HOME II
“Nice speech, wasn’t it?” A brisk walk caught Kara up with Lee. The president’s welcome back speech complete, the causeways were jammed with people.
Lost in thought, Lee turned at her words, a distracted smile playing around his mouth. “Short speech. Madam President knows when to keep it brief.” And mend fences. So much had happened recently and not all of it had sank in.
His father was back in command, the President reinstated, the arrow retrieved and the tomb found - complete with a map and direction.
But most of all…Kara was home and it made him so happy he wasn’t sure how to deal with it. Aside from a few conversations, he still didn’t know much about what she went through on Caprica, but he knew it wasn’t good. She seemed to settle right back into routine and had yet to take him up on his offer to talk about anything she needed to discuss.
Walking beside her now, Lee really wanted to make her sit down and open up to him…but he knew she wouldn’t.
They'd fallen right back into their usual camaraderie as if nothing had gone down before she’d left. It was probably for the better…but he felt he should at least explain why he’d had such a bad reaction to the whole Baltar thing. Except he couldn’t…because he didn’t know why. It surprised him as much as it did her.
Kara watched Lee as they jostled through the corridors, knowing he was over thinking things again. Internalizing instead of venting, holding things in. If Lee spent half as much time doing as he did thinking, he’d probably be amazed at how much more progress he’d make.
Take them.
He’d gone fairly quiet after their exchange on the Astral Queen. They still talked, had each other’s backs, but he didn’t mention the kiss or the fact that he’d told her he loved her. She’d had time to think about it and everything sort of fell into place for her. They’d been dancing around it for so long and Lee finally broke…hence the reaction to her sleeping with Baltar. She could kick herself for getting so drunk she fell into bed with him.
Again…if Lee spent half as much time doing…
Not that she had room to talk. They’d gotten closer since the initial attacks; her part in Zak’s death wasn’t hanging between anymore and she knew Lee liked to take things slow. His pole-axed gaze when he saw her in that stupid dress should have been her first clue that they had potential…but she’d been in denial mode.
Their argument, her jump, the time on Caprica…all fell away when his lips hit hers on the Astral Queen. It was like coming home…she just didn’t realize it at first. Unexpected surprises would do that to a person.
She was so wrapped up in the memory she shot right past Lee when he stopped at the hatch to quarters. Stopping short, she turned to find him looking at her with an amused expression on his face.
She rolled her eyes up and over. “Guess I wasn’t paying attention.” Following him into quarters, she watched as he walked over to his locker to shed the dress grays. “Lee…” she waited for him to glance at her.
She held his gaze and the room became charged between them. “I’d like to have that talk now.”
The slight inclination of his head was Lee's only response. Words weren’t really necessary and Kara dogged the hatch and barred it.
She made her way to Lee, putting her hands over his on the uniform sash. Then she undid the clasp and laid it in his locker. Lee returned the favor, removing her and they both started on the buttons of each other’s jackets. Once removed, Lee took hers and piled it on top of the sashes.
His hand hovered close to her face, his eyes searching hers and seeing what he needed, his fingers brushed gently down her cheek to cup her chin before his lips claimed hers with a tentative kiss. When she responded hungrily, his tongue slid into her mouth, exploring slowly, deeply, as if he were memorizing for contemplation at a later time. His other hand drew her closer as the kiss deepened and took on some heat.
Kara felt as if she were melting. She leaned into Lee, her body going soft as she molded herself to him. Grabbing onto his shoulders, her hands slid up to his head, fingers shooting through his hair.
She relied on Lee to keep her upright as the kiss burned its way through her system. If the kiss on the Astral Queen was like coming home, this one was a vacation from reality. Better than that, because it was real. It was just her brain felt like it was three steps behind her body.
Lee angled them over to his bunk. He only broke the kiss long enough to sit her on the edge so he could lean her back with another hot, passion-filled kiss. His fingers went to her pants, deftly undoing them and working the fabric down past her hips, underwear included, far enough so Kara could kick them off. Unfastening his own, he removed them quickly, shedding his boxers at the same time.
