THE NEEDS OF THE ONE…

"Excuse me B'Elanna, do you have a moment?" B'Elanna Torres looked up from her lunch at Ensign Samantha Wildman, as she stood nervously across the table holding her own lunch tray.

"Sure, Sam," B'Elanna replied cheerily. "Take a seat." As the blonde xenobiologist sat down, B'Elanna wondered what her friend wanted - Samantha Wildman wasn't normally prone to nerves, and her nervousness had aroused the engineer's concern and curiosity.

"So, what's on your mind Sam?" B'Elanna asked after a few moments, when her crewmate hadn't spoken. Ensign Wildman looked around the mess hall briefly before replying.

"I'd like to ask you a personal favour," Samantha began nervously, as she leaned across the table. "A very personal favour."

"Such as?" B'Elanna prompted, curiously. Ensign Wildman took another look around the room before replying.

"B'Elanna, you and I have been friends for a while now," Sam began quietly, after taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. "We're similar in some ways, but also quite different. We both have partners, but you and Tom can make love anytime you want to."

"Actually, Tom and I are going through a bit of a rough patch right now," B'Elanna told her friend quietly.

"B'Elanna, I'm so sorry," Sam said sympathetically, "but the fact is, even if you and Tom broke up, you could choose another lover. I'm married, and have a daughter - that limits my options. But despite our different situations, we both have needs, if you know what I mean."

"Are you coming on to me?" B'Elanna whispered, surprised, as she leaned forwards, closer to her companion.

"Oh, god no, no…that's not what I meant," Samantha said quickly, her face blushing red, and a hint of shock creeping into her voice. "I need your engineering and design skills, not your body."

"My engineering skills?" B'Elanna said, as a wave of disappointment washed over her, much to B'Elanna's surprise. "What are you on about, Ensign?"

"Did you know that Voyager's replicator library doesn't have any patterns for sex toys at all?" Samantha said quietly.

"No, I wasn't aware of that," B'Elanna said, a little surprised. "I thought Starfleet supplied all its ships with full pattern libraries."

"Well, somebody either didn't load them or deleted them or something," Samantha whispered desperately, "because I can't find them."

"I'll take your word for it," B'Elanna said, "but what do you want me to do about it?"

"Please, B'Elanna, I'm begging you, as one woman to another, get me a vibrator," Samantha said pleadingly. "It's been almost six years since I've had anything except my fingers between my legs, and I need something more."

"I'll see what I can do," B'Elanna promised, after a few moments consideration, "but if you want me to design something from scratch, it could take a couple of weeks."

"It doesn't matter," Samantha said gratefully, "Just knowing that things will soon change, will give me the strength to hang in there."

"Ok," B'Elanna said, as she stood up, "I'll get back to you when I've got something for you."

"Thank you B'Elanna," Samantha replied happily, "I'll be waiting."

* * *

B'Elanna Torres slumped back in her seat in Voyager's mess hall and closed her eyes, as she began to feel the lateness of the hour. She reached out her hand for her coffee cup and took a sip.

"Yuck," she said, as she sat up straight, coughing. "I hate cold coffee."  B'Elanna took another look at the padd in front of her and put it down on the table. "Tomorrow," she murmured before standing up and picking up her mug. B'Elanna moved across to the replicator and placed the used mug inside the machine's receptacle, as the doors to the dimly lit mess hall hissed open. B'Elanna looked up and saw Seven of Nine entering.

"Hello lieutenant, I didn't expect you to be up at this hour," Seven said, as she noticed B'Elanna by the replicator.

"I got lost in a design request," B'Elanna replied, as she disposed of the dirty mug.

"Did you find a solution?" Seven asked, almost conversationally.

"I've got the basic design sorted out," B'Elanna replied tiredly, "but I'm having a little trouble with the outward appearance."

"If I can be of any assistance…" Seven offered.

"Thanks, but I doubt you know much about sex toys," B'Elanna said without thinking.

"I don't," Seven replied evenly, "but I would be willing to learn."

