"In the Palm of Your Hand" copyright November 2001 by Cait N. Reginald Barclay straightened his uniform jacket as he looked in the mirror over the sink. Lt. Commander LaForge was expecting his report in exactly ... he glanced around the engineering lavatory for a chronometer ... aha! Seven minutes until he was due to give an analysis of the intermittent fluctuations in the plasma conversion sensor.
There, he was as neat as he could get. He thought about Robin's hands straightening his jacket just before he left that morning. Her long fingers with clear buffed nails raking down the center of his chest, mimicking her actions of just hours before when they'd been lying on sweat-soaked sheets. She had the day off and had assured him that she had nothing planned but to lounge around her quarters and wait for him. He'd left her at the door with a promise to hurry back as soon as he could. She'd teased him that morning by saying she had something special planned for the evening. He alternated between nervousness and excitement. By nature, he wasn't a to do the outrageous or try anything new and cutting edge, but being with Robin had "loosened him up" - at least that's what Counselor Troi had told him.
His stomach clenched now at the thought of Robin, her milky skin and wavy chestnut brown hair. He ran a finger around the collar of his uniform. That woman made him hotter than a three-balled tomcat.
"Reg, LaForge is ready," Ensign Pavlick said, sticking her head into the lavatory. She had been working with Reg on the fluctuation problem and was attending the morning meeting.
"Coming." He banished all thoughts of Robin and her luscious legs to a remote corner of his mind and headed for the main engineering room.
Three people waited for him there - Ensign Pavlick, Lt. Commander LaForge, and Lt. Butler. All eyes were on him.
"G ... good morning." He gave them a nervous smile and fumbled with the three data PADDs in his hands. Ensign Pavlick bit back a sigh, took the top PADD, and started to deliver the report.
Reg was left with two PADDs, which made them only slightly easier to handle. He activated the PADD in his left hand and the schematic for the plasma conversion sensor adjustments scrolled across the tiny screen. He keyed the PADD in his right and was greeted with his name at the top. He scrunched up his brow in confusion. A appeared underneath the writing and Reg's eyes widened as what it depicted registered on his brain. His eyes widened more as he quickly read the note above it.*
His index finger went up and ran along the inside of his collar. Suddenly his uniform was too tight, his clothes too binding. "Ahem," he cleared his throat. "I'm ... I'm afraid that I don't feel very well." He handed the PADD that contained the adjustments to Ensign Pavlick. "Ensign Pavlick is familiar with the adjustments needed." He pointed at the PADD. "And ... and the schematic is on there." He clutched the other PADD with a death grip.
Geordi drew him aside. "Reg, what's going on?"
"Nothing, nothing's going on? Why? Do you think something's going on?" Reg calmed his ragged breathing. No use sounding paranoid or hysterical. "I just don't feel very well, Geordi. I'll just go lie down for a bit and if I'm not feeling better later, I'll report to Dr. Crusher."
Geordi gave him a long look. "Sure, Reg, we can take it from here."
Once clear of Engineering, Reg breathed a heavy sigh of relief and leaned against the bulkhead. His body seemed to have a mind of its own, at least certain parts of it. He adjusted his uniform trousers. Now the trick was to get to Robin's quarters without anyone noticing his aroused state …
"Robin," he called out, stepping through the door to her quarters. He dropped the PADD on the table nearest the door and shrugged out of his uniform jacket. She wasn't in the living room. He heard humming and turned toward the bedroom.
She was sitting on the bed, gloriously nude, hands behind her back, a wicked grin on her cherry-red lips. Just like in the that had appeared on his PADD. "Hello, Reg," she said, her voice a whiskey whisper. "You're certainly home earlier than expected."
He grinned at her, the shy engineering officer persona slipping away to be replaced by the more self-sure lover/confidant/friend that he was when he was with Robin. He slipped out of his shirt. "I found this note and on one of my PADDs ..."
"Oh."
"Uh huh," he stepped closer. "That was part of the surprise you talked about his morning, wasn't it?"
"Uh huh."
"And you set up the photo yesterday and then keyed it into my PADD this morning while I was in the shower?"
"Uh huh."
His grin got bigger. He unfastened his trousers. "Aren't you going to help me with this?"
She stood up and turned around. Only then was he able to see that her hands were behind her back by force; the vintage handcuffs she had replicated held them snugly together. Her long hair tickled the middle of her back as she clasped her buttocks in her hands. "I have a small problem," she murmured, looking at him over her shoulder, a shameless grin tugging at her mouth. The position pushed her rounded out, her whole body on display for his hungry eyes.
"I can see," he said. He strode forward, turning her to face him and pushing against her shoulders. She fell onto the bed with a slight whoosh of air.
He picked up one slender foot. The of the polish matched her lips and stood out, an obscene splash of color against her creamy white skin. "Niiiice." He rubbed his face against her foot and lightly nibbled her big toe.
"Ooooooooooooh yes." She licked her lips and groaned in anticipation.
His eyes darkened with lust; with her leg raised he had a good view straight down. He could feel himself getting hard at the erotic sight of her long fingers squeezing and pulling the cheeks of her ass. "I think you're too tense, sweetheart. There's some kinks you need worked out," he drawled, resting her foot on his chest as he dropped his pants. THE END

* The note on the PADD read: I moan as you gently rub your fingers across the top of my right foot, moving towards my toes . . . each one you individually massage . . . with the palm of your hand you rub the sole of my foot and arriving at the heel, you gently squeeze a few times . . with your thumbs you now begin rubbing the bottom of my foot in circular patterns increasing the pressure . . . your fingers stroke the top of my foot . . .
