Email Feedback is most welcome. janeway.voyager@ntlworld.com COMING BACK TO LIFE - by Janeway Voyager Part 2/4 Lisa emerged from the bathroom to an apparently empty room and then a very sexy voice made her turn toward the bed as the covers were being turned back. 'Care to join me for that nightcap?' Lisa silently slipped in beside Katherine and was handed a bubbling glass of champagne. 'To.......friendships' Katherine said repeating the toast. 'No........to us' The atmosphere was tangible and their eyes never left each others whilst both, very slowly and very sexily sipped the sallow liquid. Wordless, they put their glasses aside and just for a moment, eyes locked, kept the gaze before tenderly reaching out for each other. The kiss, tentative at first, was as soft and as loving as each had ever experienced and soon built into an exploration and a now desperate need for them to display how much this meant to both of them. Not wanting to stop but both needing air, they parted taking deep breaths. 'So.....Can I take it you prefer women then?' Lisa said in a serious voice. Katherine looked at her incredulously then they both burst into laughter. She took a pillow and playfully threw it at Lisa who gathered it up and tossed it back. 'You are the most incredible woman I have ever met Lisa Ross. You're full of contradictions and surprises. I can see you are going to keep me on my toes' 'Right now I'd like to keep you on your back actually' Laughter filled the room once more then their eyes met as the urgent deeply sexual feelings began to surface. 'I want you so much Katherine' 'Then you shall have me my love' Lisa drew Katherine into her arms and kissed her again......more demanding this time as they both felt the surge of passion taking them over. Her hand slowly stroked Katherine's arm then continued downward to her back then circled the base of her spine sending sweet pleasure to her partner. The throaty groan she got in response only made her own desire more burning and her hand moved up to the swell of Katherine's breast. Her finger teased the hard nipple causing Katherine to press closer in an involuntary movement of her hips as the need for release began. Katherine couldn't believe the instant response her body gave to Lisa's touch. Never had she felt so immediately aroused by anyone, and she pulled Lisa toward her trailing kisses downward from her neck until she reached the ample breast and took Lisa's nipple in her mouth, gently sucking and then with her tongue, stroked the now hard nipple. Lisa let out a husky sexy moan then gently pushed Katherine so she was laying on her back. 'I want you naked........I want to feel your body against mine' Lisa knelt beside her and pulled Katherine's night dress off then her own and tossed them aside then smiled down as Katherine reached up and cupped her breast not taking her eyes from hers. 'You're beautiful Lisa' she said in a soft sexy voice. Then, still looking straight into her eyes, teased her nipple between her finger and thumb said 'I need you.......Make love to me Lisa...... The sight of Katherine's naked form stretched out before her and her words, made Lisa's passion swell up even more. Still kneeling, she leant over inviting Katherine with just a smile, to take her breast in her mouth whilst her hand slowly stroked down from Katherine's abdomen to between her legs. Katherine momentarily broke contact in reaction and let out of deep sigh of pleasure. 'My God Lisa.......I'm so wet for you' Passion overtook both of them now. Katherine again took Lisa's breast in her mouth as she felt Lisa start to explore her, soft and slow at first then with more urgency and felt her finger enter her, then had to push back on the bed as her hips thrust forward in response. Lisa, not breaking the contact, slid next to Katherine and simultaneously looked into her eyes and very very slowly pulled out her wet finger dragging it up and over her clitoris taking her immediately to the brink of orgasm . Katherine's eyes closed involuntarily and her hips rose again as she moaned her pleasure.......this time Lisa inserted two fingers and once again slowing withdrew and slid them over Katherine's most sensitive spot making her once more thrust forward with desire and need........A third time, Katherine felt Lisa's wet finger slowly drawing up to her clitoris, the feelings now making her abandon all awareness of time and place as she felt herself drifting in slow motion, yet with insistence beyond description, towards her release......... and then Lisa stopped....... Katherine's eyes shot open to see Lisa smiling down at her. 'Lisa? 'Oh not so fast my darling.......we do have all night' Hardly believing her lover, Katherine slumped back on the bed and let out a long breath until a smirk mirrored her thoughts and she turned to Lisa. 'Ah....... We have all night do we?' Katherine said as she shifted them both so that now she was overlooking Lisa who was laying on her back. 