"Would you hurry up. I donÕt know what the big deal is just drop your pants so we can get this done before we are called to the bridge.Ó "Kathryn i donÕt think this is going to work. It is already too big.Ó " Nonsense, Now drop those drawers thatÕs an order."

"Geez, you know you are never this forceful in our quarters.Ó " Ah, I see what you mean. This could be a problem. I will have to get a some lotion to help soothe the soreness.Ó "Well why you do that I just hope your brother does not come in here and sees me naked in your ready room.Ó "Relax, besides it is his fault anyway he should never have given you that drink knowing itÕs affects on you. I have already thought of a way to get back at him.Ó "Well leave me out of it. Ouch! that hurts. Would you be careful with your nails?Ó "snirk> I thought you liked my nails?"

"I do but not when the are so dangerously close as to unman me. Then where would you be when those hormones kicked in?Ó "I could find a replacement."

Chakotay hearing this grabs Kathryn around the waist and pulls her body flush with his. Pressing his growing erection against her he decides to show just how lost she would be without him. "SO..., tell me would anyone do or should I continue? Your breathing is already racing Captain perhaps I should contact the Dr.Ó Turning out of his embrace , sitting him on her desk she leaned over once more very much aware of the position she was now in. ÒYouÕre going to need a doctor if I donÕt get rid of this soon. Would you be still I canÕt get a good grip.Ó "Hey! not so hard it still hurts you know. Look it is getting bigger hurry up KathrynÓ "If it wasnÕt so ugly I would just bite it off." "Hey it is not my fault. Your bratty brother told me there would be no side effects. OUCH!!!!!!!!!Ó Looking up in triumph Kathryn grinned at her success until she heard the unmistakable sound of her ready room doors swishing open. Looking over her shoulder she saw, not only Tuvok with his impenetrable mask on but three security guards in different states of embarrassment at finding their first officer naked on the captains desk and her standing between his legs.

Kathryn in her best commanding voice although it squeaked more then commanded, ÒYou are dismissed gentlemen.Ó After they left Kathryn turned back to face Chakotay noticing he was holding back laughter. ÒJust what the hell do you think Tom is going to do with this info. I will never hear the end of it. And you this is all your fault.Ó "Mine! It was your brother who told me to get one of the new raised tattoos.Ó "Yes but you drank Liftin tea afterwards. It made the Tattoo continue to grow so it would have been so big you would not have been able to cross your legs. And what made you decide to put it on your inner thigh?Ó "It was suppose to say something and I thought there would be appropriate. Can I get dressed now?Ó "Yes, what was it suppose to say?"

He mumbled something she could not make out. "What was that I didnÕt hear?"

"It was suppose to read Will You Marry Me in raised letters.Ó Kathryn just burst out laughing "You where going to have you thigh propose to me. Oh you come here.Ó And with that all thoughts of interruptions, revenge on pesky siblings, and meetings flew out of their minds as they finalized the proposal with a thorough use of their bodies and the furniture.
