Returning back to the Galactica was nothing like she expected. Somehow the Fleet had been tipped upside down and put back together all wrong. Within a week she had been made CAG, as Lee was off somewhere with the President. Nobody seemed to be interested in the arrow she had risked her life and career to get, and now everything was starting to piss her off.

When she heard all the things that Tigh did while the Old Man was unconscious, made her sneer with vindication. She always knew that Tigh was a weak drunk. How the Old Man could wash over Tigh's mistakes so easily, yet not extend the same understanding to his own son, was beyond her.

And thinking of Lee, the stupid asshole, hadn't managed to find a way to see her or even communicate with her. What the frak was that about? And to top it off, he had subverted all her nuggets, boys and girls alike, into his personal groupies. Apollo does it this way, or Apollo did that, and Apollo blew away this toaster as it leapt over his head. Since when did by the book Adama, become such a law breaking hero? However when Gaeta told her how Lee had put a gun to Tigh's head, she felt like becoming a groupie herself.

A month goes by and Galactica still doesn't feel right, The Old Man treats her differently, they have definitely lost something, and between that and the absence of Lee, her heart breaks a little. She needs at least one Adama happy with her, or she feels crippled and does stupid things like jumping to Caprica to retrieve the arrow.

Sleeping across from Lee's empty bunk is the worst though. There is nothing to distract her from thinking things she shouldn't. She has the urge to fold her photo in half again, but this time to hide her and Zak. She's frakked too many guys lately to have Zak smile at her, despite the fact that she fraks them to stop herself from frakking Lee. Not that he would let her. Or would he? Was Lee too much of a gentleman to turn a woman down, or too much of a gentleman to let himself go?

She thinks that Lee would be the latter. He's so tightly wound up, that he would be afraid of hurting a woman if he lost it. Lords, Lee losing it. Kara's brain gets completely fried with the idea of Lee frakking her with the same force he punched her with. That barely controlled emotion claiming victory all over her body, outside and in. If they frakked with even half the passion they fought with…… Kara's body filled with heat just at the thought.

Kara managed to get so worked up, that she needed to go to the head to wipe herself off. Either that or where the hell was Helo when you needed him? She was about to get up when Helo walked in twirling a red lollypop.

Kara gave Helo one of her looks. Helo stopped twirling his lollypop, shook his head and half smiled at her.

"Come on Helo, I'm bored."

"You're always bored Starbuck," Still shaking his head.

She reached out her hand for his lollypop, and Helo being the generous, sharing boy he was, took it from his mouth and passed it to her. Helo was also a stupid boy, well maybe not. Kara popped the lolly in her mouth, sucked it sensuously while sitting up in her bunk and pulled off her tanks. She wasn't wearing a bra. Helo took one involuntary step forward. She laid back down and glided the sticky red sweet over her left nipple, then held it out for Helo to retrieve, if he dared.

Helo's tongue felt rough and hot as he diligently licked and sucked away every trace of strawberry. Lee's bunk was glaring at her, so she resolutely shut her curtain and tried to concentrate on the man pressing down on her.

As Helo made his way to her other breast and slid his hand down the front of her pants, Kara snaps, "Come on Karl, this doesn't have to take all day."

"Bossy today, aren't we?" He shifts onto his side. "You want the top?"

"You are so frakking lazy Karl." But Kara was kicking off her pants, and only pulled Helo's down enough to suit her purposes. Kara set a steady pace and Helo kept his eyes firmly fixed on her breasts.

Kara realised that this wasn't working for her; release seemed just out of reach. Helo must have noticed as he started thrusting up hard into her each time she took him, it helped, but not enough.

She heard the hatch open at the same time Helo grunted and released himself inside her. She stilled her movements, her body on a razor's edge. Helo stroked expert fingers where they were still joined to help her along. But it wasn't until she heard Lee's voice outside her curtain saying, "Kara, are you awake?" that her body flew apart. Helo quickly put his hand over her mouth to muffle her sounds, and everything went still outside in the bunkroom.

Lee was about to ask her if something was wrong, when he noticed a sticky red lollypop on the floor beside her bed. Not unlike the one he saw Helo sucking a short while ago. Lee walked out of the room and shut the hatch with a clang. He was so frakking tired of her shit.

Kara was immobilised. "That was Lee?"

"Yeah, he got back on board a couple of hours ago."

