Chapter Three Continued

When the brothers arrived at the pool Kendra had indicated, Data was thrilled to discover it was clothing optional and that many were exercising that option. While Lore got in the pool to join Kendra where she was talking to a friend they had met the other night, Data stripped down. Abella had danced with both androids that night, but had danced more dances with Data. Once Lore made it clear he wished to stay by Kendra, Abella winked at her friend and swam over to the side of the pool where Data was sitting. His legs were in the water, so he playfully splashed Abella, but she just laughed.

As Kendra and Lore moved closer and just held each other, Data and Abella flirted with each other. Abella was still in the water and between Data’s legs, so she had an easy time of letting her fingers do the walking up his legs, and then jumping out of the water, kissing him quickly on the lips.

Her actions were having the desired affect on Data, who soon was looking over at Kendra and Lore with a question in his golden eyes.

“What do you think? Shall we make him suffer or let him play with his new sex toy?” Lore whispered in Kendra’s ear. He stood behind her with his arms around her waist.

Kendra elbowed him gently. “You’re so mean. I want Data to have good memories from his first trip to Risa. Now you nod at him with me,” she admonished her lover. With a chuckle, Lore did as she wished and, in the next instant, Data was pulling Abella out of the water to kiss her passionately.

In no time at all, the two were completely tangled up in each other and since Data was already naked, there was no hiding his desire. Helping Abella dispense with her swimsuit, he lifted her over to one of the lounge chairs and lay her there. When Data reclined there as well, he took her back into him arms and their kissing continued, quickly growing more intense. Their hands roamed each other’s bodies, leaving almost no place untouched or licked. They did not care one bit that most of the others here were watching their actions with interest and approval.

Soon, the two began to change their position and Data took his place between Abella’s legs. He fingered her briefly before plunging into her and beginning a rhythm few could match. Abella was already arching her back, so Data took one of her breasts in his mouth and sucked it greedily.

“Data loves breasts. Too bad he was never a baby. He would have loved breast-feeding,” Kendra quipped as she and Lore enjoyed the show the other two were putting on.

“I like breasts too, but only if they’re yours,” Lore intoned. He nuzzled the back of her neck, kissing her just below her pulled up hairline.

“There’s nothing like watching two people, especially two people you know, having sex before your eyes. No holorecording is as intense,” Kendra mused, her breathing becoming slower as Lore pulled her tighter against him and continued to tease the back of her neck with his tongue.

“It’s much more erotic when it’s live, I agree,” he said and just blew on her neck.

Kendra sighed with contentment. She could feel Lore’s erection pressing against her bottom through his swim trunks.

“Do you want to go to the room?” Lore asked her. “I still want to talk to you and I would like to make love, but I want to be alone with you for both. Is that all right with you?”

Kendra turned in his arms to face him. “What more do you want to talk about?” she inquired.

“The fact that what Data is doing right now, I have no desire to do,” he informed her.

“Have sex?” Kendra asked, stunned.

“No, have sex with someone who is not you,” Lore corrected. He grimaced here and Kendra was not sure why so she stayed quiet and let him continue. “I have always thought humanoid mating rituals, rites and traditions were pointless. Why would anyone want to commit to one being and just stay with them. No variety, boring...human.” Lore looked almost angry as he told her this. “I thought my father a great fool for his marriage to mother dear. The same for the other humans on the colony who are paired. All fools, I told myself.” Lore’s expression became pained, as though what he was about to say was hurting him. “I may have been in error to believe that.”

Reaching down, Lore took Kendra’s hand and laced his fingers with hers. Bringing their joined hands into view, he gave them a squeeze and gazed meaningfully in her eyes.

The meaning of what Lore was saying to her, but fighting actually saying, stunned her.

“So many things humans say to each other, mean nothing. I refuse to do that as well. Do you understand, Kendra?”

Kendra was about to answer Lore but they both were suddenly distracted by the loud evidence of Data and Abella's orgasms. When she turned back to face Lore, Kendra smiled at him and gently caressed his cheek. She was about to speak again when Data and Abella rushed over.

"Will you please let father know I will not be dining with him and mother tonight? Thank you," he turned and rushed off with Abella before either Lore or Kendra had a chance to respond.

"Looks like you might need to find some place to stay tonight. Would you like me to ask Treena if there are any rooms available?" she teased, not knowing Treena was standing on the edge of the pool behind her.

"Lore, if you need a place to stay tonight, you are more than welcome to stay with me," she offered.

Kendra turned to see her friend, who was obviously on a break from work as she was wearing her front desk uniform, winking at Lore. Kendra knew that look so she knew Treena was serious about her offer.

"Treena, find your own man. This one’s mine." There was more than a hint of anger and annoyance in Kendra's tone to her friend. ~ Whoa Kendra, where did that come from? ~ she thought.

"Okay, okay," Treena apologized. "I didn't mean to upset you, Kendra. I'll-I'll see you later." Treena turned to go back to the resort's lobby.

Kendra looked back at Lore who had a big smirk on his face.

