Thinking it and doing it
"So, whatcha think?" The unmistakable voice of one Navy Commander sounded at the open door.
Mac looked up from her stack of files, pencil tapping against her chin as she thought of all the possible answers to that one question. She glanced at the floor to his feet, moved up his legs to his solid uniformed chest, and was lost all thought when her eyes reached his. She smiled her sexy half smile and instantly stopped her pencil tapping.
"Mac?" He asked again apparently blind to the effect he was having on her.
"Ten good reasons why a snicker bar and a handsome Sailor are good for me." She answered.
"Uh. Okay?" Harm was beginning to wonder about the woman sitting behind the desk.
"What should I be thinking about?" She smiled then laughed as Harm's eyes gained that confused look he did so well.
"What?" He asked as he grabbed the top of the door and flipped it shut behind him.
"I think you owe me dinner." She clicked save on her computer and hit the shutdown button.
"Okay, I'll play, why do I owe you dinner?" Harm asked as she sat down across from his partner and snatched her snicker bar out from in front of her.
"I don't have to have an answer; all you asked was whatcha think." She stood up and walked around the desk smiling at the nervous look on Harms face.
Harm glanced over his shoulder as Mac walked slowly behind him and stopped. He could see out of the corner of his eye that she was watching him with her dark eyes. When she moved closer to him and swiftly reached for her stolen candy bar, he quickly moved it out of reach and winked.
"I was talking about me." He laughed as she reached around him and grabbed her candy bar from his hand.
"You don't even want to know those answers." She said as she turned away, and then realized she had said it aloud. "Uh…" She started for a save.
"You didn't mean to say that aloud did you? Slipping there Marine?" Harm laughed as he stood up and grabbed Macs coat and purse from the chair in the corner.
"I meant…." Mac tried for another save.
"Let's go before we get you into more trouble." He opened the door and placed his hand on Mac's waist, guiding her out the door with only a few glances from the bullpen.
"And just where are we going?" She glided along to the waiting elevator in a daze, not sure what drug she was on.
"Don't ask questions Cisco." Harm laughed.
"Cisco, try Sundance." She corrected.
"No, I think you were Cisco." He started, but was stopped short when the elevator doors rang open and General Creswell stood directly in front of them.
"General, headed home?" Harm straightened up and quickly moved his hand away from Mac.
The movement did not go unnoticed by the General and he smiled knowing most of the soldiers in his command would not be so relaxed around him. "Family dinner tonight. You two?"
"Uh, well…" Mac smiled then realized she had no clue what the plan was for the evening.
"I seem to owe the Colonel dinner tonight." Harm smiled then glanced at Mac as she smiled up at him.
"Just remember Rabb, it is wise to keep a Marine happy." General Creswell smiled and stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened.
"Point well taken." Harm returned his hand to Macs back and leaned closer to her ear. "Or was that an order?"
"I believe it was advice Commander. Very wise advice." Mac turned quickly and poked her finger into Harms chest.
Harm raised his eyebrows and wrapped his hand around the hand that was poking him. He never once let his eyes lose contact with the brown eyes that were glued to his. A sudden emotion came over him. One he had felt so many times when he was in this exact situation with this one woman. He decided now was not the time to think about what would happen, he just needed to do it. He quickly leaned closer to her and touched his lips to hers. He waited for the slap, the push away, the gasp and slap and push away, but it never came. Instead he felt the pressure of her lips against his, kissing him back.
She had known what he was doing and knew she should lean back, push him away, do something BUT… it was Harm. She had waited how long for this? How many oops im under the mistletoe moments do you have to have? How many missed moments did they have to have? No more. When he moved toward her she didn't back away. She leaned closer and met his lips with ease. Perfect fit she thought as she heard a gruff clearing of the throat coming from behind her.
"I seem to have forgotten a file on my desk. Should I take another elevator?" General Creswell asked, laughing inside at the two officers as they both broke the moment.
"She did it." Harm pointed then tried to block the sudden rush of Marine green that turned and slammed a fist into his chest.
"Colonel, I believe you will be able to handle the punishment on this one." Creswell turned and headed back out the door, knowing the file could wait till morning.
"HARM. YOU started that." Mac glared at him.
"No, you started it." He smiled.
"Do you really want to know what I think?" She poked his chest again and cocked her head to the side. She smiled and watched Harms eyes dart from hers to the bare skin of her neck then back to her eyes.
"I know what I want you to want." Harm whispered then shook his head when he heard her laugh.
"I want you to think less and do more sailor." Mac laughed when Harms smile spread across his face.
"With my pleasure Marine. Now, what would you like for dinner tonight?" He knew if he kissed her again the General would show up again, so instead he grabbed her hand and quickly headed to the car.
"I think we should start with dessert tonight." She laughed when he shut the door and moaned.
"This will be a long drive home." He slid into the driver's seat and glanced to the woman at his side. "Whatcha thinking?"
"That I should be eating my snicker bar." She laughed.
"Anything else?" He winked.
"You." She smiled and took another bite of her candy bar.
"What about me?" He silently prayed they hit every green light in route.
"You have to find out later. After dinner." She winked.
"It's been nine years Mac." He whined.
"Well Sailor you should of jumped ship eight years ago." She laughed as they hit a red light and came to a sudden stop.
"Throw me a lifesaver Marine." He moved his hand from the gear shift as she slid hers into it.
"Perfect match." Mac smiled and felt Harms lips on the back of her hand.
"I for once totally agree with you on this one." He answered.
"Well then Sailor, shut up and kiss me again." She smiled and turned her face to him.
Harm leaned to the side and was about to kiss the beautiful woman, when the sudden blare of a car horn broke the moment. He glanced out the back of the car and saw General Creswell with his hands in the air.
