THE BATHS OF HALFASKA

War was imminent; tension levels aboard the station were high. For weeks now, everyone from security to maintenance had been preparing the station for attack ... the Starfleet personnel, along with shop owners and civilians, had been running drills and simulations of invasion and hull breaches. Our response times were cut in half, and then half again ... although Sisko wanted them better still.

In any event, we were now as prepared as we were going to be ... it was time to take a well deserved break, or else we would snap from the tension. With that in mind, I had reserved one of Quarks holosuites for an hour of recreation, and invited Jadzia and Leeta to join me. I picked a simple program ... one we would all enjoy.

The Baths of Halfaska are one of the few natural treasures on Bajor that we were able to hide from the Cardassians. They are a natural spring, full of minerals and salts that make the body tingle with sensual pleasure ... and are hidden beneath the earth, in a cave system that has nothing of interest within it for several kilometers.

I took Jadzia to the Baths soon after she was stationed here. As I knew she would, she fell in love with the place. What I didn't know until months later was that she had worked tirelessly creating a program to reproduce them here, so we could enjoy the place whenever we needed a diversion ... which was exactly what we needed now.

I was first to arrive, but was barely out of my uniform when the arch opened to reveal Jadzia and Leeta entering. Within seconds, all of our clothing was gone, and we slipped into the steaming water of the Baths. I sighed as I lay back, eyes closed, as the tingling sensation began. Across from me, I heard Leeta's sweet sigh, as she too, slid into the water. I opened my eyes slightly, and saw Jadzia apparently fussing with our clothing. I could see that she had everything laid out on the rocks. With a slightly exacerbated sigh, I asked, "Are you joining us anytime soon?"

Jadzia turned, and smiled, "Of course," and then she stepped over to the 'wall' ... a moment later, the soft music of pipe and drum filled the chamber. The music was just barely audible, adding a mysterious sensuality to the setting. As Jadzia walked back toward the Baths, she said, "I wanted our clothing to be ready, in case we are interrupted ... Sisko would never understand if we ..."

I interrupted, "You're right ... thanks," then I closed my eyes once more, and sighed. The movement of the water, as Jadzia slid into the pool, renewed the tingling sensation in my arms and legs. Leeta's sighs, and Jadzia's soft moan, as she slid into the water, made my body ache; I slid my hand between my thighs, the other lay on my stomach. I was lost in the sensation of my own touch when suddenly, I felt a gently sucking sensation on each breast. I opened my eyes to see my two friends, one on each side, each with a nipple in their mouth.

I moaned as the first wave of satisfaction coursed through my body, and reached out to my friends, slipping my fingers between their legs, finding just the right spot on each of them. Leeta sucked my nipple hard, as I slid my fingers into her; Jadzia bit down, as I found the bony ridge that was the center of her pleasure zone. My own body ached to be filled, and my friends knew it ... suddenly, I felt two hands, one from behind, one from the front. "Take me," I gasped, as one hand pushed its way deep within, the other stimulated the swollen hood of my sex.

I could feel the tension of release building within me ... I could hold out no longer. As the orgasm coursed through my body, I bucked and thrashed, finding the sucking and thrusting of my friends increasing, as their own moans brought me to the brink and back over and over again. At last, they let up, somehow sensing that I could take no more gratification for the moment ... I was spent, and oh so pleasantly relaxed.

Opening my eyes, I smiled, and kissed one, then the other. I ran my hands over them, taking in every gasp and sigh as I fondled the taut nipples. As my hands slid over Jadzia's delicate spots, she shuddered, and Leeta added to her pleasure by running her tongue down the line of spots along her other side. "Let me watch you," I whispered, as I encouraged them to make love to one another. This had become a bit of a ritual between the three of us, taking turns; two would make love to one, then that one would watch while the others made love to each other.

Leeta lay back, floating on the water, as Jadzia ran her hands along her body ... she knelt down in the water between Leeta's spread legs, pressing her face into the cleanly shaven pussy. I could see Jadzia's tongue flick across Leeta's swollen sex, and could almost feel the sensation in my own overstimulated body.

Suddenly, I no longer wanted to just watch. I moved up to Leeta's head and kneeling, cradled it against my own breasts, as I playfully fondled her nipples. Jadzia looked up with a smile, knowing that my presence would give Leeta more support in the water, then continued her ministrations. By the sounds coming from Leeta, she was fully enjoying this double stimulation, and within seconds, was thrashing and bucking as she came.

After a while, Jadzia released her hold on Leeta's hips, and let her legs sink into the water; it was now her turn for release. Leeta returned to the side of the pool, eagerly watching as I took Jadzia in my arms. I kissed her, and could taste Leeta on her lips ... I thrust my tongue into her mouth, trying to capture all of her essence.

Slipping my hand between Jadzia's legs, I once again stimulated her bony ridge. Suddenly, I could feel Jadzia's strong hands on my ass, pulling our bodies closer. I slipped my knee between her legs, replacing my hand, and pressed hard against her sex. She began to hump my leg, the friction created by the movement causing her to gasp in pleasure.

It wouldn't take much to bring her release, so I relinquished her mouth, and ran my tongue along the line of spots down her collarbone ... her cry of delight was all the incentive I needed to continue to her breast, and when I captured her nipple between my teeth, she was overcome by the intensity of her orgasm.

At last, we were all spent ... lying back in the water, I looked at my companions, and sighed heavily. Jadzia smiled, and said, "You can say that again," and we all laughed. I closed my eyes, letting the warmth of the water sooth me, when a small chime sounded, warning us that there were only five minutes left of our time here.

I could hear disappointment in the soft groans of my companions, but knew that, deep down, we all felt lucky ... after all, we *could* have been interrupted mid-fuck ... at least we were able to share a few moments of mutual gratification amid the turmoil and confusion that imminent war can bring.