Kara looked down at Helo incredulously. She whacked him on the arm. "Lee was back and you didn't bother telling me?" She hit him again.

Helo looked up at Kara and realisation registered on his face. He laughed at her. "Holding a torch for Apollo are we?" He reached up and thumbed a nipple. She swatted his hand away.

"Stop touching me Karl." Her eyes were blazing.

"I'm still inside you Kara." He rolled his hips. "Besides, you invited me in here, remember?"

She calmed down a fraction and climbed off of him. "You're right Karl."

Kara doesn't do apologies. Well maybe she does, sometimes, but you have to be an Adama to get one.

Standing under the shower while repeating her mantra, I'm a screw up, I'm a screw up, she hears Racetrack's voice.

"CAG, you in here?"

Kara went still thinking that Lee was in here, and then she remembered that she was the CAG. "Yeah, what do you want Track?"

"You've been called to the Commander's quarters."

Kara tried to squash her uneasy feeling. The Old Man still wasn't entirely happy with her. "Thanks."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Come in Starbuck." The Commander's voice was quiet, but seemed less stressed than usual. "I don't know if you've heard, but Lee's back."

"Yes Sir. I found out a short while ago, though I haven't seen him yet."

He sat back into the couch sipping his water like it was brandy. "We've been conducting private negotiations to work out a way to re-merge the Military and Government. It seems we have all reached a workable agreement. Part of the agreement included Lee's reinstatement back to the Galactica."

"Was that Lee's request of yours, Sir?" Kara winced at her own audacity. But it made a difference to her what the answer was.

"It was mine, Starbuck, but he seemed to be relieved when I set that as one of my terms. Anyway, that brings me to why I asked you here. I've reinstated Apollo to the CAG position. You are being demoted back to your previous status."

Kara saluted. "Yes Sir." She was actually pleased; she never wanted to be CAG anyway.

A grumpy look settled over his face. "There is going to be a mission to take the arrow to Kobol. The president is not well at the moment so we will be waiting until she is ready to go."

Kara said half under her breath, "I hope this was all worth it."

He looked at her pointedly. "Even if it does show us the way to earth, I think the price we've all paid is already too much." And with that she was dismissed.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She figures that she better head by Lee's office and give him a clue as to what she's done to all his careful paperwork. Nerves settling in as she hovers outside his door. Maybe he thinks she was in her bunk by herself? Kara's not that lucky. Starbuck is, but definitely not Kara. She knocks.

"Come in." He sounded annoyed.

Kara takes a deep breath and walks in. She wasn't prepared for the impact of finally seeing after all this time. He was wearing the grey blue military camouflage and his hair was a little longer and kinda scruffy. The exposed length of his neck was begging to be bitten, he was unshaven and quite possibly the sexiest man that ever was. She stood frozen at the door drinking him in. When he lifted his perfect blue gaze to her she stopped breathing.

"Starbuck. It's been a while." His voice pierced through every chunk of her armour.

Kara couldn't speak yet, but she managed to move into the room to stand in front of his desk. She watched his eyes scan her body and search her face. A wry, cocky look settled on his features and he visibly relaxed, tilting back in his chair. "Something I can do for you?"

Words finally came. "Lee." That came out wrong, kinda weak, so she tried again. "Lee." That was better.

He raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Um, I just wanted to see if you needed any help sorting through my paperwork."

He sat forward again and leafed through a couple of reports. "I think I can work this out, you're a fairly basic book keeper." He was starting to smirk at her now. He took off his jacket and tossed it over to the chair by the wall.

Kara felt a slight flush creep up her face. He was frakking with her. "Well if you don't need my help, I'll go."

"Suit yourself. I seem to manage just fine without you." His smirk was still there, but now it was tinged with bitterness.

Kara left as quickly as she could.

The next day Kara's checking over her Viper before a six hour long patrol. Seeing that they were still working off the schedule she made, she knew she was with Hotdog today. Kara thinks that if that kid is late for one more patrol, she's gonna deck him. She notices the deck crew scrambling over Apollo's mark VII. Before she can make any inquiries Lee briskly walks onto the deck. As he passes her he informs her that Hotdog has food poisoning. He was taking his place, seeing he wasn't on the schedule for two more days.

