Here one could post what one might do in their quarters.

[Yeoman Azuma Stadi]

OOC: Continued from "A Doc needs a Doc" This is a joint post with Doctor Kestra and Counselor Stadi
PG-17 near the end

He rolled to look at the ceiling of his quarters, "You have no idea how long it took me to get this far let alone through medical school without breaking down about my past so I do not see where you get the impression that my depression rules my life." He paused, "Because if it did I wouldn't have picked up on your covert flirting below the professionalism you tried very hard to keep forward during the entire time you were helping me, or attempting to counselor."

She stood there with her arms wrapped around her self to get control of her emotions. She heard what the Doctor had said but it took her a few moments to respond. When she did, she looked at him with counselor's eyes "I got that impression when you stated that you will be alone until the time that you are found dead or killed in the line of duty. That no one, even members from your own family, what's left of them, can't even get to you to talk to you. However it seems that you are not as depressed and despondent as you appear to be and for that I apologize for making such an assumption. I flirted with you to let you know that women can still e interested in you, despite what has happened in the past. As you have stated, what's in the past should stay in the past. I do not believe other women would worry about something that has already happened, but look at what could happen"

He sighed, "I can kill without even thinking about it. That is what scares me. My family can't reach me because the last time that I tried to talk to them they sent me to medical for psychological evaluation. So as you can see that leaves me alone in life."


She listened to him, as he sighed then told her that he can kill without even thinking about it, that the last time he tried to talk to them, they sent him in for a psych eval. She sighed a bit too, struggling with her thoughts and how to voice them "You've heard of the Battle of Betazed, during the Dominion War correct? I am sure you have since the Dominion came to Betazed and took over. We had to fight for our lives, go against our very beliefs to drive them from our home. Some of us were 'conditioned' to use our telepathic abilities to get inside their minds and destroy them" She paused "I was one of them. I joined a resistance group and helped destroy Dominion camps, military bases, I killed hundreds with my mind and eventually assisted in driving them from Betazed. When it was all over, we went back to our peaceful ways and I was counseled cause it disturbed me that I could kill so easily. In return, I decided to help those who were troubled mentally. You are not alone, Doctor. I know that pain myself" She said quietly, not wanting to remember that part of herself

He rolled so he was on his side facing out, "Perhaps I am no longer alone knowing this now about you. Emotionally that is. Physically still I'm alone because I doubt you want to date a Doctor who snaps from time to time." He coughed a little, "And who works so hard he makes himself sick."

She listened to him with an impassioned expression, still standing in place but she moved her arms to cross them across her chest "Who better to deal with you when you snap then a counselor, Doctor? I could very well snap too. As I too suffer from flashbacks but I try to control them. As for working yourself sick and to the point of exhaustion, you're not the only one that does that. There are many people who do" She then cracked a bit of a smile "I am most likely the only person on this ship that can relief you of your duties, enough so that you can get the rest you need. That and your assistant"

"So is that your way of saying you are going to try and love me when you're not busy trying to diagnose what I'm suffering from mentally?" He was smiling a bit, "You know if you want to say something like that you could just come cuddle on the couch with me. I think I'm ok enough for cuddling."

She wavered a moment but then the counselor in her came back, the woman in her was delighted to be with this man and wanted to love him forever if he let her but the counselor is her was still in effect "Isn't that against the rules, Doctor? A doctor, or counselor, isn't supposed to fall in love with there patient, are they?" She asked, the woman in her seemingly falling in love with him at first glance, but they counselor in her saying she shouldn't feel this way

"Well if that is the case then maybe couples shouldn't serve on the same ship, or even people who are dating each other for that instance. There is no regulation saying that your personal life has to be dictated by what you do as a profession on a ship. So if you wouldn't mind shutting your professional self off for a moment and acting like yourself I would be the happiest man to ever get sick in his life."

