We left the first part:

"Sure," Athena said happily. "The winner is the one who can get Starbuck to turn down an invitation from Apollo to go gambling on the Rising Star in order to spend time with her."

"Or to miss an appointment with Apollo that they already had planned?" Cass suggested.

"Fair enough," Athena agreed.

"So that's what you're up to!" Sheba said. "I'll do what I can to keep Apollo occupied, but short of kidnapping Starbuck - and if we kidnap Apollo, Starbuck would abandon both of you completely until he found him, so don't even go there - short of kidnapping Starbuck, I don't think either one of you will win. Good luck to both of you though. If either one of you wins Starbuck,it's gotta help me with Apollo!" Laughing, Sheba rose and left the table.

Sheba was still laughing as she entered Apollo's quarters. Apollo had given her the passcode on their previous date. He looked up in surprise as she walked through the door. "Sheba!"

"Hi Apollo." She moved to where he was sitting finishing off a report.

He looked up briefly, "Won't be long, just got to finish this off."

Sheba smiled, "Ok." As she settled on a seat she chuckled out loud at the thought of the scheme that Athena and Cass had cooked up.

Apollo looked up disturbed from reading his report, "Care to fill me in on the joke?"

Sheba pinked, "NO! You wouldn't understand. It's a woman thing." She knew that was something that was bound to put Apollo off inquiring further, he was so similar to Starbuck in that respect.

"Oh ok." The room fell into silence. After a while Apollo looked up and smiled, "Help yourself to a drink Sheba, I might be a while with this report."

"Oh. What time is Boxey due back?"

Apollo muttered without looking up, "He's staying with his grandfather tonight, all night."

Sheba smiled, Starbuck was safely out of the way playing pyramid and now Boxey was away for the night. "Oh, I'll have that drink." She giggled again as she thought of the surprise that Athena had in store for Starbuck. She whispered to herself, "Athena you are a witch sometimes but as someone once said, all's fair in love and war!"

Apollo looked up on hearing the whisper, "What was that Sheba?"

Sheba looked up over her glass and chuckled, "Oh nothing Apollo. I was remembering a joke Athena told me earlier."

Apollo looked carefully at her, 'she's hiding something and if Athena's involved then it must be about Starbuck.' He showed no outward sign of his interest. "Oh right." He turned back to the report.

Tigh sighed as he looked at the pile of datapads that he had to go through before he finished this cycle. How he wished for an alert to distract him from his task. As he moved them from one side of his desk to the other, a small piece of paper drifted out. He picked it up and glanced at it, 'this was better than a cylon alert.'

Athena smiled primly to herself as she saw Tigh head out of the bridge.

Phase one of the 'war' was under way.

@@@@@@@@

Boomer smiled at Starbuck's pensive expression as he examined his cards.

"What's up Bucko?"

"Nothing much Boom-boom. Why do you ask?"

"Because since you've been here tonight you've been as miserable as Boxey was when his mushies ran out last secton."

Starbuck muttered under his breath. He then cleared his throat and looked round the table. "I'll fold, I'm tired. I'm on a long patrol tomorrow."

Boomer looked in concern at his friend, "What's the matter?"

"What do you mean, what's the matter?"

Boomer paused and then looked round the table. "I'm going to fold too."

The remaining players looked at each other and decided it was no fun without Starbuck or Boomer. They all threw their cards in and promptly divided up the money pool. The evidence of the game was cleared within two centons.

The players dispersed.

@@@@@@@@

Tigh happily hummed to himself, walking in on a game would give him the authority he needed to shut them down for a while. He began preparing his speech, he guessed Starbuck would be there, maybe Boomer too. He would have to make an example of the two of them, maybe stop their authorizations to visit the Rising Star for a while. He hummed a tune, 'yes this would fall right in with his plans.' He walked in to the ready room. "What's all this gentleman a card game?"

He shook himself as he saw that there was no one there. All the evidence of a card game was a cubit glittering on the floor underneath the table.

felgercarp! he had a good mind to trace the person who gave him the
information, time waster.'

@@@@@@@

Starbuck sat on his bunk with his head in his hands. "Boomer what am I going to do?"

"In what sense?"

"How am I going to convince the one I love that I regret my past and that it's over? I mean Cass was adding them all up and then Athena joined in and oh it was so horrible."

Boomer laughed at the hangdog expression. Starbuck looked up and smoothed his hair back. His blue eyes flashed at Boomer and ground out, "It's not funny! It was almost as if they had been observing every move I've ever made, they even knew about the secret ones."

"Well Bucko, you do have a habit of putting the notches on your belt. Get some sleep I'm sure it will seem better tomorrow."

"Ok."

@@@@@@@

Sheba frowned, she looked at her chronometer. She had been here over a centar and he still hadn't finished that report. She drained her second glass of ambrosa and decided to make a move. She wandered over to behind Apollo and started to massage his neck and shoulders.

"Hmm that's nice."

Sheba silently continued as she could feel Apollo relaxing into her hands. "You shouldn't slouch so much over your desk. You get tense so easily." She smiled as Apollo loosed the collar of his tunic, she slid her arms inside and started to work skin to skin. She leant over and blew into his ear, "Have you got some oil? Your skin is so dry." Apollo nodded and pointed wordlessly. Sheba went over to the shelf indicated and found the oil and the warmer. She prepared the oil.

When the oil was warmed she went back to Apollo and kissed the back of his neck. "Apollo darling, why don't you come over here? That way I can get to your back easier." She smiled as Apollo allowed her to lead him to the sofa and lie him face down on it. "Lets get your tunic off." She expertly removed the tunic.

