Kara had been sitting in the brig cell for over an hour before they brought in the reason she lost control, and with a small laugh, she stretched her arms out, "My home is your home, Lee."

Kara had been sitting in the brig cell for over an hour before they brought in the reason she lost control, and with a small laugh, she stretched her arms out, "My home is your home, Lee."

Lee's hand came up to rub his sore jaw. "Frak off, Kara."

"Oh come on!" she yelled, jumping to her feet. "You can't tell me you're actually mad!"

"You fraking punched me. No warning at all. Just bam! I'm laid out on the floor."

Kara was surprised to see that he really was fuming inside. He was pissed off at her, that bastard.

Lee watched her face twist into that sly smile that he knew meant danger was ahead. She pushed off her bunk and crossed the cell to stand at the bars that separated the two of them. Smirking, she leaned in. "I had to think fast because someone insisted upon kissing the frak out of me where we could easily get caught. It's not my fault that Socinus needed that spare part at the exact second your hormones got out of control."

"There were a lot of better solutions than punching me."

"It was either punch you and go to the brig or wait until the gossip circulated and have Tigh order us here because we broke about a hundred regulations. I chose the one that would only get us a few hours in here rather than making the brig our permanent residence." Kara reached through the bars to touch the side of his face. "Because you know as well as I do that once word about our relationship gets out, there are going to be tons of people claiming they saw us public displaying our affection. We'd be down in these cells almost twice as much as we'd be free."

"You're a pain in my ass, Thrace," Lee argued even though the way he leaned into her touch was contrary to the meaning of his words. "I should never have let you seduce me."

Kara's eyes narrowed. "If I remember correctly, you were the one doing all the seducing. I was just trying to get my reports written in the peace and quiet of the observation deck."

"You were the one that kissed me."

"You were the one that started taking my top off."

"Only because your hands were in my pants."

"You put them there."

"Only because you were begging me to let you touch me."

"I don't beg."

"I beg to differ."

"Frakhead."

"Frak-up."

"I hate you."

"Hate you more."

Kara and Lee's eyes both shifted to the Marine guard at the same time. Kara gave him a small wave and turned back to Lee. "How long do you think before the Old Man busts us out of here?"

"An hour more, maybe two."

Kara nodded and looked at the Marine again. "Right. So…"

"So…"

"You might want to do something about that," she paused to point down to his very noticeable erection, "before the Old Man comes to lecture us on setting a good example."

"Frak," Lee hissed. He had one too many arguments with Kara that ended in fraking, and now this happened every single time she started yelling. He moved away from the bars and flung himself on the cot in his cell.

Kara had to fight back a laugh as she heard him trying to take deep, calming breaths. She slid her arms through the bars and smirked. "You think the Marine could be persuaded to let me into your cell? I could take care of that pretty quickly for you."

Lee held his middle finger up for her to see without opening his eyes.

Kara chuckled and pushed off the bars. She laid down on her own cot and shut her eyes. The Marine would wake them up when the decision on what to do with them finally came in.

"What are you doing?"

Lee's voice cut into her thoughts, and she opened one eye to see he was staring at her from his cot. "I'm trying to figure out if I can rearrange my schedule so that you and I can have a little time alone tonight."

Lee rolled his eyes and laid his head back down on the cot's small pillow. "As long as you don't end up hitting me again."

"Don't be a baby."

"Don't be a tease," Lee shot back.

Kara smiled. It was nice to have Lee here to keep her entertained. You could only do so many push-ups before you started losing your sanity.
