RESURRECTION SHIP 2
Lee stood with his arms wrapped around Kara. They'd just had 'the' conversation and he tried to let the realization of what they had to do wash slowly over him. He promised to have Kara's back for the secondary mission.
And he would.
Regardless of whether he thought assassinating an Admiral was a good idea or not.
An argument could be made that he’d held a gun to the head of a superior, but he’d counter that his decision had been spur of the moment and not likely to result in the actual shooting of said officer. But this…this was cold-blooded, order or not. And of course, Kara would be loath to refuse since it was the old man who did the ordering.
And Adama knew it.
It wasn’t lost on Lee that he’d been dismissed before his father gave Kara the go.
And she'd tried to give him an out.
Which he scoffed at.
As if he’d ever let her go it alone on something like this. And her response?
She thanked him.
That alone, told Lee she wasn’t as okay as she pretended to be with the order.
While his brain warred with itself, he drew her closer. The Pegasus should have been their salvation. Instead it was their curse. Every single officer on board was armed while on duty…it was a requirement.
He and Kara should be talking about all the new options they had with another battlestar, not standing together, holding of for dear life.
But they wouldn’t be discussing game plans…there were none.
Neither would come back from this.
They’d never make it out alive.
Stepping back, his gaze slowly met Kara’s. The knowledge was there in her eyes. So was acceptance. She would give her life to end another.
And he would give his so she could.
Wrapped in that knowledge, Lee didn’t speak. Moving his hands forward, he cupped Kara’s face. Her gaze didn’t waver from his as the moment stretched out between them.
Slowly moving his hands to rest on her shoulders, Lee took comfort in hers resting on his hips. Neither spoke as their eyes held, saying things they’d never utter aloud.
This is it.
Kara’s hands slid forward to undo the buckle of the holster Lee wore and removed it, heavy with its side arm. Still looking levelly at him, she didn’t blink when he followed suit. The sound of both weapons thudding softly to the floor was loud in the quiet space.
No turning back.
Lee’s fingers trailed lightly up Kara’s arm before settling on the top most button of her uniform. He caught the gleam in her eye before she mimicked the motion. The breath hitched in his throat right before he slid the button loose from its slotted opening. The line was crossed, stepping back no longer an option.
We’re gonna do this.
With her eyes flaring hotly, Kara took it as a challenge to get Lee’s shirt undone first. She shoved the fabric off his shoulders just as he was undoing her last button. His eyes went dark and she shivered when the air hit her skin, his warm hands gliding over her back as she shrugged out of the sleeves.
It won’t be easy.
Lee knew it would be easier to get Kara out of her pants if he’d just look to see what he was doing. But he couldn’t tear his gaze from hers. Lost in their smoldering heat, he didn’t want to. So he struggled briefly but won out in the end and finally eased the fabric past her hips letting gravity take care of the rest.
Never is.
Her pants hit the floor and Kara stepped out of them to stand nude in front of Lee. In a weird way she felt like he was seeing her for the very first time. The look of wonder on his face sent a warm flush through her body and her fingers trembled slightly as they reached forward to try once, twice to get his pants unfastened. Still holding her gaze, Lee stopped their progress and took over until he was as naked as she.
We don’t have much time…
Lee’s fingers traced the lines of Kara’s face before capturing her chin to tilt her head slightly. A sense of urgency hit him as he realized their time would be short. His head descended until their lips touched then meshed together hungrily. Kara’s hands gripped his hips as they molded themselves together, sinking to their knees…need consuming them.
In a tangle of limbs they jockeyed for position ending up on their sides facing each other. Kara drew up a leg and wrapped it around Lee, drawing him closer as her lips scorched up his shoulder. Her hand followed the same path and giving him a small nudge she pushed him back and angled on top of him.
With Kara’s hips straddling him, her mouth moving over his skin, Lee knew neither of them would last. They didn’t have the luxury of time on their side and it was his only regret. He wouldn’t contemplate the rest…the mission, the order, the execution. His head rose to meet her lips at the same time she slid over his cock and everything but the feel of her slid away.
