434 Intermission: Rising on Risa
The planet Risa really was a spectacular place to have a vacation. An entire planet set aside as a resort was a monumentally ambitious business idea and also the best way for a race of sexually forward people to express themselves and to share their religion and philosophy with others.
After a bit of checking, I had discovered their planet was visited by about 1.3 billion people every year. That was a gigantic revenue stream and it made me wonder where they were spending it. Salaries? New attractions? Building more resort areas? It was an intriguing idea and I was fully consumed by it as I unpacked my suitcase.
It took Beverly wearing a skin-tight bathing suit before my mind snapped out of it to admire her like she deserved. She didn't blush as I ogled her, because that was what she intended and it had worked. She had my full attention and she took my hand and led me out of our room onto the patio deck. We looked out over the fantastic view and admired the glistening water and bleached sand.
“It's just not the same experience when I tried the Risa program on the holodeck.” Beverly commented and took a deep breath, then let it out.
I admired her breasts as she did that and she gave me a knowing look. “That's because whoever programmed it didn't understand what they were doing.”
“And you do.” Beverly said as a statement and not as a question.
“I do.” I said and stepped close to her. “Have I told you lately that you are a strikingly beautiful woman?”
Beverly put her arms around my neck and smiled warmly. “Just this morning when we woke up in your bed.”
“That was far too long ago.” I said and kissed her.
Beverly hummed happily and we made out for several minutes.
I broke the kiss and she pouted at me. “We have to meet Lwaxana in the lobby in fifteen minutes.”
Beverly's pout didn't lessen. “Why did you invite her? She's going to assume you're still available.”
I had to smile at that. “Oh? Did you already lay a claim on me, Doctor Captain Crusher?”
“Damn right I did.” Beverly said with authority and kissed me again. “No one else is allowed to put a hand on what's mine.”
I bowed my head slightly to her. “As my lady commands, so shall it be.”
Beverly smiled and let my neck go, then took my arm possessively. “Let's go meet your ex's mother and rub it in her face that she's too late.”
I chuckled and we entered the room again and headed for the door. “No, Deanna isn't my ex. According to my medical and birth records, I never dated Lwaxana's daughter, no matter what memories I might have of it.”
Beverly's eyes widened slightly, then her smile grew to a huge beaming one. “I'm the first and only woman you've been with after you were created here.”
I nodded as I felt the pride she had in herself about it. “That's a fact.”
“Not even Chappel?” Beverly asked, even though she knew the truth.
“Not even Chappel, despite her attempts to do so.” I told her and opened the door for us.
“Is it because of who she looks like or something else?” Beverly asked and stepped into the hallway, just because she was curious about it.
I knew she meant Chappel's extra bits when she asked that. “A bit of both, although if our first date hadn't worked out so well...”
Beverly laughed as I locked the room's door and she imagined Chappel doing 'things' to me. “On a similar note, she still won't change your room back to normal.”
I gave her a smirk as we walked down the hallway to the stairs. “As if you hate wearing such sexy silk things when you visit.”
Beverly smirked back at me and hugged my arm a little tighter to press her breast against it. “I don't want to lose the look on your face every time you see me wearing a harem outfit.”
I shook my head and led her down the stairs. “It doesn't really matter what you wear, I'm going to give you similar looks.”
“Really?” Beverly asked.
I saw the thought in her head of wearing the most unattractive outfit she could imagine. “As long as your face isn't covered, I'll like whatever you're wearing. If I can't tell its you, how can I admire you properly?”
That question earned me a blush as her cheeks flushed red. I couldn't resist the temptation and had to give her cheek a kiss. She gave me a look in return that promised we would have some fun times later.
We reached the bottom of the stairs and there was a small crowd. They were chatting about activities to do for the day and then they shouted in surprise when the two main doors of the lobby were flung open with a bang. An older woman with dark brown hair and auburn highlights, wearing a revealing two-piece bikini, strode into the lobby with a large man behind her carrying her luggage.
“Please, hold your applause. Yes, it's true, everyone. I'm finally here!” Lwaxana Troi declared for all to hear and I barely held in my laugh at the performance. It was over-the-top and flamboyant, which seemed to be exactly what she wanted, because everyone's eyes were on her.
I walked over to her with Beverly on my arm, whom had a death grip and was not letting my arm go anytime soon. Why? She knew by Lwaxana's outfit that the older woman was on the hunt and did not want to leave me vulnerable. As proof, Lwaxana's eyes locked onto where Beverly gripped my arm and narrowed her eyes briefly before she smiled widely. It did not reach her eyes and was obviously fake.
