Samaire took the day off. It was rare but she needed to take the day. She stood in her bedroom and looked around the modifications she had had done while they were in spacedock. It was bigger and the walk in wardrobe was now suitable for a couple, not a single person. She had had the cabin modified to have another bedroom added to the 2 already in it so it was now a 3 bedroom cabin, something her cat enjoyed as she now could sleep in there and not be bothered by Skylah and her friends and by Liam and Samaire taking over the master bedroom.

Samaire calmly hit her comm. “McBride to Liam Reece.”

Liam was currently down in Marine County, in the Thunder Dome, working out, when suddenly his combadge chirped and the voice he heard made him grin. He finished the set he was working on and put the weights down.

After grabbing his combadge, he tapped it. "Reece here, Sweetheart. What's cooking?"

"When you have time, can you meet me in my cabin please?"

"I was just finishing up my workout. I'll come right up. See you in a few minutes, Sam." He then shut down the channel and collected his things.

Good to his word, a few minutes later, he was outside Samaire's quarters. He reached up and pressed the door chime. While he waited, he took hold of the towel that was around the back of his neck.

Samaire opened the door and smiled. "Hello Marine."

"Yes, Ma'am," he replied with a grin. "I heard that a very sexy Starfleet officer was in need of a dashing Marine to come spend time with her and her niece." He winked at her.

“Just me, Skylah is at school.” Samaire stepped back and waved him in.

"At school school, or homeschooling over at the Charles', with her little boyfriend…what was his name again?" He followed her inside, the doors sliding shut behind him.

“Hendor” Came the response. “And School School.” Samaire led him into the living room. “I asked Engineering to add some things to the cabin.” she waved a hand towards Skylah's room, there was a second door. "Added another bedroom, and it shares a bathroom with Skylah's. And in my bedroom..."

"Another bedroom? Is someone moving in?" He asked with a grin. "Or is it in case she has a friend do a sleepover?" He followed her to her bedroom as he spoke.

“A guest room” She replied, and she led him to the Ensuite. “I had it made bigger in here.” she said “And.. the walk in closet has been enlarged for two people”

His ready grin grew larger. "Are you planning on inviting some stud to move in with you?" He stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her, his muscles still slightly enlarged from his workout.

“Well there is this guy in security..” She teased.

"Security?!" He asked in mock disdain. "That's it!" He released his hold on her, then took hold of her left wrist and dragged her over to the bed. Once he sat down on its edge, he pulled her facedown, across his lap. Then, after gently holding the back of her neck with his left hand, he started to spank her ass with his right, putting just enough force in his strikes to be playful, yet flirty at the same time.

"You..will..never..trade down..from..Marines…to Security!" He stopped and started to gently rub her warm ass. "Do I make myself clear, young lady?!"

Samaire moaned and nodded “yes” she had barely moved during the spanking but her body had definitely warmed.

He smirked slightly. "Good girl." He then released his hold on her. "Now, I need to take a shower. If you will be a good girl, then you can join me." He paused a beat, his smirk growing bigger. "Of course, if you decide to be a bad girl, you can still join me."

Sam lifted her head and looked at him. “And here I was just showing you the changes I had made so you could move in” She whispered.

He pulled her up and down onto his lap. He then kissed her deeply and passionately. When they finally came up for air, he lightly pressed his forehead to hers. "Thank you," he whispered softly. "I love you so much, sweetheart!"

She wriggled against him. “Go Shower” she whispered. “If you want I will come with you, but you need a shower”

He nodded his head slightly and grinned. "If you'd like to join me, I'd love it if you were in there with me."

Samaire smirked and said "hmmm, and would it just be a shower?"

He gave her a very cheeky grin. "Ma'am, like I was always taught, battle plans never survive past the first encounter."

"Ah well..." she checked the Chrono. "I guess I could spare 10 minutes to shower with you."

He smiled at that. "Then I promise to behave myself. A few kisses might slip through though, just giving you fair warning."

"Hmmm" Samaire slid off his lap. "A pity."

His eyes went wide in surprise. In a flash, he was on his feet, and had her back in his arms. And pressed up against the bulkhead behind her, as he kissed her deeply, his hands moving over her body, undoing her uniform.

Samaire laughed into his mouth as they kissed and she tugged on his pants.

Soon, they were both free of their clothing and had stumbled into the shower stall, where they spent the next thirty minutes, getting dirty, then clean.

Afterwards, while they were drying off, he smiled at her. "The place really does look great, honey. Thank you for doing this." He moved over to her and placed a gentle kiss on top of her left shoulder.

