Reactions and Reviews

I like stories like this where Kirk and Spock, nowhere near to acknowledging their desire for each other, are forced into an intimate situation. I felt it unlikely from the start, though, that Spock would be doing this dance in public, but it was explained later. On this planet with a hedonistic culture, he was basically coerced, could not diplomatically refuse. Nor could he and Kirk diplomatically refuse their being together ostensibly as lovers for the night. They were not alone, had to put on an act for the attendants present. Poor Kirk, asking a little later, was it so bad to have to kiss me? Of course Spock cannot say why he's really so uncomfortable. So they end up hurting each other, withdrawing, each sure the other doesn't have those kinds of feelings. A wonderful scene in the morning though! A nice surprise I won't say. This is a totally virginal Spock. but he's a good dancer, after all, and is a quick study at sex. Nice.