"Oh, so you enjoyed that, did you?" Kendra asked sarcastically.

"Yes, I did." The smirk was still evident on his lips. Before Kendra had a chance to say anything more he pulled her into his arms, kissing her passionately. "Let's go to your room, shall we?" Lore whispered in her ear.

"Yes, let's do that," Kendra replied.

Lore helped Kendra out of the pool, grabbed a towel and helped her dry off. As they waited for the turbolift, Noonien and Juliana were just returning from their shopping trip.

"Father," Lore called out. "Data, Kendra and I will not be able to join you and mother for dinner tonight." He waved to his parents as the door to the lift closed. Lore looked over at Kendra and could see from her expression she was lost in thought.

~ What is going on here, Kendra? ~ she asked herself. ~ Why do I have no problem with Data and Abella fucking each other's brains out but I practically bite Treena's head off when she came on to Lore? ~ Kendra realized her life was becoming even more difficult than she had originally thought. The turbolift door opened, pulling Kendra back to reality. Lore took her hand as they walked to Kendra's room. He had decided there was no need to talk now. Kendra's actions at the pool answered his question. He was now looking forward to making love with Kendra for the rest of the day and into the night.

When the pair reached the door to Kendra’s room, Lore scooped her up in his arms and carried her over the threshold. Kendra gave him an astonished expression, but did not fight him.

“I read something about a human custom where the man carries his female through the doorway. It was a boring file, so that was as far as I got before I went on to something else.” He let Kendra back down on her feet as she stared blankly. “You know what the reasoning behind it was?” Lore asked her.

“Ah, well, not really. But it was thoughtful of you to do it, Lore,” Kendra stammered. Truth be told, she did not know why the tradition had started, but she did know when it was supposed to be done. She wondered if Lore did too and was pulling her leg.

Deciding that things were getting too heavy around here, Kendra pushed Lore and took off to run behind a couch in the living room group of her room. "Catch me if you can, Lore,” she taunted him.

Not one to refuse a challenge, Lore smirked and shook his head at her. Walking with slow, measured steps, he replied. “You don’t believe for a moment you can escape me, do you? I am faster, stronger and smarter than you. You are very limber and agile, not to mention, very gifted for a human – sorry - but you cannot hope to win.” He stood on the other side of the couch, grinning with his most cocky expression.

“Perhaps what you say is true, but you haven’t caught me yet.” She stuck her tongue out at him and quickly moved to behind one of the chairs to her right.

With an incredulous expression, Lore moved to follow, but she leaped over the back of the chair, bounced on the cushion, and took off across the room, towards the bed. Lore was on her heels as she bounded over the bed and rolled to a stand on the other side. Lore made a dive for her, but missed by a hair. Getting to his feet, he ran after her, soon trapping her in the corner of the room. She gave him a mischievous smile as Lore put an arm up on either side of her, to ensure she could not escape him.

Kendra was breathing hard from the exertion, but Lore now planned to have her breathing hard for another reason. Pinning her firmly against the wall with his body, Lore took her in a deep, passion filled kiss. After a moment, one hand came down from the wall to roam her body. The other hand followed a moment later. Kendra felt the erotic fever take her as Lore’s lips moved between her breasts.

Thoughts of Data, Lore and Noonien ran through her mind, but this was not the time to think about what to do. At this moment in time, there was only one thing she could do - whatever Lore wanted.

Kendra tried to keep going, but Lore just laughed. They had been going at it like crazed animals for hours, so he told her to sleep. He decided he would just enjoy holding her as she slept. Many thoughts and plans entered Lore’s mind as he listened to the soft breath of his lover, but one was at the forefront. He did not want to lose or be parted from Kendra. Perhaps it was a weakness, but he could still glare down anyone who dare throw that in his face.

Kendra rolled over in her sleep. Her shapely ass was now pressed against Lore and this aroused him. He did not try to suppress his growing erection, so very soon it was pressing into her sexy ass cheek. He took pleasure in the feel of her soft skin against him.

“Not now, Noon. Later. Let me sleep more,” she mumbled in her sleep.

~ She is tired but I’ll be damned if I let her sleep until noon. ~ Lore mused.

The sun was just starting to peek through the window as Kendra opened her eyes. She turned her head to see the amber eyes of her lover staring at her.

"Good morning." Lore caressed her cheek gently before kissing her.

"Hello there," she smiled as she pulled him in for another kiss.

"You seem to be well rested. I'm glad because there was no way I can wait until noon to make love to you again," he smirked.

"Noon? Why would you have to wait until noon?" she asked confused.

Lore laughed. "You have such an affect on me, even when you’re sleeping. That affect was pushing in to you and you said 'not now - noon' but I can't wait that long."

Kendra's eyes went wide and she was sure the color had drained from her face.

~ Oh my gods, Kendra, you almost destroyed everything. You have to be more careful. ~

"What's wrong? I can wait if you want. I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do," Lore whispered. Kendra could see the guilt in his eyes and this made her feel even worse.

