Chapter Three

The trip to Risa went by fairly quick for most of the occupants of the runabout. They played games, sang songs and talked for the duration of the trip. Kendra had painted a beautiful verbal picture of what they should expect to see. Even Juliana perked up when she described the unique rock deposits and formations that could be found a few kilometers from where they would be staying.

The resort was one of the smaller ones in the area and it also happened to be the one Kendra had worked for during her summers. As soon as Treena, the desk clerk and Kendra's roommate of the previous summer, saw she was a member of the Soong party, she immediately upgraded their rooms at no extra cost. The three rooms they were given were all on the same floor. They were quite large and beautifully decorated in a tropical motif. It was almost dinnertime so they agreed that, after they settled in, they would head down to the dining room for something to eat. As the dining room was semi-formal, they would also have to change. They agreed to meet by the turbolift lobby on their floor in one hour. Data and Lore were the first to arrive. They had changed quickly and had spent most of the time on the balcony looking out at the incredible beauty of their surroundings. When Kendra arrived next, wearing a red halter-top dress that accentuated her gorgeous figure, the brothers' eyes went wide as they admired her form. Kendra placed a hand on each of their chests and remarked how handsome they both looked. When the Soongs arrived, Noonien did his best to concentrate on his wife, who was wearing a dress more appropriate to a woman twice her age, but his eyes kept focusing on how sexy Kendra looked.

While Data did seem disappointed he was not naked already, the group’s first dinner on Risa was very pleasant. The food was exquisite and everyone was relaxing and enjoying themselves. Kendra even managed to coax Juliana into trying some of the local drink specialties. The flavor was so fruity, the younger woman did not realize how much alcohol there was in the drink so she had three with dinner.

Everyone agreed on going dancing afterward and Data was allowed to change into less. The dress code at the dance club was ‘anything goes’ so he ran to his room and changed into shorts and a black tee shirt. Lore considered changing, but since Kendra declined the idea, he remained with her and they danced.

Seeing Lore and Kendra dance had an odd affect on Noonien, so he decided to try to convince Juliana to dance with him. The music was faster than she normally liked, but her state of intoxication had loosened her up just enough, so she agreed.

Data returned and took a turn dancing with Kendra. Lore, still trying to please his father, asked Juliana to dance. Noonien had enjoyed the feel of his wife in his arms, but still was pleased with the effort Lore was making. Juliana also seemed happy. Looking over at Data and Kendra, Noonien could see his younger son’s hands roam her body as they danced. They did not kiss but, by the way they looked at each other, Noonien had no doubt they wanted to. The fact Data and Kendra were lovers was all too clear to him. The fact Lore had been more restrained, but had still looked at Kendra with obvious affection, left little doubt he also shared her bed.

This fact and Noonien’s wonderings about them, caused him to be, once again, distracted. He did not notice Kendra was in front of him until she put a hand on his shoulder.

“Noonie, dance with me,” she pleaded. She moved her hand from his shoulder to take his hand. She pulled him to his feet, not intending to take no for an answer.

Glancing over, Noonien saw Data was now twirling his mother around the dance floor. Juliana was laughing brightly. Turning to smile at Kendra, he nodded and joined her to walk to the dance floor. He was relieved the pace of the music was too fast for her to really press her sensuous body against him but, as the evening did not end with that dance, the next time around, she did. It was a slower dance so Kendra had wrapped her arms around Noonien’s neck. Moving her curves in time with the music, she brushed against him over and over again.

It was more than any healthy man could take. As soon as the song ended, Noonien thanked Kendra for the dance, said good night to his sons, grabbed the hand of his wife and raced her back to their room. He found he could not even wait that long. He began kissing her with pent-up passion in the lift. Juliana had not stopped drinking, so she did not spurn his advances.

When they reached their room, Noonien was almost blind with need. Juliana tripped three times on the way to their bed but he got her there. He was pulling the clothing from their bodies as fast as he could, when Juliana suddenly turned decidedly green, grabbed her mouth and raced on unstable legs to the bathroom. The sounds of her retching filled the room a moment later.

In that moment, with his blood boiling and now no chance of release, Noonien Soong very much wanted to die. 

The night was long for both Noonien and Juliana. She had thrown up twice more before falling into a deep slumber. As his wife slept, Noonien sighed as he stepped into the cold stream of water in the shower. After, he had put on his pajamas and stepped onto the balcony to catch his breath. As he looked out towards the beach, the image of Kendra walking slowly out of the lake filled his mind. He returned to the room, slid in to bed next to Juliana and fell asleep.

Kendra, Data and Lore had stayed at the dance club a little while longer. Over the course of the evening, several friends and acquaintances had stopped by the table to say hello or to ask Kendra to dance. Some of her female friends had also begun to show an interest in her two golden dance partners. Data and Lore did dance a few dances with the ladies but they only had eyes for Kendra. It was a few hours later when Kendra suggested to her escorts they take a walk on the beach to get some fresh air. Although they were having fun at the club, they both jumped at the opportunity to be alone with Kendra for a while.

The sand was warm and soft as they walked arm in arm in the moonlight along the beach.

"What do you think of Risa so far?" Kendra asked them. "Is it as wonderful as you thought it would be?"

"Better," Data responded quickly. "I am very happy we are staying longer than originally planned."

"Your friends are very nice, Kendra," Lore commented. "That was the first time I've been to a social gathering and felt accepted as part of the group."

"I felt the same way, brother," Data concurred.

"Maybe a little too accepted," Kendra commented to their surprise. "With the way some of my friends were coming on to you two, I had to get you out of there quick or I was going to be the one alone tonight."

Lore leaned over to tenderly kiss Kendra. "There was no chance of that happening. You are the only lover I want."

"I once again agree with my brother," Data smiled before kissing her.

They continued walking down the beach until Kendra led them down an unused path towards a wooded area.

