Here's an idea that is new to me, though maybe not to you. It's
not a round robin, but it will be a continuing story in which I
am asking for assistance and ideas from the readers--though I'm
not sure now long the final story will be. The idea is to read
the story, then vote on what course the next segment will take.
Hopefully this will involve not only people at are presently
writing fantic but those that haven't taken the plunge yet as
well. Instructions follow at the end of this part. 
Keep in mind that I love happy endings with intriguing and
surprising plots. So here it goes, I hope I hear from a lot of
you. And I hope this is a success. Note that the title is not
etched in concrete--it is subject to change depending on the
final outcome of the story.

An Expression of Their Love

Rated NC-17

The breeze from the lake wound its way across the shore and up
the hillside to the field where Tom and B'Elanna lay where it
drifted over their flushed, naked bodies.  Tom had folded up his
clothes and was using them as a pillow and B'Elanna was resting
her head on Tom's stomach.  Both were deliriously happy after
spending the last hour expressing their love for each other.  

"Have I told you today that you're beautiful, B'Elanna Torres?"
Tom drawled as he stroked her hair with his left hand.  

Crinkling her nose. B'Elanna pondered the question.  "Let's see
you told me you loved me."

"And I do love you."  Tom tweaked her pert nose with his long
fingers.

"Then, I think you told me that I was ummm ....I think the word
was....inventive?"

Tom sighed at the thought.  "Yep, I'd say that inventive
describes that last hour quite well."

The half-Klingon rolled over on her stomach and gave her lover a
raspberry to his belly button.  He laughed at her childish
antics.  "Then I believe you told me that I was insatiable," she
reminded him and using only her fingernails stroked the inside of
his bare thigh.

"Yep, you certainly were that.  An insatiable half-Klingon, you
know what a chore it is to keep up with your needs." he let out a
dramatic, pitiful sigh that caused B'Elanna to laugh.  

"But 'beautiful'?  I don't believe you said I was beautiful." she
admitted equally dramatically.  

"Then I've been neglecting you, my love."  He sat up and pulled
her into his arms and kissed her passionately.  His lips wove a
path from her mouth, down her cheek and to her neck. B'Elanna
growled expressing her delight.  

Then her heard it. He opened his eyes and there before the still
nude pair was . . .

E-mail me at kelhapam@lr.net and let me know your opinion on what
Tom sees. Keep in mind they can either be on the holodeck or on
an alien planet. It could be an alien, a Voyager crewmember (you
tell me which one), or something entirely different. If you want
you can elaborate on your idea.

You have until next Saturday morning, November 7 to send me your
ideas. I will then take a tally of the vote and proceed to write
the next piece of the story during that weekend.   Note the
decision of the judge (namely me) is final.  

Also, a special thanks to Marleena for agreeing to post this
story as it develops.  Her site addy is
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Rampart/6467/  She helps to make
this all possible.  

Wish me luck.
