?You had no right to interfere Q!?

? You had no right to try to fix up helmboy and tattoo guy?

?I had every right! Tom?s one of mine!?

Q is surprised, ?Helmboy??

?Yes Tom. Really. Aren?t you supposed to be omnipotent or something??

Q ignored her. ?Still why him and tattoo guy??

Shayna sighed in exasperation, ?Because Tom needs someone to take care of him. I can?t do it forever, you know the rules. Not that you Q?s actually obey them. [pause] What I don?t understand is that Chakotay seems to be your main competition for Captain Janeway so why aren?t you happy to get him out of the running??

Q is silent.

?So no more interfering in my dealing with my children??

?No more interfering.? he promised

?Good?

****

?Tom?

?Hmm?? Tom was snuggled against Chakotay?s chest and not much inclined to talking.

?Do you remember when we ran into each other on the observation lounge and I asked you if you were talking to yourself??

?Mmmhmm?

?Before you came in I thought I heard a female voice answering you.?

?Oh that was Shayna.?

?Shayna??

?Yup, she?s been my ?invisible? friend since I was little. I remember that night. That was the night I admitted to her that I loved you.?

Chakotay ran his fingers through Tom?s soft hair, marveling at the unconscious beauty of that peaceful face. If this ?Shayna? was responsible for him getting this gorgeous creature in his arms he was eternally grateful to her.

?You?re welcome. Just take good care of him and we?ll be even.?She was glowing softly, pale green dress drifting in a nonexistent breeze. ?I can?t do it anymore, time has run out. Take care of him. And do me a favor? Hit his father very, very hard.?

?It?d be my pleasure.?

?And here I always thought you were the peaceful type.? Apparently Tom wasn?t as sleeping as he appeared.

?I am. That?s why I didn?t ask him to kill your father.? She gave him a loving smile. ?Good-bye Tommy.?

?Good-bye Shayna.? She disappeared, slowly fading out of existence.

[silence]

?You?re going to miss her aren?t you??

?A little. I?ve always had her around me when I couldn?t make it on my own.? He smiled, ?But now I have someone new to be with.? He shifted in Chakotay?s arms so that he straddled the other man. Putting his hands on Chakotay?s shoulders he leaned down until their faces were inches from each other. ?So, now that you have me in your arms-you said that aloud by the way, did you know?? Chakotay shook his head, blushing and Tom continued, ?whatever are you going to do with me?? He batted his eyes at his lover, who leaned forward to kiss him passionately. Tom moaned as he relished the taste of his lover?s warms lips. But he wanted more, and a lot less clothing. Working quickly, never breaking his kiss with Chakotay he began to unbutton the other man?s shirt until he at last got to that beautiful bronze skin he so desired. After stopping to gasp for breath he began kissing that sweet flesh, relishing the spicy taste as he ran his tongue over the well muscled torso. Glorifying in the moans this produced. He set his hands to work on Chakotay?s pants as he began to attack the man?s nipples, now achieving groans. First he merely gave them a light kiss, then letting his tongue slip through his lips to lick it. This caused an involuntary bucking of Chakotay?s hips that greatly complicated his efforts to get his pants undone. Tom however decided he really liked this reaction and decided to see what would happen if he bit Chakotay. Chakotay?s response was unexpected. He retaliated. Deciding he wouldn?t last much longer under Tom?s ministrations he flipped them over, pinning Tom beneath him and rubbing their prominent erections together. Kissing Tom breathless he ripped off the other man?s shirt, heedless of buttons. Running his hands through the soft blond curls he couldn?t resist the urge to mark that beautiful pale flesh. He nipped his way down from Tom?s neck to his right nipple. Tom bucked and moaned beneath him but did not try to regain the advantage. Divesting Tom of his pants the same way he did his shirt he gasped at the sight of that beautiful erection, finally released from it?s prison. He leaned down and began to run his tongue slowly over it, having to put his hands on Tom?s hips to keep him in place. ?Chak-oh Chak, don?t stop, please.? Smiling Chakotay took his blond angel in his mouth. Tom screamed as he felt that hot mouth on his cock. Chakotay bobbed up and down, knowing his lover was very close to coming. He was right. ?Chak!!? Tom came hard in Chakotay?s mouth, who eagerly swallowed his lover?s cum.

Tom lay panting for a while before suddenly flipping them over. Running his hand over Chakotay?s still clothed erection, he delighted in the desperate moans of his lover. Working painfully slow he finally got Chakotay?s pants off of him. Running his hand lightly over it he nevertheless ignored his lover?s pleas for further contact. Instead he reached over to a drawer in the table to the side and pulled out a tube of lube. Instructing Chakotay to ?Fuck me hard Big Man.? Chakotay moaned and grabbed the lube eagerly. He could barely contain his lust enough to remember to use his fingers to prepare his Tom. Positioning his cock he gleefully thrust into Tom. Tom bucked and screamed as Chakotay came in contact with his prostate. ?More...harder...? he begged. And Chakotay complied, letting his passion reign free and thrusting hard into the younger man. Once again the younger man came with a cry.

His muscles clenched and brought Chakotay after him, ?TOMMY!!!!!!!!? They tumbled off the couch and lay in a heap on the floor for a minute. Then Tom moved to once again straddle the older man .

?Wanna go again??

Chakotay couldn?t contain his laugh, gasping out, ?You?re insatiable aren?t you.?

?Hmmmm.? A very happy Tom Paris began to fulfill his dream of kissing every inch of his love?s body. Making the other man groan, ?You?re going to be the death of me.? Oddly he didn?t sound upset at all by this.

?But what a way to go.?