"I want to show you my special hiding place. I used to come here when I wanted to get away from everything and everyone. There is a little clearing ahead that I used to lie in and stare up at the stars. You'll love it," she assured them.

Once the threesome left the area where others were about, Data began to pull off his clothing. Lore chuckled at his brother, but decided to follow his lead. They left the clothing they had removed right where it fell, knowing no one would bother them. Once nude, Lore and Data began to work on ridding Kendra of her sexy dress, even as they still walked.

Not wanting to get sand in it, Kendra convinced Lore to hold her dress, if she agreed to remove it now. She walked with them only in a blood red thong.

Once they arrived at the clearing, Kendra stretched out in a bed of soft leaves. Data was delighted by the wonderful view of the heavens, but Lore, who had missed his time with Kendra the previous night, was more interested in the view between her legs. He removed her thong at once and immediately dove to take her clit in his mouth, sucking her like a starving man.

Seeing this, Data realized what he was missing, but had already lost the chance for the favored area of Kendra’s body.

“Come over here, Data,” Kendra moaned. She moved Data until she could take his penis in her mouth. He was hard for her at once. Both were moaning and panting in minutes, but now Lore wanted more. Lifting up to whisper to Data, they changed positions. Data was now on his back, with Kendra over him, once again devouring his penis. Lore was behind her, and thrust into her with sheer delight. Data was turned so while he could not orally stimulate Kendra, he could finger her clit. Kendra came first, with Data exploding in her mouth once she had recovered and could suck him dry. Lore enjoyed the sights and sounds of the other’s passions being spent before he too reached the delightful edge and erupted within Kendra.

The three lovers enjoyed hours of love play before Lore carried an exhausted Kendra back to her room while Data carried all of their clothing. As the threesome made their way through the more crowded areas, it was obvious to all they passed, what had taken place between the three naked people. Looks of envy from those of both genders were noted by both Data and Lore.

Kendra woke the next morning with Lore at her breast and Data’s tongue teasing her clit. It was a wonderful way to wake up for a sex toy.

Kendra smiled and moaned a good morning to her bedmates as she enjoyed their efforts. They both looked up at her with smiles in their eyes but did not stop their feasting. Data continued to work his magic between her legs as Lore orally manipulated her breasts while occasionally claiming her mouth with his. It was not long before Kendra's back was arching from the wonderful release she felt. When Data had completed his task, she sat up and grabbed his face to kiss. She then coaxed Lore onto his back before taking his erection in her mouth as Data moved behind her to penetrate her with his own erection. Lore moaned as Kendra ran her tongue over the head of his penis before sliding her mouth down the shaft. They continued to play together for another hour until it was time to get dressed for breakfast.

The pleasure being experienced in Kendra’s room was in stark contrast to the goings-on in the Soong room. Juliana was not feeling well so Noonien had suggested she stay in bed and sleep longer instead of coming down for breakfast. Just the thought of food made Juliana feel nauseous so she agreed.

Data and Lore had already slipped back to their own room so Kendra decided to have a quick shower and change into a three-piece sarong outfit. Noonien had come to his sons' room to fetch them for breakfast before they made their way to Kendra's. All three men smiled as Kendra joined the group, each enjoying the vision in front of them in their own way.

"Where's Juliana, Noonie?" Kendra asked.

"She wasn't feeling well. She's going to sleep in a little while longer," he replied.

"I hope you two had fun last night. You left so suddenly," she grinned.

"Dinner was wonderful and we did have a really nice time at the club. It was nice to see Juliana so relaxed," Noonien commented. "Data, Lore, how did you two enjoy your first night on Risa?"

"It was incredible," Lore smirked.

"We met some of Kendra's friends and they were very nice to us. It was very different from home," Data added.

Kendra convinced them to try a small eating establishment down the road from the resort that was a favorite of hers. They had a leisurely breakfast at the quaint café with the wonderful view and incredible food.

Both of the androids seemed to know their father knew of their relationship with Kendra, so they made less effort to bridle their feelings for her. Noonien was impressed with not only how tender and loving they were to her, but how much genuine affection Kendra showed for both of them. The smiles, and little touches the three exchanged made it clear this relationship had grown. It was also clear that Kendra was a special woman to be able to not only care that much for his android sons, but to be able to satisfy two beings that did not tire.

A few minutes before they had concluded breakfast, Kendra’s friend, Treena came by their table and joined them for a moment. Another female friend of both of the women had left the security codes to a boat and Treena wanted to know if Kendra would join her later for an overnight trip out to sea. Data and Lore looked reluctant to part with their lover, but Kendra looked so excited about the idea, they sighed and encouraged her to go. The two women exchanged a warm hug and agreed to meet up just before noon.

“Well, I don’t know about you three, but I want to have some time to swim in the water before I cruise along on top of it.” Grinning at the three men, Kendra stood up from the table and pulled off her sarong. Throwing it into the beach bag she had brought with her, she smiled at the men and turned towards the beach. All of those who remained at the table gasped audibly when she turned to reveal her suit bottom was a thong.

“I’m going to go check on your mother,” Noonien said, feeling like he needed another cold shower. “I’ll see you boys at noon for lunch. Let’s meet at the place next to our resort, okay?” Noonien raced off before either android had a chance to reply.

When he arrived in his room, Juliana was in the shower, so he was prevented from going there himself. Juliana thought of showers as a private thing and insisted their marriage did not change that fact.

When she got out, Noonien was pleased to discover his wife had been visited by a local doctor in his absence and was fully recovered now. He was, however, not pleased that she now did spurn his advances.

“Juliana, please, I wanted to make love to you so badly last night when you got sick. I need you.” He made sure she could see the prominent bulge in his shorts. He moved to take her in his arms, but she pushed him away again.

“It’s indecent, Noonien. It’s first thing in the morning and the breakfast I ordered has not even settled in my stomach yet.”

Biting his upper lip, Noonien headed for the now empty shower.