She simply started at him for a few moments, placing her hands on her hips trying to thing of what to say in her counselor self, eventually not being able to find anything. The woman in her finally stamped the counselor down and she giggled a bit "Who doctor's the doctor and who counsels the counselor? I say we counsel and doctor ourselves" With that she finally moved over to the couch and layed down with, or on, him and grinned at him "I'll make you the luckiest man to get sick if you make me the luckiest woman who can doctor the luckiest and most attractive doctor in the quadrant"

He wrapped his arms around her when she finally decided to lay with him. Wrapping her in the blanket, "Is that so? You're going to give me a big head complementing me like that." He then kissed her on the cheek, "So lets say we get some sleep before you have to go back on duty, so I can make you breakfast, anything you want, in the morning before things get heated?"

She felt his arms go around her, as well as the blanket he used "Is that so?" he said imitating him "I only state what I feel is the truth and if you get too big a head, I may just bring my counselor side back out" She giggled, giving him a hard time. She felt his kill and she smiled "That sounds like a very good idea, Ivery, getting some more sleep as I was woken up in the middle of the night. Then I would love for you to make me breakfast and perhaps I can dish out some dessert" She grinned at him, then before she could stifle it, she yawned

He smiled back at her, "That would be pleasant but I would prefer to move this relationship at a pace that is gradual and not so sudden. So neither one of us regrets starting to get to know each other then Doctor and consoler. I hope you understand and agree to that one simple term."

She wondered what sort of Betazoid dessert she could come up with when she heard him speak again. She raised her brow a moment before lowering it again then gave an agreeing nod "That is an acceptable term to me, Ivery. I do not mean to move at a pace that is uncomfortable to you and If I seem to be moving too fast, i would like you to tell me. Is that agreeable?"

"I can agree to that term." He smiled and cuddled her more protectively. "Can't wait to wake up for the first time in a long while I got someone to look forward to seeing in the morning."

She nodded when he agreed and felt his arms more firmly around her, which pressed her more into him. "This I am pleased to hear, that would are looking forward to waking up in the morning. As I too have a good reason to wake up too. I don't have to wake up to an empty bed" She giggled a bit more

He chuckled softly, "Not anymore unless you wish it you don't have to." He then yawned, "Excuse me seams that its time to head back to bed as my body is still tired. At least the cough is gone so I can cuddle you."

She shook her head a little "I find the thought of waking up in your arms better then waking up alone" When he yawned, she couldn't help but yawn as well "I have heard that can be catching. It seems it is true. The cough is gone, which is a good sign. Do you wish to lie here on the couch or move to the bed where we can both stretch out in comfort?"

"The bed would be more acceptable encase we roll in the night. I do not wish for injury to come to either one of us." He then chuckled, "Plus the blankets are much more comfortable in there then out here."

She felt comfortable laying on him in his arms and she didn't want to move but she willed herself to slip out of his grasp and stood, offering her hand to help him up "It would not do either of us good to be injured by falling off the couch" She said with a grin "And with more comfortable blankets in the other room, we can get cozier and sleep more in comfort"

He took the offered hand and rolled out of the couch putting the blanket back. " Not only that but also back cramps are terrible to walk out." He then walked her back to the sleeping area of the quarters turning on the lights just enough to see what they were doing. "The bed awaits madam."

She gently helped him off the couch, careful not to pull him too much "Sounds like you need a good massage when you get these cramps of yours" She then walked with him into his sleeping area, her eyes adjusting to the low level light. She smiled a bit wearily "Yes, it does, good sir. Shall we keep it waiting no longer"?

He went and pulled back the covers for the bed and then patted the side for her to lay on putting his hand out to her, "I think it cruel to make it wait any long as you look just about ready to pass out on your feet."

She watched as he went to pull back the covers. "Getting woken up in the middle of the night does that" She smiled in amusement then started walking over, starting to pull the tie that held her robe closed but then paused "I um, usually sleep in the nude. Will that be alright for you or would you prefer I keep my robe on?" She asked curiously

He walked closer to her looking into her eyes his hand over her's that was on the tie of her robe, "I would like you to sleep however you are comfortable, but I can not say I can control myself. For I am experiencing emotions I thought were dead in me."

