Author's Note: This was in answer to the challenge from Suzanne to elaborate from a challenge from Nancy - A rather steamy love letter ends up in the wrong hands. This is my first NC-17 piece. There are more parts planned for the future, but no number is set and they are meant to be standalone stories if need be. Oh and it's a bit sappy, but then again I am a S.A.P.

The corridor was empty except for the two souls that walked shoulder to shoulder, Lee Adama's arm draped around Kara Thrace whose head leaned against the Captain with a contented look. Kara's hand caressed Lee's hard stomach then dropped teasingly downwards into his pants. Her eyes widened followed by a sudden catch of breath as she looked up at him with a sly grin.
"Why Lee Adama are you happy to see me?" She could feel the hardness, heat and pulsing as she grasped him and caressed him. Lee's intake of breath was also very reassuring to her.
"Always Kara." Lee's hand drifted from her shoulder and pulled her closer. "Better stop that or we won't make it to where we're supposed to be going." His voice was rough and Starbuck loved that fact she was the reason for it. She rubbed the warm tip with her thumb and regretfully let go.
"To think I always wanted to lead you by your… dipstick," She laughed and Lee grinned while rolling his eyes.
"I think sometimes you do," Apollo smiled, which changed as Kara forced his back against the wall as she kissed him deeply and hungrily. Her hands ran up and down along his chest savoring the feel of his skin under his shirt. Lee responded by pushing off and forcing her against the opposing wall, his hands rubbing her breasts and nipples.
Kara moaned Lee's name as her hand moved downwards but was stopped short of her destination as Lee pulled back, pulling her with him. She was about to protest when he lifted her up into his arms kissing her deeply and continued on their way. Lee only set her down when they had arrived in front of a familiar door. When Lee unlocked the door, Kara was confused; usually this room was left open and unlocked. Her eyes widened at what greeted them – an emergency crash survival mattress with sheets, a small box and two duffel bags with towels upon them which stood in front of the open astronavigation portal with its dynamic view of space. Kara almost jumped, because once inside Lee closed the door with a loud resonate clang and locked it. She smiled as he grasped her hand and gently pulled her with him. Moving towards the bed and pulling her into his arms from behind so they could look out of the view port.
She could see his smiling handsome face in the reflection of the glass. Closing her eyes she turned around in his arms and pulled his head slightly down to meet hers. She looked deeply into his blue eyes and took a deep breath.
"I love you Lee Adama." Pausing, Kara then added softly, "Love me?" The last part sounded almost wistful and illogical though truthfully even now she was afraid of the answer he might give deep within her heart. Her eyes widened as Lee's countenance turned serious and he spoke clearly and with meaning.
"With all my heart Kara Thrace, I can't help but do that. Do you know why?" His every word seemed to punctuate with every proverbial heart beat that seemed to jump into her throat, vulnerable to him. She slowly shook her head, her eyes never leaving his. A smile crested the corner of his lips. "I have loved you from the very first time I laid eyes upon you. That feeling has never stopped, only deepened." Her eyes welled with tears as emotional knots previously unknown to even her loosened within her chest. Closing her eyes, hot streaks trailed down her cheeks as she ducked her head. Lee gently lifted her face up towards his. His eyes bright with it a warm smile upon his face as he leaned a little closer and she move to meet him, lips locked in a deep sensual kiss, tongues caressing each other slowly.
After a while Lee pulled her down onto the mattress, Starbuck's hands running under his shirt and pulling it off of him. She watched Apollo toss his shirt towards the bags; as she ran a finger tip tracing the muscles in his chest. She looked at Lee to see if he minded the slow down but he seemed as pleased to savor her touch upon his body. She sat up and pulled off her top throwing it absently in the same general direction as his. Cuddling up into his warmth, skin upon skin an intimate contact she could only fantasize about before. Closing her eyes Kara inhaled his familiar wonderful scent on top of everything else that filled her senses bringing the truth that a fantasy could never make it to this level. She felt complete as she had never felt before even with she thought slightly guiltily. `Even with Zack I never felt this way, never thought anyone could feel this way.'
Stretching with feline determination and exaggeration, her arms soon reached around Lee as she began to kiss his body in a trail across his chest and the slowly down as if following an imaginary line only she could see. The curves and ridges of his muscles rippled in response to the touch of her lips and sometimes the tracings of the tip of her tongue. The shivers and the broken breaths from Lee electrified Kara even more as she came to the boundary of his pants. Looking up at Lee she smiled wickedly and started to pull on the waistband of his pants but Lee laughed and shook his head pulling her up.
