Today we're jumping up one episode to "The Passage"

The entire fleet is cranky and hungry from strict food rationing. Athena has found the algae planet and in order to get there the fleet has to travel through the radiation filled gas cloud. Tensions are high, plans need to be made, and since it's been crisis after crisis with the fleet and fighter squadron the pilots still haven't been able to figure out where they stand. Here's a handy episode rundown courtesy of Battlestar Wiki if you need specifics.

But first to catch you up....

Previously on the NT RPG:

We started the story at the end of UB and Lee and Kara remained laying in the boxing ring after everyone had gone. The knuckledraggers were ordered by Tigh to get the hanger deck back into shape. Helo came along and saved the day by getting the pilots up and off the deck.

Lee went on his own to the head to shower and clear his mind of all that had transpired at the dance. Helo had another plan and dropped Starbuck right back into his lap by delivering her over his shoulder to the head. The crew was sure to start gossiping so Starbuck cleared the room and she and Lee got down to talking about the current state of their relationship. Lee won’t cheat and tells Kara he wants more, Kara admits leaving him in the field and marrying Anders was a mistake and lets it slip that there is more to her abduction on New Caprica. Lee pushes and Kara agrees to talk to him about Leoben and what happened during the occupation

Meanwhile, Roslin sits with Adama in Sickbay while he’s getting patched up from his round with the Chief. Cottle reprimands the old man and orders him off duty for 24 hrs. The President escorts the Admiral back to his quarters and along the way they run into Col. Tigh who lets the cat out of the bag about Starbuck and Apollo’s night on New Caprica. Adama is, of course, dumbfounded. Once in Bill’s quarters Laura tells him that Kara would look to the stars at night and see Pegasus passing and that now she understood that all those months on New Caprica, Kara was missing Lee.

Chief and Cally were trying to sort out the crew chatter about the Dance and find out if the deck gang was doing their jobs or gossiping. Helo and Athena discuss their friends and hope that none of them get hurt in the mess. Sleep eludes Karl and he makes his way to the Gym where Starbuck is already going at the punching bag, the two talk and Kara confides in Helo about her situation with Sam and Lee. He reminds her that she deserves to be happy.

Kat’s avoiding all the drama by heading to the firing range and in walks Sam Anders. Sam knows he’s eventually going to have to face his wife but refuses to be the one to run after her. Kat and Sam both shoot off a few rounds and Kat feels bad for the man as she has witnessed what a Starbuck dressing down does to a nugget, she invites him for a drink.

After his conversation about New Caprica with Kara in the ready room, Lee makes a decision that no matter what happens he’s leaving Dee. He makes his way back to his quarters and begins to pack when Dee walks in. Kara exhausted from the dance and talking, returns to the head to grab a shower before her lunch date with Apollo.

People all over Galactica know that things have changed and everyone wonders what will happen next…

Rows of bunks and lockers line the walls of the bunk room. A long single table runs down the middle.

Kat slips quietly into the bunk room. Her conversation with Starbuck has her reeling. Glancing into her own locker, she pulls out her radiation patch. It's close enough to black that the CAG would stop her if she tried to fly the next round. She sniffs again, quietly, trying not to disturb anyone else in the room. Not that they'd notice. Everyone seems to be sniffing and hacking. What if Starbuck's right? What if she did bring some of the Cylons through to the 12 colonies?

The lie that atones for the rest of them. Get your job done.

She looks quickly into Hot Dog's locker, which he's left open. His patch is also tossed carelessly on the top shelf. Unlike hers, his is clear enough to take off. She tosses her own onto the shelf where she'd found his, then climbs into her rack to pass the time until the next -- last -- run.

---later---

Kara wasn't sure how she managed to keep her hands to herself on the way back, considering she would have been completely okay with taking Lee right there in the bar. Pausing outside of the hatch to the pilot's bunk room, Kara hastily kicked off her boots, leaving them in sloppy pile before dragging Lee over the threshold. Determining that the bunkroom was indeed on empty, she slammed the hatch shut, and slammed Lee up against it. "Alone at last," she murmured as her mouth sealed hard over his once again.

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Lee felt like he'd just swallowed an entire bottle of stims. His skin buzzed everywhere Kara touched him and his heart was pounding fit to burst. His hands slid down the front of her jacket, nimbly unfastening buttons and yanking the coarse material down over her arms, even as their mouths stayed connected. His fingers slipped under the hem of her tanks, thumbs stroking the taut skin of her stomach.

Things were moving so fast, they hadn't even talked about anything. But Lee didn't want to slow down. Slowing down might lead to Kara changing her mind. And even though she'd said she loved him and had actually left Sam, there was still a tiny part of Lee that worried this wouldn't last. He couldn't help it.

So he just pulled her closer and pressed his lips harder to hers and tried to think of nothing at all.

