[Too Cool Verse - Just the Thought of You]

[nyota_uhura24]

Now that she slept beside Leo every night, Nyota slept better than she had ever slept in her life. It was such a comfort to drift off to sleep in his arms, to know that he'd be there beside her when she woke up. When he was there, she felt... safe. He had even rearranged his schedule so they could spend more nights together, and though she'd told him he didn't need to she was incredibly grateful that he had.

Tonight, however, Doctor M'Benga was sick, so she was left alone in her room for the first time in a long time. She lay in bed for about half an hour before she decided it was useless. Tired as she was, she simply couldn't sleep without him. Memories she didn't want to remember were flitting about the edge of her mind, and she couldn't chase them away alone. Nyota, this is ridiculous, she told herself, but it was no use.

Deciding a walk might help settle her mind, she wandered out into the hallway, still wearing sweat pants and pulling a hoodie over her tank top. She walked without any particular destination in mind but her feet took her straight to Leo's quarters. He wasn't there, but she typed in the code and walked inside anyway. The sight of his room made her smile. When did I get to be like this, so completely unable to live without him? She wasn't sure, but it didn't matter: she wouldn't have it any other way. She walked around the room, glanced at the picture of his adorable daughter, let her eyes wander to the bed they'd spent so many nights in together. I'm exhausted, she realized. Maybe I'll just... lie down for a little while.

One of his shirts was draped over the desk chair. She looked at it for a moment, shook her head and walked towards the bed, then paused and walked back. If I'm going to be ridiculous... She pulled off her hoodie and tank top and put on his shirt instead. It smells like him. She hugged her arms to her chest, feeling instantly a little better wrapped up in his shirt, and then lay down in the bed. It was warm and familiar. She could almost convince herself that he was there beside her... I'll just lie here for a little while... Her eyes drifted shut, and in minutes she was asleep.

Nyota smiled into the kiss, eagerly accepting his invitation to slip her tongue into his mouth. She shuddered against him as his hand traced the waistline of her pants, kissing him more aggressively as her need grew. That deep accent made her stomach clench with desire. Fingertips trailed down his chest, tracing light circles over his nipples. "I very much want you to," she whispered against his lips, eventually diverting to trail kisses up his jaw. She lightly nipped his ear and then breathed words against the sensitive skin: "But after such a wonderful back rub, I also want to do whatever you want."

Leonard stroked Nyota's tongue with his own gently, having missed this. Sure, they slept beside one another every night, but this was something he simply couldn't get enough of. It was hard enough for him to keep his hands to himself during the day when they ran into each other, but here, he didn't have to hold back and he was taking advantage of that. "Well, darlin', the problem with that logic is that what you want is really all I want, so that, in reality, leaves it completely up to you," he teased softly, shutting his eyes as her hot breath caressed the soft skin behind his ear and his hands tightened on her hips just slightly.

She loved being able to touch him like this, loved that there was no reason to hold back. A few simple touches and she already felt herself unraveling. His words sent a spike of lust through her, making her stomach clench with desire. It hadn't been long at all since they'd been together, but she already felt the need for him growing. "Well in the case," she murmured, hand finding his hip and pushing down so that she could encourage him to roll over on his back. "I suppose we can always do exactly what I want." Her lips found his again as her hands skimmed down his chest to toy with the hem of his boxer-briefs. "I'm sure you know by now that I have no problem calling the shots."

He couldn't help but grin as she pushed against his hips and he rolled onto his back, pulling her on top of him as he did so. "You know I have no problem whatsoever letting you call the shots, darlin'," he exhaled, his boxer-briefs growing uncomfortably tight as she slid her fingers across it teasingly and he looped his thumbs beneath the hem of her sweat-pants, trying to work them off of her.

She let out a soft moan of satisfaction as he pulled her on top of him. "I know," she purred, mouth abandoning his to trail kisses down his jaw until she could suck at the juncture between neck and shoulder. "But since you've agreed, I hope you don't mind listening to all my instructions," she whispered, voice husky. Her hands found his to push his arms above his head. She ignored his efforts to remove her sweatpants and let one of her hands drift to his boxer-briefs. She didn't remove them yet, but slipped a hand inside to stroke him teasingly.
