Disclaimer: I do not own, I just play in their world.

The rest of the day is a blur as Kara takes care of registration for the ship, scheduling the repair on the FTL, even if they never use it. She manages to go to the grocery store and is home in time to change her top into something a little more revealing.

The black shirt no longer matches the blue pants and thus Kara is forces to redress everything. She puts on a pair of red slacks and admires herself in the full length mirror when the phone goes off. Its Leoben, he's at the front door. She buzzes him up and moves to touch up her make-up. He knocks on the door softly. She sprints barefoot to the door, still not having a decision on shoes.

"Well don't you look spifftacular." She says opening the door for him to step into her place. He looks her up and down and smiles bringing her close to him for a kiss. "Hey you're supposed to wait for the end of the date." She flirts with him. The shirt she is wearing is open down to where her sternum ends. She had to tape the shirt to herself so it didn't fly away when she walks. He defiantly noticed the shirt and he brings two fingers up to trace lightly between her breasts. She shivers and moves away from him. "If you keep that up, we won't be making it to dinner."

"You should have thought about that before you put that shirt on. Are you trying to make yourself more distracting?"

"What do you think, oh head-shrinker man?" She calls out from her bedroom. "I just have to pick some shoes and then I'll be ready."

"Of course you're trying to distract me." He whispers to himself, knowing its going to be hard to get through dinner.

"Alright, I'm ready." She says grabbing her bag. She snorted softly at herself for being such a girl sometimes. The back of the shirt is just as appealing as the front of the shirt. As she slips an arm under his, his moves to the opening in the back of her shirt and his thumb plays with the soft skin exposed there. "So where are we going?"

"This little place just up the street." He remarks angling her down the sidewalk. The sidewalk is liked with large trees that are beginning to cast shadows on the city as they walk. There is a slight breeze and he realizes that she is going to freeze dressed like she is. "You're going to freeze." He notes.

"I live on a spaceship; I think I'll be fine but thanks for the concern." She laughs quietly to herself. "How's business?" She asks, not really knowing how to start a date.

"It's booming. Its amazing the amount of money people will pay you just to listen and nod."

"Wow, that's my type of job. Damn. I should go into that." She laughs knowing he does much more than that.

"You sure you could keep from punching your clients?" He teased her as they arrived at the restaurant.

"Wow that is close." She comments as he holds the door open for her. "You're just doing that so you can check out my ass aren't you?"

"What? No. I was trying to be polite."

"Well I'm not that kind of gal." He laughed at that comment.

"You're not like any kind of gal." He comments as they're seated.

"What made you come back to Caprica?" She asks over the initial drinks.

"I'm not sure." He looks at her and sighed. "It feels like home. I just felt like I was being called back here." He shrugged.

"Wow, for being a head shrinker you're not really up with explaining your own feelings are you?" She says almost accusatively.

"Admittedly I am much better at diagnosing other people's problems than I am my own."

"No kidding." She sips her drink and decides to move onto less uncomfortable topics. "This is your life then, huh?"

"Not completely. I can leave whenever I'd like but for now this is it. I feel like I'm doing some good here."

"Can I ask you something personal?"

"Sure."

"Why are you so comforting?" She leans across the table. "I haven't let my guard down like this for years."

"It's the voice." He jokes with her before answering her seriously. "It's a talent I've always had, but it seems to work both ways with us. Usually I feel detached about my patients but I feel embroiled and yet comforted just looking at you. It's almost like I've met you before."

"Maybe in another life?" She suggests.

"Maybe. I have no idea but I know exactly what you're talking about. It might help that I've already seen you naked." His eyes glinted at the possibility and she stuck her tongue out at him. The rest of dinner conversation fell back to anecdotes about their pasts.

"And one time in flight school I got caught frakking the second best pilot in the class in my viper. I was in hack for almost a week." She finished one of her raunchy school stories. He was laughing so hard tears sprang to his eyes. "Well, shall we head back?" She offered. She gets up from the table and moves outside to the sidewalk, noticing that he was right, it was a bit chilly out. She snakes an arm under his coat and pulls him close for the warmth.

"Are we going back to see your pet hamster?" He comments after a moment as they meander back towards her place.

"No." She says solemnly, "My penis." She cracks up at her own joke and he moves his hand along her side purposely tickling her for the comment. She smacks at his hands and he swings her around to face him and stops to plant a passionate kiss against her lips. She gasps as his hands move up and down her back.

"Alright then, let's go check out your penis then." He comments moving her back to his side so they can walk the short distant to her apartment.

