In a matter of seconds both Charles and Sam materialized in the cramped compartment of the runabout. Sam stowed away their gear, while Charles checked what the best route was for …. Sam changed in some dry cloths and she felt her stomach rumble, she was hungry. She made her way to the little replicator and ordered a cheese sandwich.
“Can I get you anything Sir", Sam asked.
"Mmm...The same you're having would be nice and make me a special drink the N° 39", Answered Charles
Sam ordered a second sandwich and drink no 39, and brought it over to Charles.
“What do you think of all that Rex has told us Sir” Sam asked again, while she checked the helm settings. “If you don’t mind my saying it has brought up only more questions”. “I mean, why do Cardassians team up with a human. Is it only because he has brought them a cloaking device. They could have killed him and still have the device. And what does he want with the slaves?”
"I don't know though I have a theory I think he's making some kind of vessel so he can perform his revenge against the Alliance, The Federation and Capt. Hunter", stated Charles.
“I see, don’t you recon that we should sent some message to the Zion, just to let them know that we are still alive and also to let them know what we have found out sofar.
"No,I don't... We'll maintain radio silence until it's a real emergency... we don't know who might be watching us", said Charles.
“I understand, so now what is your idea about plan B Sir, Sam said with a teasing voice and a glitter in her eye.
"Yeah...", said Charles taking Sam's hand.
Sam’s cheeks flushed red, she knew it was only make-believe, but she never had much attention from any men, let alone been in an relationship. She felt a little uncomfortable especially cause she knew Charles was engaged to Melissa. Teasing and flirting was o.k. but how far should this new cover go?.
"Well Sam, first of all you must remember I'm a Betazoid, Secondly we should have a relationship going on and not pretend to have one...I know that you think of Melissa, but if you do so you'll get us killed", said Charles starting to explain her "In this business you have to feel a lot just in case we got in trouble... so the first step of this is to get comfortable with one another"
Charles looked at the beautiful girl he had in front of him and hated to do this to her but was for the best of the mission so he better enjoy it. He took her hand and pulled her closer to him and gave her a kiss.
Sam shivered. They kissed again. Sam felt her own passion, and Charles’ building. She pulled him closer. In Sam’s mind, she and Charles were alone, adrift upon the Opal sea, their bodies supported by gently undulating waves. As her desire grew, she moved her arms, her hands, sensually around his body, caressing him, sneaking her fingers through his hair. She pulled closer to him, when suddenly her mind took over again and she froze.
Sam pushed Charles back and rose from her seat trying to get her feelings and emotions under control. “Wauw, sorry Sir, she said with a trembling voice, I got carried away”. Sam looked down, she had probably gone too far and did not want to look Charles in the eyes.
"Look at me Sam... Don't see any ghosts over here it's just you and me... Imzadi", He projected his thoughts into her mind. Sam looked up.
"Don’t be afraid", he said out loud, as he moved to her. He kissed her again. The warmth of his breath, the softness of his lips, his skin, brushing against her, seemed all too real. He drew back, his face flushed, his eyes bright with desire.
"Don't go against the feeling just go with the flow", Charles said in a wisper.
Sam started to relax, as she felt Charles palm of his hand slid sensuously down the side of her neck, over the curve of her shoulder, then inside to her waist. He pulled her to him. In that instant, all thoughts of Cardassians, Captain Jenkins, faded into the void. Their two bodies were pressed together like two mangled sides of an orange. Charles pressed his mouth to her neck holding her in his arms until all her muscles relaxed and the trembling subsided.
Charles started to project feelings of warmth and calmness into Sam's mind he notoced that she had an issue with man and decided to help her as much as he can... suddenly Mellisa's memories become to fade and he started to get carred away by this girl that answered to his movments spontaneusly and passionate.
He said "Inzadi...", as they proceed to the runnabout's quarters