Since Kendra was wearing a bathing suit, the brothers rushed back to the hotel to change into suits as well. They made their way to the beach to look for Kendra. They were not able to see her at first but then she surfaced from under the water. The two androids made their way towards her as she smiled and waved. She disappeared under the water again but surfaced a moment later a few feet in front of them.

"You've come to join me?" she smiled brightly.

"We wanted to spend some time with you before you go on your boat trip," Data smiled although there was a hint of sadness on his face.

"You two are so sweet but I won't be gone that long," she reassured them. "What are my guys going to do while I'm away?"

"We haven't really thought about it," Lore realized.

"I think this would be a perfect opportunity for some family time. Why don't you ask Noonie and your mother to go on an overnight camping trip into the hills. Juliana seemed very interested in visiting that area when I mentioned the rock deposits and formations," Kendra suggested.

"It would be a good opportunity to get to know mother better by sharing her interest," Data acknowledged.

Lore and Data looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. They would ask their parents to go exploring in the hills.

"And I bet you’ll have so much fun, you won't even miss me," Kendra teased.

"It doesn't matter how much fun we have, we'll still miss you," Lore sighed.

They enjoyed some time in the water before heading back to the resort. Data and Lore got ready to meet their parents for lunch as Kendra got dressed and packed for her overnight trip.

Noonien and Juliana were already at the restaurant when Data, Lore and Kendra arrived. The two men sat down with their parents while Kendra stopped only for a moment to say goodbye.

"Data and I were thinking it would be fun to go exploring in the hills. We would like to invite you both to come too," Lore asked cautiously.

"We would like to camp overnight and look at the different rock formations and explore the caves. Mother, you would enjoy that, would you not?" Data asked with wide eyes.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Juliana smiled, much to Data and Lore's surprise. "What do you think, Noonien?"

"That does sound like fun but I think I'll stay behind. This trip definitely sounds like a mother/sons trip to me," he replied. "I'm feeling a little tired so hiking through the hills is a little too physical for me right now. I'll just relax at the resort.”

"Are you sure?" Juliana asked.

"Yes, my love. I've heard there is an interesting rain forest display nearby and I think I would like to check it out. You three will have a great time without me," he assured them.

"Okay then. Why don't we get the supplies we'll need after lunch and then we can set off," she spoke with more excitement in her voice than Data or Lore had heard before. They were actually looking forward to spending this time alone with their mother.

After everything they required was packed, Data, Lore and Juliana headed off on their adventure. Noonien was now alone for the next twenty-four hours but he did not want it to remain that way.

It took Noonien no time at all to locate and purchase a Horga’hn. He at first took it to his room and stared at it for a time, wondering if he really wanted to do this. He loved Juliana more than any woman he had ever known, but he was not able to live without sex. Lately, he had only been able to talk her into it once a week but that was only enough to whet his appetite.

The fact he was near certain Lore and Data were both having sex with Kendra and, most likely here on Risa, everyone else was getting it from someone, made Noonien half mad with desire. If using the Horga’hn to solicit jamaharon was what it took to satisfy the insatiable desire that coursed through him, then so be it. He took another shower, but this time to make sure he was clean for what he hoped was to come. He dressed in shorts and a shirt set that he felt made him not look too geeky and decided he was ready. Grabbing the wooden statue, Noonien covered it in his over shirt and headed for the door.

Still suffering from uncertainty, Noonien took a lounge chair just outside the resort, so he could run if he thought he was in over his head. It still took him forever to gather the courage to pull the shirt off the statue. Once he had, he lay back and tried to relax. He still had not been able to convince himself to let his breath go when he spotted a woman who looked just like Kendra.

Sitting up, he realized she was coming towards him. As she moved closer Noonien realized it was Kendra. Gripped with fear, Noonien grabbed the Horga’hn, tossed it under his lounge chair and got up to see why Kendra was here.

“There’s a hole in the weather control net and it just happens to be over the sea,” Kendra explained once she reached him. “Treena and I are going to try to get together in two days when they expect to have it repaired. Where is everyone else?” she asked him.

“The boys invited Juliana and I to go with them on a little expedition, but I didn’t really want to go,” Noonien explained with a shrug.

“Well then, I guess I’ll just have to take care of you while your family’s away.” With a sultry smile that took his breath away, she linked her arm with his and pulled him along towards the beach.

“Where are we going, Kendra?” he asked, still fighting to get air to his lungs.

“You need some sun, Noonie. We’re going to get some towels and lotion and you’re going to gain some color. You look deathly white.”

Gulping, he nodded. He knew he was helpless to refuse.

Once they were on the beach, Kendra spread out the towels and made Noonien lie on his stomach, without his shirt, on one, so she could put the lotion on his back.

“You’re back muscles are as stiff as boards, Noonie,” she exclaimed, beginning to work over his clenched shoulders. “Relax, I’m going to give you a nice massage. Maybe it will even put you to sleep and you’ll feel better.”

“Little chance of that,” he mumbled under his breath, wondering how much of this he could take. He could feel her breasts brush his back as she worked, but this was nothing compared to when she decided to straddle his back to better reach his shoulder muscles.

“Does that hurt?” she asked, sensing him tense even more.

~ Only my aching balls, ~ he thought, but did not say. “No, I just wasn’t expecting it.” He managed to say. The more she touched and massaged him, the harder Noonien got. Even with not being able to see much of her from behind him, he could feel her hands, breasts and bare thighs. She still had on that thong bikini and all he could think about was wanting to rip it off her and plunge into her depths.

“Noonie, roll over and let me rub this other lotion on you. It has very relaxing properties,” Kendra told him as she moved her soft skin off his back.

“No, I’m relaxed enough, Kendra. Really, I’ll be fine,” he assured her. He could not let her see what she was doing to him.

“Come on, Noonie. Just roll over. It will only take a minute,” she insisted, trying to roll him herself.

