Would You Like To Dance

Posted on Tue Oct 11th, 2016 @ 2:15pm by Colonel S'er'in'e & Samanthia Akiashiro

Mission: Brave New World
Location: Warp-12

S'er'in'e had been thinking of late about the things that Samanthia and he do. Since they became a couple S'er'in'e had invested a great deal of his free time secretly reading about Human relationships. Considering he was mated to one he felt it best to study some about how they do things, what they like to do both in a social going out with friends for a meal to private dinners, walks and so on. One of the first things he took into study was the act of kissing, Samanthia often encouraged him to try different things, try things. She would of course tell him if she liked those things or not but he wanted to make the effort none the less for her.

One thing they had yet to do was dance. Caitian dancing was far different to the dancing he'd viewed during his studies and there were so many forms of dancing from slow and romantic to ball room dancing to waltz and tangos. Some of these things he doubted he could do given some of the movements he saw being performed but some he could. He'd been keeping these study moments quiet from Samanthia, for some reason he felt that perhaps she might mistake his studies as a sign she was unhappy with his Caitian side and with these studies he was trying to be more of what she was used to with a Human partner.

The music being played was slow and gentle, he saw people gentle sway side to side in the arms of others. "Would you..." A slight hesitation to this new area of relationships. "Like to dance?"

Samanthia looked at him from the view of Space as she was semi-lost in thought. She had just finished with the last of the books. VIP Guests all had departed and the band was still lingering for the diehards still dancing. She like the look S'er'in'e had going. Minus the cooking whites and hat to be replaced by a Nice Masculine Caitian Outfit. "I'd Love to," As she stood up, smoothing out her human cut Caitian style formal gown she wore for the Gala.

Offering his hand to her and leading her to the floor it came as no surprise room was made for them. S'er'in'e had another surprise in store. What seemed to be one belt he was wearing was in fact two, the larger for himself but the smaller one he fixed around Samanthia's waist thanks to the fixtures in place. He then undid one section of the belt to allow it to unfold from around her, in doing so nearly three times Samanthia was left with a thin piece of fabric just over an inch wide hanging down from the base of her spine. Once done S'er'in'e took the end of this with his own tail and once again stood in front of Samanthia. "May I?" Hoping he recalled and used the term correctly from the studies he'd done.

Samanthia was puzzled at first till she realized that she was given a faux tail. She smiled and curious at the same time at how this would come into play. It would be very interesting to see. She took his offered hand and went with him to the dance floor.

As the music began S'er'in'e stepped to his Mate and taking a gentle hold her on he began to move as he'd observed others do. A slow dance, romantic and sensual in its movements and S'er'in'e never broke eye contact with her. He was acutely aware about the issue of stepping on her feet which would normally prove to be a problem for most. S'er'in'e however was over Seven feet tall and broad of shoulder, the space between his feet wider than most and so gave Samanthia some freedom of movement without getting her foot mashed by over 500lbs of feline weight.

In a gentle twirl S'er'in'e sent Samanthia away from him, this is where the faux tail came into play as once it became taught he pulled her back to him with his own and into his arms. As the end of the song drew near, something he knew of having listened to it a few times to memorise key points he brought her close to him and leaned her back as the final notes played, far back but the hold firm and steady to the point where he hair ends fluttered atop the floor ever so lightly. S'er'in'e had complete hold over her, she would not fall, completely safe as he rested his head under hears, his muzzle under her chin.

That was merely the end of the first of three tunes he'd selected.

Samanthia held on tighter during the dip, which brought her closer to him. She rubbed the top of his muzzle with her chin. She was enjoying the closeness. She was impressed at the skill he presented during the dance. She had a feeling of the tail and what it was used for. She picked up on the cues after a few time of it being done.

"Would you like to rest?" He asked holding her close, the lights highlighting his much larger bulk to her slender frame, his towering height over hers. His whole world before him in his arms, everything that mattered, right there in front of him.

"Yeah.. but not here," Samanthia spoke, smiling up at him. Then the band ended their last set with the leader giving his departing apologies and good byes. She gave hand signals to the bartender and getting nods in return. "Shall we retire to our home?"

"As you wish." He smiled. "Please." His arm out allowing her to lead the way home. He was amazed that he'd not caused her harm by stepping on her toes considering his size but Samanthia seemed to enjoy the dancing and even though he was hesitant, it paid off in full.

She lead the way through the nighttime corridors of the Promenade. Only personnel about were the clean up crews and few business people. A few bars were lively, but even they were winding down. Stepping into the closest turbolift and giving their deck. "I had a wonderful time." She snuggled up against S'er'in'e for the ride to the Akiashiro Deck.

"As did I." S'er'in'e enjoyed seeing his Mate smile and brim with happiness. She didn't often speak of her parents but knew that seeing them brought soo much happiness to her life. It also gave him the chance to meet them and considering the slightly rocky start it all worked out for the best. When she snuggled up to him his arms went around her, his tail about her too and his head resting atop hers as he in the privacy of the lift, purred for her.

Quarters

Once in the Quarters, Samanthia, instead of her usual playfulness, let her cheerful facade drop as exhaustion hit her hard. She had been running hard at the Event, and then Spent at least several hours dancing with her Mate. She kicked off her shoes on her side of the bed and let clothes fall where they may. Her jewelry was placed neatly inside the bedside nightstand drawer to be dealt with later.

S'er'in'e could see the exhaustion and knew he contributed to it by the time dancing together. In an effort to make amends for her suffering he walked to the side cabinet and pulled out two twisting bottles clearly of Caitian design, one of his exceptionally large towels and laid it on the bed. He removed his jacket and hung it up on the hanger. "Please." Suggesting she lay down. He pulled the lids off bottles. "Caitian massage oils, warm, or cool?" He offered allowing her to smell each and to feel each of the oils on the tops of her hands to help her decide.

"None," She pulled the covers up once she was laying down on the bed as she wrinkled her nose at the soft scents of the oils. Before she enjoyed the soft scents, but tonight it didn't sit to well with her. "I'm ..." And she was out like a light. Sleeping contently and relaxed.
