Chapter Seven

Jessica looked up from the commander's typewriter when she heard voices on the other side of the door. One she recognized as the guard's.

"Frak." She groaned with annoyance when she heard the other voice. She didn't even bother hiding her glare when Lee Adama walked through the door. "If you're here to give me more schedules you can stick 'em up where the sun don't shine cause I'm not done with these yet." She snapped lowering her eyes back to the keys.

"No kidding." Lee said eyeing the stack of papers next to the typewriter.

Jessica's eyes lifted to his again. She bit back a moan at the sinful blue of his eyes.

"Was there something you wanted?" She asked curtly.

"We've found a water source." He explained looking down at her curiously.

"Captain, I'm psychic, not deaf. I heard the announcement. If that's all you came to say you can turn that sweet tushie around cause I really can't stand to look at you right now." She felt a surge of self disgust at the compliment and watched his cheeks flare crimson at her reference to his posterior. Then his eyes narrowed at her.

"Is there something in particular that you've got stuck up your butt this morning?" Lee asked her.

"You don't want to be friend's right?" Jessica asked. "This is me being 'not friends' with you. Are you done?"

"The commander asked me to wait in his office for him."

"Why don't you call him your father? 'My dad asked me to wait in his office.' " Jessica asked. That got him to shut up.

He leaned against his father's desk and Jessica try to ignore the scent of him that was too damn good to be ignored. Click...click...click...click... Jessica tapped away at the keys until Lee's voice broke in again.

"What are you doing?" Lee asked. When Jessica allowed herself to look at him again, she wished she hadn't. He looked all too amused.

"Baking a cake." Jessica replied sarcastically.

"I've never seen typing like that before." Lee said shaking his head.

"Then you're in for a treat. Watch closely." Jessica tossed back, then went back to her one finger search for the right key. Click...click...click..."Dammit, where the hell did that 'g' go?"

"You are the worst secretary I've ever seen. Come here, give me your hands." Lee ordered and without an invitation grabbed her wrists and splayed his fingers out on top of hers over the keyboard. Jessica jumped at the heat of his skin over hers.

"Oh, this is a bad idea." Jessica warned him. Lee heard her, as shown by the slight tenseness of his fingers over hers now, but he didn't acknowledge her warning. To do that would be to admit there was something to be worried about.

"There, now fit your pinkies over the 'a' and the 'l' follow the other three fingers on the letters next to them." His breath was in her hair and Jessica fought not to sag against him. She shook her head trying to gather her will power. She meant to turn and tell him that his father had already tried to explain this to her. But when she turned her head and came up mere inches from his mouth, fast and hot sexual images of where he would put that mouth filled her mind.

"Ohhh...maybe casual sex is the way to go here." She blurted out in suggestion. They both snapped apart at her words. Lee's hands jerked off of hers and he stepped back so fast he knocked his father's stapler off the desk. Jessica reached down to pick it up, hoping to hide her flaming face, at the same time that Lee did and when she righted her self, stapler in hand, it collided with Lee's forehead.

"Ow, frak!" He scowled as he pressed his fingers to the broken skin that was now a thin gash of seeping blood.

Jessica tilted her head for and stared at him for a moment. "Huh. Isn't that the height of irony?" She pointed out. "I finally hit my target and it's on an accident."

"I'm glad you're amused." He scowled pressing the heel of his hand over the cut.

"Oh, you big baby, I hardly broke any skin. " Jessica got up and reached behind him for the box of Kleenex. She stepped between his thighs and removed his hand from his forehead.

"Lords, woman. I haven't been as in a constant state of physical injury in my entire military career as I have been in the few months you've been on board." Lee reminded her.

Jessica stared at him indignantly, then realizing the truth in his words, burst out laughing. It was the sweetest sound in the world when Lee joined her. She dabbed the dots of blood away.

"Well, at least this time, I'm sorry." She assured him and was once again, drawn to his blue eyes. Their laughter died away and their eyes held. Jessica's breath came up short when Lee's eyes lifted to her mouth. "Do it..." She whispered, her nerves trembling as his lips parted and he moved his mouth closer to hers. Then Lee's hands were on her hips. He wanted to kiss her. She could see it in his eyes and hear it in his thoughts. He wanted to just take a moment and forget everything but how right her mouth felt against his. When he kissed her, he didn't have to think, worry, struggle, fear. His entire being was all encompassed by just her, and Lee craved that oblivion.

"Yes, I want you to, Lee." She murmured, senses sharpening as his hands came up along her waist. "I dream about it, this, you." Jessica admitted leaning her face in closer so she could feel the barest touch of his lips. "Every damn night...always you..."

His eyes were hungry, his mouth hot as he nuzzled his lips against hers, just barely a kiss. Again...again, he teased. Tested. Afraid but wanting.

"Yes...yes..." Jessica shivered pressing herself against him. He gave a slight tug on her waist, pulling her closer and captured her mouth in a kiss that had them both shaking, but neither one pulled away. Jessica gave a soft moan in the back of her throat that could have been either triumph or defeat, depending on what facet of her mind she listened to.

Lee's lips were liquid fire against hers and Jessica was about to reach up and cup his face when the sound of the door opening had them both jumping back as if scalded.
