Mission: Mission 0 - Christening of Legacy and Crew Arrival
Location: Galley/Cole's Quarters
Timeline: 2261.187 1730

The days had been busy. Between the Christening, a physical with an invitation to dinner, a quick workout with her new roommate...Neza had been all over the ship and they hadn't even left yet. But, that didn't stop her from going on the dinner date. But, with the way the schedules worked, especially on a new ship, Cole had contacted her and rescheduled for two nights later. This was perfectly okay, as it gave her more time to get settled in.

Getting ready for her date, she slipped into her mini-skirt uniform since she was told to meet him at the Galley, she was going to look some-what professional. However, she did do up her hair a bit.

She then made her way down to the Galley, standing outside in the corridor, waiting. He did say 1730, right?

Freshly showered and dressed in what was considered casual officer wear, Cole came strolling around the corner, slowing down as he saw her there. "Did you notice her age, Doctor?" one of his nurses had pointed out to him in Neza's file, giving him a for shame look as she had walked away. At the time, his response had been one of uncertainty, for she was quite a bit younger than him. Now, releasing a breath, he walked on towards her, smiling the usual charming way that Dering's smiled. "Hi Neza."

Turning towards the voice, Neza smiled, then frowned at herself, seeing him in the casual clothing. "I think I might have overdressed, Cole." But the smile did return a little. "You do look nice though."

"Well, so do you," he smiled sincerely and ran a finger down a few strands of her hair, "Actually,you look great."

Neza's face flushed as he complimented her. She watched him carefully as he ran a finger through a bit of her hair, but all she could do was smile. "Thank you." She knew that just standing there outside the Galley was probably strange if anyone found them but..she was a bit distracted.

So was he. It had been such a busy day, and he wanted to unwind. What better way to do that than with a pretty young woman, one he wanted to get to know better. "You're welcome..." he smiled again, his eyes continuing to look over her face, "I know it was my idea for us to meet here at this time, but umm...I'm...not really hungry... well, at least not for dinner..." His grin widened at the way that sounded. "I have a few snacks and a bottle of wine at my quarters, if you still want to join me there."

Listening to what Cole was saying, Neza bit her lip but couldn’t help but smile. Her heart jumped up into her throat as she spoke, part of it coming out as a whisper. “You um...read my mind, Cole. I really am not quite hungry for whatever it is that they are offering in there.” She nodded slightly over to the galley. Daring, she moved closer to Cole and hooked her arm into his. “Lead the way, my dear doctor.”

"Alright," he grinned and lead her to the turbolift, where he instructed the control computer on where he wanted to go. As the turbolift car moved smoothly through the network, Cole took in a deep breath, a little more nervous than he thought he would be, but then it had been awhile since he'd had an actual date. He found himself looking down at her, her beautiful eyes capturing his.

Neza had followed to the turbolift and kept her arm hooked into his. She felt him looking at her and couldn't help but look over at him, blushing. "What? Is...is there something on my face?"

"Yeah," he smiled, and continued to stare down at her, "You're really pretty...and that's not a line."

Her face flushing more, Neza looked down at her feet. She'd been told that before, but it felt different coming from Cole. "Um..thanks, Cole." She let her eyes linger back up to his. "You look pretty good yourself."

"Thank you.." he nearly whispered. The way her eyes returned, to look back up to his, felt incredibly intimate. Oh, hell.., he thought and not caring about anything else, decided to do what it was he was really wanting to do. Unexpectedly, he bent down and captured her mouth. Cupping her face in his hands, he started kissing her deeply.

Completely caught off guard by the kiss, Neza felt her heart start to race. Instinctively, her arms slowly wrapped themselves around his neck, falling into the kiss.

Having let go of her face to wrap his arms around her, Cole deepened the kiss even further, his mouth starting to explore hers when the turbolift doors opened. He stopped the kiss, licking his lips and breathing hard as they continued to stare at each other. "Wow..." he managed to get out.

Neza bit her lip as she pulled back slowly. She was glad there was no one on the other side of the turbolift doors. “Yeah...” Her eyes looked back up at him. “Um..we probably shouldn’t just stand here,” she stated with a slight giggle.

"Hmmm." Cole rolled his eyes over to the stretched out corridor before them. "I suppose you're right." He took hold of her hand and walked them out of there. "I got stuck once in a turbolift," he said, wanting to throw in some conversation as they walked towards his quarters.

“I..wouldn’t have minded being stuck in the turbolift just now,” Neza stated with a grin, squeezing his hand. “Though I can’t say I’ve ever been stuck in one.”

He smiled at what she first said. "I was seven years old, on a tour through Starfleet Command with my dad.." he recalled, the smile fading. "I'm not sure what happened, but uhh..it broke down and we were stuck there for a while. I wouldn't go into one for a long time after that. Eventually, my brother helped me get over it."

