog filling the cargo bay. His normally sensitive nerves reacted to contact with the cloud by retreating deeper into his body. //Hunh? Replicator solvent!// "Computer, erect a chemical containment field for this area with a personnel ingress/egress sequencing seal at the interior hatch." "Containment field in place." Signaled the station computer. Replicator solvent wasn't harmful to living organics and most inorganics. He was now alarmed. //She must be hurt!// "Nerys! Where are you?" he called out. From somewhere in the fog to his left came a shaky reply. "Over here, Odo." He heard her cough then sneeze as he made his way through the swirling chemical smoke. Because she was obviously crying, he began to panic. //Why would she have stayed here? She could have easily escaped out into the docking ring corridor.// "Nerys, I can't see you. Make a noise again." "Here, Odo." she said in a muffled voice. She was behind the shipping containers just in front of him. Once he rounded the containers he found her huddled in a space relatively clear of the chemical fog with her eyes squeezed shut holding an emergency breather mask over her cute ridged nose and sensuous mouth. Odo chuckled. "I see the problem now." Kira opened her eyes, glared at him then squeezed them shut again as they began to tear. "Odo! Get -- Me -- Out -- Of -- Here!" she said fiercely through the muffling effect of the mask, enunciating every syllable. "To sick bay?" She shook her head vehemently. "Okay, stand up." he said gruffly. It was apparent to Odo that the chemical fog had had a rather perverse effect on Kira's replicator synthesized clothing. Whole patches of cloth had dissolved or split and fallen to the floor, seams had come apart and her belt lay on the floor like a dead snake. Her boots were in no better condition. Slowly, Kira rose to her feet, kicking off the useless split boots when they threatened to topple her over. Fully upright with her eyes tightly closed, she was more naked than dressed. The chemical gunk that had adhered to her skin held only bits and patches of the remnants of her uniform. Odo moved forward and morphed, covering her. She shivered as he flowed over her skin lifting and sloughing off bits of remaining cloth here and there. He flowed down over her feet forming crude foot coverings. //Well that should look something like a worker's jump suit.// His main concern was to get her out of there and to safety as quickly as possible. He was worrying whether any other the chemicals in the smoke would affect her. *** Kira still had her eyes closed and the oxygen mask over her face when she felt herself involuntarily walking. She fought it briefly, then, realizing what Odo was doing, relaxed and went along for the ride. The computer sequenced them through the containment field and closed the cargo bay access door behind them. With her eyes still tightly closed, heat flushed through Kira as she imagined that she now stood in the docking ring corridor, naked. //What? Come on Nerys, you're safe now.// Without a formed vocal apparatus, Odo couldn't speak so he tapped Kira on the shoulder. Kira took a last gulp of oxygen then opened her eyes and looked down. A wry grin of relief appeared. She was wearing a crude but effective jump suit. She tossed the oxygen canister aside and answered Odo's unasked question. "I'm sorry Odo. This is a little embarrassing. I guess I panicked a bit when the canister ruptured but I simply couldn't face running around the station in the buff." Her jump suit rumbled in silent laughter. Nerys could tell exactly what Odo was thinking.. "Odo! Stop that! You know that's in private. This is different." Still rumbling a bit, he started them walking back towards her quarters. When she had gained more confidence, he let her drive. *** As they headed back towards the section of habitat ring containing her quarters, her comm badge bleeped "Major Kira -- Please report to Ops immediately." "Fardles!" She opened her right hand, exposing her unpinned comm badge and tapped it with the other to answer. "Dax is that you?" "Yes. It's me -- I have problems in cargo bay twelve, the transporters are down, plasma relays are blowing out and about a dozen other faults. We need you up here." "I know about the cargo bay problem. Keep it under chemical quarantine. I had a little accident in there and I'm a mess right now. I'll be up in about an hour and explain after I've had a chance to clean up. Kira out" "Okay. Dax out" Kira's comm badge clicked off. "Lets go to your quarters;. It's closer. I can clean up and change there." she whispered. Her jump suit gave her a quick squeeze around the waist in acknowledgment as they turned into the next turbolift. said the ancient turbo lift. //The voice circuits -- out again.