Ch 29

When they'd regained their composure from the giggling fit, they all filled in some of the missing details until they'd reached a measure of satisfaction that everyone was all right. Lee and Kara told Lauren a few of the things they'd had to go through but they seemed to have a lighter air than Lauren's tales. Then they moved on to the topic of how they could make the two ships actually work together. Lauren was doubtful that either Taylor or Admiral Cain would be excited about having the Galactica's style of command adopted and Kara especially bristled at the idea of Cain commanding them all.

Lee asked her a few more pointed questions about Cain's style of command and then he began pacing once more. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts so Kara turned to Lauren and asked her some more personal questions about the Pegasus and the time Lauren had spent there.

Lee turned back to them just as Lauren finished answering something Kara had asked. He saw her lower lip begin to tremble as if she was very upset and then a single crystal tear slid down her cheek.

"Lauren, what's wrong?" Kara asked, concern filling her voice.

"I just…you can't imagine how much shit I've gone through these past few months and I never…I couldn't…" she finally broke and a hiccup of a sob burst from her.

Kara reached over and pulled her friend into a warm hug. Then Lee came and sat himself behind Lauren, wrapping his arms around both of the women he loved. They stayed like that for a time, taking comfort in their friendship and just being close to each other. Lauren's sobs filtered out of the middle of the group and she eventually leaned her head back into Lee's shoulder. When she'd quieted down again, Kara rose from the box and began straightening her uniform.

"I think it's time for me to leave you two alone for a bit. I'm pretty sure I can keep people from looking for you for a while but I'm not sure how long so if you intend on getting your joy on, you'd better do it fast."

Lee smiled at Kara, knowing full well that what she was doing would mean he owed her a very large favor. It was worth it though if he could spend some time, however brief, with Lauren. Kara went to the hatch and was twisting the lock open when Lauren thanked her as well and then they were alone, the door locking behind their friend as she left.

Lee pulled her up to her feet and slid his arms around her waist. She smiled up at him and lay her head on his shoulder again, breathing in the warm scent of him. His hand reached up and stroked the soft silk of her hair, tangling in her braid and pulling a few strands loose. Lauren reveled in the closeness of him, delighted at the fact that she was able to hold onto him again after so long of thinking him gone forever. She tilted her face up and he covered her lips with his own, gently drinking her in and feeling the warmth of her spread through him. Her hands snaked down under the uniform jacket he wore and up to caress the soft curves of his chest. Then she reached for the buttons and began undoing them as she continued to delight in his mouth. She slid the jacket off, hearing the heavy material fall to the floor, then allowing her hands to began searching for his soft skin under his tanks. She kissed him deeper, devouring his mouth like a starving person eating at long last and she slid his tanks up to his chin.

While she was ridding him of his shirts he was untying the bunched flight suit around her waist and unzipping it the rest of the way so it pooled around her feet. He felt the pressure begin to build in his groin as he bent down and struggled to get her out of her boots. He smiled up at her as he finally removed the second one and reached up to slide her underwear down over her hips. She stepped out of it lightly and pulled her shirts up over her head so she was naked before him.

He admired her beauty and the changes in her body from the long months of fighting and defending herself. Her muscles were more finely toned now and he wondered if she could look any more tantalizing than she did right now. His hands ran slowly up her legs and she sighed as he leaned in closer to her. Then he pushed her legs apart so he could better reach her core. His fingers slid up and into her hot moisture and he realized how excited she was. His smile was wicked and when he looked up at her she knew that he was as turned on as she was.

His tongue flicked over her opening, sliding through the sweet crevices and hovering over the small bud that made her moan. How he'd missed her spicy taste and he lapped at it eagerly. Lauren leaned her head back and almost lost her balance as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her. She felt her need growing stronger and she bunched her hands in his hair, trying to get him to stand up and fill her as she had longed for. He was busy enjoying her taste and he stayed before her, lapping at her and sliding his fingers to where they would please her the most. All to soon she cried out and he reached behind her to steady her as she shook with spasms of enjoyment.

He chuckled as she looked down at him with a devilish gleam to her eyes and she curled her hands under his arms, lifting him to his feet. When she had him on his feet again, she licked at his lips, tasting herself and him mixed in a delightfully sweet cocktail. Then she knelt before him and pulled his shoes off, as he had done for her. Her fingers found the button on his pants and then the zipper, slowly tugging the metal down she teased him. When she was ready for him, and not a moment sooner, she pulled his pants down and off, watching as his full length danced in front of her.

He sighed as she licked along his leg, upwards, tracing circles and nipping as she went. Sliding her hands up she caressed his leg, then the thigh, and eventually up to the soft sac that hung there. She'd reached the top of his thigh with her tongue and now she was facing his cock, licking her lips in anticipation of the salty sweetness of him. She licked along the underside of his shaft, slipping his head into her mouth where she sucked gently, eliciting a deep moan from him. Then she sucked him in as far as she could, massaging him with her tongue as her hand did the same below.

He knew that he wouldn't last long if she kept this up so he cupped her chin with his hand and tried to raise her back to her feet but she wasn't ready to release her prize yet and he shivered as she sucked and licked at him. He was almost to the limit of his control so he reached down and pulled her to her feet.

"Hey! I was having fun there," she pouted at him.

"Well I was too but I can't hold on much longer. I need to be inside you Lauren. I've waited too frakking long." With that said he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to a row of boxes by the back wall. He set her gently on them and climbed up next to her, drinking her in with his eyes and stroking her soft skin with his hands. She wanted to be in control of this so she laughed while she pushed him down on the platform, straddling him and looking at him with all of the love she'd felt for him pouring into her smile.

He rested his hands on her thighs and looked up at her, begging her silently to let him in so he could feel her warm depths. Lauren smiled and shifted around, wiggling her hips at him, dropping herself down over his hard length then flitting away again as she teased and tormented him. Finally, he'd had enough of her teasing so he grabbed her ass and pulled her into place over his cock as he lifted his hips and sought her opening. When he felt the warmth engulf his head he shoved upwards, impaling her on him.

She moaned and leaned backwards as he filled her and she began to rise up and gently slide back down on him, relishing the sweet feel of him stretching her. They ground themselves together in a rhythm that was steadily becoming more frantic. Lauren felt the waves of ecstasy begin to pull her under and she tried desperately to hold out a little longer but she couldn't. Her groan was followed by a sharp hiss and she raked her nails down Lee's chest as she arched her back in pleasure. This brought Lee's orgasm crashing over him and he pulled her down onto him so he could fill her completely as he shuddered and moaned.

Lauren's head rolled on her shoulders as she came back to herself and she lay her body over Lee's and listened to the frantic beating of his heart. He wrapped his arms over her, pulling her tight against him and smelling the clean scent of her hair mixed with the tangy scent of their lovemaking.