"I want more too Kara, but let's first slow down so we can enjoy each other," Lee grinned and Kara's smile broadened knowing he wanted more than just sex but she couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't that what we were doing?" She moved into his arms as he sat up and snuggled her head into the crook of his neck kissing his collarbone.
"Well I did bring other items such as wine and some food to enjoy together." She loved the warm tremor of his voice she could feel as she lay against his chest.
"That's not what I'm hungry for Lee." She felt him shudder with a small laugh.
"Oh I wouldn't answer so quickly, look my Love." She smiled at his affectation and looked at the open box. Her eyes narrowed with warm curiosity and she peeked in. Her eyes widened as she laughed warmly, her hand coming up to cup her mouth.
"Chocolate syrup and fresh pieces of fruit." She looked at him. "But how?" The items were rare, the fruit even more so.
"I traded some items that I had brought with me, that could never equal your value to me." At that moment Kara looked up in surprise. She knew he had some old vid discs he had brought with him from the Atlantia that were pieces of moving memories from the warm past of the shattered colonies. Even before the apocalypse they had been rare. She looked up him, her smile gone with the knowledge of what this moment had cost him. She felt Lee's hand caressing her face and he chided her. "They are a part of my past; you are my future Kara Thrace. I have no regrets; please let's make some new good memories." Lee's hand angled her chin up to receive his kiss and Kara's smile blossomed with an intensity that could blind. She leaned over and grabbed a piece of chilled fruit and popped a juicy sweet refreshing piece into her mouth.
"Very nice Captain Adama," Kara laughed holding one of Lee's arms across her chest savoring the warmth that radiates from it. She felt Lee lean across and pull out a couple of glasses followed by a bottle of wine. Soon after juggling around their positions Lee with the help of Kara had partially filled the glasses and recapped the wine bottle. They savored the moments of privacy that were rare now being aboard a Battlestar on full alert. Setting the glasses down, she watched as Lee squeezed a small droplet of chocolate onto his finger and offered it to her. Kara's eyes glowed with happiness as she took the proffered finger in her mouth, thoroughly licking and sucking the rich sweetness from it. "Very nice, now this is the way to live – chocolate, wine, fruit and a virile naked man."
"Half-naked Kara," Lee corrected with a chuckle.
"Only for the moment my dear." To emphasize the point she ran her hand over his groin and immediately felt what she was looking for running her hand along its length.
Kara felt Lee shift and soon she was beneath him looking up, he soon had a piece of fruit covered by chocolate. The coolness of the fruit and the chocolate combination made her shiver as it traced its way around her breasts and nipples. Within a moment she felt Lee's tongue and breath upon her and the tremors really filled her body. His mouth surrounded one of her nipples, licking and sucking the chocolate from it. Then he moved over to the other stopping to run a tongue between her breasts. Her breath caught with every movement of his tongue, every caress of his hot breath. Looking down she saw his eyes fixed on hers, his smile mischievous as he drew a trail of chocolate from her breasts downwards with a promise that made her breath catch. He stopped only to lick away the chocolate causing her body to arch against his.
Lee soon was pulling off her pants and underwear his warm hand caressing the inside of her thigh followed by a kiss so close to her, so very close. He leaning forward and back up so could kiss her lips deeply; the he fed her the fruit he had placed in his mouth. Grabbing another piece and covering it with chocolate Lee moved back down. He ran the piece along her thigh moving upwards in swirls soon followed by the sensation of his mouth caressing her. She could feel his breath along the hair between her legs. Followed by the sensation of the fruit and chocolate, her eyes widened as she felt the chocolate and fruit replaced by his mouth and fingers probing and suckling. Her eyes closed as she savored the sensations filling her. Her Lee was certainly a thorough lover, her body jerked as the sensations exploded within with just the right caress by a finger or his tongue.
"Oh Lee I want you inside me." She paused as a shudder caught her by surprise, her eyes widening. "Oh that's… that will work too." The activity increased her thrashing with onslaught of Lee and her body's reaction to the sensations he was creating. Her back arched as her hands try to coax him closer, deeper. The fluid persistent feeling of his tongue within her coupled with his probing fingers soon rocked her to the core, and a wash of euphoria filled her, she repeated Lee's name over and over barely discernable to her even though the level of her voice pitch had increased for a few moments. Warmth almost ethereal happiness washed over her body in tremors, she took a breath to find a smiling Lee lying next to her, kissing her lips then her temple. "Wow Lee. Umm… I am having hard time thinking at the moment, give me a sec." She felt Lee's small kisses.
"I always believe in ladies first Kara." He chuckled, very happy to please the woman he loved. Her eyes opened and her grin widened.