// she noted and sighed. "Deck 3, Section 12." *** When they were finally safely within Odo's quarters, Odo flowed off of her leaving her nude. He reformed into his normal self wearing casual pants and a matching soft gray tunic. "Turn around. You're going directly to sick bay if I find any chemical burns." Unconscious of her beauty , she pivoted quickly, allowing him to check her visually from all sides. Unlike her behavior earlier, Kira was completely comfortable in nothing but skin in front of her lover. "Very nice." Odo teased. "Odo! Quit it. I'm a mess." "But such a lovely mess." He reached out and caressed her face gently. "Odo, Please -- I itch horribly. This gunk seems to be everywhere. I have to wash it off and I'm going to need your help. Come on." With that she turned and disappeared into the fresher unit of his quarters. He followed, morphing to his nude form, as she adjusted the water flow of the shower head. "You start soaping and scrubbing my back and whatever else, while I wash this junk out of my hair. I'm going to kill Quark for this." Odo puzzled over the last remark as he lathered up her back. Over the past weeks of their budding affair, they had showered together as lovers but never like this. The other times the urges had been sensuous and sexual but now it was a friendly urgency to get her as clean as possible. "Odo, hand me the shampoo." she said facing into the spray, her eyes closed. Without lifting a hand from her back, he formed another, grabbed the bottle and placed it in her hand. "Thanks." She up ended the container to squirt a quantity directly onto her dark red wet mop. Snapping the top closed, she dropped it on the shower stall floor and began to scrub her hair fiercely. Odo mused both scrubbing and caressing his lovers skin; //If two hands clean at a given rate then ten hands must be able to clean faster and ten thousand even faster than that.// Giving life to the thought, Odo enveloped Kira, funneling water from the shower head down over her body; thousands of tiny hands soaped all corners, nooks and crannies of her delectable form. He formed a mask over her face, her eyes covered with only her hair, mouth and nostrils clear. Odo then went on to deep clean every pore of her body. From the outside it appeared that Kira was being consumed by an omnivorous living sponge. Nerys, inside Odo's all over embrace, felt warm, secure and wonderfully pampered. //Ahh! This is so nice. I could stay in here forever// she thought. As Odo began to clean other places, intimate places, sensitive places, the scrubbing began to take on definitely erotic overtones. "Odo?" Suddenly Kira began to tingle all over. "Odo! What are you doing? Arghhh! Oh please..." To Kira, the onslaught of soft cleansing caresses were excruciatingly erotic and seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once. "Oh.... OH!...." She cried as her nipples became painfully erect. She had never been aroused this quickly before and it frightened her. She tried to resist but her body betrayed her when her pelvic area and buttocks began to twitch and contract uncontrollably, which only stimulated her further. Kira began to quiver uncontrollably. "Odo! Please, Odo... Stop... Oh No... Oh No... Oh..." Fearful that he was hurting her, Odo suddenly retreated, turning his attention to washing other parts. At the sudden withdrawal of stimulation, Kira became angry. "Oh no you don't! You can't leave me like this, Odo! Finish what you started!" //I'm sorry Nerys -- I forgot that *no* sometimes means just back off a bit.