Title: Dangerous Game: I Feel You
Disclaimer: I don't own JAG, 'nuff said. The song used is "I Feel You" by Three Doors Down and it's from their new CD, "Away From the Sun" which I highly recommend.
Author Note(s): All of the reviews have been great! Here's chapter 2, and if enough people like this I'll make another chapter… In chapter 1, I didn't tell you who she was talking to, but hopefully I gave enough hints as to the identity of the man… Still confused? It's ok, email me (CrjAIC@aol.com) and I'll tell ya who he is… And now, on with the show…ENJOY
I Feel You
Mac woke up to the sound of his rhythmic breathing and the feel of his body against hers. She lay there, taking in the peacefulness of the moment, allowing the sunlight to warm her and thinking about all that had happened in the past few days. They went from friends, to acquaintances to lovers all in a matter of a week. The quiet got to her and her thoughts overtook her mind.
They gave me a life that's not so easy to live… And then they sent me on my way… I've left my love and forgot my dreams… And lost them all along the way…
"What are you thinking about?" he whispered into her ear, breaking her concentration. She smiled and turned her body to face him.
"My life…our life…" she said as she ran her fingers down his face, stroking his cheek gently.
"What about your life?" His tone serious, eyes making her feel vulnerable.
"About how I messed up…about how I am afraid that I will mess this up…"
Those are little things you say… When words mean so much… You never back down… When they all shy away… You always listen to me…
"Stop thinking like that. Nothing you do will mess this up. I want you to trust me and believe me when I tell you that everything will work out," his brown eyes showing his concern and love.
What do I get to get me through the sleepless nights?... And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?... And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this… That's what I feel and I feel you…
"I know, but that fear is always there. I have had so many sleepless nights worrying about…"
He pulled her tighter to him. "Worrying about what?"
She sighed, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "About why I have had so many failed relationships. What does that say about me?"
"It says nothing. Failed relationships are a part of life. I will be here, your friends at work will be here. We aren't leaving anytime soon."
She used her free hand to wipe away her tears, the other never left the comfort of his hands.
"Please don't cry Sarah. It hurts me so much to see you like this. Open up and let me in."
"I have been alone all of my life…I need you to hold me…I need to feel you…"
This ain't no bed of nails…But there not roses just the same… But God this road can be long… Another endless day, another seven hundred miles… Will take me further from my home…
He moved over, allowing her to fit against him. "This will be a long journey. But I think all of this will be worth it. It's time to stop walking on glass around each other. If we want this to work, we put in everything we can. I don't want to lose you…" he paused to control his voice. "I don't want you to stay if you feel pressured, but I want to make sure that if you do leave you will look back…"
Those are little things you say… When words mean so much…You never back down… When they all shy away… You always listen to me…
She smiled, "I am not going anywhere."
What do I get to get me through the sleepless nights?.... And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?... And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this… Is what I feel and I feel you…
She closed her eyes, falling asleep to the beat of his heart. He heard her breathing become even and deep and he knew that exhaustion overtook her. He held her close, watching her sleep and thinking about what had just happened.
What do I get to get me through the sleepless nights?... And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?... And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this…
He closed his eyes, knowing for the first time that someone loved him with everything they had. He brushed a strand of hair off her face, noticing how peaceful she looked. "I promise, Sarah. I will never leave you. Sweet dreams. I love you," he whispered into her ear. Moments later he started to fall asleep, and tightened his hold on her, making sure she felt safe. Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep he thought her could hear her whisper, "I love you too."
Is what I feel and I feel you…