They manage to make it inside the door of her apartment before she's on him. She slides her hands under the jacket and down his back, relishing the warmth of his back against her palms. He bends and captures her lips with this while his hands move to tangle in her hair. His tongue strokes her lips and it makes her pulse jump. He moves his mouth across her cheek and down her neck and leaves tiny little kisses down the opening of her shirt. She gasps and pulls his lips back to hers with his hair. He growls at the sensation and moves his hands over the front of her, trying to move his hands inside of her shirt.

"Ouch." She says pulling back.

"What?" He looks concerned.

"Tape." She gently pulls the tape way from her body and off of the shirt. He laughs.

"I've been wondering about that all night." He said moving his arms back around her. He attacks her with more passion, sliding the shirt off of her shoulders as he gathers her up in his arms. Her hands roam up his back feeling the heat he's giving off of his skin.

Before long they're naked in Kara's bed. She sits on top of him and slides herself along his shaft and watches his face as he writhes for her. His hands lock in hers as she leans forward to kiss him. She shifts her hands to grasp his wrists and he moans as she takes further control. She moves her hips up so the tip of him is poised to enter her, then moves back quickly pulling her lips off of his but keeping his arms locked in her grasp. He truly begins to struggle, to try to hold on to her as she rides him, but Kara's years of military training on restraint kick in and they battle one another as she moves her hips.

He over powers her towards the end as she is lost in the sensations of their bodies coming together. He sits up and grabs her hips and drives her down faster and faster, knowing they're both close. He presses her close and groans as she tightens around him.

He feels himself go as she wraps her arms around him. His back is hot to the touch; Kara dismisses it as a job well done.

Hours later she leans against him in her bath tub, soaking in the feeling of having a man wrapped around her. He his rubbing her shoulders.

"If you could have three wishes, what would they be?" He asked.

"What are you a genie?"

"Maybe."

"Well let's see. I'd wish Zak were alive, for a house and a good bottle of whisky." He laughs at the last request.

"I think we can manage that last one."

"What would yours be?"

"My three wishes?" She nods, leaning her head back against him to look sideways at him. "Hum. I'd like a boat, to know my real parents, and to have a family."

"Wholly gods those are some tall orders. What makes you want a family?" She asks quietly as panic sets in. This might just be frakking but she didn't want him looking to her to fulfill those wishes.

"Dunno. I grew up in a large family. I thought it would be nice to have one of my own someday."

"You're the first guy I've ever met who has ever said anything like that to me." He laughs knowing he's making her nervous.

"Alright, I'll change that last wish." He says turning her around. She moves to straddle him hoping to distract him. He slides two fingers inside of her and she sighs knowing the water will be cold before they're finished.

Kara woke up the next day to an empty bed. She rolled around luxuriating waking up in her own bed. There was a note on the pillow next to her. She picked it up groggily.

Kara,

Had to go into work for a few hours. I will be back before noon.

Leoben

She smiled to herself remembering the many escapades from the night before. As she got out of bed she realized she was actually sore. She grinned even wider at that thought and went to make coffee before turning the shower on. After the shower she started the spaghetti sauce for dinner that night, it would take all day to make. She laughed at her domestic habits and went to watch some TV. After a few minutes she got bored and took her coffee out on her deck to sit in the early summer Caprican sun.

Meanwhile Leoben finished up at work and walked slowly down to catch a cab. He thought about bringing her flowers and decided that was far too cheesy. He laughed at himself for even thinking about it. He settled on getting a good bottle of whisky. He called up to her apartment around 10. His heart skipped when she answered the buzz. "Come on up." She said. This woman is going to be the end of me, he thought as he climbed the stairs. He had cancelled all but one appointment, which he'd taken care of that morning, for the next two days, hoping that she would have time to spend with him.

"Good morning." He says somewhat awkwardly as she opens the door.

"Morning." She says standing with the door open. "Well, in or out?" He holds up the bottle of whiskey. "In it is." She says grabbing him by the shirt.

"Wow something smells good." He comments sitting down at the counter as she stirs the sauce.

"Oh yeah. My crew is coming over for food tonight." She smiles as she tastes the sauce. "Frak, that's hot." She comments. "So what's the plan for the day?" She reaches over the sink and offers him some bread dipped in the sauce.

"I didn't really plan anything." He says taking the piece of bread from her. "What is this?"

"Tomato sauce." He takes a bite and nods his approval. "Well I don't need to check on the overhaul until tomorrow, so I was hoping to go to the park and just sit around. Maybe get a good book to read." She moves around the counter and he turns to stay facing her. She moves between his legs and leans into him. "Do you think we'll make it past the front door?" She asks almost brushing his lips with hers as she speaks. He smiles and moves a hand up to tangle in her short hair.

"Not a chance."

The three wishes thing is a shout out to my psychology roommate from college.
