It had been several months since the original SG-1 team members had seen each other. General Jack O'Neill had been in Washington most of the time working from the Pentagon and rarely made it out to see his friends but when he received an invited to the retirement party for SGT Siler and Jack knew he had to be there. Siler had been part of the SGC since nearly the beginning and a good friend and soldier. Besides, if there was anything dangerous to do, Siler volunteered and would always take the blow for the team. At one time they were taking bets on whether he had a crush on Dr Frasier or one of the nurses he was there so often. The memories of the fun he had at the SGC flooded him, he loved his time there.
Jack had called Lt Colonel Samantha Carter to tell her he planned to attend and she offered him to stay at her house. His heart skipped a beat at the thought of sleeping under the same roof as Carter again. He missed that too, he and Carter usually shared a tent when on missions as Daniel snored and Teal'c didn't care. They matched up perfectly. "Ok Carter, sounds good. I should arrive at Peterson Friday afternoon by 4:00, does that work?"
He could almost hear her smile, "yes, sir, that sounds great, then you can hitch a ride home with me as well if you don't mind being stuck with me all the time." He closed his eyes and thought; not only am I staying with her but I will "have" to tag along with her if I don't have my own transportation, I am sooooo abused. Then he snapped out of it; "Oh ya, not a problem Carter. See ya Friday."
Thursday night Jack had packed for the party. He had planned to stay for the long weekend so he brought a few days of clothes both casual and some uniform shirts just on case. He even figured he'd throw a pair of BDU's in, you just never know what may happen. So off he went to work with his baggage figuring it would save his driver the trip back to his apartment when he took him to catch his flight.
On the way out the door, Jack told Major Davis, to hold down the fort and to expect him in Monday morning. Davis said he would have a car waiting for him at Andrews Air Force Base to pick him up at 9:00 Monday. Jack acknowledged and chuckled to himself, he knew Davis was on top of everything and knew him like a book. If the car wasn't there to bring Jack into work, who knows what detours Jack would have the taxi driver take. He'd probably go home first, then collapse on the couch and would be late for work. He took a mental note that the kid deserves something for being so good at his job.
When Jack arrived at the SGC, the SF picked him up in a jeep, brought him to the Mountain and escorted him down to General Landry's office. Jack saw Landry, Daniel, and Teal'c as well as many other old friends, including Walter. He couldn't find Carter so he went to the one place he knew she'd be, in her Lab working on some doohicky.
He stepped into the room and his heart studdered again, gawd he loved this woman. He straightened up and twisted his neck before announcing himself to surprise her. "Colonel Carter!" Sam Carter about fell off her stool when he scared her. He held a straight face just standing in the doorway in his dress blue's and hat under his arm. She stood to attention, "sir! I didn't hear you come in." He started to smile, "that's obvious. At ease Colonel, it's just me." She smiled and sat back on her stool, "yes sir."
He walked around behind her to see what she was doing. As he stared, the feel of his heat behind her made her lose her concentration so she stood up and smiled at him. "Why don't I just put this away until next week." Jack grinned, "sure you don't want any help?" She looked back at him, "no, that's ok sir, wouldn't want you to get hurt. There's no telling what this thing will do."
He raised an eyebrow and moved back towards the door. He remembered that stupid orb they had brought back once that put a rod through his shoulder and pinned him to the wall that time. He certainly didn't want to go through that again!
As Sam was packing things up she told him she was going to get changed before they left. Jack agreed, he wanted to change into civilian clothes as well. So they headed down to the locker rooms, got changed and met back out in the hallway. Jack grabbed his bags and off they went to climb into Sam's Volvo.
"Hey, wanna stop for dinner on the way home?" Jack asked. She nodded, "sure, the party is at O'Malley's so how about going to Chipotles Mexican Grill?" He smiled, "sounds perfect." They spent a good hour or so there catching up on things before deciding to go home.
At home, she escorted him to the guest room where he put his bags before reminding him where everything was. He hadn't spent much time at her house, all their gatherings were usually at Jack's house. Finally, they both sat in the living room and turned on the tv. She found a movie they agreed on and got up to make popcorn for them before sitting on the couch with the bowl between them.
