The Dare
By Queen Selenay and Lauren Spirit
Rated: NC-17



As far as first contact goes, this was one of the best first contacts ever made. The people of Reenio were some of the most enchantingly sweet and innocent beings she had ever met. Kathryn stood with Chakotay beside her in the grand conference room of the Reenion people. "Captain Janeway," the zighat said, "We'd be extremely happy to accomodate your crew if they wish to spend some time on our planet."
"That sounds delightful, Zighat. Your planet is absolutely lovely," Kathryn replied.
The zighat smiled, pleased. "I'm glad you think so. And please, call me Ghanti."
"All right, Ghanti. Is there any particular sights of interest I should recommend to my crew?" Kathryn asked, with a grin of her own to match the zighat's.
"The Kyshtan Waterfalls are one of the most beautiful places on our planet. If you enjoy swimming, Captain, you should definitely go there."
"I don't think I'll be going on shoreleave," Kathryn said, a tad too sharply. Then her face softened, "And please, if I can call you Ghanti, you must call me Kathryn."
Why not, Kathryn? It seems to me that you could use some time off," Ghanti said, worried that his planet had somehow displeased the beautiful captain.
She looked at him, her eyes pleading understanding. "I have tons of work to do. I don't think I could get it done if I was here prancing about. So, no I need no time off."
'No' wasn't a word in Ghanti's vocabulary, however. "All the more reason, Kathryn. Work causes stress, and we wouldn't want a pretty woman like you to be stressed. Besides, you could bring your work here with you. I'm sure sitting in a lounge chair by the pool would be a lot more comfortable than sitting in a hard chair and working at your desk."
Kathryn sighed, then smiled. "All right. I'll do that."
Chakotay, from behind her grinned and winked at the zighat. Earlier, he had told Ghanti how he knew the Captain wouldn't want to stay and that he should prepare a plan of attack to get her to enjoy shoreleave. He mouthed the words "Thank you" and the zighat nodded in return.

