"I hope you don't say this to every woman you allow to stay for a night."
"You are the first," he replied, turning slightly to get the now opened wine bottle. He felt her touch as she came over to him. He stopped mid-pour to acknowledge it. It was a soothing feeling. Sure, he had a couple of dates, a failed short relationship and a one night stand but this......felt different...genuine. He finished filling her glass before filling his.
He stood momentarily, looking her over, up and down, as she held her wine.
"I was raised a southern gentleman," he explained softly. "As much as my father and I disagreed on things, he taught me to treat a lady with respect and Mom made sure just before she died that I would swear to her to keep that value. She's smiling now."
He put his still full glass down and took her hand, the one that she touched him with and raised it to his lips. He kissed the top of it. He kept it in his left while he used his right to take his glass. He raised it in a toast and still couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"To you...."
Enjoying the slight kiss Alessa closed her eyes for moment. A deep feeling went through her. She had tingling feeling in her whole body while watching into the eyes of John. She seriously felt special and treated as never before from a man. In fact it was already from the very first day that Alessa was occupied by John's charme and gentlemens behavior. "Yes, your mum is smiling. She raised a wonderful man." At that moment Alessa ignored the toast and shortened the distance between them. Feeling the warm heat of John's body she slowly caressed his cheek with her hand. "To you... John."

"Yes, your mum is smiling. She raised a wonderful man."
This was a bit of a sore spot for Doc. He seldom ever spoke of his mother as she died when he was fourteen. He credited her for his abilities as a pianist and his gentleman's approach even if he had his father's temper. He never faulted her for passing him the Consumption that took her life and plagued him for years. He loved her too much....even now.
Alessa reminded him somewhat of his mother. She was gentle....caring....and had a soft way about her. It was something he had been missing for too long. When she put her hand on his cheek, he closed his eyes for a moment to enjoy the moment. He had already danced with her, he could see her beauty as she was and now her body was close to his. Her warmth was refreshing.
Re-opening his eyes, he gently grasped the hand that touched his cheek and gently set his glass down while his eyes became fixated on hers. He felt something strong and could no longer hold himself back. His other hand now free of his drink, it went around her back and gently drew her to him. Leaning over, he gently kissed her lips. An easy kiss at first, enough to taste them. He could feel his heart in his chest. He again leaned forward and kissed her again only this time, with more meaning, holding her close as he did.
Sensuality, a single word described the feeling of Alessa. It just took a second from a surprised feeling to an entirely enjoying situation. Alessa was ready for it. Fallen into the kiss she tasted his sweet and soft lips. Slowly getting rid of her glass and placing it on a surface out of her eyes, she took a more offensive and dominant role. Alessa gently opened John's jacket, but suddenly pushing him away. The room felt filled with a strong heat. In an exotic movement with slowly swinging her hips Alessa looked into his eyes, moved her hands to her blouse and opened the first upper-buttons. "Not only a gentlemen, but also a good kisser, Doctor...Do you like what you see?" Without waiting on a reaction she rushed towards John and continued kissing kim, even wilder than before she pressed him backwards to the bed.

He could take no more. He could see her cleavage as she unbuttoned her shirt. It's as if he had uncaged an animal when she charged him. He wasted no time as his hands was finishing the job the she started as they headed for the bed. Half dressed, the fell on the bed, kissing and exploring each other. He kissed her, tasted the skin of her neck and chest and kissed her some more. Within a few minutes, there clothes were on the bedside floor.
Was it the wine? Loneliness? Passion for a beautiful and articulate woman or was it all of them together? At this point, it mattered little. She was making the pain of losing Midori go away. They were alone at the estate in the guest house and for the time, they were the only two people in Sirius.
He said nothing to her question as he didn't want to say the wrong thing. He was lavishing the moment as much as he was lavishing her body. With the fire crackling not far from them in the fireplace, the atmosphere was perfect. No longer was she an associate, she had become a lover.
She felt his loneliness in his passion as he held nothing back. A lady had come to work with him earlier that day, now, he had more, a woman was now with him.
Closing the airlock of her vessel, Alessa turned around, thinking about the man she left behind sleeping in the bed. The note she positioned for John on a board beside the bed showed a kiss of red lips and a small text. "I didn't want to wake you. I will call you this evening....the night was wounderful". The lustful images of the night still appeared as flashes in Alessa's mind. She seriously felt that John was much more than just a one-night-stand. Alessa noticed the strong happiness she felt in herself while setting the coordinates to the Antarctica that was in the orbit.

He awoke to find himself alone in the bed. When he rolled over, Alessa was gone.
"Maybe she's in the shower," he grumbled as he sat on the edge of the bed. Still naked from the night before, he wrapped himself in a blanket. That's when he found the note. "I didn't want to wake you. I will call you this evening....the night was wonderful"
At this he cracked a smile, something he rarely did in the morning. He sniffed the lipstick and for a moment, held the note close to his chest. For the first time in awhile, he felt good about himself. He wasn't being haunted by memories of Midori.
He returned to the main house where he showered and prepared for work. Surgery was on tap for the day. As he was dressing himself, he looked at the picture of him and Midori together.
"Dahlin','' he said in his drawl. "You would approve."
With an easy breakfast and some confidence, he reported to the surgical ward on Med Force One........smiling and chipper.
Everybody would had felt after dealing with such a day. Meetings over meetings and conversations over conversation, from business to research talks, but for some reason Alessa just smiled the whole day and was very friendly towards everyone she met. She decided to pick up a drink before taking the communicator, scrolling through the contacts she stopped at John's and pressed the call button. A little thrill went through her body, similar to a teenager whose in love. "Hello, ehhhm, honey, this is Alessa. Before anything else, can you visit me at the Consensus Multiplex? I want to show you something.

Doc had just come out of surgery. He was satisfied even if he was tired. Three surgeries, three lives saved, one of which would never know of the burns that covered 80 percent of their body. After cleaning up, he picked up his datapad and noticed the message from Alessa on it. He smiled before he even read it.
"Hello, ehhhm, honey, this is Alessa. Before anything else, can you visit me at the Consensus Multiplex? I want to show you something."
His smile grew. "Honey" he thought for a moment. He was enjoying it. He sent back a message.
"Hello, Dahlin'. I will be along as soon as possible. I was surgery heavy today. I will see you soon."
As he headed to his office, his assistant chief stopped him.
"I know that smile, John," he said smiling himself, "A new lady?"
"You say anything and I will harvest your lungs," he said smirking.
His assistant laughed, "I promise I won't say a thing. I'll hold things down here while you're out."
As Doc walked away, his assistant chief stopped him long enough to say, "John, it's good to see you smiling again."
Some weeks passsed into John and Alessa saw each other, nonetheless she had him in her mind constantly. With some issues occuring at the Consensus Multiplex both were quite busy with business and diplomacy. A changing situation within their organization to be honest, but Alessa saw a chance to combine business with some enjoyment and surprise him at planet Gran Canaria. She used to speak towards the Omicron Supply Industries and visit their headquarters planetside.
She was already entering the atmosphere, when she decided to send John a little notification. "Hello sweetheart, are you still at Gran Canaria?" She was aware that John might notice her arrival with this message, but she hoped he wouldn't figure it out. Looking inside her own heart Alessa couldn't await to see him again.
