Chapter
31
Kara
sighed at her reflection in the bathroom mirror; her breasts were
spilling out of her bra, and she still had five or six more months to
go. She unclasped her bra, breathing with relief at the feeling of
freedom, just a second or two before the heavy soreness set in.
Pregnancy
was uncomfortable. She’d almost forgotten how much.
She
could hear noises coming from the adjacent bedroom as Lee got ready
for bed; it made her stomach flutter, and she promised herself she’d
tell him about the baby by Christmas. It was only two days away,
hopefully long enough for her to gather up some courage.
She
told herself that their first day in New York would be about Aria and
her grandfather; and sure enough, the day had passed quickly as the
retired Admiral fell in love with his only grandchild -- so far. And
the next day would be Helo’s arrival, and she didn’t want
to overshadow her reunion with her friend by announcing the news of
her pregnancy; they’d have time later.
Kara
heard a door open, followed by Lee’s footsteps in the hallway
outside the guest bedroom that had been assigned to them. She knew he
was probably going to the office where Aria was sleeping -- the next
day the office would be housing the Agathons; Aria would then have to
share the guest room with Lee and Kara.
The
king-sized bed in the guest bedroom was big enough to hold all three
of them - a definite improvement from Kara’s full-sized
bed in Montana, or even Lee’s bed in Colorado. It also looked
super comfortable, and the only thing keeping Kara from giving in to
her constant fatigue was the promise of some alone time with Lee.
While
the commitment-phobe in her appreciated their current living
arrangements in separate states, her libido was a very different
story.
It
had probably been a good thing that she’d been extra tired and
cranky from her flights when she met him in Chicago, or she would’ve
probably gotten them in trouble for extreme displays of affection.
The
same footsteps from before returned after a couple of minutes,
followed by a knock on the bathroom door and Lee’s voice asking
for her.
“Come
in,” Kara replied, not bothering to cover herself up.
“Hey,
I just checked on her, out like a lig--” he explained, voice
trailing off as he noticed her state of undress; the only clothing
item she was wearing was a pair of panties.
A
soft blush spread down her neck as she noticed his studious gaze
through the bathroom mirror. She turned around to look at him, and
her smirk was almost subconscious.
Judging
by the way his eyes were running up and down her torso, Lee
definitely liked the increase in her cup-size, even if he wasn’t
aware of the reasons behind her physiological changes.
And
she wasn’t about to give him time to realize her new pounds.
Kara walked to him, her hands going straight for his shirt and boxers
and helping him undress, as she pushed them out of the bathroom, and
into the adjoining guest bedroom with the comfortable-looking bed.
Lee
took a seat once they reached the mattress, pulling Kara to stand
between his legs as he slowly started to remove her underwear. She
would’ve yelled at him for taking too long, except she didn’t
want to wake up any of the other occupants in the condo.
A
proficient mouth wrapped around one very-sensitive nipple of hers,
and Kara bit her lip as she tried to contain a moan. Teeth grazed the
tightened nub, drawing a sharp hiss from her before she pulled his
mouth away.
She
had always been able to appreciate the fine line between pain and
pleasure, especially during sex, but considering the fact she wasn’t
allowed to scream, Kara knew there were some things she’d have
to stop before they even started.
“Wait,”
Lee said as her strong hands pushed against his torso, trying to get
him to lie down flat on the bed. “We're at Dad and Laura's...
should we be doing this here?”
Kara
laughed under her breath at Lee’s delayed concerns. “We
frakked in the Old Man’s Battlestar, made out in the officer
mess, and beat each other up all over his hangar… and we gave
him a granddaughter. Something tells me he doesn’t really give
a frak what we do here tonight, as long as he doesn’t hear
details,” she pointed out, hoping this was the end of the
discussion because Kara definitely didn’t want to think about
anyone other than the man underneath her.
Lee
had obviously craved her as much as she’d craved him, because
discussing the fact that they were about to have sex in his father’s
home hadn’t affect his impressive erection one bit.
Kara
took advantage of that; she was wet enough from their prolonged
abstinence to not need any foreplay. She poised herself above him,
and prayed to the gods that her center of gravity hadn’t
changed yet with her slowly growing uterus.
Neither
of them could contain their moans as she finally sank down on him. He
grew even harder inside her, pressing against nerve endings that were
sensitive from increased hormones. It took less than two thrusts for
Kara to come, every muscle in her body feeling the relief that had
been denied to them for the several weeks Lee had been in Colorado;
self-gratification just couldn’t do the same for her body.
“Too
long,” she moaned under her breath, feeling a rush of emotions
that was probably due to her current state. “Can’t be
apart from you, Lee… need this…”
Lee’s
hands anchored her hips against his as he slowly flipped them over
until she was on her back. He resumed his slow, long thrusts, deep
inside her-deeper than she ever remembered.
