It's finally here, everyone. It's my first time writing something like this, so I hope you like it.
"Emma, may I come in?"
"Of course, Data."
"It has been a long time since you have run this program. Are you alright, dearest?" he questioned me as he sat in the wooden rocking chair opposite mine. Holding the simulation of my son, I sighed and stroked his face.
"Data, our wedding is tomorrow morning. Brides should be excited about their wedding day. I am ecstatic to be marrying you tomorrow, but I wish…" I swallowed the lump forming in my throat.
"What is it that you wish?"
I bit my lips, "I wish that David was here for this day. I wish you could've met him. Data, what kind of a mother am I? We have these hopes and dreams of raising children together, but I couldn't keep my first child alive. How could you trust me with a child of our own?"
Data stood up and held his arms out and reached for David's simulation, "May I?"
I handed him to Data, feeling the weight lift from my arms. I hated that feeling. It reminded me that my baby had gone to Heaven before me. It reminded me that my son would never grow up, he would never know Data, he would never go to school, never find his first love. My son would never get to do any of those things, because I had failed him.
"I'm a failure." I sobbed.
He placed David back in his crib and pulled me up into an embrace. "You did not fail David. You did everything that was required of you as his mother. The death of David was not your fault. I also wish you could have met Lal. I believe you would have loved her in the way that I could not. One day, we will be ready to have or build a child together and we will be there for our child no matter the circumstance. We will be strong together. You are not a failure. You did not fail David. You have not failed me, and you have not failed this crew."
All of this he whispered to me while my tears ran dry. "Data, have I told you lately how wonderful you are?"
"You did not say 'wonderful', but yesterday at 1532 hours you said I was 'amazing.'" he blinked and smiled down at me.
I laughed a little, "Data, I believe that you are becoming a bit more human every day. You say you don't have emotions, but right now, what I see in your face is the emotion of concern. Thank you, my love."
"I am concerned for you always, but concern is not necessarily an emotion."
I paused, just waiting for what I thought would come next.
"What? No definition of the word or list of synonyms?" I smiled up at him. I could feel my orneriness returning.
"Do you wish for a definition or list of synonyms?" he asked with his head cocked to the side.
I chuckled, "No, that's alright. Can we walk back to my room? All of my bridesmaids are throwing me a bachelorette party and I told them I would be ready for them to come over in about 10 minutes. Hopefully they'll let me go to sleep early, I want to look my best for the man I'm going to marry tomorrow."
"That would be acceptable. I must also prepare for matrimony at 10 hundred hours. I am looking forward to seeing my bride at her best."
Silently, we walked arm in arm back through the dim empty halls to the room that I would spend my very last night in. All of my possessions, except for the last minute items, had already been moved to Data's quarters. In just a matter of hours, I would be married to the man who had saved me countless times and who I fell deeper in love with every day. For the entire five minutes that it took to get to my room, I wore a grin the whole way.
Once in my room, I turned to my soon-to-be husband and kissed him. It was just meant to be a simple good night kiss, but then Data ran his hands down my sides to my waist and pulled me to him and deepened the kiss. My arms found their way around his neck and my hands plunged into his perfectly groomed hair. His lips parted to invite my tongue to dance with his. Surprisingly, he tasted sweet like pomegranate wine. I didn't know how long we were there. Time didn't matter. I didn't want to stop, but he broke the heated moment.
I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. "Wow, Data. You have been holding out on me."
"Emma, dearest, I have many courting and sexual programs available to me. I chose one aspect of one program I believed you would enjoy. Was that kiss satisfactory?"
I blinked several times. "That was way more than satisfactory." I took his hand placed it on my blush stained cheek. "Data, what do you feel, tangibly?"
"I feel your pores, your skin is smooth. Your temperature is elevated."
I guided his hand from my cheek to my neck. I loved the way his skin felt slightly cooler than my own. "What do you feel now?"
"Your heart rate is also elevated."
"It's all cause and effect." I explained. "But now that I know about this program, I want to know what else is in there."
"You will find out tomorrow night, darling. Your guests will be arriving in two minutes. Have an enjoyable evening. I will be waiting at the altar for you."
"Good night Data." This time I did just give him a good night kiss.
As he walked away I saw my bridesmaids coming for me, bottles of wine and and snacks in hand.
"Hi Beverly, come on in. Keiko, I didn't think you were coming. You were able to get someone to watch Molly for you?"
"Of course I did, I wouldn't miss this for anything! Deanna told me that she would be coming later. She had a session to finish up."