"Nothing’s wrong." Kendra tried her best to sound convincing. "I was just shocked that I could even suggest waiting that long, even if I was asleep." She pulled Lore to her and kissed him passionately, not only because she wanted to make love again but to also cover her mistake.

It was almost noon when they got out of bed. Kendra was feeling wonderful as she climbed into the shower. She soon was deep in thought as she absentmindedly lathered her body. She was so surprised when she felt a gentle kiss on the back of her neck that she let out an audible gasp as well as having the soap slip from her hand. She turned to see Lore standing there with that smirk she found so sexy on his lips. He bent down to retrieve the soap and, after working up a lather, ran his hands over Kendra's shoulders and down to her breasts. He cleaned every inch of her body using the gentlest strokes Kendra had ever felt. He only stopped the caresses to get more lather or to kiss her. When he was finished, Kendra was mad with desire. As the water streamed down on them, she maneuvered herself against the wall of the shower and pulled Lore to her.

"I need you now, Lore," she moaned. Lore did not need to be told twice. He lifted her onto his erection and began to thrust deeply into her. Her moans were becoming more frequent and louder as he slammed his hardness in and out of her. It only took moments before Kendra was calling out his name as she climaxed. Lore had been so turned on from touching her that he joined her in feeling the ecstasy of orgasm a few seconds later. As the two lovers stood recovering from their pleasure, Kendra wrapped her arms around him even tighter, leaned her head on his chest and sighed a very contented sigh. They stood silently entwined for several minutes before Lore gently coaxed Kendra out of the shower. They dried each other off before returning to the bedroom. Their kisses were leading them on to another lovemaking session when a view screen rose from the desk announcing an incoming message from Room #1834, Noonie and Juliana's room. Both lovers sighed. Kendra threw on a robe and went to answer the communication.

"You aren't dressed yet," Juliana exclaimed more than questioned. "Noonien asked me to let you know he and I are meeting Data for lunch in twenty minutes at the café if you would like to join us. I can't find Lore so if you see him tell him to meet us there." The tone in her voice sounded more obligatory than inviting. Before Kendra even had a chance to respond the screen went dark. She looked over to see a seething Lore glaring at the screen. Kendra made her way to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"It's okay, Lore. I know she doesn't like me-" Kendra started.

"No, it isn't okay, Kendra. She has treated you so badly since you first came to the colony. It really angers me to see her behave like that towards you."

"Just like her behavior on the hike angered you," Kendra commented.

"No," Lore corrected her. "Her behavior towards you angers me more."

Kendra’s features softened at his words. Lore was not a man to shower women in flowers, candy and empty praise. He may feel compelled to offer up words he felt were more factual, but still resembled a compliment, so Kendra knew this anger in his amber eyes was one inspired by a fierce protectiveness for her.

Kissing him with new feelings emerging, Kendra encouraged him to join her in getting dressed. He was still fuming when they made their way to the café, but Kendra pleaded with Lore to make things easy on his father and not start a scene here and now. After some grumbling, Lore agreed, but she could tell he still had something in mind.

When they arrived at the café, Kendra and Lore both were tickled to see Data arrive with Abella in hand from the opposite direction. Noonien and Juliana were already seated, so the androids and their respective ladies joined them.

The meal was a distracting one. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Data and Abella had continued to get along quite well last night. They still seemed very wrapped up in each other, speaking to others only when addressed at least twice.

Lore did have a great deal of trouble not openly glaring at Juliana, but with Kendra squeezing his knee under the table it was easier. Once lunch was over, Lore asked his father if he could speak to him alone for a few minutes. Nodding, he told Juliana he would be back in a moment and followed Lore away from the group. Father and son grinned at how fast Data had taken off with his new girlfriend.

Putting an arm around his son’s shoulder, Noonien asked Lore what was on his mind.

“I find myself very angry with Juliana, father,” Lore informed him. His features already twisting with rage.

“What’s this about?” Noonien asked, concern in his voice. “Your mother led me to believe your trip together was quite pleasant.”

“It was, if you were her or Data. I don’t fault my brother. He is everything I could want in a sibling. Juliana, on the other hand, falls short of my expectations for a mother in almost every area.” Lore turned to stop their slow walk so he could face his father. “Your happiness is important to me, father. I do not wish to displease you or cause a rift between you and your wife, but I do not feel for her as you would have me feel.” The effort Lore was making to keep his rage in check was quite clear to Noonien.

He placed a consoling hand on his son’s shoulder and looked him deep in the eyes. “I understand. I get the feeling there is something more you have to say. Tell me, son.”

“I would like you to assist me in keeping Juliana away from Kendra. I want her out of the line of fire. Juliana doesn’t like her either and it pisses me off to hear her speak to Kendra with contempt. I will swear to keep my feelings buried and show Juliana respect if you will help me protect Kendra from her. Will you, father?” Lore was still irate, but there was also a pleading quality to his voice.  

 "You care a great deal for Kendra, don't you?" The answer to this question was quite obvious to Noonien but he had to ask anyway.

"Yes, father, she is very special to me."

