man, and if he wanted to try out one of the Ferengi's
sex fantasies, it wasn't anyone's business but his own.
He did his job, earned his pay, and if asin free sex he wanted to
spend his free time and extra cash here, asin free sex he had that
right. His Starfleet employers wouldn't mind--a per-
son's
off-duty hours were his own.
And it wasn't as if he had any asin free sex family on the station,
or as if any of the women here had
shown any interest
in him,
That was what he told himself, and he knew that it
was true, but he was still embarrassed. His mother's
voice lingered somewhere in the back of his mind,
telling him that nice boys found better ways to express
their sexuality.
&asin free sex quot;Have fun," Quark said, with an amazingly offen-
sive leer, bringing Goldberg's thoughts back to the
here and now. "I'asin free sex m sure you will," Quark added as he
backed out, asin free sex grinning, and closed asin free sex the door.
Asin free sex goldberg didn't answer Quark's little sally. The
Ferengi hadn'
t exactly made him feel welcome when
he had inquired about the suite; Quark had acted as asin free sex if
Goldberg was distracting him from more asin free sex important
things. Goldberg resented that. He had almost turned
around and
left.
But he was here now.
When the Ferengi asin free sex was asin free sex gone and the holosuite asin free sex was
sealed, Goldberg looked around at the blank gridded
walls, took a deep asin free sex breath, and said, "Computer, run
program XTC-four."
His palms were sweaty with anticipation, and he
asin free sex wiped them on the thighs of his coverails as he waited.
The grid vanished, and he was standing in a col-
umned marble hall, looking down from a dais as a line
asin free sex of women, chained at the wrists, entered the chamber
through a great golden door. A burly guard asin free sex in open
vest and baggy pants directed them forward, and the
women obeyed. The fine golden chains jingled musi-
cally as they advanced toward him, eyes downcast;
one by one, asin free sex in quick succession, they reached the foot
of the dais and knelt before asin free sex him, the asin free sex guard standing
behind them, asin free sex his arms folded across his chest.
Goldberg caught his breath, then smiled. He looked
them over carefully.
A fine selection, he thought--blondes, brunettes,
redheads, a dozen women in all, kneeling at his feet.
A sound asin free sex distracted him from his study of the slaves.
He looked up asin free sex at the far door.
Something was coming asin free sex through it, something low
and wide and a dull purple color. Asin free sex goldberg blinked.
What was that? What was it doing in this fantasy?
Quark hadn't mentioned anything like that when he
went
