"Why'd you have to do that for?" Commander Tucker's ire was directed
at his on-again off-again lover.

"I had my orders."

"Well... did you have to like it so much?"

Major Reed smirked. "Did you have to sleep with that... Vulcan?"

"Ah, so that's what it's about." He smiled cajolingly. "I just did
her a favor; it's not like we're goin' steady."

"And I _had_ to interrogate you! You'd have done the same thing if
our roles were reversed."

"Yeah, but I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much."

Reed kissed him roughly and chuckled. "Yeah, you'd have enjoyed it
more."
