Sincere Admiration
By Chrysa
"Oh thank the Prophets. Home at last," I stagger in to our quarters after a hard day of work. With a groan of exhaustion I collapse face first onto the couch and kick off my boots. I'd like to get my hands on the sadist that decided I had to wear such impossibly high heels. Ohhhh! It feels so good to wiggle my toes.
The doors quietly swish open and I hear Odo walk into the living room. I swear the man only has to enter a room and my skin tingles. I shiver in delight.
"Cold?" His bass rumble reaches my ears and I want to turn over, grab him, kiss him hard and make love to him on the couch. But exhaustion wins out over my impulses and I settle for turning my head so I can look at him out of the corner of my eye.
"No, just exhausted." I give him a tired smile and he sits down on the couch next to my prostrate form. He kisses the back of my neck and I squirm in delight then...Oh my...he put his hand against the small of my back and let it shift to give me and all over back rub. I feel myself practically purring in contentment. Is it possible for bones to go liquid as the result of a backrub? I can die happy now.
"Better?" I feel his smile and I reach over and squeeze his knee in thanks. The back rub ends and he moves off the couch to attend to some matter across the room. I watch him seriously contemplate the potted plant I gave him as a house warming gift and a table covered in PADDS.
"Dearest?" He faces the two articles his arms crossed over his chest, standing with his feet shoulder width apart...and giving me the perfect view of his butt, I realize. Slowly I sit up on the couch for a better angle.
"Yes, K'tal?"
He turns and looks over at me. "Would you mind terribly if I move the PADDs and put the plant on the table? I don't think it's getting enough sun on the floor."
Did he say something? Answer him! "Perfect." Perfect indeed, my dear Odo. Perfect indeed! Oh thank you Prophets for giving him such a fine looking rear end. I'd get down on my knees except he'd think it was weird. He makes me just want to reach out and...he's bending over!! YES!!!
"Mmmmm." Exhaustion forgotten I get up and reach his side in a matter of moments pretending to be interested in the location of the houseplant.
"Hmpf." He growls and nods as if his choice was the right one.
I look up at him slyly, my fingers just itching to grab his delectable flesh. I stealthily reach over and...NOOO! NO! Don't move away! Darnit! I must have cried out or something because Odo looked back at me concerned.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes," I manage in a strangled whimper. "Bit the inside of my mouth." Ok, so it's a lame excuse but I had to think of something!
Odo just shook his head and went off into the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"
My stomach growled loudly. He chuckled and my toes curled. "I'll take that as a yes," he said.
I slipped over to the kitchen and watched him move back and forth, my eyes glued to a certain part of his anatomy. My hands gripped an errant dishtowel and ripped it in two. Odo looked over in surprise. "Flimsy material," I said trying to look surprised as I held up the two pieces of cloth. "Who knew?" I chuckled weakly.
"Uh-huh," Odo shot me a confused look and returned to his cooking.
I tried not to look eager as I moved to stand next to him. "Mmmmm, smells good." I rested my head on his shoulder. "What is it?" I asked my hand sliding up his thigh.
Suddenly, I was confronted with a wooden spoon filled with a slightly yellow broth. "It's vegetable soup," he said brightly. "Try some."
Foiled once again, I let Odo feed me some of his soup. I nearly passed out it was that good. "That's not ordinary vegetable soup. What's in that?"
Odo's blue eyes traveled to the right as he recited: "Carrots, celery, po'ra root, t'keefa leaf, potatoes, veera..."
He kept going but I was stuck way back on veera. Dax, I realized remembering that she had taught him how to cook while he was human. Veera is a Trill herb. More importantly, it's an aphrodisiac.
I'm going to kill Dax.
"Is it hot in here?" I ask pulling on the collar of my tunic.
"No, it's the same as it's always been." Odo put down his spoon and placed the back off his hand on my forehead.
I nearly swooned.
"Whoa," Odo caught me as I started to fall backwards. Without any effort at all he hoisted me into his arms and made for the couch. "You stay here. I'll bring you some soup as soon as it's finished." He lay me out on the couch my hands resting on my stomach. I started to reach for him but he pressed my hands down and patted them comfortingly. "I'll be right back." I started to say something but he pressed a finger to my lips. "Just rest, Nerys. I'll take care of you."
"I'm not dyin' for Prophet's sake!!" I'm just horny dammit.
"Are you sure?" He asked jokingly.
"Oh yeah. I'm sure," I groused. I peeked over the edge of the couch to watch him. Odo was ladling some soup into a bowl for me. He blew on it to cool it down a little.
Oh how I wished I were that soup! I clawed at my uniform top, ripping at the fastenings. Finally, I was able to pull it over my head and toss it over the back of the couch. Whew! That was better. I fanned my self with my hand as I waited for Odo.
Ooohh! Idea! Dax had told me once that she could seduce a man using her eyes just her eyes! You close you eyes half way and exuded your feminine power from your eyes. At the time I thought it was a crock but at this point I'm willing to try anything once.
I struck my most seductive pose on the couch and waited. I didn't have to wait long. Odo's soft footsteps came closer and soon he was positioning himself on the coffee table with my bowl of soup.
I think. The only problem with Dax's trick is that with my lids halfway down the only way I could see anything was if I titled my head way back. All that squinting makes me look like I need glasses.
"Nerys?"
"Yes, Dear?" I said in an appropriately seductive, breathless voice.
"Maybe you should see Julian about an eye appointment."
I hate Dax.
My head hit the arm of the couch as I sighed in frustration. "No, I'm fine." I try to save a little dignity by maintaining my seductive pose. Which, I have to admit, shows off all my attributes. All that spring ball has helped.
"Nerys."
"Yes?" I bat my eyes at him.
He's looking at me paternally. Shoot. Why is he doing that?
"You have to sit up if I'm going to feed you."
And people say I'm obtuse!!
Okay. Let's try this one more time. I sit up and get as close to him as possible.
I give him my most charming smile and open my mouth for a spoonful of soup. After several spoonfuls I try sighing happily to get his attention.
Nope. Next spoonful.
Wink.
Slurp.
Wink.
Slurp.
Wink.
Slurp.
Wink.
Odo sighs, "Nerys, I really think you should go see Julian about your eyes. You've developed a twitch."
Blockhead! "All right that's it!" I knock the bowl out of Odo's hand and jump the surprised Constable. We roll over the coffee table and end up on the floor.
"What does it take to get your attention?!"
Resting on his elbows so he doesn't squash me, Odo considers question seriously. "Not much. A kiss on the cheek, the look in your eyes when you look at me and think I don't notice." I chuckle and blush. He traces my jaw with his fingers and looks into my eyes. "Your blush...And then there's this little spot on your neck that just fascinates me..." Putting actions to words Odo begins to show me just what's so fascinating about my neck.
The man is incredible with his lips let me tell you.
In the two seconds I'm able to regain my senses I spy with my little eye the object that started this whole thing. Stealthily, I slip my hand down his back and run the flat of my hand over one beautifully rounded--
Odo's hand clamps over mine. "Then there's the fact that you seem to want to get your hands on my ass and you're doing a horrible job at it." We both laugh.
"I can't help it," I gasp through tears.
"Why?"
"Sincere admiration, Constable." I smile up at him.
"Hmm. How 'bout we turn it into mutual admiration, Colonel?" He asks before we stop talking altogether.
The End.
