[Deck 11 Main Engineering]

Lieutenant O’Riley was finishing up a few things before calling it a day when Lieutenant Thomas walked over “Hey Chief, I was wondering if you’re busy tonight, I could use your engineering expertise on a project I’ve been working on” Stevie stated with a smile.

“Well it just so happens I’m free this evening” he replied in a teasing manner “So yes I’d be more than happy to help you” then he paused “Let me grab a quick shower to wash off the day then I’ll be over.”

“Sounds good and I appreciate your help with this” she answered with a smile “So I’ll see you shortly then” as Stevie turned and left for home.

[Deck 4 Stevie’s Quarters]

Liam rang the door chime with Stevie opening the door “Hi, come in” she stated with a smile as Liam walked in “So what’s this project you need help with” he inquired curious at what it could possibly be.

“Before we get into that would you like something to drink and maybe dinner first.”

“Actually yes, I’m rather hungry now that you mention dinner and whatever you’re having is fine with me” Liam replied with a grin.

“Good, have a seat and I’ll grab us dinner” as Stevie turned and headed to the replicator. A few minutes later she returned “Beef stew with crusty bread, if that’s ok and a glass of wine to go with.”

“No that’s fine, I’m not very picky when it comes to food” as he grabbed his meal from her. Stevie sat beside him as they enjoyed their dinner together.

After everything was cleaned up “ Let me go in the bedroom and I’ll show you what I’ve been working on and need your input with” she commented with a smile then left the living area.

Several minutes later she returned wearing a half shirt without buttons and sleeves cut at three quarter length from the shoulder. The front was completely open showing skin from the neck to the navel and only covering half of her breasts as well as the essentials.

“So what do you think of my project” Stevie inquired with a big grin.

Looking at her attire “Well it’s certainly different that’s for sure” then he paused “So are you looking to wear this outside of your quarters” Liam commented realizing what a nice body Stevie really has.

“I’d like to if I can get the fit right and that’s where you come in. So far when I move a certain way I end up with…..how can I put this…..a ‘nip slip’ of sorts” she explained with a grin.

Realizing exactly what Stevie meant Liam chuckled “I suppose that would be a little embarrassing to stay the least.”

“That depends on where I am and who I’m with” she stated with a light laugh hoping Liam was catching her inference.

Sitting beside Liam facing him “I need your expertise with this part” as she moved the material over to only cover part of her breasts “I need something to form around my breasts that will stay put. I thought of using a wire material but that may be uncomfortable” she explained with a smile “And using heavier material wouldn’t give me the look I’m going after.”

Thinking for a minute “You’re right on both counts” as he moved his hand towards one of her breasts “May I” he inquired with a smile before touching her.

“Yes, of course” she replied.

Taking the material and holding it against the front of her breast he accidentally touched something he shouldn’t have then looking into her eyes with a grin “Sorry, didn’t mean to do that” as he checked to see how it would hang “What you need is a flat material about three eighths of an inch wide and about a sixteenth thick stiff enough to hold it’s shape on the inside of the shirt. That way it should still be comfortable” Liam explained.

With a grin “I really didn’t mind so don’t think twice about it” Stevie replied rather enjoying his touch even though it was brief “That’s why I wanted your expertise…..I didn’t even think about using that sort of material” Stevie replied as she stood “Let me go and replicate another doing as you’ve suggested and see how that works” as she went to the replicator.

Several minutes later “I’ll be right back” as Stevie left for her bedroom. Minutes later she walked back into the living area “I think that did the trick…..so what do you think now” as she stood in front of Liam with her hands on her hips.

“I think that looks very sexy and the fit certainly is much much better while still it shows off your gorgeous figure” he replied thinking it was time to let her know what he really thought about her body “So what do you think since you’ll be the one wearing it.”

Looking down at herself a moment “I really like the way it looks and fits. I’ll probably wear it around here for awhile just to make sure things stay put no matter which way I move” she replied then sat back down next to Liam “I’d probably only wear this when you and I went out together for an evening and maybe pair it with low rider pants of either denim or leather” she replied then paused “You think I have a gorgeous figure?”

“Yes I do; you’re breathtaking to look at.” Then thinking he’d have a little fun “Although that would make a great addition to the female uniform” as he chuckled teasingly; a habit he was picking up from Stevie.

“Maybe the Captain would consider it……that would certainly make work more fun and there are quite a few ladies I’ve noticed with great bodies” she quipped with a grin.

“You do know I was kidding right” as he could just see the look on Baas’s face at the inquiry for a female uniform change like that.

Laughing “Yes of course I know you’re kidding” she answered “There’s something else I’d like to attempt designing…..two clasps with a chain between them to hold the bottom in place and also a necklace of some sort, maybe Celtic inspired, to hang from my neck down to my navel area; what do you think.”

“That would look very nice and would still allow your shirt to look quite sexy at the same time” he replied “Being Irish I do know a fair bit about Celtic design so I could help if you’d like.”

With a smile “Yes I’d like that but probably some other time in the near future, if you’re good with that” she stated thinking it would give her a good excuse to spend more time with Liam and maybe start having more of a physical relationship.

“Sure just let me know when it’s convenient for you and I’ll see if I can fit you into my social calendar” he replied with a chuckle knowing no such thing even existed.

“Oh your social calendar huh” she retorted with a snicker then stood “I’m going to go change my top…..I’ll be right back” as Stevie walked into her bedroom leaving Liam on the couch laughing to himself over her last statement.

Minutes later she returned and sat next to Liam “Thank you so much for your help with my project; it really means a lot to me” Stevie stated then moved closer to Liam “So Mr. O’Riley what would you like to talk about.”

Grinning looking at Stevie “Maybe this conversation Ms. Thomas?” as he leaned in and gave her a rather passionate kiss for a few minutes.

With a smile “I thought you’d never ask” she replied in a low sultry voice then put her arms around his neck and kissed Liam like she hadn’t kissed a guy in a long time.