“Well.. I figured you could move some stuff in here... for now.”Samaire said softly as she headed to get dressed.

"Well, I hope so," he said with a grin, embracing her warmly. "Especially as we are engaged." His eyes twinkled at the mention of it.

“And one day it will be all your things.” She sent him another smile and pulled on jeans.

Nodding, he finished getting dressed as well. "When do you want to tell Skylah?" He asked as he slipped on a pair of loafers. "She should be told, before anyone else."

“After this mission, I will tell her.” Samaire said with a smile.

"Can I be there, or…is it just something between the two of you, this time around?" He asked with a soft smile.

“You can be there but I need to tell her when things settle down after this mission.” Samaire smiled.

He nodded in agreement. "Totally understandable." He got a bit quiet, then added, "I just hope she likes the idea as much as we do."

“She likes you. I think she will be fine with the idea.” Sam said with a smile, “So I am on a day off, and I have no one to eat lunch with.”

"Well then," he replied with a grin. "It's a good thing for you that I'm all done for the day. Or didn't you notice that I was putting on civies too?"

“Then would the Marine in my room escort me to lunch?” Samaire finished buttoning her shirt.

He snapped to attention and saluted her smartly. "Ma'am, it would be my honor to escort you anywhere you wish to go!" A playful smirk broke across his face as he finished speaking.

Sam laughed. “Come on then” She said “Lets go get lunch”

He relaxed and turned, extending his left hand to her. "Where would you like to eat, my love?"

Sam took his hand and let him lead her from her cabin. One day it would be their cabin.

"Sweetie?" He asked again as they started walking hand in hand. This felt perfect to him.

“Hmm?” she asked as she looked up at him with a smile.

He shook his head and chuckled softly, before leaning in to kiss her cheek. "What quadrant are you in right now, my love? I asked you, where would you like to eat?"

“Oh sorry, I was just blanking out, happens. There is a new burger place, on deck 10.”

He pulled her in closer and put his arm around her shoulders. "Happens to the best of us, sweetheart. And the burger joint on deck 10, it is!"

Sam leaned into his side as they walked. Spacing out was common among the crew of the Archeron, but she rarely had experienced it herself. “I hear it's good,” she said softly.

"Well, if it isn't, I know a great place. I used to go to it all the time, back when I was here before. So did my brothers. Heck, I think there's still a picture of us up on the wall that the owner put regulars on."

“If it survived the past battles” Sam said with a laugh.

"Oh, it's still there," he said with an assured grin. Kyle and I have lunch together there, once a week."

“Ah” Sam smiled. “Well we shall see if that turns into a place of last resort.”

Liam chuckled. "It's a plan, sweetheart!"

They found the restaurant and found a booth at the back of it. Sam sat curled up against him in the booth while they read the menu.

"Well," Liam began as he held Samaire close to his left side. "I think I'll get the classic cheeseburger, with bacon and pickle chips, wiiiiith….sweet potato fries and a root beer float." He looked at Samaire and grinned. "What about you, honey?"

Sam considere the menu and said “I’ll just have the Chicken and Mushroom burger. No fries and a lemonade”

The young Bolian taking their order gave them a bright smile and nodded. "Excellent choices. I'll be back in a few minutes with them both." He then bowed his head slightly towards them, then turned and hustled off to the kitchen.

Liam sat back in the booth. Turning his head to Samaire, he gave her a soft kiss on her lips. "This place does look fun! I hope the food is just as good."

“Hmm, It smells like it will be good,” Samaire replied with a smile.

He nodded and smiled.

A few moments later, the waitress brought out their drinks. After she left, Liam picked his up in a toast. "To us, and wherever life takes us, sweetheart."

Smiling, she tapped her drink to his and kissed his lips. “Indeed.”

A soft, happy sound warbled in his throat when she kissed him. After taking a drink, he put it down and asked, "So, what would you like to do after lunch?"

“Hmm, spend time with you,” Samaire replied with a smile.

"That sounds like a great way to spend your day." He winked at her and was about to kiss her again, when the waitress returned, this time with their food.

"Enjoy!" She said cheerfully. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to flag me down." She gave them another bright smile. It always made her happy to see two people together, who were so very clearly in love with one another.

After the waitress left them, Liam lifted his arm, to allow Samaire to move if she wanted to. "Well, it certainly does look and smell delicious!"