"My turn Lee." Kara traded places with him, the lines of moisture on her body giving evidence of what had just happened. She grabbed a piece of fruit and tossed it into her mouth. She saw Lee's bemused look and chided him. "A woman's gotta eat you know." The last part came out sultry as she gathered some chocolate with her finger and placed some on his lips then she licked it off. Then her finger traced a thin trail down the side of his throat followed by her tongue. She could feel the excitement of her touch, as her mouth caressed his throat the feel of the pulses of his life, the catch of his breath.
Kara Thrace continued to lick and suck the chocolate trail she was making, moving across his pectoral muscles. She smiles wickedly as she looks him directly in the eyes, and moves up offering him her chocolate covered finger. Lee sucks it clean, and then pulls her up into a frenzied kiss, chocolate smears on both faces. Kara pulls away with a gleam in her eyes.
"Oh I'm not done." She glanced down the length of him towards his pants and Lee's eyes follow the direction of her gaze. "Not by a long shot flyboy." She moved downwards slowly, like a predator on the hunt. She pulled down his pants and tossed them and his underwear behind him. Her hand soon grasped the hot, hard throbbing shaft and she looked at Lee, her grin wide and full of wicked promise. Her thumb rubbed the tip and the pre-cum around the head. Watching as Lee closed his eyes and tipped his head slightly back in reaction. She then reached over and grabbed the chocolate syrup bottle and squeezed some into her hands then running her chocolate covered hands over, around and down his hardness while making squeezing motions rubbing the tip of his cock. She watched Lee's expression of astonishment as the truth of what she was going to do to him. Kara wanted her lover to be aware of her and to know this was reality and not some fantasy to be woken up from. This also wasn't some one night stand for sexual release and to try not to feel so lonely. This was for all of it – her heart, her soul and for his as well. Kara eyes stayed on Lee as she moved down onto to the tip of his cock. Her mouth opened wider as did she noticed Lee's eyes. Her mouth closed and her tongue swirled tasting the chocolate and feeling Lee's heat. Her eyes closed as she savored the taste, the slickness and she felt the heat flowing from him.
As her tongue caressed the head of his cock, she heard Lee moan slightly between closed lips. She felt him shift as he sat up a little to watch her. She soon moved down the length of the shaft as far as she could go then back up, repeating a few times, varying the tempo and suction. She felt his hand running through her hair as she moved up and sucked on the rounded tip, looking up him. She wanted her to feel the love and the lust within her and see him in front and under her, she knew he did. She continued to enjoy the feel of him; his hands went from passive petting to encouraging her. She felt his muscles tighten and looked to see his face. She could see the pleasure and tension knew he was close. His eyes opened and his gripped pulled up on top of him and brought her lips to his. The chocolate on her face soon coated his and Lee didn't seem to notice or care. She could felt the moist sticky line of chocolate trail from where his cock had brushed against her body as Lee pulled to him. The kiss was deep and sensuous. Soon he had turned her over onto her back, his hardness pressing against her.
"I want to be inside you Kara, my love," Lee spoke quietly as he moved into position. The tension in his features began relaxing because of the interruption. The chocolate smears made Kara smile wider especially when she thought of how she must look but Lee didn't care and truthfully neither did she. Kara's eyes widened as she felt the head of him push against and enter her mouth opened as she felt it widening her and pushing deeper and deeper within her. Her wetness lubricating him as he started to pull out then thrust forward, pulling her legs up and bending outwards to give him more access. Her body shook with the thrust of each movement her body shivered with the sensation as her muscles tightened and released his thick shaft. The strain of the sensation followed by the pulsing pleasure, plunging deeper within her and soon the pleasure began to build with each stroke. Her face tightened as she felt the pressure build, looking at Lee's his face and chest gleamed with a coating of perspiration. Kara whispered his name which soon grew into a moan of pleasure.
"Oh Lee, Oh Lee…" She heard him answering with her name. The thrusts were harder and sharper. Driving deeper and deeper, the pulses of pleasure blurred into a stream of sensations burning into her mind and psyche removing all thoughts not related to the here and now and Lee. She barely heard the words though they seemed to be screamed in pleasure barely registering in her mind that voice belonged to her.
Her body tensed up drawing Lee closer and deeper into her. She was so close by the Gods she was so close. She used her muscles to squeeze him as she felt the building tension in him as he thrust deeply into her. She gazed into his luminous blue eyes, allowing herself to be lost in its depths. A shockwave of pure pleasure overloaded her mind and sensuously tore through her body. She stiffened and as tremors of her orgasm swept across her body. Kara closed her eyes feeling as if she was one with the passion of him within her. Lee moved forward on top of her, gently kissing her face and lips while whispering words of love leaving behind a certainty within her that she had never truly experienced before even with Zack which caused a small twinge of guilt to course through her mind. Kara gazed up at Lee noticing his expression was one of guarded hope mixed with an aura of contentment and happiness but he was also waiting for a response from her. Kara smiled and pulled Lee's lips down towards hers. He reached over for the towels and some water to clean off the chocolate before lying back down together.
