Summary: Cameron sees Sarah struggling in her sleeps and decides to intervene.

Rating: M (some strong language)

Sarah moaned in her sleep as nightmares plagued her subconscious. The bed sheets were twisted around her limbs and her hair covered her face in a blanket of curls. Cameron stood at the end of the bed watching as the eldest Connor tossed and turned. A particularly loud groan caused Cameron's brow to furrow. Cameron had watched Sarah sleep many times before, she had memorised the crease of her brow as the nightmares took hold of her, she could even recognise how close to waking Sarah was from the way her body reacted to her unconscious turmoil. She had never seen Sarah in so much distress while sleeping. As another moan escaped Sarah's lips Cameron made her decision.

Sarah woke with a start as she felt a weight pounce on her. Her eyes snapped open to find Cameron straddling her. "What the fu-" "You were in pain." Cameron explained, not understanding why Sarah looked so mad at her. Her eyes were smouldering with frustration and her fists gripped the bed sheets so tightly her knuckles were turning white. "I decided to help."

"You can get off me now." She growled through clenched teeth, trying to keep her last ounce of composure.

"You are still afraid." Cameron frowned, unsure why Sarah's nightmares were still causing her distress.

"No. I'm not." Sarah tried to push the cyborg off of her, but found the deceptively slight girl to be unmoveable.

"You are." Cameron argued. "Your heartbeat is twice the rate it should be, you're taking in an extra six breaths a minute and your pupils are wide." Sarah dropped her gaze, staring intently at the bed sheets.

"I'm not afraid, Cameron."

The resolve in the older woman's voice forced Cameron to reassess the situation. Her eyes were still smouldering, staring intensely at nothing in particular, her chest was rising and falling rapidly, her skin was slick with sweat and her entire body was tense beneath Cameron's frame. "No, you are not." Cameron agreed. "You are aroused."

Sarah growled, trying to dislodge the cyborg from her midriff. "Get off."

"You get off." Cameron grinned, using her knowledge of slang to try and impress the older woman. Sarah froze, images from her dreams haunting her barely conscious mind.

Nimble fingers brushed over sensitive flesh, causing Sarah to hiss. Her nipples were painfully taut as the other woman pinched one before moving her hand lower. "Oh God Cameron-"

"You're sexually attracted to me." Cameron's statement brought her out of her daze. "Would you like to have sex now?"

"No!" Sarah's eyes widened as the other girl's hands went for the waistband of her trousers. Cameron sat back, looking confused and slightly hurt as Sarah slapped her hands away.

"I don't understand, your body shows signs of arousal, the logical thing to do is have sex."

"No." Sarah shook her head, sighing as she slumped back down against her pillows. "It wouldn't be logical. You're a girl, and a robot…and you're supposed to be my step-daughter…and there is nothing logical about me wanting to fuck you."

Cameron grinned, leaning forward to graze her lips against Sarah's. "See you do want to have sex." Sarah groaned, pulling the covers over her head.

"Out." Sarah grumbled, refusing to lift the covers until the weight lifted from her chest. Sighing she pushed the covers away and glanced at the clock on her bedside table. Three AM was far too early to be thinking about a cold shower.
