Questions and Answers
Jack had showered and dried himself quickly, running a hand through his wet hair as he pulled from his pants pocket; a travel-sized toothbrush he carried with him at all times. Not that he would ever tell Sam that! Jack yawned as he opened the bathroom door, a towel still gracing his head, as he rubbed the excess dampness from his hair. He wandered down the hall the smell of coffee and sight of a certain major pouring steaming liquid into mugs drawing him to the kitchen. Sam smiled as he entered and sat on a high stool by the counter top as he stood alongside her leaning over too pick up a mug, eyeing her up and down as he did so. Jack took a slow drawn out drink of the coffee before setting his mug back on the counter top. Sam propped herself up with a hand, elbow on the counter watching him. He felt a frown starting to form. Why did this feel so right? Shouldn't there be some sort of uneasiness? Tension, avoidance of each other? No way should they be looking into each other's eyes like they were now. And his heart definitely shouldn't be picking up pace, AND his mind should definitely not be skimming through the nights several excursions of pleasure and wanting to do it all again right here and now with added features. But here they were and his fingers, as well as other parts of his anatomy, were twitching to be touching the woman before him. As all this coursing through his mind at light speed, another thought came to his attention. He couldn't resist her smile, his want, and the truth of the matter to be completely honest. He leaned over and kissed her cheek softly, savouring the flavour on his lips before drawing back slightly to mumble against her skin.
"Happy Birthday Sam"
Jack could feel her smile although he couldn't see it as his face was nuzzling against her own. He pulled back; he loved to see how the brightness of her eyes lit up when she smiled. And he was rewarded with extra gleaming blues as he looked down at her. He felt her hands running up his bare chest and grip the towel which was lying round his neck gently, pulling it softly, he lost contact with the blues as her eyelids fluttered shut, face upturned. How could he resist? He lowered his mouth to hers and the tingling flecks of electricity hit them both, causing their lips to meld even more into each other. Jack could never have imagined kissing Carter would be this good and it seemed to get better everytime. After the passionate moment passed, passion subsiding but never dispelling, he pulled back, but not away.
"Enjoy your shower?"
"Yeah, it was refreshing. A body can get pretty sweaty after so much. Action. In one night"
He couldn't help but smile as Sam blushed, poking him softly in the ribs.
"Jaack"
"What? I'm only stating a fact"
She smiled, the lopsided, rolling eyes, your adorable Colonel, smile. A smile kept only for him, which only he knew the meaning of.
"Gees, didn't think such a honest, simple answer could embarrass you Major"
Sam blushed even deeper but the grin spread. He loved teasing her; it was a kind of ritual foreplay they had been playing around with way too long. Sam had her own way of getting back though, which only turned him on even more.
"I didn't know a man of your age could put up with so much 'Action' in one night"
He feigned a hurt look and stopped his fingers from trailing along her bare thigh for a moment.
"A little below the belt don't you think Major?"
Sam gave him a sly look and moved her fingers increasingly downwards.
"I know something is"
It was all Jack could do too not stand open mouthed at her words. Sam giggled and her exploring fingers pulled from him as she twisted around in the stool, preparing to stand. Jack caught her around the waist stopping her from going further, pressing her lips into the back of her neck.
"Going somewhere?"
Sam's hands slid over his, which were wrapped about her waist.
"I was actually going to make us something to eat, you need to keep your strength up"
Jack growled at her teasing words but sighed and allowed her fingers to gently prise his fingers from around her. She stepped down from the stool and walked slowly slipped past him, pinching his butt as she passed. They chit chatted as Sam prepared breakfast for them both and they ate out on the porch. After clearing the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher Jack caught Sam too him once more.
"So Major, what have you got planned today?"
Sam's fingers splayed over his still bare chest and she looked him straight in the eye.
"Well I didn't have anything in particular planned Colonel"
"So it's a free day?"
"Yes. I'm planning on doing absolutely nothing"
"For once"
"Hey, I'll have you know I do have days where I do nothing"
"But think of doohickeys and gadgets and gizmos"
"Jaack"
"Admit it Sam"
"Well now I have something else to think about"
"Oh and what would that be?"