Rolling up onto the bunk, he hauled her over beside him and molded their bodies together, still kissing her breathless. He eased back as his fingers worked her tanks up, lips dipping to whisper kisses along the exposed flesh. Pulling the shirts over her head, his mouth found her neck and he gently grazed the skin with his teeth and Kara gasped at the contact.
Her hands stroked down Lee's arms, relishing the feel of solid muscle. Grabbing onto his shirts she made short work of getting them off so her lips and tongue could taste the skin of his chest. She made a humming sound in her throat at the feel of the warm, smooth surface under her lips. Raising her head, she met him in another kiss that had her blood coursing through her veins with rapid intensity.
Lee smoothed his hands down her back then curved over her ass to draw her flush against him. He worked a knee between her legs, his hair-roughened thigh rubbing over her sensitive nub. She let out a husky groan and he replaced the leg with his hand. Her hips bucked up as two fingers slid inside her. Warm and wet, she felt like liquid silk and his cock hurt with wanting her.
The thinking part of Kara’s brain shut down and the feeling section took over. Arching her back brought her breasts in contact with Lee’s chest and she moaned when the sensitive peaks brushed up against his warm skin. Her hands had a will of their own, moving over him, tugging him closer, kneading the flesh of his arms, back, and ass until her fingers tingled with the friction.
Lee’s fingers worked magic and unable to stand it any longer, she gave him a light shove backwards, dislodging his hand, but he didn’t protest. Her head dipped to his torso, lips ghosting over his taut abdomen before moving up so her tongue could swirl around a pebbled nipple. Lee sucked in a harsh breath, grasping the sides of her face, pulling her up so their mouths could meet.
Deepening the kiss, her tongue slipping deftly into his mouth, Kara straddled Lee’s hips. Effectively trapping his erection between them, she moved back and forth over it, teasing him until he growled low in his throat. His hands went to her waist holding her still, while his hips dipped then shifted up to slide his cock smoothly inside her.
The grin Kara wore fell away when he stopped her and her mouth opened on a gasp. He pumped his hips, still holding onto her waist until she groaned. Her hands went to his chest and she pushed herself up, eyes heavy with desire.
Kara blinked, looked down at him and settled her knees close to his ribs. She started a slow grind as a sultry smile curved her lips and Lee knew he was a goner. His eyes rolled back as she rocked her hips and his hands dropped to the sheet, fingers twisting at the pleasure she created.
With deep satisfaction, Kara watched Lee come undone beneath her. She felt the heat building, her body feeling like one giant nerve ending. Everywhere their skin touched ripples of heat emanated, and Kara could feel the burn spreading like a wave over her.
Lee’s hands cupped her breasts and she nearly slid over the edge…but held back. Grasping one of his hands, she brought it up to her mouth, nipping lightly at his forefinger. She laid her other hand over his on her breast twining her fingers with his as rubbed his palm over her nipple.
Lee wanted to explode inside her. After she bit softly on his finger, he fisted his hand around hers letting her tuck it under her chin as she worked over his hips at a faster pace. Breathing harshly, he knew he wasn’t going to last much longer.
He felt Kara tighten around his length, letting him know she was as close as he was. Sliding his hand out from under the one on her breast, he pressed her palm over the skin and moved to the other peak, brushing his fingertips over the aroused tip.
Kara shattered around him, muffling her cries of pleasure with his fist by pressing her lips to his knuckles. He broke to the sight of her eyes closing in orgasm, shoulders trembling, before his own eyes slid shut as he emptied inside her. When she collapsed against him, his arms automatically went around her, holding her close, savoring the moment.
They stayed that way until their skin cooled and breathing returned to normal.
Kara shifted sideways and slid off Lee. He turned to face her, keeping her snug against him. She buried her face in his shoulder wondering if he got it yet. They didn’t need words to communicate…not when they just said everything they’d ever need to say to each other.
Still it was Lee she was dealing with.
She raised her head to finally say something and he flat out shocked her to her toes by speaking first. “So…I’m thinking we need to have conversations like this more often.” His lips nuzzled her neck before drifting down to her shoulder.
Stunned speechless for a minute, Kara’s thought maybe Lee didn’t over think things quite as much as she assumed.
Shaking her head slightly, she met his gaze. “Why Captain.” Her hand slid down to his ass while she threw her leg over his thigh. “I think you can count on it.”
