Gary moved around the kitchen checking everything he was preparing. He had some wine chilling in a wine cooler. The table was set. LL was with Zac and Emily and their daughter. The hardest decision he had to make was what to prepare. Spare ribs were good but messy. He didn't want to go with the Dabo chicken. He thought of steaks and baked potatoes but wondered if it was too simple. It was the reason he didn't choose spaghetti. He wanted this meal to be special. He finally settled on deep fried Vulcan shrimp, garlic bread and wild rice. With some mozzarella cheese sticks as an appetizer. He looked at the chrono on the wall, Naxea should be arriving soon.

Approaching the door to Gary's Quarters, Naxea paused. Herbbpdy still ached. Moresonfr9m her training than recovering from surgery. And training with a sadistic woman known as Luxa Gami was a living hell. The woman would make a Klingon beg for mercy in PT. Gami had a saying she picked up from humans. 'Pain is weakness leaving the body.' She chuckled at the thought. She pressed the chime to Gary's door.

Hearing the door chime, Gary gave another check on dinner (Everything looked good and smelled even better) and then went to the door, Opening it he smiled broadly at Naxea, "Hi Naxea, come on in you are right on time, make yourself at home. "Dinner will be ready shortly, Can I get you a drink while we wait?" He asked.

"Yes, thank you. I'll have a Samarian Sunset," she said as she sat down on the sofa near the view port. Her hair was worn back and the light sleeveless summer dress fit perfectly as she sat down. "How have you been?"

"One Samarian Sunset coming right up." Gary replied as he went to get her drink and returning a few seconds later. "I'm okay. Was worried about you." He said honestly. "Though you are looking good. That dress looks good on you."

"Thank you," she smiled. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine," she said, more to herself than to Gary. The fact that Sle'anna could had been hurt or killed still shook her. She took a long sip of her drink to help calm her nerves.

Gary shook his head, "Sorry Naxea, I do worry about you. I know you can take care of yourself far better than most women and men. It's just I care." He eyed her for a moment when she said she was fine. He doubted that but he wasn't going to press the issue.

She set the drink down on a nearby coffee table and looked at Gary. "I know you care. It means alot to me." She reached out and took his hand into hers, squeezing slightly.

Gary smiled at her comment. "Good. As long as you know. That is what matters." He answered and gave her hand a gentle squeeze in return. "I hope you're hungry." He said, changing topics, "Because I made us a great dinner if I say so myself." He finished grinning.

"That remains to be seen...or tasted," Naxea replied, returning the grin.

Gary chuckled at Naxea's reply. "Oh ye of little faith. See what you think after you had the meal. I bet you'll change your tone."

"Sure, sure," she waved dismissively. "Is the meal ready?" She shifted some in order to take another sip of her drink as she continued to hold Gary's hand. His touch was welcoming.

Gary nodded, "Should be. Come on to the table and I'll bring it out." He replied as he gave her hand another gentle squeeze and help her up and then escorted her to the table where he pulled the chair out for her to sit down. "Prepare to have the best meal you have ever had." As he disappeared into the kitchen to begin bringing out the meal.

Naxea grinned as she watched Gary step into the kitchen. She had to admit that this was nice. She had time away from Sle'anna who was being watched by S'hib and at least for the moment there wasn't a crisis on the ship. For the first time in a long while she felt she could relax.

Gary returned a moment later with the plate of mozzarella cheese sticks. "An appetizer." he explained, "Dig in." Then disappeared back into the kitchen to return with the garlic bread and wild rice, which was lightly buttered. He went back and returned with a plate of the Vulcan jumbo shrimp and a small bowl. "Melted butter for the shrimp if you want it ." He explained and sat down. "Well, go ahead and take some food on your plate."

"Pushy, pushy," she teased as she began to fill her plate. "Where did you learn to cook Vulcan Shrimp?"

Gary smiled. "Now Naxea, a good cook doesn't tell their secrets. Why don't you have some and tell me what you think first?"

"You're eager for me to eat. Did you poison it?" Naxea teased before stabbing a shrimp with a fork and eating it. The taste was rather good but it was also the first time she had ever tried Vulcan Shrimp. "To be honest?" she began after swallowing her bite. "It is good but also the first time I've had Vulcan shrimp. "

"I did not poison it." Gary said with a smile as Naxea tried the shrimp. He smiled at her saying it was good but then his face changed when she mentioned it was the first time she had tried Vulcan shrimp. "Oh Naxea! I didn't know. I'm sorry! Next time I'll fix steak and baked potatoes."

Naxea couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be sorry. Like I said, it's very good and I'm not afraid to try new things," she looked at him, before picking up another shrimp and eating it.

Gary smiled. "Thank you for making feel better. That is very kind and sweet." As he put some shrimp, a piece of garlic bread and some rice on his plate.

