Longings, My Mistress K/E [PG]

Summary: Kirk's thoughts about his proud mistress.

~~~

The ship is quiet; but still I hear her whisper to me. She begs me
to free her from her moorings.

Her wounds are healed; she's ready to bolt out into the darkness--
her home--my home--our home.

She wants me to command her, to hold her, and stroke her. To sit

at the Conn so she can cradle me in her arms.

I hear her soft plea and am only too ready to comply. Like the
lovers we are--I can deny her nothing.

I say the words she longs to hear: " Take us out, Mister Sulu."
