Summary: Kara got her ten favors…now it's Lee's turn. A follow up to Day two's Fic: Learn…picking up during the triad game.
18 - Lee looked like he was focused on the cards he was holding, but his attention was really on the foot in his lap doing wicked things to his body.
ATTENTION
True to his word, Lee showed up to play triad later that night. He wasn't sure how she was managing it, but Kara's prediction that he'd end up winning ten favors was almost a done deal. Costanza had just folded and Felix appeared to be ready to do the same.
Lee looked like he was focused on the cards he was holding, but his attention was really on the foot in his lap currently doing wicked things to his body. Apparently Kara wasn't going to wait to start delivering on favors. He shifted his position to throw some cubits in the pot to make his bet and Kara picked that moment to squeeze enticingly with her toes.
Lee flicked a warning glance in her direction, but Kara only smirked knowing he wouldn't say anything. And of course, he wouldn't. He settled back in his seat and waited for Gaeta to ante up or get out of the game. Lee's gaze landed on Kara again when Felix tossed his hand on the table indicating he was done.
Scooping up her cards, Kara looked from them to the pot and back again. "Well, damn. Looks like I don't have enough to see your bet." Raising her eyebrows, she picked up her last cubit and held it up. "How about I use this and throw in ten favors to sweeten the deal." She added her other foot wriggling her toes in his lap and the smile on her face could only be described as wicked.
Lee had to give Felix credit…there was no way he could see what Kara was doing, but it was like one moment he was casually watching the exchange and the next he was out of his seat hustling Hot Dog out of the room…not even letting Costanza stop to grab the full bottle of booze he'd won two rounds back.
Keeping his cards in one hand, Lee let the other one drop to tease at Kara's toes. "I'll take that action and call it." He laid down his cards, showing an impressive 3 on a run.
Kara smiled and placed her cards one by one on the table. The entire hand was so bad that Lee knew she had to have thrown away something decent to acquire it.
He shook his head. "That's one ugly group of cards, Kara." He sucked in a breath and grabbed both of her feet when she tried to dig in with her toes. "Stop it." Dislodging her feet, he scooted a few inches away from the table.
Kara playfully shoved the cards across the table. "I had to work hard to get a hand that bad."
Lee laughed. "Should I consider that favor number one, then?" Tilting back in his chair, he reached back to grab the Hot Dog's alcohol.
Kara tucked her feet under her thighs to sit cross-legged on her seat. "Nah…you know I wouldn't. Why should you?" She shoved her empty glass toward Lee thinking a couple of drinks might be good…for both of them.
She normally didn't like to take time for games. But the lead up to getting her favors from Lee showed what taking things a little slower could accomplish. Watching as Lee gradually figured everything out had kept her primed with anticipation. Now it was his turn and she hoped she'd set it up for him to push past his own limits. Not only would it be wildly fun…but every once in a while Lee would completely surprise her by doing something unexpected…like being very good at massage.
She watched him pour two drinks then lift his glass. "To fulfilling favors." Kara smiled slowly and raised her drink to return the toast.

Four drinks later, Kara thought maybe it was time to move things along. "So…time to get started, don't you think?" She lifted her tumbler, draining the contents then turned the glass upside down. "Unless you can't think of anything on the fly." She winked, showing that her words were meant to tease.
Lee snorted. "Says the person who took two weeks to call hers in." He leaned back in his seat. "Did you really think I'd show up unprepared?" He tapped his head with his index finger. "I've got a list right here…no need to worry."
A slow smile spread across Kara's face. "Sorta like a 'to do' list?" She barely suppressed a shiver of anticipation…knowing he'd thought things out.
The look in Lee's eyes became almost feral. "Oh…it's all about doing, Kara." He spoke softly, his voice rough and sexy.
Kara couldn't hold back a shudder this time. Her notion that she'd have to push Lee past his limits was quickly replaced by wondering if she'd bit off more than she could chew.
She couldn't wait to find out. "What's first on the list?" Did she really just blurt that out?
Lee raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment. "Think of a place where we won't be disturbed…" He paused as if calculating the time. "…Until tomorrow's afternoon shift change for CAP." His lips curved upward in a smile.
An answer immediately came to mind. "Visitor's quarters. C Deck." Kara made a move to rise, but sat back down abruptly. "Wait…don't you have early watch in CIC?" She was more let down about the idea than she should be.
Lee shook his head, grinning broadly. "Not anymore." He rose, extending his hand in invitation. "Nine more to go…shall we?"
Kara reached forward, letting Lee pull her to her feet. Her gaze met his and she nodded. "Let's go."
