The Show (or showdown(s)
Chapter Five
Spock was running his hands through her hair as she lay besides him shuttering in the aftermath of their intimacy. Her eyes were still closed when she asked,
"My Spock, how would you describe me?"
A mental 'red flag' popped into his consciousness. Of course he was fully aware of her mental prowess and extraordinary beauty. The question that came to his mind was how he should list these in a way to not 'distress' his aduna. If he listed her beauty first, and not her mental abilities, she might be offended or vice versa. He scoured his brain and voiced,
"You complete me."
She snuggled closer and started kissing his forehead, his eyes, his cheeks, and finally his lips.
"Spock, you answered perfectly. You have figured me out."
"Indeed. Long exposure to anything, pleasant or even unpleasant allows for acceptance and further understanding."
It took a nanosecond for Spock to wish he could reel in the second part of his observation as he felt his aduna stiffen…
"Unpleasant…exposure…?"
As she rose to kneel by him the sheet slipped, exposing her beautiful body to him and out of necessity he started to formulate a way out of his present situation…
"K'diwa, The 'Vulcan Way' dictates that all activity should be productive and my human half also adds, if at all possible pleasurable, or the Vulcan equivalent of that mindset, so search my mind and you will be able to determine in what area I have placed you, our bonding and continued place in one another's lives."
His hands reached up and he brought her down on top of his prone body as he murmured,
"Most pleasurable of all activities…"
Her non-verbal reply was,
"Umm, Umm."
Spock thought to himself, as he mentally smiled,
'I will live to spar another day.'
A/N:
This will be the last in this series for a while so I will not mark it as complete. When a series of scenarios present themselves I will add them. I have no idea how many times Spock will put his foot in his mouth or Nyota will totally perplex her adun, but as in all relationships, sometimes they will be funny, other times less so. Thanks so much for reading this segment.
