Chapter Three Continued

Once they arrived, he ordered her to take off her clothes and show him this empty place. As he lay back on the bed, he enjoyed the view as Kendra seductively removed her dress, sliding it off her body until it fell to the floor. The second the last item dropped to the floor, leaving her nude, Lore moved and grabbed her. He threw her back on the bed and crushed her body beneath his own.

His kisses were hard and fierce at first but, after a moment, they became soft and tender. His hands gently caressed her sides. Kendra only knew that however Lore touched her, he made her alive with passion and desire. Between heartbeats, he took off his clothing and moved again with her. When he entered her, slow and easy, she moaned with anticipation.

Lore’s hands continued their slow dance up and down her body as he moved his penis in and out of her with equally deliberate movements. Kendra moans had turned to quick pants as the fire built up inside her. She reached for Lore’s face as a powerful need to kiss him overtook her. His kiss was still tender but filled with an all-consuming passion that pushed Kendra to new heights. Lore continued with the pace of his thrusts trying to draw Kendra out as long as possible as if he was torturing her with pleasure. Kendra’s back began to arch as she screamed out Lore’s name. She was so completely overcome with sensations she was sure she was going to pass out at any moment. Lore now quickened his thrusts bringing her over the edge again and again until he joined her with his own mighty climax. He kissed the tip of her nose as Kendra caught her breath, then he reclaimed her mouth for another sweet kiss. He moved beside her, gently sweeping the strands of hair that were covering her face away with his hand.

“What do you want to do now?” he asked teasingly. “That sounded like a cry for mercy to me.”

“Whatever you want, Lore,” she panted. “As long as it’s something we can do together.” She wrapped her arms around him tightly.

Lore gently pushed her chin up with one of his fingers so they were now staring into each other’s eyes. He was sure at this moment he could see to the depths of her soul as he looked into her striking gray eyes.

“You are so beautiful. You could have any man in the colony fall head over heels in love with you, yet you show no interest in them. You stay with Data and me. Why?” This was a question Lore had wanted to ask Kendra for some time but had not been able to.

“You’re exaggerating. I am not the type of woman men fall in love with, Lore. I’m just a sex toy, remember?” she whispered.

Lore’s expression became angry. “Do you think of Data or me as a sex toy?” he asked, drawing up sharply from her.

“No, of course not,” she defended, sitting up as well.

“Is that how the human men have treated you before, Kendra? As a toy and nothing more?”

Kendra lowered her head. “Yes. I’m not exactly the woman you bring home to mother.”

Lore lifted her chin and looked into her eyes fiercely. “I would not bring any woman home to my mother because I don’t care for my mother. We have joked about you being Data’s and my sex toy in the past, I’m not going to do that anymore, Kendra. We will all stop saying that.”

“All?” she questioned.

“Yes, you as well. You’re not a toy. Insensitive humans taught you to believe that and now an android is going to unteach you.” Lore moved his hand from her chin and caressed her cheek. “I’m here to spend time with you. All of you.” He ran a hand down her body. “This is just the shell, the casing. I want all of you.” He took her hand and brought it to his penis. “Is this all you want from me?”

“No,” she insisted, looking hurt.

“We’re not toys, Kendra. I will never again treat you like a toy. I swear it.”

The fire in his eyes as he spoke to her was almost frightening to Kendra. So much had happened on this trip and she was not sure she could keep up with the pace. In a way, she was disappointed that her and Treena’s plans for a second try at getting away had fallen through. Two of Treena’s fellow workers had taken ill, so everyone else, including Treena, had been forced to pick up the slack. It would have been good for Kendra to get away with just a girlfriend and be able to talk about all the men in her life.

Kendra brought a hand up to trace Lore’s lips. Her head was spinning, but she knew one thing, Lore was trying. He was trying very hard to take care of her and make her happy. How ironic that he spoke so often about Data’s growing up and here Kendra felt as though she was a part of a growth spurt of Lore’s. He was learning to think of others and not just himself. Data, Noonien and now her. Kendra was flattered to be in such good company.

