A/N - I know..rating should probably be M, but I'm not changing it. So warning you now...there is some sexual content in here. Nothing too...raunchy though.

Kate backed Daniel onto the bed. When the back of his knees hit the edge, his legs buckled underneath him and he sat down. He watched as Kate shimmied out of the shirt he gave her.

Her skin wasn't nearly as smooth as the hallucination would have him believe.

She had little scars dotting her body.

There was one on her upper arm that looked suspiciously like a gunshot wound, and a curved scar on her ribcage that made him flinch. There were little ones peppering her arms and legs, and one right over her clavicle. She saw him staring.

"Gunshot wound. It just barely skimmed me." She told him, pointing to her upper arm. "Knife wound." She indicated the one on her ribcage. "Broken rebar." She traced the one on her clavicle with a single finger.

"What about these ones?" He asked, taking her arm gently.

"From all over." She shrugged. "I've fallen on pavement, gravel, crawled through tight spaces, and generally have gotten banged up." Kate paused. "I'm not fragile, Daniel."

He smirked up at her, kissed her palm, and said, "I know."

At that, Kate smirked mischievously and lowered herself onto the bed next to Daniel.

He looked down in surprise as she placed a hand on his upper thigh. She gave a squeeze and leaned forward until her mouth was on his. Their lips clashed, hungry and demanding. Years of sexual tension built up as their hands roamed each other's bodies and their hearts nearly pounded out of their chests.

Daniel moved his lips from her mouth to her neck, causing her to moan and dig her nails into the back of his neck. It stung, but felt good.

His hands slid idly up and down her ribcage, his thumb flicking across the scar.

He pulled away—but kept his hands on her—and looked up and down. He smirked.

"What?"

"Boy shorts?" He raised an eyebrow.

"They're comfortable!" She protested as he snapped the waistband. She let out a small squeak and he smirked at her.

"My grandma wears more revealing underwear." He said, and then realized what he just said. Kate was raising an eyebrow at him. "Not that I've ever seen her…I need to think before I talk."

"Just stop talking." She said quietly.

Kate leaned in, nuzzling her face into Daniel's neck. He made a gruff noise low in his throat as she began kissing the skin there. When she ran her tongue along the shallow curve of his throat, she felt him tense up.

She pulled back and looked into his eyes. "Are you okay?"

Then she noticed the look on his face. "Fine…just…surprised me."

She smiled brightly and returned to her ministrations. Daniel moaned loudly and she giggled against his neck at the sound. He liked the sound.

Daniel eventually pushed her away slowly, leaning in to place kisses on her neck.

He brushed his lips down her chest and kissed her navel softly. Kate twisted away from him and giggled. "Stop that—it tickles."

Daniel ignored her, licking her bellybutton, before kissing her protruding hip bone.

He pushed her legs apart softly, leaning down to place a kiss to her thigh when Kate made a small sound. He looked up to see fear in her face. "Are you okay? What's the matter?"

"It's just been a long time." She admitted with a small smile.

Daniel scoffed. "Try fifteen years."

Her eyes went wide as he began kissing her thigh. Then he straightened up and kissed her full on the lips again. It caught her off guard and she almost fell backwards. Daniel caught her, though, throwing an arm around her and pressing them together.

Finally, he stripped her of her remaining clothing and looked her over. She blushed and tried to cover herself. "Stop that…you're beautiful."

She blushed even deeper.

"Let's see you get naked then."

"Gladly."

A/N - Blargh...that's call fanservice folks. Lol. Review please.
