Release

_____________________________

Annika walked around in a daze until lunch. She didn't realize her
inattention until a colloeague brought it up.

"You know you've been distracted since your meeting with B'Elanna
this morning"

Annika turned and faced her friend "Oh Liz, I didn't realize it. Did
I miss anything important you think?" she couldn't manage to wipe
the goofy smile off her face.

"Just your sanity, though I don't think your missing it" Liz
replicated an equally unappetizing meal "And they wonder why we
produce a new type of engine every few months. They feed us this
slop and we rebel"

Annika chuckled at the normal antics of the Design Engineer.

"Liz, do you think Lanna is attractive?" Annika whispered as they
took their seats.

The Cafeteria resembled a Highschool Mess Hall. People we're
seperated by choice into their own sections of research.

"Yes I do. But I also think her Command Track girl-friend isn't
gonna give her up too easily" Liz looked down at the mass on her
plate. She didn't know if it was supposed to look and smell like it
did.

"Command Track? I met her. She seems.........nice" Annika frowned as
she remembered Kathryn Janeway. The woman had stared at her breasts
most of the night. But she was used to that.

"You've met her? Wow get on the bosses good side already?" Liz nudged
the tall blonde next to her. By comparison they were exact
opposites. Liz was small and dark, her nearly black hair and
naturally tanned skin made her attractive in a muted way. While
Annika's tall pale beauty made it apparent.

"Something like that" she smiled remembering the morning.

"Annika Hansen report to Main Engineering"

Both women looked up at the page.

"I wonder what that's about" Liz thought aloud.

"I guess I better find out" Annika rose leaving her untouched food
on the table before her.

Liz pusehd back her own tray "Yuck"

The doors to Main Engineering hissed open to a most welcomed sight.

B'Elanna stood with her hands on her narrow hips, regarding
something on the main screen with a smile.

"You wanted me ma'am" Annika blushed at her own slip.

"Annika do you know what this ship is?" Lanna asked without turning.

"It's the new Intrepid class vessel. You designed the engine and
most of the major circuitry yourself" Annika said after studying the
enlarged specs.

"Well she's been built. They want me to report to Utopia Planetia to
look her over and decide if they did her right" Lanna smiled at the
screen a moment longer "I want you to come with me"

"Me why?" Annika would follow the woman anywhere, but she was by
nature, curious.

"I got many a bug out of an Engine because of your equations Annika.
You atleast should see the finished product of some of your lifes
work" Lanna turned to face the woman "Or are you scared?"

"I'm not scared"

She was petrified.

She never thought her 'genius' as they called it, would lead to this.

The ship was amazing.

Lanna walked through it looking like a proud parent.

Annika followed behind looking at everything in amazement, hoping
her fear didn't show.

"So what do you think?" their guide asked.

He was a bear of a man with a tribal tattoo over one of his temples.
She thought he names was Chakotay or something.

"She's beautiful" Lanna breathed as she looked out of a viewport.

"That she is" Chakotay chimed looking at Annika.

"She meant the ship" Annika said noticing the man's unwanted gaze.

"I know" Chakotay turned his attention back to the Klingon "Built to
you specifications, with just a few minor deterents.

"That'll do" Lanna said moving to sit in the Captains chair "Whoever
flies this ship, is gonna love her as much as I do"

"One would hope" Chakotay took the First Officer's chair.

Annika took the helm.

"What's her name?" Lanna asked running her fingers gently over the
deactivated console.

"Voyager" Chakotay stood and straightened his pants "I'm sure you
ladies can find your way around now. I have a shipyard to run"

Lanna nodded distractedly, Annika didn't grace him with an answer.

"Your right to bring me here" Annika remarked after a long silence
ensued the annoying man's diparture.

"I thought you'd want to see something you helped build" Lanna
smiled at the woman.

Annika turned from the helm to face her, and stopped breathing.

/She's so beautiful/ Annika thought /Kathryn's a lucky woman/

Lanna rose slowly "I think we should get going. I wanna get back to
the lab for my brag time before everyone heads home"

Annika rose with a chuckle, and followed her off the bridge.
________________________________________

"Lanna" Annika breathed the name unsure if she wanted the woman to
answer her.

"Yeah" Lanna stopped and looked back.

"I.." Annika began and sighed "About this morning..."

"It shouldn't have happened" Lanna said turning and striding away.

"I meant what I said. It was never that intense before" Annika
raised voi voice.

Lanna stopped moving and turned to face the taller woman "It was a
mistake"

"It was a revelation" Annika moved towards her slowly.

"It was a new and rushed experience" Lanna tried and tried to
understand her earlier actions. It wasn't the first time she'd
desired one of her co-workers, but it was the first time she'd ever
acted on it. "It was wrong, it shouldn't have happened, and let's
just forget about it"

"No" Annika moved into Lanna's personal space "I don't want to
forget. I want to savor that memory"

"It was wrong" Lanna tried, she commanded her feet to back up but
they wouldn't.

"But it felt so 'right'" Annika challenged "Like this" she pressed
her lips onto the Klingons, forcing her bodily into a wall.

Lanna had no urge to fight back as she often did when Kathryn
dominated her, she let let it happen.

Annika was over-joyed when she realized that the woman was kissing
her back, submitting to what she wanted her to do.

They pulled away when breathing became an issue.

"We can't" Lanna panted.

Annika was suddenly angered, and turned Lanna so that she was facing
the wall-panel and pushed her hand against it. She then trapped the
Klingons arms behind her back, and pressed herself firmly against
her "Yes we can, and we will"

Lanna gasped as her arms were pulled almost forcefully, and pain
shot up her back.