// Odo returned to cleansing her most sensitive areas then shifted to link with his lover in the most intimate of ways. As Odo filled her, he shifted his nerve endings to maximize his own stimulation. Kira again felt the delicious familiar erotic stimulation that seemed to come from everywhere below her waist. It was maddening as Odo stimulated her both inside and out. It seemed as if her sex was electrically connected directly to her breasts and nipples. Barely able to think she vowed to be more careful with her words. Kria was then jolted by more stimulation. "Odo, please! Yes! That's it.... I can't stand it... do it... Do it now!." Odo swelled inside her, probing, pulsing, stimulating her. Simultaneously, he formed a dozen tiny mouths that attacked her now engorged ridged clitoris. Odo nearly lost control when his nerve endings began firing. When Nerys finally shuddered into climax and clamped down around his swollen parts inside her it triggered his own satisfying release. Kira's world went black. *** Kira was still out. Odo held her carefully upright, cradled within himself. He busied himself by finishing washing her hair then by rinsing her completely clean. As she regained awareness of her surroundings, a single thought came into her mind. //Wow!// "Odo?" she queried. "Mmmmmm" he vibrated. "Odo, that was wonderful but let me out. I have to get dressed and get up to Ops." Odo flowed off of her -- as if simply taking a step backwards -- reforming into his nude humanoid form. "All clean now." he said with a grinning pseudo gruff. "You don't fool me a bit." She kissed Odo's handsome if strange face. "Thank you". Odo kissed her back. "See, I told you I was good for something." Kira stuck out her tongue at him. "Uh... Nerys, about the shower. I forgot and--" "Odo! Stop that right now. I love you. No apologizing, remember?" Overjoyed, he tried to kiss her again but she only brushed his lips then pushed him back gently. "As much as I'd love to, no more for now. We have to go." Stepping from the fresher, Kira grabbed the huge body towel that Odo had gotten for her and sauntered out of the bathroom unit into the bedroom. Odo watched her go, appreciating her tight form, then turned to finish cleaning up himself and the fresher unit. He remembered how messy his own solid body had been and was thankful for the experience since it allowed him to better understand Nerys. *** Odo was still in the fresher in process of wringing the soap and water out of his body when he heard Kira's plaintive cry. "OOOddddooooo!" This was followed by the sound of his lover's bare feet padding quickly back into the bathroom still wrapped in the towel. "Odo, your replicator won't give me a new uniform, underwear or anything. Now I don't have anything to wear." Odo uncurled himself from a contorted state in which he appeared to be a cross between an animated sponge and a self wringing mop. Odo's head reformed from the side of the twisted mass. "I know, it's just that I--" "You know!" she said, eyes flashing. "Sorry Nerys, I should have had O'Brian's maintenance people fix it but since I never use that part of the replicator, I keep forgetting." "Odo! You know very well that since I--" Odo cut her off. "I said I was sorry. Come on Nerys -- I'll get it fixed as soon as I can." "But what am I going to do now?! I took all of my casual clothes and underwear back to my quarters to launder them. I didn't leave anything here to wear. I have to get back to my place to get a new uniform that fits." "Just a moment, Nerys, I have to finish." Odo suddenly began to shake like a dog, flinging water every which way inside the fresher stall, then reformed his nude self in front of her. "Ahhh. That's better." he grinned. Kira looked on appreciatively. "You're lucky Odo -- you're drip dry but you can't distract me that way." Odo grinned then reformed again so that he was wearing only shorts, instead of getting "fully" dressed which might make Kira uncomfortable. "Well, I guess we could get you back to your quarters the same way I got you here. We'd just have to be careful coming back out because even though people know we're together, it wouldn't be proper for me to be seen leaving your quarters at this hour of the day" "Odo, you think too much. You know that there's likely to be gossip no matter what time it is." A wicked smile then formed on her face as she dropped her towel and kicked it over into the corner. "I suppose that you are right." he said as he turned, bent and picked it up, hanging it neatly on the towel bar. When he turned back he found the lovely vision of his nude lover standing there with her arms out as if being measured for a new dress. "Okay Odo, I'm ready." she said simply. With a broad grin that faded away like the Cheshire cat's, Odo's casually clad body dissolved in a single fluid motion, flowing into a golden puddle around Kira's feet. Kira giggled as she felt herself lifted from the