'We'll see about that' Now it was Katherine's turn to display a mischievous smile. She sat astride her partner and took her hands in hers and moved them above Lisa so that theirs eyes met. So we have all night do we?' Katherine said seductively. Slowly she released her hands and started to kiss downward. Starting with her neck then her breasts, Katherine pushed herself slowly backward, continuing to reign kisses until she found the object of her desire and wrapped both her arms around Lisa's thighs, her mouth an inch from Lisa's mound. She looked up at Lisa, a glint in her eye. 'Well we'll just see about that' Not giving her any chance to do or say anything more, Katherine put her tongue on Lisa's opening, tasting her wonderful scent then slowly licked upward..... 'Katherine.......Oh my God.........' Lisa's arm came to Katherine's shoulder as the feelings swept over her but Katherine was unrelenting...... her tongue licked along her folds and teased Lisa's clitoris once more sending sparks of intense pleasure all over her body. Fire burned within her as she felt her orgasm start from her toes upward........and then........ Lisa opened her eyes to see Katherine once more looking up at her smiling. 'Not so fast my darling.....we have all night don't we?' 'Katherine........KATHERINE........Please!!!!' Katherine chuckled, delighted in her own ability to please and her partner's frustration. 'Please......I need to come.........Katherine!!!' 'Then come for me Lisa' Katherine again explored Lisa with her tongue. Lisa writhed but Katherine firmly held her thighs so she couldn't move from the intenseness of it as she explored her with her tongue in slow sweeping ardent movements. She could feel Lisa's orgasm rising within her as she tried to thrust her hips but Katherine still held her and continued to trail her tongue over the most sensitive part. Anticipating Lisa was very close to orgasm, she slowed slightly causing Lisa to push toward her in an effort to find release - her own passion now fuelled by Lisa's responses quickly bought her own release near. Katherine desperately tried to concentrate on her partner but she could do nothing but succumb to her body's reaction and both women, heightened by each other, suddenly burst into orgasm, each calling out as the powerful waves of passion washed over them again and again. Katherine slowly released herself from Lisa and lay next to her lover. Neither, at first, able to move or even think, they just lay whilst their orgasm's last feelings subsided. Lisa was the first to speak 'Doesn't Star Fleet have some rules about First Contact? You should have warned me!' Both of them hooted with laughter. Lisa pulled a pillow over her mouth to stifle it but Katherine pulled it down so she could look at her face and said in a reproachful voice, 'If I had the energy........I'd' 'Oh yes. You'd what pray tell?' said Lisa imitating the classic Captain Janeway look Katherine couldn't help herself and chuckled 'Belay that. I definitely haven't got the energy!' Serious for a moment, Lisa started to ask 'You did come didn't you? But I didn't...........I haven't........?' Katherine stayed her by placing her finger gently upon her lips. 'Lisa........it was more than wonderful and yes, I did.......It took me by surprise also and.......well......lets just say that's a first for me like that........and I am wondrously content and if you don't stop looking at me like that we'll never get any sleep!' Her look became more serious 'My darling, much as I'd love nothing more than to stay in this bed with you for days, you know I have to be at Headquarters at 0700 and I have to call home for my uniform and.....' It was Lisa's turn to stop her lover continuing. Katherine gathered Lisa to her and the two women cuddled up in each other's arms but sleep wouldn't come to Lisa as reality hit and doubt began to seep from the depths of her mind. *************** When Lisa awoke, Katherine was already dressed and had her bag packed. 'Good morning sleepy head' Katherine walked over to the bed and kissed Lisa gently on the lips. 'I've been down to the front desk and the transport is all repaired. We can leave when we are ready so I suggest, Miss Ross, that you shake a leg!!' Lisa just smiled weakly and it wasn't lost on Katherine' 'I'm sorry my love but you knew I had to be.......' 'I know. It's just that I hoped we'd at least manage breakfast together. You should have woken me' She didn't give Katherine any time to reply but strode to the bathroom emerging a few minutes later dressed and ready to leave. A knock on the door halted any chance of a last private goodbye as the bags were collected and they made their way down to the transport. The two women faced each other in the foyer acutely aware of the many people milling around. 'As soon as my meeting is finished I'll contact you and we can.......' 'Have dinner?' Lisa again finished her sentence but the ironic tone wasn't missed by Katherine. 'Please Lisa don't leave like this' 'Call for Captain Janeway. Please proceed to the transport area immediately' 'Damn' Katherine said 'I have to go Lisa.......I'll call you very soon' She hugged Lisa who returned the embrace warmly. 