"Okay, well, since I didn't do any of the planning, what do we have going on tonight?" I asked everyone.
"Well," Beverly started, "I know that were not as young and crazy as we used to be, but I've got things here for facials and Keiko brought the wine and snacks."
"Real wine, not that synthol stuff." Keiko chimed in.
"Should we wait for Deanna?" I voiced.
"Let's get everything out for the facials, she should be here soon."
"Sounds good to me, but I really don't want a hangover on my wedding day." I told them.
"Don't worry Emma, I've got a cure for just about everything." Beverly told me.
They both started to unpack everything for the facials when the door chimed. I went to answer and let Deanna in.
"Sorry I'm a bit late." she apologized. "Has the party started without me?"
"Not at all, we were just getting things going." I said as I welcomed her in.
My living space seemed so open now with all of my things gone. Thankfully I kept the larger furniture there instead of moving it elsewhere. Someone had turned on some music and we drank, ate, and talked.
Data's POV
As I was arriving back at home, I met Geordi, Will, and Miles outside my door.
"Good evening. Might I ask why you are all congregating outside my quarters?"
"Data, tonight is the last night you are a bachelor. We've got a party planned and there is no way you are getting out of it." Will explained.
"I must feed Spot. I…"
"I already took care of Spot, well, I had Barkley feed her. She is picky about the people she likes." Geordi explained. "Now, come on. We're going to holodeck three."
I found it difficult to say 'no' to my friends, so I went with them.
"Might I ask what we will be doing at this party?"
Geordi turned back to me, "It's a mystery." he said with a smile.
"The game is afoot!"
Emma's POV
At 5:30 in the morning, I was awake. The others were still asleep and wouldn't be getting up until 0700, but there was no way I could drift back off. I got up and went to the restroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. The sage green silk nightgown I was wearing wrinkled, my hair was a disaster, and my mouth tasted awful. I opened the mirrored cabinet reached for my toothbrush and toothpaste. After a thorough brushing, I put everything away and began to tackle the mess that was my hair. All I did was brush it, the ladies and I were going to the salon later to get our hair and nails done properly.
Sneaking out of the bathroom and back to my bedroom, I changed out of my pajamas and into black leggings and a soft pink tunic. I needed to take a walk, so after putting on some ankle boots and pinning my communicator to my shirt, I quietly left. I chose a direction and started walking. I found myself headed for Ten Forward. "Breakfast it is, I guess." I mumbled to myself.
Walking through the door, I noticed that there were only two people there. The bartender, Josh, whom I ordered coffee and a bagel from, and someone else enjoying a quiet breakfast.
I walked over to the loan patron with my toasted bagel and black coffee in hand, "Do you mind if I join you, Captain?"
Placing his cup of earl grey back down on the saucer, he looked up at me, "Not at all Lieutenant. Please." He gestured to the chair opposite himself. "You are awake very early. Is everything alright Miss. Young?"
"Perfectly, Captain. I simply couldn't sleep."
"I've heard that brides tend to be nervous on their wedding day. Is that, perhaps, the reason for your restlessness?" He asked while picking at his croissant.
"Oh, on the contrary Captain." I beamed, "I'm extremely excited. I'm going to have a hard time not running down the aisle. Thank goodness I'll have Geordi there to hold onto so I remember to walk." I bit into my breakfast.
"The only time I had ever felt that much excitement was when I commanded the Stargazer."
"Were you ever married, Sir?"
"Oh me? No, never. There was a time when I had thought about it, but I ended up sailing the stars instead."
He sounded as if he really missed whoever it was he once thought of spending his life with.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry." I said sipping my coffee.
"Not at all, Miss Young. If you were prying, I would not have answered."
"Thank you for letting me join you for breakfast, Sir, and thank you for officiating our wedding."
"It's my pleasure. I will see you at Ten Hundred hours."
He smiled at me and I nodded, "Yes, Sir." and left to go back to my room.
I stared at my gown hanging on the outside of my closet. Three more hours and I would be wearing this gown for the first and last time. I heard a knock outside my bedroom door.
"Emma, may I come in?" came Deanna's voice from the other side.
"Yes." I called to her.
"It's just about time for everyone to start getting up." she told me as she came through the door. "Oh, I guess you've been up for a while. Is everything alright?"
