The fifth part of an ongoing story of love/hate between Betazoid Federation Captain Pyre Jaxel and Romulan Commander Yanus.
The story so far... After Jaxel rescued a Federation Admiral from the clutches of the Romulan Commander Yanus, he finds she has been demoted and blames him for her downfall...
***
Yanus couldn't hide her grimace. The station was certainly not the sort of place she was used to. Every time she thought she was starting to settle in something else would happen. On this occasion she saw Pyre Jaxel - the last time she had seen him had been their first ever meeting. She had negotiated, attempted seduction, and after he had worn her out with his stamina, she had returned to her ship to find he had stolen her captive. The ship was a mess but repairable, unlike her career. If anyone was to blame for her transfer it was Pyre Jaxel. She had seen him in the bar and headed straight back out again, hoping he hadn't seen her. When she last spoke to him she had threatened him, that she would make him pay for what he had done. She rounded the corridor to her quarters to find he had spotted her and was waiting at her door wearing a grin.
"So... There I was in the bar, drinking with friends when I see this woman. Not just any woman, but one of the youngest Commanders the Romulans ever produced. And not just any Commander, a great one who had earned her position in life... And I think to myself, what would such a woman be doing here?" He was grinning as he spoke, watching her move towards him.
"What do you want?" She asked. She wasn't in the mood to be made fun of, and he wasn't worth what was left of her career, as much as she would love to throttle him. He stepped in front of her as she got to the door. "To say I'm sorry... The best man may have won, but I do feel bad for how things have gone for you."
She sneered at him. "Save your pity for Nniol, they executed him." Not that she cared; she hated that man as much as Jaxel. Between the two of them her career was dead. She opened the door and stepped inside, slightly shocked when Pyre followed her. "Are you fond of trespassing?" She asked curtly. It wasn't something she was used to.
"Well when I heard what happened I felt this urge to try and make it up to you." He stood close to her and brushed a wayward hair from her face.
"Don't do that." She said sternly, not moving.
"Do what?" He continued to stroke his finger down to her chin.
"That..." She muttered as he put his finger under her chin and lifted her lips to his. Hovering just centimetres from each other, Pyre moved his mouth to her ear.
"I did mean what I said - the sadistic bitch attitude really suits you." With a huff, Yanus pushed him back. "Get out! Now, before I call security!" Her voice shook with rage.
"Yanus..." Pyre's smile was quite charming. "I mean it, and now that attitude has no real outlet..." He moved back towards her. ::sometimes punishment is needed..:: he repeated words she had once said to him. Quite unintentionally her lips tweaked, amused at the thought. She put her hand on his chest. "Captain Jaxel, are you submitting yourself to me for punishment?". She grinned. Returning her grin he lowered himself to his knees in front of her and placed his hands on her hips. "Commander..." She grabbed his hair and pulled his head back, biting at his lips. She pulled back with a grin. "We did have fun..." She mused. Without another word she disappeared into the bedroom. With a smile Pyre got to his feet and started to remove his civi clothing as he headed after her, it was the least he could do after the problems he had caused her.
