Chapter 1: It�s time to get to the heart of the matter

Summary: Story starts at Tyr deciding to do something about the sexual frustration he has felt from his awareness of Beka.

Part 1 The heart

:::::: The sexual tension had been building between Beka and Tyr for months.

It was uncomfortable and aggravatingly noticeable. Tyr walked through the corridor finishing his first shift of the new rotation cycle.

He thought, �Something has to be done about this before it gets in the way of my plans to avenge my family�s death. Every time I arrange passage to my fleet of ships, my attention strays to this.�

�This is the second time since I left Gerentex�s employ that I have changed the date of delivery for my ships. I am off my time table by at least a year now.�

�The pride will continue. If I am the only one left, the Kodiak contained within my loins will be sufficient.�

:::::: Drifting back in time, Tyr returns to his mother, Victoria�s side.

"Una, we must go now!" Tyr exclaimed. He heard the soldiers gaining on them.

"Honey, you must go. Tiu, without me." Victoria lovelingly stroked Tyr�s hand before she fell back.

Tyr looked at her. As he took a few steps back to recapture her hand, he heard a barely audible soldier�s voice say: "We have them. Don�t let the boy get away!"

Tyr gazed in his Mom�s eyes a long moment before he said, "I will pay them back. Until the last Drago falls to his knees. Your sacrifice will not go unpunished and unanswered.�

As the footfalls came ever closer, Tyr turned and fled.

He didn�t look back. He would not watch his mother�s end.

:::::: He found himself shaking at the powerful memory back on Andromeda. Leaving the sector of main engineering, he walked toward the crew quarters.

�Beka... I have to do something. A year is unacceptable. A promise made is a promise kept. Anything less and I let Una�s memory mean nothing.�

�Beka... Mmm... What about Beka?�

�We�re adults. We can come to an arrangement.�

�No footsies. No cloak and dagger! No more games.� Tyr resolutely decided the best strategy for Beka was to be as direct as possible.

Part 2 Reflection on First Dicey Encounter

Summary: Tyr thinks back to when he and Beka had their first dinner.

Tyr had watched her long enough to know that Beka would hide if given the opportunity. She seemed to direct her attention to whatever else was taking place thereby avoiding the issue.
Once he had invited Ms. Valentine to dinner. He had told her Nietzcheans did not associate with unmodified humans. The two were not on equal footing. A marriage. A relationship. Out of the question. In fact, it was simply impossible.

At first, he thought his direct statement had been a strategic mistake. A miscued moment taken as truth. He knew she thrived under challenges. He timed his unfolding the banner of Nietzchean superiority before his moment of revealing his values so he could gage Beka�s reaction.

Maybe it was harsh. Maybe not.

In much the same way Tyr had read the earth bullfighters would wave a red flag beneath a bull to get a feel for their adversary�s strengths and weaknesses. He intentionally baited Beka to see how adept she was in verbal sparring. Afterall, physicntimntimacy is laden with a series of pitched battles before the eventual victory or woeful defeat.

As a student of history, he remembered the conditions which set the stage for the Commonwealth Betrayal of the Nietzcheans to the Magog. Nietzcheans never forgot what the Commonwealth did to modified humans before the Fall of the Commonwealth. Nor would he.

He needed to protect himself from Beka if she possessed the same unmodified attitude as the Knights of Genetic Purity. These adversaries had killed Nietzcheans after the Fall by the millions.

�That first fateful encounter� Tyr remembered wisfully, he had registered, anger, disbelief and even protest in Beka�s face. He did not see her strive to fight. If she were Nietz, she would have claimed what she wanted outright: him.

This woman had a whole set of unfamiliar customs. All he could do is retreat and observe until he found the right moment to start anew.

As disappointed as he was that she did not pursue him to achieve what could have amounted to a great alliance, he was not surprised. He was displeased that his tactical move did not have the desired effect. He had lived among unmodifieds since he left Una all this time. Although he dwelled among them, he had never taken on any of their ways.

�Desired effect?� Tyr paused in the conveyer shaft above the Cargo Bay.

�Strange I�m seeking more out of an unmodified human?� Glancing below at the Eureka Maru, he contemplated further. He had not lied about unmodified humans in relation to Nietzcheans. This was a simple historical fact. He had not been straight forward about Kodiak views on unmodified humans.

He just smiled and continued to walk towards the lounge.

The sexual tension can be one reason to get up in the morning and report to my duty station, but why concentrate on it to the point that I can�t fulfill my purpose?

The right moment had yet to present itself. He�d have to make that moment happen for them both.

Part 3 The Encounter

Summary: Tyr makes Beka an offer.

