"???Chapter Twenty SixLaura came out of the shower, smelling of soap and her perfume. She waswearing a cotton dress and no bra. We sat and watched tel...vision forabout half an hour, petting like two fifteen year olds. "I better goand let you go to bed; it's been a long day."She looked disappointed, "Before you go, could you help me withsomething?" Sure." She led me down the hall to her room, we entered, the bedsidelight was on. Thinking she wanted the main light repaired, I turned;she had shut. A lot of people considered her the most attractive of the girls, for her cute face framed by short blond hair and her remarkably slender figure. She'd gotten offers to be a Page 3 girl and to do similar jobs, but had yet to say 'yes'- she wasn't a prude by any means, but she felt just a bit shy compared to some of the other girls.Louise English was Sue's best friend and a popular member of the group in her own right. A familiar face, dark-haired and tan-skinned, she was often given prominent. Even her second-hand Borg memories, stolen from thousands of races, had nothing to compare to the real thing! Seven decided that B'Elanna, while merely mentally adequate, must have 'hidden' talents as a sexual companion.'Tom felt like this every night?' Seven wondered silently in awe. No wonder he always had a smile on his face, even after his recent demotions.B'Elanna lay content in her lover's arms. Paris had been unusually enthusiastic tonight, but like usual, he had strummed her inner. ‘Hi, yourself,’ I said. ‘I’m dreaming again, aren’t I?’ ‘Maybe,’ Christian replied. ‘But if you are, I hope you wake up thinking it was a good dream.’ His arms enveloped me as I moved closer to him. When I felt his lips press against my forehead, I began to wonder if I had maybe just fallen asleep that long and Christian had just woken me up when he got home. No such luck. As I closed my eyes and reached for his lips with my own, I heard a thud from behind me. Startled, my eyes flew open only.