When the popcorn was gone Jack moved the bowl to the coffee table. Sam pulled her feet up and tucked them under herself. As time went on her feet had slipped and where finally resting against Jacks leg. When he noticed she had fallen asleep he grabbed the throw blanket from the back of the couch and covered her.
Later Sam had woke up and realized he had fallen asleep as well and her feet were across his lap, his head leaning against the side arm of the couch and sharing the blanket with her. She smiled at the sight. She loved watching him sleep, he reminded her of a child, so adorable and innocent even when he wakes up.
She slowly pulled her feet away and sat up but he stirred and looked up at her. "Shhh… I'm going to head off to bed. I'll see you in the morning sir." He smiled and took the rest of the blanket she offered him before closing his eyes again and fell right back to sleep.
Sam shut down all the lights except for the light over the stove. She locked the door and headed off to bed. In the morning, Sam woke up and followed her normal morning routine half awake. When she walked into the bathroom, she had pushed the door open, it was not closed tight, and entered. When she realized the light was on she also realized she could see a man's nude body through the glass shower doors, she froze and was going to back out, embarrassed about what she did.
"What, you wake up with a man in your shower and you're not even willing to say hello?" She dropped her eyes from the picture she now had burned into her brain and her face turned bright red, "Sorry sir. It's a bad habit you pick up when you live alone. I'll wait out in the other room."
He was trying not to laugh, "Whatever Carter, there's plenty of room for two ya know." Carter shook her head remembering all his suggestive bantering which she always took as joking but never knew if he really hoped she would take him up on an offer. She did know that if Daniel and Teal'c were not at the cabin with them after her dad died, "Fish'n" may have meant something completely different to them. "That's ok sir, just don't use up all the hot water", she smiled knowing what was coming next. "Well Carter, I will do my best but don't want the water too cold, it causes….." and she thought it just as he said it, "….. shrinkage." She laughed out loud, she knew him like a book.
Now she was in the hallway, "No sir! We wouldn't want that! You know, some men can't afford that to happen." She knew it was pretty bold to say to her old Commanding Officer and especially a General but it was the relationship they had. There was silence for a moment, "What are you saying Carter, that I have a shortage problem?" She smiled and blushed again picturing his manhood. She had seen it once when Jack had been shot and she had to dress the wound to his abdomen. The picture had been etched in her brain forever. "Oh, no sir! I wouldn't exactly say that." He was just grinning knowing full well she had to have been impressed that time she saw him and maybe again today.
After lunch Jack went with Sam to get supplies for the party and met up with some of the others. O'Malley's had allowed them to set up after 3:00 as they had no other parties coming in that night and Siler had spent plenty of time in their bar, they were going to miss him just as much as the others.
Once everything was set up Jack & Sam had gone back to Sam's house they each went to their rooms to get changed and freshened up. Jack had finished first and was waiting out in the living room when he saw Sam step out in the short black dress, wearing make-up, ear rings, necklace, and those black heels. Ugh, his manhood immediately hardened.
Come on Jack, think of something else, think of something else, UGH! I can't! Jack approached her and she smiled, "Do I look ok?" He smiled a soft smile, "You look beautiful…" Then he held out his arm, "Shall we?" And she looped her arm through his and they left for O'Malley's.
They were a bit early but everyone started showing up and finding their seats. As the party was rolling, everyone was having fun. There had been several speeches and it was quite obvious Siler would be missed but since he had just gotten married they wished him luck with his upcoming family and much happiness. Drinks had been getting poured like it was water and most everyone had at least a buzz so dances were hilarious.
Jack had enjoyed watching Sam all night and her telling all the guys off when they hit on her. Some made her blush but she always returned to Jack at the table. Finally a slow song had come on so he decided to ask her. Dancing wasn't really his thing but anytime he could touch Sam was tolerable.
He stood in front of her and held out his hand making eye contact. She paused a moment, "Want to dance? " She smiled and accepted his offer so he pulled her up and they walked to the floor hand in hand. He held her at an acceptable distance for a while but by the end of the second dance, she had her head resting on his chest and he was holding her close. Most people had left by this point and it was just friends remaining.