"Excuse me?" B'Elanna said, surprised. "Did you say what I thought you said?"

"I said I was willing to help you design sex toys, lieutenant. If you heard anything else, I would suggest a visit to the doctor to get your hearing checked," Seven said neutrally.

"You never cease to amaze me, Seven," B'Elanna said, shaking her head in wonderment, as she headed back to the table where she left her padd. B'Elanna sat down and pushed the padd across the table towards where Seven stood. "Ok, take a look at that Seven, and tell me what you think." The ex-Borg reached over and picked up the padd, quickly reviewing the contents. Seven swiftly skimmed a short piece on vibrator and dildo design theory, before looking over B'Elanna's actual designs.

"Very impressive work," Seven said, as she lowered the padd and looked over at B'Elanna. "You have created some intriguing designs."

"Yes, but they lack a certain style and elegance," B'Elanna said, as she picked up the padd and showed Seven one particular design. "If you didn't know that was a sex toy, what would you think that was?"

"Perhaps a warp core reaction chamber," Seven replied honestly after a moment.

"Exactly, a warp core…" B'Elanna trailed off, as inspiration struck her. "What if we made this in a straight design with a rounded head, and had a small amount of plasma trapped in a transparent sleeve," B'Elanna continued excitedly. "We could use a small charge from the battery to excite the plasma, while the vibrator is on. It could look quite impressive."

"An intriguing concept," Seven stated as she thought about B'Elanna's idea. "It could work."

"Of course it will work," B'Elanna said enthusiastically, "and it should look spectacular too."  She started entering her design ideas into the padd and as she finished, B'Elanna began to yawn. "I need to get some sleep," she said, shaking her head tiredly. "Thanks, Seven, you've been a big help."

"It was my pleasure," Seven said, acknowledging B'Elanna's compliment. "If I can be of any further assistance, do not hesitate to ask."

"Thanks, but I think I can take it from here," B'Elanna said, as she got up and yawned again. "Goodnight, Seven, and thanks again."

The next morning, B'Elanna walked into the engineering lab and set about enhancing and replicating her design. Soon the workspace in front of her was strewn with small power cells, assorted pads and work tools, empty transparent sleeves, and a number of core vibrator unit models.

Several hours later, B'Elanna gazed down at the workbench in front of her in satisfaction. Her final prototype lay on the table, and B'Elanna just stared at it in delight. The unit was candle-shaped with a gently tapered and rounded end, about 8 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter, with a small light blue plastic base. Through the transparent sleeve, B'Elanna could make out the silvery-grey vibrator unit taking up most of the inside of the device, and she smiled in delight at the finalisation of all of her efforts. Picking up the prototype, B'Elanna made her way over to a nearby table, where a canister of refined plasma sat.

"Computer, transfer one cubic centimetre of plasma from the container on the desk into the sleeve of the vibrator unit," B'Elanna said, as she laid her prototype on the desk. The transporter hummed for a moment, before the plasma appeared in the prototype, gently obscuring the inner core of the vibrator. B'Elanna reached out and picked up the completed object.

"The only thing left to do is test it," B'Elanna said happily, as she ran her hands along the smooth length of the shaft. She gently twisted the base of the unit and the pale blue plasma brightened as it began to swirl around the inside of the vibrator. At the same time a gentle buzzing noise started to come from the unit. B'Elanna laughed with delight as the vibrator lived up to its name, and gently stimulated and tickled her fingers.

"Yes," B'Elanna thought to herself, happily, "I've created the first 'Warp Core' vibrator." As she walked back towards her workbench, B'Elanna turned the vibrator off and set it down on the table beside her, just admiring her design for a moment or two. Over the next hour or so, B'Elanna worked hard, assembling several more prototypes, in a variety of colours. When she was satisfied with her efforts, B'Elanna threw the finished vibrators into a small bag and headed off to the privacy of her quarters to test them properly.