“No, Kendra!” he almost shouted.

Stunned by his outburst, she recoiled from him, looking very hurt. Shame consumed him or at least that which was not already alight with desire. With eyes full of regret and repentance, Noonien slowly rolled over. Kendra could not help but see the huge bulge he had been trying so desperately to conceal from her.

“Noonie, surely you and Juliana-” The sad shake of his head stopped her flow of words. “But you two were kissing when I saw you leave last night.”

“She got sick as soon as we got back to our room,” he explained, moving to sit with his legs folded, hoping that would cover some of his condition. “I’m sorry, Kendra. I don’t want to insult or offend you. I know you are involved with Data and Lore. I had hoped to find someone to give me a little relief while Juliana was gone. I don’t want to hurt her.”

“If you want discreet companionship, then look no further, Noonie. I’ve always dreamed about being with you, since I was a girl. If you’d like...I swear, I won’t tell Lore or Data. I’ll never tell a soul,” she vowed.

Noonien’s jaw dropped and his groin throbbed. He could not even choke out the word “yes”, but Kendra understood. She brought her lips to his and was not surprised when she was propelled to the sand and he moved to cover her body with his.

Since this was an adult only beach, the pair did not have to fear exposure. Within seconds, Kendra moved her hands down Noonien’s lean and muscular frame until she reached his shorts. She was not surprised at how little effort it took to get him out of them.

Noonien pushed down Kendra's thong with his hand without breaking their kiss. Her lips were so soft and sensuous he had difficulty giving them up. He ran his hand slowly up the outside of her thigh towards her firm stomach. Her skin was so smooth it was like caressing satin. Kendra lifted herself slightly to allow him to undo the clasps of her top. He pushed the fabric away, bringing his hands up to cup her ample breasts.

"Noonie, take me now. We have all day and night to explore each other but you need relief now," she whispered in his ear after they finally had broken their passion filled kiss.

He moved himself into position between her legs plunging his rock hard erection into her. He reclaimed her lips as he continued to thrust deeper and deeper into her. Kendra's hands caressing his body felt intoxicating to him. She broke their kiss to allow a gasp to escape her lips as her orgasm rushed through her. Noonien was not far behind. Soon he was crying out as the frustration he had been feeling was released in his climax. Kendra had such an effect on him he had not lost his erection. He continued his penetration of her, pounding harder and harder until she again felt the passion rise within her, calling out his name as she came again and again. His own orgasm had a powerful effect on him. As he moved next to her in the sand he realized he had not felt this whole in years. There had been times when he had blamed himself for the unsatisfying sex life he and Juliana shared. He had wondered if the difference in their ages made him physically unattractive to his wife but Kendra had proven to him he had been wrong about that. The smile on her face, the look in her eyes, the way she was running her fingers over his chest as they both basked in the glow of this encounter told him that. She kissed him tenderly before gently tracing the outline of his lips with her finger.

"You were right," she whispered in his ear. "My memory is faulty." She grinned at him and both began to laugh.

They were both covered in sand, so they decided to go back to Kendra’s room. Noonien asked her if she wanted to shower first, and she laughed at him.

“What do you mean, first? Come with me, Noonie.” Kendra held her hand out for him to take as she led him to the bathroom. After laying out towels for them both, she turned on the water and pulled him under the spray with her.

It felt like culture shock for Noonien. In the time they had been married, Juliana had already brainwashed him into thinking that taking a shower together was wrong. He stood there with her, but would not touch Kendra, but he could not take his eyes off her beautiful body.

Kendra instinctively knew what was happening to him, so she moved to him slowly. “How long?” she asked, gently.

“What? What how long? What do you mean?” he stuttered nervously.

“How long has it been since you’ve showered with someone, or felt desired by someone – attractive, sexy, like a man? We just made love twice and yet here you are, like a frightened rabbit. What has she done to you, Noonie?” As she spoke, Kendra moved her hands to his chest, slowly moving them up his body and neck until she held his face between them.

He looked down at his feet. “I love her, Kendra. I have since the first time I laid eyes on her. She’s gentle and sweet and looks after me-”

“But does she treat you like a man?” Kendra countered. “I’m not trying to tell you to leave her, Noonie, but maybe it’s time to look for some solutions to the problems you two have. It will end your relationship one day if you don’t.” She lifted his chin and smiled at him encouragingly. “I’ll do anything you want me to do, including nothing,” she assured him.

Noonien smiled slowly back at her. “Remind me again what it feels like to be a man.”

Kendra’s smile got bigger as she nodded. Moving closer, she kissed him tenderly.

The discomfort and uncertainty left Noonien and his erection soon returned to him as Kendra kissed her way down his body. He was trembling again when she took him in her mouth.

“She does not do this for you?” Kendra asked, after only one lick of his engorged shaft. Noonien shook his head. “And you don’t get to enjoy her orally either?” Another shake. Kendra sighed before giving his penis a fond sucking for only a moment. Coming back to her feet, she looked Noonien in the eye. 

“I want you to feel comfortable, Noonie. We can go to the bedroom to continue, so let’s get cleaned up and out of here,” Kendra instructed, carefully.

Once they were dry, Kendra draped her body across the bed and looked at Noonien with inviting eyes. “Do whatever you want with my body, Noonie. Anything you want me to do, I’ll do. Any position, any act you want me to perform - anything.”

Noonien’s eyes lit up and he had trouble keeping himself from drooling. The very idea of what she was offering him made him light-headed. Moving to join her on the bed, he just wanted to hold those perfect globes that had been teasing him for days. He fondled and caressed them, taunting and teasing her nipples as Kendra moaned.

Thrilled by how only his touch had caused her to respond like that, he moved his hands down her slim body. Her triangle of pubic hair was trimmed down to allow a greater view of what lay beneath and Noonien wanted very much to see her this time. Moving lower, he moved her legs wide apart and studied her for a moment. Reaching out, he finally touched her with a tentative finger.