She felt him holding her more closely, the soft lights of the stars filling glistened at her as she gazed past Lee and looked through the view port as in the distance a viper streaked by. It pulled her back to the present and the current status of the known reality. Closing her eyes Kara's senses took in everything it could of Lee, opening hers eyes to look into his face. Lee noticed the change and his countenance became more serious.
"What is it Kara?" Lee caressed her gently.
"What happens now, Lee?" Silence filled the room as Apollo just looked at her, his eyes narrowed in thought. The quiet seemed to be filled with the hammering of her heart, though Lee seemed calm as if the answer was there right in front of the both of them. "Lee? Starbuck to Apollo… do you read me?" Kara's features were filling with a little irritation which was fueled by worry. She didn't know why or where it came from but Lee's eyes seemed to glitter in some sort of warmth that was out of the place with the current situation. It was time to hit the reset button. "Reality to Lee Adama," afterwards she reflected she could have just tapped him instead of…
"Damn," Lee rubbed the side of his head. "Why does everyone aim for my head?" The blow had taken the mirth from his eyes and replaced it with a little pain and Kara hoped some common sense. At his question Kara couldn't help but smile which was now peppered with a bit of regret for the blind siding, however she needed him there with her now.
"It's soft, a big target," She grinned and pulled him close and kissed the side of his head, "and well… there's not much to damage up there." The last part came out filled with warm laughter that soon filled Lee's features with a bright smile and she knew all was forgiven. That however didn't eliminate the need to know what was going to happen from here on out. "So what do you think Lee? I need to know where we stand… or don't." Her soul was as exposed as her body to Lee; she had laid down all of her cards. This was something she didn't want to spar about – where did she fit in his life. Lee's face became serious, his eyes deep and dark.
"Kara, we are in the same place we have always been. The difference now is that we are admitting it to ourselves and each other." Kara's eyebrows knit in confusion and she watched him take a breath as if collecting his thoughts. "We have always looked out for each other… why? Friendship? We have passed that line in so many different ways, I have hit a superior officer for his suggesting correctly and by the book that the fleet needed to move on and leave you behind." Kara eyes widened at the revelation and Lee looked a little embarrassed. "Then there was your stunt outside Ragnar Station… how long were you planning to stay there and take on waves of Cylons as the Galactica was readying to jump?" Kara's eyes glistened as she looked away, but the gentle pressure of Lee's hand brought her glittering eyes back to his. She remembered the moment back there and truth was that no thought besides staying with Lee until the Commander had called her. "I knew it then Kara Thrace, I wanted you to go back before the ship left because…" His hesitation was telling, his eyes bright with the memory, "…I needed to know you were safe. Instead I knew you weren't even thinking of leaving my side, just the way I didn't want to leave you behind. So many things have gone on Kara and I don't want to go back to the past." Kara's hand caressed Lee's warm sinewy arm, the muscles hardened and sculpted as if from marble.
"I don't want to either Lee, but this is against regulations, you are risking everything including your command." She leaned in and kissed his shoulder before looking up at his face which was usually taut with a knowing look as if he had the all the answers and was only waiting for everyone to catch up to his realizations.
"Risk a career in a fleet that for the most part no longer exists, Kara? Do you think they'll ask one of us to quit the service, to quit flying combat patrols when we are so very low on qualified pilots when there hardly any up and coming replacements?" He shook his head and then kissed her softly on the forehead. "The rules have changed, as have our lives Kara. We are resetting our truths much as the human race must restart its existence elsewhere. You want reality Starbuck…" Lee smiled, "…then think about this – you worry about me giving up everything for you?" He asked and she nodded. "Kara Thrace, without you, I only have my duty to our people and nothing else. You are the reason I look forward to our tomorrows, to our future. I may defend our people, but I fight for you. We'll have to agree to how we do or don't make our relationship known to others, but have no doubts we are together in this."
"What if I screw it up Lee?" Her fear reached out and she felt Lee kiss her temple then her lips.
"Then we will have to try to work it through, and it goes both ways Kara. You aren't cursed and I hope I can keep you enticed with me, if I can't whose fault is it? Both maybe, and I believe knowing what we have in each other will help us in the future. I can't promise you a happily ever after but I offer you everything I am." They lay intertwined together in silence knowing that for the moment no other words were needed.
