“And for my next trick…” Naomi announced enthusiastically. “…I’ll need the audience’s participation.”
Chakotay and Kathryn shared an amused smile. They were delighted with their after dinner entertainment: a private magic show in Kathryn’s quarters featuring Naomi Wildman and her assistant Flotter doll.
Naomi walked over to the couch where Kathryn and Chakotay sat. “I will need your hands please.” she guided Kathryn and Chakotay’s available hands next to each other and pulled out a pair of antiquated handcuffs with pizzazz. The pair chuckled while Naomi worked the handcuffs around each of their wrists.
“Looks like you’re stuck with me now Chakotay.” Kathryn teased before taking a sip of her cider.
“If I knew all it took were a pair of handcuffs…” A mischievous smile crossed Chakotay’s face, which he attempted to hide by sipping his cider.
“Magic handcuffs.” Naomi corrected and the command pair shared another chuckle. Naomi pulled a handkerchief from her magician coat and placed it on top of their joined hands. Giving the cuff around their hands a few taps with her wand, “Abracadabra!” Naomi pulled the handkerchief off. Her small face going from expressing pride to embarrassment. “Oops.” she squeaked and quickly placed the handkerchief back on. Naomi did a few panicked taps on the handcuffs, a little firmer this time, and removed the handkerchief. “Um…” she uttered a bit flustered, “I’ll be right back!” she blurted out before bolting out of the room.
“Naomi, wait!” Forgetting the handcuffs, Kathryn stood attempting to go after her before being jerked back by the solid weight still sitting on the couch, her cider spilling onto Chakotay’s lap right before Kathryn landed on top of it partially straddling him. They both tried to move at the same time only resulting in bumping into each other.
“Perhaps we should coordinate this.” Chakotay said, his voice thick with desire that he hoped she didn’t notice . He was trying not to focus on their precarious position or the strong urge to grasp her hips to still their innocent movements but he knew it was a losing battle. With Kathryn straddling him he guessed she probably FELT just how quickly he was losing the battle.
“Oh!” Came Neelix’s shocked and embarrassed voice. Kathryn turned her head around quickly to find Neelix at the door, Naomi’s face peeked out from behind Neelix’s leg, her eyes wide.
Could this get any worse? Kathryn thought.
“I’ll just..um…come back at a more convenient time.” Neelix said quickly shuffling out of the quarters, guiding Naomi out with him.
“It’s not what it looks like!” Chakotay called after him trying to lessen the damage but it was too late. Neelix was out of the room and once again he was alone with Kathryn.
-End Part 1-
Note: Well, I was going to have them figure out how to break loose and laugh about it but there’s no way that this wouldn’t end in smut. Yes, they can just phaser it off but where’s the fun in that? Part 2 is in the works.
