"Question of Love"


Author: Lt. (JG) Alexandra Faal, Gregory Thorton II
Earthdate: June 23, 2385
Location: Chez Orleans/Alexandra’s quarters

Alexandra and Gregory had stayed at Chez Orleans, like Kassia had suggested and ordered a sumptuous lunch with white wine. As Gregory poured the last of the bottle into their wine glasses, he found himself starring at her. Her face was beautiful. Her eyes were captivating. He pulled himself away and smiled lifting his glass.

"A toast," he said. "To my beautiful lunch partner and may we share many more lunches." A vision of him taking her in his arms and kissing her came to mind, but he didn't act on the impulse. Instead, he took a drink of his wine and gazed at her again. Kassia was right, he thought. Alexandra Faal was someone he definitely wanted to get to know better . . . in many ways. What was he saying he chided himself. He'd only just met her!

"Thank you, sir. That's very nice of you." Alexandra replied while taking an sip of her white wine with an gentle smile while looking at him with her deep, dark eyes.

"So you're a counselor?" he asked curiously, barely able to concentrate on his own questions. His mind was becoming to distracted by other thoughts. "Did you always want to be a counselor?" he asked. "Or did you just stumble upon the talent, like Kassia?" Her eyes were so dark . . . he could lose himself in their depth.

"My mother is part of the Betazoid royal family, my father a Fleet Captain now, so I always wanted to join Starfleet." Alexandra told him while eating a piece of chocolate, then started licking it slowly.

"Oh, my dear . . ." he said, as he watched her carefully. "Has anyone told you how absolutely beautiful you are?" He reached across the table slowly and took her hand. He lifted it to his lips and kissed it gently.

"Thanks, I guess since you just met me..."

His face was flushed. He pulled on his jacket and fanned air into it a bit. "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" he asked. Yet even with the heat, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Alexandra started to take off her uniform jacket, her short red hair was sweating a bit. It was getting an bit hot in the place. "You're not lying! It's very, very hot in this place...may I say you're the most handsome man I've ever seen."

This took Gregory's heart away. Though he had had a sort of crush on Kassia, it had never gone beyond friendship. And though there had been women, there was something about Alexandra that was different. It was even more that what he was feeling, only he couldn't explain it. Suddenly, he got up from his chair and walked behind her. He slowly put his hands on her shoulders. He then brushed her red hair to the side to reveal her neck. Tenderly, he planted a kiss there. His breath was thick with wanting. "I'm sorry if I'm a bit forward. I . . . I just can't seem to help myself, Alexandra." He brushed the hair to her other shoulder and planted another kiss to the other side of her neck.

The young Betazoid moaned in pleasure then put her small hands over the scars that was on her neck, "That feels so damn good, Gregory...do you believe in love at first sight?"

"I didn't . . ." Gregory replied as he nibbled her ear. He then slowly turned her chair around to look at her. He then gently took her hand away from her neck. "Until now . . ." Tenderly he leaned forward and began kissing her, caressing her face and hair. He then began kissing down her chin and around here cheeks. He then began kissing her neck. The scars that were there were nothing. He wanted to make whatever pain she had go away . . She was beautiful no matter what and he wanted her to know that.

She moaned more while looking at Gregory as he gently kissed her, "Now what...what do we do now?"

For a moment Gregory looked into her eyes. "Alexandra . . . If we were alone, I would ravish you!" He smiled gently, but his eyes spoke the truth as he kissed her again, taking her breath away.

"My apartment is not far away..even my office is not that far away but I don't want my boss see what I can do." she told him while kissing him back, then take his hand and licks it.

A low moan escaped him. "Your apartment then . . . I assume it's closer than mine . . ." He kissed her again passionately. "Lead and I will follow, my lady," he said, slowly relinquishing all, but her hand.

Alexandra walked slowly towards her posh looking apartment that was just an few feet away, after getting to her new home that was filled with pictures, statues of Betazoid goddesses, and other things, the young woman looked back. "Make yourself at home and I will put something on that you will like," the young Betazoid replied to the older man while walking towards her bedroom to undress.

Gregory could hardly keep his head clear. All he could think of was holding Alexandra. Kissing her, Touching her . . . And he was hot. He took off his jacket and put it on the couch beside him. He then began to unbutton some buttons on his shirt. He took a breath in trying to get oxygen into his lungs, but he still felt like he was fighting for it. And the passion building in him was beyond anything he had ever experienced before. He waited for her to reappear fearing he would burst before she would come back.

Alexandra started humming from the next room. After a few minutes of waiting the young woman walked in wearing an pink Betazoid night gown, "So what do you think, Gregory?"

Gregory's jaw dropped. She was a vision of beauty. "You're like an angel," he said, as he stood and walked to her. He caressed the hair from her face and traced her lips with his fingers. "I can't wait for you any longer . . . Alexandra . . ." He possessed her with a kiss. "I need you . . . " he said as he pulled just a breath away from her. "Do you need me? Tell me . . ." His voice was low and deep, filled with his desire.

"I do need you...even though I don't know you well . . . For some reason I do need you, and I've been an bad little girl." Alexandra said with a grin as she touched his face gently. She then took his hand placing it on her chest, "Can you feel my heart beating?"

He felt the rapid pulse. He then let his hands wander as he nibbled his way down to her heart and kissed her just above it, as if leaving his own personal mark on it. A mark of tenderness. He then stood and scooped her up into his arms, capturing her lips in another kiss. "Time for bed, my dear," he said as he kissed her again. With ease he carried her into the bedroom.