The doors hissed shut behind her as she entered, and B'Elanna headed straight for the bedroom. She sat down on the bed and removed her uniform boots and socks eagerly. Quickly divesting herself of the rest of her clothes, B'Elanna jumped on the bed and lay back against the headboard, spreading her legs wide. She could feel her pussy moistening at the thought of what was to come.

B'Elanna reached into her bag of toys and pulled out a vibrator. Grasping her chosen vibrator, she twisted the base, turning it on, and energising the red-hued plasma within. B'Elanna brought it down close to her breasts, casting a red glow over her chest and slowly ran the buzzing device around her nipples, gently touching the skin and causing her very red buds to harden.

When both nipples were standing out from her chest like little pebbles, B'Elanna teasingly moved her attentions down her body towards her groin, running her fingers over her damping slit. She touched her clit gently with the vibrator as she closed her eyes, moaning softly with the sensations her body was starting to feel. B'Elanna began to move the tip down between her fleshy labial lips, causing her moans to get louder and her juices to flow faster.

B'Elanna began to push the tip of her vibrator into her folds, slowly fucking herself with it, as she enjoyed the feel of the sex toy inside her. Lost in her own little world, B'Elanna continued to patiently use the toy on both her clit and pussy, pushing herself closer to her orgasm. When it hit, B'Elanna screamed out in sheer pleasure, not caring who heard her. As she regained her breath and opened her eyes, B'Elanna just lay there for a few moments, relaxing in the afterglow of her spend. As she lay there, B'Elanna suddenly remembered about Sam, and the reason that she had created the vibrator in the first place. Pushing herself up from the bed, B'Elanna retrieved her commbadge from her clothes that lay haphazardly all over the floor. "Torres to Ensign Wildman."

"Wildman here. B'Elanna, have you had any luck yet?" Samantha's voice came across the comm-channel, bursting with anticipation.

"I've just finished testing the final prototype," B'Elanna responded, laughing at her crewmate's eagerness. "It passed with flying colours. You can have one whenever you like."

"Come over to my quarters tonight then," Sam said happily. "I'll get Neelix to look after Naomi tonight, and you can show me what you've come up with."

"I'll be there about 2100 hours," B'Elanna promised solemnly.

"Thank you, B'Elanna," Sam said gratefully. "I really appreciate what you've done

"Torres out."

*  *  *

Samantha Wildman lay back and breathed out slowly, letting all her tension slip away, as she relaxed into the warm water of her bath. After a few minutes of just soaking in her tub, she began to finally loosen up and relax, her mind drifting away to thoughts of her husband. As she thought of Greskrendtregk, Sam's fingers moved towards her pussy and gently Sam began to rub her clit. Slowly Sam explored her folds with her fingers, gradually bringing herself closer and closer to her orgasm. As it hit, Sam closed her eyes and moaned softly in release, her body tingling with the force of her climax.

As she came down from her high, Sam looked over at the chronometer on the bathroom basin and saw that B'Elanna was due in twenty minutes with her new vibrator. Sam reached out for the liquid soap and lazily began to wash herself. Fifteen minutes later Sam stood up and reached out for her towel. Quickly drying herself off, Sam swapped the towel for a beautiful floral silk robe that her mother had given her just before Voyager's mission to Deep Space Nine and the Badlands. The silk felt smooth and sensual against her bare skin, and Sam loved the feeling of wearing the robe.

Samantha walked out into the main living area of her quarters, and headed towards the bedroom to get dressed. As she crossed the room, the door chime sounded loud in the quiet room, and Sam's heart began to beat faster in anticipation of what was to come.

"Come in B'Elanna," Sam said, her eagerness and her nerves suddenly coming out in equal measures in her voice. The doors hissed open and the half-Klingon engineer entered, dressed in her duty uniform and carrying a small bag in her hands. Sam suddenly felt a little self-conscious, with only her thin silk robe between her and total nudity. B'Elanna was a friend, but Sam had only ever been dressed like this with those people she had taken as lovers - not that there were many of those.

"Can I see it?" Sam asked breathlessly, pushing her self-consciousness aside, as the doors hissed closed behind her guest. B'Elanna laughed at her friend's enthusiasm and reached into her bag. She pulled out the original blue prototype she had first put together and held it up.

