I see him at the end of the hall, he's waiting there for me. He winks, I smile and than nod, he's ready and now just waiting for my signal. I walk into the room, empty lucky for me... and of course for him. When I had walked in I had shut the door behind me, now I walk over to it and open it wide, my signal to my waiting lover.
He walks down the hall, as slow as he normally walks, so he doesn't catch anyone's unwanted attention. I sit down and I patiently wait, I look almost as if I'm busy doing work, just incase an unwanted visitor enters. He's at the door now, locking it behind him as he walks in, I walk up behind him as he does. He turns around before I reach him and he smiles. I reach for his outstretched hands, he turns me around and pushes me against the wall. He walks up to be against me, his mouth lying right next to my ear.
"Hey."
"Hi."
His hands let go of mine, he slowly traces my body with them, he gets to my waist and he reaches for my belt and carefully unhooks it, letting my pants fall to the floor... he makes my underwear follow them. His warm hands touch my naked hips... than slowly moves them up my sides, at the same time pulling my shirt up. I pull off his shirt and hug him closer... making the cold air between us disappear. He kisses my cheek... leaving his lips there as I unbuckle his belt... making his pants sit next to mine. He stays there... teasing me, his lips still lying on my skin.
"Come on... please."
I'm pleading for him to continue, he laughs, the vibrations reach my skin through his lips and it makes me shiver.
"Carter."
I wish he'd call me by my name, so I know he knows me.
"CARTER!"
My eyes open, the image of him fades back into my mind.
"Your watch Carter."
I smile up at him, I remember my dream and know that's not all it was.
"Yes sir."
I get up and walk to my station, Daniel had already fallen asleep after his watch, most likely the second his head hit the pillow. As I sit down out of sight, in about the same place Daniel had been for the last two hours, I hear a branch snap on the ground. I get on my knees and aim my P-90 at the path in front of me.
"Carter... it's me"
"Over here sir."
Jack walks through the branches and sits beside me, he hands me one of the steaming cups of coffee that he had had in his hands.
"Thanks"
"Yeah Carter."
I have my hands wrapped around my mug, one of them just setting on it because it hurts to make a fist out of it. He looks over at my cup and my hands holding it. Than he switches his coffee mug to his other hand. He reaches up to grab my hand.
"Carter?"
Ilook over at him, remembering what it felt like to touch him, dream or not.
"What happened to your hand?"
I glance down at it.
"Guess I got attacked by a branch sir."
He smiles, his wonderful smile and places a cloth on the cut, he holds my hand between his hand and places the 'sandwich' in his lap. His coffee has long since been ignored and placed beside him. I finish mine and place my mug next to me. He finally lets go of my hand, pats it a couple times and then stands up.
"Carter... when we get back... come visit me."
He leans over and gives me a kiss that is normally saved for special times, I smile as he does and than he grabs the empty mugs and walks back to base camp. I almost get lost in the thoughts of what we'll do later. The Air Force would keep us away from each other, but there is nothing that can keep us apart forever.
The End
