After speaking with Captain Jackson about her unapproved use of the gym with Neza, Bec had gone to her office and mulled things over. She knew she was always grist for the rumour mill, but she didn't want Neza to be part of that unwillingly. She also was quite aware that she'd been caught flirting with several other crew, and wanted to make sure she and Neza were on the same page where their relationship was concerned. So, before she could think herself into a hole, she sent Neza a message requesting dinner in her quarters, should she be available.

Now that dinner was fast approaching, Bec was suddenly nervous. What if Neza wanted more than she did? Bec was fine should things end between them, but she wasn't fine with breaking someone's heart. She arranged the covered plates of food from the mess and cutlery on her small table, then went to change. Just after she pulled on her tight-fitting jeans, the door chime went off. She walked back into the main room, peasant shirt in hand, and called out for the person on the other side to come in. As she started to slip the top over her head, she hoped that it was actually Neza who walked through the door and not someone else.

Having see the message from Charlotte while she was reading in her quarters, Neza had originally planned on a quiet night in. Instead, a smile crossed her face and she got herself ready. Of course, with the rumors she’d already heard, including the ticker tape, she would have to be careful and make sure no one caught her walking into the first officer’s quarters.

Picking an outfit that didn’t give to much away, but maybe just enough, was tricky. She found a pair of black leggings and a deep green shirt that was long enough to almost be considered a night shirt. But, it also covered her well enough that she could walk down the corridors without maybe too many eyes. She pulled her hair up only a bit and once it was time to go, she headed out, finding her way quietly to her destination.

Having pressed the chime, and heard the okay to come in, Neza giggled as the door opened, and let it close behind her before speaking. “You know, might want to make sure the right person is at the door before you let someone in while you are putting on a shirt.”

"But where is the fun in that?" Bec asked, adjusting the top so it was off her shoulders. She waved to the table, currently set for two with covered plates, wine, and a decorative arrangement of candles in the center. Nothing romantic, but still looked like some effort went in to make it look special. "I'm glad you accepted my offer," she flashed Neza a rare smile. She stood awkwardly for a moment before pulling Neza into a warm embrace.

Neza too stood awkwardly until accepting and returning the embrace. “You would have given someone quite a nice show had it not been me,” she said quietly with a giggle.

"Nothing I haven't done before," Bec grinned mischievously, but her demeanor changed. "Look, I invited you here because," she gestured to the chairs, indicating that they should sit. "I've heard the rumours starting and I wanted to talk to you before things went wildly out of hand. I have always been grist for the mill when it comes to scuttlebutt," she sat down at the table. "But I realize you may not have been in this position before, and I don't want anything to come as a surprise to you. Not only are there rumours about us, and our fun in the gym, but there are going to be many more rumours about me," she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"I'll just get to the point. If you want to slap me, go for it, it wouldn't be the first time," Bec chuckled. "And I probably should have waited until we ate to talk, but I wanted to clear the air without pretense. I'm a flirt, a notorious 'player of the field'. I don't think I've ever had a stable relationship. I don't want to hurt anyone, so I wanted to make sure we were on the same page," she paused to look at Neza. "And I wanted to know what you wanted out of this," she gestured to Neza, then herself, trying to indicate their now strange relationship.

Listening carefully, Neza simply gave a smile to Bec. “You and I are in the same boat then, Bec. I play the field..a lot. Flirting, it is part of who I am.” She gave a slight chuckle. “Honestly? That was the first time I’d done anything like that. Not that I am complaining...it was..” she grinned. “If you want this to be a friends with benefits type of thing? I am completely okay with that.”

Bec practically fell off her chair. She'd finally met someone who completely got what she was saying the first time. "Oh, I definitely want friends with benefits," she laughed. "That was too much fun to let you get away that easily," she said, giving Neza a wink. "Though Captain Jackson did inquire about why I locked out the gym," she gave an 'oops' look. "I tried to be discrete, but well, she caught on to what we were doing in there and warned me that I should keep this to my quarters from now on," she gave an innocent look, but couldn't hold it for long. "Not that I mind, more comfortable furniture, less possibility for interruptions."

“I don’t want to let you get away either. Besides, it was far to much fun as you said.” Neza’s eyes went wide at hearing the Captain had caught on. “Probably better not use my quarters then. I share the room with someone who works in sickbay. We all know sickbay starts all the rumors.” With a giggle, Neza reached over and gave Bec a small tickle on her side.

'Oh no you don't,' Bec thought when Neza tickled her. In one swift movement, she lunged forward and slid Neza off her chair and onto the floor, making sure she had a soft landing. "You devilish woman," she murmured before pressing her lips against Neza's in a lustful kiss. "You're going to get me in so much trouble," she said between kisses.