"May I present, the 'Warp Core'," B'Elanna said dramatically, before turning the vibrator on. The unit immediately began to brighten, as the plasma started to swirl, and a low buzz started to emanate from it. "Multiple speeds, guaranteed to satisfy," B'Elanna continued, as Sam stared awe-struck at what her friend had created for her.

"It's beautiful," Sam breathed softly.

"And it does the job too," B'Elanna said smiling.

"How do you know?" Sam asked innocently, still wrapped up in the sex toy's plasma light show.

"Let's just say, I gave it a good workout earlier this afternoon," B'Elanna said, grinning wickedly at her friend.

"What?  Ohh…," Sam said, looking up blushing, as the meaning of B'Elanna's words sunk in.  "B'Elanna, how can I thank you enough for this," Sam said happily, as she threw her arms around her friend's neck and hugged her tightly. As they hugged, Sam could feel B'Elanna's commbadge press into her breast, making her nipple harden and her pussy tingle with desire. As the hugged ended, Sam spontaneously leaned forward and gently kissed her friend on the lips.

"I can feel you're naked under that robe," B'Elanna whispered hoarsely as the two women's kiss ended. "Don't start anything you can't finish. I've been testing vibrators all afternoon long, and I'm as horny as hell."

  "Perhaps we should test them out together then," Sam suggested, surprising herself with her words, and making B'Elanna smile in response.

"If you're sure - I don't want to damage your marriage over this," B'Elanna said, giving her friend one last chance to say no.

"I'm sure," Sam said confidently, before reaching out for B'Elanna's hand and leading her friend towards the bedroom. B'Elanna sat down on the corner of the bed and quickly removed her duty boots and socks. As she unzipped her duty jacket she looked up at Sam, still standing by the bed.

"Sam, if you want to test out our vibrators, you're going to have to be a lot more naked than that," B'Elanna said teasingly, as she tossed her jacket on the floor.

"I am aware of that," Sam said as she stepped closer to the bed. "I'm just a little nervous, that's all."

  "Don't worry," B'Elanna said reassuringly, "Everything will be all right, Samantha, I promise."  Sam nodded gratefully before she put her hands down and gently untied the belt that held her robe closed, and brushed it off her shoulders. As Sam's robe fell to the floor, B'Elanna got her first look at her friend's body, and smiled in delight. Sam's smooth skin and full, ripe breasts caught B'Elanna's eye immediately. The small pink nipples and beautifully rounded globes of her breasts were perfect and made B'Elanna tingle all over in anticipation.

B'Elanna couldn't help herself, and she reached out and pulled Samantha to her, guiding her mouth to Sam's breasts. She swirled her tongue around Sam's nipples as they began to harden, gently teasing the hard buds with her teeth. Sam moaned with delight as B'Elanna's mouth, tongue and teeth worked their magic on her sensitive nipples, and she just lost herself in the sensations she was feeling. All too soon though, it stopped and Sam groaned with frustration. She opened her eyes and looked down at B'Elanna.

"Don't stop," Samantha pleaded quietly.

"I don't want to," B'Elanna said softly, "but I have to. I want to explore all of your body tonight, not just one little, perfect bit."

"Then hurry up," Sam said urgently, as she stepped out of B'Elanna's arms and flopped down on the bed.

B'Elanna stood up and quickly removed her trousers, before pulling her grey duty tunic up over her head. As she cast the garment aside, B'Elanna glanced into a nearby mirror and just stared at her friend's naked reflection as she lay on the bed, thinking to herself how beautiful Sam looked. B'Elanna continued to stare for a moment, before shaking herself out of her reverie and quickly taking off her own bra and panties. She quickly retrieved the bag of vibrators from the living area where she'd had left them, before joining Sam on the bed.