Samaire moved to begin to eat. “Yes it does.” She took a bite, chewed and swallowed “Mmm yum”

He smiled as he watched her start to enjoy her meal. He then picked up his burger and took a bite. The amount of perfectly balanced flavour that assaulted his taste buds, almost made him close his eyes and moaned out loud. Instead, he finished the food that was in his mouth and said, "Great choice, Sam!"

She wiped her mouth with a napkin. “I had heard good things about this place,” She said with a smile. “Good to know it was all true.”

He nodded as he quietly chewed another bite. When he finished it, he asked, "What would you like for dessert?"

She looked at the burger and smiled. “After this? I will pass”

He chuckled softly. "Fair enough. Do you want to go to the arboretum? Or somewhere else?"

Samaire considered it. “How about the holodeck?”

He nodded as he pulled out his compact PADD. "Okay, give me a sec…done! We have holodeck five for the next three hours." He put the device away and smiled at her. "Do you have a program in mind?"

“No, do you?”

He thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Wanna see one of my favorite places on Earth?"

“Sure” She smiled at him.

Once they finished their lunches. They stood and left the restaurant, then made their way down to the holodeck in question.

Once they arrived outside the holodeck, Liam entered the program in question and activated the system. "You ready, sweetheart?"

Samaire nodded. “Yes, so where are we going?”

"Home," he said with a grin. The large double doors parted, revealing a quiet-looking neighbourhood. Taking her hand, Liam led Samaire inside.

Once the doors slid shut, the scene came to life. Bird song and children laughing could be heard softly in the background. Overhead, an occasional shuttle could be seen flying by. Sitting on the porch of the house in front of them, was a handsome looking couple. Both older than Liam.

"That's my Mom and Dad," he said with a grin. "And this is the house I grew up in."

Samaire smiled. “Your home is very nice Liam” she said softly. “Whereabouts is it situated?”

"Out on Long Island, Eastern seaboard of North America. My brothers, little sister and I all grew up in the small town of Amityville, located on the southern shore of the Island."

“Nice” She linked her arm through his. “Um.. can we remove the people?” She asked softly. “I would like to meet your parents, but in reality,”

He grinned and chuckled softly. "Of course, honey." He then ordered the computer to remove his parents. A beat later, both images flashed away. Once they were gone, he asked, “Wanna see my room?" He winked playfully. "My parents are out after all. We've got the house all to ourselves."

Samaire laughed “Sure why not”

Smiling, he took her hand and led her inside. After a brief tour of the home's three floors, he brought her to his room. "And here was my little corner of the galaxy for eighteen years."

She looked around the room. It was very nice. She moved into the room and wandered about. “Way better than my old room” she said with a smile.

"Oh?" He asked as he moved to sit on the side of his bed, facing her.

“I grew up in a castle, a keep that was kept in the historic way as much as possible.” Samaire trailed a hand over a poster of a music star.

"As in, no working plumbing or electricity?"

“OH there is that, but the rest was kept as it was in the 1500’s. Think gothic poster beds and decor. Not allowed any posters of holovid stars or such. And while we had our own computer terminals, they were hidden in cupboards so not to ruin the aesthetic”

"Big four post beds, huh?" He asked, a flirty smirk crossed his face. "Those have their uses."

Samaire gave him a smile. “Oh? And what possible uses could you think of to use them?”

He grinned even larger. "I'll tell you, but you gotta come here. It's a secret. I have to whisper it into your ear."

Slowly she moved and sat beside him on the bed. “Is this close enough?” she asked innocently.

He licked his lips as he leaned in and started to nibble on the left side of her neck.

Sam gave a soft whimper. “That's not talking Liam” she whispered.

He growled softly as he continued to kiss her neck and nibbled her earlobe. "You know that you're the only woman I've ever brought home, and to my room," he whispered hotly.

“Really?” Sam asked as she leaned against him.

He nodded, then moved his lips to hers and kissed her deeply, as he gently laid her back on the holographic version of his old bed.

Samaire lay back with her arms around his neck and enjoyed just kissing him.

After a while, he broke the kiss and leaned back a little, a grin on his face. "Okay," he began softly. "Though I know it's only a holo recording of my room but, is it weird that there's a part of my brain, deep in the back, that keeps listening for either my parents or my siblings?" He chuckled softly.

“Hmm you could call Kyle and tell him to barge in if it makes you feel better” She teased him.

This made Liam laugh out loud. "No thanks, I'm good. Unless of course you'd want him to do so and possibly see you naked?" He arched a flirty eyebrow at her.