“I'm so glad you could make it, Ambassador Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed.” I said formally and bowed slightly, as did Beverly as she followed my lead. “Both I and my crew have been looking forward to meeting you for quite some time.”
Lwaxana enjoyed the looks of awe and admiration she garnered from the crowd, because someone besides herself had announced her properly and used her titles without making them sound superfluous.
“Once I received your invitation and figured out who you were, how could I refuse such a great opportunity to visit?” Lwaxana said and held a hand out to me.
I didn't need telepathy to know what she wanted and was glad Beverly had claimed my left arm and not my right. I took the offered hand and bent slightly to lightly kiss the woman's fingers. Beverly gave me a look and I winked at her, letting her know that was as far as I was going to go with another woman.
Lwaxana saw the exchange and let out a genuine laugh and not the fake one she usually used. “Mr. Homn, take our things to our suite on the top floor and unpack. I have some socializing to do.”
“Hmm.” Mr. Homn said and walked by us and carried all the luggage as if it weighted nothing.
“We were heading out to the meeting area I designated to my crew earlier.” I said and let her hand go to motion towards the patio doors off to the side. “Would you like to join us? I have a couple of crew members that can't wait to meet someone of your intelligence and beauty with such an illustrious career as a diplomat.”
Lwaxana beamed a smile at me, which was similar to the one Beverly gave me when she realized she was the only one to have me fully in this life. “I would be honored, Thomas.” She said and stepped close to claim my right arm in a similar manner as Beverly had my left, then Lwaxana gave the redhead a teasing look, because her bikini pressed against my arm had almost pushed her breast right out for all to see.
Since I knew Beverly didn't want me to acknowledge the blatant flirting, I led the two of them across the room and past the muttering crowd to the patio doors. A female attendant opened them and smiled indulgently at us as we passed. I nodded in thanks and we went out into the warmth that wasn't oppressive.
I brought the two of them to the spot and it was kind of out of the way and out of sight of most of the surroundings. We needed the privacy, because of what I had planned. “Lady Troi, allow me to introduce Wesley Crusher, my love's son, and his love, Lieutenant Chappel.”
Wesley and his Chappel stepped through the hedges and into sight. Lwaxana gasped and put a hand over her heart as she stared at a younger version of herself.
“Also, Doctor Chappel, Commander Chappel, Chief Engineer Chappel, Ensign Chappel, Nurse Chappel, Lieutenant Commander Chappel, Private First Class Chappel...” I continued on and on as dozens of Chappels came out of the various hedges around and revealed themselves.
Lwaxana's mouth dropped open as more and more versions of herself appeared. Her grip on my arm tightened and her thoughts were a mishmash of stark reality, disbelief, and wonder, because there was no way for me to know what she looked like when she was younger. Chappel was still an older woman; but, nowhere near Lwaxana's actual age.
“We've been wanting to meet you since Tom told us how much we looked like you.” Lieutenant Chappel said and stepped close with Wesley, whom looked about to faint, because his eyes kept dropping to Lwaxana's nearly exposed breast and the hope on his face was unmistakable. By his thoughts, he wanted to see it to compare them to his Chappel's.
His thoughts knocked Lwaxana out of her shock and she automatically fell right back into her chosen role as a mature seductress. She let go of my arm and her breast popped back inside her bikini, much to Wesley's disappointment, and the older woman smiled evilly.
Lwaxana stepped to Wesley's other side and hugged his arm like she had mine, giving him an up-close and direct view down her cleavage. It also let him see some of her hardened nipple and his face went to a bright red and he couldn't stop himself from getting hard.
“It's very nice to meet you again, Wesley.” Lwaxana almost purred and leaned in to whisper in his ear. “I'm sure we are going to get along very well.” She said and her breast actually did pop out of her top; but, only Wesley could see it in its entirety. “Would you like to go somewhere a little more... private?”
“God, yes!” Wesley said and put his arms around both Chappel and Lwaxana as he walked across the small couryard and through the hedges on that side.
“Commander Chappel, Doctor Chappel, perhaps you should supervise their first meeting?” I suggested and both Chappels gave me similar grins and quickly moved to follow.
“Did... did I just see...” Beverly looked from where they went and back to my face.
“It seems Wesley really does see himself as a younger and smarter Picard. He won't let this chance pass him by like Picard did.” I said and she looked surprised, then she blushed and looked away. “Hey, I'm not stupid, either.”