As B'Elanna went to get the vibrators, Sam took the opportunity to take a good look at her friend's body. Sam gazed at B'Elanna's smooth olive skin, muscular shoulders, broad back and tight butt, and gave thanks that she had been given the opportunity to see such a sight. As B'Elanna walked back into the room, Sam was treated to another equally glorious sight - the Klingon woman's firm breasts and dark brown nipples gently bouncing with each step she took. Sam also drank in the sight of her friend's flat stomach and broad hips, neatly trimmed brown pubic hair, and smooth shapely legs and feet. All in all, a very attractive package, thought Sam.

"Pick a colour, any colour," B'Elanna said teasingly, as she jumped down beside Sam on the bed.

"I don't care," Sam said happily, "Surprise me."

  "Ok, Sam," B'Elanna said smiling up at her friend, as she pulled a vibrator out of the bag and put it down on the bed. "Time to have some fun."

"Yes please," Sam said excitedly, as she crawled up the bed, B'Elanna moving to one side to make room for Sam to lie back in the centre of the bed, before gently spreading Sam's legs and revealing the most perfect pussy B'Elanna had ever seen. Sam's snatch was a delicate pink colour and just starting to moisten, with droplets of pussy juice hiding in the delicate blonde pubic hairs. B'Elanna was teased by glimpses of Sam's fleshy pussy lips hiding among the strands, and could only stare in awe at the perfection of her friend's womanhood for several seconds.

"Is there something wrong?" Sam asked after a moment.

"Wrong? No, there's nothing wrong," B'Elanna said softly. "It's perfect."  As she finished speaking, B'Elanna leaned forward and gently kissed the inside of Sam's thigh. Samantha moaned softly at the touch of her friend's lips on her skin, and B'Elanna slowly kissed her way up towards Sam's wet sex.

Sam moaned softly as B'Elanna's warm mouth engulfed her pussy. B'Elanna teased and tormented her clit with her tongue and softly probed inside the blonde's sweet-tasting labial lips, drinking down the taste of Sam's uices. As B'Elanna worked, she could hear Sam's moaning become louder and more insistent. B'Elanna could also feel her own pussy becoming wet too.

Reluctantly B'Elanna gave Sam's quim one last kiss, before sitting up and picking up the blue vibrator she had picked out earlier. Sam looked up at her, passion and desire written all over her face, and B'Elanna smiled back, holding up the vibrator.

"Time to move on," B'Elanna said throatily as she twisted the base of the device, turning it on and starting the plasma inside swirling.

"Yes," Sam whispered hoarsely, as B'Elanna brought the buzzing rod closer and closer to her pussy. The first touch sent a jolt of sheer sexual pleasure right through Sam's body. As B'Elanna ran the vibrator over her folds, Sam closed her eyes and cried out with pure delight at the sensations she was receiving from this small device and its imaginative operator. B'Elanna teased Sam's pussy and clit, gently penetrating her pussy every so often, slowly driving her companion closer and closer to her orgasm. Suddenly B'Elanna turned the vibrator up to its highest setting and pushed it deep inside Sam's dripping quim.

Sam's eyes snapped open and she screamed out in release as her orgasm hit, jerking B'Elanna's hand off the vibrator, as she abruptly arched back off the bed. The sensations of her orgasm continued to roll around her body, making every nerve feel alive and vital, as the vibrator continued to work away inside her, the feelings only starting to dissipate as B'Elanna regained control of the device and slowly pulled it out of her very wet pussy.

"Thank you B'Elanna," Samantha gasped as she regained her breath, "That was…that was…indescribable."

"My pleasure," B'Elanna smiled as she crawled up the bed and kissed Sam on the lips. "Do you think our little toy passed the field test?"

"Oh, I think so," Sam laughed breathlessly. She reached out her hand and started idly brushing her fingertips over B'Elanna's shoulder as she stared at her lover's face.

"When does Naomi get back again?" B'Elanna asked, as she put her own hand on Sam's hip, caressing the soft, warm skin.

"Tomorrow morning," Sam replied smiling. "Why?"

  "No reason," B'Elanna said, as she leaned forward and kissed Sam again. "No reason at all…"