“Vanessa would kill me.” Samaire replied with a smirk. “Though I have been tempted to ask her and Kyle to babysit Skylah for a night…"

Liam continued to grin. "Oh? And just what would you do with me, with all that free time on your hands?"

“I figured you could spend the night, and we could have a date night” Sam ran her fingers over his face gently.

He closed his eyes and made a soft sound when he felt her touch his face. "I like that idea," he whispered back to her, as he opened his eyes and smiled down at her.

“I am sure you could come up with things we could do.”

"Oh, yes." He said heavily, as he leaned back down and started to kiss Samaire again.

As he did so, his left hand slowly slid up under her shirt and gently cupped her bra-covered right breast.

Sam moaned into his mouth. And her back arched slightly.

As they continued to make out, Liam gently squeezed her breast, feeling her erect nipple pressing against the palm of his hand.

Sam ran her hands down his back and shifted so she could run her foot up his leg as they made out.

Liam made soft approving sounds from feeling Samaire move against him. When they came up for air, he whispered to her. "You are wearing too much clothing, my love. Looks like I need to relieve you of them."

“Here?” she asked breathlessly. “In the holodeck?”

"Why not? We're alone here, we've got the holodeck for another two hours." He gave her a wicked grin. "Besides, how often will I have a chance to have a perfect ten babe in my bedroom?"

“A perfect ten?” Sam asked curiously.

"You're brilliant, funny, caring, a great cook, you take care of Skylah like she was your own, you put up with my shenanigans, you are dynamite in bed, and super sexy on top of it all. The judges have scored you, my dear. You are a perfect ten." He grinned down at her.

"Ah, never heard of it before." She smiled up at Liam.

He smiled lovingly at her. "Well, now you have." He carefully sat up, undoing her jeans. Then, standing, he grabbed the cuffs and started to gently pull them off of her body.

Sam laughed and lifted her hips to help him. "Hmm you want me naked huh?"

"Well, yeah," he replied with a grin. "Thought that was a given."

Once her jeans were off, he reached up behind his neck, grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled it forward and off of his torso. He then started to undo his pants.

Sam laughed and began undoing her blouse, raising herself up onto her elbows as she did so.

As soon as Liam was just in his boxer-briefs, he laid back down next to Samaire, wrapping his arms around her and pulled her close. He then started to kiss her again, his hands moving over her perfect body.

Samaire wriggled against him, clad in only her underwear and shifted to kiss his neck as her own hands matched his in their exploring.

Liam moaned softly when he felt her soft lips on his neck. She had learned very quickly, just how to stoke his fire.

Sam smiled against his neck and continued to kiss her way down to his chest.

Rolling onto his back, he kept his hand loosely on Samaire, keeping physical contact with her, while not hindering whatever movements she wanted to do.

Samaire smirked and slid so she lay half on him, her left leg over his right as she slowly kissed his chest licking, kissing and lightly sucking in places to tease him.

A soft growl vibrated deep in the Marine's chest as he watched her move against him. "I love you," he whispered hungrily.

Sam’s eyes flicked up to his as she shifted again, this time, straddling him. “I love you too,” she said softly.

Liam made a soft, happy noise, when Samaire moved atop of him. Sitting up, he braced himself with his left arm behind him, while his right hand moved to the back of her head. He then pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

When they came up for air, Sam smiled. "Hmmm, someone likes me like this." She rubbed against him.

He gasped softly as she rubbed against his swelling manhood. "Like you…in every way…!" He got out as she continued to tease him.

Samaire was smiling now as she continued to rock her hips against his and kissing his chest. She wondered how long she could tease him for.

He rolled his head back and moaned as she continued to tease him. He moved his hands over her smooth skin, stopping at her, still-covered breasts, and he squeezed them through her bra.

Sam smiled and gasped even as she continued to kiss her way down to his stomach.

When he could no long reach her, Liam braced himself with both hands behind him, moaning softly from her attentions

Sam smirked as she pushed his boxers down and then looked up at him. "Shall I stop?"

He gasped and shook his head. "N-no! Don't stop!"

“Hmm what would your parents say if they knew you had a girl in your room.” She teased as she let her fingers stroke him.

"I…I'd be grounded!" He gasped aloud as she continued to tease him.

“Hmmm just grounded... well we can’t have that” She pressed her lips to his tip gently “Best be quiet huh?”

He clamped his mouth shut and moaned softly, his eyes not leaving hers.

