He watched her as she stared out the window, and something in him broke. She had said she was alone. What he had heard is that she was too scared to not be alone. He moved to her side, and with the tips of his fingers, he gently turned her face to him. He saw in her eyes in that moment the flash of unguarded emotion she actually felt for him, and that was all he needed.
He kissed her then.. startling them both.. his kiss started out gentle, giving her the chance to refuse him. Her kiss in return was rough, hot, needy, and it consumed him like fire. When the kiss broke and they were both slightly out of breath, he gently caressed her face in his hands, and said, “Damn it Kathryn, you’ve never been alone, I’ve been right here. You will never be alone again” As he kissed her forehead, Kathryn whispered, “What took you so long?” He chuckled, kissed her again, this time pulling her into his embrace, and then whispered into her ear “fear of rejection”
Gorgeous.
Love this so much! The image is just stunning as well. Thanks for sharing 🙂
[I think the criticism of Janeway being inconsistently written is overblown, especially when it doesn’t take into account that she had no backup from the Federation, no allies, no way to replace her crew, and just about zero vacation for seven years. She was forced to make decisions in circumstances that NONE of the other captains faced.]