floor when her feet became surrounded in soft imitations of her regular boots. "Ooo -- Odo, That's nice." Odo continued to flow up her shapely legs and hips in a thin golden wave. As he formed himself over her breasts and still partially erect nipples, Odo formed his head on a flexible neck. "Well hello again." Kira said in delighted surprise. "And a hello to you too. See you later." Odo kissed her sensuously on the lips, then disappeared as he flowed over her shoulders and down her back until she was completely suited in gold. Kira watched her image in the full length mirror in amazement as she was being dressed. She nearly missed the change as she suddenly found herself wearing her regular day uniform. "Odo that's amazing. It's perfect." she said in awe. A red pseudo pod extended itself from one of her boots and snaked out across the floor to collect her comm badge from where she had dropped it by the bed. The retrieved badge then slithered up her body to come to rest above her left breast. "Other side, I'm left handed." The comm badge obligingly moved to the other side. Kira checked herself out in mirror and ran her fingers through her dark red mane. "Now all I need is to run a brush through this vole's nest and we can be off." She was surprised when a pair of pseudo pods extended from behind her, formed into two arms, one holding a brush and the other a comb. They went to work, quickly styling her disheveled red mane into its normal pixie style. As quickly as they appeared, they were gone, their job done. "Odo, You know you're spoiling me. You're going to have to watch it because I could easily get too used to this." Kira's uniform shook gently as it chuckled. "Okay we have to go. We've barely 20 minutes left to get me to my quarters, change and go back on duty." *** As they neared her part of the habitat ring, they encountered station security blocking the end of the corridor. "I'm sorry, Major, this area is temporarily blocked off. You can't go in there." "I can't what! -- My quarters are in there." "That may be, Major but I have my orders -- Chief O'Brian ordered us to seal off this area of the ring for safety reasons for at least the next twenty-hours. Something about a plasma conduit failure and radiation decontamination. You'll have to ask him." "Twenty hours! And just where am I going to stay in the mean time?" "You could try the Bachelor Officers Quarters." "The BOQ? Ghuy'Cha'!" The guards shook their heads in surprise as the Major cursed the unwanted news in Klingonese. She then spun on a heel and stalked off back towards the turbolift. As she entered the turbolift she whispered. "Bear with me, Odo I'll find some way out of this." Her uniform gave her a quick squeeze around the waist in acknowledgment. "Destination" queried the turbolift. "Ops" *** As Kira entered the turbo lift, she was fully conscious of nudity beneath the luxurious fluidity of Odo's mimicked uniform. //At least now he's behaving himself.// she thought. When the turbolift began its transition, Kira smoothed her hand over the simulated cloth of her uniform. //Odo fits better than any of my replicated uniforms.// she thought. Then she chuckled to herself, thinking of the morning's activities //In fact, Odo fits me better everywhere. Ooops!// Kira suddenly blushed when she realized that she had become damp with her unguarded thoughts. //I hope Odo doesn't notice.// Odo did notice. Over the weeks of their affair, Odo had become chemically sensitive to the sensuous secretions of his Bajoran lover. He was now, however, theoretically on duty. It took the full measure of Odo's will power to suppress her inadvertent stimulation of him as he dutifully dried the affected area. Kira thought it was the old Cardasian turbolift's crankiness that was causing the vibration as her uniform shuddered briefly. *** Jadzia Dax's hobby was meddling with the lives of people she cared for. Every past host life cycle contributed to her uncanny ability to sometimes notice the tiniest nuances and changes in people's demeanor. Jadzia instantly knew something was going on even before Kira stepped off of the lift into Ops. Before Kira had realized it, Dax was handing her a fresh cup of steaming Raktijino. "Give, Kira. What's up? You look like you could chew nails. Now, what happened in cargo bay twelve?" "I'm telling you Jadzia. I'm going to kill Quark. Normally I don't bother but I found something odd about