Day 2: Part 2
"I still can't believe the crew caught on" Kate rested back into his chest, the crew having all given up on swimming and gotten back to doing ship duties
"Well it wasn't really a secret Kate" he fiddled with her fingers that were interlocked with hers across her abdomen
"I know but…"
"The whole idea of being discreet was so it didn't get back to NAVCOM"
"Exactly" she turned her head to look at him
"The crew are on board with this Kate would they really disobey our trust by spreading rumours to NAVCOM?" he looked at her sadly
"2Dads maybe" she grinned
"We have nothing to be ashamed about, technically we haven't even broken the rules yet"
"Oh and there it is"
"What?"
"You just want me for my body" she laughed
"Well it is a great body I mean Mmm" he teased
"Mike… things they aren't the same as seven years ago"
"What you've got some secret vaginal piercing or something?" he studied her face carefully
"Have you?" his eyes raised
"No! It's just…" she looked at him sadly
"Tell me" he squeezed her tighter with his arm
"It doesn't matter" she shook her head
"Kate… talk to me" he looked at her confused when she moved out of his embrace to stand
"Come with me" she held out her hand
"Where…."
"There's something I need to show you" she smiled sadly when he moved to stand he interlocked his hand with hers.
"Kate?" he looked at her confused when they entered her cabin
"Would you just trust me?" she let his hand go and motioned to her desk chair
"What's going on?" he sat down nervously
"After you left… I went through something pretty big I um…"
"Kate?" he reached out for her but she stepped back
"Maybe it's easier if I just show you?" she asked his permission
"Okay?" he watched her untie the left side of her bikini bottom dropping it slightly to reveal a lengthy scar
"I had Ovarian cancer, they um… they removed my left ovary"
"You went through this alone?" he teared up
"I didn't have anyone I could confide in, they'd caught it quick and removed it all but every year I have to go back for blood tests and regular checks to makes sure my good ovary is healthy" she closed her eyes when she felt him grip her waist and pull her in front of him
"Kate I had… I had no idea" he slowly ran his thumb across the scar
"It's a part of me, something I can't take back and maybe it makes me less of a woman but…"
"Woah woah hang on, less of a woman?" he looked up at her confused
"I only have one ovary Mike, and the chances of ever having kids is limited to fifty percent"
"Is this what you meant when you said things were different?" he continued to run his thumb across the scar
"If you don't want…" she finally opened her eyes to see him looking across at her
"Kate…"
"Don't just pretend…"
"Can I justify my words before I say them?" he snapped
"I…" she looked at him in surprise
"I'm sorry…. I just, Kate I want you I want all of you one ovary or two ovary's it'll always be you" he pulled her down to sit in his lap
"Mike…" she wrapped her arms around his neck
"I love you, this does not change that and having one ovary does not make you any less of a woman" he rested his hands on her back
"You really are one of a kind" she rested her forehead against his
"Kate I…" he stuttered when she moved her hand grabbing his from behind her back she placed it against her chest
"I don't want to wait…" she bit her bottom lip
"Kate, we made a deal"
"And an hour ago you were willing to break that deal" she grinned
"I want you, but not… not like this we're both emotional and I won't take advantage of you…" he moved his hands and began retying her bikini bottoms up
"Okay" she nodded
"Okay?" he repeated surprised she didn't fight him on it
"Can we just… can we stay here like this for a little while?" she rested her head against his shoulder
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else" he kissed her forehead wrapping his arms around her back again.
'Pulling her head back she smiled when he looked deep into her eyes seeing the depth of their love,
leaning forward slightly he hesitated before meeting her lips in a soft kiss running his hand across her back he rested it behind her head supporting her in place
shifting out of her desk chair he carried her over towards her rack laying her down their lips parted when he shifted to hover above her
"Mike…" she ran her hands across his chest worried at his hesitation
"I love you" he smiled softly moving back down he changed his tactics and began kissing at her collarbone
his hand moving along her arm and interlocking it with hers at the top of her head he slipped his other hand between them tracing it under her bikini bottoms he began teasing her with his thumb
a low growl releasing from his lips when she moved her hand into his shorts…'
"Mike?" he heard her soft voice
"Hmm" he moaned
"Mike?" she repeated again when he opened his eyes slowly meeting with hers
"Hey…" he groaned noticing she was still sitting across his lap in her desk chair
"You okay there sleepy head?" she teased
"What time is it?" he reached up brushing the sleep out of his eyes
"Just after seventeen hundred" she looked at her watch
"We fell asleep?" he questioned his other hand still behind her back supporting her in place
"You did, and you seemed to be having a rather interesting dream" she grinned
"What?" he scoffed with a slight laugh
"Well…" she pointed down between them at Mike's very hard to miss erection
"Oh…" he moved his free hand down covering it
"Want me to help with it" she teased
"Ah no, no I think a cold shower is in the cards for this" he cleared his throat
"You don't have to protect me" she ran her hand across his cheek
"I'm not, we've still got a bet going remember, I'm trying to protect myself from losing" he grinned
"You afraid you won't be able to stop Mr Flynn" she grinned shifting slightly
"Mmm-No I just don't want to lose" he groaned when she pushed against him
"You sure I can't help? It doesn't need to go further than that"
"And have you use that as leverage against me, I don't think so" he tried to hide his moan when she moved off him brushing her hand across him when she arose
"Well…" she began pulling at the tie on her back
"If you change your mind I'll be in the shower" she pulled it off and threw it on the floor before moving into her bathroom but not before Mike got a full view of what he'd be missing out on
"Gawd, you are going to be the death of me" he groaned hearing her soft laugh he quickly grabbed her spare towel off the bed wrapping it around his private area he exited her cabin and raced to his own.