Kara kissed him until she couldn't breathe anymore, didn't want to pull her mouth away from him. It already felt like they had wasted so much time--that she had wasted so much time, and all she wanted now was to make up for that. She nipped gently at his lip, breathing hard as she shrugged her way out of her jacket before going to work on his. She placed a series of hot, open mouthed kisses along his jaw, and nipped again at his ear.

When his jacket was lying in a heap on top of hers, she slid her hands up under his tanks, feeling her way along the muscles of his abs and chest as she pushed the fabric up and over, finally forcing her to break away. Kara looked up, her eyes, dark and wide, finding his gaze. She'd screwed him over before like this, more than once...

What was the saying? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

She held his gaze, looking for any sign of hesitation, mistrust that might be there.

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Lee pulled his tanks over his head and dropped them to the floor...only to look up and find Kara still and staring at him. Solemn, round eyes were searching his face like she was waiting for something. Expecting something maybe.

"Kara? What? What's wrong?"

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

"Lee..." Kara's tongue darted out, wetting her lips like it would somehow make it easier to talk. She wanted to say...something, anything. She knew Lee liked words, he found comfort in promises and oaths. Her hands slid up and cupped his face, thumbs stroking his cheeks as she leaned in and kissed him again--slower this time, lingering, her body pressing into his. It's not like they were running out of time, not tonight.

Against his lips, she murmured, "I love you."

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

His heart swelled. No matter how many times he heard those words from her, he didn't think it would ever be enough. Lee kissed her back, slow, languid, savoring the connection. He tangled his hands in her hair and shifted, pressing soft, open-mouthed kisses against her jaw. He caught the velvety lobe of her ear with his teeth, nipping gently, and finally murmured, "Just tell me there's no 'But...' following those words."

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

A breathy sigh escaped Kara at the feeling of Lee's mouth against her skin. Gods, she wanted to feel his mouth everywhere on her. Kara let her hands slip to his shoulders and down his bare back.

"No," she said, voice firm and sure. "No buts." Kara slid her hands down, gripping Lee's ass and pulling him closer; she couldn't get close enough.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Lee groaned at the feel of her hands and dipped his head, his mouth sliding down the column of Kara's throat, tongue painting patterns against creamy skin. He reached down and skimmed his hands under her tanks, gliding up her sides and pressing his palms to the outer curves of her breasts. She felt amazing in his hands, just like he remembered, and suddenly Lee was unable to wait another second. His hands and mouth weren't enough; he wanted to blanket her body with his own and feel her everywhere. He slid his arms down, locking them around her waist and lifting, as he started to move towards the bunks.

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

Kara hooked her foot around Lee's calf and her leg high on his hip, grinding her hips against his. Anticipation pooled warm and low in her belly, as she put her arms around his neck, holding herself close to him. "That one," she jerked her head towards her bunk, but suddenly found herself needing to have her mouth on him again. She slid her lips along his neck, pausing and sucking hard just beneath his ear.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

He gasped as she wrapped herself around him and felt himself hardening already, lust flooding through him at the feel of her hips bucking against him. Lee staggered forward to the bunk she'd indicated, and bent, laying Kara down on the thin mattress and sliding in over her.

Gods, he'd forgotten what a tight fit these racks were. Still, it was worth it. There was no place he'd rather be. Lee slid back, his knees between her thighs and bent to kiss her stomach, his lips traveling up across taut skin and firm muscles, even as he reached up and slid his thumbs under the band of her sports bra. Slowly, he peeled it up, inch by inch, determined to take his time. He ran his tongue along the soft bottom swell of one breast, then the other, sucking the flesh into his mouth gently, then pulling away.

Intent on his task, he inched the black cotton up a little higher, the pink of her nipples barely peeping out from under the dense material and repeated the motion. His tongue traced circles on sensitive skin as he moved across her body.

~The next morning~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lee awoke with a start, a sharp pain in his gut. He blinked the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes, and realized the pain had come from the pointy elbow lodged in his stomach. Kara's elbow.

Kara was sprawled halfway across his body, her legs tangled with his and her breath a warm breeze against the crook of his neck. Last night returned to him in a rush, then another night's memories flooded his brain too, and Lee gasped, unable to breath suddenly.

She'd stayed.

His chest ached as he sucked in a long shuddering breath and wrapped his arms tightly around Kara. Just in case. Lee could hear the familiar and unmistakable sounds of a shift change, from the other side of the thin curtain enclosing Kara's rack. Lockers clanging, low laughter ringing off the bunkheads. Lee found himself fervently wishing, not for the first time, that he could just freeze a moment, make everything stop.

But time--and cylons--waited for no mortal man. So he tilted his head and brushed his mouth softly over Kara's. "Morning."

Sleep was chased away by a low rumble of voice and warm lips against her own. Kara stretched and groaned as her eyes fluttered open to find Lee in bed beside her. It took a moment for the confusion to fade--it had been a long time since she'd woken next to anyone, let alone next to Lee. Of course, she reminded herself, they were doing this, they were together--whatever that meant, and she felt a grin spread across her face.