one of his delivery manifests when I was reviewing traffic this morning so I decided to check it out. I should have guessed and taken both a security and a decontamination team with me. Turns out that he had an unauthorized shipment of replicator raw material solvent and, get this, they weren't thermo packed." "Ye Gods, Kira" Jadzia exclaimed. "That means--" "Yes, one of the canisters failed and it made a royal mess. It will take us a week to flush out and decontaminate the cargo bay before any replicated synthetic material can move through there. O'Brian will probably have to replace most of the electrical wiring too." "We'll just have to take it out of his hide somehow." Jadzia said sweetly. //Oh boy, is Quark in for it now. Thank the gods that Jadzia didn't make the connection between the solvent and clothing// Kira thought as she continued. "Did you know that my part of the habitat ring is currently quarantined?" "Okay, Kira, where were you? That area was cleared at 04:30 when one of the old Cardassian plasma junctions blew out. The racket would have awakened the dead." Kira blushed, but said nothing. Dax realized that Kira may not have been asleep in her quarters when the evacuation order went into effect. Dax grinned then cocked her head. "And what time did you go on duty?" "07:00" Kira whispered flatly so no one else could overhear. "Now Dax, leave me alone. I'm not answering any more questions." Jadzia's eyes twinkled. Taking her Raktajino over to her command console, Kira set it down then flopped down into her chair. //I know she knows damned well where I was last night.// "Odo. How do we get out of this mess?" she said quietly. Her uniform shrugged its shoulders slightly in reply. "I guess we'll be stuck here for a while. I'll see if we can get away a little later. Are you all right? Use one squeeze for yes, two for no and a bunch for an emergency. Okay?" Her uniform gave her a single squeeze. "Will you be okay? Are you comfortable?" Another single squeeze. As the morning wore on, Kira forgot that she wasn't wearing her regular uniform as she went about her normal duties, docking ships, settling disputes and organizing general orders for the station. Keeping both the races and Deep Space Nines cranky hodge podge collection of Federation and Cardassian technology running smoothly required twice the effort of a normal federation station. And today, both the inhabitants and the station were particularly contrary. *** It was early afternoon when the Raktajino finally got to Kira and her eyes widened when she realized what it would mean. "Odo!" she whispered. Squeeze? "I have to go to the head. My bladder is full. Gods this is embarrassing. What will we do?" Odo had been day dreaming, trying to decide whether a Rigellian slither beast or an earth spotted cat would be more fun to imitate. Alert, he quickly explored Kira's body to decide how best to solve their immediate problem without raising suspicions. "Odo, stop that it tickles." Squeeze Squeeze. "You've figured out something?" Squeeze. Kira then felt parts of the inside of her uniform rearranging itself to fit tightly against that particular area between her legs. "Odo! You can't mean--" Squeeze! She suddenly felt her uniform pushing gently at the area above her pelvic bone. "Are you sure?" Squeeeeeeeezzzzeee! Kira blushed but couldn't stand it any longer and relaxed and let it happen, expecting to feel a wetness trickle down her leg but, when she had finished, she felt completely dry and clean. "Okay, Odo, now what?" Odo detached a piece of himself and gave it enough intelligence to get rid of the waste, then go home and wait in the pail for his return. Kira watched in fascination as a golden blob detached itself from her boot and slithered down into the access runs below Ops. "Odo! That's a piece of you. Won't it get lost?" Squeeze Squeeze. "Odo, you are amazing." she said stroking the fabric along her arm. Were Odo an earthean spotted cat, he would have purred. Kira quickly regained her composure and the bustle of Ops quickly reclaimed her attention. Not wanting to repeat the previous episode, Kira decided to cut her afternoon consumption of Raktajino to a single cup. She didn't see the puzzled look on Jadzia's face after observing their nearly silent interchange from her station across the room. *** Late in the watch Dax sidled casually over to Kira's station. "Kira, have you seen Odo? Nobody's