ON:
Harper had invited her new Captain to the gym. His interest in Aikido was nice and she wanted to show it off. She wore a tight fitting sports top, for comfort and ease of movement, having a lot of clothes on could always be a problem. Her hair was tied up into a long ponytail letting no feature hide from view. Lower half she had fitted shorts and no shoes.
She practised whilst she waited, calmly going through several poses and movements.
It was a few weeks since True had left and Jon was ready to move on with his life. What greeted him in the gym was certainly beyond his initial picturing her in a tank top.
Adjusting his own tank top he walked in. Eyes forward Jon his brain screamed dragging his eyes from her toned backside.
“Looking good Ensign,” he said with a smile.
“I’ll just warm up, shall I?”
Jon started his own stretches.
"Well at your age you don't want to pull anything, sir." Harper teased as she looked over.
She had only just looked up to see him and her eyes drifted before she chastised herself for gawking. Internally she was shouting about him being her CO, even if she did find him attractive.
Jon laughed inwardly but kept his face neutral, “Your concern about my well-being is touching Ensign but I shall let my old experienced hands speak for themselves.”
"Well I am here to look after your welfare, be a pretty crappy Security Chief if I didn't." She mused as she finished her warm up. "I'll let you finish..."
"I'll decide if your a crappy security chief and if I have to fire you," Jon said jokingly stretching his arms behind his back. "So far I have no concerns."
He swung both his arms several times, then nodded his head back and forth loosening his neck.
"Okay lets see what you can teach me," he said. "The floor is all yours Ensign."
"I think you can call me Harper here sir." she said with a smile. Then there was a moment, she inhaled deeply and closed her eyes. She got lost in her calm before opening her eyes with a sharp and clear headed intent.
"One of the things about Aikido is you must have a clear mental state so achieve your focus or goal. You must have control of all of your body and subdue your attacker." Harper said as she took a stance and gestured to Jonathan to come towards her.
"Okay Harper," Jon said. He gave nothing else away. "So get into communing with Goddess mode. Got it. And you must call me Jon."
"Ok, Jon." Harper said a little awkwardly. It felt a little weird, calling him Jon. He was her Captain and she was vastly outweighed in both rank and experience in Starfleet BUT he was the boss. For a moment her eyes drifted, examining him getting into 'Goddess mode' as he called it. "Goddess mode sounds like a better name for it."
"Well we Betaziods are all about goddesses you know," he found himself saying locking eyes with her.
"I know that now." she giggled a little. "I need you to come at me. Attack me."
Jon nodded. He had been on the receiving end of this before. Memories of a female instructor at the academy teaching him a very embarrassing yet valuable lesson flooded his mind. He started forward ....
Harper watched as Jon moved towards her. First it was at a gingerly pace, somewhat hesitant but she expected that as he most likely was judging how much force to use, or how hard to attack. As the approach length decreased he made a move and Harper shifted slightly to one side in a swift movement.
The momentum from Jon's forward thrust at her allowed her use her position to grab onto his clothing at the back and use her other hand into his stomach to cause him to bend slightly. This was key to using his weight and momentum so she could flip him straight onto his back with little effort.
Jon was quick enough to grab hold of her as she flipped him. Both fell to the floor, him on his back and her pressed intimately over his front. Luckily this situation hadn’t occurred with the academy instructor.
His head throbbed slightly from the collision with the floor and she was so close he could feel her heart beating quickly. In fact he could feel plenty.
As there eyes remained connected he could sense a mutual attraction which she was trying to keep under the surface and had been in all their interactions to date.
“Impressive,” he said not breaking eye contact. Then before she was expecting it flipped them over so they were reversed. It was a typical not to mention old high school wrestling move.
“I can use body weight to my advantage too.”
For once Harper was lost for words. Her breathing was quick, her heart rate erratic and body is overdrive. She liked it when a man tool charge and the Captain was most definitely doing so. It excited her in all the right, and wrong, ways.
As he had now flipped her onto her back, his larger frame above her, she could not take her eyes off him. She glanced from his eyes to his lips, back to his eyes again. She could tell he was enjoying this, she had a feeling he enjoyed the power.
Harper smiled and wrapped her arms around her and pulled him down on top of her. Then she wrapped her right leg around his left foot and moved her right arm over his left shoulder so Jon couldn't use that arm to stop what was to come. Harper swung her left leg and arms inside quick motion, using a thrust from her hips for help she rotation them both so she was back on top.
"I like to be on top too." She teased maybe a bit unprofessionally... "Body weight isn't everything."
Jon sat up proving both he had some impressive core muscles and that he could surprise her further. Suddenly they were nose to nose almost. "What else do you like Harper?" he challenged liking where this seemed to be going.
Harper had definitely not seen that coming at all. Now they were face to face with no room at all. 'His eyes... oh god his eyes.' ran through her head as she caught her breath at the back of her throat. She could tell he was playing with her, toying with her, hell he was teasing her badly.
For a moment she lost her senses as she sat on top of him due to his sitting up. She kissed him before pulling back shocked at what she had just done. A courtmartial would not be long in coming she couldn't help but thinking.
"Well this is an interesting way to subdue the enemy," Jon said after a moment pulling her back to him kissing her back. "But I like it," he whispered pulling back for air and catching the scent of her shampoo. "I couldn't authorise it for everyone though."
"No, sir. Definitely not a technique I use a lot." she said catching her breath a little as she stared into his eyes. She would have apologised for being out of line but given that he kissed her the second time around then she figured the attraction was mutual, Hell she'd noticed it in him the moment she met him. "I don't normally do this you know." she said with flushed cheeks on her slightly tanned white skin.
"I'm not like this either but given the current situation, how would you feel about getting out of here and exercising another way entirely. One with more of this kissing?" Jon said boldly.
Harper was not usually speechless but this had gotten a lot more serious than sparring with the CO and trying not to hurt each other. "Ehm yeah." She said with some more enthusiastic nodding that after she'd done she scolded herself for internally. She was acting like little schoolgirl when an older boy was interested that she'd had a crush on. "I can think of a few more things I can show you." She flirted.
