So, I was driving home and the song from Lady Antebellum "I Need You Now" was playing. I wasn't intending to write anything but, I got home and started putting words down. Most of this is done, and it will be very short with brief chapters - 3 chapters, maybe 4.
This happens a few hours after Mac leaves Harm's place during "Back In The Saddle" I was always curious if they would talk about anything had Catherine Gayle not shown up. This first chapter is a doozy but, stick it through. ;) Mistakes are mine and JAG is not mine... so dere you go. ;)
Enjoy or not... For those reading Final Destination, I am working on posting soonish trying to get the love scene just right. ;)
Chapter 1
Mac lay back into her sofa and pulled him with her. Their bodies barely losing contact as the ministrations that began with a kiss goodnight became something more. She welcomed the weight of his body and the possessive way his hands gripped onto her hips when he spread her legs to lay between them.
His kisses were sloppy, rough and it felt as if he didn't know what to do until she placed her hands on either sides of his face and kissed him soundly. He was a little too eager, she could feel his desire pressing against her. 'Harm.' She almost called out his name and held it back on a strangled groan.
Only the man who was pressing her down onto the cushions of her sofa wasn't Harm.
Mac's heart shattered a little at the notion and yet she gave into another man in order to find comfort as she grieved for a lover that was never hers.
It wasn't unfamiliar, she'd done something similar with Mic and settled for some sort of happiness. She couldn't bare the alternative and the constant loneliness that gripped her. "Sarah, I want you."
Clayton Webb's voice snapped her out of the reverie long enough for her to realize he'd begun unbuttoning the blouse she wore. They hadn't been intimate, not yet and that night after visiting Harm in order to have him help with the Imes debacle, Mac wondered what she was waiting for. She'd tried to talk to him and hoped he would disclose the anger he felt towards her. As usual he'd managed to skirt around the conversation and when she considered a different tactic, there had been a knock on his door.
Catherine Gayle was on the other side. Despite Harm's past assurance that nothing had transpired between he and the pretty blond, the woman seemed far too eager to enter his apartment. Mac took her queue then and left but, not before calling Clay and asking him to come to her.
If his ignoring her 17 messages didn't drive the point home, seeing another woman with Harm did - they were over. They were over and she would move on, this time for good. A tear slid down her cheek as she mourned for a love that was never hers to have and the best friend that was no longer in her life. Angrily, she brushed the tear away before claiming Clay's lips with her own. "I need you, Clay." She said breathlessly, knowing it was a lie.