seen him at all today." Kira blushed again. "Not since this morning." "Kira! I thought... you were... in Odo's...?" she said feigning shock. She nodded. "Wow! Nice work but do you have any idea where he may have gone?" "No" she lied "But I'm sure he's somewhere around. Maybe he's regenerating." Kira's uniform nearly giggled in mirth until she kicked one shin with the other foot. "I'll bet he is!" said Dax with a smirk, knowing Kira's sexual appetite. "Jadzia!" "In any case, when you see him next, tell him that Benjamin wants to go over security tomorrow morning for the five worlds' conference. "I'll do that -- and Jadzia -- if you tell anyone about this, Worf's going be a widower." Dax grinned. "Why Kira, my dear, I'd never tell a soul." "Ha! Right." Squeeze! Odo agreed with her. *** Kira was turning over control of the station Ops to the evening watch just as Sisko came up behind her. He waited until she had completed the duty transition then cleared his throat, indicating he was there. Kira started as she had not heard him come up behind her. "Major?" "Sir?" "I've just found out that we are to be at Ambassador Ranflexor's reception at 18:00 hours. I hate to do this to you -- dress is civilian, semi formal. You better get going to change -- It wouldn't be appropriate to be late." "But... my quarters are --" "No buts." said Sisko. "Get going, Major." Sigh. "Yes sir." *** //Oh gods -- with my quarters off limits I've nothing to wear and I'm certainly not going to get to Garaks' in time this late in the day. Well, At least I have enough time for us to get back to Odo's quarters to shower and change again. Maybe we can find something acceptable on the Promenade on the way.// "I need to get a dress for tonight so we're going to detour through the Promenade on the way home." she said quietly. Squeeze. Kira stopped at Garak's but, as expected, he had already closed for the day. In the window, however, was a new dress she had never seen before, a beautiful white spider silk gown of elegant cut but obviously for someone taller than herself. Even if Garak was open there was insufficient time for a fitting. Sigh. //How come if it's a perfect design for you, it's the wrong size and if it's the right size then you wouldn't want it in your closet?// They paused at each shop to see what was available until, at the third, she saw an evening dress that was acceptable even though she hated the thought of spending any latinum to buy it. //I wonder what Odo thinks of this one?// "What do you think? Will that dress be okay for this evening?" she said as if talking to herself. Squeeze Squeeze. "Well then, what am I going to wear?" Squeeze "Yes?" Squeeze Squeeze. "No? I'm confused." Squeeeeezzzzeeee. "You?" Squeeze! "But Odo it's unfair." //I wonder if he knows how wonderful it feels to be wrapped in a cloud all day long? I can't ask him to do this too.// Squeeze Squeeze. "You've been my uniform all day. Are you sure that you'll be able to hold up?" she continued in a whisper. Squeeze. //Nerys, I love being wrapped around you and, besides, it should be more fun to be something elegant than a uniform. Something nice, I think.// "Okay -- but I'm warning you -- you're going to have to be on your best behavior tonight." Squeeze. //Oh Kira my love, I'll be off duty.// Kira couldn't hear Odo's thoughts nor could she see the crossed pseudo pod fingers behind her back as they headed back to Odo's. *** When the door to the Ambassador's suite opened, Kira was anything but the Major. The dark, liquid green, silken dress formed to her trim body in shimmering elegance contrasted strikingly with her dark red hair. As she walked into the room, every curve seemed to be suggested, exposed and hidden at the same time. The flesh of her legs flashed as the her slit skirt flowed around her. Her feet were encased in matching medium heeled slipper boots. A matching scarf wound around over her head, around her neck and was then flipped over her shoulder to elegantly trail down her back. Dax, who had talking to Garak, simply stopped midsentence to watch in amazement, fascinated as Kira turned to the short receiving line of Captain Sisko, the Ambassador and the Ambassador's wife. The form fitting dress left her back deliciously bare to the point that it would become embarrassing if it were any lower. //Where in the world did she find such a dress? Oooo, I want one too!