The almost-touch rippled across his skin, made him shiver. The logic of allowing it was clear to him - the logic of enjoying it... was not. Why this human? Why this arrangement?
Spock did not desire command for himself - he was enough of a target by simple virtue of his blood. He preferred his research and his experiments. It did not stop him from angling for position within the ranks of the science department but he would make no attempt to obtain command, especially under a competent commander such as Pike.
He did, he was discovering, enjoy the proverbial nip to the flank to remind him of his position. Strange.
Pike made a display of readying what he would need and Spock watched, anticipation building with each breath between decision and application. Had he thought it most difficult to allow the casual touches? It was equally difficult to wait for the purposeful ones. He moved slightly, shifted in his impatience.
