As Mac reached for her fork Harm caught her hand. He guided her hand to pick up a piece of pasta and then led her fingers to his mouth. Getting the idea Mac fed him the pasta and as she pulled away he reached for her hand once again and guided her index finger and thumb into his mouth. He licked the remaining Alfredo sauce from her fingers and then kissed the palm of her hand.

All she could do was feel. She could feel the smoothness of his mouth around her fingers, the sensation of his tongue, and the intense look he gave her throughout it all. To be honest.she was scared to death. She had always dreamed of something like this. Something unexpected to finally take over that would let Harm indulge in that which he wanted most.and with all her might she hoped it was her.. and it was.
The look that was boring into her soul right now was so intense, lustful, passionate, and loving. Never before had she looked into a mans eyes, that intense, and knew he was perfect and that he wanted her. It was as if he was consuming every part of her being through those two perfect blue eyes.
She had hoped that one day this would happen. In fact prayed that one day this would happen. But never honestly believed that it would.
Harm sat there looking into Mac's eyes and he could see all of the flooding emotions that were building inside. The most apparent emotion was fear.
"Sarah, are you ok?" he asked not only for her sake but also for his own sanity. He didn't want to push her away when it has taken so long to get to this point.
At the sound of her name she was shaken out of her daze. "Oh.yeah.I'm so sorry. I'm fine, really!"
"What's wrong?" he asked. He was starting to get a little worried. The evening had gone well so far and then it was as if she no longer was interested.
She sat there for a moment to collect her thoughts. "Harm, I need to tell you a story. So please just give me a minute, it will help me explain a few things," she said in a comforting tone.
"My first assignment while I was TAD two years ago was to investigate the disappearance/death of the on board JAG, Major Holmes. Gunny and I found out that the JAG presumed dead was actually very much alive, but he was trying to start a new life. He had faked his own death in order to ensure that his family would receive the life insurance, but made a clean break in order to be with his mistress. When Gunny and I captured Major Holmes he explained his story. As usual I figured the man out to be a bastard for leaving his family like a coward, but then he said that he didn't give up one damn thing he wanted. And that with this woman, "anything, the sunset, the curve of her thigh, the air he breathed, anything was enough. Then he asked if I had ever loved anyone so much that I would have given up the world for them. Did love ever make me crazy? I said once or twice and then he asked me if I would ever do it again. Then he added "well maybe one day you get up the nerve to stop playing it safe and work without a net."
"Harm, I would give up the world to have you in my arms every moment of every day. But I need that net, because I'm not ready to fall," she said looking timidly at her hands.
"Sarah, I have gone to the Naval Academy, graduated from flight school, been a top gun, flown in many dangerous conditions, gone to Georgetown for law school, and fought some of the toughest opponents in the court room, and all the while acted so arrogant and confident. When it comes to women I'm usually a Casanova," he says giving her a smile, "but with you it's different. You challenge me in every way. You don't let me get away with the petty bullshit that the others have. And because of you I want to be a better person, I love you! And I will never let you fall."
With that Harm pulled Mac to him, their hands still intertwined and just held her as she cried tears of joy. He could feel her tighten her grip on the back of his shirt as he felt her cry into his chest.
A/N: so how's it going.. keep it up? Yes/No. Keep the reviews coming and I want to thank those that do review, you all make it worth the effort. (