“Thank you, Lore,” she whispered, unable to gather the breath needed to speak louder. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

Lore laid back down and pulled her into his arms. “I want you to tell me about how this started, this crap about you being no more than a toy. Tell me, Kendra. I want to know.”

His request stunned her, but slowly, Kendra’s tongue loosened and the story of the past men in her life just came flowing out of her. She talked so long and about such painful things that she cried herself to sleep in Lore’s strong arms. He let her sleep, holding her and whispering in her ear words of comfort and caring until it was time to get ready for dinner.

It was 1800 when Lore woke Kendra.

“I must look horrible,” Kendra said as she wiped her eyes.

“You always look beautiful.” Lore leaned down to kiss Kendra’s forehead.

“Thank you for getting me to talk and for listening. I had so much pain bottled up-” she started to say but the tears had started again.

“I promise you, Kendra, I will never hurt you,” he whispered as he wiped the tears away.

“This isn’t exactly how I had hoped to spend our last day on Risa,” she sighed.

“We spent the day together. I didn’t care what we did today as long as we spent it together.” Lore climbed from the bed, holding out his hand to Kendra. She smiled as he helped her up. “Now let’s see what you have in this closet that you can wear for dinner tonight.” Lore looked at the different dresses hanging up before he stopped, smirked and brought out a strapless black dress that was so short it would barely cover Kendra’s sexy ass.

“I take it you want me to wear that tonight?” Kendra grinned.

“I think it will have the desired effect I’m looking for,” Lore nodded.

“Okay, so exactly what effect are you looking for?” she asked.

“I want to drive Juliana crazy,” he laughed.

“Lore, that’s horrible,” she cried out. Lore was starting to believe he had gone too far when she laughed and added, “I love it.”

He wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her closer, his lips pressing hard against hers.

“If we don’t stop we won’t make dinner,” Kendra reminded him. Lore handed the dress to Kendra, kissing her gently as he did.

“I better go change. I’ll be right back,” Lore dressed quickly and headed for his room. Kendra was dressed and had finished her makeup when he returned. She was standing in front of a mirror, brushing her hair when Lore took the brush from her so he could finish. He had enjoyed washing her hair earlier and found the act of brushing her hair to be surprisingly soothing. Before they left, Kendra kissed Lore gently.

“You look amazing,” Kendra smiled. “So handsome and sexy. There are going to be so many women who will be jealous of me tonight.”

“Kendra, it’s the men who are going to be jealous of me. You are incredible.”

It was shortly before 1900 when they left Kendra’s room and made their way to the lobby. Data and Abella were already waiting when they arrived.

“I love that dress, Kendra,” Abella exclaimed as soon as she saw her friend. Before Kendra could respond they heard a gasp coming from behind them. It was Juliana’s reaction to seeing her dinner companions.

“Perfect,” Lore whispered to Kendra. 

Kendra shook her head at Lore, but still gave him an amused grin. The party made their way to the place where they had gone the first night and enjoyed dinner, but this time Juliana could not be convinced to have any drink she did not recognize the name of.

Noonien was trying very hard to keep the conversation going around the table. Considering the activities everyone had been participating in for the last few days, it was almost impossible to talk about what anyone had done lately without causing Juliana to threaten to leave the table. Noonien had to talk her back down into her seat three times during the evening and everyone could see how wearing it was becoming on him, so they all tried harder. But it still was not easy.

Finally, Lore suggested they move to the area where the dancing was going on. The unmarried ladies found this idea very appealing, but Juliana did not seem pleased.

“I am not moving around like some whore to noise that sounds like a call for animals to mate, Noonien!” she told her husband, once again becoming very agitated and, this time, also insulting.

“Juliana, that’s enough! I will not have you ruining our last day of vacation. If you insist on behaving this way, go back to the room.” Noonien’s tone was more forceful than anyone around the table had ever heard before.

Tossing her nose in the air, Juliana told him she thought that was a fine idea. She turned to leave, but had expected him to follow her. When she saw he was not moving, she turned back. “Aren’t you coming with me?”

