Mission: Breaking New Ground
Location: Archadia Prime, remote area

((OCC -- I have to apologize to you guys. I had a completely different post written for this and it sat way too long. So I wrote this one up tonight. Maybe not the best but at least it gets them on their vacation. lol -- Scott))

It had been two glorious days since Rick and El’Shar left 900’s vast corridors for his well-deserved vacation. While on Archadia Prime he’d taken her on a tour of some of the famous places on the planet like the Presidential Palace, where they met the current queen, and the Archadian Historical Museum, which wasn’t all that interesting aside from the architecture. But the natural vistas they saw, rolling hills, snow capped mountains and beautiful lakes, were what captivated them the most.

He’d obtained a cabin out in the woods, close to a lake, which allowed them to go boating. El’Shar said that it reminded her of some parts of Canada. And the fact that they weren’t breathing recycled air did wonders for them both. He’d cut firewood, she’d wander around the woods enjoying the forest, and they’d go inside for a meal cooked over the fireplace. He was a good cook, even under these conditions, and enjoyed being able to utilize fresh game and vegetables.

Some of their best times, however, had been lying in bed. The lovemaking was amazing, to say the least, but just being able to lie there, holding each other, and not being expected to respond to some emergency or another was soothing. Sometimes he would lie on her bare chest and just listen to her heart beating.

“Any thoughts on where you want to go next?” he asked as they lie in bed, this time her head on his chest. “We have two more days here but after that we could take the shuttle and check out some of the other Archadian planets in the area.”

She thought a moment, the possibilities being almost endless in this new quadrant. “I’ve studied the known area, but I think I’ll just have to leave it to you. I don’t know where many things are out here, so I’m hiring you to be my tour guide.”

He smiled and put his hands behind his head. Inhaling deeply he could smell the wood of the cabin permeating throughout, and the stew in the kettle over the fire was filling his nose, and making him hungry. Adding to that the smell of El’Shar, and the warmth of her beautiful body on his, he was right where he wanted to be.

“The other planets have their sights to see, that’s for sure. There’s a mountain on their third planet made almost entirely of a quartz-like substance, ice blue in color.” He kissed her head. “Beautiful.”

“A blue quartz mountain?” she replied. “That does sound beautiful.”

“It is, but I was referring to you.”

She looked up at him, smiled and kissed his chest. “You know, Rick, I’m rather enjoying just doing this. I know I asked for the grand tour of the Delta Quadrant, but I wouldn’t be upset at all with more of Archadia. This cabin, actually, with you.”

Sweeping a wisp of her long, black hair away from her face, he said, “I was kinda’ hoping you’d say that, but I don’t want you to miss out on anything.”

She slid up alongside of him and caressed his face. “I have plenty of time on my hands now. I can go to other planets anytime I please, assuming there’s no active warnings in the area.” She kissed him and looked into his eyes. “Really, Rick. I want this, right here, right now.”

He pulled her closer in for another, longer kiss. “As you wish,” he said. Just then, his stomach growled. Loudly.

Laughing, she crawled on top of him. “You’re not getting to eat until I get what I want.”

His eyebrows raised. “Oh yeah? And just what is it that you want?”

“Other than this,” she said, her eyes moving around the cabin, “I also want this.” With that, she reached between his legs and grabbed him gently. “Let’s just say that you’re really going to have to earn that stew in there.”

Feigning surprise, his hands rubbed either side of her ribs. “I made that stew in there! Now I have to earn the right to eat it?”

“So you’re saying I can’t have what I want?” she shot back with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Surprising her, he quickly turned her over onto her back and lay on top of her, holding her arms down by her head. He kissed her chest, her arms, her neck and her lips, tickling her and eliciting squeals of laughter. Stopping, he looked into her eyes. “El’Shar Blackhorse, I would give you everything I had if you asked.”

Her arms now free, she slid one hand gently down his chest and stomach. “For now, I just want you.”

Just the look of her brought a smile to his face. He never would have fathomed finding another woman that he felt so strongly about. But he did. And he was with her now.