"Andromeda, where is Valentine?"

The projected image of Andromeda, Meda, came to stand in front of Tyr. "Captain Valentine is in the lounge with Harper and Trance."

Meda flickered out. As Tyr paused outside of the Main Lounge, she reappeared wearing a perplexed expression.

"Tyr, I actually hesitate here with this question. Why don�t you just call me *Ship* like you normally do?"

"I have alternated in how I address you. When I am attempting to get your immediate attention, I call you Ship."

Tyr paused long enough for the full import of his words to sink into Meda�s facial configuration.

"You strive to be more like unaltered humans. Ship refers to the way you are built not your aspirations." Tyr flippantly waved his hand gesturing as if his meaning was obvious to Meda.

Meda�s facial projection registered shocked. The look was missed by Tyr in his haste to get to the lounge.

Meda cut the current conversation with Tyr short. She placed this item on their personal �to do� list. Her avatar, Rommie, needed to share this task with her. Since it was not a present and pressing concern, Rommie could keep Dylan as her number one personal objective.

::::::Lounge. Harper, Trance and Beka are gathered together.

Harper is spinning a tale of his chaotic path to being a master surfing artist. Trance is amused. Beka�s is politely listening. Her mind is elsewhere.

Tyr enters the room and immediately approaches Beka.

She turns all of her attention to the artful and often undetected fing ing Trance does with Harper. She notices Tyr, but she has no intention of letting him know her attention strays too often to him.

"Valentine, I need to speak to you. I would prefer if we spoke in private but if you are unwilling, I will express my thoughts in front of Trance and Harper."

Tyr looked from Trance and Harper to gage their reaction. When he first came aboard his mere approach would have sent Harper running to another room, but now Harper seemed firmly set with Tyr being his crewmate.

Annoyed, Beka looked into his eyes and said, "I can�t imagine what you might have to say that would require Harper and Trance being dismissed in a public area shared by all."

Tyr quietly examined the other two. Harper had stopped by his security duty station on command deck in their last overlapping rotation. Harper told Tyr, he had a proposition for Tyr.

�What is the nature of this proposition?� Tyr was unsure. Harper had to know from his past with the Drago-Kasov that a bargain placed the unmodifieds in a Nietzchean�s debt. A debt created an unbreakable alliance.

One did not ask a favor from a Nietzchean unless the Nietzchean wanted something they had. Or the seeker wanted to be in a Nietzchean�s permanent employ. �What would Harper have to exchange for his favor?�

Tyr mused, �It should be interesting to find out.�

Tyr studied Harper�s face to make sure he didn�t see any emotional investment in theirversversation. He idly thought Trance no longer was the purple monkey he once thought her to be. The transformation she had taken really made her quite alluring especially her wrapped hair so much like his own.

He focused his immediate attention on Beka. Her body language was slightly agitated. He detected her elevated breathing pattern. He wasn�t exactly sure but he might be sensing a heightened arousal. Watching her breasts, he noticed a change in her posture. Her breasts had jutted out the closer he came to the table.

He quickly got to the point.

"Beka, I wish to do something about the sexual tension that has developed between us as of late. I would continue to ignore it if it had not started to distract me from my central purpose in being on the Andromeda."

He waited for her response as he silently added �To avenge my pride. The Kodiak must replenish its numbers and teach Drago-Kastov what it means to be Nietzscheans.�

He watched her closely. Her eyes had dialated. Her cheeks flushed. Her back became straightened. He continued with his thoughts of the Drago-Kasov, �They have lost their way. I am here to bring them back. Picturing you prostrate beneath me is distracting at the very least.�

Beka sat in stunned disbelief. She could barely believe her ears.

Tyr thought again about his first approach to Beka. The unvarnished truth had debilitated her from expressing her interest. Perhaps, the audience might emboldened her actions. She seemed to be an exhibitionist by nature anyhow. He had watched her make extravagent statements to shock others including himself.

Her crew were the appropriate voyeurs for this occasion. They might be the catalyst to spark her declaration. Her desire to maintain or to rise in esteem for crew might give him the edge he needed. Directness plus audience might equate to the required unequivocal declaration of interest in him and no one else.

As she glanced over at Harper and Trance, they stopped their conversation about the places which were best suited to surfing and looked between Tyr and her.

Back again.

Harper�s jaw had slackened. His mouth formed an O shape.

Trance�s eyes crinkled at the corners. Her cheeks had taken on a ruddy color. Her mouth curled up at the corners.

Their facial expressions clearly asked the question, �What in known space was Tyr doing approaching Beka so directly?'