Kara felt both nervous and excited. Nervous because things were so frakked between them, and if she was honest it's been that way ever since she said yes to Zak. And excited because she absolutely loved to fly with him. The thrill she got when they danced in the air was better than sex. Sex was great but having Lee's voice intimately in her ear and him hovering protectively around her, as she either flew in battle or patrolled the fleet, sent her blood rushing and her body tingling.

An hour into the patrol and Lee was at the precise distance from her wing. So far she had the comfort of his presence but he stubbornly kept silent, denying her the pleasure of his voice. She double checked to make sure they were on Viper to Viper communications.

"So Apollo, does it feel strange to be back?" Her sudden talking must have taken him by surprise because he didn't answer right away.

"Have you gotten used to being back yet?" His voice kissed her ear.

"How could I when I was forced to be the CAG?" She didn't mean to start arguing straight away but him being gone for all that time, abandoning her, not seeking her out, made her want to lash out at him. She knew she wasn't the centre of his universe but the total nothingness, not even friendship, had hurt her.

"What exactly are you blaming me for now, Starbuck? Because if I remember correctly, you left first."

She didn't respond. What could she say? Oh Lee, I know you went underground to protect the President and Democracy etc. etc. etc, but why couldn't you have found five minutes for me? The girl who fraks around and treats you like shit because she is in love with you.

His voice comes over with a hint of smugness. "Did you miss me Kara?"

Her eyes involuntary shut as he said her name. If only she could tell him that yes she did miss him. That she misses him even when he is sleeping just a couple of feet away. She needs to say something. "Yeah Lee, about as much as you missed me!"

Well that shut him up, but not for long. His voice went super quiet. "I didn't miss you Kara."

Anger burst across her. "Frakking liar."

"And I know you didn't miss me." His voice was taking on that wry tone again. "You've had Helo to keep you company, amongst others."

Amongst others? How many does he think there are? And how the hell does he know about it in the first place? There was Anders and Helo, maybe he was throwing Baltar into the mix too. Kara wonders how many different ways Lee can call her a slut.

"Well Apollo, if you are so hung up about it, I'm sure Helo would keep you company as well."

"I didn't realise you shared your toys, uh no thanks. But I will get what I want eventually."

Kara felt a stab of fear in her stomach. He's not talking about her, is he? Her heart swells with blind hope because she can't help it. Her fixation with Lee was not going away any time soon.

"Does what you want have anything to do with me?'

"Of course it does Kara."

Her smile of triumph dies, as Lee continues.

"I want to be free of you."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A couple of days later, Kara was playing cards with Helo, Gaeta and Kelley. Across at another table her nuggets were also having a very loud game. Kara eyed them speculatively, deciding that there was more flirting going on than actual card playing. Who knew that Hotdog would be such a hit with girls?

Lee walks in and Kara ignores him. She hasn't been able to look at him since THAT conversation out on patrol. Excitement erupts from the nuggets table.

"Come play with us CAG."

"Sit down here CAG."

"We've missed you CAG."

Bunch of two year olds. The boys seemed just as obsessed with Lee as the girls. Kara's pretending to play cards but keeps an eye on everything Lee does. Kat and Racetrack made a space and Lee obliges them by squeezing in between the two young women. The girls are bumping shoulders with him and laughing. And damn it all to hell, Lee looked like he was enjoying himself. He was bestowing his best dimple inducing smiles on everyone at the table.

Helo nudges her. "Your bet Starbuck."

Kara refocuses her attention on her cards and ups her ante. She tries to join the conversation that the guys at her table were having, but a loud shriek of laughter diverts her attention again. Kara can't quite believe what she is seeing.

Lee is outrageously trying to look at Racetracks cards and he's leaning all over her with his arm across the back of her chair. She is keeping her cards close to her chest and trying to squirm away from Lee's teasing, amid smiles and laughter. Kat is laughing while looking jealous and envious and the whole table seems to be having the best time of their lives, like they weren't in the middle of a frakking war.

Helo leans in close and whispers in her ear, "Kara, you're gonna bore a hole through the bulkhead if you keep that up."

She snapped her head around, nearly bumping into his face." "Frak off Helo."

Helo smirked at her and quickly kissed her. Kara was too stunned for words. Her first instinct, apart from punching Helo in the face, was to guiltily look at Lee; who of course was staring at them with his jaw clenched and his eyes hard. Kat noticed Lee's hard gaze, and having obviously missed what the CAG was glaring at, diverted his attention with some rude comments about Hotdog. Lee finally smiled, eased up and refused to look over at her table again.