"Let's sit down for a moment." Noonien motioned to a nearby bench. "I've noticed you have been calling your mother by her first name. Is your relationship with her that bad?"

"Father, as I said, I don't want to cause any problems between you and your wife but Juliana made it very clear while we were away that she considers Data to be her son and not me. I can accept her as your wife but not as my mother. I can accept her behavior towards me but not towards Kendra."

"I'll talk to your...Juliana," Noonien promised.

"Thank you." The relief in Lore's voice was very evident. The two men stood but before Noonien had a chance to move, Lore embraced his father. "I love you, father."

Noonien could not remember the last time Lore had made such a public display of affection towards him and was very moved by this.

"I love you too, son," he responded. Noonien watched as Lore walked to rejoin Kendra before he headed back to the café where Juliana was waiting. He noticed Juliana had pulled out a book and was reading while he had spoken with Lore. He sat down next to Juliana at the table, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"What did Lore want?" she asked, although she seemed more interested in her book.

"Juliana, I want you to be honest with me. Do you dislike Kendra?"

Juliana was surprised by this question. She lowered her book and turned to her husband with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Is that what Lore was talking to you about?" she asked. Noonien nodded. "I can't believe this," she fumed. "You really want the truth? I do dislike Kendra. She is too hedonistic. I don't like the influence she has over Data. Look what's been happening here on Risa - encouraging him to go to nude beaches and look at how he was behaving with that friend of hers. It was disgraceful!"

"You don't like the influence she has over Data?" Noonien repeated. "What about her influence on Lore?"

"Lore is already a lost cause," she said as she turned back to her book.

"Lore is not a lost cause. He's a good boy," Noonien responded angrily. "I don't know why you think that but it is obvious that your relationship with him is beyond repair. Juliana, from now on, let me deal with Kendra. If you have anything to say to her, tell me and I'll pass it along." The tone in his voice made it clear there would be no debating that.

"That won't be a problem as the only thing I want to say to her is good-bye and I hope I'll have that opportunity soon." Juliana turned back to her book obviously angry about this entire conversation.

Noonien understood why Lore was so irritated with Juliana as he too was finding it difficult to be near her just now. “I need to go for a walk. I’ll see you in a little while, Juliana.” As Noonien rose from his chair, his wife gave him a dismissive wave of her hand without even looking up from her book.

Suppressing a sigh, Noonien headed for the beach to see what the “children” were doing. The area where they were making themselves comfortable was part of the clothing optional area. Abella and Data were entwined on a large blanket, but not yet nude. Noonien had no doubt this was a temporary condition for his younger son.

As Noonien took a seat in one of the many lounge chairs, he looked over to scan the beach for Lore and Kendra. He spotted them further down the beach, sitting by the water’s edge. Their legs were in the water, and the waves of the tide washed over them in what looked to be a soothing way. The two were enjoying the water, sun and sand. Lore splashed Kendra and she was trying to cover him in wet sand. Both seemed relaxed, content and happy.

A few moments later, Data was scooping Abella up in his arms. He ran at half speed and jumped into the water with her laughing the whole time.

Kendra and Lore noted the antics of Data and Abella and seemed to think it looked fun, so they quickly jumped into the water as well, chasing playfully after each other. Data and Abella stayed in the water for no more than fifteen minutes though, before they came out from beneath the water, kissing. After several passionate kisses, the pair raced back to their blanket, tossed off their suits and began making love.

Noonien was impressed with how well Data had assimilated his sexual program, but felt uncomfortable watching his son involved in this intimate act. Moving his gaze further down the beach, he noted another couple similarly engaged. Since he did not know these people, he felt less compelled to avert his eyes. He watched the unknown pair for several minutes before the movements of Lore and Kendra again caught his attention.

To his chagrin, they too had returned to their blanket. They were not having sex, but they were kissing, holding each other and seemed to be speaking tenderly to each other. This, Noonien did not want to see. The memories of having Kendra in his own arms and making sweet love to her were still too fresh. Noonien tried to pull his eyes from them, but found himself riveted to them.

He heard himself gasp audibly when Kendra lifted up, seductively removed her suit and nodded at Lore to do the same. She pushed him back down and mounted Lore’s prominent erection. Noonien groaned as he felt a tightening in his own loins.

When Kendra threw back her head and her long wet hair trailed down her sexy back, Lore reached up to play with her full breasts. This was all Noonien could take. He recalled the feel of Kendra’s nipples in his mouth and the hardened bud of her sex as she came.

Noonien practically launched from the chair, heading back to the café. Finding Juliana, he took her hand and pulled her to a stand. “It’s time to return to the room, my wife. I require you – now.”

Juliana seemed too stunned to argue, but when they reached the lift, she seemed to find her voice. “What’s going on? Why do you need me, Noonien?” she demanded.

His answer was to grab her and crush her body to his in a fiery kiss. Juliana struggled a bit, but Noonien did not intend to take no for an answer this time. He raced her to their room as soon as the doors to the lift opened enough for them to slip though. Once in the room, he pulled her to the bed and ordered her to remove her clothing.

