A/N: MGM as always.
Spoilers: This is set directly from Nemesis and follows what might have happened if Sam had accepted Jack's invitation to the cabin and he didn't get beamed away. From that point onwards it is totally AU. There are other characters introduced and it is a Jack and Sam story.
Rated M for strong sexual content in later chapters.

Chapter 1 Gone Fishing.
Sam ran back down the corridor and caught up with Jack. Wondering what on earth she was doing and how dangerous her next comment could be, she managed to keep her courage.
"Sir, wait."
Jack turned and smiled at her, filling the silence that had suddenly befallen her, with his usual banter.
"I would love to come."
Jack stopped and stared at her. This was not what he had expected, hoped yes, but he never really thought she would.
"Great. How long do you need?"
"Just long enough to power the reactor down. I don't want to blow up the SGC!" Turning and heading back to her office, she was trying hard not to think in case she changed her mind.
"Do you want a lift?" Jack asked.
"It's okay I've got my bike with me. Do you need to go home and pack?" she asked.
"No everything is in the truck. I don't need much the cabin is always well stocked. I'll follow you and we can leave from your house."
Fifteen minutes later Sam was dressed in her leathers and mounting her bike. Jack was trying to hide the physical reaction he always got seeing her do this; she was so incredibly hot!
Shaking her hair out before putting her helmet on, she smiled over to him.
"I'll meet you there. Something tells me I will get back before you do!"
Jack smiled and got into the truck. She was right there; God knows, she rode like the wind on that thing. The fact she had never got pulled amazed him. Pulling out out of the parking garage and onto the freeway, he was not surprised when a few moments later she roared past him. Just let her get home in one piece. It would be just his luck she would wipe herself out before the one time he got to spend alone with her.
It took Sam a surprisingly long time to pack as she kept changing her mind. When she finally heard the truck pulling onto the drive she gave herself a quick talking too. Get a grip, he said himself it was just two friends going on a trip. So why did I just pack that particular set of underwear? There was not time to repack again as she heard his knock at the door.
"Hi Speed Demon. You got home in one piece then?"
Sam laughed and stood back to let him in. Jack followed her to the kitchen and when she turned, she encountered a rather stern expression on Jack's face. It was a well known look and it normally preceded a lecture. Jack gestured for her to sit and Sam sat automatically; it was so natural for her to follow orders.
Taking the opposite seat, Jack look intently at her, holding her gaze.
"Seriously, Sam. You need to slow down on that thing. I don't want to see you wiped out," he said.
Sam was taken aback for a moment.
"Sir we do more dangerous things every time we step through the stargate!" Sam was becoming rather annoyed. Using his authority over her in the manor was way out of line.
"I am aware of that, but you drive like a lunatic when you are on the back of that bike. It's not safe," he stated.
Sam took a deep breath to calm down.
"I've been fine so far thanks!" she glared at him.
"Okay, okay I am just concerned for you."
Jack smiled and wisely changed the subject.
"You ready?" he asked her.
Sam got up and grabbed her bag.
"Yes sir."
Jack looked intently at her again.
"Drop the Sir for this weekend Sam ok? It's just Jack and Sam."
"Ok sir….I mean Jack. Sorry that's going to take some getting used too."

The trip to the cabin passed pleasantly. They discussed work and joked together and Sam felt really relaxed for the first time in ages. They broke for a meal a couple of hours out, stopping at a little café Jack knew. Sam ordered a salad and coke, Jack a steak and beer.
They sat in companionable silence for a while eating their dinner.
"So, Jack," Sam still couldn't get used to that. "do you own this cabin we are going to?"
Jack smiled back. "Yea, it's my bolt hole. No phones, no TV, just the lake and me."
Sam hesitated for a moment. "It does have electricity doesn't it?"
Jack laughed.
"Yes Sam. You're not going to have to rough it that much!"
They both finished their dinner and after a quick squabble over the bill, which Jack won, they continued on.
They arrived at the cabin at dusk just as the sun was setting over the water. Sam had to admit it was stunning; walking over to the side of the lake, she stared at the view. Jack walked over and stood beside her and suddenly she was very aware of his presence.
"Jack its beautiful." Jack for his part, was not so much watching the sunset as watching her; she really did take his breath away. Having no idea how she felt about him, he could only hope she felt the same way. Being unsure as to what he was going to do about it, he was hesitant as everything was against them but maybe if they could keep it under the radar something could be worked out. When he gently put his hand on the small of her back to guide her in and noticed the shiver run through her. Maybe she did feel the same way; this could turn out to be an interesting weekend.
Sam felt her reaction and tried to get a hold, hoping that Jack had not noticed as he did not react. Had she really made the right decision do this? If he made any kind of move she would be lost. Allowing herself to be guided to the cabin, she waited as Jack opened the door for her and she entered. It was your basic log cabin, charming and complete with chequered curtains at the windows. .
"I'd better get the fire started. Once the sun goes down it can get pretty cold up here." Jack laid the fire and Sam went out to the truck to get her bags in. Standing uncertainly in the doorway, she looked around, wondering where the bedroom was. Jack looked up and correctly read her thoughts.
"Bedroom is that door, the bathroom is over there."
As Sam made her way through to the bedroom, she stopped and turned slowly in the doorway.
"Err... Jack?" Jack looked up at her, his eyes smiling, although his face was serious.
"Yes Sam?"
"Where's the other bedroom?"
"There isn't one that's it."
Sam looked so shocked that Jack laughed and let her off the hook.
"It's okay the couch folds out into another bed. You have the room, I'm happy out here."
