Summary: During the episode "Tuvix", Janeway and Kes find comfort together after Tuvok and Neelix are merged in a transporter accident.

Her skin was very warm, Janeway reflected. She shifted, pulling closer to Kes, the smaller woman mumbling in her sleep a little, then subsiding. Kes was lying on her side with Janeway's head on Kes's outstretched arm, so that they faced one another. Janeway held her hip gently, thinking of earlier in the evening.
It was some time later, after Kes had left her quarters the first time, that Janeway's door had chimed once more. "Come." She called. It was Kes again, and Janeway had not been terribly surprised by her sudden presence. "Come in, Kes. Would you like some tea?"
Kes was shaking, had obviously been crying. "I couldn't sleep. I asked the computer if you were awake before I came here. It's late."
"It's all right." Foregoing the tea, Janeway gestured her guest to the couch, seating herself in one corner, giving Kes room to breathe, to grieve, to scream if necessary. But Kes curled herself up into such a tiny ball, so small and forlorn, that there was nothing Kathryn Janeway could do except wrap her arms around Kes and hold her tight. Warm her just a little, remind her that there was still life in the universe. Kes stretched out and hugged Janeway tightly, beginning to cry again. She stroked Kes's hair and murmured what she hoped was comforting, but she now didn't know what she had said.
Tuvok and Neelix. Neelix and Tuvok. Now one being?! It was so...difficult to grasp. Janeway had been reading Tuvok's letters to her, before Kes came back, thinking, am I grieving for him? Is this a permanent state? What happened? She had been sitting on her couch when Kes returned, staring, quite literally, off into space. Mulling this development.
Poor Kes. To have both her teacher and her love snatched away, replaced by such a visible reminder of this incident was so enormously painful.
Already, Janeway was missing Tuvok's steady presence, and Neelix had helped them several times, learning their way around this new quadrant. This new being was an unknown.
Janeway rocked Kes gently for a long time. Gradually, the tears began to slow and finally stopped altogether, Kes softening into sleep as Janeway stroked her hair.
Kathryn let her head fall back and closed her eyes briefly. She tried to guess if moving to her own bed would wake Kes or not. She stirred, and Kes bolted up, wide-eyed, "Don't leave me alone!"
"Shhh, I won't leave you." Janeway leaned forward and kissed Kes's forehead. Kes leaned back into her, curled into Janeway's lap. She held Kathryn's hand under her chin and laid her head on the other woman's chest. Janeway was suddenly, acutely aware of the breast Kes breathed on, of the thin fabric separating her body from Kes, the warm burst of desire.
Kes sighed against her, almost purring. She moved her hand over Janeway's breast lightly, and Kate closed her eyes for a moment, shuddering. Thinking, desperately, of Mark, of how long it had been.
"Please." Kes.
She took the plunge, and kissed her lightly. Savoring the pressure under her lips, the warm apple taste of Kes's mouth. Her heart was beating very fast, and Janeway laid her hand on Kes's chest, feeling her body through Kes's uniform. The similar fast heartbeat.
Kes shifted out of Kate's lap, taking her arm and kissing her wrist, smiling against her skin as Janeway moaned softly, almost a whimper.
Every inch of Kate was crying for more. They stretched out on Janeway's couch, Kes on the outside, kissing Janeway gently, caressing her through the thin robe and nightgown. Kes taking her other arm and breathing lightly, licking where Janeway's pulse throbbed, reveling in her taste, the salty tang of her skin. She bit, nipping her way up Kate's arm to her shoulder, looking at the strong face in her hands before kissing her thoroughly.
Janeway held them together, fingers in Kes's hair, exploring her mouth, kissing her chin, then neck. The two of them rolled off the couch for comfort, giggling and shoving Janeway's coffee table out of the way.
Janeway unfastened Kes's clothing and slowly removed it, stopping to kiss her body as more was revealed. Kes pulled down the robe and gown Kate wore, until they were both bare, touching as much skin as they possibly could.
"Computer, dim lights. Lock door."
They lay in a pile of discarded clothing, kissing, touching. Kes played with Janeway's nipples, biting, then flicking her nipples with the tip of her tongue, until Janeway groaned, arching her back, pushing her breasts toward Kes and shuddering. Her skin temperature had jumped by at least two degrees, Kes guessed, when Janeway grabbed her head and kissed her harshly, moaning into her mouth, then shifting to bite her shoulder.
Kate panted against Kes's shoulder, eyes shut, then began to bite her own way down Kes's arm, sucking her fingertips slowly, one at a time, kissing her palm. Kes quivered, whimpering, clasping Janeway's shoulder. Kate worked her way back up, pausing at Kes's elbow, scraping her skin with her teeth.
She whispered, "Do you climax the way Terrans do?"
"Yes." Kes kissed her, guiding her hand downward and drawing her leg up, bent at the knee. Janeway was tall enough that she could kiss Kes and explore her with her fingers at the same time. Stroking the smooth folds of flesh, running her fingertips along Kes's thighs, she focused on the little button that made Kes gasp.
Unnecessarily, "Is this the right spot?"
Kes gasped again. "Yes."
Teasing her gently, first slowly, then faster as Kes's moans in her mouth became more intense. Kes started to shake, clenching her fingers in Janeway's hair, and Kate probed her mouth with her tongue as her hand moved as fast as she could. Kes spasmed, her whole body shaking, and she cried out with pleasure, digging her nails into Janeway's flesh, bucking against Kate's hand as she screamed in orgasm. She panted, quivering against Kate's body, kissing her neck, whispering little moans of pleasure against her skin, a muffled purr.
Janeway stroked her back until Kes stopped shaking, and her hand in Kate's hair relaxed. Kes grabbed Janeway's hand and kissed and bit her fingertips, her wrist, the inside of her arm, until Kate whispered, "oh, my" and sagged against her, digging the nails of her free hand into the carpet. Kes traced a long line of kisses down Janeway's body, pushing her onto her back.
Stroking the inside of Kate's leg with her thumb, Kes tasted her. At first timidly, then quickly gaining confidence, she nibbled and tugged on Janeway's clitoris, tracing her labia with her tongue, exploring Janeway with her mouth. Kate jerked and moaned, and Kes went slower, drawing the pleasure out, letting her rest, then picked up the pace again.
Janeway stroked Kes's hair, sighing as she relented for a moment, then groaning loudly as Kes attacked her anew. Building the fire slowly, relenting and attacking again and again, until Janeway moaned, begging to be released, begging, "please, oh, please don't stop", her hands buried in Kes's hair. Kes sucked and nibbled faster, not stopping, not slowing down as Janeway quaked, shuddering, heat spreading through her body until her orgasm burst through her, crying Kes's name, as her body shook in Kes's hands. Kes held her gently with her mouth, not releasing Janeway until the last shiver had passed, then kissed her way up Kate's stomach to lie on her side, nuzzling the other woman's neck, hand on one breast.
They lay quietly for a while, then moved to the bed, Janeway curling around Kes to sleep.
Janeway smiled. Thank God for soundproofing.
