Okay sorry for the tease, I was being evil.

The Truth is Sometimes Hard to Bear

Christopher was actually even more upset at the prospect that Spock was messing with SaraLee's head and her heart by the time he got back to his quarters.

"SaraLee?" Christopher entered the quarters and found her going through her homework. The PDA and the notebook side by side. He knew SaraLee liked to do her writing on paper and not on the computers. He found that oddly endearing. He couldn't stop the smile that came to his face.

"Yeah, would you like to grade it?" SaraLee smirked as she held up her PDA. He could smell her perfume that she used and body wash, he never wanted to forget that smell.

"No but I wanted to ask you why you didn't tell me about your conversation with Spock?"

Her eyes got wide, "I didn't know you wanted to know about every time someone made a comment about our relationship." SaraLee looked surprised. "Why are we explaining ourselves?"

Christopher exhaled and took SaraLee's face in his hands, "No, I just want anyone messing with you, I love you."

There he had said it, said how he felt deep down. "You love me? I know that you do but to actually hear it is different." SaraLee's voice was breaking.

"Yes, I am proud of my career but I have put love on the back burner for too long. I want you to be part of my life, we can figure everything out together. To hell with Commander Spock."

SaraLee grinned at the comment, "So that's how you found out? Our pointed-ear bastard was feeling guilty." the influx of her voice told Christopher that she was being mischievous.

"Apparently his human side does rear its head on occasion." Christopher bent down to kiss SaraLee.

"NO, not until I finish my homework. I get very distracted when you start kissing me." SaraLee bit her lip, her cheeks were getting redder which meant she was thinking about how it would finally be Christopher's.

SaraLee started to work on the assignment that Commander Spock had given to turn in after the holiday. She wanted to get it finished before Christopher and her left on their little trip. It was her chance to prove to Spock, Admiral Barnett, and the rest of Starfleet that she belonged. She let out the breath she had been holding for a long time. Life was getting better everyday, Christopher and her were getting closer, her classes were becoming easier to navigate, and well it was great.

That night as she settled in beside Christopher in the bed they now shared, she smiled and felt content. Closing her eyes oblivious to what would come in her sleep.

I was driving down the road in my car playing my Donnas CD, it's my favorite. I was on my way to the Hardware Store, the alarm had gone off and they couldn't get a hold of Benny Gerry, the owner. I had the code, so I got the 1130pm call from the local police station.

It was dark, nothing was open of course, it was quiet. I slowly got out of my car and approached the front of the store while getting the keys out of my purse. I opened up the door, nothing looked touched but Bojangles the cat was hissing at the back room.

"Hey, Bojangles, its okay kitty. Did you lose your mouse toy?" I walked over and pet the cat but he still continued to hiss at the door to the storage room.

I walked over to open it to see what was disturbing the cat, I did feel my heart start to jump out of my chest. When nothing appeared I breathed a sigh of relief, I shut the door. I turned around to leave only to see a man standing right behind me.

"What!" I gasped, "Take the money, take whatever you want." My heart jumping out of chest.

"I don't want your money, come with me." the man said, he held out his hand toward me but then he grabbed me around the waist forcefully, pulling me up against him. I turned my head to look at him only to realize that he was wearing a gold Starfleet uniform.

SaraLee's POV

I woke up with a start, I was sitting straight up, sweat pouring down my body. I looked over to see if I had woken up Christopher, I hadn't thank goodness. I gently removed his arm from my midsection. Tears were coming down, I didn't know how to digest this information, why would Starfleet take me? Did the Admiral know about this? I sprung out of bed and went to take a shower, hopefully Nyota would be up.

After I got my shower and preceded to get some workout clothes on, then I went to Nyota's room, hoping she was up. I hit the button for the intercom, "Nyota, are you up?" I queried hoping not to sound too panicked.

"Yes, come in." Nyota stated from the other side of the door. The door slide and I rushed in to see her also in her workout clothes.

