Sole Survivor
Location: Captain's quarters
Timeline: MD 05 - 1930
Having stripped out of her uniform and changed into a loose-fitting black top and matching drawstring pants, Jules padded barefoot into the common area making a beeline for the replicator. With her hair down, and slightly messy, she looked considerably more vulnerable than she did when on duty. Probably the combination of her petite frame and lean figure, those who didn't know her often mistook her for being frail and helpless though Jules was anything but. At the moment though, she was looking for a mug of hot chocolate, something sinfully rich and warm.
Daegan was tucked away in the bathroom tub as he heard Jules moving about their quarters. Hearing the replicator he let off soft whistle, pour a glass of her favorite wine.
Hot chocolate in hand, she returned to their bedroom and waited for her husband, the blankets drawn up to her waist, her two hands wrapped around the mug. The sleeves of her top were long, extending down over her hands, so that only her fingers showed, manicured but without polish or length. Jules preferred to be useful rather than decorative. Her knees were drawn up, providing a back support for the PADD she was reading. Intelligence work meant endless briefing summaries, data analyses, and the like; she kept up by using the moments she waited to fight her way an inch further up the enormous pile of data before her.
Whistling again he leaned back, figuring she was diving into more work he called out. "Put that padd down and get in here."
She finished the section before setting the PADD aside and climbed out of bed. Movie nights, snuggled under blankets, filled with lots of laughter and more than a few critiques, sometimes complete with acting out impossible scenes, was something they both enjoyed. She placed her mug on the nightstand and walked into the bathroom to see what he needed.
As she walked in Daegan was sitting in their tub. His long hair cascading over his shoulder, a thick layer of bubbles covering the water, and a glass of wine in each hand. "Care to join me?"
"Mmm," Jules said softly, "this is a good start to movie night." She stripped slowly because she knew her audience, twisted her hair up into a messy bun, and stepped into the tub. She took her glass of wine as she sank below the bubbles, stretching out her legs as far as she could. "I like how you think, Daegan."
Rubbing her shoulders as she layed back against him. "I do have a good idea now and than...better than the stack of padds i bet are still spread out over the bed."
"It's all about the knowing," Jules said. "Sides, its movie night ... I was just filling in time until you showed up ... or did you forget again?"
He intensified his work on her neck and shoulders. "Oh not at all. I just hid myself in here waiting on you as a little twist to the norm."
"Twists are good," Jules purred softly relaxing into the magic of his hands. "I do love a good twist ..."
Lowering his head he took her earlobe between his teeth, as his hands moved down her arms beneath the surface of the water sliding forward...as the comm sounded.
== Bridge to Captain Baas. ==
"Well that wasn't the twist I was going for..."
Jules growled, sliding her hand beneath the water, fingers searching while Daegan dealt with ship's business. She made no move to leave, however, since she wasn't one to give up on an evening in without a good reason. And so far at least, none had been provided.
Staying where he was, he replied to the hail. "Bass here."
== Captain you have a transmission coming in from Commander Cartwright at the Star Fleet Computer System's Center. ==
Route it..." his reply interrupted as Jules hands played underwater to which he gave her a playful pinch. "Route it here, audio only."
Not to be deterred, Jules pinched him back, equally playfully, and bent over enough to get to the more interesting places.
== Yes Sir. ==
He waited a brief moment for the transfer before speaking. "Captain Baas here, What can I do for you Commander."
Commander Cartwright was no fool. The lack of visual let him know he had caught the Captain at a bad time so he made sure to be brief. == Sorry to bother you Captain but I wanted to bring an important issue to your attention. ==
"Go on."
"Go," Jules mouthed, laughing silently, as her fingers began their explorations.
He scowled playfully, wagging his finger at her, as he mouthed. "Behave."
== Well prior to the Valkyrie's departure, I was contacted by your Ensign Thomas concerning a systems update...==
Daegan jumped in, "Our systems are brand new, we shouldn't have needed an update."
==...That was exactly why she contacted me. A quick check found that it wasn't a legitimate update and an alert was issued. Further examination found this was an attempt to compromise our systems. Several starships at Utopia had to be isolated, and investigations are still ongoing, but your Ensign prevented what could have a major vulnerability. Or even worse. I am sending you my report and citation. ==
Daegan admittedly felt a sense of pride that a member of his crew had been so vital, no just to the ship but to Star Fleet as a whole. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention Commander. This will be one report I am definitely looking forward to."
== Again, sorry for interrupting your evening Captain, Cartwright out. ==
Relaxing back into the water as he put his arms out along the edge. "Well I'll be damned..."
"You'll be something," Jules murmured as she nuzzled his neck. "But I don't think it'll be damned."
With his hands under the water he placed them on her waist. Chuckling a bit, "You know, the last time you threatened me like that we ended up with Esme nine months later."
"If you think that's a threat," Jules murmured into his ear, "I have a lot of reeducating to do." She let her fingernails slide along the tops of his thighs, each pass drawing slightly closer, going a little farther.
His own hands slid lower, gliding effortlessly over her curves before gripping her firmly and pulling her to him. Turning his face to hers, "That's a class I'll sign up for...every time."
"Fair warning," Jules murmured into his ear, her breath warm against his skin, "the tests are hard to pass."
His hand had slid up her back and he grabbed a fist full of her hair pulling her back slowly, nibbling at her jawline as he did. Looking into her eyes hungrily, "Is that right?"
"Yes indeed," Jules answered, her smile warm and inviting. "Will probably require a lot of study. Maybe a few pop quizzes."
Rising from the water taking he with him giving her a swat as she clung to him while he headed to their bedroom. "I gotta 'pop quiz ' for ya...."
Laughing, Jules steadied herself against his back and gave his butt a solid squeeze. "Now you're talking."