Wrecked with the knowledge they’d only have this one moment, Kara wanted to take her time. But she found she couldn’t as her hips rocked back and forth of their own volition. Her lips never left Lee’s skin as they traveled over his chest, along his shoulders, his jaw and finally back to his mouth.
Lee’s hands glided over Kara’s skin memorizing every curve, peak and valley. Fingers sliding along her spine, she had him gasping for air before her mouth closed over his, tongue thrusting inside stealing what was left of his sanity. The feel of her…warm, soft, fluidly moving against him…was beyond anything he’d ever experienced. His hands went to her head, golden strands cascading over them as her hair worked free of its holder.
Coming up for air, Kara was awed by the love she saw in the deep blue gaze staring up at her. She wanted to look away, didn’t know if she could handle knowing what she knew now, but she couldn’t do it. Her hips rocked harder as friction built, fueled by awareness and the steady thrum of the push and pull between them. The tension was almost too much and her head lowered, lips crashing against Lee’s, as a slow throb started low in her belly and hummed along her nerve endings.
Lee felt the moment she shattered. Gasping against his mouth, she tossed her head back, riding out the orgasm her lips clamped together against making a sound. Face framed by a blonde halo, hips grinding hard, Lee thought she looked like a warrior goddess. Fierce beauty combined with wanton abandon. It was his last rational thought as she clenched tightly around his cock and he came, surging inside her, gasping her name on a strangled whisper as she collapsed against him.
With her heart pounding and Lee’s arms around her, Kara tried to remember how to breathe. Her eyes slid shut and she thanked the gods for giving her one perfect moment. Then she railed at the fates that would take it all away in a few hours. Brushing her lips over Lee’s skin, she lifted her head to stare down at him, wanting to burn his image in her mind.
Feeling Kara shift, Lee opened his eyes and sucked in a breath. The naked love on Kara’s face sent his mind spinning. He couldn’t remember ever feeling as content as he did at this moment. His gut clenched when he realized he’d never feel it again. Not ready to let go, his hands drew her to him for one last kiss.
Friendship, passion, love…goodbye. All were in the kiss as their lips moved, spoke, and laid the truth open between them. They lingered together far longer than they should, but neither was ready to let go.
In the end, it was Kara who broke the spell, knowing they had to get moving or risk being caught. She pulled away reluctantly, gazing down at Lee again, wishing they had more time. Her eyes said what her voice couldn’t speak.
We gotta go.
As much as Lee wanted to hang on to the moment, he knew she was right. He’d give anything to fight back reality and stay with her until they were old and wrinkled. It made his heart hurt that he couldn’t stop what was already in motion. Holding her gaze, he nodded his head, accepting the truth.
I know.
Sitting up, he didn’t let Kara slide off his lap like she wanted to. Instead he leaned and kissed her one more time, hard and fast, then let her go. Standing up, he snagged his clothes and dressed thinking of what lie ahead. There was one last possibility that could get them out of this madness. He could attempt to reason with his father, make him explain the order, maybe sway the odds back in their favor.
Kara dressed with care, mentally preparing to meet with Admiral Cain. She ruthlessly scraped her hair back into its ponytail, trying to convince herself she could meet with the woman she’d been ordered to kill and not give anything away. Doubt weighed heavily but when she turned Lee stood with his arms folded, frank approval on his face. She flashed him a smile and knew she’d be fine in front of Cain.
They stood toe to toe, not touching physically but wrapped in each other just the same. Turning together they made their way to the corridor, Lee to go catch a shuttle and Kara to play nice with Cain. Both had their heads in the game now, momentum propelling them onward. By unspoken agreement they went their separate ways but both turned back to look at each other one last time.
Lee nodded almost imperceptibly.
You know I love you right?
Kara winked back at him.
Right. Love you, too.