“It’s not even 1:30, Noonien,” she objected.

“If you don’t take them off, I will,” he told her, shocked at the force in his voice.

Her eyes wide, Juliana followed her husband’s command, looking slightly pale. Noonien removed his own clothing while watching the inches of his wife’s body become visible. His erection was rock hard when his shaking wife was finally nude and scrambling under the covers.

“No, I intend to rid you of this fear you have of sex and nudity.” Reaching up, he ripped all the blankets from the bed, leaving Juliana with nothing with which to hide her nakedness. Crawling on the bed, he headed for the legs of his wife, pulling her from her sitting position to a reclining one. Spreading her legs, he brought his mouth to her sex.

“Noonien!” she all but screamed. “No, please!”

“I need you now, Juliana. This will get you ready for me. I need you ready.” Not allowing her objections to deter him, he took her into his mouth, exploring a region of her body in a way he had never before been allowed.

Juliana tensed under him, but her body responded. She was ready quickly, but he remained here, enjoying the feel. When the throbbing between his legs could wait no longer, he rose up and plunged within her. 

Noonien claimed Juliana's mouth, kissing her with a desire she had never felt before. As the speed of Noonien thrusts increased, Juliana found herself moaning despite herself. Soon she felt a sensation rush through her body that she had not felt before or, more precisely, had not allowed herself to feel before. Noonien soon let out his own loud moan as he reached his climax. Noonien leaned down to kiss Juliana but she turned her head, only offering her cheek. He moved next to her, trying desperately to wrap his arms around her, to hold her in the afterglow he was feeling.

"Juliana, please, let me hold you," he pleaded.

Juliana was very confused. Many of the things Noonien had done to her she found to be abhorrent but it had felt good - too good.

"I need to be alone, Noonien." Juliana's voice sounded emotionless.

"Juliana, please, I want to be with you completely. I love you."

"Go to your sons. I'll meet you for dinner later," she directed.

Noonien's sons were still on the beach with their respective ladies. Lore and Kendra had moved their blanket next to Data and Abella's and the two couples were now talking and laughing together.

"Data, Lore, will you two get Kendra and I something to drink, please?" Abella requested.

"Is that a task that requires both Lore and I?" Data queried.

"Come on, Data," Lore laughed as he pulled his brother to his feet. "That's a code women use. It means they want us to leave them alone for a few minutes so they can talk about us."

They started walking to the outdoor bar located 100 meters down the beach from their position.

"They are both so cute," Abella laughed.

"So, what do you think of Data?" Kendra prodded.

"He is so sweet and such an amazing lover. I'm going to need to take a vacation to recover from this vacation," Abella smirked. "I don't know how you do it, Kendra. Data hasn't said anything but I can tell you've been with both of them, probably at the same time on more than one occasion too." Kendra did not need to respond as her grin confirmed Abella's beliefs. "Are they different - Data and Lore - in bed, I mean?"

"Very. They look alike but they are very different in so many ways, including in bed," Kendra told her friend.

"What's going on with you and Lore? Your feelings for him are very different from how you feel about Data?"

"I care for both of them a great deal. Why do you ask that?"

"You are genuinely happy to see Data and I enjoying each other like we have been and yet, with Lore...well, Treena told me about what happened yesterday at the pool."

"Ah." Kendra could feel her face going flush. "I honestly don't know, Abella. Lore is much more complicated than Data. I'm not sure what's happening between us or whether it will grow into anything more than it is now."

"It's so obvious that he cares about you a great deal, Kendra. What's the problem?"

"I'm not sure I can explain it. Let's just say there are things I have to know he is capable of before I can even think about changing my relationship with him." Kendra had a faraway look in her eyes for just a moment. "They're on their way back. Let's change the subject, okay."

Abella agreed, so they talked about what they all should do for the afternoon. “Oh, I have an idea,” Abella confided, leaning to whisper in Kendra’s ear. “Clothes shopping can be fun, if you pick the right outfits to try on,” Abella grinned wickedly at her friend. Kendra gasped as her meaning became clear and then laughed, nodding.

The four had put their suits back on, but decided a shower and change of clothing would be a good idea before their shopping jaunt. Lore and Data did not seem particularly enthusiastic about the shopping idea, but since they did not want to be without the ladies, they relented.

While the stores had holographic fitting available, the ladies decided that trying on the actual clothing would be more interesting.

While the men sat in chairs in an area surrounded by mirrors, the ladies came out one at a time to model. First was Abella who came out in a white floor-length dress that covered her entire front, but was sleeveless and formfitting. When she turned around, both Lore and Data gasped at the sight of the backless dress that plunged so low it showed more than a hint of the cleavage of her very sexy and firm bottom. Her flowing blond hair trailed down her nude back, drawing one’s eyes lower. There was also a slit that went all the way up the back of her legs.

“I wish this establishment had a clothing optional rule. She is-” Data faltered here for the right words.

“Tempting you,” Lore snickered. “Restraint, my brother. We will show them tonight.”

