10. REAWAKENING
Sam rolled over and smiled, her dreams taking her to wonderful places. Unconsciously her hand drifted down and rested over her stomach. She murmured incoherently before uttering Jack's name. Something tugged on her senses and instantly she was awake, her dreams shattering away from her and out of the reach of memory.
Sitting bolt upright in the bed it took her a moment to figure out where she was. At first she really didn't know, it had been ages since she'd last set foot in Daniel's bedroom but gradually it all slipped into place. His clutter, her tan boots by the door and the recollection of her tears. He must have carried her in here after she had cried herself to sleep. Sam rubbed at her face and her head mortified that she had actually fallen apart so dramatically. Damned hormones, how dare they get the better of her!
She wanted to sit on and nurse her dented pride but the need to pee was winning out, it was probably what woke her in the first place, so she shoved her feet over the side of the bed. She shivered as she contemplated just how frugal Daniel was with the heating…no, not frugal. Her face burned as she realised she was wearing nothing but her bra, thin strappy top and her panties. Her jeans and sweater were folded neatly on the chair by the window.
Looking around, she huffed out a breath as she realised the room wasn't en-suite. Of course it wasn't, like Daniel would ever fork out extra money just so he could have a place with a bathroom twelve steps closer than the one down the hall. Pushing away the irrational ill temper at the man who had been very kind to her, she dragged herself unwillingly across the room. She didn't bother putting on her jeans as Daniel had seen it all before.
Vaguely she wondered what time it was as she carefully eased the door from the latch, she was trying hard not to make any noise, she didn't feel ready to talk to anyone just yet. Releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding she scooted quickly out, intent on making a dash for the loo.
"Jack!" She squeaked as she came face to face with the echo of her dreams and her waking nightmare.
"Carter!" He strained out.
Jack felt his face flush and his entire being tightening to the point of strangulation. What the hell was she doing her? And in Daniel's bedroom? That made no sense.
Sam knew she was bright red and watched Jack turning the same colour. Panic began to set in and she was acutely aware of her lack of attire and bed-hair. It was entirely illogical to worry about her hair when she was wandering around in her underwear but her hands went instantly to try and flatten it down anyhow. She fish-mouthed a few times and stiffly pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
Totally incomprehensive of anything but her blue eyes, Jack just stood and stared. Eventually he caught on to the fact that she was trying to leave and took half a step backwards. Naturally his heel caught the edge of one of Daniel's many boxes and he lost his balance. Carter caught his arm as he tilted off to the left and pulled a little too hard. He overcorrected and careered into her.
Suddenly they found themselves body to body as his weight pinned her up against the wall. Neither of them dared move as the sensation of closeness drove electricity up and down through them, raising their heart rates and arresting their breathing. Jack's hand came down onto her almost bare shoulder as he looked deep into her eyes.
"Are you okay?" He whispered, his voice catching just a little.
Marginally she nodded, acutely aware that his fingertips were now brushing her skin. She swallowed hard as that ever so personal tingle awoke within her. She felt the heat rising. It caused her to squirm and then still completely.
Jack thought he might just die altogether as she moved her body just ever so slightly up along his own. Instinctively he pressed a little closer, completely unable to control himself. The heat of her body, especially her thigh up against the inner edge of his own, was stealing his sanity. He knew he should move away but god how could he?
Sam's fingers splayed as they registered his broad back. She was losing all sense of perspective. How long had they been here now? It couldn't have been more than a few seconds but it felt like centuries, wonderful skin melting centuries. He sighed onto her neck and she shivered at the sensation, slipping further. "Jack?" She whispered, her eyes closing.
"Mmm?" He asked, completely lost within her world. Heaven help him he wanted to kiss her.
Sam kept her eyes shut. She knew the minute she opened them she would be a gonner. He was pressing fully against her now and she could feel the stirring of his desire. It was too much, he was too much. She was going to have to give in...
AN: Now don't get too excited, I told you at the start this was not strictly a ship. Remember that guy with the worst timing in the world? Yep you guessed it… Unfortunately due to life getting in the way there is a high possibility that I will be away for the next two days. Where I'm headed is so remote that there is no internet, so I will be unable to post. But I will get 'Honesty' up asap.