The next day, Kathryn beamed to the surface, arms laden with reports. Many passersby wondered just how she managed to hold that many without so much as dropping one. Looking over her map, she finally decided to head to the Kyshtan Waterfalls that the zighat had told her so much about. She could lay a blanket down on the bank of the river and do her reports with the soothing sounds of the waterfall in the background. And maybe, just maybe, she'd catch a short nap in the process, as long as no one was around to see her.
Laying the blanket down on the lush grass next to the river leading from the falls, she looked around and saw that thankfully no one else but herself was around. She stretched out on the blanket and grabbed a report.
Within ten minutes she was bored and set it down. Closing her eyes, she let her arms and legs stretch out all the way. Soon she was asleep.
"Kathryn...Hey Kathryn..." She heard a voice from somewhere outside her unconscious world. Then something tapped her shoulder. Slowly her eyes opened.
"Huh?" she asked, half asleep yet. She shielded her eyes from the sunlight and saw the person that had woken her up.
"Hello, Chakotay," Kathryn mumbled, then rolled over and shut her eyes again.
"I'm surprised Kathryn. I expected to see you doing reports, not sleeping by the river," Chakotay said.
"Ugh. I haven't gotten much sleep lately, and the temptation was too great to resist. I'll do the reports later," Kathryn promised, then shut her eyes again, hoping Chakotay would leave her alone.
"What reports?" Chakotay asked innocently.
Kathryn cracked an eye open, and glanced at the spot where the PADDs had been. They were gone. Sitting up, she gasped, "They were right here!"
Chakotay chuckled. "Don't worry, Kathryn, I know where they are. But you're not getting them back until you've spent two full days relaxing down here."
"You! How dare you!," Kathryn spluttered angrily. "I'm going to get you for this!" Going from a semi-conscious state to full alertness, she sprang to her feet and started chasing Chakotay, who took one look at her and decided that he had better run, if he valued his life.
She chased him around trees, up rocks, and over streams, until they were at the top edge of the highest fall of the Kyshtan Waterfalls.
Looking down, both were awed by the beauty. A rainbow rose out of the mist caused by the crashing water, and the high sun reflected off the water.
"I dare you," Chakotay said, an evil twinkle in his eye.
"To do what?" Kathryn asked, confused.
"Jump off," Chakotay replied, watching her squirm. He was one of the few people who knew of her fear of heights.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Kathryn asked, looking for an excuse, any excuse, to back out of the dare.
Chakotay rolled his eyes. "Kathryn, it's not that far down. The water is more than deep enough, and there aren't any rocks. It's perfectly safe."
"Chakotay..." Kathryn pleaded. "I'll do anything but that."
"Anything?" Chakotay inquired archly, one corner of his mouth turning up in a smirk.
"Well, within reason...I won't, for instance, strip and run around the bridge naked," Kathryn said, trying hard not to notice how Chakotay's eyes darkened with desire at the thought of her naked.
"Damn. I was so looking forward to it too," Chakotay pouted. "I'm sure Tuvok would have found that...interesting. "
"I'm sure he would," Kathryn said, trying in vain to smother her giggles as the thought of what Tuvok's face would look like.
"Would kissing me be so unreasonable?" Chakotay asked, quite seriously.
Kathryn's mirth was instantly abated. "It's not unreasonable, but..." Kathryn knew she couldn't trust herself if she kissed him. She could barely control herself now, with Chakotay looking so utterly handsome in his short black swimsuit. The water glistened off his muscles in a way that made Kathryn want to melt inside. "I think...I think I'd better jump."
Chakotay grinned, "Have it your way."
She slowly stepped to the edge and looked down. She scolded herself for doing that. Now she was frightened even more. The water looked so far away.
Kathryn felt breath on her neck. "Do it, Kathryn," he whispered. She shuddered, the fright added with his words made for a wonderfully thrilling emotion. Turning around slowly, she brought her gaze to his. Chakotay's gaze never wavered from hers. "Do it..."
She made a sound similar to a whimper. Chakotay grinned at the effect he had created. "Please..." she told him.
"Please what?" He leaned down to kiss her, and as she closed her eyes he pushed her backwards.
She screamed and frantically grabbed for something to stop her fall. Her hands found his arm and she held with all her might. Although she was a small woman, she caused Chakotay to become off balance, and the two of them plummeted over the edge.
They hit the water with a resounding splash, and Kathryn felt a brief attack of panic as she desperately tried to stroke to the surface before her air ran out. Fortunately, it wasn't far, but she was gasping for oxygen when she surfaced. Once she had caught her breath and pushed her sodden hair out of her eyes, she whirled around to face Chakotay, who actually had the audacity to be laughing. "YOU!" she shrieked. "You are so dead! I'm going to kill you for this!"
Chakotay stopped laughing and started to look worried. "Uh oh," he said as Kathryn dove under water and started stroking towards him. For the second time in one day, he realized that his life was in danger, and started swimmin swiftly in the other direction, towards the falls.