Kendra moaned again. “Oh, Noonie. I have fantasized about being with you. Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed about getting closer to you.”

He was shocked again. He had never known she felt that way about him and now it had a huge affect on him. He was much less timid as his fingers explored her folds. Feeling daring, he pulled her labia apart to reveal her hardening clitoris. Excited that it was he who was causing it to harden, he leaned in to take it in his mouth, something he had never been allowed to do with Juliana.

Kendra arched her back and moaned much louder this time. Noonien pulled her lips farther apart, recalling a former lover and drawing on that knowledge. He teased her clit with his tongue and then sucked and flicked it furiously. Reaching up, he took hold of a breast and fondled her nipple until it too was as hard as a rock. A second later, his face was drenched with her juices as she cried out and came loudly.

Noonien hoped Kendra did not become upset with him, but he could not contain himself a second longer. He impaled her with his aching erection. It seemed she did not mind as she grabbed his face and kissed him with a ferociousness he had never seen before. Pulling him tight to her body as he thrust in and out of her, Kendra wrapped her legs around him and practically clawed at his back.

Noonien came like a volcano within her, shooting his seed deep inside, calling out her name in a panting moan.

They had been making love for hours before they decided to take a break to replenish their energy. Kendra placed an order for room service to deliver a seafood platter, a fruit tray and a bottle of wine to her room. Kendra could sense Noonien was a little uncomfortable with the idea of eating in the nude so she retrieved the two robes the resort supplied from her closet and gave one to him before slipping into the other. Dinner arrived twenty minutes later. Kendra brought in a large tray placing it on the table by the balcony doors.

"Seafood," Noonien exclaimed as he sat down at the table. "I haven't had lobster, crab or oysters in years."

"You do still like seafood?" she asked. "They were your favorite or is my memory really that bad."

"They are my favorite but Juliana doesn't like it so it's been a while," he smiled. "So, did you really have a crush on me all those years ago or were you just trying to make me feel good?"

"It was much more than a crush," Kendra smiled. "When you're 13 years old, Noonie, it’s an undying love. You have no idea how much of an influence you were to me, Noonien Soong. I had absolutely no interest in cybernetics until you started hanging around our house and now look at me, a PhD in cybernetics," she laughed.

"You want me to believe your father had no influence on your decision to pursue the field?" he asked skeptically.

"He and mom wanted me to follow in her footsteps. They thought there were more opportunities for a chemist compared to a cyberneticist."

The pair enjoyed the seafood platter. Everything tasted better than Noonien had remembered and it was also a much sexier food than he remembered. When they had finished the platter and half of the bottle of wine, Kendra picked up the fruit tray and took it over to the bed. She motioned for Noonien to join her. She removed her robe before undoing his and sliding it off his shoulders. They crawled on to the bed where Kendra picked up a piece of a luscious pineapple-like fruit and fed it to him.

"Dessert is always so much more fun in bed," she smiled before kissing him tenderly.

Noonien was already regaining his erection when Kendra asked him to close his eyes for a moment. He looked uncertain, but nodded and did so. When she told him to open them again, her intentions were quite clear.

She was stretched out beside him with a slice of the curved liksin fruit garnishing each breast, a tillic cherry between her perfect globes and a trail of diamond berries running down to her navel. She had her knees up and together as Noonien moved to devour the first of the liksin fruit.

Once he had consumed the last diamond berry, he turned to grin at her, having enjoyed this fruit tray and his tray’s moans as he partook of what she had to offer. But Kendra shook her head at him.

“Oh, you’re not done, Noonie. You missed one.” She parted her knees and allowed him to peer between them. He could see a tickle fruit, one that resembled a finger sized banana, but pink in color, peeking out of her luscious folds.

“Looks like someone’s tongue is already there. I think I’m jealous,” he teased with a grin. He moved from beside her to between her legs and just enjoyed the view for a moment. Until this day, it had been many years since he had been able to enjoy this act of sex and oral sex had always been one of his favorites. Not just having it performed on him, but performing it as well.

Reaching in, Noonien drew the tickle fruit from Kendra’s vagina, dragged it lazily across her clit and brought it to his mouth. She moaned at his efforts. Reaching over to the fruit tray, he selected the most sticky, juicy fruit there and picked a slice to enjoy. He ran the fruit over her delicate folds before bringing the fruit to his mouth. Each time, he would collect some of Kendra’s sweet flavor on the fruit, while leaving behind the fruit’s sticky sweetness.

When he had eaten all the fruit, Kendra was saturated with the sweet syrup of the fruit and her own sweet juices had been combined with it, just as Noonien wanted.

Feeling like she had gone from sex toy to feasting table, Kendra had been writhing at his and the fruit’s delicate touches for what seemed like tantalizing hours.

Grinning at her with the devil in his bright blue eyes, Noonien dipped a finger into the succulent nectar between her legs and then licked the ambrosia from his finger.

“Mmmm,” was all he said before moving in to devour her folds with hungry licks and sucks. He consumed every last drop of the sticky juice and her wonderful wetness, cleaning every inch of her delicious sex.

Kendra thrashed, moaned and even screamed as she finally came from this wonderful torture. She was hard to reach at this point, but Noonien grabbed hold of her ass cheeks and locked his lips to her lower ones, determined not to let a sweet trace escape him. She screamed out his name and panted heavily two more times before he was satisfied with his efforts.

But now, he was determined to have something else. The need he had for release was so great, he was certain he would cleave her in two as he buried himself to the hilt in her depths. Just before he exploded within her, Noonien wondered if the scratches she was making on his back would show tomorrow. 

"You are such an amazing man," Kendra spoke softly as Noonien slid next to her. "You're brilliant, fun, handsome, sexy and an incredible lover." She gently caressed his cheek as a look of regret suddenly took over her beautiful face.