"Deanna, everything is wonderful, I just feel like this day is going to take forever! I can't wait to finally be married. I just hope that everything goes smoothly. I mean, we invited so many people, but only got half of the RSVPs back. That's how many I planned for when I had Data create both the chapel and reception holodeck programs. What if unexpected guests show up? What if the ship is attacked in the middle of of us saying our vows? What if something happens to the warp core and I'm not there to fix it? What if…"
"Emma, slow down." Deanna reached her hand up to my shoulder. "I don't think that anything bad is going to happen today, but even if it does, you're still going to be married. Data, your husband, will always do his best to be there for you. If there are more guests than you planned, it's not that hard for the computer to make more tables and chairs. Now, come out of here and relax. Have you had breakfast?"
She physically pulled me from my room to be with my bridesmaids. "Actually, I dined with the Captain quite early this morning."
"Oh? I bet that was interesting." she smiled at me while she gathered up her things from the night before. Keiko and Beverly were already dressed and eating breakfast at the glass dining table. "I'm going to change my clothes and freshen up, then I'll be out and I want to hear about it."
I nodded and went to get a cup of hot tea from the replicator. "Tea, chamomile, hot." It took two seconds for it to materialize, but once it did I took a sip of it and felt my whole body relax. "Good morning ladies. How did you sleep?" I quarried while coming to sit with them.
"Oh, I slept very well." Beverly said looking up from her bowl of fruit and yogurt. "Keiko, on the other hand.."
"Shhhhhhh. Not so loud. Beverly, please say you brought your miracle hangover pills with you." she whispered.
"I will give them to you, but you have to finish your breakfast first. You can't take them on an empty stomach." Beverly explained.
"Never again will I get wine from Deep Space six." Keiko vowed as she took a spoonful of rice porridge into her mouth.
Beverly took the medicine from her jacket pocket and handed two pills to Keiko. "Once you take these, it will only take a few seconds to get rid of that headache and your blood alcohol level will be back to normal.
Deanna came back from the bathroom looking quite refreshed. "So, Emma, how was breakfast with the Captain?" she asked as she ordered her own breakfast.
"It was nice. We talked about our most exciting moments in life. He said his was when he was made Commander of the Stargazer."
"You know, Emma, Jean-Luc and I have breakfast quite often together. You and Data should join us some time." Beverly offered as she sipped her coffee.
"Thanks, I'll mention it to Data and see what he says."
We finished breakfast and made our way to the salon for our mani/pedis, makeup, and updos. After an hour and a half of pampering, it was back to my quarters to finally put on our dresses. I made sure I went to the bathroom before I put my dress on.
"Ladies, you look gorgeous!" They were wearing floor length merlot skirts and the matching top had a long sheer wrap that could be worn many different ways.
"No one should outshine the bride. Come on, let's get you into your dress. I have something for you. She took a long black box from out of her overnight bag. We walked back into my bedroom and she opened the box.
"You already have the something new, here is the something old, borrowed, and blue." She explained as she handed me a white lace garter with a blue ribbon bow. "I wore this on my wedding day. I want it back."
"Beverly, thank you so much."
"You're welcome. I also got you another garter for Data to toss at the reception."
"Beverly, you really shouldn't have. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful friend."
I put the garters on and then she helped me into my gown and arrange the white sheer veil with gold embroidered flowers on the edge. None of my bridesmaids had seen my dress yet, so when I walked out of my room for the last time, all they could do was stare.
"Emma, you are gorgeous." Deanna was the first to speak up.
"I agree." voiced Keiko, "I mean, I know that Data doesn't have a concept of beauty, but today, I think he'll get it."
"There's only 20 minutes until you walk down the aisle. We should get going." Beverly announced.
Suddenly the door chimed. "Who is it?" I called.
"It is Data."
"Doesn't he know it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony?" Beverly whispered to me.
I just shrugged.
"Go back in your room. I'll take care of this." she told me and I did.
A moment later, Beverly came into my room. "I explained to him that he wasn't supposed to see you right now and he told me he already knew. He needs to speak with you. There's nothing wrong. He promised me he would close his eyes. We'll leave you two alone for a moment."
I sighed in relief. I'm glad he wasn't having second thoughts. The ladies and I traded places so that I was now in the living area and they were in my bedroom. I saw the door was still open so i called out, "Are you still there, Data?"
"I am here."
"Is everything alright? Why are you here?"
"Everything is fine, dearest. Come to the left side of the door, close your eyes, and hold out your hand." I did as he asked. "I am still not proficient at this, but it is something I wish to do with you before we are married." He paused, "God in Heaven, please bless our marriage. We will work to honor each other and you. Please be with our children. We would have been pleased to share in this moment with them, but as they are not with us; we ask that they know we miss them in their absence. In Jesus' name, Amen."