"Actually what you should say is whom?"
"My apologies, Whom would that be?"
"Well I would tell you but I doubt you'd be interested in them"
"Are you telling me you've found someone else?"
"I'm sorry to tell you Jack but yes"
Jack dropped his hands from Sam and leaned back against the counter, the feigned hurt look once more gracing his face, he lowered his gaze.
"I'm sorry to tell you Major that I may have to kill this man"
Sam laughed and closed the gap between them, but did not bring her hands to touch him, instead teasing him by narrowing the gap but barely touching as her tongue slipped along her lower lip softly.
"I didn't realise you were the jealous type Colonel" she felt like she could play this game with him forever especially when he that sparkle in his eye glimmered at her.
Jack placed his hands on the counter top by his sides, propping himself up, holding out the urge to pull her body against his.
"Only about certain things Major"
"Such as?"
"My Simpson's collection. My fishing rods. My telescopes"
"In that order?"
"Not necessarily"
"You realise all the talk of rods and telescopes can really turn on a lady"
"I had no idea your mind pitched out by the same gutter as mine"
The tension was sizzling and Jack was gripping the counter now, Sam leaned forward placing her hands at either side of his on the surface of the counter, but her body still not touching his.
"So Colonel" No way should anyone be allowed to say the word 'Colonel' in that tone of voice "Is that all you get jealous over?"
"Oh there's plenty of other things." Can't think of anything but you at the moment though.
"Am I right in thinking your jealous of me Colonel" there she went again with the 'Colonel'.
"Actually no Carter" that knocked her off her axis for a moment, for one I used 'Carter' in the same way she used 'Colonel' and two she looks a little crest fallen that I'm not jealous of her, which I'm not per say. "Actually I'm jealous of the other guy"
Sam couldn't help but let the smile crease into her face.
"Your such a charmer Jack"
"Does that mean I've got a chance Sam"
"You always have Jack"
Sam pressed closer, and now they were touching, still not with hands but bodies, her fingers crept over his on the counter top as she looked up at him. He leant down to kiss her but she pulled back teasingly, Jack growled softly and went to pull her back toward him. Sam's fingers tensed around his playfully but her face was curiously serious for a moment, he looked at her questioningly.
"Truth or Dare Jack?"
Jack watched her face as she asked the questions. Oh the possibilities were endless of dares they could play out together. However, instinctively he felt she wanted a question answering and Jack O'Neill was a man who went with instinct.
"Truth"
Her fingers relaxed around his for a moment and she looked slightly relieved. Sam leaned over and pressed her lips softly against his neck for a moment. Jack leaned his head down and drank in the scent of her as her lips sent sparks of electricity across his chest.
"What happens tomorrow, back at work?"
Jack was caught in two modes of thought. What Sam's lips were doing to him and her question. His body was caught between tensing up at the questions and tensing up at her teasing. As he considered and debated in his brain, Sam lifted her head to his, he sighed and his fingers tensed around hers for a moment. He looked her straight in the eye.
"Truthfully Sam"
Sam nodded as he paused once more in thought.
"Truthfully"
"I don't know"
The look in Sam's eyes said that she too didn't know. Frankly, he didn't care at this moment in time, but he guessed she needed some reassurance. Nevertheless, Sam had asked for the truth.
"To be completely honest Sam. At the moment, I don't care."
He was surprised when a smile graced her lips once more. She leaned her forehead on his chest; fingers still entiwined with his on the counter top. Jack was even more surprised when her sigh turned into a small chuckle.
"Me neither Jack"
Jack leaned his body forward even though he currently didn't have the use of his hands.
"Let's just enjoy the rest of your birthday Sam"
"Mmm lets"
Sam unhitched her fingers from his and he took the offered moment with both hands. Sweeping her up in his arms before she had a chance to think.
"IN your bedroom"
He was answered with a pair of hands entwining his neck and lips pressing against his cheek.