"What's the matter, Kendra?" Noonien asked. "You aren't having second thoughts about today, are you?"

"No, not about today," she smiled. "Regrets about a day six years ago when I went to see you lecture at a symposium sponsored by the Daystrom Institute. You talked about the strides you had been making in developing a positronic brain. You were so fascinating, I was completely enthralled."

"Why didn't you come and say hello to me?" he questioned. "I would have loved to have seen you again."

"I started to but all the feelings I had for you when I was a kid had come flooding back and I felt like that shy, skinny 13 year old again. You walked past me and smiled but you didn't recognize me. I let my only chance at having you slip through my fingers because of my insecurities and that is what I regret."

Noonien was dumbstruck by Kendra's words. The idea he could have that kind of an affect on any woman, let along this beautiful creature he was laying next to, seemed impossible to comprehend.

"You are a beautiful, vibrant, sexy woman and a brilliant scientist. I see the way people look at you. The men with a burning desire for you in their eyes and the jealousy of the women who wish they were the ones instilling those feelings."

"Men lust after me, Noonie. They don't love me," she whispered.

"Kendra, you are so young and you have your whole life ahead of you. You'll find that special man you are meant to be with." Noonien pulled her closer to him, trying to comfort her as best he could.

Kendra looked into his eyes and smiled weakly. ~ But what if I have found him and he's taken? ~ she thought.

Noonien gently caressed her face before bringing his lips to hers. In an instant the need returned for both of them. Kendra moved to straddle Noonien, her forearms resting on his chest as the passion grew in their kisses. She raised her upper body to give her lover access to her ample bosom which he immediately took advantage of. He cupped her breasts in his hands before bringing his mouth to one. He ran his tongue over her breast before taking her hardening nipple into his mouth. He licked and sucked her breast until her nipple was rock hard then switched his focus to the other. His fingers had already been working their magic so it was not long before her moans became louder and louder. His erection had returned so he moved his mouth from her breast to reclaim her lips as he slid his hands to her firm ass and guided her down onto his stiffness. Kendra gasped in delight before leaning forward with her hands gripping the bedding on either side of Noonien's chest. She quickly established a heavenly rhythm as Noonien moved his lips and hands between her beautiful face and her bouncing breasts. Kendra's back arched as she cried out from the massive orgasm coursing through her. Noonien grabbed her ass to maintain their rhythm and soon found himself calling out as his own orgasm overcame him.

The lovers decided it was time to stretch their legs, so they dressed lightly and went for a walk along the beach, hand in hand. They were silent for a while, and Noonien dared to wonder what his life would be like if Kendra had just had the nerve to come talk to him that day, six years ago.

He had not known Juliana then. He had seen a few women in that time frame, but mostly he had been too busy being brilliant. He wondered if he had paid too high a price for that brilliance, the years of loneliness and now years with a wife who attracted him and told him she wanted him, but would not give herself to him.

“Noonie, we need to talk,” Kendra said, bringing him out of his wonderings.

“Those words have never been spoken by a woman to herald good news for a man,” Noonien said, raising at eyebrow at her.

“It’s not bad news, but there are things we need to discuss,” she said, trying a reassuring smile.

“Okay, like what?”

“Well, I know today is not going to have an affect on your relationship with Juliana and, well, I don’t want it to have an affect on my relationship with Lore or Data. I’d like you to - let’s both agree to keep everything we did and said to each other today, just between us. I know Data and Lore love you very much but Lore is rather possessive and Data is in a way too, but I think it would upset Lore to know what we did.” Kendra’s eyes were pleading.

“You really do care about my boys, don’t you?” Noonien asked, surprised.

Kendra looked slightly insulted. “Of course I do. Maybe at first I was attracted to them because they look like you,” She looked a little embarrassed, and turned to resume their walk. “But now, they’re both so unique and they’re people. I never really believed it would be possible, but they are. They both have their own likes and dislikes. They both have their own sense of humor. I care for both of them in different ways.” She stopped walking and looked him in the eyes. “I don’t want it to end with them,” she confessed.

Noonien nodded his understanding. “I understand. They do seem to be very caught up in you. I’m glad you feel it for them too. You’re very special, Kendra,” he told her.

“There is another thing I want to discuss. I want you to promise me that you’ll try to work this out with Juliana. You have to make her understand what you want from her and-“

“She knows, Kendra. I assure you, she knows.” It was now Noonien’s turn to look pleading. “I’ve tried with her over and over. I’ve begged and pleaded. I’ve cajoled, and-“

Kendra took hold of his shoulders and looked him straight in the eye. “Then maybe it’s time to get some counseling.”

Noonien pulled Kendra into his arms. “Maybe it is. And maybe now it’s time for another kiss.” With that he pulled her closer and brought his lips to hers. 

It was three in the morning, and Noonien was asleep beside Kendra. She had awakened about half an hour ago and just wanted to watch him sleep. Since Lore and Data did not sleep, this was a pleasure she could not indulge in with them.

She felt very conflicted as she stared at the face she had dreamed of for so many years. Kendra had, in the last month, kissed that face hundreds of times, but it belonged to three different men. And she had feelings for all of them.

Lore, Data and Juliana had spent the afternoon and early evening hiking through the hills and exploring the various caves they came upon. They had seen many interesting rock formations in the caves. It was 2100 when they finally returned to the campsite for dinner. They made a campfire and sat around it talking about the day. Juliana actually did most of the talking but had been much more interested in Data's opinions about what they had done that day. She hardly noticed Lore was with them. She had been very obvious in showing Data was the favored son. She had been uninterested in Lore's discoveries but heaped praise on Data for his. When Juliana said good night to them and crawled into her tent at 2300, Lore made his way to the top of a small hill where he sat down and stared up at the sky. Data joined him five minutes later, after cleaning up the site.

"I have never seen mother like that before," Data commented as he sat down next to his brother. "She was so talkative and excited."