When the dj stopped playing music Jack looked up. They had sort of fallen into a rhythm and lost themselves so they stopped and caught up with the others. The dj was starting to pack up so Teal'c had agreed to take Daniel home and Siler's wife was sober so they let her take him. Everyone else was gone leaving just Jack & Sam when he saw the juke box. He looked her in the eye, then got up, walked across the room and put a few quarters in the juke box and picked some songs before walking back over to Sam. She had started putting her shoe's back on but he watched her from across the room. Seeing her bending over in that dress was still affecting him.
He had one thing running through his mind, Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way. Love's in the air tonight. You can bet you'll make this ol' boy's day. Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way."
Jack walked up in front of her, squatted down lifting her leg to his knee, then took her second shoe and slipped it onto her foot. The feeling of him touching her leg was sending shock waves through her body. He put her foot back down and stood up putting his arm out to her; "Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance? And the next one after that?"
The two went back out onto the floor and the juke box was playing a few slow songs. Jack had pulled her close to him and she took the position she had left on his chest while his hand fell a little lower down her back now that no one was watching. He had dropped his face to her neck as they rocked, "Gonna make you mine there's a real good chance….." She shifted her neck with the warm feeling of his breath on her neck, it was making her eyes roll. "It feels so right… Just like it's meant to be. All wrapped up in my arms so tight, it just feels so right."
The two finished their dance and Sam decided she needed to get home before she blew right there on the dance floor. When they got home Sam took it upon herself to take Jack's hand and pull him into the bedroom. He stood watching her as she stared him into the eye and stepped into him. Their lips danced close and finally he met her lips.
It didn't take long for him to help her onto the bed and climb on top of her. Her tongue was asking for entrance so he allowed it and finally they were getting so involved they had to come up for air. He had removed his shirt and shoes while she stood up and pulled her dress over her head. He had almost pushed her back onto the bed when his mouth and hands started exploring her body. Hers were finally unbuttoning his pants while his were removing her bra and underpants. He eventually stood quick to slip his pants off and climbed back over her.
Finally their eyes met, she had been holding his manhood making him think she wanted more but he wanted to be sure. Finally her eyes told him what he wanted to know and she took his manhood and brought it to her core. As he pushed into her, her eyes rolled back and her hands moved to his chest rubbing through his chest hair and nipples. He started slowly and quickened as she loosened until she started meeting his thrusts with her own rhythm. He had sent her through the best orgasm she had ever had and he smiled while he held her hips and let her stop convulsing before he starting thrusting again. When he was getting close to his own released he had told her he was ready but she met his thrusts harder and squeezed her muscles tighter. He wanted to pull out but she milked him before he got the chance, he just hoped she had never stopped the birth control he knew she had been on all those years.
When he was done, he collapsed next to her, bodies sweaty and spent. She rolled into him and he took her under his arm so she could rest her face on his chest. "Sam, what do you think about our relationship? I mean, do you think maybe it's time we figure out how to be together?"
Tears came to her eyes, she had been waiting so long to be with him. "I'd love nothing more Jack, but I am getting ready to start some work on the Midway Station. I will be off world most of the time." He smiled, "No problem Sam, Thor gave me a transport device, you can be in Washington all night and back wherever by morning whenever you want." She smiled and snuggled tighter against his chest twirling her fingers through his chest hair. He kissed her head making her smile.
"Sam.. I'm not getting any younger you know. I've been thinking a lot; Life's a long and winding ride…. And you better have the right one by your side. Happiness don't drag its feet… and time moves faster than you think." A tear came to her eye. Jack had not been much for feelings or words so for those words to come out of his mouth, she knew it was genuine. She had a lot to think about but they were both so tired by that time they had both fallen asleep.
In the morning they had gotten showered and dressed and after lunch Sam took Jack back to Peterson to catch his plane back to DC. They had said their goodbye's and promised to call when he got home safely.
Being apart made them miss each other again and when Jack got home he thought more about how they could work things out. He certainly didn't want Sam to quite the Air Force and he was happy doing what he was doing but he still thought he would retire if she really wanted to make a go of the relationship.
In Colorado Springs there was a beautiful blonde woman laying in her bed thinking the identical thoughts. God I love that man.. and being with him the last couple days makes me want him all to myself!