She looked into his eyes, feeling his hand go to hers as it still was in the movement of untying her robe. She then smirked, humor lighting her black eyes "I think I will take that risk. As for your emotions, I can feel them starting to return to you. I don't feel the hopelessness I felt in you before"

He smiled and then kissed her softly and tenderly before breaking the kiss. "How can I feel hopeless with such beauty before me?" His hand was at the nape of her neck gently holding her head in his hand while pulling on the tie of the robe with the other.

She kissed him back, feeling the promise of a good future for them both. Course, she thought the road might get rocky from time to time. She blushed a bit at his compliment "I'm not sure. All I know is that I feel happy to be before the handsome man before me" She could feel him pull the string and she pulled as well. The cinch gave way and the robe fell open, revealing her nudity underneath

Seeing her nude body peak out at the now opened robe woke apart of him that was asleep for a long time. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, and had to ask her a question, "Is it wrong of me to want to make love to you right now?"

She could empathically feel him wake up with desire as he saw her body underneath her robe "I don't believe it would, as long as I could make love to you. Although you did mention you wanted to go slow. Have you changed your mind"?

He looked her in the eyes, "I just don't want to hurt you. Disappoint you, or turn you away from men should I not be the one for you." He had to step away from her taking his shirt and glasses off setting the glasses on the bed stand. "But you have waking apart of me I though was dead, and I want to show you that side. Only if you wish it."

She smiled at him as he looked into her eyes "And I too don't want to hurt or disappoint you and I can assure you that I will not turn away from men should we not be right for each other" He watched as he went back to take off his glasses and she smiled a bit more, thinking how handsome he looked, with or without them "I wish it. I can feel that part of you waking up" She then shed her robe, letting it drop to the floor "and now I wish to feel that part of you inside me" She said seductively

He took her in his arms lovingly holding her kissing her fiercely and with passion several times before speaking, "I love and want you." His boxers the only thing between them as he lovingly ran his hand through her hair feeling how soft her body and hair was looking into her eyes. His brown ones meeting her black ones.

She felt his arms go around her once again and felt her kissing showering her. She kissed him back, the passion she felt from him fueling hers "I love you to, Ivery. I believe I have from the moment I set eyes on you, although I just didn't know it. I want you too. I want to feel you inside me." She pressed her body closer to him, feeling him straining against the boxers he wore. She looked into his lovely brown eyes as his fingers threading through her black hair and caressing her soft skin

He kissed her once more and picked her up in his arms. Only to place her gently down on the bed. Lovingly laying on top of her kissing her lips, neck and shoulders. Not knowing where to touch her next as his hands frantically touched her.

She felt him kiss her and she kissed him back before being lifted into his arms, and then into bed. She felt his weight press down comfortably against her and she smiled as he kissed her, and she kissed him back, feeling his kisses going to her neck and shoulder, heating her skin where his lips touch, his hands moving across her body. Her hands frantically caressed and felt his body, loving the feel of the muscles in his back "That feels so good" She whispered to him

"Feels so right." he whispered back between the kisses he was planting on her pulling the sheet over them both. "Computer...lights off." With that the couple was put in darkness to spend the rest of the night in each other's arms.

"Indeed it does feel so right" She whispered back to him, feeling his continued kisses to heat her skin. She barely noticed the sheet he pulled over the both of them. The lights went out at his command and she could only feel him in mind and spirit as she spend the rest of the night hours in her lovers arms

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

He slept with her in his arms. Every part of him touching every part of her, but still the dreams came. It was a few hours till it was time to wake but he woke out of his sleep with a start. His breath nearly taken away. The nightmare still playing in his head. All he could see was that as he fratically held onto her. Protecting her.

He was muttering in a half sleep state, "No...no. Not going to take her. Not now not ever. She's done nothing...wrong. You can't take her!"