*****
Standing outside the visitor's quarters, Kara patiently keyed in the override sequences to open the hatch. Lee was at the end of the causeway keeping watch. It might be a great thing to have the master codes and a memory for numbers, but the fewer who knew that fact the better. Entering the last set of digits, Kara cleared her throat to signal Lee, quietly opened the hatch and stepped through.
She heard Lee enter then dog the hatch and she shivered a little when he stepped up behind her, his hands skimming up her arms before coming to rest on her shoulders.
As he gently nudged her further into the room, he surprised her with a random comment. "Let's see…I'm gonna go with a wager."
Kara shook her head, not sure she understood…Lee's hot breath in her ear made it difficult to focus on the words. "What?"
"How you got the codes, Kara" His lips grazed over her neck as he spoke.
Ah, she was on the same page now. "Right…it's something like that." She didn't want to talk…she wanted to be working on the list. She turned in Lee's arms, giving him a shameless look. "Gotta keep some things secret, you know?"
Lee's eyes told her she'd get to keep that one…but not much else would remain hidden from him. She didn't mind the idea as much as she thought she would…and that freaked her out a little. Time to get things back on track.
Lowering her head, she glanced up at him through her lashes. "You said something about a list, right?" She smoothed her hands down his chest. "We can cross off item one…and move on to number two?"
A predatory smile spread across Lee's face. "Ah, yes…I've been looking forward to the second one since the shower." He stepped around Kara, walking a few steps to perch on the edge of the bed.
Since the shower? Kara liked the sound of that.
Turning toward Lee, a grin on her face, she moved forward and bent her head, which put her mouth barely an inch away from his. "Mm…sounds fun." Her lips caught his in a quick kiss that ended with her tongue snaking out to dart over his bottom lip before she slowly backed away. "So…what's this thing you've been looking forward to?"
Lee's gaze started at her bare feet and traveled slowly upward until it reached her face. "Actually numbers two through ten involve you and me in some very compromising positions."
Her blood heated at the hungry gleam in his eyes. "Really?" She drew the word out, as if she was skeptical that he could come up with that many all by himself.
He took her by surprise when he grabbed her by the hips and pulled her to straddle his thighs. "Yes…really." His eyebrow shot up, daring her to keep going.
Kara wisely decided not to.
Because the way Lee said it, confidently, made it sound hot. Like he already had every single way they could have sex mapped out in his mind and knowing him…he just might. And that had a coil of need spiraling right to her core.
Sliding backwards, she stood up and tugged Lee to his feet. As she leaned in to mesh her lips with his, her hands dropped to unfasten his pants. Lee returned the favor and together they let their garments fall to the floor, kicking them out of the way after they hit the deck.
Breaking the kiss, Kara crisscrossed her arms in front of her and lifted her shirts over her head. Lee followed suit by reaching over his shoulder to yank his off, dropping them on top of his pants. He moved forward to slide his fingers under the elastic of her bra, teasing along the underside of her breasts. Kara shivered and quickly removed it as well.
Lee's hands moved up to cup her breasts, lowering his head so his tongue could flick over a nipple. Kara's back arched and she moaned, her hands shooting out to grasp Lee's shoulders, fingers digging in, holding on for balance as Lee went down on his knees. Moving his hands around to her back, Lee hauled her closer then trailed his fingers down her sides to dip beneath the waistband of her panties, removing them with ease.
Ghosting kisses over her tummy, he slowly stood back up to meet her lips for a searing kiss. Kara smoothed her hands down his chest then skimmed them along his sides to push his boxers off his hips and down to his thighs. Giving Lee a playful shove, she sent him back on the bed to land in a sprawl while she dropped down to pull the underwear the rest of the way off.
Lee sat up and drew her forward, lifting her to straddle his thighs again. Toppling them backward, he turned until they were sideways on the bed, his hands molding her to his body. "I think we need to get started on number two, don't you?" He slid his leg between hers, his hand moving to press against the curve of her behind sending shudders through both of them.
Instead of answering, Kara trailed her fingers down Lee's chest, skimming over his stomach to grasp his erection. Hot and hard, it filled her hands. Sitting up, her lips followed the same path as she maneuvered herself between his legs.
Leaning forward, her tongue swirled over the tip of his cock and the hissed out breath he made was satisfying to hear.
Glancing up, Kara grinned at him. "I think we might be adding a few numbers to that list of yours." Lowering her head, she slid her mouth over his length, dragging a groan from him while his hands fisted in the sheets.
The reward for losing on purpose was worth it sometimes.