She
felt swollen, extra-receptive tissue responding emphatically to Lee’s
body as it pushed into her.
“I
need you, Kara,” Lee confessed against the skin of her neck,
his breath brushing against her earlobe and sending her over the edge
again.
Her
second orgasm seemed unending; all her senses were on fire, toes
curling against cool sheets as she felt another rush of emotions that
she couldn’t stop.
“Promise
me you won’t leave,” she begged uncharacteristically as
she felt Lee coming deep inside of her. “Don’t leave me,”
she repeated, even though she didn’t know what she was truly
asking.
Lee
didn’t seem sure either, but he nodded, pressing butterfly
kisses to her jawline and cheeks. “Never leave you, Kara,”
he whispered against her lips before kissing her so deep she almost
forgot about her sudden neediness.
She
fell asleep still joined with him, both of them on their sides facing
one another.
During
the whole night, he never left her.

[Ten
Years Later]
Lee
closed the bedroom door silently behind him, making sure to lock it.
He glanced over to the bed and found Kara naked on top of the covers.
Judging
by the smirk on her perfect lips, she had the same on her mind as he
did.
“Jess
stopped by and they have commenced their secret mission. They’re
sneaking the kids out to Mary’s house, letting them try to
figure out what some of their gifts are,” he explained.
It
had been over thirteen years since they’d found Earth; some
Survivors still observed Colonial holidays only, others had converted
to all kinds of Earthly religions. Kara remained a believer in her
gods, Lee still a non-believer, but they still partook on
Christmas-even if to them it was just carte
blanche to spoil their kids for one day out of the year. Mary - and now Joe,
Jess and Lisa, all grown - always got plenty of gifts for the kids;
so many that the underside of Mary’s Christmas tree usually
took up most of her living room.
“Remind
me to thank Jess next time I see him,” Kara told him.
Lee
started to undress, wondering how the temperature in their room could
be so warm when it was below zero outside.
Kara’s
body was as welcoming as ever, the soft skin brushing against his to
create the most perfect feeling he would ever know. Almost two
decades of knowing her hadn’t changed his perception that she
was one of the most perfect women he’d ever seen.
“We
can be as loud as we want!” she announced with glee, following
it with a giggle into his collarbone.
“You’re
always loud,” he pointed out as he felt himself harden even
more against her thigh. Foreplay would have to wait for round two; he
might be in his forties, but with the right incentive, he usually had
no problems in going for multiple rounds. And the idea of the two of
them in an empty house was definitely the right kind of incentive.
“I
can be louder,” she promised as her legs locked around his
hips; the tip of his erection pushed against her to find her beyond
wet.
He
responded with some loudness of his own, groaning at the sensation.
He entered her quickly with a sharp thrust, not wishing to deny them
the feeling for even one more second.
Lee
pulled back so he could look into her eyes, and the desire he saw in
there was almost sinful. “I want you so much,” he
confessed to her, just in case his own eyes weren’t already
telling her that.
“You’ve
got me, Lee,” she whispered back to him, reaching up to trace a
line of kisses along his jawline. “Gods know you’re the
only one who can handle me,” she added with another of her
coital giggles.
He
couldn’t help but laugh with her, no matter how serious the
matter was. His thrusts were quick and shallow, as he told himself
they’d have time for slow later. He needed her right now; he
always needed her. It was always overwhelming, even after all these
years; he’d lost her so many times that every day, every minute
with her felt like time stolen from the gods themselves. “Kara,”
he moaned into her mouth, biting down on her lip to keep himself from
coming so quickly.
Nails
dug into the skin of his back, and the heels of her feet pressed
against his buttocks with a request for increase in his pace. Lee
complied, thrusting even faster inside her. Kara moaned her
compliments, the volume of her moans increasing as promised.
“Frak!”
she shouted in his ear as she came, right before she bit down on his
earlobe.
She
was so hot beneath him and around him, the sweat quickly forming
between their bodies as he continued to rock against her.
When
her tremors were done, she started to meet him thrust for thrust, a
devilish gleam appearing in her eyes.
“I
believe it’s your turn,
sir,”
she teased.
And
frak if that wasn’t his undoing; they’d been retired for
gods know how many years, but anytime she used that word during sex,
he was always done. One more thrust inside her and he came, shouting
her name so loud that he was glad the house was empty.
She
flipped them over, rising above him with a dare and a playful smirk.
“Come on, Lee, don’t tell me old age is catching up with
you.”
“Not
even close, Kara,” he replied as his hands reached for her
hips, while his mouth found its way to a perfectly plump nipple. “I’m
just starting,” he promised.