Perhaps the best question of all was the unacknowledged question: How would Beka take this gauntlet thrown down as a challenge?

Part 4 Set Point

Summary: Beka accepts and ups the ante.

Beka gazed at Tyr herself, "Let me get this right a Nietzschean is telling me without throwing any curve balls that he not only desires to sleep with me in an uncommitted fashion but also does not lose any points from his valuable reputation by sleeping with me?"

Tyr had begun to examine his finger nails while she was talking. �Why answer any part of that question? Really? What did he have to gain?�

This was not the declaration he needed. It was close. He needed the words though.

She hadn�t said no outright nor had she slapped him for being too forward. His nails needed manicuring if he was going to actually sex her. He didn�t want to snag one of her sensitive places with a ragged end.

�Sex was an honored part of Nietzscheans culture. His people did not have sex loosely or without thinking through the possible outcomes in advance.�

�He would not use her or belittle her.�

Tyr briefly looked up because he didn�t want her to believe he wasn�t listening or taking in a reasonable amount of concern for her feelings, but it really was a *yes* or *no* question. �Yes, you will sleep with me. No, you w.�
.�

Tyr mentally ped ted the matter, �Okay, I have to settle down and answer her outright or prolong her interest.�

He narrowed his eyes as he intently stared into her eyes. �How do women normally like these things? If it is romance she is looking for...well I�ve ruined that. I want her. I told her as much. Women want to be in control, right? I will leave it in her hands.� Tyr finally uttered his thoughts.

"Okay, Beka. I am assuming you want to continue this conversation by the question you just asked me. I will answer your questions, but you must answer mine. Agreed?"

Tyr ceased expressing his musings. He stilled any outward movements while waited. He stood stockstill making sure his contained power was evident in his pose.

He continue his silent thoughts, �It should be a win-win situation if I am able to get her to tell me more about Eureka Maru�s potential to be refitted for my fight to regain the Kodiak�s standing. I know from experience that Valentine will read 100 different things into my request to alleviate the sexual tension, but I have given her all the information she requires to make a prompt decision.�

�If it is not in my favor, then the central goal of reclaiming my inheritance will still be firmly established and protected.�

Beka decided to run straight into the unknown, "I�ll see you in my quarters in 2 hours. Neither one of us reports for 3rd shift for another 6 hours. Let�s make the best of the time we have."

Turning to leave, a bashful Beka scrutinized Harper and Trance as she stated matter of factly, "This conversation did not exactly shape up the way I originally thought it would. We only have 2 other crewmates who don�t know the latest."

Beka squinched her eyes and bit her lip. "Make that one. Andromeda�s internal sensors allow her to know what happens throughout her body. You can make it your business NOT to tell Dylan or let him find out on his own. I am confident you know how I�d want this handled as your Captain, but I don�t control either of you."

Directing her attention towards him, Beka said "Tyr, I will be preparing for your arrival. I prefer you wear the leather pants with the black vest that has a v-neck and a diagonal zipper. Do not disappoint me, Mr. Anasazi."

She turned on her heel and left.

Part 5 Background information

Summary: Tyr has an enlightened conversation with Harper and Te.
e.

Tyr sat down in the lounge across from Trance and Harper. His eyes were dancing as he gave them a brief smile. He was satisfied. She didn�t curse him out, say his suggestion was ludicrous, or get flaky or giggly.

He might be able to regain a handle on this situation. He had allowed it to spin out of control for too long. He wanted to choose a different course for them and himself..

"Before I prepare for what promises to be a lively conversation, I�d like to ask you two a few things about Valentine that I have been curious about." Tyr shrugged with his eyebrows raised. Their answers would give him the decided advantage.

This afternoon was going to make it so much better than the last 2 years had been on Andromeda. He could hardly wait.

Credits

I think the original idea for this story came after reading Beka Valentine, Beka Andromeda, or an author with a name close to that. There were a number of hurdles facing T/B in that story. I was ready for the characters to have sex.

After the 8th or the 10th chapter, I was saying to myself and outloud, "DO IT ALREADY!" At this stage of revision, my story falls into the same category, but I am improving it all the time.

A lot of readers who have commented have said things along the lines that Tyr would never approach Beka directly in this manner because the sport is what drives him. I don�t know that I have read a fic story where Tyr approaches her in this manner. This might be an area I need to explore.

As a reader, I wanted to see him get straight to it ASAP. This is my way of getting there in fewer chapters. The large scale revisions kind of have defeated my purpose. I have to figure out how I can get some sex in by the 4th or 5th chapter. As I do the revisions, I should get where I need to be.