She sent him a laughing look and began to kiss along his length and flick her tongue across his tip with slow strokes. How long, she mused watching his face, how long could he hold out before he jumped her?

Liam gasped, his eyes rolling closed as the sensations of what Samaire was doing to him flooded through his mind. He whispered her name as he moaned.

Smirking more, she continued her teasing before slowly taking him into her mouth.

A deep, guttural moan escaped his throat. "Ohhhh….fuck!" He gasped as he reached forward with his right hand, grabbing a loose hold of her hair.

Sam raised her head and said “I thought you didn't want to get caught” she teased.

His eyes snapped back at hers and he tightened his grip on her hair, pulling her back up and over onto her back. He then released her and kissed her deeply, as his left hand moved down between her legs and he slid his fingers into her, teasing and stimulating her.

She pressed against him as they kissed, wantonly rubbing her foot up and down his leg.

As they kissed, tongues duelling with one another, he slid his middle finger up inside of her, gently stimulating her g spot.

Sam broke the kiss and whispered in his ear “I love you Liam” and ran her hands down his back, in the way he liked.

He looked up into her eyes, pure devotion on his face as he replied. "I love you, Samaire." He then pulled his hand clear of her, moved to gently remove her underwear, and repositioned himself between her spreading legs. "I want no one but you, for the rest of my days," he whispered honestly, as he then slowly slid himself into her. There was no rushing to his movements. He wanted this bliss to last, for the both of them.

As he entered her, she brushed her lips across his over and over, as they began to move slowly.

For about the next hour, they made love to each other, slowly, tenderly, enjoying absolutely every part of each other in the process.

Afterwards, Sam lay curled into his side on the bed and let her eyes drift closed. “Hmm pity we have to leave here”

"Yeah," he said in agreement. "But, we can always come back. It could be one of our special places." He looked down at her and grinned. "We could go to your room next time." He gave her a satisfied grin as he spoke.

“Ah well my room is nothing like this.” she smiled.

"Perhaps not," he replied. "But I'm sure we could still enjoy ourselves." He grinned at her.

“Hmm and how would you enjoy yourself in my very old four poster bed?”

He continued to grin. "Well, for starters, we could tie each other up." He gave her a flirty wink.

Samaire laughed softly. "Interesting indeed." She smiled at him. "We should get dressed and such..."

Sighing softly, he nodded. "Yeah, want to ensure the holographic cleaning lady changes the bedding." He chuckled softly.

Nuzzling his neck one last time, Sam shifted beside him. “That and Skylah will be home from School soon.”

He purred softly. "Well, doing that is definitely not the way to get me up….on my feet, I mean." He smirked slightly.

“You’ll live” She teased and kissed him lightly. “Tonight?”

He returned the kiss eagerly, then nodded. "Like you have to ask? He gave her a loving smile, then watched her get up and start to get dressed.

Sam dressed quickly and tied her hair in his mirror.

As she did so, he climbed out of bed and started to get dressed as well. "What do you want to do for dinner?" He asked as he zipped up his fly.

“Hmm, stay in I think. Skylah will want to go out but I think we can stay in and relax, I can cook dinner.”

He nodded in agreement. Then he asked, "Let me cook dinner?" He smiled softly as he continued. "I mean, after we're married, I'm gonna want to help out around our home as much as I can anyway?"

“Sure, if you wish to cook dinner you can” She didn’t mind.

He grinned as he replied. "Great! I'm gonna make something that we used to make, when we were kids."

“Oh?” Samaire asked with a smile. “What are you going to make?”

"Sloppy Joes!" He said with a wide grin.

“What exactly are Sloppy joes?” she asked carefully.

"The way we made em?" He grinned. "Browned chopped meat, with chopped bread and butter pickles and ketchup. Once it's all cooked and mixed together, you eat it on hamburger buns."

Samaire nodded.”Sounds like Skylah will love it,”

"And you won't?" Liam suddenly had a slightly worried look on his face.

“I have never had them before, Not so sure about the pickles.”She was honest.

"Yeah," he nodded. "I know. I prefer dill pickles instead, but for this dish, the bread and butter ones just work better."

“Okay, then I will try it.” She assured him.

This caused him to grin happily. "Good! Dessert is on you, though."

“Okay I will think of something for it” She grinned back at him.

He grinned happily at Samaire. Then, after pulling her into a warm embrace, he had the computer end the simulation, leaving them in the empty holodeck. "I am going to spend the rest of life, doing whatever it takes, to keep you smiling like that, sweetheart."

"Lets go home" She smiled as she leaned into him.
