Chapter 7

Do They Know?: Chapter 7

"This is wrong," she whispered.

Lee froze in mid-glide, looking up in confusion.

Smiling, Kara continued, "You still have all your clothes on."

Groaning, Lee let go of Kara's arms and regretfully left her warmth. Kara instantly felt hollow inside. Ripping off his tanks, she began unbuttoning his pants as Lee kicked off his boots. Sliding his pants off, Kara slowly made her way back up his body. Kissing him through his regulation underwear, Kara felt herself being tugged at.

Standing back up, Kara leaned in for another kiss, but not before giving him a quick squeeze. She saw desire burning in Lee's eyes as he pulled off her underwear and quickly stripped himself as well. Pulling Kara lightly off the ground, he lifted her left leg, which she quickly wrapped tightly around his waist.

Never breaking eye contact, Lee entered Kara with one quick thrust. Her breath caught in her throat as he slowly found a rhythm. Whispering his name, she heard him moaning hers as he thrust deeper than she ever thought possible.

Grabbing Lee by the back of his head, Kara pulled him close. "Gods, Lee. Oh, please…" With that begging, Lee picked up his pace, feeling Kara begin to shutter against him. Opening her eyes, Kara spoke softly, but with no shaking or hesitation, "I love you, Lee. Gods, I love you so much." Holding on to Kara tighter than before, Lee smiled as she broke around him.

Slowly coming down from the high Lee gave her, Kara tried to steady herself against the wall. As he continued to thrust, digging his fingers into her hips, she opened her eyes for a brief moment. Standing before them was Lee's wife. If Kara hadn't been pinned up against the wall, she would have jumped. As it was, she wished she could melt into the wall.

Looking at Dee, for what felt like an eternity, but was mere seconds, made Kara oddly calm. Dee's eyes went from rage, to sorrow, to acceptance in the blink of Kara's eye. Closing her eyes, Kara took a deep breath. Opening them again, Dee was gone. Almost as if she had never been there at all. Shaking her head, Kara re-focused on the man in front of her.

Completely oblivious to the event that occurred just seconds before, Lee was busy kissing Kara's neck, closing in on his own peak. Finishing with a final thrust, he looked up into her eyes. Hoping that this was the beginning of a new start (and possibly a new survivor), he whispered into her ear, "I love you, too."

Grinning like the school girl she swore to Helo she wasn't, Kara replied, "Glad that's settled."

Separating from each other, Lee bent down to pick up their clothes. Kara stopped him in mid-stoop, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Lee, she was here," said Kara as she pointed down to the floor near the bulkhead. Lying so small, was a glint of gold. Picking up Dee's ring, Lee wrapped his arms around Kara.

"Now she knows," he whispered in her ear.

"Yeah."

"Does everyone know?" asked Lee.

"Pretty much," said Kara smiling devilishly.

"That certainly makes things easier," replied Lee, as he embraced her, giving her the first of many more kisses.

THE END?