Frak it all. Kara felt like a bundle of nerves.

She left the rec room first and spent half an hour tossing and turning in her bunk, damning every woman who dared to flirt with Lee. Her Lee. Yeah trust those silly fools to only now realise just how beautiful Lee Adama was.

The hatch opened and Lee came in. He quickly stripped down to his shorts and dropped to the floor in front of his bunk to do his usual fifty push-ups. What Kara would give to be the decking right now? The way Lee's breath becomes ragged toward the end always gives her a rush of heat between her legs. Lords, she is so pathetic.

Kara sneezes three times in quick succession; she rubs her nose to relieve the irritation. Then Lee is at her side.

"Are you okay?" He kept his voice quiet so as not to disturb the sleeping pilots.

"I'm not sick Lee."

He sat down on her bed, his hip grazing hers. He leaned over her and placed his palm on her forehead. "You feel warm." He also touched the side of her face, then back to her forehead again.

Kara wants to tell him that an almost naked Apollo doing push-ups is enough to make most girls get a little flushed. But she ignores the hand that is still lingering on her face and the fresh sweat that is pulling at her and says, "It was just dust, stop being a mother hen. Or are you worried about me?"

He quickly removed his hand and stood up. "I was just making sure you weren't sick. I need every pilot. I have to know if I need to adjust the flight roster."

She tried to grab his hand to pull him back, but he turned his back on her and stepped away.

Three days later Kara and Lee were scouting ahead for the President's trip to Kobol. Their job was to locate the Temple of Athena, and make sure there was no Cylon threat.

Their FTL jump and flight into the atmosphere was spent mostly in silence. Lee had pilot control much to her chagrin. He made a text book perfect landing of course and they were accosted by the heat and humidity the moment they exited the Raptor.

"Lords, this place is worse than Tauron." Kara remarked while taking off her camouflage jacket.

Lee tossed his own jacket back into the Raptor. He was all business. "Come on Lieutenant; let's locate this Temple so we can head back."

They only had rough sketches to go by that Eloshia had given them from her books. They assumed the entrance would be well concealed, so while they knew the vicinity of the Temple, the entrance itself was going to be harder to find.

Two hours of searching and Kara had come across a perfect lagoon. The crystal clear water was so tempting in all this sticky humidity. She filed away its location for later and kept to her search.

Lee shouted out for her. "I think I've found it."

She quickly made her way towards his voice and saw a closed off entrance that was covered in growth. There were small statues and symbols of Athena. There was also a `lock' which looked like it would fit the Arrow of Apollo.

"You've found it Lee." She was breathless at the enormity of what was happening. The President wasn't just hallucinating, leading them on some wild goose chase. This was real. Her suffering on Caprica had been worth it, not just to rescue Helo, but maybe to rescue humanity.

The look on Lee's face was comical. He obviously wasn't expecting this Arrow thing to work out. He followed the President because he was upholding the tenets of their society, yet here was proof that Earth could be real.

A lop-sided smile formed on his face. "Looks like your crazy assed mission, wasn't completely hair-brained after all."

She grinned back at him and hugged him in a quick embrace. Without thought he hugged her back. They realised what they were doing so pulled back from one another, still smiling stupidly. Kara noticed his features soften slightly when he looked at her, and then he went back to being all business again.

"Come on. Let's get back to the Raptor and let Galactica know we've found it."

"Yes Captain." She gave him a mock salute. He rolled his eyes at her and led the way back.

Kara was kicking at the dirt as Lee emerged from the Raptor.

"Looks like we're here for a while longer. The President will be arriving in four hours, the Commander's coming too."

Kara was stunned at hearing about the Commander. "Never thought that would happen."

Lee grimaced. "Yeah, tell me about it."

Kara eyed Lee like he was a piece of meat. The gleam of sweat across his arms and neck, was giving her a wicked idea.

"Lee."

"Hmm."

"I have something we can do while we wait." And before he could question her, she grabbed his hand and led him off to the lagoon.

Xxxxxxxxx

"Forget it Thrace."

"Stop being such a girl, Lee." Kara started kicking off her shoes. Lee kept looking between her and the lagoon. She pulled off her tanks and started undoing her pants. Now he was just staring at her.

