It has been about three weeks since that day at his cabin. They were officially a couple but something was missing. Them. With her being in Colorado Springs and him being in DC, seeing each other was rather difficult. Especially with the whole Ori threat hanging over their heads-hers in particular. They weren't seeing each other very often, and when they did it was for one evening leading to a night of love making and showing how much they've missed one another.

But she needed him more. She needed him closer. That said, it was rather difficult to have him closer than where he was right now. His hands had a bruising grip on her hips, pushing her even further into the mattress to hold her still. She was quivering beneath him, her breath coming in short gasps, and it made it harder for him to torture her like he wanted. His head was between her legs and she was sure he had found that mole a long time ago.

She was shaking as he had found a certain spot she never new existed. He seemed to like it as he kept licking, nipping, sucking and biting it. Her juices were dripping like a stream of water and he licked all of it. It felt so good, she was absolutely sure that if didn't stop right now, she would burst into flames. She was also certain that if he *did* stop she'd just have to kill him with her own bare hands, which were currently pulling hard on his silver hair trying to urge him on.

"Please… Jack! Pleeaaasssee!!!"

Even *she* couldn't believe her ears. She was a Lt. Colonel in the USAF, and she was begging. She had never EVER begged before. The things this man could make her do!

Despite her pleadings he wouldn't give in. Instead, he kept swirling his tongue around her clit, trying not to touch it directly. But in an instant, something changed. She was overwhelmed by the intensity of her orgasm, she didn't even realize what pushed her over the edge. In retrospect she managed to remember his tongue licking her oh-so-sensitive bud before entering her in a hard thrust.

His whole face was soaked with her juices as he tried to push his tongue as deep as he could. He loved the way she tasted. He liked going down on his lovers and indulge them, but somehow Sam made it even better and he repaid her for that. He could feel her muscles relaxing a bit around him so he pulled back and climbed over her body. Her eyes were shut so he waited for her to come to her senses.

She was just so beautiful when she came, even his throbbing and painfully hard dick couldn't make him look away from her. When she came back she took his mouth in hers, tasting herself on his lips. Normally she would have found it rather repulsive, but having her taste all over Jack O'Neill's mouth turned her on even more. So, by kissing him harshly, she tried to tell him it was okay, and that she was waiting for him to get what he was craving for.

Getting the massage, and not willing to wait a moment longer he started moving. He withdraw almost completely before entering even deeper. He wanted *all* of him to be inside her, so he grabbed a random pillow and pushed it under her lower back. She understood and entwined her ankles around his hips, pulling them as high towards her chest as she could.

With that, he was even deeper from where she thought he could reach, stretching her to her limits. He drove her hard and she met his every thrust. Soon, they were both sent to oblivion, tangled together. When they regained their sense of reality he pulled beck, a sigh of protest escaping both of their mouths at the loss of contact.

He turned her so that her back was pressed against his chest. With no words, as they were too tired of their intense love making, they fell asleep, together.

She woke up the next morning in the same position she fell asleep and didn't want to move just yet. But something was different. She couldn't put her finger on it as she was very sleepy, so she sent her arm to feel Jack's body but instead she had found a sheet. She turned around and saw a note lying on the pillow.

Good morning sunshine.

Sorry I can't be here with you, but "the boss" called and I just didn't have the heart to wake my personal sleeping beauty.

Have a nice day,

Love you, J

Wait a minute. A phone rang, he got up and walked away and she didn't even notice? What time was it anyway? She looked at the bedside clock and couldn't believe her eyes. 9.30 A.M!! At first she thought it was Sunday but the she remembered the reason Jack was here last night was that it was the weekend. Wait a minute, 9.30?! She had a meeting with the guys and the General at 10.00!! Damn! What was he thinking when he didn't wake her up?

She got up and dressed as fast as she could not even taking a short shower-she'd figured she'd do it in the base's locker room. She then drove to the base, probably breaking several traffic rules, and parked her car in the parking-lot. When she exited the elevator it was 10.10 and she was late. She entered the room quickly and said "Sorry, sir." Not meeting his eyes.