"Hey," she murmured softly, leaning in and kissing him again. "Sleep well?"

For some reason she felt peaceful upon waking. She couldn't remember the last time that had happened, but for the life of her she couldn't figure out why. Part of her wanted to chalk it up to the events of last night, but she knew that wasn't quite it.

It took a moment for her to realize it was the first night she hadn't been ripped from sleep by a nightmare since her return to Galactica.

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

"Mmm hmm," he hummed against the corner of her mouth, nipping at her lower lip, then gliding his tongue against the tender skin. "Although someone is a bit of a cover hog." He grinned, feeling ridiculously pleased that he now knew this fact about her.

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

"Hey," she murmured, threading her hands through his hair. "You are a guest in my rack. You don't like it, you know where the curtain is." Kara stretched again, arching into his body just to see what his reaction would be.

Though, yes, the cover thing was an issue. One they were going to have to fix somehow, because despite previous evidence to the contrary, she liked waking up next to Lee.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Several body parts that had still been sleeping perked right up when Kara arched against him, wearing an innocent smile that clearly meant she'd done it deliberately. Lee figured one good turn deserved another, and he rolled from his side onto his back, pulling Kara up and over to sprawl on top of him.

He grinned up at her. "Well, a good host would provide adequate covers for her guest," Lee shrugged. "Guess I'll just have to find some other coverage to keep me warm." He darted his head forward and licked a stripe across her collarbone.

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

Kara straddled him, settling her knees beside his hips. "I can think of a few good ways to warm you up," she drawled.

The sound of a locker banging shut indicated they weren't alone. Kara looked up, wondering if the other pilots had heard them yet. A brilliant idea flashed in Kara's head and she turned to Lee with a wicked grin on her face. "Shhh," she murmured pressing a kiss to his lips before her mouth began to trail downwards. Down his neck, licking at his collarbone before kissing down his chest and stomach.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Lee stifled a groan. Were they really going to-- With half the air squadron right outside the--

OH. Oh Gods. Yes. Yes, they were.

His fingers curled into the sheets, gripping hard as Kara moved down his body, her mouth leaving a hot wet trail on his skin. Frak. He bit his lip in an effort to stay silent as Kara slid lower, her exceptionally talented tongue leading the way. Dimly, he heard Hot Dog telling a crude joke about Gemenon farmers from the other side of the curtain. Damn. This arrangement wasn't going to work out for very long. Lee made a mental note to look into some way to secure private quarters again....just before Kara did something that managed to wipe his mind blank.

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

Kara left a trail of wet open mouth kisses along the cut muscles of Lee's abs down towards his hips. She moved down tortuously slow, licking broad a broad stripe across the inside of his thigh; back up, another biting kiss at his hip. Her mouth everywhere but the one place she knew Lee most wanted it.

She glanced up at the look of anticipation on his face; her eyes sparkling as she watched the way his teeth dug into his lip as he struggled for control. She grinned.

Kara wrapped her hand around the base of his cock, and licked a slow trail from the base to the tip before swirling her tongue over the head all in little light strokes, determined to drive him completely mad. She could feel the tension coiling in his body and finally took pity on him, sinking down and closing her mouth around him in one swallow.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Kara swooped down and Lee fisted his hands in the sheets, hips jolting as she took him in her mouth. Bright white blooms burst behind his closed eyelids as the sensations washed over him. Holy frakking Gods. Kara might be Galactica's top gun, but her mouth could be classified as a lethal weapon all by itself.

He swallowed hard, lifted onto his elbows to watch her, dying a little at the sight of her swallowing him. Lee slid a hand down to tangle in her hair and the movement of her head under his palm and the tug of her lips as she sucked harder, increasing the pressure had him shifting restlessly. His thighs tightened with the strain of holding himiself back, his hips lifting in small controlled movements, and a low=pitched sound deep in his throat hummed out between closed lips. Gods, he couldn't-- He was going to explode if she kept this up. He grasped her shoulder tugging.

From:

rayruz.livejournal.com

Kara bobbed her head up and down, hollowing her cheeks as he slid and and out through her lips, using her teeth every so often to lightly graze the sensitive skin. The taste and smell of him was overwhelming, intoxicating even. Gods, she could do this forever, she thought when his fingers tangled in her hair.

She moaned, hearing the low sounds coming from him, completely drunk on the feeling that she could do this to him--making even, controlled Lee fight for every last bit of composure he could get. And then his hands were on her shoulders, tugging her up. She released him, glancing up at him with a questioning look in her eyes.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Lee arched up to fuse his mouth hard to hers, hands pulling her tight to him. "Want you." He murmured between breathless kisses. "Please." His hands slid down her body, one palming her ass, the other tracing the soft skin on the back of her thighs, then pushing between her legs. He moaned quietly as his fingers delved into wet folds, his thumb grinding against her clit. Thank Gods, she was ready."Now, Kara."
