Chapter 4

"Don't Lee." Kara interrupted him, knowing what he was going to say next. "There is no reason to feel guilty. We both needed this. We've always pushed each other's button just because can. With everything that has happened, let's just chalk this up to needing to find a release." The water still spraying over the both of them was steaming coming off their hot skins, washing away the sweat of the physical activity, but not the memory.

Lee watched her for a moment. "So you're saying that it was just sexual frustration." He waited until he saw her nod in agreement. "So now we can move on and go back to friends again. Is that right?" Another nod. He wasn't sure he had understood. He had just been inside of her and now she wanted to go back to being just friends. Could he do that? Lee stared at Kara incredulously.

Kara suddenly looked at him wide-eyed. It hadn't occurred to her until that moment that sex might ruin their friendship. To be truthful, she hadn't really thought much beyond jumping and seducing him. Recently, she had a one-track mind regarding Lee, but that was now over. It had to be. Her heart was pounding in fear now, not lust. Her blood was screaming through her veins in terror, not desire.

"You think that we can't be friends now." Kara whispered, afraid of the answer, afraid he felt that after, this there was no way they could be friends again.

We may have our ups and downs, but we get through them," he paused, "eventually." As Lee's eyes took in her naked flesh, the hunger stirred within him again. It was a one-time thing he kept repeating over and over in his mind, hoping that his body would start to listen before he made this situation worse. She only wants this one time.

Lee managed to rise slowly, turning to look down at her with unsteady legs and unsteady heart. He reached out a hand which Kara gripped firmly as he pulled her to her feet, electricity flowing through their fingers where they touched. Their bare flesh almost touching, Lee forced himself not to take that one step so they would be flush against each other again.

Kara looked from their joined hands to the man in front of her, his blue eyes seeming to burn into her very soul. She was drowning in them, and for a moment, Kara didn't want to be saved. Unconsciously she moved toward him, drawn

"Lee?" She whispered, her voice husky, her body reacting to him again. Kara

could feel the heat rising from Lee's skin while her hands itched to reach out and run her fingers over that smooth muscle again. It seemed like it was never enough for her, and her need got stronger with each little touch.

Lee watched Kara's face flush again with arousal. He could feel his body hardening. He clenched his fists at his side to stop himself form taking hold of her shoulders and pulling her to him, attacking her mouth with his. More than anything, he wanted to lay her back down on the floor and explore every inch of her flesh. "Kara." His voice was deep and sensual.

"So friends right." Kara said suddenly, shaking herself from the sensual spell and moving to stand under one of the other showers. She desperately needed a little space. Lee seemed to crowd her even though he wasn't doing anything.

"Yeah, right. Friends." Lee stood under the other shower and began to wash, sneaking glances at her when she wasn't looking. Unconsciously memorising her, every little detail that he could. It obviously didn't mean that much to her if she could just turn it off like that, Lee thought bitterly, but she was right. This couldn't happen again.

Kara couldn't believe that she wanted to kiss him again, to touch him again so soon. The sex should have satisfied those feelings. "It's because of what just happened, it's fresh in my memory." She muttered to herself.

Lee turned to her. "Did you say something?" He asked absently, mind more concerned with getting out of the shower before he did something really stupid like slam her against the shower wall again.

"What? Uhh no." The female pilot shook her head, water droplets flying from the tendrils as she did so.

"Well ok, I'll see you later." With that, Lee hurried out of the shower room hoping he looked calm while deep inside he had to force his legs to move. The desire to stay there and take Kara into his arms was strong.

Once out and into the changing room, Lee breathed a sigh of relief. When he was near Kara, all his senses seemed to be over powered and it was starting to become suffocating. Closing his eyes, he rested his head on the cold metal locker but all he could see was Kara moaning his name, her head thrown back in ecstasy, her eyes closed as he pounded into her.

"Damn." Lee muttered. He had to stop this and concentrate. Lee dried himself off quickly, throwing on his clothes trying desperately not to think about the woman in the shower. How her body reacted to his simplest touch, how she screamed his name when she came. Unbidden, a purely male smile appeared on his face. Despite the emotional turmoil, at this moment, Lee felt as if he could do anything. If a fleet of Cylon ships came, 'bring em on', he would take them on all by himself.

Lee stalked to his office, his body language screaming, and "Look at me!" I'm a man, I can take on the universe!" He walked straight and proud through the door. The people who saw him stopped and stared. They hadn't seen this in him for a very long while, so it was good to have Captain Adama back, the CAG, and the leader.

Kara slumped under the spray of the water, her hands rubbing the soap all over her body, her eyes closed. She had watched him as he walked out the door and the back view was just as good as the front one. Instead of him leaving her Kara's inner desires conjured another scenario. One where she could still feel his hands touching her, his voice whispering in her ear. His hard body pushing against her soft one. His blue eyes staring into hers, reading her every thought, every want, every need.

Lee had known instinctively known where to touch her to make her body sing for him. The way he slid inside of her made her feel whole, complete. Deep in her subconscious, Kara had known sex with Lee would be good. He never did anything half way. Normally his only problem was over thinking but in this case, it seemed he had let instinct take over. Kara was amazed at how good it was with Lee. She had always thought he'd be gentle, but was she happily mistaken. He had whispered exactly what he was going to do, how he was going to take her hard and fast. Kara's breath caught in her throat as her memories started to overwhelm her.

Kara was abruptly pulled out of her fantasy when she heard voices coming into the shower. Quickly, she turned off the water and headed toward her locker, thoughts still dwelling on Lee. As the voices continued in the background, the subject of conversation caught her attention.

"Did you see him just now?" Said one female voice in a whisper.

"Yeah, looks like the CAG is back, which I am so glad to see." Replied another.

Kara listened intently while lacing up her boots.

"Gods, I don't care what I would have to do to be able to explore what's underneath his clothes." Said the first voice in a dreamy tone.

"Get in line! There is a whole list of people who want to see that…and more! A lot of the women flirt but he doesn't seemed to be interested so far. It only makes them want him more!" The second voice giggled.

Kara quietly opened the hatch and headed down to the hangar bay. Which women wanted him? Who flirted? Her eyes narrowed in annoyance, Lee wasn't a toy and they couldn't have him. Kara stopped suddenly. She couldn't be jealous! No matter what had happened, no matter how she felt deep inside, Lee was her best friend and that was all. She had better remember that.

Days quickly turned into a week, and Lee had been more aware of Kara then ever before. They outwardly acted as if nothing had changed, but it had. At least for him. He could sense exactly when she walked into a room no matter how many other people were there. Lee caught himself going out of his way to search her out. What the hell was going on? He had to force himself to remember that they were just friends. The cravings for more were supposed to have been satisfied. Instead, the feeling were still there, maybe even stronger He wanted to touch her as often as he could, just a brush against her arm, moving hair from her face, a pat on the shoulder, anything just to feel her under his fingertips. It wasn't the same desperate sexual hunger, although the gods knew that was still there. Now it was so much more, and he didn't understand it.

Lee felt that now familiar tingling up his spine again and knew that Kara had just arrived. He turned and saw her saying something to the chief, smiling at something he had just said. Lee stopped breathing. She was breathtaking literally. Then the woman of his dreams turned toward him, caught his eyes, and smiled at him. Then it hit him. Frak. He had fallen in love with her. What the hell was he going to do now? Kara didn't want him like that. She had made that abundantly clear. Was he going to be able to keep this from her? Lee instinctively realized he had no choice. If he wanted her in his life and if friendship was the only way to have her, then he had to hide his realization. He smiled sadly at her; he could see the confusion on her face. He needed to get out of here. He needed to be able to breath.
