Isa wants to do some experiments.

The doctor had me and Isa sedated for the night to prevent any late night shenanigans from happening in her sick bay. It was probably for the best. I'm not sure what we would have done, left to our own devices. In the morning, we were re-examined and the doctor gave us the news.

"You both still have escalated levels of endorphin in your systems, but there is no trace of the original virus. Whatever you picked up on the planet is a separate entity from what we came across before."

"So, what is it?" Isa asked.

"From what I can tell, it's some sort of accelerator. It's like some sort of raw form of adrenaline that seems to build up steam the closer you are to each other."

I shifted on my medical bed, looking over to Isa. Less than 24 hours ago we were wrapped up in each other's bodies, naked and drenched in each other's sweat and juices. It was a vivid memory that made my blood rush to my head. The sensations I got from our time together was intoxicating and I felt dry without the feel of her skin or the scent of her musk. Was it the plant virus in me? Did it matter?

"Does that mean we can never be in contact with each other?" I asked with a timber of regret.

"Only for a day or so," Dr. Akira said, either missing or ignoring my intonation. "The virus strength looks to be waning. Your levels aren't as high as they were the other day and by my estimate, you should be back to your nominal levels by this time tomorrow. You two can keep yourselves distracted from one another for that long, right?"

I looked over to Isa and she smiled at me. I felt my heart skip a beat and looked away. I nodded to Dr. Akira, "Sure... a day."

"Hold on Kellye," Isa interjected. The doctor turned to her, "How are you so sure it's just me and Trask that set this virus off? What if we run into someone else that sets us off?"

"Well, you two are the only ones who have been exposed to this particular strain," Akira explained. "Plus, your interactions with me hasn't raised your levels the way they have when you get close with Ensign Trask."

Isa pulled up her gown and sat up, cross legged, on her bed, "Well, that may be because our interactions haven't been intimate..." she suggested seductively.

Akira stood by stoically by the nude lieutenant, stating, "That's irrelevant. In a day he virus will have run its course and you will be back to your normal self. There's no need to experiment."

"Oh, come on Kellye," Isa said as she toed the doctor's lab coat. "Can't you indulge my scientific curiousity?"

Akira sighed heavily and folded her arms together, "Isa, I'm going to presume this is the virus and not you. Please have some decorum."

Isa's foot was tracing a line up and down Akira's front. "But, aren't you curious to the extent of this 'virus'? There could be medicinal benefits to an aphrodisiac you know..."

"We both know that there's hardly a need for aphrodisiacs on this ship," Akira said calmly as she held Greene's foot and placed it back on the bed firmly. "Go back to your quarters and try to avoid trouble for the rest of the day."

Greene stood up to her knees on the bed and turned around. She bent over and turned to Akira to say, "But I've been such a naughty girl. You should spank me..." She waved ass toward the doctor. "Just give me a hard, firm spank."

Akira tried to get Greene to sit back down. I was embarrassed watching Isabella's behavior. She was not herself and it worried me that I wouldn't act myself either. "I'd better head out, doctor..." I said, surprised at how hoarse my voice was. The doctor turned to me and gave me a look. I wasn't quite sure what that was about until I looked down at myself. I had been masturbating as I was watching the whole scene. I quickly snapped my legged together and threw my gown over my lap.

With some ****, we were both released from sick bay and returned to our quarters. Dr. Akira had Leena escort Lieutenant Greene while she took me with her. We were cleared for duty but could take the day off for stress relief if we felt we required it. She then re-iterated that whatever we chose to do, we should avoid contact with each other. I was happy to whole up in my quarters and not risk further embarrassment.
