Chapter 1

Two years Later-1992

Sam decided to go for a run, in the park opposite her hotel. She had arrived in Colorado Springs from Washington D.C yesterday, and she was only there for a few days. She stopped to have a rest and found herself looking over at the children playing in the park, when her eyes rested on a man that was familiar to her, and she felt her body respond in a way that had only happened once when she met Jack O'Neill two years previously. She had only spent an hour talking to him at the hotel bar but she had not been able to stop thinking about him since.

She didn't expect him to look right at her and she gasped when her blue met his chocolate brown eyes, it felt like the whole world stopped, and they were the only two people in the park. She didn't move towards him; she found herself frozen to the spot and she was not sure if he remembered her. She watched as a little boy of no more than four ran up to him, she turned away giving him a small smile, knowing that it must have been Charlie, his son. She started to jog slowly but came to a full stop when she heard him calling her name.

"Samantha!" She stopped and took a deep breath before turning to look at him, she could hear her heart beating loudly in her chest, as he got closer to her until he was standing right in front of her.

"Jack, hi,"

"Hi" he said, his eyes running over her, taking in her joggers, and tank top, thinking she looked just as beautiful hot and sweaty as she did two years ago. "What are you doing in the Springs? I never expected to see you again." He said, not wanting her to know that she haunted his dreams since that night.

"Work, it classified"

"Classified in the springs, you don't strike me as special ops" Jack told her, she was aware that he was also special ops, probably even Black Ops from looking at his personal file, since most of it was scrubbed and he was on continuous assignments.

"I'm not" she told him.

"I am here with my son, why don't you come over, meet him and catch up?" Jack didn't know why but he wanted to spend time with her. He had found himself thinking of her often.

"I don't know Jack, I would feel like I was intruding" she told him.

"You aren't Sam, i promise" he pleaded with her, and she found she couldn't say no.

"Okay" she nodded, Jack held his hand out and she took it, following him to the park. She was nervous about meeting his son, as she had heard so much about Charlie when they talked two years before.

"Daddy, can I go on the swings please?" Charlie said running up to Jack, not noticing Sam stood next to him. "Please daddy?" He begged his father.

"Charlie, I want you to meet someone" he said, motioning Sam to come over to him. "Charlie, this is Sam, a friend of daddy's"

"Ello Sam" Charlie said, smiling at her, at that moment he was the image of Jack.

"Hi, Charlie, I've heard a lot about you" Sam said, sitting down next to Jack on the bench.

"You're pretty" he told her. "Like my mommy" he said, reaching out and touching her short blonde hair.

"He means that you are blonde, Sam, he tells..."

"Its fine Jack" she said, before looking down at Charlie."It's lovely to meet you Charlie" she said running her fingers through his dark blonde hair, before he went running off.

"So how long are you in town for Sam?" Jack asked her, watching Charlie running over to the sand pit.

"I go back to D.C on Friday; I have been assigned to the Pentagon"

"The pentagon?"

"Yeah... Listen I should go Jack, I have a meeting" Sam said standing up, she couldn't help but notice how wet her panties were, she needed to remind herself that he was married, she just wished her libido recognised that.

"Where are you staying?" He knew that he shouldn't but he doesn't want her to walk out of his life completely, even though he had only spent two hours with her.

"Jack... This is not a good idea"

"Sam, we could be friends" he was aware it wasn't right, he was still married, even though Sara and he were separated. Sam wanted to say yes, but she was scared that she would only fall for him even more, but ultimately she wanted him in her life. She felt safe with him and for her, that was a big deal, she had never felt safe with any man before other than her father and brother.

"I guess, since I will be travelling back and forth between here and D.C, every few months"

"So, why don't you join me for dinner tonight? And we could catch up, and get to know each other better"

"What about your wife?"

"She is picking Charlie up later and going to her father's in Denver" he told her, which wasn't exactly lying, she was staying with Mike while they were separated. "So, do you fancy coming around to the house and I'll cook us something?"

"Are you sure that is a good idea Jack?" she asked him.

"It's fine, Sam, it's a dinner between friends, that's all"

"Okay, Jack but I don't want this to cause any problems between you and your wife"

"It won't Sam, I promise" he said, he wasn't beyond begging her. He wrote down his address, and passed it to her. "Come over about 1900 hours" he said, as Charlie ran back over to them.

"Daddy, can I go on the swings now?" he asked, pulling at Jack's t-shirt.

"Say bye to Samantha" he told him.

"Bye" he said waving, before grabbing hold of his daddy's hand. "Swings daddy"

"Okay Charlie, coming" Jack said before looking back at Sam.

"Bye" she said, before leaving the play area and continuing on her jog. Once she reached her hotel room, she took off her sweats, before climbing in the shower letting the water cascade over her, as her mind wandered to Jack.