I was a mess. Thank goodness my makeup was waterproof. "Data, I love you."
"I care for you as well. I am looking forward to being able to see you. I must go so the ceremony can begin."
He released my hand and I heard his footsteps diminish down the hall. Deanna was the first out of my room. "I don't know what just happen, but I just got an overwhelming feeling of pure love from out here." Then she looked at me and saw I had tears running down my face. "Happy crying?"I nodded and I was enveloped by three pairs of arms in a huge hug.
We arrived at Holodeck 1 and I could hear the music for the wedding party start. Data and the Captain were already in place. Beverly was first in line, then Deanna and Will, next Keiko and Miles, finally Geordi and I were at the back.
"Are you ready for this?" Geordi quietly asked me.
"I'm going to need you to keep me from running down the aisle."
He chuckled, "Don't worry. I got you." He offered me his arm and the Bridal fanfare began. We entered the chapel and everyone rose from their seats. I looked around at the cream walls and the dark stained wood that made up the pews, baseboards, and crown molding. There were red and golden roses everywhere, including my bouquet. Then I saw Data standing at attention in his formal uniform. Seeing him in formal black and Starfleet gold was a delicious treat that I wanted to savor. He had a single red rose pinned to his jacket, his hair was perfect, but as soon as our eyes met, my heart quickened and so did my pace. Geordi just looked at me and I knew that I had to breathe and go slow. After what seemed like both a million years and two seconds, we were at the altar. Geordi gave me a hug and then took his place on the other side of his best friend.
Data reached out and his long elegant fingers closed around my hands. I smiled and he returned it. The Captain then began to address our guests.
"Dearly beloved friends, we gather today to celebrate…"
"NOW hang on just a moment, you are not going to start this party without me!" A disembodied voice came out of nowhere. I knew that voice anywhere and so did the rest of the crew. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Sorry I didn't get to give the bride away." I looked to my left and dressed in an admiral's uniform was none other than Q.
"Data, may I have my hands back for a moment, please?" I requested as sweetly as I could. He let my hands go and I turned and poked my finger into Q's chest. "Q don't you even think about ruining my wedding day! I can't make you leave, but if you're going to stay you're going to sit down, shut your mouth, and not do a thing. Do you understand me?"
He took my hand that I had poked him with and patted it. "I wouldn't dream of it. In fact, all the Q want to do is observe. So, they sent moi. Data, you're going to have your hands full with this one." Q smiled and then proceeded to sit in an empty spot in the front row.
I turned back to Data and breathed a sigh of relief. At least Q hasn't done anything. Yet. Once again my hands were in Data's and we nodded to Captain Picard to continue.
"As I was saying," he began again, "We are gathered today to celebrate the union of Mr. Data Soong and Miss Emma Louise Young. Marriage is one of the oldest institutions there is anywhere in the galaxy. It is sacred and honorable. Rightly regarded, it is the highest and happiest of human relationships, it is the foundation of home and the bulwark of many societies. One of the many things that Emma and Data believe is that love is a choice. It is a choice to think the best and do the best for another person. Beloved friends and Q, we are here now to witness the confession that these two have made the choice to love each other for the rest of their existence. They have decided to write their own vows. A vow is a solemn promise, an oath, a commitment.
Mr. Data, are you prepared to give your vow to Miss. Emma?"
"I am."
"Then let's hear it."
Data nodded. "Emma, we met under unfortunate circumstances, but as we became acquainted we soon discovered our compatible companionship. Each day brought new challenges and we faced them together. You have supported me through many difficult situations. My neural pathways have become so accustomed to you that if you failed to appear, I would be running constant self-diagnostics. Emma, I vow before you, our guests, and our God that I will do my best to be the husband you need. I will serve and protect you. I will care for you in sickness and in health. I will honor you until I am permanently deactivated. My adoration for you is unending."
"Miss. Emma, are you prepared to give your vow?"
"I am." I nodded. "Data, before we met, we already, unknowingly, shared a commonality. It was that thing we shared that brought us together. You have been there for me since that day in every way possible. I know that I am constantly in your thought processes along with many other things, but to know that I am there gives me great comfort. Data, you are always on my mind too. Today I vow to you, before our guests and God, that I will try to be the best wife I can possibly be for you. I will serve and protect you. I will care for you. I will honor and love you for the rest of my days."
