Synopsis: Late-night observations from Janeway and Kashyk.
By Kelly
I watch her in the starlight as she sleeps.
The sheet twines round her like a lover, concealing, revealing.
Her skin is pale; her breasts are full.
The fingers of one hand curl next to her face like a child's. She smells of sex.
She's lovely. In the starlight.
When she awakens, it will be different.
A whore in the morning disgusts me.
I watch him in the starlight as he sleeps.
He is dark against the white sheets.
Against me.
His arm rests across me. Strong. Warm. Possessive.
Male.
He smells of space and starships and sex.
He is compelling, a palpable presence. In the starlight.
Tomorrow, it will be different.
Tomorrow, he will be a shadow.
Tomorrow, I will have won.
