Spock wasted no time in capturing Elyssa's lips with his own, sweet at first but before long it gave way to a deeper and more passionate yearning, the rising need for each other becoming more prominent. Her hand slid from his cheek to his ear, tracing the shape and point of it. He gasped a little into the kiss before breaking away. "You're teasing me, t'hy'la." "Maybe I am~" She smiled, a hint of mischief in her eyes before she leant forward and replaced her finger with her tongue. That was it for Spock. In one swift movement, he laid her down on the bed and practically ripped off the camisole before stripping off his own uniform. Elyssa sat up, watching him with heavy anticipation. That body...she forced herself not to salivate as he finished undressing, taking note of the hair and happy trail which led straight to his already rather hard dick.

"Fuck...~" She whispered, biting her lip as he hovered over her. "I believe that is what we are about to do." He raised an eyebrow, making her giggle. "Spock, you truly are a practical man." "Indeed. Now, allow me to kiss you again?" "I'd love that~" She pulled him down into a kiss as his fingers trailed down her body, coaxing open her legs for him as he dipped them into her needy cunt. Both of them moaned at the action, Elyssa clinging onto Spock as he slowly made a 'come hither' motion within her and catching just the right spot, her back arching off the bed slightly. "Ah!~ Spock, please~ don't stop~" She whimpered, a hand buried in his dishevelled hair. He groaned again and moved his fingers faster, ducking his head into the crook of her neck to kiss and bite at her skin. "Cum for me, t'hy'la. Now~" They both cried out each other's names as they came, Spock removing his fingers from her vice-like walls. He paused, making sure Elyssa was watching before licking them clean slowly and deliberately. Her face heated up and she kissed him again before pushing him down onto his back.

"My turn~" She purred, lowering her body until she was face level with his cum-stained dick. "Already made such a mess for me~" Her tongue darted out, doing a good job of both cleaning him up and teasing him. "Please, Elyssa~" He groaned, clenching the sheets in both hands, eyes fixated on her. She relented, gently grasping his dick with a hand. He leant his head back a little as her hand set a torturously slow pace. "Please, t'hy'la, I can't take much more teasing.." "Alright, since you said please~" Elyssa took the head into her mouth, working her way down inch by inch until it was touching the back of her throat. Spock trembled under her, resisting the urge to buck his hips up into her mouth as she started bobbing her head in a smooth rhythm. "It...feels...so good...~" He managed to get out between moans.

"McCoy to Valerius, I need you in sickbay. We've got the results of those samples  collected." McCoy's voice comes out of the communicator beside the bed. Elyssa pulled away from Spock, not missing the silent seething coming from him as she picked it up. With a smirk, she settled herself on his dick and flipped open the communicator, a hand over his mouth as she started riding him. "I'll be there shortly, Doctor, I'm just...dealing with something." "Alright, see you soon then." She snapped the communicator shut and chucked it in the direction of their piled clothes, removing her hand from Spock's mouth. "I couldn't very well let him hear you now could I?~" "Logical~" He leant up and kissed her, his hands gripping her waist and helping guide her movements on his aching dick. He could feel himself getting close for the second time already and was desperate to make her as well.

"Where should I finish, t'hy'la?~" He almost whimpered at the sensations that were overwhelming him, head fuzzy with euphoria. "Wherever you want, my love~" She kissed his ear and attacked his neck with small nips, creating multiple small love bites. He groaned and held her close, head buried in her chest as he came inside her, triggering her own release. They both took a moment to reel their minds back in from foggy lust, nothing but quiet panting heard in the room.

"That...wow." Elyssa smiled, gently stroking his matted hair. "I must admit, it was quite the sensation." He agreed, leaning into her touch. "I should get going, Bones will wonder where I am by now. Aren't you needed on the bridge?" She carefully got up, sliding on her uniform and retrieving her communicator. "I suppose I must return to my duties as well, though I must confess I would rather spend my time with you." He too put on his uniform, the smallest of frowns on his face. "Don't worry, I'm sure there'll be time for that soon enough. See you later Spock." She kissed his cheek and left her quarters, a subtle skip in her step.

"There you are, what took you so damn long?" McCoy questioned, hands on hips as Elyssa entered sickbay. "I was busy, that's all. What's the results?" She leant over, peering into the microscope. "The results are that the plants all contain some sort of neurotoxin that if breathed in too much, it can have a dramatic effect on the emotional part of the brain. We tested it on Mr Sulu and half an hour later he came in declaring his love for his fencing sword, shirtless an' all." He shuddered. "Luckily, with the pollen gathered from the same plants and some chemicals from the lab, we managed to make an antidote that reverses the effects and returns the brain to normal function." 

She nodded at the new information, sitting at his desk. "And what about the green water?" "We studied the components. Turns out, it's an immuniser to most known poisons but renders the body weaker to diseases. To quote a certain pointy eared science officer- 'fascinating'." "It is...but it doesn't explain the wildlife. We barely had time to look for any sign of civilised life before a predator showed up. I want to go back down there and continue the search." She folded her arms, jutting her chin up in a stubborn pose. He sighed and rubbed his face. "Take it up with the captain, he gets the final say." "Okay, I'll be back." She practically hopped out of the chair, leaving McCoy wondering if he'll ever get a goddamn break.