Lore shrugged his shoulders and continued to stare up at the stars.

"What is the matter, Lore?" Data asked. "You have been so quiet."

"I shouldn't have come, Data. I'm sure mother would have preferred to spend the day with just you. I don't think she'll ever accept me as a son."

"Please forgive me, Lore. I feel guilty over the treatment I have received-" Data began.

"Don't apologize, Data. It's not your fault, it's her...and me. It's been this way since I was first activated so why should I expect it to change now?" he sighed.

"There is more bothering you, is there not?" Data questioned.

"You know me well, my brother." Lore smiled slightly as he glanced at Data briefly. "I miss Kendra."

"I understand. It was your evening to be with her," Data commented.

"No, Data, you don't understand," Lore shook his head. "Yes, I miss being with Kendra but I really miss Kendra. In the beginning it was just sex but now-" Lore paused. "She's different, Data, special. She is the first person who accepted me for who I am. She sees us as men first. She means so much to me."

The two brothers stayed on the hilltop and talked through the night. They talked more about Kendra, their parents, what they wanted to do the next day when they got back to the resort and how much they both dreaded going back to the colony. As the sun started to rise, they decided to return to the campsite to make breakfast for Juliana. As Data started down the hill, Lore stopped him and gave him a hug.

"I love you, my brother," Lore smiled.

"I love you too, brother."

The rest of the morning, Data kept an eye on Lore, but his mood did not improve until just before they were on their way back to the resort. Data did his best to lift Lore’s spirits, but failing in that, he decided that as soon as Kendra returned, he would make sure Lore was able to have some uninterrupted time alone with her, even if Data had to bodily drag his parents away from them.

Noonien awoke just as the sun was coming up that morning. He rolled quietly out of bed so he did not wake Juliana. He made it to the bathroom and seeing discarded clothing his wife would never have consented to wear, realized he was not where he thought he was.

The morning fog lifted and his brain was flooded with the memories of his hours with Kendra. He freshened up before he returned to the bedroom to peek back at Kendra. She opened her eyes to look at him in the early morning light.

“You okay, Noonie?” she asked, with a yawn. She noticed he did not move from the door of the bathroom.

“Fine. I just forgot where I was for a moment. It just came back to me.” Noonien felt he could move again, so he crept slowly back to the bed. He was glad he had grabbed a robe.

Kendra’s expression darkened. “You regret it, don’t you?” The closer he came, the paler he looked. Her stomach hurt at the thought he was coming to collect his clothes and leave her.

“I think I’m shocked it wasn’t all a teasing dream,” Noonien replied as he approached the bed. Kendra sat up, not thinking about how the sheet was falling from her upper body and that it was the only thing covering her.

As the white fabric flowed down her curves, revealing inch after glorious inch of her beautiful body, Noonien lost his ability to walk again. It had not been a dream. He had truly been here in Kendra’s bed most of yesterday. He had made love to her at least a dozen times and, if the swelling under his robe was any indication, his body and mind very much enjoyed it and wanted more.

While his conscience was bothering him, he was able to rationalize that it had been many years since he had been so completely satisfied - body, mind and soul.

Setting his guilt aside, Noonien commanded his legs to take him to the bed. Ripping the robe from his body, revealing his raging erection, Noonien moved to push Kendra back down on the bed.

“I don’t regret this, Kendra. I only regret that it’s almost over.” His mouth covering hers prevented her from responding. His urgent penetration caused her to forget if she had one.

They made love as if there was no tomorrow and, in a sense, there was not. Both knew in their hearts this would not...could not happen again. Noonien had Juliana to think of and Kendra did not want to hurt her two golden lovers. It was 1000 when Noonien dragged himself from Kendra's bed to return to his room. He needed to shower and change, to make sure there was no trace of Kendra left on his body for Juliana to find. Kendra too needed to wash away the traces of the many hours worth of passion from her body. She stood in the stream of the water thinking about what had happened and the three men who all meant so much to her. Noonien and Kendra did not know the other was thinking the same thing. ~ How can I go on as if nothing has happened? Will they suspect? ~

It was 1130 when they emerged from their respective rooms. They had decided to have lunch together at the café next to the resort. It would be their last chance to talk about the time they had spent together. As fate would have it though, they had just sat down at a table on the patio when Lore, Data and Juliana came into sight.

"Look, father and Kendra are at the café," Data pointed out with a hint of surprise in his voice. They had not expected Kendra to be back until later in the afternoon.

Both Juliana and Lore focused on the pair however their expressions were much different. The melancholy Lore had been feeling was gone in an instant and a smile returned to his lips for the first time since they had left. Juliana, on the other hand, was trying her best to not let her face show how upset she was to see her husband and "that woman" together.

"Kendra, you are back early," Data commented to her when the threesome had reached the café.

"Actually Data, I was barely gone. There was a hole in the weather control net over the sea so Treena and I weren't able to go out," she explained.

"Why don't you take your things back to your rooms and then come have lunch with us?" Noonien suggested.

"Brother, if you wish to remain I can take your pack to our room," Data offered. Lore thanked Data as he handed his pack to his brother. "Father, can you accompany us? Mother has brought some samples back that she wishes to show you." Noonien smiled his agreement and left with his wife and Data.

"Data still isn't the most subtle is he," Kendra smiled. "I have the feeling he wanted us to be alone."

"He knows how much I missed you, Kendra," Lore smiled and took her hand.

"That's sweet. We'll have some special private time later. How's that sound?"

“You don't understand, Kendra. I didn't mean I missed the sex. I meant I missed you - everything about you."

Kendra knew from the look on Lore's face that he was deadly serious and she was surprised by this revelation.

"Lore-" she started but her words were cut off as he leaned over to kiss her.