After several bites, Naxea spoke up. "You certainly know your way to a woman's heart."

Gary beamed. "Thank you Naxea. I am glad you like it. I have a strawberry cheesecake for dessert. So save some space."

"Seriously?" she asked pausing in her eating. "You didn't need to make so much,' she chuckled.

"It isn't that much and I wanted to" Gary replied. "And I did promise you a wonderful meal. Dessert is part of it."

"Well it is wonderful, and you overdid yourself," Naxea stated. She was nearly done with her plate. "Didnyou make it from scratch as well?"

"I did." Gary replied. "However if you are full, I'll cut a couple of slices for you to have later." He offered. "You can also take some shrimp and garlic bread back to your quarters."

"Trying to get rid of me already?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Gary blinked at her, once, twice, His eyes widened in surprise at Naxea's reply. "What? No! Absolutely not! I want you here for as long wish to stay. I, I" He stammered, "Enjoy your company very much."

"You're adorable when you're flustered," Naxea grinned. "I was only teasing you," she said before taking her last bite. "I'll try a small slice of the cheesecake. "

Gary's face transformed into a bright smile. "You got me." He admitted before adding. "One slice of cheesecake coming right up." As he disappeared into the kitchen only to return a few seconds later with two plates of cheesecake. One he put in front of Naxea, the other he placed in front of his chair. "See what you think of that."

Picking up her fork, Naxea took a small bite of the dessert. After a moment., she had chewed and swallowed the bite. "Very good," she complimented

"Why thank you Naxea, I am pleased you like it." Gary answered as he took a forkful into his mouth. After swallowing, he smiled, "You're right, it is very good."

A few bites later and Naxea set her fork down, sitting back in the chair. She looked at Gary. "That was a delicious meal, Gary." She downed a sip of the wine as she thought about the night. Gary was about welcomed relief from the loneliness she had been feeling lately. It felt good to be able to relax and talk with someone. Someone who was also a single parent.

"I am glad you enjoyed it, I enjoyed preparing it." Gary said with a smile, He was enjoying himself. Naxea was good company, She was attractive, witty, with a great sense of humor. It was nice to have an adult conversation and company. Not to mention he was lonely. So, this evening was welcome relief and he hoped it continued.

"I should help you clean up," Naxea offered as she scooted her chair back to stand up. "It's the least I can do with all the cooking you've done. "

"No, absolutely not. You are my guest." Gary answered, "However, I am not opposed to you coming into the kitchen and keeping me company."

"Are you always so stubborn?" she asked, smiling as she stood up from the table.

"Oh, pretty much." He replied with a grin. "But in this case it isn't so much about being stubborn its about showing I care and respect you and you are a welcomed guest in my home and they don't do dishes."

"Blah, blah, blah," Naxea mocked teasingly before finishing her wine and following Gary into the kitchen.

Gary turned and looked at her, he fixed her with a stare. For several seconds he just stood there and then said, "The correct thing to say is whatever," His face breaking into a big smile as he finished.

"Blah, blah, blah," she mocked again before breaking out in a laugh, leaning against a nearby counter as she watched Gary begin to wash dishes.

For his part Gary just smiled as Naxea again mocked laughing as she did, It was a good natured laugh not mean or spiteful and he liked the byplay they were having. He enjoyed Naxea's company, her companionship more and more with each passing min.

Naxea was silent as she watched Gary clean the dishes. She enjoyed being with him and if she was honest, she wanted things to go further between them. She pushed off gently from the counter and came up behind him, wrapping her arms around him as she pressed her body against his.

Gary stopped washing the dishes as Naxea wrapped her arms around him as she pressed into him. he turned in her embrace to face her. "I like that and I like you being here and us being together. I hope you do as well." Then he leaned forward and kissed her softly on her full lips.

Naxea returned the kiss and slowly and reluctantly pulled away slightly to speak. "Does this answer your question?" She asked as her hands moved to the straps of her dress and pushed the down as the dress fell to the floor at her feet leaving her topless.

Gary stood transfixed at Naxea's actions as her dress fell to the floor and she suddenly and without shame stood in front of him topless. A smile crossed his face. "I would have to say that certainly does answer my question. In fact it is one of the strongest and most direct answers I could ever get." He then leaned forward and kissed one nipple, softly, his lips encircling it to gently suck on it until it became firm and erect, he repeated the process with her other nipple, When he finished he raised his head and looked at her, "Beautiful, simply and without question beautiful."

Naxea smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist lightly. "Well I'm glad you approve," she chuckled. " Care to take this to your bedroom?" She kissed his neck softly.

"I most definitely approve." Gary answered as Naxea softly kissed his neck. "I have no objections what so ever to moving this the bedroom. Are you sure you want this?"