'I look forward to it Katherine.......and thank you for a wonderful time. I'll see you soon I hope' Lisa's sad smile was the last glimpse Katherine had as she headed off to the transport. Her heart wanted nothing more than to run back to her but the years of Star Fleet training and discipline cast it aside as her mind took over and she was gone. **************** Despite Katherine Janeway's best efforts, Lisa could not be contacted - or she refused to answer her calls. Katherine didn't know which but either way, four days went by before finally she heard something. By this time she had called in too many favours and owed many back but her heart skipped a beat when her desk comm announced she had a message from Philip Redman, the editor of Star News. The face of a middle aged, somewhat weary looking man greeted her. 'Captain Janeway. It's a pleasure to talk to you. Admiral Jacobs contacted me yesterday. I'm sorry, but it's been a little busy here and this is the first chance I've had to get back to you. How can I help?' Katherine managed to keep any emotion from her voice and calmly asked if he could put her in contact with Lisa Ross. 'It's concerning the interview regarding Voyager' she lied 'I had hoped to talk to her but got delayed and now I can't seem to reach her' 'Well Captain, I'm sure she'll call you when she returns. I know how enthusiastic she is about the Voyager story.' 'Returns? From where? 'Oh I'm sorry Captain........but of course, you wouldn't know. Yesterday a new story broke on the Bolian War Criminals Trial being held on Marcos 3 and Lisa volunteered to cover it. I told her that it wasn't necessary for her to go and she could cover it easily from earth but she insisted and I wasn't about to refuse by best reporter. She can be very persuasive when it comes to her work Captain' 'How long do you anticipate she'll be gone Mr Redman' 'Please - call me Philip. I'm not sure. The trials are set for next month and they'll take at least another month to complete so I don't suppose she'll be back for a few weeks yet but I'll be sure to say you called when she next checks in' 'No - thank you. That won't be necessary. I'll catch up with her when she gets back. Thank you for you time.....Philip..... Janeway out' Katherine sank back in her chair trying to gather her thoughts and played over in her mind all that had happened. 'Why Lisa' she said out loud 'Why my love.......why?' *************** As Lisa stepped from the runabout, she took a deep breath and strode purposefully toward the reception area of the Criminal Justice building on Marcos3. She had spent most of the journey busying herself with catching up on the latest news bulletins and beginning to write the start of her report - none of which managed to overcome the ache in her heart and the guilt she felt over leaving without contacting Katherine. It's for the best she told herself but deep down she knew that she didn't even sound in the least bit convincing. She had seen all the messages that Katherine had sent and had, more than once, placed her finger on the reply button but in the end, had not acknowledged any of them knowing her resolve would fade the moment she saw Katherine's face on the view screen......and then it would start all over again. The pain, the heartache - the rejection. And so it was, with a heavy heart, that she pushed the comm on the door to the building and announced her arrival. ***************** 'Katherine! It's wonderful to see you' The two women embraced at the entrance to Belanna's home and she was ushered in before she could reply. 'I'm sorry I didn't give you more notice Belanna but.......' She was interrupted by the familiar figure of Tom Paris striding towards her. 'Katherine! What a great surprise. Come in come in. Let me get you a drink' 'Hello Tom' she said warmly and embraced him, a little too long Belanna noticed. 'Tom.......weren't you due to see the Doctor today?' 'I can easily cancel. I don't want to miss.........' 'No Tom' said Belanna giving her husband a knowing look ' You can't cancel and don't forget you planned to meet Harry before the appointment' 'Ah....yes, of course. Well it's great to see you captain and let's have dinner soon. We can't keep the doctor waiting can we?' he said as he was going out the door. 'You've got a date Tom' called Katherine after him. 'Please, sit down Katherine' said Belanna then walked over to the replicator and ordered two cups of strong coffee. She handed one to Katherine before taking the seat next to her. 'So are you going to tell me what's wrong or do we sit here and make small talk?' Katherine looked at her friend and then into her coffee. 'Is it that obvious? I never could fool you could I Belanna' she said looking up to her and smiling ruefully. 'I don't know quite where to start' 'How about the beginning' ***************** 'Well there's an obvious solution Katherine but in all this you haven't told me how she makes you feel' Janeway baulked at the personal nature of Belanna's question then softened and smiled and looked beseechingly into her coffee cup. 'I've never met anyone like her Belanna. We talked constantly, we laughed all the time.......and she bought out in me such passion I never knew existed. Lisa made me feel alive again.' 'Then you must go to Marcos 3 and find her' 'But I can't just go half-way across the galaxy on some......some love quest!' What about Star Fleet.....what about......And what if she doesn't want to see me again? What if I imagined more than there was. What if......' Belanna just looked at her with arms folded and one eyebrow raised. 