Next Kendra came out in a mini-dress as gold as the androids. The top was a real showstopper. It was a crossed halter style that barely covered her breasts but if that was not enticing enough, the whole dress had centimeter wide lines where the fabric became alluringly transparent. One such line ran to the right and left of each of her breasts.

Data noted Lore’s reaction to Kendra’s dress and grinned. “I hope you are forming a plan for payback, my brother. I will be eager to cooperate.”

Abella came out with a new item, a short, sleeveless dress. Ninety percent of the dress was completely sheer. The only places that were not were two stripes of hot pink, one that almost covered her nipples and one that did its best to hide the treasures between her legs.

“I wonder if those dressing rooms are soundproof?” Lore reflected.

“I do not believe our rooms are, but I do not care,” Data assured him.

Lore patted Data on the back, chuckling with approval. He stopped laughing when Kendra came out of her dressing room. She now wore a very short black mini-skirt that showcased her long, sexy legs. It was topped with a black and royal blue lace overlay bustier that created more cleavage than the brothers thought possible.

“I think we are done shopping. Do you concur, brother?” Data asked Lore.

Coming to a stand, Lore said, “Truer words have never been spoken.” Pulling out a payment chip, Lore handed it to the clerk and told him to deduct the cost of the two the women were wearing. Once that was done, Lore grabbed Kendra’s hand and Data took Abella’s, pulling the sexily clad woman from the store and back to their shared room.

Once the four were in the room, Lore smirked at his brother. “Time for payback, Data. Let’s get them.”

"Mmm, I've always loved your idea of payback," Kendra purred.

"Oh my! What are they going to do to us?" Abella added, feigning distress.

Lore and Data moved towards the ladies, forming a circle, in the center of the room. Lore leaned over to claim Kendra's mouth for a passionate kiss as Data did the same with Abella. Lore then brought his lips to Abella's while Data turned his attention to Kendra. The brothers began to remove each woman's clothing, gently caressing each new area of skin as it was exposed. Once they were nude, it was now Kendra and Abella's turn to help the men. The foursome moved down to their knees, sharing kisses while groping each other as the excitement grew between them. It was not long before both men were rock hard. Kendra lay on the floor as Abella moved behind her, sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs spread. Lore was the first to move. He positioned himself so he was straddling Kendra's chest and bent forward to begin a detailed exploration between Abella's legs. Abella lay back, draping her legs over Lore's shoulders as he began. He started by massaging Abella's clit with his fingers causing her to moan. He moved his fingers to insert in her vagina as he moved his mouth to suck her hardening clit.

As Lore was pleasuring Abella, Kendra had his stiffness in her mouth. She raised and lowered her head, gently brushing her teeth on his shaft. She slowly moved down so only the head of Lore’s penis was in her mouth. She ran her tongue seductively over the most sensitive areas before blowing gently. Lore’s moans were all that interrupted his feasting between Abella’s legs.

Meanwhile, Data had slid down on the floor between Kendra’s legs and had begun his own oral attack on her sex. He thrust his fingers in and out of her wet vagina as he sucked ferociously on her clit. He knew Kendra was near the edge so he moved to his knees, lifted Kendra’s sexy butt, plunging his erection into her.

The sounds of pleasure filled the room as one by one each of the four called out as the passion swept through them. When Kendra released Lore’s penis from her grasp after catching all she could of his cum, he stood up, allowing Abella’s legs to slide down before he plunged into her with his still hard penis. Abella gasped in pleasure as Lore began his thrusts. Kendra took Data’s hand and pulled him to the bed. She had Data on his knees at the head of the bed before moving to position herself so Abella would have access to her wetness while she took Data in her mouth.

The foursome continued their session, at times breaking into couples and other times enjoying a group encounter. At one point, Kendra whispered to Lore that Abella would really enjoy the treatment she had received on the beach during their first encounter on Omicron Theta. Kendra was correct. They continued into the evening before Data and Lore took mercy on their lovers and allowed them to rest.

Lore and Data lay with their bodies entwined with the women as they slept. The two had been talking quietly, so they would not wake their lovers. Data told Lore about some of the things he and Abella had done together the night before. Lore enjoyed the tale and the telling.

“I have noticed when Abella refers to the act, she calls it sex, but Kendra refers to it as making love. When I look up the definitions, sex is listed as an act, a part of the body or the method for reproduction. Lovemaking refers to emotions and personal attachments and the expressions of those emotions. I am confused.” Data looked to his brother for clarification.

“I think our father wrote both of those definitions, Data. Two terms for the same act,” Lore said, but his voice did not hold much conviction.

“You do not believe there is a difference, brother?” Data asked.

Lore looked down at Kendra, asleep, with her hands pressed to his chest. Absently, he brushed a few strands of hair from her beautiful face. “I used to think there wasn’t, Data. Maybe our father is smarter than I’ve given him credit for in the past...at least in this area. I like making love.” Lore looked from his lover’s face back to that of his brother. “Is there a difference for you, Data? Is it different for you when you’re with Abella than when you’re with Kendra?”

