Title: The One Where They Lust

Pairing: Laura/Lee

Rating: In a world where it's a little over R but not quite NC17 what is someone to do. Ladies and gents R17 is invented, the happy medium between showing a little skin and being downright x-rated.

Author's Note: Be gentle with me. This one takes place a couple of days after TOWTD.

Laura was in her rooms reading the book that Adama had given her when there was a knock on her door. Setting down the book she knew who was standing outside without even opening it, Lee.

"Come in," she called putting a place marker in the book and setting it down on the nightstand

The door opened and none other than Lee Adama walked hesitantly into her quarters shutting the door behind him.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Certainly."

Lee edged closer to her but remained standing, "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Kissing you. That was incredibly inappropriate of me and I don't know why it even happened and…"

"I already told you that I wasn't upset with you."

"I know but…"

"You are attracted to me," Laura interrupted with

She said it as both a statement and a question and Lee faltered a moment.

"Yes."

Laura stood and walked closer to Lee, "It's okay Lee."

"It is?"

"We can't help who we are attracted to."

"No I don't suppose we can."

"I in fact, am attracted to someone too."

Lee's stomach dropped at hearing these words. He knew she was attracted to his father. Damn! Laura watched the emotions going over the young man's face before her. She saw the conclusion that he'd come to in whom she was attracted to and was he ever wrong.

"You…you are," Lee stammered

"Very much."

"Uh who is it if you don't mind me asking?"

"I don't mind you asking. In fact you know him quite well."

Damn it Lee screamed in his head. Lee was so busy cursing his rotten luck that he wasn't aware of Laura's movements until he felt her take his face into her hands. Startled he looked into her eyes and saw his answer.

"Me," he squeaked

"You."

Lee opened and closed his mouth but nothing came out and he shut his mouth with a snap.

"But…you…I…"

To shut up his stammering Laura pulled his head down to hers and kissed him soundly showing him just what she meant. At first he was too stunned to do anything but then he kissed her back just as passionately. At first it was gentle and full of exploration but then the kissing grew more frenzied and heated. They started yanking articles of closing off.

"Careful," Laura remarked into his mouth as Lee started removing her jacket, "I only have two of those."

After this statement Lee gently removed her suit jacket and hung it on a chair behind him. He then returned to kissing and undressing the woman before him. Once they were naked he laid her down on the bed. She once again took his head in her hands and had him look her in the eyes.

"It's been a long time for me."

"Me too."

"It's been longer on my part so just go slow at first."

Lee smiled at her and pecked her on the nose. He positioned himself and slowly entered her letting Laura get used to his size and girth. She gasped and arched against him. Lee remained motionless for a few moments allowing her to adjust.

"Go," Laura gasped

Lee slowly started sliding in and out of her but when he felt her start pushing against him he knew it was time to pick up his pace, which he did with a soft chuckle. He went faster and faster and when Laura wrapped both her legs around his waist and locked her ankles together she pushed him even further in eliciting a groan from them both.

"Mustn't be to loud," Laura gasped

Lee nodded against her shoulder realizing that even though the walls were made of steel they weren't very sound proof. He pumped faster and harder for a good while longer until he felt that they were both on the edge. Changing his angle inside of her he saw her eyes roll in the back of her head and then look back at him.

"Come on," he whispered

He felt her walls starting to contract and then he yelped when he felt her touch him where he was entering her. Looking at her he saw a mischevious sparkle in her eyes as well as lust. Her rubbing him as he entered and exited her was enough to send him over the edge. He was trying to wait for her. Both knew the moment that it happened and they kissed long and deep to not shout out in their release. Once the orgasm had subsided they lay together, still joined, panting.

"Wow," Lee gasped

"I agree."

Lee pulled out of her and lay beside her, "That was something."

Laura smiled, "Something special."

She pulled the blankets from the bottom of the bed up around them, "No regrets?"

"Not one. You?"

"Zero."

Lee smiled broadly, "Good to hear."

Wrapped in each other's arms they soon fell asleep but woke some time later by insistent knocking at the door. Laura was the first to wake and glanced at her clock. 0615. Who would be knocking at this hour? Getting up Laura tried not to wake Lee and put on a robe. Going over to the door she opened it slightly so that whoever was there didn't see her bedroom any. She was certainly shocked to see commander Adama at her door.

"Commander to what do I owe this visit so early in the morning and so very unannounced?"

"I needed to talk to you about something."

"This couldn't wait to a more decent time of the day? Like noonish?"

"No."

"Fine. I'll meet you in my office in say ten minutes."

Before Adama could respond she shut the door in his face effectively cutting off any response that he could have made. Weird. Inside her quarters Laura turned to see Lee staring at her.

"What do you suppose my father wants?"

"Heck if I know."

"This means you have to leave?"

"Yeah. Don't you have duty soon too?"

"Yeah."

He said this as if it was the last thing he wanted to be doing and with such a pout on his face that Laura had to laugh.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Yes."

Lee through the covers off of him and advanced toward her. Seeing the look in his eyes and how certain things were rising to attention she backed up until her back hit the door.

"I have to meet your father in ten minutes. I should get ready."

Lee smiled wickedly, "Ten minutes huh. We can do a lot of things in ten minutes Laura."

She gulped at the look he was giving her as he pressed his body to hers.

"Do you want to see what we can do in ten minutes," he asked in a low husky voice

Not being able to speak she could only nod her head as Lee decided to prove all the things he could do to her in ten minutes.

Adama was sitting rather impatiently in Roslin's office waiting for her to come. She had said ten minutes and it how now passed the twenty-minute marker. He was about to get up and leave when she came breezing into the office.

"Sorry I'm late commander an emergency arose that I had to take care of," she managed to say with a straight face and without blushing…much

"Nothing to serious." Adama remarked not noticing one way or another.

