His features changed so quickly. So many glimpses of emotion. Surprise, confusion, happiness, concern -- until it settled back to a more neutral expression.
"Why me?" Data asked.
"Sometimes, the need to bond comes on suddenly and unexpectedly. The Orion sex drive can be unpredictable and off-the-cuff. But more often, we have a crush that makes us go into heat, and we start the bonding process. For me, that crush was you."
"I am flattered that you 'crush' on me, but I am not capable of returning these feelings. I do not have emotions."
I dropped my eyes to the ground and placed my hands behind my back. Not only did this stop my nervous and sexually driven jitters, but it also brought my chest out a little, and I wanted to show them off to him.
I softened my voice and said, "I have wanted you since I was just beginning Starfleet Academy. I know you cannot feel what I am feeling, but that doesn't mean that I can't love you enough for the both of us."
The turbolift stopped at deck seven. Data exited first but turned back to ensure that I was at his side. He was silent for a moment. I knew he was assessing what I had told him.
"What happens when an Orion bonds?"
I smiled over at him, "Data, we are both ranking Starfleet officers. I know perfectly well that our careers come first."
"That's not what..." Data began -- I cut him off.
"For us, we will just learn about each other and have a lot of sex. If we are mating, my pheromones will be easier to control, and it will be easier for me to work. I desperately want to save this colony, Data."
We got to my quarters. I turned to Data and stepped closer to him. Looking up into his eyes, I swam in the starburst of gold that painted his yellow irises.
"You can always say no," I whispered, my lips centimeters from his, "But nebula, I hope you say yes."
Data's mouth was instantly on mine, and I felt sparks surge from my lips down my spine and warm my pussy. He gently opened my mouth with his lips, and I felt his tongue collide with my own. I was trembling and in utter disbelief that this was really happening. After years of fantasy, he was really kissing me!
His hand slipped around my waist, and he cupped my ass and pulled me closer to him. I felt his very hard cock push into my mound. I let out a gasp against his mouth as he began pushing me back toward the door to my quarters and out of the public corridor.
His other hand was fisted in my hair, his kiss powerful and needy. I had once bonded with a human male aboard my starship, but his lips were soft and careful. Data's kiss was hard to the point of almost being painful.
Data walked me back to my sofa, and his hand on my ass pulled me even tighter against his hips till my feet were off the floor. I let out a sound of surprise, but Data never broke our kiss as he eased me down onto the cushions.
When he finally broke our kiss, I inhaled deeply, trying to catch my breath. Data's lips went to my jaw, and he ran his tongue from the base of my ear down to my shoulder. I gave a whimper of pleasure and felt wetness gather in my panties.
"Kannara," his lips fluttered against my shoulder. "I want to pursue this with you." He trailed up my throat with a pattern of kisses before capturing my mouth again. I melted against him, opening my thighs a little wider as he settled against me. I felt his stiff cock push firmly against my very wet pussy. I let out a moan against his lips.
He looked down at me and brushed my hair back from my face, a very intimate and loving gesture and was not expected from the man without emotions.
"How are you doing this, Data?" I asked. "I thought you could not feel."
"You are correct. I am incapable of feeling lust, love or longing. But I am programmed in the art of 'making love,' and I will be able to please you."
He rocked his hips against me in a few firm thrusts, and I rose my hips to meet him, wishing there were no clothes between us.
"As you can see, I am fully functional," he said.
"I see," I panted. "So, does this mean that we are going to bond?"
Without another word, he crawled off my body. The heat that was building dissipated, and my pussy throbbed in angry protest. I sat up on the sofa, confused, but Data opened his arms to me. With a sigh of relief, I slid into his embrace and rested the back of my head back against his chest. He held me against him. I felt so incredibly safe there.
"We are not going to have sex right now, are we?" I asked.
"No. As I said, I am interested in pursuing this with you, but I value you as a person and as a fellow commanding officer. I want to get to know you better."
"So, we are what... Dating?" I asked.
"That would be the next logical step, would it not?"
