Redemption
Part 3
Tom bolted to a sitting position, startled awake by the alarm going off.
"Computer, turn off the alarm." Tom barked hoarsely.
A wave of nausea flowed over Tom as he blinked his eyes a few times trying to orientate himself. *Oh yes, the joys of over indulging oneself.* Tom thought as he contemplated getting up and replicating a hangover remedy.
For the first time in weeks Tom did not have any nightmares, or any that he could remember anyway. *So this is what it takes to get a good few hours of sleep eh? Alcohol and drugs, perfect combination.* Tom thought with a groan while struggling out of the bed.
Replicating a hypo for his hangover Tom strolled back into the bedroom and laid back down on the bed, waiting for the magic cure to work, and praying his stomach would settle.
Throwing one arm over his eyes to block the light Tom's day came filtering back through memory. *Gods, two weeks in sickbay, how would he ever survive? And did I really throw myself at Chakotay like that? Well he invited me over for dinner tonight, so I couldn't have screwed up that bad."
When the nausea and headache finally faded to a tolerable level Tom got out of the bed again. He stumbled to the bathroom and started to splash cold water on his face. Looking into the mirror, Tom grimaced at his appearance. His face looked thinner than usual and there we noticeable bags under his eyes. *Gods, I look like shit. No wonder, * Tom thought. *I haven't eaten yet today.*
Tom went over to the replicator and ordered a vitamin shake. Taking a sip Tom shuddered at the taste, but thought it was all he could stomach at the moment.
Walking back to the bedroom cup in hand Tom tried to decide what to wear to dinner with the Commander, and prayed he would feel good enough to eat. The last thing he needed was Chakotay worrying that he was not eating enough. The alcohol would be bad enough to explain away, but �starving' himself is one thing Chakotay would not let lie.
Opening the dresser drawers Tom searched for something suitable to where. His hands brushed by something hard, it was the ceremonial dagger B'Elanna had given him during a Klingon ritual he attended with her. Tom picked it up and gazed at it, thinking back to simpler times before he screwed up. *I haven't talked to B'Elanna since I got out of the brig. Maybe I should wait till she comms me first.*
After he placed the dagger back in the drawer Tom picked a satiny blue shirt to wear. Tom loved the way the shirt brought out the deep blue colour of his eyes. *Maybe if I'm lucky all Chak will notice is my eye colour and not the bags under my eyes.* Tom thought with a sardonic grin. Finishing the outfit Tom chose a pair of black jeans, and loafers. Tom purposely left his comm badge sitting on the dresser.
Tom went back into the bathroom to brush his teeth, praying that the awful taste the shake left in his mouth would soon go away. Peering back into the mirror he decided he looked presentable.
"Well nothing to do but wait till 1800." Tom muttered to himself. And went to sit on the couch until it was time to leave.
*******************************************
Chakotay was racing around his quarters trying to get everything organized before Tom arrival. *Why did I agree to dinner so early. One hour is definitely not enough time to prepare properly.* Chakotay bitched to himself.
The room was presentable, but Chakotay had not yet dressed for his dinner guest. Racing into his bedroom Chakotay stared into his closet deciding what to wear. He decided on a loose brown and rust coloured tunic to wear over tight brown pants.
Pulling his cloths on Chakotay barked. "Computer time?"
`"The time is 1756" the computer replied.
"Shit!" Chakotay swore. *He's going to be here any moment.*
As that thought passed his mind the door chimed. *Make that here now.*
Chakotay threw his uniform in the fresher and all but ran to the door. "Come" Chakotay said.
The doors opened and Tom stepped in nervously fiddling with his hands. Chakotay had to physically keep from letting his jaw grow slack and drool.
Tom was wearing a blue shirt that had the first two buttons undone allowing a few stray curls of his reddish-blond chest hair to peek out. The blue of the shirt almost perfectly matched his eyes. And the black jeans he was wearing emphasized his long, lean legs.
Chakotay felt a jolt of desire tear through his system. *Spirits, he looks good enough to eat.*
Tom started to grow uncomfortable in the silence permeating the apartment. Nervously he looked anywhere but at Chakotay, fearing he would make a fool of himself by drooling. *God's the man is gorgeous.* The rust and brown colour of his tunic brought out the rich bronze colour of his skin. And the tight brown pants detailed strong muscular legs.
Chakotay's senses finally came back to him when he saw Tom looking nervously around the room. "I'm glad you could make it." was all Chakotay could think of to say to break the silence of the room.