Captain Picard then asked, "Are there rings to be given as symbols for this union?" Geordi then handed two gold rings to the Captain. "The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign or symbol of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal people in matrimony. As a circle is unending, so is the bond these two share. Data, take Emma's ring and put it on her left ring finger then repeat after me." he did. "I give this ring to you Emma, as a constant reminder of my devotion to you. I dedicate myself in righteousness to the pursuit of our mutual good and happiness and I willingly and gladly share with you all that I possess till death or permanent deactivation shall part us."
Data did not take his eyes off me while he repeated his vow perfectly.
Captain Picard then turned to me and I looked at him, then Data, and then our guests. "I told myself not to cry." I addressed them with a laugh and tears running down my face. Knowing he would say something, I turned my gaze to Data. "Data, it's alright. These are happy tears." He nodded and brushed his thumb against my cheek, effectively wiping my tears away. I could hear "awes" from the congregation and that made me smile.
I took the ring meant for Data, placed it on his left ring finger, and repeated my vows, not even remotely as smoothly as Data did.
"For as much as Data and Emma have consented together and pledged their faith to each other in wedlock, and have witnessed their vows before their God and in company of friends and loved ones...and Q, and have sealed the same by giving and receiving rings, therefore; by the authority vested in me as the Captain of the USS Enterprise of Starfleet and the Federation of Planets, I pronounce that they are husband and wife! Data, you may kiss your bride."
Our kiss was short and sweet, not peck, but not over done either. Data must have done some research on the appropriate length of a wedding kiss. Because he was the one to pull away first.
"It is now with great pleasure," Captain Picard announced, "that I present to you, Mr. and Mrs Data Soong!"
As claps, cheers, and whistles rang throughout the congregation, Data and I walked back down through the aisle and exited the holodeck. While Captain Picard made the arrangements for the reception program to begin and get our guests settled, Data and I took a moment to ourselves.
"Data, I feel like the happiest woman in the entire galaxy right now!" I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a proper kiss.
"I am very pleased to be your husband, dearest." he said after I broke our lip lock. "Are you ready to go back in for the reception?"
"Absolutely." I beamed at him. "Oh, one thing before we go back in. If you hear multiple people tapping their glasses with the silverware, that means they want us to kiss. I don't know why, but that's a tradition that has stuck through the centuries."
"Ah." was all he said and then took out his communicator from his inner jacket pocket. "Data to Riker, we are ready to come back." Will's gift to us was the entertainment for the evening, so that meant jazz music.
"We're ready for you Data." came Will's reply.
As we entered the holodeck once again, I saw our ballroom from our first date. There were round tables covered with white tablecloths and gold runners down the center. The center pieces were made up of the same flowers in my bouquet. The chairs were white with a merlot ribbon tied at the back. The plates were white and the cutlery was gold. There were wine glasses full of merlot at each place setting as well as water goblets.
"Ladies, gentlemen, and Q. Let's give a warm welcome to the brand new Mr. and Mrs. Data Soong!" shouted Will over the crowd. Our friends cheered as Will struck up the band. Data and I held our hands up together triumphantly as we made our way to the head table. Once we were settled and everyone was quiet again, the toasts began. Geordi's toast was endearing and Beverly's toast was beautiful. We ate, drank, and kissed many times (not only due to the clinking of silverware on glasses).
At one point, Data got up and went over to Will and the band. He whispered something to Will who nodded back. Data then got up on stage and took the microphone. "Emma, this is my wedding gift to you." He turned and nodded to Will who started the band.
"Fly me to the moon.
Let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand.
In other words, baby kiss me.
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true.
In other words, I am fond of you
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words, please be true.
In other words, I am fond of you."
My heart melted and everyone clapped. Data came back to the table. "Husband, I love you so very much. Did you and Will plan that?"
"Yes I had spoken to him about it two weeks ago."
"My husband, you are amazing."
The night continued with us cutting the cake, the bouquet toss, which Deanna caught and the garter toss, which Will caught. Data and I talked about what these traditions meant and how they were really just supposed to be for fun and not taken seriously. I did have to tell him which garter to toss though. Soon it was time for dancing and we were the first on the floor. The lights dimmed and a spot light was on us. Our waltz began and Data's strong lead made my heart beat faster and time had no meaning.
Data's POV
Voices of Spring by Johann Strauss began to play softly in the background as I waltzed with my wife. My wife. I have a wife now. She is most precious to me. I viewed her form, but more than that I memorized every detail of her, from the pores that were radiating warmth from her soft hands, to her intricately placed fiery hair as the light danced with her natural highlights, to her sparkling cerulean eyes as they looked up at me.