'I've not exactly got the greatest track record in matters of the heart Belanna' Belanna took her hands in hers. 'You're Captain Katherine Janeway. Tell Star Fleet to go to hell and if there's a chance for you to be happy grab it - grab it with both hands Katherine and don't let go. I don't know of anyone alive that deserves it more' ******************* Four days later Captain Janeway disembarked from the USS Endeavour and re-materialised in Star Fleet's main building on Marcos 3. She had intended to take extended leave but the Admiral had insisted. 'As from today you are on temporary secondment to the embassy. Take as long as you need' he'd said 'I mean it Katherine, I don't want to see you back here until you want to be. Don't worry about anything' She was touched by the Admiral's sincerity and grateful he had agreed to keep her temporary posting very low key so it was with some welcome anonymity that she quietly settled in to her comfortable quarters. ********************* It was soon obvious that Katherine's posting was to all intents and purposes superfluous. The Admiral had been true to his word and although she offered more than once to get involved with the Embassy work, more out of a sense of duty than any real desire, the Station Commander had taken her aside and made it clear this was a favour the Admiral had called in. 'I don't expect to see you Captain but if you insist, there's a couple of functions where we could do with a show of the uniform but that is ALL. Do I make myself clear? He said with a sparkle in his eye. 'Crystal clear Commander......and thank you' ************************ Lisa Ross sat next to her friend sipping her drink in the very quaint surroundings she had come to regard as her second 'home'. It had been reproduced as an Earth 'Olde English Tea Shoppe' complete with silver service, waitresses dressed in black with frilly white starched aprons and the most delicious selection of cakes imaginable. 'Care for a slice of Victoria sponge Lisa?' her friend asked seeing Lisa apparently daydreaming. 'Hmmm' 'How about mustard on that?' 'Fine' 'Lisa.......you're not listening to me.' Came the sing song voice. 'Lisa!' Lisa turned to her friend startled and realised she had been anywhere but there. 'I'm sorry Anna.......it's just.....' 'It must be love - come on Lisa, spill the beans. I've known you too long to miss the signs. Who is she and why are you on Marcos 3 when you could be with her?' 'It's a long story.' 'Well I don't know about you but this afternoon is completely free......take all the time you need' ********************* 'And that's about it. I left and came to Marcos 3 to cover the War Crimes Trial. I didn't have to of course but I just needed to get away.......I couldn't go through that again Anna' 'And what makes you think she would be like Kayla?' 'She's a Captain in Star Fleet for God's sake. That comes before everything. How could she love me - what could I give her that could compete with that?' 'I don't know Lisa but it seems to me you didn't give her much of a chance to find out' Lisa looked at her friend, startled at how true the words were and how clear they now sounded. 'But what if she is like Kayla? I don't know if I could cope with the fall out' 'I know Kayla hurt you more than one person ever had a right to but this is your life we are talking about. You can't hide forever Lisa. Sometime you've got to trust again and this woman, from what you've told me, just might be worth that trust and she has some of her own emotional baggage to deal with. How do you think finding you gone affected her?' 'I probably broke my promise' Lisa said quietly 'I promised a good friend I would never do anything to hurt her and if she is the person I think she is, then that's exactly what I've done.' 'So what are you going to do about it?' Lisa looked up at her friend her eyes displaying a questioning look.. 'I'll tell you what you're going to do Lisa Ross. Go back to Earth as soon as you can and see her. Talk to her......talk to her and sort this out. You both deserve at least that' ******************* 'Damn these dress uniforms' Katherine Janeway fiddled with her collar once more trying to pull it in to some kind of comfortable position. Nice of the Commander to omit to mention that one of those uniform functions was the day after I arrived! Just put on the act Katherine and you'll get through this....it's not as though you haven't done this before but it makes the Delta Quadrant seem homely just at this minute. 'A battle with the Kazon would be preferable to wearing this damn collar! 'There' she said to herself looking into the mirror finally satisfied with her uniform. 'Wear the smile Katherine, talk the talk and get the hell out of there!' ********************* 'But Philip, why do I have to cover this awful Star Fleet reception?' Lisa looked at the screen pleadingly. 'It's only one more day Lisa and then you can come back. Please? And you owe me one remember?' he replied. 'I guess I do at that.......but we're even after this Philip' Lisa couldn't hide a grin. 'I'll see you in a few days' End Part 2/4 -- Stephen Ratliff ASC Stories Only Forwarding In the Pattern Buffer at: http//trekiverse.crosswinds.net/feed/ Yahoo!