Just as she had tucked her fingers under her bra, she noticed Lee's blatant staring. A tremor went through her body. She felt a flush spread across her skin. Lee wasn't turning away like the gentleman he had been raised to be, no, he was watching her with such intensity it made her want to put her clothes back on.

Kara wasn't about to be intimidated and she definitely wasn't a shy girl. She gave him a look of defiance and took off her bra. Her nipples hardened as Lee no longer focused on her face. "Are you coming in or what?"

He looked at his feet and took a deep breath. She took the ten steps towards him and stood in front of him. "Come on Lee, it's hot and sticky and I haven't enjoyed a bath in so long. I promise you won't drown." With that she took a hold of his tanks and hauled them up his body. He bent his head forward and lifted his arms a little, so she could get them off.

He was breathing so heavy. Kara tried to ignore it and started to work on his pants. He let her. The trembling she felt inside started to make its way out. Her hands were fumbling and she had the sudden urge to cry. Her heart was hammering, and why wasn't he taking her in his arms and kissing her already? What more does she have to do?

Before she could finish undoing his pants he grabbed her wrist and yanked it up. She lurched forward and was pulled into him; her breasts were squashed firmly into his chest.

His eyes were hard and desperate. "This isn't going to work."

A hollow pit formed in her stomach. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I'm not one of your toys." His voice was quiet and deadly.

She broke free of his grip. "Frak off."

She turned away from him and walked to the edge of the lagoon. She slipped out of her underwear and slowly walked into the bracing water. When the water reached the tops of her thighs and lapped intimately between her legs, she turned around to face him again. If she couldn't frak him then she was going to frak with him. The look on his face made her laugh and she slowly fell backwards into the water. At least she could enjoy the bath.

Xxxxxxxxxxx

Lee was lying on the soft grass in his shorts, his hair was almost dry. Kara was still stubbornly in the water shivering, but the cold was soon winning out over her pride. She dropped down beside him, teeth chattering and lips slightly blue, she was still very naked and wasn't going to put anything on until she was dry. The hot, humid air was now welcomed and she laid on her stomach beside him.

"I don't know how you could've stayed in there for so long. That water is freezing."

She turned her face to glare at him, but he was looking at her differently now, there was some tenderness in his eyes. He gave her a small smile and propped himself up on his elbow. He ran his strong warm hand down her back and she gave a small groan at the warmth his touch gave.

"Shit Kara, you're freezing!" He sat up and ran both his hands up and down her body, from her shoulders to her legs. Every time he passed over her bottom she had to bite her lip.

He was so warm and she was so cold that she couldn't help herself. "Hold me Lee."

Without hesitation he laid down beside her again and as she turned to face him he gathered her in his arms. She moulded her body into his and revelled in the warmth he gave. He ran his hands down her back and swung his leg over hers. Her icy blue lips were pressed into his neck.

His voice was husky now, "You're still shivering." He squeezed her tighter.

"Maybe it's not just from the cold?" She shifted against him, pressing into the hardness she felt on her thigh.

He went still. Releasing her, he pushed her onto her back and loomed his face above hers. "Is it your mission in life to drive me insane?"

She leaned up and gave him a soft kiss. "Yes." He made a choked off sound and turned his head from her.

"What about Helo?" His voice was barely above a whisper.

How do you explain to a guy that you have sex with other men because you want him so badly? Well you can't. "I'm not with Helo." This is at least honest. Helo fraks who ever he wants.

"Kara, I know what you are like. I can usually ignore it. But ever since I've been on Galactica, I have no way to avoid it. You're killing me." The gentle desperation in his voice broke her heart a little.

She leaned up and kissed him again. "All you ever had to do Lee was give me a reason not to."

He dropped his face into her neck. "Don't tell me that Kara." His warm lips pressed into her pulse.

She ran her hands over his back and caressed his neck, burying her fingers into his hair. "I've always been yours Lee, always."

They were both silent for a moment as the implications of what she said sunk in. He lifted his face to look her in the eyes. "You know you have been under my skin since the day I met you?" He had his hand splayed across her ribs. But before she could say anything he finally claimed her mouth in a burning kiss. This was like heaven and they pushed and strained against each other to claim everything. Passion rising to unbearable heights, tongues mingling, mouths devouring one another. Lee groaned into her mouth as her breath kept hitching in her lungs. They couldn't get close enough to each other. Once the barrier was down, there was no turning back.

