ON:

Tarishiana so badly wanted to get out of her dress. She had had a nice evening with Will but in the back of her mind she just wanted to go home and see Markum. It had only been a day since their first date and she couldn't shake the feeling he brought out in her. She knew that he was still a little hesitant about their age difference but it hadn't even crossed Tarishiana's mind.

She felt him coming before he approached her door and was amused when the door just opened. She had known it would not be that much of a surprise to the Engineer but she had given him authorized access to her home. He already had access to her thoughts.

Markum had a fun time hanging out with Dru, but he knew where he wanted to be, where he belonged. He smiled as the door opened at his approach, and he stepped through. Hi honey, I'm home. he thought with a grin as he looked for Tarishiana.

Tarishiana raised her hand over the back of the couch giving Markum at least some inkling as to where she was. She couldn't help but laugh at her random desire to play marco polo. As if the thought had been the start of a conversation she pushed up on her elbow before responding, Just wait until you get more practice...then we can play hide and go seek...it is really fun when you are telepathic.

Markum chuckled and walked around the couch to sit next to her. I have no doubt. I'd love to play. How was your night. He asked as he gave Tarish a soft kiss. Did you have a good time?

"It was...nice." Tarishiana said with a little purr as Markum's lips left her. "Will is a lovely man...he was a little distracted by an incident involving Warrant Officer Peers."I didn't want to pry. She pulled him in for another kiss. I have wanted to do this for a while now She smiled as the kiss ended as she moved in next to him.

Markum held onto Tarishiana as she kissed him again, then moved in close to her. "He should be. The replicator in the mess hall was programmed wrong at the factory. One of them got drugged and then a kiss was given, shared..something." Markum kissed her ear gently, But enough about them. You have some explaining to do baby. Like, how are we able to share our thoughts? This is....beautiful.

Tarishiana bit her lip slightly as she felt Markum's lips on her ear. She purred slightly as she thought over how to explain their connection. Betazoids are telepathic by nature...but we when we develop strong emotional connections a bond is created Her hands moved to his sides just below his ribs as she continued, "It isn't noticed as much among Betazoid with the exception that we miss it when it is gone."

Tarishiana pushed back slightly so that she could look Markum in the eye, I have never experienced this before...but it doesn't happy easily or with everyone....Some Betazoids will never develop it with other non-telepaths.

Markum listened carefully to her, his interest peeking about this ability. So what does it mean since we do have the connection? I really felt something since we first met. Was it fate that brought us together then, or destiny?

Tarishiana laughed slightly, "That I don't know." She grinned as she once again found her lips pressed against his. I am beginning to think that it was. She liked kissing him but she wanted more. In a smooth move she placed one knee on either side of him allowing her dress to move around her. "I like it...but I assure you it won't be all lollipops and butterflies." She said before kissing him again.

Markum smiled and pulled her closed to him as he playfully bit her lower lip. "Good." I like a little fight once in a while, makes making-up so much better. His heart was pounding, and his hands were trembling some. He reached a hand behind Tarish's neck and ran his fingers through her hair, while his other hand moved up her leg, onto her thigh. Is it suppose to feel so intense? I think I could do this all night with you. he thought to himself as his hand continued on its journey.

Tarishiana hummed slightly as she nodded before pressing her lips to his. Her hands moved to either side of his face. She loved the share of sensations and thoughts. It hadn't dawned on her that other races didn't experience the same intimate connections until that moment. She stopped for a moment looking over his face, "It doesn't normally feel like this for humans?" She asked with a knowing grin before she kissed him hungrily. You poor man. Her thought was almost teasing.

Markum slid his hand further up Tarish's thigh and caressed bare, smooth skin. Feels nice. Markum moved his mouth across her chin, down to the base of her neck as his hand moved from the back of her neck, down her side, to her waist. I have never felt so...close to someone before.

"Good..." Tarishiana said as her eyes closed and her head dropped back slightly. I don't plan on giving this up anytime soon. Her hands dropped down along his chest to the hem of his shirt. Her movements were slow as she tugged the fabric upwards. She didn't even have to form the thought as Markum lifted his arms to assist her. A knowing smile crossed her lips as she let the fabric drop to the ground. I want you...now.