@@@@@@@@

Tigh stormed back onto the bridge. Athena smiled, looked like someone had got a mouthful in the ready room. She went up with a datapad to Tigh's station. "Anything wrong sir?"

"Yes plenty." Athena waited silently for the news that he had at last caught a ready room game. "I was sent on a wild daggit chase and I am not happy. I'm going to find out who sent that information to me!"

"Sir?" Athena tried to look as innocent as she could.

"Nothing Lieutenant. I do believe you have a station to attend."

"Sir!" Athena's lips thinned, obviously they had been tipped off that Tigh was descending. She looked round the bridge wildly to see if she could work out who it could be.

@@@@@@@@

Sheba was aroused. The back massage had progressed until the oil covered Apollo's body. She sat back looking at Apollo. His supple muscled body glinted and glowed in the lighting depending on how the oil lay.

Apollo looked up at Sheba. The massage had been truly relaxing and latterly arousing. He was still intrigued at what she was laughing about so loudly when she had come in. He knew he had been to see Cass and Athena before she headed up here, it was part of her ritual.

He pulled her down on top of him. The added weight overbalanced the pair and they rolled onto the floor. Sheba was trapped beneath Apollo. He took the opportunity to explore her mouth with his tongue. He was pleased to feel her tongue flick round his mouth. She broke the embrace and pushed Apollo away from her.

Apollo asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm getting oil all over my clothes." She paused, her gaze flicked to the bedroom. "It's a bit uncomfortable down here."

Apollo followed her gaze and smiled. He trailed a hand down her body noting the response of her nipples and the little flick of her body when he briefly touched the inside of her thighs. "We could go somewhere more comfortable."

He stood up, making sure she had full view of his erect cock he held out his hand and pulled her up.

Once in the bedroom, he made sure the lights shone dimly. He pulled her onto his knee and kissed her deeply again. He could taste her arousal. He quietly began to undress her, as each bit of her body became visible he covered it with kisses and massaging strokes of his own. Soon she was naked as he was. He slipped her onto the bed and went to join her.

Apollo held her face in a loving caress and looked deep into her eyes, "Are you sure you want this."

Sheba returned the gaze. "Apollo you're so sweet. Of course I do. Come on lover boy, I'm hungry for it." She thought as he invaded her mouth again, 'does he need to ask?' Her back arched as a hand found her clit. She returned the passion on the kiss and started to fondle his sac and then his cock. She could feel the blood begin to pound in her clitoris so much that it began to hurt. 'Sagan, he'd never been this good before, oh lord' She moaned in pleasure as a finger began to massage her opening, her hands had to drop away from his cock and grab the bedsheets as he brought her near to her climax. "Oh lord Apollo, frack me please, please." She wasn't sure whether she spoke aloud or not. She felt hot breath and a nibbling in her ears. Suddenly she felt the pressure of his body as he climbed on top. She felt the pressure of his cock as it began to enter her, "Yes, yes, yes , oh please."

Apollo looked at the moaning woman beneath him. 'Oh Sagan, she is hot tonight!' He teased her. "You still can say no if you want!"

"Apollo, will you frackin' get on with things! Stop asking stupid questions."

"Ok!" Apollo slid further into her and began to slowly pump away. They both soon reached their climax. As Sheba's orgasm hit she screamed. Apollo came to and rolled away from her. He lay panting for a while. 'Sagan, that had been good!' He rolled back to Sheba and embraced her.

Sheba murmured sleepily, "Apollo, love ya."

Apollo nuzzled up to her ear and whispered into it, "You weren't laughing at me darling earlier?"

Sheba giggled to herself, "No of course not. Why do you think that?"

"Oh, just the way you won't tell me about it."

"Course not Darling, I would never laugh at YOU!"

Apollo caught the implication and laughed to himself, he should have seen the connection before. "Starbuck?"

Sheba stiffened slightly which told Apollo he was right. "Can't tell, secret."

"Oh." Apollo sounded disinterested. He continued the caressing. He noticed that Sheba relaxed again quickly as he started to explore her body with his tongue. He stopped after a short while and joked, "Been caught in a launch tube again?"

"Sort of." She broke off talking to kiss Apollo and to encourage the growth of his erection. She continued. "Cass and Athena have agreed on some rules of engagement and a joint strategy to help him settle down at last in their battle over Starbuck. Whomever wins gets to keep him."

Apollo didn't answer as he was too busy using his tongue and mouth to arouse Sheba.

Sheba groaned in pleasure, "Apollo, you're insatiable tonight."

This time the sex was more leisured and loving. Neither noticed that Apollo didn't ask this time.

Sheba woke in the morning and twisted in the disordered bed to look at her sleeping lover. She glanced at the chronometer. If she left now she would have time to have a turbowash before breakfast. She slid from the bed and stood up, quickly slipping her clothes on. She leaned over the bed and kissed Apollo on the forehead. She smiled as he twisted over and grabbed a pillow. As she slipped out of the room she groaned as she remembered what she had told him, 'Frak, If Athena or Cass gets to hear!' The she smiled to herself as her groin remembered what Apollo was doing at the time, she doubted he would remember anything very clearly if at all. Apollo was very absent minded at times, must come with the pressures of the job.

Apollo waited until he was sure the outer door was sealed and then got up and went over to the comm. He paused and looked at the closed door before he made the connection and then shook his head, 'all's fair in love and war.'

He smiled coldly at the face on the other end of the vid panel. "Sorry to disturb you so early but I think we have a little competition to deal with."
