Previously, in Beta Launch Bay...

<<"Shh," Sheba sighed and wrapped her arms around Apollo's neck. "Apollo, have I ever told you that I've always dreamed of having _three_ men ravishing my body?"

"Let's see if we can't make a dream come true for all of us," Apollo laughed and quickly kissed her.

"Between us, Athena and Cassiopeia don't have a chance," Bojay said with a smile.

"Or Starbuck," Sheba giggled as they headed for the turbolift.>>

As the turbolift ascended from the launch bay, a shadow suddenly moved from behind a viper. A haze of smoke surrounded its head. A few more steps brought the figure into the light, revealing the features to be Starbuck.

With narrowed eyes he continued to puff on his weed rod and stare towards the now-gone turbolift.

"I _knew_ something was going on, this just confirms that it's worse than I had thought," Starbuck grumbled to himself as he tried to figure out what was going on. "Clearly, Apollo and Bojay know about it and Sheba is involved somehow, otherwise there's no way she'd be so casual about finding Apollo two-timing her," Starbuck brainstormed.

"Cassie and Athena!" Starbuck exclaimed, they had to be involved in this somehow. That would explain Sheba's behavior. His feelings of unease had originated a few cycles ago as he had borne the brunt of the two competitor's all-too-friendly conversation. Friendly towards each other, not him.

Starbuck dropped his fumarello onto the launch bay floor. He certainly wasn't going to find out anything standing here. With determined steps he headed out of the launch bay. He knew just how he could find out what was going on...and resolve some of the tension the kinky scene he had spied on had aroused.

"See you at patrol," Sheba trailed a finger down Bojay's chest.

Bojay's eyes sparkled as he captured his wingmate's hand before it dipped below his waist.

Sheba pouted leaned in closer to her wingmate.

Apollo's face hardened beneath his smiling facade. He couldn't help crossing his arms across his chest.

"Come on Bo, how about a preview?" Sheba whispered as her other hand caressed the bulge in Bojay's pants.

"Ahem," Apollo cleared his throat as he shifted his weight from one foot to another.

Sheba continued her caress, to the obvious amusement of her wingmate, as she freed her other hand and slid her arm around his neck.

"We said _three_ not two," Apollo's forced grin faded as he pulled Sheba away from Bojay. "We'll make plans later. Right now we need sleep!"

"I really don't feel like sleeping. Bye Bo. Your little performance aroused me Apollo," Sheba slid her hands around Apollo's hips as they re-entered his quarters. Ignoring his obvious bad mood, Sheba cupped his balls and pulled him against her. She felt his manhood spring to life, even as Apollo tried to squirm out of her grasp.

"Seeing you kiss Bo like that really turned me on Apollo," Sheba mewled as she ran her palms over his already pulsing arousal. "Did you lick his mouth?"

"Enough!" Apollo exploded and pulled away from her seduction.

"I'd say so," Sheba flipped her hair and put her hands on her hips.

"Three men?" Apollo glared at his girlfriend.

"Two men?" Sheba countered, an evil look in her eyes.

"Yeah, well," Apollo had the grace to blush.

"Do you think I don't have fantasies?" Sheba tilted her head and asked curiously.

"About Starbuck? Hardly," Apollo scoffed. "Have you, um, ever slept with Bojay?"

"You sound jealous," Sheba informed him. "How ironic considering that you snuck out of our bed and the scene I walked in on."

"We're in love, I'm sorry Sheba..." Apollo began.

"Spare me," Sheba rolled her eyes. "What's going on?"

"You don't believe me..." Apollo tried to hold onto his story.

"You're not Bojay's type, and for the record neither am I. I told you your sister and Cassie's plan. What are you and Bo up to?" Sheba began to remove the clothing she had hurriedly thrown on in order to follow her lover to his clandestine tryst.

"_I'm_ not that easy," Apollo said as he walked into the bedchamber.

"Not even if I storm out of here, distraught and shocked, and tell everyone about the scene I interrupted?" Sheba's honied voice followed Apollo into the dark room. A micron later he was back in front of her.

"Captain, honorable, heroic and wonderful Apollo would hate to be thought of as a two-timer. Not to mention the fact that he's conspiring to seduce his best friend - the womanizing Starbuck," Sheba could barely hold back her laughs as she painted the picture for them. "Imagine Starbuck's reaction. Imagine your sister's reaction when she found out you were her rival!" Sheba's laughter increased as she remember the fumarello smoke she had smelled in the launch bay. A scent that neither of the men had seemed to notice.

"All right, all right," Apollo scowled at the impertinent woman giggling in the middle of _his_ quarters.

"This has got to be good," Sheba sat her naked form on a chair, so that Apollo couldn't try and distract her, and waited for the story to unfurl.

Starbuck grinned at his own skill as he bypassed the security lock and entered the dark suite. A quick glance confirmed that he was alone on the middle room and he bent over and pressed the button for the second door on his right. He hoped that Rigel was on duty...although that might be fun.

Starbuck barely bit back a chuckle. His smile widened as he saw that only one of the beds was filled. "Ah, the beautiful and malleable Athena," Starbuck rubbed his palms together.

Starbuck quietly stripped off his clothes, letting the articles fall where they might, before moving forward to kneel before the bed.

"You are going to tell me everything I need to know," Starbuck promised the sleeping woman before slowly peeling the blanket back and slipping into the bed.

"Hi my love," Starbuck whispered into her ear as he slipped his hand under her shirt and cupped her breast.

A micron later he froze.

Breasts didn't shrink did they?

"Starbuck!" Rigel shrieked as she pushed the startled warrior to the floor.

"That's not your bed!" Starbuck said stupidly.

Rigel stood on her knees in the middle of the bed, her hair spilling down around her. "It's not yours either," Rigel pointed out calmly.

"Where's Athena?" Starbuck asked, stalling as he felt around on the floor for his clothes.

Rigel crossed her arms and stared unmercifully at the discomposed warrior sprawled naked on the floor in front of her. "Oh wait," Rigel said evilly, a micron before she switched a light. "Now, you were saying?"