// Jadzia thought jealously. She turned and found Worf staring at Kira rather than paying attention to her. Annoyed she punched him in the ribs. "Over here, Worf. Roll your eyeballs back in -- It's only Kira." //Only Kira! Hoo Boy.// Conversations died away as nearly every male and most female humanoids turned to see the source of the commotion. Garak's eyes widened in amazement and professional jealously. Benjamin Sisko's eyes traversed her well turned out form, raised an eyebrow in question, then nodded slightly, signaling his approval. "Ambassador Ranflexor, may I present my first officer, Major Kira Nerys of Bajor?" "My pleasure, Ambassador. I hope that you had a pleasant trip." Kira curtsied slightly, as she placed her hand in the Ambassador's. "Quite so. I wish that all of my officers were as lovely as you Major." "Why thank you sir. I am honored by your compliment." Instantly enamored with this lovely creature, he continued. "Major, please. You must use my given name Gorand. May I present my wife, Anthenia." he said turning to the attractive middle aged woman to his left. "I am so pleased to meet you. Should I call you Major Kira?" "No ma'am." //She's studied up Bajoran customs. I like her.// "We are off duty. Kira is my family familiar name and Nerys is my given intimate name. You may use either" she said granting her the friendship honor of her position. The Ambassador's wife nodded accepting the gift. "Nerys, that dress is lovely on you. Was it made for you locally?" Kira smiled. "In a sense." She left it hanging. "Really? You must--" "I'm afraid that that won't be possible. I'm really sorry but I promised that I wouldn't tell." "Oh how delightful. A mysterious benefactor." "Yes ma'am. I guess you could say that." Kira's dress hugged her invisibly causing her to shiver. "My dear -- are you cold. I could--" "No No. It's just the excitement of this evening." "Ben?" The Ambassador queried. "Where is this shape shifter of yours? You know I wanted to meet him in person." "I had expected him to be here but apparently he did not get the word." "Ah, I see." he continued. "Kira, I had expected Odo to come with you, tonight." "Captain, I haven't seen Odo since I left Ops." she lied. Odo tickled the inside of her thighs causing her to shiver again even though she could not do any thing about it at the moment. "Well Ambassador, we have a security meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning for the conference. We'll drop by afterwards so you can meet. Will that be satisfactory?" "Oh yes. Quite. I'm looking forward to it." Kira was anxious to get away from the receiving line. "Gentlemen, if you will excuse me, I need to talk to Commander Dax." "Oh yes, the Trill. Quite, Quite. Run along, we can talk later." *** Odo began to stimulate the curve under her breasts causing her already prominent nipples to harden even more beneath the `fabric'. "Stop that! I told you to be good." Squeeze Squeeze. "Yes!" she whispered fiercely. Squeeze Squeeze. "BOQ?" Squeeze Squeeze. "Okay then behave." Squeeze. "Let's get this part over with, Odo, so we can enjoy the party." she said as she flowed over to where Garak, Jadzia and Worf were gathered, claiming a flute of Bajoran Spring Wine in the process. "Kira you look fabulous." Said Jadzia. "I do, don't I?" Kira pirouetted to show off how well the dress fitted. Garack joined the conversation. "Kira, I am really quite devastated. Here, I thought that I was the best tailor in this part of the galaxy and you show up in THAT! If I were prone to it, I would be extremely jealous." "You shouldn't be -- this is a one of a kind design that I must return tonight." "Who is it? Who designed this... this... heavenly creation. I must meet whoever it was." Kira was delighted. "Well, suffer then, Garack. I am honor bound never to tell." Odo insinuated himself between her nether lips and began to toy with her clitoris. Kira's eyes suddenly closed as she swayed and clamped her thighs together. "Are you all right, Kira? You suddenly went pale." said Jadzia. Odo relented and allowed her to catch her breath. "No No. It's just been a rough day. It must be the effect of the Spring Wine on top of not having had much to eat all day." "Kira.. Something's.. Going.. On.. I can smell it." replied Jadzia. //Smell it? Oh Gods, I wonder if..