Although Kathryn was a fast swimmer, she didn't have the sheer upper body strength that Chakotay did, and was never able to quite close the gap. Once, she got close enough to grab ahold of his swimsuit, but he twisted in her grip and managed to escape, leaving Kathryn far behind...still holding his swimsuit.
Her jaw dropped open as she saw what she held in her hand. It shocked her so much that she forgot to keep swimming and went under the surface of the water. Quickly, she paddled her arms to get back up, and when she was back up, she noticed that she no longer held the fabric. "Oh shit," she gasped.
Chakotay had gone behind the waterfall, and leaned against a rock, watching her. Squinting, he saw her come back to the surface of the water, but where was his suit? Panic crossed her face. "Oh god," he muttered, "she lost them. This is going to look good when I go back to Voyager without clothes."
"Kathryn, tell me you didn't..." Chakotay pleaded
Kathryn nodded sheepishly. "I lost them."
"I can see that. What are we going to do about it?"
"Umm..." She blinked and tried to keep from staring. "God."
"What, Kathryn?" he asked.
Had she said that out loud? She was just looking at the back of him since he wouldn't turn around, and then she must have voiced her thoughts.
"Nothing, I was just..."
He grinned, "Yeah I saw what you were just doing. Now, we have to think up a way for me to get back to Voyager. Ooh, here's an idea. What if I would use your bottoms."
Kathryn gasped, "What would I do then?"
A smile showed on his face for a second, and a multitude of ideas came to mind. "Well, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea. I don't think I'd fit."
Her eyebrows rose up and her eyes opened wide. "Umm...yeah, I guess not," she shook her head, "Wait a minute. What am I saying. It's your fault, you get your own self out of this situation." Then she climbed out of the water and started walking towards the small cavern behind the waterfalls.
"No, Kathryn! You can't leave me here! What if somebody comes? This is embarrasing!"
She said nothing and kept walking. "Dammit Kathryn," he muttered, "you're asking for it." Then he left the stone he was against and ran up behind her, grabbing her arms and not letting her move.
She shrieked and she felt his touch, and struggled to get away. "Let go of me Chakotayyyyooohhh..." She moaned as she felt his erection push against her back. "Good lord, Chakotay." She turned around, her elbow brushing his growing hardness.
My, my Chakotay thought to himself. Before you were grinning because of the effect you had on her, looks like the tables have turned.
Water sprayed across their faces and bodies as they stood there with the falls crashing down next to them. The moment was perfect, and Chakotay took advantage of it. Cocking his head to one side, he lowered his mouth to hers. She stiffened as he kissed her. "Relax, Kathryn," he said. As expected, she acquiesced. She opened her mouth, and his lips settled firmly on hers, exploring, savoring. As his tongue moved in slow circles in her mouth, their breaths mingled, but he wanted more. Pulling back from the kiss he heard her whimper. He gently nuzzled her cheek and moved his lips to her slender neck. Her arms wrapped around his waist, bringing him closer to her, but her clothing was still in place. He let go of her arms and slid his fingers under the straps on her shoulders. Slowly he brought them down, then he undid the tie at her back and threw the top to the dusty floor of the cavern.
"Chakotay," she moaned. Cupping her left breast in his hand, Chakotay squeezed it, his thumb caressing the nipple into hardness. His lips followed the actions of his thumb, and then changed his attention to her other breast. He smiled against her as he realized he was driving her wild. Soon he disposed of the bottoms. He tossed them aside carelessly and they landed close to the top part of her bikini. Kathryn moaned in ecstacy as his hands moved to her womanhood. His fingers rubbed against her and she thought she would faint as one of his fingers slid into the innermost part of her body. "Oh god, Chakotay, please! Take me!" she cried.
"Anything you wish, Kathryn," he whispered. Then he layed her down softly on the ground. With his fingers, he parted her soft, moist folds, preparing her warm mound for his entrance. His hard member then plunged into her, causing her to cry out in rapture as her body accommodated him. Her legs, which were woven around his, urged him farther into her.
His thrusts were slow, steady, and controlled at first, but soon his instincts took over and he became more hurried and rough. She tightened around his manhood and her face showed the signs that a climax was near. As she screamed the thrills of orgasm, he thrust once more deep inside her and spilled his seed into her.

* * *


As they lay there in the blissful state of calmness that only comes after lovemaking, Chakotay took her hand and their fingers intertwined. "I love you, Kathryn," he stated.
In response, she brought her other hand up to his cheek, stroking it, then kissed him with the touch of a fairy.
"There's just one problem with this, Kathryn," Chakotay said, as Kathryn snuggled in closer to him.
"Hmm, what's that, my love?" Kathryn asked, delicately tracing the lines of his tattoo with her fingertips, sending shivers down his spine.
"Just how am I supposed to get back to Voyager?"

The End

Kathryn will say "Do it!" times this season!