"Doctor! I didn't expect to see you so soon, I thought you were recovering." Kirk watched as Elyssa approached him, hands clasped behind her back. A habit she's picking up from Spock no doubt, he thought to himself. "Captain, I'm right as rain and I want to go back down onto that planet." "Doctor, I must protest. Two incidents have already occurred on that planet's surface, why would you wish to return?" Spock interjected, Kirk glancing at him and then at Elyssa. "He's got a good point, Doctor. Why should we risk any more injuries?" 

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the protectiveness of Spock's statement, instead pressing on. "Because I believe there could be civilised life, intelligent life down there that scanners haven't picked up on. It's a feeling I've got. Please, give me a day down there and if I'm wrong then we can move on to another planet...but if I'm right? We can broaden our knowledge of this planet with information provided by the locals! Isn't that worth a chance?" "Doctor, we cannot act on feelings alone. It is most illogical-" "-but she has a point as well, Commander Spock. We can't waste an opportunity such as this and we know now to be ready with a much heavier tranquilliser for that sort of predator too." Elyssa nodded in agreement, grinning as Kirk stood. "Let's go back down there then. Commander, do you want to stay here or come with us?" "It would be illogical to stay."

"That's odd...no sign of the creature or any other living thing now. It's like it...vanished." She traced the tracks with a finger, frowning. "A creature like that does not simply 'vanish', Doctor. We must be on the lookout for any potential ambushes." Spock took out his phaser, Kirk crouching down and whispering to her. "...could you follow the scent of it?" "It's faint now but I'll do my best. It isn't easy when I'm not in that form." "I understand. Do your best, doctor." He stood back up as she took off through the forest, the trio avoiding all manner of nature's traps such as twisting roots and spiked bushes.

"This flora is so...hazardous. What kind of life could flourish here?" Jim questioned, dodging oozing ivy. "I'm not certain Captain, but we must remain on guard. Doctor, what do you have?" Spock caught up to Elyssa, who had frozen. "It's humanoid, whatever it is, and not too far. I lost the creature a mile back." "Let's focus on the humanoid then." Kirk decided, letting Elyssa lead the way.

As the three neared what looked to be a primitive stronghold, dark clouds rolled in overhead, surging with multi-coloured lightning. "I suggest we seek shelter, Captain, that storm above seems particularly malicious." Spock deduced, sheathing his phaser and looking at Jim. "Only chance is that cluster of buildings, c'mon!" He maneuvered himself through a narrow gap in the stone wall surrounding the stronghold, gesturing for the others to follow. Spock came in after, the two men immediately greeted with spears pointed at them. "Perhaps we should have tried the main gate, Captain." He deadpanned. Kirk gave him an exasperated glance before noticing the absence of Elyssa. "Where's Elyssa? I thought she was right behind us." "As did I, Captain..."

"Hey guys." Elyssa strode up to them, having been let in by the fur-clad guards. She leant in close to them, whispering. "Turns out this stronghold is run by women, fierce girlboss vibes and so they let me in instantly. Bad news is they aren't keen on independent males so you two need to play along and pretend I'm in charge." "Whatever it takes to make sure we remain safe." Jim nodded, Spock nodding in agreement. She turns to the guards. "Thank you for finding my crew, I lost them amidst all this forest. Men, am I right?" 

The leader stepped forward. She was an extremely tall woman with an animal skull for a helmet and furs for armour, which had been decorated with symbols drawn in what they presumed to be blood. "You own these two?" "Yes, I do. We seek shelter from the storm, can you help us?" "What offer in exchange?" Elyssa looked to Kirk, who shook his head slightly before facing the leader. "I offer you a night of debauchery with the man in yellow. The one in blue is mine." There was a moment of silence save for the rumble of thunder overhead. No one dared say anything until the leader started to laugh. "You are good! I accept offer. My name is Takasha, leader of the Tekshan Warriors and this stronghold. I welcome you, friend."

Takasha firmly gripped Elyssa's arm in greeting, shaking it. "I'm Elyssa, well met. The man in yellow is Kirk, the one in blue is Spock." "Kirk...I like. He shall stay in my tent for tonight." She grinned, showing off pointed teeth. Like a shark, Elyssa thought. "Spock can stay with you in a tent I set for you. Come, tonight we feast well!" She led Elyssa away, still holding her arm. Kirk and Spock followed, keeping quiet for the time being.

"I truly appreciate you having us, Takasha. May I speak with my crew in private?" "Yes, yes, come to meat hall when finished!" She ducked out of Elyssa's tent after studying Kirk's face with a hand holding his chin. Elyssa sunk down on a bed roll, holding her head in her hands. "I am so sorry Jim, I don't know why I did that-" "It's okay, I get it. You panicked." He sat on one side of her, Spock on the other. "Besides, I do like a challenge from time to time." 

"That's hardly the point and also too much information, Jim." She grimaced. "But what the actual fuck do we do now? We can't get beamed back aboard the Enterprise because of the storm, who knows if we can still communicate to anyone up there...we're on our own for now." "Doctor, I have faith in the knowledge that once the storm passes, we can leave. We must simply play along and wait it out." Spock murmured, hands crossed in a thoughtful pose. Kirk nodded. "Spock's right, that's all we can do. We'd best go, don't want to keep her waiting any longer." Elyssa sighed,  smoothing down her uniform nervously and heading to the meat hall with the two men.