"Hey, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd see if you would join me for an exercise?" My voice cracked and tears started to well up in my eyes again.

"Come in sweetie." Nyota pulled me in and the door slowly whooshed after me.

I was starting to sob slightly. "Did you Christopher get in a fight?" Nyota asked.

"No, I had a dream, I know who took me and gives no sense of peace." I shock my head, as if doing so would wipe the memory away. "A Starfleet officer took me Nyota, the very people who are suppose to protect me, were the ones that got me in this situation."

"Oh, god. Have you told Admiral Barnett? Surely he would re-open the investigation into how this happened." Nyota was trying to comfort me.

"I just don't know, how could someone do this, right under their noses? It took a lot of planning, going back in time three times no less. Then to put us on the planet and then somehow getting the Klingon's to put us on the ship. Someone wanted us here real bad and for what I don't know and that is what scares me." I was pacing back and forth in Nyota's quarters.

"Stop that now. You are leaving tomorrow morning with the man of your dreams. You are going to have a fabulous time because there is so much good in your relationship, no negative Nancy routine from you." Nyota scolded me, she was right though, this could wait till after Christopher and I trip.

"Okay, you are right. I mean, its been 250 years, what's another four days." I was not going to ruin my weekend with Christopher over the description of the person who took me.

"Now lets go for that workout that you are all dressed for. It will help you relax too." Nyota resolutely, pushing me out of the door towards the Academy gym.

Next Morning

After a long and vigorous workout, SaraLee returned to her quarters and took a shower again and continued on the rest of her day without thinking about her abductor. There were no classes today but Christopher was gone when she had come back, he had mentioned something the night before about a meeting. She got packed for their trip, Christopher had gotten a shuttle for the two of them to Massachusetts, so that way they could stay last minute if they liked. SaraLee smiled at the idea of complete alone time, no meetings, no classes, and no co-workers. Despite what she had discovered in the last twenty four hours, she was rather excited and optimistic. She was turning a corner, the road ahead for once seemed fairly easy. SaraLee looked at the some of the stuff that Nyota had helped her pick out, it was definitely not what you wore any old day. SaraLee zipped up her bag and moved it to the outside of her bedroom door.

"Are you ready to go?" Christopher asked, he must have come in when she was in her room.

"Yes, just got done packing, so when we leaving exactly?" SaraLee asked with a pout.

"In a couple of hours. I hope you packed everything that you and Uhura bought. I expect to see each and every outfit that was on that invoice. Barnett was very amused at the amount of money two women could spend in a few short hours." Christopher came closer and wrapped his arms around SaraLee.

"Yes, of course." SaraLee responded weakly. She was feeling the heat between their now connected bodies. "Was he mad?" Christopher did that her, made her feel all jumbled up but in a good way.

"No." Christopher answered simply as he bent down quickly and took my lips.

His hands stated to roam her body, she let out a groan which only served to encourage him.

"Chris…" SaraLee whimpered breathlessly, she felt Christopher's tongue enter her mouth and his hands going up her tank top that she wore.

"No talking, we're christening some surface of this quarters before we leave." Christopher's husky and filled lust.

SaraLee was promptly ridded of her tank top and shorts. She lightly touched the hem of Chris's shirt and started to lift it up, he let her take it off for him. Christopher discarded his shirt on the floor while SaraLee started to stroke his chest causing Christopher to shiver. He leaned into her more, rubbing their groins together, SaraLee moaned and that was Christopher needed to getting rid of both of their remaining clothing. He had tossed them down by the table, he lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. SaraLee loved the feel of their naked skin together sighing as they connected. Chris took one of her nipples in his hand rolling it slightly, which caused SaraLee to rub herself even more on Christopher. SaraLee started to kiss Christopher in attempt to get the reaction she was hoping for.

Christopher stopped his stroking of her breast and walked to the couch were he deposited SaraLee to continue what they had both started. Finish it they did.
