I saw you…
Carter acted weird lately. Jack had noticed it when she didn't come to the team dinner SG-1 had once a month. She had never missed it. Never until this time. Nobody knew exactly why she had canceled, she didn't tell any of the other team members what she was up to and nobody asked. They were a team, and yet, they were more than that, they were friends. Real friends. Friends that left their friends their privacy.
But this was not the only thing Jack has noticed about Carter. She seemed to stopped looking at Jack properly, every time their eyes meet hers went away very fast as though she was embarrassed to look at him.
This evening Carter had left work earlier than usual which has happened a few times in the last two weeks. What was going on with her? Jack finished his work a few hours later, it was still light outside when he left the SGC, sunset was late at this time of the year. He sat in a car and without planning it he found himself on the way to Carters house a few minutes later. Her car was parked in her usual spot, there was light in a window. He sat there for a few moments, what should he tell her when she asked why he had come? Without an answer to this question he got out of the car and stepped up the few steps to her door. Nobody got the door when he rang the bell. He rang it again, still nothing. He was sure that she was there. Why didn't she come to the door to see who was there? Didn't she want to see anybody?
Jack looked around, unsure what to do now but then he decided to take a walk around her house. When he got around the corner he heard noises. Noises coming out of the back window. It wasn't possible to miss the fact that it was her bedroom where the noises were coming from. He walked around the next corner and could see the bedroom window open. Inside was Carter. Jack stood rooted to the spot. Never had he seen her like this. Her eyes were closed, her naked body, as far as he could see which was down to her bellybutton was glistering with sweat and strained with passion. She moved slowly up and down, an expression of pure pleasure on her face. Suddenly a hand came up and cupped her breast, her perfect, full and delicate breast. And then Jack heard a sound he had never heard before, never even imagined. Her lips opened and she let out a moan so soft and beautiful it almost made his knees week. She had opened her eyes, not looking out of the window but concentrating on the person that must lie under her in her bed. She smiled and bend down. Jack couldn't see her but he knew what they were doing. He heard a grown this time from a man, and he felt sick.
He should go. He wasn't supposed to be here. Nobody was. Nobody was supposed to see or hear something like that when not involved. But he just couldn't move his legs.
He heard the men calling her "babe" and anger surged up within him. How dared that lumpy cuss to call her like that. Sheets where rustling inside and heard that the movement had changed, it was now faster and more rhythmic. Carter moaned again, louder and longer this time. Then he heard a smack and a small gasp coming from Carter. Did she like it when he did that to her?
STOP! He told himself. JUST GO! That's not your territory. Then why was it still so hard to leave? He stood there for a few more moments but when the man inside was moaning louder, he couldn't stand it any longer. With a sudden move he turned around and hurried back to his car, starting it and driving past the speed limit back to his own house. He slammed the door behind him got to the fridge and cracked open a cold beer. For crying out loud, he thought. What the hell, Jack, what the hell did you do? Thoughts were racing through his mind, why did he go there? Why didn't he go away after Carter didn't open? Why did he have to sneak around? Why didn't he just go after he saw what Carter was up to?
If he was perfectly honest with himself he knew why he didn't leave. He cared too much about her. He cared so much about here that it didn't leave him untouched when he saw her doing something like she did just a few minutes ago with that man.