Data considered this for a moment before speaking. “I enjoy sex with Abella and I enjoy it with Kendra. I am not certain of what I feel for either of them. I do believe Kendra feels something for you, brother.”

Lore’s expression became harder, suddenly. “Emotions - what a foolish thing to give to a machine. Androids shouldn’t have emotions. We should be creatures of facts and not have to be dragged down by these foolish emotions. Data, Lore. Our names even mean facts and information, knowledge and wisdom - nothing about emotions in there,” Lore lamented.

“Kendra also means knowledge, Lore. She does not mind having emotions. She does seem to prefer you, as I believe she sees me as too inexperienced, too naïve,” Data sighed at this.

Lore smiled consolingly at Data. “You won’t always be naïve, Data. You’ll see. You’ll grow up and be just as sharp as your big brother, but meanwhile, don’t sweat it, you’re fine just the way you are. If fact, you’re my favorite brother.” Lore reached over and patted his brother on the arm.

Data gave him a skeptical look. “I am your only brother, Lore.”

Lore nodded at him. “I know, I like that about you too.”

The brothers continued to talk quietly until dawn. Lore felt a discontentment, a yearning. It was an odd feeling and it was growing. In her sleep, Kendra’s hands moved against Lore’s chest, almost like a caress. Data had fallen silent, so Lore looked down at the woman whose movements beside him were causing these feelings. Lore slipped his other arm back under the blanket in search of Kendra’s back. He found Abella’s breast at first, but this was not the skin he wished to touch, needed to touch. He craved the feel of Kendra’s flesh under his fingers. Ever so slowly, Lore ran his fingers over her silky softness. He closed his eyes and just took in all the information his fingertips gave him. He also allowed his emotions to run wild.

Passion. This was what touching her meant to Lore. Touching Abella had been sexually exciting, it had given him release, but the deeper emotions only came at the sight of this one woman.

~ Damn these emotions, ~ Lore cursed. ~ How cruel to give us these emotions. To allow us to feel for their kind but are they capable of feeling the same for us? ~ Kendra moved again and Lore felt that yearning again. He knew what it was and the feelings mocked him. He wanted this woman to wake up and be with him. Sex, lovemaking, talking, walking - Lore did not care, he just wanted her and it was tearing him apart.

Kendra continued to move in her sleep. She pulled herself closer to Lore, wrapping her arms around him as if they were the only two in the bed. Lore smiled as he wrapped himself around her. Kendra whispered his name in her sleep as a warm smile crossed her lips.

Kendra awoke before Abella, smiling up at Lore, she leaned towards him to kiss him gently on the lips.

"Good morning." The look on Kendra's face, the sparkle in her eyes had such an effect on Lore.

"Good morning, Kendra. I hope you slept well," Lore whispered.

"As do I," Data added although his words had an unexpected effect on Kendra, they seemed to startle her. Kendra turned her head to give Data a warm smile. She had forgotten Abella and Data were lying next to her. Lore had that affect on her, when she was in his arms she felt like no one else existed. She liked that feeling but it scared her too. She knew she could not lose control until she knew what Lore was capable of and what she was capable of as well.

"Good morning, Data," she whispered, not wanting to wake Abella.

"If you wish to go for breakfast, please do," Data encouraged the couple. "I will stay with Abella while she sleeps."

Lore and Kendra quietly got out of bed and got dressed. They waved to Data as they left the room.

"I need to change my clothes. Do you mind if we stop at my room first?" Kendra asked. Lore took Kendra's hand as they walked down the corridor to her room.

"Did you have fun last night?" she asked as they entered.

"It was an enjoyable evening of sex," Lore replied.

"Yes, it was," Kendra agreed.

"As good as it was, it didn't come close to how great it is to have you to myself," Lore said as he pulled Kendra into his arms, kissing her passionately.

Kendra was again swept up in emotion as Lore explored her mouth with his tongue. She had heard him say so many things that his flippant attitude had not surfaced for. Did he mean what he said? Was it more than just words to him? What had yesterday meant to him?

When he finally broke the kiss, Kendra decided to ask. Running her hands over his chest, she said, “I’m sure we can convince Data and Abella to join us again here tonight, if you’d like. Abella gave me a wonderful tongue-lashing and I owe her payment for that.” Kendra smiled at him suggestively.

“I don’t want to cause an imbalance in your friendship with Abella, but perhaps you can find a different way to repay her. I believe that since Data will have to be parted from the woman soon, we should allow them private time together. Fucking her was interesting but that was all. I think you need a shower, Kendra.” His tone made it clear he would brook no argument. He took off her clothes, stripped off his own and picked her up, carrying her to the shower.

The warm water streamed down her body, and Kendra felt herself come fully awake under the spray. The touch of Lore’s fingers moving in an oddly familiar way down her back heightened this state of awareness. Slowly she turned to face him, catching the intense look of concentration on his face. His eyes were riveted to the spot his fingers caressed.