“No, I intend to enjoy my last few hours of vacation - with or without you.” Noonien did not even meet her eyes as he said this, and that almost enraged Juliana. She stormed off, absolutely furious.

Everyone was quiet for a few moments before Abella got up from the table and came over to him, giving him a friendly and consoling hug. “I’m sorry you and your wife are fighting, Dr. Soong. Do you want to dance?”

Noonien smiled appreciatively up at her. He patted her hand, but was about to refuse when he saw all the other faces around looking expectantly at him. He took a look at each of those faces - Lore, Data and Kendra. He had very strong feelings for all of them. They had been trying very hard this evening. He would not let their efforts go unnoticed. Finally coming to a decision, Noonien got to his feet.

“Yes, lovely lady. If my son does not mind parting with your charming company for a time, then I would be honored. I can still shake it with the - well I can still shake it, anyway.” Everyone smiled and seemed to relax at this statement.

The evening proceeded without a hitch once the only thorn had been removed. But what no one knew was the thorn returned to observe the movements of that brazen hussy. Juliana had the feeling that as soon as Kendra thought she was gone, she would try to get her evil hooks into her easily corrupted husband.

She had been right. Only moments after Juliana returned to the scene, Kendra took Noonien’s hand and lead him to the dance floor. The evil harlot pressed her almost unclothed body against Noonien in a way that caused Juliana to see red. It was all she could do to not race from her hiding place and slap the hussy right across the face.

But Juliana restrained herself and instead made a plan. “There are laws in this universe, Kendra. You reap what you sow. Very soon, very soon you will reap.”

 Juliana spied on the group for an hour before going to her room. She had seen enough, more than enough to confirm in her mind what she had to do.

Shortly after Juliana had skulked off, Treena joined the remaining group at the table. She was finished working for the day and was looking to relax. Lore was amused with the way Treena was openly flirting with Data and his father but not with him. She even asked Kendra if it was okay to ask Lore to dance before inviting him to join her on the dance floor. All three men took turns dancing with each of the ladies during the course of the evening. It was during one of those turns Noonien had with Kendra that she had brought up the events of the evening.

“Noonie, I’m really sorry to have upset Juliana-” she started.

“You don’t need to apologize, Kendra. It’s not your fault. Hell, there are dozens of women here wearing outfits much more revealing than yours. I have always known Juliana is old fashioned but I guess it wasn’t until we came to Risa that I realized how big a stick-in-the-mud she can be,” he sighed.

“Will everything be okay when we get back to the colony? Maybe I should have stayed behind...”

“I’m glad you came. I had a wonderful time,” Noonien reassured her. Kendra knew he was speaking of their time together and smiled. “Besides, can you imagine what type of vacation it would have been without you. I would have been saddled with two moping sons and a spoilsport wife instead of just the spoilsport wife.” Kendra could not help but chuckle at his words. When the music ended, Noonien returned to the table alone as Data had come to dance with Kendra.

“Kendra, when we return to the colony, if you wish to end the sexual portion of our relationship I will understand,” Data smiled.

“Do you want it to end, Data?” Kendra asked.

“I know the relationship you and Lore have has grown to be much more than a sexual one. I do not-”

“Has Lore asked you to end your relationship with me?”

“No, he has not.”

“Data, that was very sweet of you to offer but, no, I don’t want to end our relationship. You’re very special to me.”

“But it is very different from what you feel for Lore, is it not?”

“To be honest, Data, I’m not sure what I feel. Lore is so difficult to figure out sometimes. He’ll say one thing but his actions will indicate the opposite. I don’t know what to think but I do know I don’t want anything to change between you and I until I have figured it out.”

Data hugged Kendra, kissing her lightly on the cheek before they returned to the table.

“Those two look like they’re up to something,” Kendra motioned to Abella and Treena. “You may be in for an enjoyable final night on Risa, Data.”

Kendra was right. When Data sat down at the table, Abella whispered in his ear, he nodded his head in agreement and soon he, Abella and Treena were leaving together. Noonien sighed to himself as he watched his younger son leaving with two gorgeous ladies while his older son fawned over Kendra.