"No problem." Tom replied. "So, what are we having for dinner?"
"Well I thought we could start out with Tomato soup." Chakotay grinned noticing Tom's face light up at the mention of his favourite food. "Then I was thinking of having a vegetarian lasagna, with some red wine."
"Sounds good." Tom replied.
Chakotay motioned for Tom to follow him. Pulling out the chair for Tom to sit on Chakotay noticed Tom's eye light up at the sight of the table.
"Cha, it's beautiful." Tom whispered.
There was a delicate white lace table cloth covering the table. The centre piece was a clear crystal bowl with water filled half way. Floating in the water were two of the most beautiful flowers Tom had ever seen in his life. They were a pure white colour in the centre ending with a faint pink blush on the tips of the petals. The flowers gave off a sweet scent that instantly made you relax. On either side of the bowl were two beautiful silver candle holders with simple spiral design. Burning in the holders were two pure white candles. There was white china on the table, the pattern on the rim of the plates a spiral design matching the candle sticks. To complete the look there was silver flatware and crystal wine goblets. Everything was either white, silver or crystal clear. The candle light making it all look luminescent.
Tom looked up at Chakotay with amazement. "You went through all this trouble for me?"
"Of course I did, your worth it." Chakotay reply before lifting Tom's hand to his lips for a quick tender kiss.
A faint blush started to creep up Tom's face. "Keep telling me that and I'll have to start believing it."
Chakotay reached up to stroke Tom's cheek. "Believe it."
Turning from Tom, Chakotay went to the wine chiller and produced a bottle of wine, pouring some for Tom and himself.
"How do you like you soup, chilled or hot?"Chakotay asked.
"Oh hot, definitely hot."
Chakotay brought Tom's soup over and sat down taking a mouthful of his own, watching with delight as Tom sighed dreamily after taking his first spoonful.
"Is it good?"
"The best." Tom replied happily.
"So Tom, how did your meeting with the Captain go?" Chakotay inquired.
Tom tensed briefly before replying. "It went fine."
"When will you be back on the bridge?"
"God's Big Man you know how to kill a good mood." Tom replied wearily. "You're the First Officer, don't you about my two weeks of hell to be had in sickbay?"
"Actually I asked the Captain not to be included in decisions on your punishment. I did not totally agree with her." Chakotay replied "I feel like I'm to personally involved."
"Oh, sorry" Tom replied looking down at his bowl.
"Don't be. Two weeks with the Holodoc eh? Is that why you had those drinks this morning? Grant you he's enough of a wit to make anyone start drinking, but wasn't that kind of early?"
"Yeah, sorry, but can we not discuss this now" Tom asked
"Only if you promise not to apologize all the time Tom."
"Sorry." Tom winced at the automatic reply. Then looked up at Chakotay grinning. "I mean ok."
"That's ok, I forgive you. Are you ready for the main course?"
"Yes , I'm famished."
Chakotay brought over the lasagna, it had a heavenly aroma.
Tom savoured every bite. "This is great Big Man. Is it your recipe?"
"Actually, it's my mothers. She's the best cook in the Alpha Quadrant"
"I have to agree."
"So what's for dessert Cha?" Tom asked with an deceptively innocent look.
"Besides innuendo? I thought we could have Devil's Food Cake, with lots of whip cream."
Tom laughed and raised his eyebrows. "Oh, I do like cream."
"Your so bad Tom"
"Yeah but you like it Big Man"
After dessert Chakotay lead Tom to the couch. All Chakotay really wanted to do was to talk to Tom about his experiences in the brig, and ask if he was feeling better. But Tom had other things in mind.
Chakotay sat down on the couch first then was surprised to feel Tom come down on top of him straddling his lap. "So what else is for dessert?" Tom all but purred.
Tom leaned down and captured Chakotay's mouth with his own, giving him a deep kiss.
Chakotay moaned and started to trace Tom's chest with his hands, then slowly started to unbutton Tom's shirt. Dipping his hands inside Chakotay explored Tom chest. He ran his fingers through the curls on his chest and found a nipple, rubbing his thumb gently over it causing Tom to moan. Chakotay broke away from the kiss and started to trace Tom's jaw line with his mouth. Dipping even further down he fastened his mouth on the harden bud and swirled his tongue over it.
Tom bent his head back in ecstasy, exposing his long neck, Chakotay couldn't refuse the offering. Bringing his head back up he began to nip lightly at the spot between the neck and shoulder, tracing a heated path up Tom's neck.