Not allowing her movement to disrupt his detailed exploration of her body, Lore slowly moved his fingertips from her navel, traveling upwards. Something about the almost unreadable expression on his face caused Kendra to stand statue still, just watching him.

It took an eternity, but when his fingers touched the curve of her left breast, Kendra’s tenuous ability to remain still was lost. Desire had been filling her up and just this flooded her.

“Lore...” she moaned, bringing a hand up to touch his face. Her fingers traced his lips as his eyes finally locked with hers.

“Until we get back to the colony, Kendra, I refuse to share you with anyone. Is that clear?” Lore ordered her in a tone she had never heard before. She answered before she could stop herself.

“Yes, Lore,” she replied.

“I’ll wash you, then I want to make love, just once. I know you’re hungry, but we’re going to make love first.” The commanding tone prevailed, faded and then prevailed again as he spoke. All Kendra could bring herself to do was nod.

She almost expected his touch to be harsh after this statement, but he fooled her. He washed every inch of her body with exquisite care and tenderness. He massaged her scalp when he began to wash her long tresses. She was almost faint she was so overwhelmed by all the sensations.

When Lore lifted her out of the shower, it was like a fog lifted and Kendra almost cried out in dismay. Lore moved her quickly to the bed without even stopping to dry either of them. He impaled her with his rock hard length a moment later.

Kendra gasped as he entered her. Lore felt so good inside her, better than anyone she had ever been with. He seemed to have knowledge of her body even she had been unaware of. His touch, his kisses, his thrusts all seemed designed to bring her maximum pleasure. As Lore quickened his pace, Kendra's moans became more and more frequent. He claimed her mouth as much as he could between her outbursts of pleasure. Kendra's body was soon pushed to the brink as she grabbed at the bedding trying to find something to grip.

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! YES! YES!" she called out loudly as her orgasm pushed her over the precipice. Lore continued to pound into her causing her entire body to quiver with pleasure. His own moans were drowned out by the sounds of Kendra's cries.

"Oh Kendra, I l...aaaaaaaahhhhhh," he gasped as the waves of his climax shot into Kendra.

She grabbed his face, pulling his mouth to hers for a savage kiss as if pleading for him to continue. When their lips parted, Lore moved beside Kendra.

"It's time to eat. We have all day and all night to spend together," he whispered.

Lore stood up and held his hands out to Kendra. She took hold of his hands, trying desperately to pull him back to the bed.

"Kendra, breakfast first," he commanded. Kendra nodded, allowing Lore to pull her up from the bed. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her. "You need your strength. We have lots of time to be together."

Kendra tried to seduce Lore back to bed as they got dressed but he was having no part of it.

"Why couldn't we stay in bed and replicate something?" Kendra pouted.

"Because everyone is waiting for us," Lore said as he could see his father, Juliana, Data and Abella all sitting at a table, looking at menus. "Now, I want to see a smile on those sexy lips of yours."

Kendra sighed before putting on her best smile as they reached the table, wishing everyone a good morning. Her smile faded though, as she could see the obvious tension between Noonien and Juliana. She was becoming nervous. Kendra was not sure if the occasional glare Juliana threw in her direction was one of her usual glares or if she suspected something had happened between Kendra and Noonien.

Lore had noticed the glares too. His dislike for his father's wife was growing, but he had promised to keep it under control and he was going to keep that promise. All of this lead to a relatively quiet breakfast, except for the happy banter between Data and Abella.

Once breakfast was over, Data leaned over to Lore and whispered in his ear. Lore gave a nod and Data got up from the table, taking Abella’s hand as the two hurried off towards the beach that allowed nudity. Grinning after his brother, Lore got up too.

“What would you like to do on our final day here, Kendra?” Lore asked, looking down at her.

“Well, whatever we do, I think I want to change my shoes first.” She scooted back and lifted her left foot, rubbing her ankle. “These shoes are killing me.”

“Maybe you should take her to her room, Lore. We wouldn’t want anything to hurt Kendra, now would we?” Juliana said in a very unconvincing tone.

“No, I wouldn’t!” Lore answered, allowing some of his anger to show. He took Kendra’s hand and helped her to her feet.

“I want all of us to have dinner together tonight, I told Data before you and Kendra arrived. Meet us in the lobby at seven and we’ll go from there. We leave at ten tomorrow morning. See you later,” Noonien said before they left the table. Both agreed they would be there.

Once they were out of earshot, Lore virtually growled. “That woman is going to cause me to lose my temper one day.” He now had his arms wrapped around Kendra’s waist.

“She does have it in for me, doesn’t she?” Kendra said, squeezing him around his waist. “Forget about her for now, Lore. Let’s go back to the room and make love until you have me screaming for mercy.”

He looked over at her with a suspicious expression. “Your feet don’t hurt at all, do they?”

She grinned. “Nope, but I do have this very empty place that I need you to fill, because you know how to fill it so completely. I’m aching for you, Lore.” Her voice, filled with need, had an immediate affect on Lore. He picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, gave her ass a whack and then proceeded to carry her like this to her room.
