"Hi, Beverley" said Counsellor Troi warmly "Would you like a drink?" The dark haired ship's counsellor was surprised to see her good friend at such a late hour. Troi was wearing nothing more than a thin white nightgown in preparation of a nights sleep. A combination of her empathy and her close relationship with Dr Crusher made the surprise a pleasant one.
"No, thank you," replied the doctor "I need some advice. It's about Wesley" Counsellor Troi sensed a tension in her friend that was unusual.
"You know you can ask me anything," said the Counsellor "Come sit down". She motioned towards the two-seat couch. She noticed that the red headed doctor was also dressed for bed in two-piece black silk pyjamas.
"Do you find Wesley attractive?" the doctor almost blurted out the question.
The Counsellor raised her eyebrows "Well he's a handsome young man." She knew she was dodging the question but she didn't want to lie to her friend. She had been fantasising about the teenage boy, not to mention his mother, for some time now. Deanna's mind raced. Had the doctor noticed her staring at Wesley in his tight ensign's uniform? Had Wesley?
Beverley didn't seem to notice the Counsellors discomfort. She stared at the floor. "He is, isn't he" her voice was so quiet that Troi had to strain to hear it. "Is it wrong to be attracted to your own son?" The question seemed to be directed at herself rather than the Counsellor.
"No feeling is right or wrong," Troi said, her shock (and twinge of arousal) at what her friend had said was outweighed by her professional training, "It is how we act on them that is important. Sometimes we have to control our feelings, at other times we can give in to them."
"I accidentally walked in on him when he was undressing for bed," Dr Crusher said, shaking her head in disbelief at her own account, "Deanna, he has a great body, lean, not an ounce of fat. I saw his cock too, wow, it could fill me fantastically,'
As her friend Beverley told her this, Deanna could sense the arousal in the Doctor, and she began to feel herself getting wet at the thought of Wesley naked and Beverley looking on. Gently, the counsellor lifted the doctor's chin and looked her in the eyes.
"You're going to tell me I've got to control those feelings, aren't you?" Beverly asked.