Beverly made a soft sound of pleasure as I hugged her from behind and nuzzled her earlobe.
“I'm fully yours, remember? You don't have to worry.” I whispered and kissed her neck.
“I... I know.” Beverly whispered back and hugged my arms that were hugging her. “I know, Tom. I really do.”
I held her for a moment, then brought her to a small pool where there were only a few guests. The Chappels returned to their spots to hide that there were so many of them that looked alike. We had left 50 of them on the ship to keep it running and they would switch out every other day with the ones on the planet to give them all a chance to experience Risa's cultural delights for themselves.
I laid Beverly down on a reclining lounge chair and I stood there to admire her, letting her see how much I adored her and how sexy I thought she was. Beverly's face went red at the look on my face and she waved for me to lay down on the chair next to her.
“I'm tempted to tell you to stop looking at me like that...” Beverly started to say.
“Yeah, that'll never happen.” I responded and gave her a serious look.
“...in public.” Beverly finished.
I thought about it and shrugged. “If we are in appropriate circumstances, I'll try to curtail my lust for you.” I said and reached over to run my fingertips up the outside of her thigh. The one piece had high hips and really showed off her sensuously long legs. “When you intentionally make yourself look sexy like this? I really can't help myself and you can't blame me for it.”
Beverly looked pleased as she rolled her eyes. I handed her a pair of sunglasses and she she put them on and laid back. I put on my own and laid back as well. The time for relaxing had started and we weren't going to miss a moment of it.

It hadn't taken long for Section 31 to follow the suspicious lawyer and judge that had released Starfleet information that should have remained hidden. Being in the public view was one thing, and they allowed it for the most part. Bringing attention to it in such a blatant manner? That was too much attention and undermined their efforts to keep certain ways of thinking from reaching the general population.
However, what the two agents hadn't expected was to find both the subject of the recent inquiry and the man slash child that had started it all, Beverly Crusher and Thomas Riker. That threw their current mission, to find out what they could from the lawyer, right out the window, because they had found a direct link between the two parties.
Had it been a conspiracy to bring everything to light and undermine the people's trust in Starfleet? It had seemed far fetched at first, only for the agents to catch the two couples at the same wading pool in a private area. What were the odds that on an entire resort planet that the four people would just so happen to end up in the same spot? It was really, really low.
“We have no choice but to scrub the assigned mission. We need to report back and then try to make contact with the primary asset.” The man whispered to his female partner for this mission.
“I'm still not sleeping with you as part of the cover while we wait the few days for a response from Wesker.” The female whispered back.
The man sighed. “Why aren't you interested? We're in the same line of work and...”
“Never mix business with pleasure.” The female answered. “I'm so good in bed, you'll get attached and it will ruin our working relationship.”
The man gave her a disbelieving look. “We took the same seduction courses.”
The female smiled. “Yes, we did. However, I passed with the highest marks ever.”
The man blinked his eyes at her. “How the hell did you do that?”
The female's smile changed to a knowing one. “I seduced the instructor, of course.”
The man looked shocked and then let out another sigh. “Of course you did.”
The female heard the respect in his voice and nodded. “Go ahead and send off the report that Lwaxana Troi is here as well, making this a full on conspiracy between several levels of members of Starfleet. I'll stay here and keep observing.”
The man nodded and gave her cheek a chaste kiss, which she allowed. She didn't watch him walk away, to his disappointment, because she was focused on the fine specimen of a man that Thomas Riker was. His public medical records hadn't said he was a fine hunk of a man and his current silk shorts left nothing to the imagination.
Crusher is a very lucky woman. She thought and licked her lips, because Beverly had just let her own hand copy Riker's move from earlier and ran her fingertips up his thigh. The difference being Riker's obvious physical reaction as he popped right up for her.
There were several soft moans from the women observing them, including her own, and she didn't feel embarrassed about it. Half of the attendants around the pool were rubbing themselves as enjoyed watching the couple.
Oh, what the hell. She thought and waved an attendant over and spread her legs as she moved her bikini bottoms aside.
The young woman looked overjoyed at the opportunity and knelt to dive right in there. The female agent let out a moan at the skill being used on her, then she opened her eyes and met Thomas Riker's across the way as he looked at her.
In a stroke of genius, the female agent gave him a quick salute and then used that hand to help the attendant really dig her tongue in deep and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the perks of her job.
