Title: Dangerous Game
Disclaimer: I do not own JAG, blah…blah…blah. The song used is "Dangerous Game" from the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" and I don't own that either. I am a poor college student, please don't sue – I have nothing to offer.
Author's Note(s): This is my first songfic, hopefully it turns out good…I have decided to not continue with my other story "I Know You, I Love You" so if anyone would like to give it a good home let me know (sorry, but I just don't have any ideas). Reviews are welcome, hope you enjoy…
Dangerous Game
I feel your fingers brushing my shoulder…Your tempting touch as it tingles my spine…Watching your eyes as they invade my soul…Forbidden pleasures, I'm afraid to make mine…
Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie let out a long sigh as she stared at the ceiling. Today she would tell him how she feels. No more wondering. No wishing or longing. She was going to tell him…no more stalling. With bound determination, she went to the bathroom to start her shower. Ten minutes later she was putting on her shoes when there was a knock at her door. Opening it, she saw him on the other side. Stepping aside, she allowed him to come in. He sat on her couch, his head bent down, arms resting on his knees. He lifted his head and for a moment, their eyes met. He started to speak but she put her hand up, silencing him. She went to her coffee table and sat across from him, taking his hands into hers and looked directly at him, tears threatening to fall.
At the touch of your hand…At the sound of your voice…At the moment your eyes meet mine. I am out of my mind I am out of control full of feelings I can't define…
"When we met, I knew that you and I were destined to be together. Life has thrown us so many curveballs, given us so many missed chances. Every time I look into your eyes, I see a man with a broken heart. And I know the cause. Me. I don't know how to fix the porcelain that is your heart but I refuse to miss this one chance. I love you. I am in love with you. So completely that it scares me. You are my other half and without you I am nothing…" she trailed off, fighting her emotions.
It's a sin with no name like a tiger to tame and my senses proclaim it's a dangerous game…
"Everything in me says this is meant to be. I know when you are near me…when you leave your office. Your voice is a comfort to me. Every time something is wrong I hear you…telling me that everything will turn out okay. Your smile turns my knees to jelly and every time you look at me I feel nervous. No one has ever made me feel like that, and it scares me. But the danger in losing what we have…in losing YOU… now looms in my mind…telling me not to risk anything. I have been hurt so many times before…"
A darker dream that has no ending…something unreal that you want to be true…A strange romance out of a mystery tale…The frightened princess doesn't know what to do…Does she just run away? Does she risk it and stay?
She let go of his hands, and whispering "I'm sorry" fled the apartment. He stood. "Mac wait, we can make this work…" But she was gone before he could finish.
Either way there's no way to win…All I know is I'm lost and I'm counting the cost…My emotions are in a spin...
She started her car, and not knowing where she was going, ended up at the wall. She sat on a bench, silently processing what she had said and done. She stood up and walked to a familiar spot, running her finger over the familiar engraving. "Thank you," she said to no one but the name.
And though no one's to blame…It's a crime and a shame…But it's true all the same…It's a dangerous game…
Driving back she thought. "What am I doing?" she asked the empty car. "Love is so dangerous. Am I willing to sacrifice everything to be with him? What I feel is a crime…what about my career? What do I do? Should I go back and be with him like my heart is saying, or leave and never look back like my head is saying?" Her thoughts poured out like the tears that were running down her face.
No one speaks, not one word…All the words are in our eyes…Silence speaks loud and clear all the words we want to hear…
Hours had passed since she left him in her living room. When she walked in, he stared intently into her eyes and everything he wanted to say was said through the fear and love she saw in his eyes. He took her hands and led her over to her couch. "Sit," he ordered. "Sarah, I love you. I need you. I don't know when this feeling overtook me but it kills me to see you and not know if you feel the same. But now I do, and we are going to make this work. We have to or the pain will kill us. I came over this morning to tell you how I feel but you beat me to it…"
At the touch of your hand at the sound of your voice…At the moment your eyes meet mine…I am out of my mind…I am out of control…Full of feelings I can't define…It's a sin with no name like a tiger to tame…And though no one's to blame…It's a crime and a shame…And the angels proclaim it's a dangerous game….
His eyes never left hers as their lips met. "No matter what the consequences, no matter what happens to us, our love will flourish. We get through life's obstacles together. My biggest fear is losing you…in every possible way. I love you so much that it hurts to think of what my life was without you. Please don't leave me. You have no idea what you do to me. I would give up everything for one night with you…"
She placed
her finger on his lips, adding to the intimacy of the moment. "I know," she whispered. "I am so sorry for leaving like that…"
"Shhh…it's ok, I knew that
you'd be back…" he replied as he wiped her tear away, staring intensely into
her eyes, happy that she returned to him.
She
smiled. "You seem so sure of that."
"Yeah, it's one of my annoying
personality traits…"
She became serious. "We still have to talk, you know. Not now but soon."
"We will. I promise you we will."
Such a dangerous game…
