This just came out of the need to write some more smut - it's been such a long time! A few 'teasing' scenes between Lee and Kara happen, and I guess we'll see exactly where it takes them ...

oooooooooooooooooooooo

'The Massage'

Kara came huffing and puffing into the pilots rec, having just finished her run. She stopped and panted for a moment, leaning over to ease the stitch in her side. Suddenly she pitched forward and lay face-down on the floor.

"Hey Starbuck, you okay?" A concerned voice floated across the room.

"Mmm," she replied, face buried in her arms. "Tired."

"That happens when you do five laps around the ship," Kat said, looking up from her cards.

"Mmm."

"Boy, you're really coherent today Starbuck," Lee teased. "Good thing you're not teaching a class." He smirked over his clipboard.

"Coherent. A three syllable word. You're really smart Apollo," Kara said sarcastically, lifting her head up to look at him. "Much too smart for me."

"Who here didn't know that already?" Lee asked of everyone in the room. That earned him more than a few chuckles. He'd found that earning respect on Galactica wasn't easy, till he'd realized that besting Starbuck was an instant winner.

Kara's eyes narrowed. "Frak you," she said quietly.

"You wish," he answered, even more quietly.

Her body stiffened but she didn't look up. "I need a massage," she said loudly several minutes later. "Anyone want to volunteer?"

"Ew, you're all sweaty," Hotdog replied, wrinkling his nose.

"Oh for frak's sake, it's just a little sweat! Don't you sweat when you exercise?"

"Stop arguing will you?" Lee threw down his clipboard and straddled Kara, sitting on her firm buttocks. "I'll do it if it'll stop you whining."

"I'm not whining," she protested.

"Argue and I'll stop," he threatened, making as if to get off her. Dead silence. "That's better." Lee put his hands up on her shoulder blades and began to massage, leaning his weight into it.

"Ohhh," she moaned, letting out a long breath. Her eyes slipped shut and an angelic smile appeared on her face as she relaxed.

Lee smiled as he felt her relax, and dug in deeper. She really was sweaty - the back of her tanks were soaking wet. He felt an instant surge of desire spike through him at the thought of her being sweaty because of his ministrations. Not now Lee, he berated himself. Knowing your luck, Kara will point out to everyone how much you enjoy touching her and you'll never hear the end of it! Getting a hard-on while massaging your friends back - how juvenile! But Lee could hardly help himself. He'd longed to touch Kara for as long as he'd known her - always felt a primal desire for her though he knew he shouldn't - on so many levels too. But one couldn't fight nature, and nature was telling him he wanted to mate with this woman - now!

Her moans of pleasure weren't helping any though. I wonder if she's as vocal in bed, he wondered idly, then gave himself a mental smack as his erection grew. Time to think of other things! He looked 'round the room to see who was about and if anyone was paying them any mind. Didn't seem so - thank goodness - as Lee could feel his cheeks burning hotly.

"Gods you have magic hands," she said softly, moaning seductively.

"You wanna see what else these hands can do?" It slipped out before he had a chance to censor himself. His cheeks flamed.

Kara stiffened for a moment then relaxed again. "You wouldn't," she challenged.

Lee stopped his movements on her lower back and slid his hands up to her shoulder blades. Then he leaned down suddenly, dropping his hands gently down the sides of her breasts and resting them on the ground. He allowed himself to lower fully till he was laying on top of her, knowing she could feel his erection pressing against her back.

"Oh yeah?" he whispered in her ear.

She shuddered beneath him as goosebumps rose everywhere. She turned her face towards him. "You'll have to show me sometime," she whispered.

Lee smiled coyly, then got up off her. "All done Starbuck - we'll have to continue this another time," he said, loudly enough for the room to hear him.

She grinned. "I certainly hope so Apollo. You give one hell of a good massage!"