His breath was that as if his body was truely in a panic state and his mind raced to take in what was happening around him. He was reliving the past in his quarters with her in his arms. It couldn't be helpted and in the back of his mind he knew that they were safe but that part was pushed back by all the imagery that seamed so real to him.

[Yeoman Azuma Stadi]

She fell asleep in his arms with a contented smile on her lips and a contented feeling throughout her whole being. She was dreaming of home hen she felt a jerking movement under her. That woke her up and she was about to ask what was wrong when all of a sudden she felt panic and desperation and Ivery's arms nearly crushing her ribs

He is dreaming that dream again, she thought as she gasped some air into her lungs. From his mumblings, he was trying to prevent someone from taking "her", saying she didnt do anything wrong

She moved a hand to his cheek and tried to speak to him, to soothe him back to the present but getting enough air to speak was proving difficult. She spoke directly into his mind ~ Ivery, Imzadi. Everything is alright. You're safe, I'm safe and you're crushing my ribs! ~

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

He then let go of her and grabed a medical triquarter, "Are you alright?"

He was fully awake now and in full medical mode. "I am so, sorry. I didn't even know what I was doing."

He got his glasses on and started taking readings, "So very sorry love I didn't mean to hurt you like that."

He was frantically reading the triquarter to see what all was done. " Please forgive me for holding you that tightly in my sleep...didn't even know I what I was doing."

His breath was fraticly trying to keep up with his mind and being woken out of a dream so quickly by someone who he cared for deeply. So much so to hear her in pain made him hurt.

[Yeoman Azuma Stadi]

She left his mind and brought in a full breaoth of air into her lungs when he loosened his grip, also breathing a sigh of relief "Yes, I am fine now, now that I can breathe again" She said in a joking manner, knowing he was still a bit panicked, especially when he knew he hurt her. She was attempting to lighten the mood so he could relax

"It's quite alright. The body acts accordingly when a person is in a state of half asleep and half waking" She stated as he reached for a tricorder to scan her, the counselor in her making an appearance

She craned her neck a little to see what he tricorder would say about her. She didn't feel anything was broken so that was a good sign. She bent down to kiss him to let him know that she was alright and to help calm his fears

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

He shut the triquarter and just as he did she caught him in a kiss and he couldn't help but relax and hold her in his arms. Breaking the kiss he spoke, "You're fine love. I didn't hurt you just held you too tightly."

He looked into her eyes brushing some of her hair back away from her face and behind her ear, "I had to make sure because I love you too much to loose you. Which I won't because I just brused you a little and for that I can't appologize enough."

[Yeoman Azuma Stadi]

She felt him relax under her kiss then broke it to tell her that she's fine, teling her that he just held her too tight and dind't hurt her. She knew that. If she was hurt, she would tell him "Yes, I know, Imzadi. I felt your strong arms around me as they held me firmly in that bear hug."

She automatically blinked when he brushed some of her hair back behind her ear, revealing more of her face. She smiled at him lovingly "It's all right. You won't lose me that easily. I love you too, even though we haven't known each other long. I did mention that I don't break that easily. Did you want to tes that theory?" She giggled a bit

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

He chuckled a bit, "I think I already have tested but we could aways go for round two." He put his glasses on the bedstand on his side of the bed and kissed her deeply with much passion before breaking it.

"That is if you are up to it, and I promass this time not to wake up or wake you up by squezzing too hard."

[Yeoman Azuma Stadi]

She glanced over, watching him put his glasses back on the nightstand before he kissed her again, this time with passion. She smiled, breaking the kiss long enough to say "Round two sounds very good to me, Imzadi" She then giggled "The only thing I want to see wake up is.." She sent him a mental image of what she had in mind, then kissed him deeply again

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

"I think that can be arranged." He smirked and contiuned to kiss her and touch her intamently. "Round two it is." He held her in his arms gently kissing and touching her in places he knew would please her.