Was I prepared for tonight? I began to access the file I had created and properly titled as Song of Solomon. I began to wonder if her thighs would be as soft as her hands. Would she enjoy the taste of my tongue like she had before?
"Are you ready for what I promised I would show you tonight?" .
She blushed and answered , "I believe so."
"Soon, my dearest. I know your anticipation is great." Our waltz was over and our friends came out on the dance floor. We went and mingled with those who were still at their own tables. When we got to Q's table he stood up and kissed both of our cheeks.
"Data, Emma, I must bid you goodnight. I have gathered all the information the Q require. It really wasn't my idea of a party, but I'm just the errand boy." He rolled his eyes. "Data, I have a little wedding gift for you. Au revoir, mes amis!" Just like that, he vanished.
I replayed the past 27 minutes and 32 seconds. Something was wrong. I began to run a self-diagnostic. I took hold of Emma's hands and began to pull her towards the door in haste.
"Data, what's going on?"
"Emma, I do not wish to leave our guests but even more so, I do not wish to let this opportunity pass, we must go to our home."
"Data, what are you talking about?" a look of concern grew on her face.
"Q's gift. Emma, I need you. Now. I do not understand this."
"Data, are you experiencing an emotion?"
"I believe so. I NEED you."
Her face changed to a look of surprised understanding and then declared. "We're going home right now. We are NOT missing this!"
I was unable to concentrate on anything except this growing need for my wife. On the way there, I had given my communicator to her. She contacted Geordi and explained what had occurred with Q and that we would be absent from the rest of the reception.
As soon as we were through the door, my need was too great to wait any longer. I pulled her to me and her arms found their way around my neck and my mouth was on hers. Her velvet lips against mine caused my internal temperature to rise slightly. I pulled away, remembering her need to breathe, but as I did so, a new sensation caused an audible exhalation.
"Data, the emotion you're experiencing is called desire. Now, help me unzip my dress and we will explore our desire together."
With speed and delicacy I had her out of her attire. As I was standing up to remove my own garments, I paused. Emma, her face I had memorized perfectly, but the rest of her body; her shoulders were narrow, her supple breasts accentuated her bell shaped figure exquisitely…
"Ahem"
My gaze turned back to her face, which was the color of roses.
"Is there something you see that you like, Mr. Data?"
"Oh, very much so." it came out as a whisper.
She smiled and sauntered toward me and began to unclasp my jacket. Once removed, she then rid me of my shirt and undershirt. I grew impatient and picked her up, cradling her back and beneath her knees. Her arms were again around my neck. I brought her to our bed and placed her in the center. She laughed and the sound was the most beautiful music I had ever heard. I swiftly discarded my shoes, socks, pants and undergarments.
I needed to know how she felt beneath my skin. I longed to explore and commit to memory every detail of my bride. My mouth found hers but did not stay long. My tongue traversed to her breasts where I took her into my mouth and teased the sensitive skin there. I heard her breath hitch and a moan escaped her lips. This intrigued me. If I manually stimulated her other breast, would the same reaction occur? I put my inquiries to the test. She did not react in the same manner, so I tried both at once. This resulted in not only a moan, but also my name. My reaction was to continue working my way to her stomach. Her skin so silky but increasing in temperature each time my fingers continued to brush across her most delicate points.
Emma then did something that I did not anticipate. She took my left hand guided it downwards. I looked through my files on forms of pleasure and found what it was that she had wanted me to do. I obliged and her breathing became erratic and her hips bucked.
"Gentle, Data, gentle." she instructed between gasps. I did so and her breathing slowed. She pulled my face toward hers and kissed me, opening her mouth just enough to invite my tongue in. I could feel how wet she was becoming. I suddenly felt her hand working to drive my need of her further. I pulled my lips from hers momentarily.
"Emma, I need to be inside you. I will be a gentle as possible."
"I'm right there with you." she whispered back.
I found myself between her rounded thighs, kissing and licking each one in turn before aligning myself with her. Once I began to move, her cries of pleasure increased. Her heals found their ways to my shoulders and planted themselves. This new angle brought on completely new sensations for both of us.
"Oh….
Data….
I'm….
Ah!"
"I am….
right there…..
with you!"
We fell into, what Emma would describe as, complete bliss.
.
.
.
.
Completely relaxed and covered in cozy blankets, Emma was in my arms and nearly asleep. I could feel my desire fading quickly. I had one more thing to do before Q's gift disappeared completely. "Emma." I whispered into her ear.
"Hmmm, yes Data?" she answered, sleepily acknowledging me.