“I’m going to call it an evening. You two have fun,” he smiled to Lore and Kendra before rising to leave. The pair wished him a good evening before Lore led Kendra back onto the dance floor. It was a slow, sultry song playing and Lore had pulled Kendra closer to him than Noonien thought possible. They were wrapped in each other’s arms moving to the music but completely oblivious to those around them. Noonien sighed again and left to join his wife in their room, not knowing what to expect when he arrived.

Noonien was relieved, in a way, that all he received was the cold shoulder. Since they had to leave in the morning, he packed up all he could before getting ready for bed and joining his wife. She was reading, but did not acknowledge him the whole time he packed nor did she react when he kissed her on the cheek and told her goodnight.

Data had an exciting evening keeping up with and for two very sexy women. He spent hours with his penis in some part of one of them while he was sucking, licking, kissing and/or fondling some part of the other. He was even told he could touch and fondle them when they slept, so Data enjoyed his entire last night on Risa.

Lore and Kendra took a long walk along the beach, splashed each other, rolled and kissed in the sand and made love once there before returning to her room for a shower to wash off the sand. They fell into bed and, to Kendra’s surprise, Lore was again in the mood to talk. It seemed tonight was his turn to unburden his soul. He related to Kendra some of the things that had been said about him by the colonists. He talked of the women in his past who had pretended to care for him but, in fact, had only wanted sex and of the others who were upfront about only wanting to use him like some battery operated sex toy. His feelings were irrelevant to them.

Kendra felt as though she had shared in almost every moment of his time alive after that. While Lore had been a spectacle and a “thing” of interest, he was treated by most as one would treat a backward child or, even worse, a monster to be feared and mistrusted.

“When I first talked with your father, after I had arrive, he told me Data and you were not ‘things’ or ‘its’. You were his sons. I was skeptical at first too, but it took only moments for me to see how wrong I had been.” Kendra stroked Lore’s cheek. She knew he was not the kind to cry. He just got angry and bottled up the pain, but she still tried to tenderly kiss the pain away.

“You’re tired, Kendra,” he told her. “Sleep. I’ll hold you.”

“Let’s make love, Lore.”

He looked in her eyes and shook his head. “No. We made love once tonight. If you want, we can again in the morning before we leave. Right now you are going to sleep and I am going to hold you. I will not argue with you. You will do as I say. Please.”

Kendra lifted up too, but to kiss him. His eyes were filled with tenderness even after all his blustering and thundering. She knew this was his way of saying he just wanted to be held like she had wanted this afternoon.

She laid back in his arms, resting her head on his chest and held him tightly until she fell asleep. Lore clung to her, listening to her breath. 

The morning came much faster than Lore wanted. He dreaded going back to Omicron Theta. He had thought of staying on Risa but only if Kendra would stay with him. The thought that she would reject him overpowered this desire to stay. He would rather go back to that rock if it was the only way he could be with her. It was shortly after 0700 when Kendra woke up. He gently caressed her cheek as she smiled up at him.

“Hiya sexy.” Kendra leaned up to kiss him tenderly on the lips.

“Good morning,” Lore smiled before kissing her again.

“How are you feeling this morning? Are you okay?” she asked concerned.

“I’m more than okay. Every morning that you wake up in my arms is a good morning.”

Lore never ceased to amaze Kendra. She never knew what he would say next. Just when she thought she had almost figured him out, he would surprise her again.

“It’s going to be so difficult getting back to the routine of working in the lab,” she sighed. “This trip has been so special. It’s hard to believe so much could happen in such a short period of time. The wonderful memories of this trip will be with me forever.”

Lore kissed Kendra first tenderly and then with more passion. “What do you say we make one more wonderful memory?” he smirked as he moved on top of her. Her response was to reclaim his mouth with hers. They made love for the next two hours. Kendra was certain Lore was touching her very soul as he caressed her body. The emotions she felt when he was penetrating her were unlike anything she had ever felt. He kept taking her to new levels of pleasure that she had not known existed. When the time came for them to leave the bed Kendra had never wanted time to stand still as much as she did then.