"It's OK colonel, take your seat, Dr. Jackson was telling us about his findings from your last mission."

When the debriefing was over, Sam left the room with a hurry, only to be stopped by someone calling her name.

"Hey Sam, wait up." She turned around and saw, Daniel, Cam and Teal'c walking towards her.

"Oh hey guys. What's up?"

"All good. We were looking for you earlier." Cam said.

"Oh? Is something wrong?"

"No, we just wanted to get you, so we can go to the debriefing together this morning. Where were you anyway?" Daniel answered. How could she forget that? When it was almost a ritual for them to go to the debriefings together?

"Huh? Umm… I slept in…" she said stammering. She glanced at Teal'c for a moment and she believed she recognized a hint of a knowing look. But it was gone as fast as it appeared, with simple characteristic nod of his head.

"Really?" oblivious to his surroundings, Daniel spoke "You do that?" he asked surprised. "See? I told you that even after ten years there is always something new…" He was addressing Mitchell right now, because every time he saw two of the three talking about things other than work, he didn't understand what they had to talk about after all that time.

Listening to Daniel's words Sam told herself he will never know, at least not for the moment, how right he was.

"Yea, well, whatever… let's just go get some food alright?" Cam said dismissing Daniel.

As she was last after Teal'c to move from her place and as soon as Daniel and Mitchell were far enough, Teal'c bent towards her and whispered in here ear "I do not understand why you choose to conceal the real cause of your delay this morning."

"What? What are you talking about?" she asked surprised, how could he possibly know?

"I believe it is in fact General O'Neill's fault you are to be late"

"Uhmm… ahh… why would you say that?"

"I am most certain you and him are in a relationship at the moment"

"Wha… but… how do you know that?"

"I was to call your house a few weeks ago to invite you to our usual poker night at Col. Mitchell's house, when O'Neill answered the call. I then understood that you have chosen to act on your feelings, finally, may I add"

"We were that obvious huh?" she asked nodding her head looking at her boots.

"Indeed." He smiled and nodded his head.

"Hey Teal'c, Sam, are you coming or what?!" called Mitchell.

They turned and started moving towards the remaining members of SG-1.

"I must say, I am very pleased with your choice Col. Carter, it is high time for you to recognize your feelings and act upon them."

"Thanks Teal'c, it means a lot. I guess I should tell the rest huh?"

"I believe they will have the same reaction, if not a greater one form Daniel-Jackson's part." She smirked and nodded.

Well, here we go…I guess… she said to herself when they entered the cafeteria.

She told them about her Jack being together. As if words from a profit's mouth were coming true, Cam was very happy for her and Daniel got up from his seat to hug her whispering "You've finally got your heads out of your asses have you? Congrats, Sam, you deserve it, you both do."

It went better than she thought it would and when she got home that day, she called Jack to tell him the good news. He was very happy and was relieved they didn't have to hide anymore.

*****

It has been almost a month since they've been together, and leaving her with a note made it even harder. At least she had the guys for support, and she used Daniel's shoulder, now that he new about them. Unfortunately, he wasn't that lucky. All he had in DC were a bunch of gray politicians and he certainly wasn't going to use *their* shoulder!

She had back to back off-world missions and working on her "doohickeys", as Jack called them, which left no time for Sam and Jack to see each other. He was busy, too. As the head of the Home Land Security office and with eight years of gate-traveling he needed to explain and advice the president on the new course of action they should take concerning the new Ori threat.

He had missed her, he really did. So he decided to surprise her.

After a long day, and after finally figuring out, with Dr. Lee's help, what was that thing they've founds on P4U-564, she went home to fill in some missing sleeping hours. But when she entered her driveway she saw the lights on. As it was the middle of the week, it wasn't likely for Jack to be there. So she took out her gun and slowly approached the doorway. She opened the door quietly and searched for the thief.

She heard a noise behind her and swirled quickly, pointing the gut in front of her.