She looked up at him. "Yes. As long as you are."

"I am. I certainly am. I just wanted to make sure you were." As he suddenly bent down and scooped Naxea into his arms and headed for the bedroom, leaving her dress behind on the kitchen floor.

She kissed him passionately as they entered the bedroom. As she was set down on the bed, she slid her panties off.

Gary returned her kisses with equal passion. When they entered the bedroom he sat beside her as she slid her panties off and was now completely nude beside him. "Beautiful." He whispered as he kissed her again.

Naxea returned the kiss as she began to pull his shirt off of him.

Gary helped Naxea as she pulled his shirt off by lifting his arms up to his shirt cam right off.

Her hands rested on Gary's chest as she kissed his chest slowly making her way downward as her hands moved to undo his pants.

Gary gave a soft sigh of contentment as Naxea kissed his chest and slowly worked her way downward as her hands moved to his pants. He leaned forward slightly to kiss her neck.

She slowly undid his pants, pushing his pants and underwear down, letting them fall to the floor as she gently stroked his growing member.

Gary let out a soft but pleasured sigh at Naxea's stroking of his manhood. He could feel his desire for growing with each passing second.

As he hardened, Naxea placed his member into her mouth as she began to suck on it, her tongue running along his shaft.

Gary shuddered as Naxea took his manhood in her mouth and began to gently suck on it. "Ohhhhhhh God ! Naxea!" He exclaimed as she continued.

Naxea continued for a few minutes longer as she heard Gary's breathing quicken. She stopped, not wanting Gary to cum just yet as she laid back on the bed, looking up at him.

Gary took a breath a big one has Naxea stopped her pleasuring of him and lay back on the bed. "God" He whispered as he gently moved her legs apart to settle between them, where it was now his turn to pleasure Naxea. He started by kissing her throat and neck with light feathery kisses before moving down to her chest where he again paid attention to her breasts by kissing first one nipple and then the other before he began to suck on them.

Naxea arched her back as she wrapped her arms around him as Gary pushed her legs apart. She bit her lip lightly letting a low moan escape.

Gary raised his eyes to look at her but continued to kiss and suck on her nipples after a few more moments he moved down her chest, continuing to kiss all the way down. His kisses were feather soft, just enough to drive her to distraction (hopefully).

Another soft moan escaped Naxea's lips. Each kiss was electrifying as she closed her eyes as she ran her hands through Gary's hair. "Take me," she moaned.

"Your wish is my command." Gary whispered as moved to fulfill Naxea's command.

Awhile later, Naxea laid in Gary's arms. She wasn't sure what time it was but she was certain it was late. For the moment, she was happy as she gently stroked Gary's arm.

Gary kissed Naxea's cheek softly as they lay together. "That was amazing. You were amazing." He whispered softly.

Naxea rolled over to face Gary and smiled at him as her hand ran through his hair. "You weren't too shabby yourself," she teased as she caressed his cheek.

"Ahhh. Good to know I passed muster. I shudder to think what would happen if I hadn't impressed the brass." He bantered back and grin on his face.

Naxea laughed. "It certainly wouldn't have been good. But no, I needed this...needed you."

"We both needed this Naxea and I definitely needed you. So, does this mean we're a couple now and our relationship is official?" Gary questioned.

She looked at him. "I would hope so." She kissed him passionately.

Gary nodded and smiled, "I do like the way you think and I could not agree more. I feel the exact same way." He finished as he wrapped his arms around her and returned her kisses with equal passion.

Naxea pressed her body closer ss they kissed. "So do we have the rest of the night to ourselves or do I need to go?" she asked softly as she finally broke the kiss.

Gary shook his head as Naxea broke the kiss, "Nope, you are staying right here with me for the rest of the night and all day tomorrow if you can arrange it and you want to.".

"All day tomorrow?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, amused at the response. "And what are your plans for us all.day?"

"Wellllll." Gary let the word drag out, "The first thing is I'm taking all your clothes so you have to stay naked. Then tomorrow evening , I've made dinner reservations at Das Alpine Haus, so we'll have a nice dinner, then a walk through the arboretum and who know what else."

"Such a tease," she replied as she pressed closer against him. "Sounds good."

"Humor is vital to a healthy and long lasting relationship Naxea." Gary answered with a smile as his arms wrapped around Naxea and he held her in a loose hug, close to him. "I'm glad my idea met with your approval. I shudder to think what your reaction would have been otherwise." He finished seriously before he broke out in laughter.

"Oh do you now?" She laughed as her hand reached down, finding his member and began to casually stroke it.

"I do." Gary replied softly before adding "You damn tease."

She kissed him passionately.

Gary returned the kiss as they fell back on the bed a jumble of arms and legs.