Sam turned and headed into the bedroom with her cheeks flaming, embarrassed at her reaction.
"Bastard!" she thought to herself, "he knew what I was thinking!"
Jack called to her from the lounge. "If you want to freshen up I will make dinner."
"Thanks!" Sam shouted back. Walking through to the bathroom, she was pleased to note that there was indeed running hot water and it included a bath and shower. Settling on a shower, she turned the hot water on.
A little while later she was standing back in the bedroom trying to decide what to wear with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. It was then a really great idea of how to get back at him, for her embarrassment earlier, occurred to her. Getting out that underwear she really should not have packed and a pair of tight fitting jeans which she knew showed her bum off to perfection, she teamed it with a low cut cross over top. Finishing it off with a cardigan which she decided to leave unbuttoned, she smiled to herself. Carefully applying her make-up and blow drying her hair, she checked her appearance in the mirror. The look was completely natural, as if she had not made an effort, but she was pleased with it. Taking a deep steadying breath, she went back out into the main room.
Jack had his back to her in the kitchen area and something smelled delicious. That surprised her as she had always rather thought he was more of a take away man.
"Something smells good. What is it?" Jack turned smiling at her. His expression froze when he saw her and he quickly turned back to the stove.
"It's spaghetti in tomato sauce with flat bread and salad. I hope that's okay?" Walking over to him, Sam stood by the counter.
"Sounds great, I'm hungry." Jack still had not turned to look at her and she was a little worried that maybe she had over done it.
Jack, in fact, was trying to hide the instant reaction he had got. What the hell was she doing? Was she coming onto him or was that really an accident? If it was she needed to be more careful what she wore! That top was so low he caught a glimpse of the white lacy bra underneath; it was going to be a long evening.
When he had regained control of himself he turned back to her.
"Would you like a drink? I think I've only got beer."
"Beer would be fine." The smile she gave him nearly sent him over the edge again.
"It's in the fridge. Could you open me one as well?"
"Sure." Sam walked over to the fridge and Jack's eyes never left her backside. Her figure was truly stunning; you never really got to notice it under combat fatigues but now he could really see her and he found it impossible to keep his eyes off her or indeed, his body under control.
Sam was enjoying the effect she was having on him. It will teach him to play with me like that and I haven't completely forgiven him for the motor bike lecture earlier either. No, if this was really just Jack and Sam I am not going to play the dutiful subordinate. I am going to give as good as I get and at the moment it seems to be working!
Sam helped Jack lay the table making sure he either had an eyeful of her ass or top as she did it. Jack for his part, was taking it in his stride, although she did catch him watching her from time to time.
Jack bought candles over to the table and then set the dinner out. Sam tucked in surprised to find although she was charged on sexual tension she still had rather a good appetite. Jack sat opposite her, grateful for the cover of the table; his condition was becoming more noticeable. They talked about work and poor Daniel whose unfortunate illness had given them this time off.
At some point during the conversation and Jack was unsure when it was, he made the decision to play her game. Suddenly Sam was aware of Jack meeting her eye's more often, an intense look crossing his face from time to time and she had the uncomfortable feeling that she had bitten off more than she could chew. It was fun when she was in control but now he was the one making her feel hot and bothered. They finished the meal and Sam offered to wash up. She was standing at the sink when Jack came up behind her and reached past her to get a box of matches from the window sill. Trapping her against the sink with his body, she could feel the heat of him and the unmistakable feel of his erection. Unable to stop the involuntary shiver which passed through her body, she felt his breath on her neck as he whispered in her ear.
"Careful Sam or I might just not be the gentleman you think I am." With that he turned and made his way into the lounge area to light some candles and pull the curtains leaving Sam breathless by the sink.
Okay this has gone far enough. They were not playing anymore, he was serious, he had just let her know that this could go further. If she stopped now he would know it was just a game and she had not been serious. However if she kept on it would be telling him that she wanted this. What was she going to do now? Did she really want this? The repercussions where endless! But she did so want him. That was what it came down to in the end wasn't it? Did she have the courage? Rules and regulations could be sorted out. The big question was, is this all for real or just a game; time to decide.
Sam finished the washing up while Jack restocked the fire. Flopping down on the couch, he closed his eyes and tried to get his reaction under control. It was no good he either need a cold shower or some fresh air. As he really did not fancy the cold shower, he opted for the fresh air.
"Fancy a walk Sam? The stars are beautiful up here."
Sam, glad he had changed the subject, readily agreed and went to get her coat and boots on.
It was certainly cold outside. The drop in temperature took Sam by surprise. They walked together in silence until they came to clearing on top of a hill. Jack spread out a rug he had bought with him and they sat together looking at the stars and talking quietly. Eventually Jack caught Sam shivering.
"Okay time to head back; you're cold!"
"Yea I am a bit. I should have bought a thicker jacket."
Jack took his fleece off and wrapped it around her and she snuggled into it gratefully as they started back.
Sam was surprised to find it was after eleven when they got to the cabin and relieved when Jack suggested it was time for bed. It would give her time to think. Jack made up the couch and Sam got ready for was an uncomfortable moment when Sam came out of the bathroom though the lounge door to get a glass of water and encountered Jack in underpants and nothing else. With a hastily apology, she headed back to her bedroom, relieved to shut the door. It was going to take a while for her to fall asleep tonight.
Jack was relived she had gone to bed as he needed a release that could only be done in private. Thinking of her the whole time like he had a lot in the past, it took all his self control not to scream her name out loud. It was a while later when he finally fell asleep to dream of her.
