Sue watched his lips closely, trying to concentrate on every word he was saying. They were far too close to sign, but watching his lips made her long for him to quit talking. "Sue, I—" She was surprised when he abruptly jumped back and turned toward the door. Her eyes followed his gaze. There in the doorway stood Garrett. She felt her already heated face heat up even more.
"Good morning Jack." His face showed no emotion. "Sue, I need to see you in my office in five minutes." Without another word he turned to go into his office.
Jack turned back toward her with a look of concern. He moved back into her space, and started talking. He was so close, and he seemed serious, but when she looked at his lips it was as if Garrett had never walked in on them. Her heart was beating too hard. Her breath was coming too fast. "Jack, I can't concentrate on what you are saying when you are this close."
She saw that Jack immediately quit talking, a broad smile spreading over his face. The feeling of his hands caressing her face made her nearly lose her footing. His left arm slid around her waist keeping her upright, and pulling her more tightly against his body. Raising her head slightly as he lowered his, they met each other half way. The first touch of his lips was soft. Her arms found their way around his neck. Quickly the kiss deepened. All the feelings from the past four years seem to pour out of both of them. Suddenly Jack pulled back. Again she followed Jack's gaze. There in front of her desk stood Myles.
"Practicing for your next undercover?" His smile told them that he was teasing, but Sue again felt even more heat rising to her cheeks. She was surprised to see Myles turn to Jack and say, "It's about time."