// she trembled. Odo realized what she was thinking. For the areas of her body that he covered, he had absorbed everything that could give off a sexual scent. Squeeze Squeeze. "Jadzia, there's nothing going on. Really!" Jadzia cocked her head, obviously not quite believing her. "Where's Odo? -- I thought he'd be with you." "I haven't the slightest idea." she lied. "We may be going together, but I am not responsible for knowing his whereabouts all the time. Besides, I told you that I haven't seen him since this morning." Odo formed a thin digit and gently stimulated her anal ring. Kira grimaced slightly clamping her buttocks together trying to prevent him from going any farther. Odo again relented. "If you'll excuse me, I have to get something to eat." Once assured that no one could see her face, she whispered fiercely. "Odo. I want you too but you better behave yourself or I will go to the BOQ tonight. Do.. You.. Understand.. Me?" Squeezeeeee. Almost apologetically. "Good. Now could Jadzia really smell me?" Squeeze Squeeze. *** She was finally enjoying the party. The music and dancing allowed her to show off the graceful way her dress moved with her in it. She sat on the couch resting and listening avidly to the Ambassador's tales of treaties, wars and intrigue. Jadzia, sitting on the arm of the couch next to her, was in deep conversation with Julian. When the Ambassador turned to ask a question of Sisko, Odo began squeezing her waist to get her attention. "What is it?" She whispered, annoyed. A mimicked sound of a clock came from somewhere. //Prophets!// she thought as she realized her predicament. //If Odo collapses to regenerate, I'll be left standing here in my birthday suit.// Before the Ambassador could turn back to her she touched Dax on the hip. Dax turned and looked at her. "Dax -- I have to leave -- NOW!" she mouthed. "But Kira, the party's just getting started." she said quietly then leaned down so that they could talk head to head. "Dax, I can't. I'll explain later but not now. Now help me get out of here without arousing suspicion." she whispered fiercely. Taken aback by the panicked tone of her friend's voice, Dax gracefully rose. "Kira, Come with me, I want to show you those Avacan paintings." Kira turned to the Ambassador, "Ambassador, if you will you excuse me." "Certainly, Major, we can continue this at another time." Dax stood and waited for Kira to rise then guided her down a hallway that lead to the suite's food service area and a service entrance. "Kira. If you don't tell me what is going on, I'll--" Kira placed two fingers on Jadzia's lips as she felt her shoes begin to tremble. "Dax, I promise -- I have to go -- NOW." "Okay - Go then. Just remember, tomorrow." Dax opened the service entrance door and surprised the security detail stationed there. Sweeping past Jadzia and the guards, Kira quickly disappeared down the service hallway. Once away from prying eyes, she began to run. Her elegant green gown flapped and flowed around her but held its shape as she ached to get back to Odo's quarters in time. Suddenly she was running in her bare feet. "Hold on Odo." she whispered to her gown. "We're almost there." *** Kira, breathing hard from the exertion, paused to catch her breath as the door to Odo's quarters closed behind her. Still wearing her gown, she made her way to their bedroom and collapsed on the bed -- exhausted. She had no idea how Odo had managed to last as it was well past his regeneration time. "Okay, Odo. You can let go now. We're home safe." Odo collapsed and flowed down onto the bed, leaving her again nude. His liquid self filled the indentation in the mattress surrounding her with a golden puddle. She reached down and swept up a ball of his golden gel and kissed it. "Oh, Odo -- this was the wildest day ever -- You know I do love you." A partial face formed, smiled and then melted through her fingers and fell gently onto her exposed skin, then slithered back down to join the rest of him. Pulling the cover over both of them, Kira snuggled into the warm, golden liquid of her regenerating lover. A sleepy pseudo pod slithered up and stroked her torso gently. "And I love you, Kira Nerys." she heard from below her. "Good night, Odo, my love." she whispered. Odo snuggled closer to her and relaxed into his own regenerative retreat. "Mmmmm." the answer came back. She smiled contentedly and joined him in sleep. *** Much later, a small golden blob crawled out of the pail where it had been waiting patiently and joined the two sleeping lovers on the bed. ~End~
