Timeline: just before ....
[ON]
Dr. Corsair was on a leave of absence to attend some conferences on Earth and to have some time at Risa for some relaxation.
She made her way to Earth and attended three seminars at a conference and even presented as a panelist for a fourth seminar.
When she was a panelist, she was joined by three other surgeons who were all there talking about their experiences with non-federation races. There was this other doctor, He was sort of always watching her out of the corner of his eye. She was also sort of keeping her eye on him as well.
Dr. Daniel Dreilberg, a surgeon who had been working in a hospital on the outer most edge of Federation space near Pacifica. He presented his time treating aquasapiens who looked humanoid but were really more fish than human.
At the end of the panel, Daniel approached Vivian and started a conversation.
"Hello, Doctor." Dreilberg stated. "I have to say I enjoyed your presentation of how you treated a patient who was more of a gelatinous blob than a solid humanoid."
"Well, Thank you." Corsair replied. "I was also rather fascinated by your treatment of the aquasapiens. I have to admit, I was almost an oceanographer but if felt I could do more good as a physician and a surgeon."
"Well, I must say that I did look up all the other panelists prior to attending after I got asked to speak." Dreilberg responded. "I was actually impressed with your background. Maybe we could have a drink and talk some more?"
"Well, I was actually getting ready to go board a shuttle to Risa for some relaxation before I must get back to my ship." Corsair stated.
"Well, that is funny because I was actually supposed to go to Risa but was willing to skip it to meet you." Dreilberg stated.
oO That is too much of a coincidence. Oo Vivian thought to herself. "Well we could maybe sit together then on the shuttle." She offered to see if he was really going or not. Then she noticed he already had his duffle in tow like she did.
"Well, I think it was meant to be so I would like that very much." Dreilberg replied and offered to carry her duffle.
Being as independent as she was, she hesitated, but let him take her duffle since he did appear to be a gentleman even if she had just met him. They boarded the shuttle and found two seats together that happened to be in the back.
The crew got everyone in place and verified the passengers and the shuttle was off to Risa.
Vivian would have three days at Risa before she had to be on a shuttle to Starbase 51. She would like not see much of Daniel once they got to Risa as she felt she was too boring if they talked the flight there.
Daniel was all attentive to Vivian as she answered his questions and added to the conversation. While Vivian was getting more interested in this man she literally just met and yet this was outside of her normal behavior.
The six hours in the shuttle were full of laughter and pleasant conversation. As the shuttle approached Risa and dropped out of warp, Daniel was still very interested in Vivian and she was now more interested in him. As the rest of the passengers were disembarking, they were still chatting and the crewmember had to ask them to disembark. Daniel grabbed both of their duffels and allowed Vivian to exit first.
As the couple got off the shuttle a staff member of the resort met them.
"Welcome to Risa. I hope you will find what pleasures you while you are here." Then she placed leis upon both with a kiss to the cheek of each.
"Thank you, we are looking to see what wonders we can find here." Daniel replied as he looked directly at Vivian.
"So we have your accommodations in the Blissful Villas on Ecstasy Sound. Dr. Dreilberg you are in Suite 113 and Dr. Corsair you are in Suite 223. However, I am thinking you may want to have a shared suite, am I wrong?" the staff member asked.
"I actually think you may be on to something." Vivian replied.
"Do you think we can be adults and share a suite so we can continue our bonding activities?" Vivian asked of Daniel.
"Why, madame. Are you wanting to take advantage of me?" Daniel replied with a devilish grin on his face. "I do think a shared suite will be terrific as we can still have space if we wanted it but yet spending time together seems like a great plan."
"Very well, you can both stay in Suite 223 as it is the larger with two bedrooms if there were to be a need for that. Which I don't think that will be the case." the staff member replied and directed the couple to the transporter pad so they can be sent to Ecstasy Sound and the Blissful Villas.
Upon arriving at the villas, Vivian and Daniel found the place to be full of barely dressed people of all races. The felt very overdressed as they did leave directly from presenting on a panel at a seminar. They headed directly for their suite.
As they entered the suite, Daniel had sat the duffels down and approached Vivian. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her so passionately that she almost melted into him.
"I have been wanting to do that since I first saw you." Daniel stated so firmly as he finished the kiss.
"Well, that is a nice way to start this vacation." Vivian responded and then pulled him back in for a second kiss.
The two of them continued their embrace as Daniel lifted Vivian up and made their way to the sofa. Where he sat down and then laid her back on the sofa.
---------------------------------
The time had gone by so fast but yet the couple never seemed to be apart. They had an affair to rival affairs of the heart for eons. The passion and love were strong between them. Vivian had not had such feeling for any one before but now the time was coming to an end for this chapter. Daniel had to get back to his outpost and Vivian had to get back to the Tomcat.
"I wish we were able to continue this as it has been a wonderful time." Vivian stated to Daniel as she pulled a sheet up to wrap around her. "I would really like to see you more after this and who knows what more can come between us."
"I have very much liked meeting you and spending this time together. While we never got out of this room much, I have had so much enjoyment that I need a second vacation to recover." Daniel replied as he now laid there exposed since Vivian pulled the sheet to her.
"I wish we had more time. But we can make arrangements to meet when we can. I have stops at Starbase 51 on a regular basis between many of our missions. We can make this work." Vivian replied.
"I will make my best to make this work. You are a special woman and I don't want to let you go." Daniel then pulled her to him and they kissed once again.
After another round of play, the lovers had to really get a move on as they were each needed to be on their departure shuttles in an hour and they had not packed up their belongings yet.
After a half hour of showering and packing, the lovers headed out of their suite for only the second time since arriving there. They only left once to go to the beach but then came back for the pleasure they had for one another.
Once at the departure pads, Vivian and Daniel had to say goodbye until they were able to next explore one another more in the future. Daniel walked to his transporter pad after he escorted Vivian to hers. They both beamed up to their respective transport shuttles and were off to their duty assignments.
---------------
After a six hour shuttle flight at warp 5, Vivian was arriving at Starbase 51. She was amazed at her time away from the Tomcat. She was looking forward to the new ship and the new mission ahead. She was also looking forward to her next time with Daniel.
Once on Starbase 51, Vivian when to send a message to Daniel to let him know she had arrived safely to her Starbase and would soon be boarding her ship.
