Kara reached for her alarm clock but no matter how many times she hit the thing, it wouldn't stop buzzing.

Frustrated, she rolled over to bury her face in her pillow, only to run into two-hundred pounds of warm male flesh. At the sight of Danny's bare back, memories of the night before flooded Kara, bringing a smile to her lips. Any concerns that she might have had about the chemistry between the two of them fizzling once they were back in civilization, rather than stuck on a boat with fifty-four women and one hundred-and-sixty-five men and absolutely no contact with the outside world, last night had laid those to rest. After four months of seeing Danny in various states of undress, Kara thought she knew every inch of his body. But touching him, tasting him, even smelling him as they explored each other at their leisure had told Kara how very wrong she was.

It was an experience she planned to repeat again soon.

As the buzzing sound began again, Kara tried to figure out where it could be coming from. Struggling to sit up, she found herself perched on the edge of her bed. Her queen size bed had always felt perfectly adequate for her needs, but at the moment Danny was taking up four-fifths of the space, his feet hanging off the end, covers tangled up beneath him. Pinpointing the source of the noise, Kara leaned back against her pillow, waiting to see how long it would take for Danny to answer his phone.

Fifteen minutes later Kara gave up, slipping her arms around his shoulders, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Are you planning on getting that?"

"Hm?"

Danny turned over abruptly, twisting until she was beneath him, the sheet tangled between their bodies. He leaned down to give her a thorough kiss. "Good morning, Lieutenant Foster."

"Good morning, Lieutenant Green." Kara wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him down for another lazy embrace that was interrupted when his phone went off again. Kara poked at Danny's shoulder. "Someone really wants to talk to you."

Grumbling, Danny took one look at the screen before pressing the red button of death and switching the phone to silent. "It's Frankie being an ass. We usually go to the gym together when we're on leave."

"Don't change your plans for me," Kara replied. Despite her disappointment at the thought of Danny leaving so early, she understood that he must have things he needed to take care of. After four months away it took Kara over an hour just to go through her mail - and that was with Debbie prescreening it for junk. Danny probably arrived home to a stack five times as large. And then there were the million other little things that needed to be done after an extended absence.

"Frankie can go to hell," Danny murmured, tossing the phone to the side and settled back into his former position, dropping light kisses along Kara's jaw. "I have plans for today and they do not involve spending time with my nosy roommate."

Kara smiled, pulling his head back to hers for a lingering kiss. "You'll have to go back to your place to get some clothes eventually. None of my stuff will fit you."

Danny's head rose, and Kara could have sworn that he was blushing. "Actually, I, uh, have some stuff in the car. Not that I assume we would, or that you would want to, I mean, I just wanted to have some things just in case …."

Laughing, Kara cut him off. "Smart thinking, Lieutenant. Now, where were we?"