Tom looked back down when Chakotay broke contact with his skin, to see Chakotay looking at him with desire. Tom reached up and placed his hands on either side of his Chak's head and began to kiss him deeply again, both fighting for the right to enter each other's mouth. Chakotay let Tom win enjoying the feeling of Tom thrusting his tongue in his mouth.
Tom let go of the Commander's head and broke the kiss, he reached down to the hem of Chakotay's tunic and pulled it over the older man's head. Tom started to do some exploring of his own.
Chakotay felt Tom's soft caresses over his rib cage, sighing when Tom bent down and started to nibble on his neck. Slowly, torturously Tom bent his head to take a nipple in his mouth. Grinning when the Commander moaned deep in his throat. Switching to the other nipple Tom changed his position on the older man's lap. Both men groaned when their erections bumped together through the heavy fabric.
Chakotay growled and grabbed Tom around the hips. Picking him up he laid him on him back on the couch and covered his body with his own.
"Are you sure your ready for this?" Chakotay panted.
Tom grabbed one of the Commander's hands and placed it on the bulge in the front of his jeans. "Oh Gods yes I'm ready."
That was all the reply Chakotay needed. Chakotay had already decided that they were not going to go �All the way', but part of the way could be just as fun.
Chakotay settled most of his weight on Tom and leaned in for another kiss that left both of them breathless. Chakotay then started to trace a path with his lips and tongue all the way down Tom's body. Tom withered helplessly under Chakotay's assault. As the older man reached Tom's naval he started to unbutton Tom's pants, looking up at Tom to make sure this was ok with him. Tom looked back at him with an expression full of desire and lust. Chakotay raised his body from Tom's so he could slip the pants off the younger man. Chakotay also stripped the rest of his cloths away and laid back down on Tom, their erections gliding together. After one more quick kiss the Commander retraced the path down Tom's body, then skipped the place that was begging for attention and nibbled on a lean thigh.
Tom thought he was going to die. Just when he thought he could not take anymore the older man leaned down and licked the tip of Tom's cock. A jolt of electricity coursed through Tom's body making him gasp in pleasure. Chakotay began to swirl his tongue around the head of Tom's cock tasting the precum already there. Slowly the Commander began to take more of Tom into him and started a gentle sucking motion. Chakotay knew that Tom would not last long. After all he had not had sex in over a month. Tom raised his arms over his head and grasped the arm of the couch trying to raise his hips higher. Chakotay increase the suction on Tom and dipped a hand between his legs to gently play with the delicate sacs hanging there.
Stars started to appear around Tom's vision. "Oh Gods, oh Gods, Yes, Yes." Tom cried as the pleasure increased. Tom's hips started to undulate on their own. Tom could feel the pressure building, the pleasure had to escape somehow, or he was going to explode.
Chakotay felt Tom's cock start to twitch and Tom made a warning sound that he was about to come. Chakotay only increase the pressure and Tom came violently with a shout of "YES!" Chakotay siphoned all that Tom had to offer and gently released the younger man, licking him clean.
Tom shuddered in the after glow of his orgasm. He pulled Chakotay up to him and kissed him deeply only to taste himself on the older man's lips. "Thank you." Tom whispered.
Chakotay grinned and whipped the hair off Tom's sweaty forehead. "Your most welcome." he replied.
Tom could feel Chakotay's erection digging into his thigh. "Looks like you have a problem there Commander." Tom said as he reached down and grasped Chakotay's erection.
Chakotay began to thrust into Tom's grasp, he was so close to coming. Talented fingers started to massage up and down the Commander's length. Chakotay groaned as Tom recaptured his lips. Between the hot open mouth kisses and the increasing pressure Tom was placing on his dick Chakotay had no choice but to come with a deep moan. The Commander filled Tom's hand with his essence, shuddering at his release.
Tom brought one cream coated hand to his mouth and licked it. "I told you I liked cream." He said with a grin.
Chakotay looked down fondly at the man who gave him such pleasure. "Shower?" he asked.
"Ok." Tom replied.
Chakotay helped Tom to his feet and noticed the slight weave. "I think it's bed after the shower." Chakotay stated.
Tom looked like he wanted to argue, but decided against it.
After a quick shower Chakotay lead Tom to the bedroom. After Chakotay set the alarm he got in the bed with Tom and pulled Tom to him, to spoon behind him.
"I love you" Chakotay whispered.
But Tom was already asleep. Chakotay chuckled and shortly there after fell asleep himself.