Annika loosened her hold, and all feeling fled from the Klingons
chest.

"Now your going to listen to me" Annika whispered into Lanna's
ear "I'm going to touch you, and your going to tell me if you like
it"

"I'm not going to like it" Lanna groaned knowing that she would.

"We shall see" Annika ran her fingers firmly down Lanna's back "I
hear Klingons have a rather 'sensitive' area right about..." she
pressed down on a bundle of nerves in Lanna's lower back "here"

The Klingon jumped when an electic sensation buzzed through her body
and centered on the apex of ther thighs.

"I see my research was accurate" Annika smiled at the shortness of
Lanna's breath. She began to massage, and listened as the strong
confident woman before her whimpered "You 'do' like it admit it"

Lanna stubbornly shook her head.

Annika shrugged and moved down over the firm ass "I think you do
like it" she pressed her fingers between Lanna's legs, and cupped
her aching womanhood "I'm betting your so wet right now, you'll be
dripping through your pants in a matter of minutes"

Lanna remained stubbornly silent.

"Cat got your tongue?" Annika teased. She curled her fingers under
and drew her short nails over the seam of the pants "Well I've got
your cat" she purred into Lanna's ear, as she brought her fingers
together, firnly caressing the sensitive lips through the thin pants.

Lanna released a muffled groan and pressed down against her.

"Ah so you do want it?" Annika arranged Lanna's previously trapped
arms against the wall, and wrapped her free arm around the woman's
torso.

Lanna firmly shook her head 'no' even as she pressed against the
warm strong hand between her legs.

"I thought so" Annika cupped her fully and brought her hands up the
caress the high firm breasts through the equally thin blouse Lanna
had on.

"Please..." Lanna moaned raggedly "I need..."


"What do you need? Tell me and I'll do it for you" Annika said
softly as she nibbled her ear. She began tweaking the nipples in
earnest.

Lanna jumped, and ground herself firmly onto Annika's caressing
hand "More. Pinch me"

Annika was momentarily confused "I am"

"Down there" Lanna pushed her chin in the general direction of her
center.

"Oh okay" Annika smiled and did as she was told.

By some miracle, the lower lips parted and she found herself holding
Lanna's clit through her pants. It was swollen and elongated to the
point where it nearly surpassed the vaginal lips the hid it.

"You really 'are' enjoying this" Annika pressed her further into the
wall.

Lanna's arms were weakened ir plr pleasure and she allowed herself
to be pressed closer to the paneling.

Annika began to knead her clit, and breasts in earnest. She made
sure she was never pressing both down at the same time, effectively
creating a friction on both parts that kept Lanna distracted.

She didn't let on, how much doing this was turning her on as well.

The flesh between her fingers hardened suddenly and the Klingon
began to shudder uncontrollably. Her arms went slack, and Annika
released her breasts as they became firmly pressed into the wall.
Annika followed the tiny movements of Lanna's body as she shook
through her climax.

Lanna had gone completely slack, barely able to keep her legs, if
she weren't leaning against the wall she'd of fallen.

"That was nice wasn't it?" Annika purred into her ear as she once
again pulled Lanna's arms gently behind her back.

Lanna had a different idea. Once her hands were behind her, she
moved them together and double cupped the wet crotch of Annika's
pants. She dragged her nails across, much like the woman had done to
her.

Annika moaned and began a slow grind against the strong hand.

"I wasn't the only one enjoying that" Lanna muttered as she rubbed
her nails back and forth "I can smell you Annika. Musky and warm.
You wanted this the whole time"

Annika was too far gone for words. She uttered a few sounds and gave
up speaking entirely.

Lanna pressed her ass into her, and established a rhythm.

Annika began to thrust forward onto her fingers, coming in constant
contact with the anti force that Lanna created.

She shuddered her climaxed, moaning into Lanna's hair.

"And you said you wouldn't like it" she managed after resting for
long minutes.
_____________________________________________

The didn't speak on the shuttlecraft home.

Sitting across from each other yet unable to meet the other's eyes.

They we're the only passengers, considering it wasn't yet quitting
time, but way past breaks.

They unboarded and went their seperate ways into Ships Engineering.

"How was the ship?" Harry asked Lanna as soon as she came through
the door.

"She's a beaut Harry. I wonder who's gonna be lucky enough to fly
her" Lanna pasted on a fake smile that had worked in the past, and
finished the last two hours of her shift.

As she left to go home, she noticed Annika followed not far behind.
She didn't want to speak to the woman, having slipped and fooled
around with her twice in one day, she didn't trust herself for a
third. That and Kathryn would definitely smell sex on her if she did.

"You can't ignore me Lanna" Annika called as she rushed to catch up
with the brisk stride the Klingon was managing.

"I thought I was doing a good job of it too" Lanna muttered as the
woman met her. She crossed through the revolving door's of her
Apartment building. Annika, too her surprise, walked straight
through as well. This stunned her because, unless you lived there,
you needed to be buzzed in by a tenant.

Lanna quickly crossed to the lift hoping she could out stride her.

Damn those longer legs.

"You can't get away with this, you don't do this to people" Annika
tried.

Lanna exited the lift and nearly ran to her apartment. She heard
Annika's foot steps behind her, she turned as her own door slid open
to admit her.

"You can't just make love to someone, and just expect them not to
feel anything for it!" Annika yelled, grabbing her Klingon firmly.

They both heard a gasp and a cry behind them and turned to find not
only Tal Celes, but Kathryn Janeway waiting in the home behind them.