...
"Oh no you don't" Mike held his up when Kate entered the Senior Sailors Mess hours later with her SCRAN
"I'm just here to eat my SCRAN" she grinned sitting opposite him
"Just keep your feet or any other body part to yourself" he watched her carefully
"You really are paranoid"
"Paranoid… Twice now Kate, twice you've given me…"
"It's not my fault you find me irresistible" she took a mouthful of her food
"You better watch it because shore leave is going to be like torture for you" he fiddled with his fork
"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow moving her foot across under the table
"You will not be walking for at least a week"
"Is that a threat Sir?" she brushed her foot against his leg grinning when he jumped
"Stop it…" he moved his hand under the table to cover his crotch
"Kill joy" she rolled her eyes
"I'll make it two" he shifted grabbing her foot
"Hmm-I look forward to it" she shifted around the booth
"Kate…" he dropped her foot
"I'm not sure how much more of this 'Professional' relationship I can take
"Will you stop because if this happens it won't stop…" his breath hitched when she placed a hand on his thigh
"What if I don't want to stop?" she stopped right next to him
"Then you lose"
"By default…" she shifted his hands from his lap before sliding across and straddling him
"Not how it works" he struggled to talk with her face inches away from his
"Just shut up and kiss me" she grinned
"God…" he groaned moulding his lips against hers in a fiery kiss
his hands began to make fast work of her jacket pulling it off her threw it across the room kissing her more vigorously than before while her hands ran through his hair neither noticing the door open slowly
"Hey Boss… WOAH!!" Swain quickly closed the door behind him
"SWAIN!" Mike groaned quickly moving Kate out of his lap and moving to stand Kate giggled to herself
"What?" he looked at her confused
"Um…" she pointed to his crotch where his pants had slipped down to his knee's and he was beginning to get an arousal
"For god sakes Kate…" he huffed pulling his pants up thankful it wasn't a full erection, she reached for her jacket that was on the floor before opening the door
"Is it clear?" Swain stood in the hallway with 2Dads and Bomber all of them had their eyes closed tightly
"Nothing happened" Kate groaned in annoyance
"Well it almost did" Swain grinned
"I'm seriously over this damn boat!" Kate yelled walking past them hitting Swain in the arm for his comment he made
"That's it, I'm taking us back to port" Mike exited into the hall watching Kate storm off
"But Sir…" 2Dads objected
"Or I'll take us to a deserted island whatever we need to get off this boat" he moved back them
"Someone's sexually frustrated" 2Dads grinned
"I'd keep your mouth shut if I were you leader or you'll be scrubbing out the mess with a toothbrush!" Mike yelled down the corridor before entering his cabin to call NAVCOM.
"I get that they have the hots for each other but seriously the Senior Mess" 2Dads screwed his nose up
"Can you blame them? Three weeks on this tub and I'd be sexually frustrated too" Bomber crossed her arms
"Want me to help with that?"
"Gross 2Dads, I don't need to e walking in on anyone else today" Swain scoffed moving down the hall
"Do you really think the Boss is going to get Commander White to agree to some on shore camping?" 2Dads asked hopeful
"Maybe, the Boss can be very persuasive" Bomber nodded
"Hmm, do you think him and the X will share a tent?" he wiggled his eyebrows
"Get your mind out of the gutter" she rolled her eyes and moved further down the hall
"It's a obvious question given what we just witnessed in there" he called after her
"Toothbrush 2Dads, don't let the Boss hear you!"
"Pfft, I'd like to see the Boss try" he muttered entering the Senior Sailors Mess before changing his mind and taking his SCRAN elsewhere.
