Mission: Where no one has gone before
Location: Jack's Quarters, Deck 2
1968 words - 3.9 OF Standard Post Measure

On:

Leading the way into his quarters, Jack only let go of Pearl's hand once the doors had closed, giving them a little privacy.

Jack's Quarters were rather sparsely furnished, the only exceptions to the standard starfleet layout were a mannequin dressed in his old Marine Corp dress uniform, a sheet draped over what looked like a stand alone blackboard standing against a wall and a model of a Galaxy class starship with a small plaque mounted on the side of the baseplate.

Turing to Pearl, Jack gave a smile, "well, what ya think? it's a little larger then i thought they would be"

Pearl had to lift the skirt up of her dress with her free hand, in order to make her way through the corridors. Pearl was feeling like she was floating, her feet barely touiching the floor, holding Jack's hand. When they stepped inside, Pearl was in awe. "This... this is so beautiful." she breathed out. "I've never seen something like this, just. Wow." Pearl looking at everything, then releasing his hand, she stepped forward to where his uniform was placed, looking at it closely. Gently touching the shoulders of it with a finger.

"It is beautiful." Pearl said almost reverently, turning towards Jack. She moved towards him then stopped suddenly as her foot got caught in the skirt of the dress, causing her to stumble slightly. "Ugh, this dress is pretty, but difficult to move in."

Quickly moving forward to catch her, Jack looked at Pearl with loving eyes, “well you know, I could help you get a little more comfortable if you want” he said as a slightly sly grin came to his face. For the most part he was just flirting, no harm in having a little fun, but he was prepared to take things further if that’s where they ended up tonight. “After all, I wouldn’t want to ruin that lovely gown by spilling some ice cream on it”

Both her eyes went wide and her mouth went into an 'O' shape, with Pearl shaking her head. "I don't want to get ice cream on this dress either. Its so pretty, I've not had anything like this. " she mentally thanked the ladies who insisted on getting her outfited from the skin side out. "I am wearing a long slip underneath the dress, the same color. Maybe..." Pearl feeling heat coming to her face, "Maybe you can er.. help me out of this? " scooping her hair away from her neck and turning her back towards Jack. Pearl's heart was beating so rapidly that she thought he could actually hear it.

Swallowing some nerves, Jack stepped up to the challenge and started to undo Pearls dress, all the while trying to think of what article of clothing he could offer her to cover up with if she started to feel uncomfortable. The last thing he wanted for her to feel was uncomfortable around him and if it took her wearing his jacket as a bib or even just a cover for herself, he was fine with that, “I can’t imagine how the ladies of these olden days dressed like this. It seems so complicated”

"Well thankfully I am not wearing all of the undergarments that those ladies wore." as he pulled the zipper down he'd see a silky yellow slip and beneath the slip were her other undergarments that were silken in nature and the same color of her dress, "And this has a zipper thankfully, as you can see how much easier it is to get this dress off of me." Pearl giving a chuckle. "Thankfully it was designed for me to take it off easier." once it was loosened enough, Pearl stepped out of it feeling much better. The slip gently caressed her curves and it moved around her ankles, as she moved to place the dress upon a chair.

Taking in the beauty standing before him, Jack had to keep himself from mentally drooling, “so you had it designed to be taken off easily huh? Well isn’t that interesting” he said as he took a step towards her and wrapped an arm around her waist, “so, how about that ice cream?”

A sudden catch in her breath feeling the warmth of Jack's arm around her waist, and the contact of his body. "Ice cream sounds lovely, and, Wendy was the one who recommended the dress having a zipper. She said it made more sense to have one, well just in case, I needed to.. remove it on my own?" Pearl answered, her cheeks warming at the nearness of Jack to her. Pearl slid her own arm around his waist, "Maybe even a banana split?" she chuckled.

Jack smiled, "well then, I'll have to send Ms. Wendy something special as thanks." he said, enjoying simply standing there in the arms of his love. leaning his head forward, Jack gently placed his forehead against Pearl's, "I want to just stay here forever."

Pearl closed her eyes, enjoying being in his arms, being close to Jack. "I would like that as well." she murmured softly, adjusting her head slightly to brush her lips across his. "I like this very much."

Feeling Pearl's lips brush against his, Jack lent in for a passionate kiss. holding it for a moment, Jack broke the kiss before looking into Pearl's eyes, "I'm glad you like it. so I guess our next choice is should we move to the couch or the bedroom?"