Markum used both hands as he slid down the dress to Tarishiana's waist. You already have me, Tarishiana. His lips moved down to meet soft, bare skin that he passionately consumed. You feel so perfect. So soft. So right. He hands caressed their way over her voluptuous figure, taking every emotion and desire flowing though his partner's mind and feeding on it.

Tarishiana purred as she moved against Markum. She was in heaven and had every intention of enjoying it.

[Later]

Tarishiana must have dosed off but when she came too a grin crossed her lips as the warmth from the body next to her caught her attention. Her fingers trailed over the warm skin as she turned to look up at Markum where he was laying. There activities had eventually moved them to her bed and she was glad to be sharing it with him. Her fingers walked up his chest playfully but she never said anything.

Markum's eyes were closed, and he was at peace. He felt something on his chest, walking? I have never...never felt like I did...so...such oneness. WOW. He rolled over to his side and tenderly kissed her your perfect lips. What day is this anyways? he smiled broadly, while gazing into her eyes.

I don't think I want to experience...that...your way. Tarishiana thought contentedly. She bit her lower lip slightly before she spoke, "That was amazing..." Her voice was almost breathy as she spoke. She looked down for a moment. You are the only person besides Lestian I have done that with. Her nervous lips faded into a satisfied grin, "I don't know why...but I thought you should know."

Markum kissed her again, and placed his forehead to hers. It was. You are amazing Tarishiana. I...I...can't even put into words how you...complete me? "It's okay, it's been almost twenty years since I've done that with anyone...and even that couldn't compare to this."

Tarishiana dipped her head into her pillow pressing her face against it as she tried to hid the flush of color that rose to her cheeks. Using her upper arm she wrapped it around him and pulled him close to her pressing every inch of her against as much of him as she could. "Stay with me?" she asked almost hesitantly as if she thought he was going to say no.

Markum wrapped his arms around her and relished in the closeness he had, and still was experiencing with Tarish. He looked lovingly into her beautiful dark eyes and tenderly kissed her soft, sweet lips. There is no where I'd rather be, than right here, hold you. Then he whispered, "Baby, I'm not going anywhere."

Good Tarishiana was almost giddy. She settled her chin on his chest for a moment before she spoke again. "So...how has an amazing man like you been single for all these years?" She asked just as she took another kiss from his lips.

Markum gave out a low rumble after the kiss. I love those lips. He paused a moment before answering. He could remember how excited he was when he found out he was going to be a father, to discovering for himself the bitter truth that he was no more than a toy to keep a lonely woman occupied while he ambassador husband was away most of the time, and how he was convinced that leaving Marcus to be raised by her, and her husband. Markum though, for the first time in twenty years did not get upset. Markum thought of how much happiness he has known since first meeting Tarish, and tonight. The real, genuine feeling of...closeness..unity...honesty, and how much she already meant to him, Markum merely smiled and answered, "I hadn't found you yet." and now I don't want to be without you. He held her closer, and pressed his lips to hers again.

"You have to be the sweetest man I have ever met." Tarishiana said with a grin. Her fingers began to trail up and down the plains of his chest, arms, and shoulders. I don't want to be without you either She bit her lower lip as she enjoyed the sensations she was feeling from him. I have never felt like this with anyone before She couldn't help but smile.

Markum continued to hold her close to him. He loved how her hair smelled. He loved how her skin felt against his. He loved that she was smarter than him, and just as witty. He loved how she made him feel. He loved how he made her feel. He especially loved how he could make her blush. I adore you Tarishiana, and I have never had such strong feelings for someone. You make me the man, I always wanted to be, but never thought I could

Tarishiana was getting more used to the flattery comments that seemed to stream from Markum's mind. It was easier to keep her coloring under control. "You had better stop comments like that..." She said with a coy grin and playful tone. "I could see myself falling for you." She wasn't sure why she said it but it was a true statement. She pressed her lips to his and her hands began to once again explore. She had gotten a taste of him and she wanted more...she wanted every bit she could get.

Markum rolled Tarish to her back and once in position looked down at her briefly, then went down to kiss her sweet tasting lips, You haven't seen anything yet, the day isn't even over
