This story was written as a answer to challenge from the JETC11 group: "What would be the words or scenario that would *finally* convince Janeway to say "yes" to Chakotay? " Disclaimer: All the characters belong to Paramount but what they do in this story is from my own fevered imagination. All comments are welcome. Kaala12
Scene: "Well ,what brings you here at this hour?" she inquires with welcoming smile. He leans over and with a seductive smile, softly says" You did a masterful a job negotiating with the Maxwellians for the fresh fruit and other supplies but while you were in conference with the Maxwellians I happened to wander into a small village market. I found one item that you missed. He uncorks the vase and the aroma of sweet ,tantilizing, exquisite, rich, almost ambrosial aroma of coffee assaults her senses. She breathes in deeply, letting the siren song of the dark pleasure fill her being. Her mouth waters in anticipation of the warm savory liquid that will soon travel down her body enveloping her in its sultry embrace. Her tastebuds dance at past memories of the liquified ecstasy that only coffee can make. She reaches for the vase but he pulls it back just out ofher reach. She reaches for the vase but he pulls it back just out of her reach. She lifts one eybrow in silent question. He smiles, leans back and says: "Negotiate." Kathryn smiled and leaned over towards Chakotay. her perfume swept over him laying seige on his control with its sweet scent. "You really,really want me to offer something in exchange for the coffee?" "Yes," Chakotay said " You are a creative, if sometimes a little too daring captain, "He held up his right hands in mock defense as she shot him a smoldering glance for that last little remark". "In every negotitation the two parties try to give the other party what they need or want. The trick is to find out what the other party really needs or want. Sometimes the desire is obvious, sometimes the true desire is hidden. I have a vase of coffee. You want the vase of coffee. Kathryn smiled and said" What do you want for the coffee, Chakotay? He smiled and said "AHHHHHH now that is a very good question, I haven't decided yet. Whay don't you make me an offer? She sat back on the couch. Several scenarios ran through her mind but the one that stood out most of her mind made her slightly blush as she looked at the man . He smiled capturing her slight blush in his memory. He "knew " his Kathryn. He juggled the vase at her, the haunting aroma of the coffee unleashed, filled the cabin. Her eyes glazing over, Kathryn lunged for the vase. He deftly moved out of her reach and walked towards the cabin door. "I'll be in my quarters when you've decided on a negotiating point. The doors closed behind him. She shook her head at the man. "Well, Mister, so you think I'll be had over coffee? "Sexplotation for coffee. She smiled at his daring. She giggled at the thought that her one weakness would not be exploited by the Borg,Cardassians, Marquis or other aliens, but by her First Officer. At least Q had offered her the Universe……and a pair of puppies. As she sat there, a plan came to mind. She quickly changed clothes, left her cabin, made a quick stop and then headed towards Chakotay's quarters. Several crewmembers looked at the Captain strangly but none dared approach her. Finally she reached her destination. Chakotay sat on his couch wondering if maybe he had gone too far. He had originally bought the coffee as a gift and he couldn't even think of why he suddenly decided to play games. Perhaps it was the way the soft lighting framed her, her perfume, the way she beckoned him over to the couch. All he knew was that when he saw her he became determined to shake her up just a little. His cabin chime sounded, then before he could answer, ACTION KATE entered. Armed with the BIG BETSY GUN, ACTION Kathryn aimed the gun at him and said, "Hand over the vase of coffee mister or you'll be space dust." He was so stunned he handed over the vase and then in a fit over of laughter fell back on his couch. ACTION KATE threw down her weapon and began to also laugh earnestly. She then walked over to the couch and stood over her first officer and said " I don't negotitate when it comes to coffee. I want coffee, I get coffee. Understood?" He nodded ,still laughing. She sat next to him and gently wiped the tears of laughter from his face. She framed his face in her hands and kissed him. "That was for the coffee" He, in turn, kissed her back."That was for not turning me into space dust". THE END! |