The kiss Lore gave her was like none Kendra had ever received before. There was a question, a hopeful searching question in this kiss, and Kendra was shocked to realize this. She was also shocked at its source. Lore was critical of everyone, hated most humans, ridiculed 99% of the rest and only seemed to love his brother and father. Kendra had firmly believed all Lore had been interested in was her body. Kendra pulled back from Lore’s kiss and gave him a look of confusion.

“What do you mean, everything?” Kendra sputtered.

“Just what anyone else who would say it means.” Lore gave her a grimace, as though insulted.

“I’m sorry, Lore, but you are not anyone else. You’re one of only two of your kind, and you’re not fond of most of my kind. Please, I can see that you’re serious, but I’m not sure what it is that you’re serious about. What’s going on? What happened on your hike?” Kendra asked, truly at a loss as to how to interpret this.

Lore got to his feet, obviously angry, but hidden in his amber eyes, Kendra could also see pain. “My mother showed me just who she considers to be her son and who she does not. Now I get back and I see you too have chosen. Data seems to have a way with the ladies. I do too, but my way just pisses them off.” Lore turned on his heels and stomped away from the table as soon as the last word had left his lips.

Kendra sat there aghast for a moment before running after him. As she ran to catch up with the long legged and fast walking android, her thoughts were a jumble. The three men in her life had become much more difficult to deal with in the last twenty-four hours, and Kendra felt like her head was spinning.

“Lore, wait!” she shouted, trying to get him to slow his relentless pace so she could catch him. “Please!” she cried out as their chase had taken them into the shopping area of the resort. Finally Lore halted, but he just stopped in his tracks and did not turn around.

“I have no intention of standing here and allowing you to belittle or patronize me, Dr. Reison.” Lore’s tone was dangerous, and this time Kendra was not so sure she was safe in his presence, but she had to try.

“I don’t want to do either of those things,” she defended, moving to stand in front of him. He looked like he would turn away, but Kendra grabbed his arms and held him tightly. She knew her strength was nothing compared to his, but she hoped he would just give her an inch.

She looked him in the eyes, trying to decide what to say to him to get the ball rolling. It seemed she waited too long.

“Well?” Lore snapped.

“Forgive me, I can’t do sixty trillion operations per second. Sometimes, I can barely do one. I want to talk to you and try to get a handle on what you want from me. Something has changed for you, but you’re not even giving me a chance to understand what it is before deciding I’m rejecting it...or you...or what’s going on. Lore? Tell me what happened on the trip with your mother.”

He grimaced and sighed, but Lore relented and told her how Juliana had behaved towards him and towards Data. He told a story of how he and Data had both discovered interesting finds, but even though Lore’s had been just a bit more unique, Juliana had waved him away while bubbling over with pride at Data’s find.

“What the hell is the matter with that woman?” Kendra asked, her hands on her hips.

“She does not like her older son. She is not alone in that opinion.” Lore raised an eyebrow at Kendra.

“Well, you can’t count me among that number. I do like you. I like you a lot. Now tell me how your not getting along with Juliana relates to me?” she questioned.

Lore still did not look convinced it was wise to say and possibly bare feelings, or even just part of them, to someone whose loyalty he now questioned.

“I simply found myself thinking you wouldn’t have acted like her if you were there. You wouldn’t have ignored me. Even if what I had found was not as exciting as what Data had found, you would have just treated me with a fair reaction. My being an android would not have colored your response.”

“You feel it does with Juliana?” Kendra asked, gently.

“Perhaps not, because she seems fond of Data, but I have never been well liked in the colony,” Lore admitted.

Here, Kendra smiled. She put a hand on his chest and gazed fondly into his eyes. “That’s because you don’t want people to like you, you want them to worship you and listen to you like you are so much better than they are.”

“I am, by far, superior to humans and humanoids,” Lore reminded her, tersely.

“And it just pisses you off that you haven’t been elected ruler of them all yet, doesn’t it?” she goaded him, with a devilish smile.

Something in Lore’s eyes changed again. Suddenly, he grabbed Kendra by the waist and crushed her body against his. “That is one of the things I missed about you. You see things so clearly.” He did not give her time to dispute him, he simply pulled her closer by the back of her head and plastered her lips to his.

This time, Kendra felt her resistance breaking.  

When the kiss finally ended, Lore smiled at Kendra as if indicating that at least part of his question had been answered. He gently caressed her cheek and was about to kiss her again when Noonien called to them to come for lunch. Lore sighed but then could not help smiling when Kendra took his hand to lead him back to the table.

Kendra's mind was even more of a jumble now. She looked up at Lore.

~ Is it really more than sex for him? I'm sure he'll change his mind later. It's just his reaction to his problems with his mother, ~ she thought as her words to Noonien came back to her. ~ After all, men lust after me, they don't love me. ~

Lunch was pleasant despite the tension felt by many of the people sitting around the table. Data did his best to keep the conversation going. He told Kendra and Noonien about the trip, even emphasizing the find Lore had made, before asking his father and Kendra what each had done while they were gone.

"I spent some time on the beach with Kendra," Noonien told them. "And I also exercised quite a bit. I haven't had a work out like that for years. It felt great."

"What did you do, Kendra?" Data asked.

"Other than going to the beach with Noonie, I stayed in bed most of the time," she smiled.

When lunch was finished, Juliana dragged her husband away to do some shopping. Kendra had a bathing suit on under her wrap dress and was going to relax at the resort's pool. Data and Lore went to change into their suits so they could join her.

As Data was about to head down for the pool, Lore asked him to wait.

"Data, thank you for allowing me that time alone with Kendra.”

"Lore, as your feelings for Kendra are changing, are you uncomfortable with my relationship with her? If you wish me to discontinue-"

"I don't know what I'm feeling, Data. I don't know what Kendra is feeling either. I couldn't ask you to give her up...not now...not until I know," he half-smiled. "It means a lot to me that you asked though. I'm so glad you are my brother."

"And I am glad you are my brother," Data smiled back.
