Alicia awoke to find herself alone in bed, rolling over she yawned and stretched then smiled as she sensed Savar the shower. Sliding out of bed she walked across to the bathroom and slid into the shower with Savar. "Good Morning handsome" She kissed his shoulder blade as she cuddled against his back. "I felt you were in here."

A very unVulcan like smile graced Savar's features as Alicia slid into the shower and kissed his shoulder blades. "Hello and good morning Alicia. I hope I did not wake you when I arose. I did try to be quiet. As for feeling me here, A most logical deduction on your part. Are you sure you are not Vulcan?" He questioned with a smile.

Alicia grinned as she squeezed around infront of Savar. "I never used to be but logic suggests that now I am bonded with a Vulcan that I might start displaying more Vulcan traits." She looked at him with a blank almost unemotional expression before a grin broke out again.

"An interesting theory Alicia. Perhaps I will also gain some Betazoid abilities. He stopped and looked at her, "I believe I do. I can tell what you want for breakfast... you naughty woman."

"Oh really? Just what would that be Imzadi?" She smiled as she looked at Savar.

"There is only one thing it can be Alicia. I know of your fondness for sausage and scrambled eggs for breakfast along with toast and coffee." Savar replied evenly.

"Now that...sounds delicious!!" Alicia grinned. "But I'll change that coffee for fruit juice. I don't fancy coffee all of a sudden." She shrugged her shoulders.

"As you wish Alicia, so shall it be done." Savar intoned just before he bent forward and kissed her softly.

Alicia returned his kiss her hands running along his skin. "Are you sure there's nothing else you'd like first?" She looked into his eyes.

"Now that you mention it Alicia, there is something I want... I would like to finish my shower." His voice even but his eyes gave away his merriment.

"Ohh...then feel free." She grinned and turned to leave the shower. Squeezing her body between Savar and the shower wall. "I'll be waiting for you."

"I would certainly hope so Alicia. Then we can have breakfast together." He replied with a smile.

Alicia raised her eyebrows in more of a Vulcan gesture of surprise, before squeezing past Savar completely. "Then I will see you in a few minutes." With that she left the shower and grabbed a towel. Her feelings and thoughts were confused but then maybe she had expected too much of Savar after their night together.

Savar wasn't stupid, emotional for a Vulcan to be sure but not stupid. he saw Alicia's look of surprise and he knew he had hurt her unintentionally but nonetheless he had hurt her and that was not what he wanted at all. He would have to make amends and quickly. Exiting the shower, he dried off and grabbed a robe. He went out into the bedroom where Alicia sat on the bed. "I wish to apologize Alicia. I have hurt you and that was never my intention. I was trying what humans call teasing. Apparently I need more work in that area."

"No, Savar! I'm the one who should apologise. I guess I'm still getting used to being in a relationship again and our bond. Please forgive me!" She offered a smile. "How's about we get some breakfast?"

He shook his head. "No." He answered resolutely. "You have nothing to apologize for. I was wrong. My attempt at teasing was awkward and bad. I sincerely apologize.'

Alicia grinned. "You are forgiven then." She gently took his hand and moved to sit on his lap still wrapped in her towel. "I can be demanding when it comes to lovemaking, call it a high sex drive or whatever you like! If I'm too demanding just tell me!"

He patted her hand. "I will be sure to let you know Alicia if you become too demanding." He said with a smile.

"Good" She grinned and kissed him on the cheek. "How's about we get that breakfast?"

"A most excellent idea Alicia. One I am all in favor of." Savar answered taking her hand and leading her towards the kitchen.

Following Savar, Alicia prepared the plates and cutlery they'd need for their breakfast. "I'll lay the breakfast table, do you want to cook or shall I? I would replicate food but on some occasions freshly made is so much better."

"I believe I will let you cook Alicia, I wish to see your prowess in the kitchen." He bantered.

"Oh really?" Alicia grinned. "Then prepare to be astounded, but first.." She headed back to the bedroom and quickly changed into one of Savar's shirts. Returning she smiled as she looked at Savar. "I don't have a nightdress here so this was the next best thing."

Savar nodded in approval. "Most becoming Alicia. I like your sense of style in clothes. Feel free to continue with your unique clothing style." he poured two glasses of fruit juice. "Now I am waiting to be astounded."

Alicia grinned and got stuck into cooking up a nice hot breakfast, she wasn't sure what Vulcan's preferred so she cooked up a vegetarian option as well as a meat option before bringing sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, toast, fruit juices and the extra vegetarian food to the table. "So what do you think?" She motioned to the choices on the table.

Savar was impressed with both Alicia's cooking skills and the sheer mountain of food she had prepared. "I think you have outdone yourself Alicia. Is someone else joining us for breakfast?" He wondered.

"No, just us!" She grinned. "I plan on no one else seeing me in this state of undress. The only one who will ever see me like this is you!" She politely tucked into some breakfast.

He nodded at her reply. "I am relieved to hear no one else is joining us and more so to know that you are for my eyes only. I consider myself most fortunate."

"I am your mate Savar, you are my love." Alicia gently placed her hand on his. "I don't want anyone else."

His eyes closed at her touch. "Nor do I wish or desire anyone else Alicia. Only you. Never doubt that."

"I don't doubt it" She smiled warmly before eating more of her breakfast. She paused to lift her glass of juice and take a polite drink. "I can feel your sincerity, and your love for me."

"I should hope so Alicia. Both are quite strong. I desire to have you with me for as long as possible." Savar replied as he sipped his juice. "I am quite happy thanks to you."

"I'm glad" She smiled. "I never dreamt I'd ever find a man whom I'd love so much again after my losses. I can't put into words what our relationship truly means."

"I love you very much as well Alicia. You being here with me as changed my entire outlook. I now not only see the beauty in the world but appreciate it as well."

Alicia nodded. "I look forward to exploring our bond more as I become accustomed to it. It's still something of a jumble in my mind at the moment but it is slowly becoming clearer."

"You will soon become comfortable with it Alicia and you will be better able to keep your feelings and mine separate in your mind." Savar explained.

"I just hope that I will be able to keep my feelings and our bond in check when we're working. We have to be able to keep our personal and professional lives seperate." Alicia paused. "I'm not sure how easy that's going to be."

"I have no doubt that you will be able to Alicia. You are a complete professional. Keeping our professional and personal lives separate should not present a problem to you." Savar replied evenly.

"I hope so" She offered a smile. "So is there anything you want to know about me?"

"I wish to know everything about you Alicia." Savar replied honestly.

Alicia grinned. "Now that could take some time!"

"I have plenty of time Alicia. I am not going anywhere." Savar replied as he munched a piece of toast.

"I guess that's true, but maybe there's a better way. Can I show you my memories telepathically, or is it better to wait until our connection has had time to properly settle?"

"It would be better for you to wait until our connection is more settled Alicia." Savar answered. "To flood my mind with your memories would create false memories where I would think I had actually experienced what you are showing."

Alicia nodded. "Okay in that case I guess I start at the beginning..."

"I am all ears Alicia." Savar answered as he waited for Alicia to begin her story.