He cupped her breast and she arched into his hand, pressing herself into him. He broke their kiss and while breathing hard, he stared into her eyes. "I'm giving you a reason."

She simply nodded and whimpered when his burning mouth claimed her breast. Nothing in life felt as good as Lee Adama kissing and sucking her breasts. "Lee, oh Lee" She felt him harden more as she moaned his name. She instinctively spread her legs so he could nestle between her, but she had to get his damned shorts off. She slipped her hands under his waist band to feel his warm smooth flesh. Her own body was definitely heating up now.

He quickly sat up to remove his shorts and settled back between her legs. They both let out a sigh. He kissed her hot and deep and she wrapped her legs around him pushing him into her most sensitive places, her wet heat making it slippery between them. "Frak Kara!" She could tell she was distracting him from their kissing by her gentle rocking motions, but he felt so good sliding hot and hard between her legs she couldn't stop.

She could see the line of tension down his neck, so she latched onto it and sucked hard. He bit her jaw. The lust she saw in his eyes made her heart pound faster. He dipped his tongue into her mouth again then ran his hand down her stomach. She was gripping him too tight for him to go any further, so she loosened her legs so he could make some space between them. His probing fingers made her buck against him. "Frak Lee!" She felt out of control.

He grinned against her mouth. He quickened the circling motion around her swollen nub and watched her in fascination as she broke beneath his fingers. She felt a little embarrassed at how fast she broke, but her body was so sensitive to every one of Lee's touches it was beyond her control.

She pushed him off of her and onto his back. He went without too much protest. As she was kissing his chest he threaded his fingers through her hair. "I like your hair longer." He tugged at the ends. She stupidly felt her cheeks burn.

"Shut up Lee." And kissed him hard to make sure. Then she drifted down his body, making sure her hair tickled him along the way, his back arched at the sensations. She licked at his navel and kissed her way down the thin line of hair below it. Lee was holding his breath. She looked at him stiff and erect and decided that after what he just did to her he was going to pay in kind. She licked his tip and he practically choked. Without a moments reprieve she took him in her mouth and started sucking gently. Lee let out a groan that vibrated through his entire body. He twisted his hands in her hair and when she raised her eyes to him he was straining upwards looking at her, the mindless pleasure she saw on his face was beautiful.

She could tell he was getting close and he was starting to buck against her face, so with one final firm suck she stopped. The noise he made made her laugh. He was so hungry for her, it was written clearly across his face. He flipped her over and kissed her. Devouring her breasts yet again, he kept running his hands up and down her body. He parted her legs and bit the inside of her thigh right near the top, she jerked against him, so he kissed away the sting. Then he brought her leg up and put it over his shoulder. He licked at the glistening moisture and she squirmed against him. "Kara…." She couldn't make out what else he said, as his voice was muffled against her. But he must have liked what he was doing because she felt his tongue intrude and his mouth become greedy.

He brought her to the edge and when he pulled away from her she was incoherent with need for him. "Now," he demanded from her. "Now."

"Yes, yes Lee."

He poised himself above her then drove into her. She gasped as he filled her, every inch of her. He dropped his head to her throat. "You're mine, mine."

She kissed him hot and wet. "I told you I was."

She felt him shudder and then he started moving back and forth. The slow build up of pressure was going to kill her, yet she wanted this to last forever. His thrusts became harder and faster and she met him in perfect counterpoint. Shooting sensations started to pulse from her core and she gripped him tight as they barrelled through her. Lee grunted and released himself in unison with her. They clung to each other as waves of intense pleasure engulfed them.

They were both covered in sweat and breathing hard. Lee looked down at her and smiled with amazement. "Damn Kara." He kissed her. "Just damn."

She giggled at him. "Yeah." Putting her arms around his neck, she asked him, "Do you think your dad will give us a few days off to come back here after the President's been?'

Lee nearly jumped. "What time is it? They could arrive any minute."

"Relax flyboy. I still think we have another hour."

He relaxed and gave her a mischievous grin. "An hour, huh? I wonder what we could do in an hour?"

Kara matched his grin. They kissed each other deeply with tenderness that rocked them both. Kara couldn't believe how happy she felt. She was never going to let go of Lee Adama again.

Fin