"I vote for the bedroom" her voice husky with the passion she was feeling. Pearl's eyes were filled with yearning. "I wouldn't mind spending the night with you." running her finger along Jack's chest.

Jack smiled, “getting a little attached to the fancy quarters huh?” He said playfully as he brought his hand up and ran his fingers through her hair. He wasn’t sure if he should say it out loud, but the girls had done a beautiful job with Pearl’s outfit, down to the fragrance one of them must have spritzed onto her. “Alright then Ms Bijuox, your wish is my command” he said as he slowly started to twirl the two of them around in a waltz, using each step to move them closer to his bedroom.

Pearl followed Jack's movements and when they ended up dancing into the bedroom, she smiled softly as the door closed behind them, she giving him a kiss...

::Next morning::

One eye opened, then the other, Pearl coming back into the waking world. At first she wasn't certain as to where she was. When her eyes focused they widened. Sitting slightly up and glancing around, Pearl saw the slip she wore last night, lying on the floor, along with her shoes. The warmth that Pearl felt she turned and smiled, seeing Jack there. She eased herself back down beneath the covers, snuggling up against him.

With his sleep a little disturbed by Pearl’s movement, Jack was about to roll over when she snuggled back into him, so instead he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close, enjoying the scent of her hair. “Hmm, now where exactly do you think you’re going?”

"I-well- looks like for the moment back in bed with you." Pearl giving a soft giggle. "Of which I don't mind, last night was wonderful." enjoying being wrapped up in his arms. "Though I will need to get to my quarters and get ready for work. I wasn't expecting this, so didn't bring a change of clothing with me." feeling her cheeks warm up.

“Just replicate another uniform. I don’t think anyone would mind” Jack said as he held her close to him. The last thing he wanted to do right now was let her get away, but even he had to get back to work eventually. “Or you could wear one of my spares.”

"I can replicate a uniform and will do so, soon enough." Pearl smiling. She placed a kiss upon his lips. "Where do we go from here? How often do I get to see you?" these questions tumbled out. She was worried that this was just a dream that she would be waking up from all too soon. "Is this a dream?"

Jack gave a small laugh, "this better not be a dream, I'd hate to have to wake up without you" he said, reaching a hand up to run through her hair, "as for where we go from here? I'm happy to go one day at a time for now. I know how you feel right now, believe me I feel the same, but I don't think we should rush into anything. how about you stay over here a couple of nights per week?"

Pearl gave a nod, "Okay that makes sense, just let me know which days you want to do that and we'll go from there." giving a happy smile. Easing in this new relationship made sense to Pearl. She was just happy that she would get some time with Jack, it was way more than what Pearl expected. "When would you like me to spend the night with you next?" leaning in to give Jack another kiss.

Returning Pearl's kiss, Jack used the moment to think, "well, how about Friday and Saturday nights?"

"Alright, that sounds good. I am willing for that." Pearl smiled once more. She couldn't believe how often she was smiling now. "I don't know what you did to me but, I can't seem to stop smiling." giving a sigh or contentment. "If it is okay with you, I can bring some clothing here to change into when I need to return to work. Just a small bag with necessities?"

Jack looked at Pearl with an expression of amusement, “no, you must only wear my clothes and never have a bodily function while in my quarters” he said with as much sarcasm as he could muster, “of course you can my love. To be fair, if you look in the draws you’d find most of them are empty anyway. All my civilian clothes are still packed away in one of those boxes” he said, motioning to a stack of moving boxes off in one corner of the room that were covered with a sheet and that was currently being used as a make shift table.

Pearl just laughed, "Funny Jack, very funny" at his comment about just wearing his clothing. "Though if you have a dress shirt I can steal that." giving a grin. "Okay weekends and I'll bring in a kit bag with some of my belongings. That will work out fine." leaning in for another kiss before she made to move from the bed. "I've not done this before, having plans for a weekend to be with someone, so this will be a new experience for me."

Quickly crawling across the bed, Jack wrapped his arms around Pearl’s waist and began to nuzzle at her neck, “oh don’t worry about it, we won’t be doing anything majorly exciting. Maybe we can watch a few holo-vids or something like that”

Pearl squealed slightly as his nuzzling at her neck tickled. She turned and planted a kiss upon him pushing Jack backwards. When she broke the kiss she said. "That sounds lovely, and you are lovely, wonderful. I feel so lucky in all of this." she whispered against his lips.

Falling back onto the bed, Jack gave Pearl a smile, "well i'm glad I make you feel comfortable."

Giving a laugh Pearl kissed Jack once more.