Neza listened and gave him a small smile. "I'm glad you got over it. I don't think I'd be able to handle that at that age. Then again, I had enough going on as a kid." She let her head lay on his shoulder softly as they walked.

His brows coming together, he replied, "That sounds really serious." He could relate, his own childhood far from a bed of roses.

"You can believe my medical profile that says I have 'middle child syndrome', which maybe when I was younger. They left it in there, which is irritating." She shrugged. "It is what it is."

"Oh. Yeah." They had arrived to his quarters, and he released her hand, entered his code to unlock the door before turning to face her. His expression was serious as he gazed down at her. "I hope you know If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm available to listen."

Neza gave a smile. "I'll remember that, Cole." She stood on her tiptoes a bit and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She let her hand sit against his cheek gently.

He returned her smile, "You're welcome," while holding onto her gaze. Then he was leaning in slowly, giving her a chance to stop him this time, although he didn't think that she would.

Since Cole had already put the code in to unlock his door, Neza reached over and hit the button to open the door as she leaned in, not stopping him. But all of this happening out in the corridor of the senior staff quarters likely wasn't a great idea.

But Cole didn't care. His lips started softly brushing hers and then they were fully kissing before he pulled her inside. His hands through her hair, he had her against the wall as he ended the kiss, both of them breathing hard. "I want you, Neza," he whispered.

She wasn't caught off guard by the kiss this time, and her arms went back around his neck as she poured herself into it. Her heart began to race again as she was pulled inside his quarters and up against the wall. Looking into his eyes as they pulled apart, they showed a hunger, a desire. She leaned in and bit at his lip a little before responding in a whisper as well. "And I want you, Cole." Her desires started to take over, and her hands started to roam. She quickly was tugging at his shirt with one hand, finger in a belt loop with the other, pulling him closer against her.

There was something to be said for the beauty of making love to another, the familiar rhythm and the brand newness entwined together. Each touch, or sigh was its own gift, and Cole looked forward to unwrapping each one. Her lips were irresistible, making it difficult to pull away for more then a few seconds.

And yet he had other goals in mind.

First, the dress had to go. Just as her hands were attempting to divest him of his clothes, Cole put a hand against the wall so he could push them both far enough away to pull down her zipper. They broke apart so clothes could fall to the floor.

The sight of her swollen lips, along with her beautiful body, very nearly made him trip over his shirt as he dove in to kiss her again. One hand held the back of her head, the other relished the feel of her soft skin.

It hadn't taken long for the clothes to fall and their lips to meet once more. Her arms were wrapped around his waist this time, pulling him closer to her as she used her foot to push the pile of clothing away. But quickly one of her hands went up and through his hair, tugging on it as it raked through. She pulled back from the kiss just barely, enough to catch a breath and look back into his eyes. "Mmmm...Cole..." She managed to whisper before meeting his lips again.

Damn, Cole thought at the way she was kissing him. Not only was she was really good at it, she knew just how to kiss him. Tilting his head as the kiss deepened, he let out a low growl, wanting so much more, pinning her more against the wall as he lifted her legs so she could wrap them around him. Although he wanted her right there and then, he still broke the kiss, pulling away only enough to see her face.

He breathed out, asking her "Here, the bed, or here and the bed?"

Neza gave a pout when he pulled away, tightening her legs around him. The growl he had let out just heightened her desires for him. "You're not going anywhere, Cole," she whispered, her voice low. "Here..then bed...or wherever the hell we end up," she growled, tugging at his lip with her teeth.

He smiled and then gave her exactly what she wanted.

***

Cole rolled back over on his back, in awe. "Wow...Neza..." he said, breathing hard.

Laying down on his chest, Neza let her breath attempt to catch up with her. She looked up at him and ran her hand through his hair before letting it rest against his cheek. "Yeah..." she managed to get out as a smile crossed her face. "I...just wow..." She couldn't help but laugh a little. "That..was worth the few days wait..."

He smiled back to her, "I'm glad you agree." He turned on his side towards her, putting his arm around back. "You're amazing," he whispered.

Moving up towards the pillow, she nuzzled into his arms, not actually using the pillow to lay on. Instead, she was quite content using him as the pillow instead. Her own arm wrapped around him, finally able to breathe somewhat normally. "Nuh uh, you are." She let her lips brush against his lightly, grinning.

"Mmmm..." he closed his eyes, pulling her in closer. Something stirred beneath the blankets. "Thank you. You know I couldn't have done it without you," he smiled. Then his stomach growled and his smile widened. He looked at her with heavy-lidded eyes. "I think I'm finally hungry...for food this time."

Neza let out a laugh and shook her head. "Well.." She smirked and kept herself close, watching his eyelids get heavy. "Maybe some rest first? Then we can find that food...thing...you mentioned." She stifled a yawn, kissing his cheek.

Cole lightly laughed. "Alright.." he said turning them until she was on her back, pulling a sheet over them, "right after this.."
