Kara Thrace walked onto the flight deck and looked around nervously. "Cally, have you seen Captain Adama?"

"Yeah." The young specialist called back. "He's over there talking to the Chief."

"Thanks." Kara walked over to where the two men were standing and stood quietly until Lee noticed she was there and cut off the conversation with Tyrol.

"Hi." He said softly, looking her up and down.

"Hello, Sir." Kara replied curtly. "We need to go over training evals."

His eyes got wide and a huge grin spread across his face. He then noticed Tyrol's puzzled and curious look and quickly quashed it down. "Sure." He replied seriously.

They walked back to his office and as soon as she closed the door he had his arms around her and was kissing her neck.

"Gods, I missed you." She breathed out as she ran her hands through his hair.

"Likewise." He mumbled.

"I know I just saw you two hours ago, but we haven't been like this since yesterday, and I missed you." She smiled embarrassingly. "That's really ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Completely." He chuckled as he nibbled on her ear.

"Um, Lee?" She started hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"I know you're gonna think this is the irony of all ironies, but……" She chewed her lip apprehensively as he started to unbutton her shirt.

"What?" He pulled back slightly and looked at her.

"We really DO need to go over training evals." She laughed. "I just saw your father and he wants them by the end of the day."

"Later." He kissed her hard on the mouth and pushed her to where she was sitting on his desk.

"Lee….." She groaned. "Come on. This is important." She whined unconvincingly even as her hands started to unbuckle his belt. "When this whole thing started we agreed that we wouldn't shirk duty and I really think that………OH MY GODS, I love it when you do that!" She gasped as he licked a path from the curve of her shoulder to just below her ear.

"Noticed." He teased as he brushed his lips over her temple.

"You're being remarkably concise with the words, Captain Adama." She said as she placed a kiss on his chin. "When did that happen?"

"Yesterday." He grinned as his hands danced up her sides.

She lowered her head sheepishly and closed her eyes, remembering the way his face lit up as the words 'I love you' had fallen out of her mouth when she was with him the last time. "So, you liked me saying that?"

"Definitely." He raised her head back up and kissed her eyelids.

"Well," She wrapped her legs around him. "In that case, maybe I should do the talking more often."

"Okay." He stroked his fingers up her spine.

"But Lee?" She pecked him lightly on the lips.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think that when I speak to you, you could respond with something more than one word phrases?" She chuckled as she moved her lips across his cheek.

"Yes." He laughed.

"Oh yeah?" She teased, looking directly in his eyes. "Give it a try. It doesn't have to be a whole long speech, maybe just, oh I don't know…………two words."

"Kara?" He breathed before a sweet smile spread across his face.

"Yeah?" She grinned back as he traced a finger down her cheek.

"Me too."

THE END……..for good this time.