Laura sat in her desk, "No, everything was settled."

"Good."

Laura leaned back in her chair and gazed upon him, "What can I do for you commander?"

"I wanted to discuss with you the change that we made to the fraternization rules."

And there it was Laura thought with a grin let's see what he does with this one.

"You want to change the decision that we made that would mutually benefit our people in their very survival?"

Adama flinched slightly at the wording that she chose, "Not change…amend."

He watched as the smile she'd been attempting to hide behind a hand came out. There was a look in her eyes behind the sparkle of amusement that he couldn't quite decipher.

"You wish to amend that decision?"

"Yes."

"Do tell," she asked leaning further back and lacing her fingers together in her lap

"I think it would be best if we set limits on who people can fraternize with so as to not cause undo harm to the chain of command."

Laura raised an eyebrow at this, "Undo harm to the chain of command? I see."

"Right so…"

"Commander," Laura interrupted, "If you have something you would like to discuss with me do so. We will not change that decision because you cannot accept certain…things as fact," Laura remarked interrupting the commanders' evasions

Adama didn't respond for a moment and then thought 'what the hell', "Are you attracted to my son?"

"Very much."

Adama faltered because he wasn't expecting her honesty. Laura leaned forward in her chair.

"You wouldn't be here right now if you didn't know that Lee was attracted to me as well so ask your other question?"

"Are you sleeping together?"

"Yes."

Again with her honesty!

"Was he in your chambers this morning when I knocked?"

Laura leaned back, "I think that this is where this stops commander. You and I made a choice, a choice that we are going to stick with. It's not for purely selfish reasons on my part as you are probably thinking, but for the people."

"But you and him…"

"…Are both consenting adults are we not commander? What we choose to do with our own time is our business. We wouldn't let our relationship interfere with the chain of command."

Adama frowned at the slightly condescending tone of voice she'd used in addressing him.

"Look I just don't want to see Lee get hurt."

"And you think I'm going to hurt him?"

"I know that you have cancer."

Laura sucked in a breath at hearing this, "I see."

"All reports that anyone, including the doctors, write come across my desk."

"I understand now," Laura responds cocking her head to the side to stare placidly at Adama

"Understand what?"

"You're afraid that Lee will get too emotionally involved with me only for me to whither away and die tragically while he could do nothing but watch. Am I right?"

"Crude but accurate."

"I don't plan on dying commander. If, God forbid, that does happen I'm sorry in advance for whatever turmoil this may cause Lee."

Adama frowned at this as Laura smiled suddenly.

"That wasn't the only thing you were worried about with Lee and myself starting a relationship was it?"

Adama looked up at her in surprise.

"Like the fact I'm twenty plus years older than him or the fact that I'm past child bearing years or how about the fact that you always wanted Lee to be with Kara Thrace? Any of those concern you?"

Startled more than he'd care to admit Adama didn't respond to her comment at first. Those were exactly the things that he'd been thinking ever since he realized that Lee and the woman before him were attracted to one another.

"Have you and Lee discussed these things?"

"To a certain degree," Laura answered

That was true enough. Lee had told her how his father always wanted him and Kara together and how he didn't care about their age difference. Children, on the other hand, were never mentioned between the pair.

"What did Lee say?"

"Well for the issue of him and Kara he thinks of her as a sister and anything else to him is just gross."

"Really?"

"Really. Lee told me before I could even make a comment that he didn't care about the age difference."

"What about children?"

Laura sighed, "He's okay with not having children as long as we're together."

Adama knew a lie whenever he heard one but didn't want to push on the matter.

"Was there anything official that you wanted to discuss with me commander?"

"No."

Laura stood indicating this was the end of their conversation. Adama stood as well.

"You should talk to Lee commander. Perhaps you will learn some things from him."

"Perhaps I will. Good day madam President."

"Good day commander."

Adama left the room and Laura dropped down into her chair with a sigh. Billy came into her office just then.

"Did I just see commander Adama leave?"

"Yes he had something he wanted to discuss with me."

"Are you okay?"

"I try not to let him get under my skin."

"That's not what I meant," Billy responded softly

Laura looked up at him, "I know. I'm fine Billy. Honestly I'm feeling excellent."

Billy smiled widely, "Good."

Later that day Lee went to go see Laura and when he entered her office she saw her banging her head on her desk.

"Long day," Lee asked shutting the door behind him

Laura stopped with the banging and looked up Lee with a smile, "The longest."

"I bet being ambushed by my father first thing in the morning didn't help any."

"Not in the least. Were you ambushed by the good commander today?"

"I was in fact."

"Was your conversation as enlightening as mine was?"

Lee sat in the chair in front of her desk, "What did you discus?"

"He knows that you and I are together."

"I gathered that from the 'I…she…well…okay' comment that my father gave me."

Laura laughed, "Sounds like fun."

"He asked me if I wanted children."

"That was one of his big concerns with me too."

Lee sighed, "I do want children Laura but I want you more."

"Is that so?"

Lee nodded, "Besides I'm on some very powerful suppressors that would prevent such things from happening."

"Me too."

"Why didn't you tell me you have cancer?"

Laura's eyes widened and she looked over at him in surprise.

"My father told me. I think it was his way of discouraging me from being with you."

"I was going to tell you I promise. I just didn't know how."

Lee got up and went around the desk. He pulled her chair out from the desk and turned it to face him. He knelt between her legs and looked up at her.

"It's okay Laura. I understand how you didn't want to tell me. Everything between us is so new and you didn't want to unduly hurt me."

"That's still no excuse to not telling you that there's a good chance that I could die."

"You aren't going to die."

"I'm not planning to."

Lee grinned, "Good to hear."

With this he got up on his knees and kissed her deeply.