Neza couldn’t help but laugh as she was moved to the floor. Returning the kiss, she too spoke between the kisses. “Can’t get in trouble so much in here, can we?” She let her arms and legs wrap around the smaller woman who was now laying on top of her.

"No, my naughty minx," Bec said, brushing her lips across her neck. "No trouble in here." She laughed and pulled back from Neza a bit. "Unless it's trouble you're causing me," she winked.

“Now why would I do that,” Neza stated, letting her hands run down Bec’s sides when she pulled back. “Our type of trouble is fun and we both cause it.” She gave a grin and used her legs to pull Bec tighter against her.

Bec didn't respond, she simply went back to teasing Neza. Eventually, she tugged on Neza's shirt, trying to pull the dress like contraption off the other woman, but instead causing herself to fall forward face first into Neza's chest. She laughed and pushed herself up. "Well, that's never happened before..." she muttered before attacking Neza with her hands, tickling and teasing.

Gasping at the fact that Bec had fallen...where she’d fallen, Neza started to laugh. “However, I’m not complaining,” she stated before laughing even more at the tickling. “Oy! Not...fair! Don’t make me take advantage of my height here.”

Bec continued to tickle Neza, almost daring her to make good on her threat. She moved herself a little higher, and attempted to sit straddle on Neza's abdomen, which was difficult with Neza's legs wrapped around her. "Promises, promises!"

Neza shifted Bec back down to where she’d been sitting before and grinned, tickling Bec’s sides before wrapping her arms around her and shifting so she could stand up. “I do keep my promises,” she said with a grin before going back in for a deep kiss. Keeping hold of Bec, she moved them over to the couch, but kept them up for the moment.

Bec let a soft growl out as Neza picked her up and carried her over to the couch. Being short, Bec was used to men doing this to her, but this was the first time a woman had done so. She returned the kiss, though attempted to free herself. She found that she was completely bound in Neza's embrace and couldn't even move her arms to wrap them around her.

Realizing Bec was trying to get her arms free, Neza shifted and let her have use of her arms again. Growling right back, she lowered them down onto the couch, making sure Bec didn’t fall hard against it as her hand started to roam on the woman’s body.

Bec took full advantage of having her arms free again, running her fingers through Neza's hair, pulling it slightly as she did. However, since she'd directed the way things went in the gym, she didn't make any further moves, allowing Neza to have complete control over how things would go. Sometimes it was nice not to allow someone else to dictate what would happen. Most times the other party completely surprised her with their decisions.

The hair pulling only turned her own more, and Neza bit at Bec’s lip playfully underneath the kiss. One of her hands ran along the inside of her thigh while the other tried to blindly find an easy way to get the tight jeans off of her. They did make her look good, but...she looked better without them.

Feeling the hand exploring the clasp of her jeans, Bec reached down and undid the button, allowing Neza access to peel the pants off of her. Once she was free of the jeans, she took advantage of the change in position to pull Neza's shirt over her head. After all of the clothes had gone flying, Bec pulled Neza back down as she laid back on the couch.

With all of the clothing off somewhere in the room, Neza adjusted where she was laying. Her hand began to run up Bec’s inner thigh again before she went back in for a kiss. Her other hand slowly ran down her arm, trying to bring back the goosebumps from last time.

Bec chuckled and pulled Neza closer, allowing her to feel the shivers both of excitement and anticipation that ran through her. She whispered something into Neza's ear, then pulled back, giving her a lustful look before kissing her again.

Listening, Neza returned the lustful look, pressing herself against Bec, biting at her lip as ...

Fade to black

Neza nuzzled up under the blanket on Bec's bed. Her eyes looked over at Bec, brushing some hair out of her face.

Bec, wrapped her arms around Neza and snuggled into her. "Mmm... so much for dinner," she murmured into Neza's neck. Her hands ran softly over her Neza's body. "But I think dessert was much better," she teased.

“Isn’t dessert always the best part,” Neza asked as she gave her a gentle kiss. “I think your bed is more comfortable than mine is too. Especially with the company.”

"It is comforatble," Bec returned the kiss before moving to stretch slowly. When the stretch ended, Bec laid upon her back, one arm under her head, the other gently stroking Neza's side. "Too bad I can't share it with you every night," she smiled, a rare smile of complete contentment before her eyes started to close and she murmured something about sleep being better with a warm body next to you.

Neza gave a smile right back and pulled the blanket up over them before draping an arm over Bec with a small yawn. "Uh huh, that would be nice..." She let her eyes close slowly.

Bec snuggled into the blankets and Neza, feeling the all powerful pull of sleep tugging at her mind. Though she had many thoughts fighting for purchase, sleep won over quickly, the smile still plastered on her face as she drifted off in Neza's arms.
