Chapter 3 - PLAY NICELY
Sam was left staring after her CO, as he went to help Daniel and Teal'c put up
the tents. Daniel and Teal'c had been eyeing up the interaction between the two
since last night, and had noticed that things were definitely heating up
between Sam and Jack. Daniel was pleasantly surprised to see the two of them
falling back into the flirtatious banter that had been absent for a while, and
he'd kind of missed it.
As Sam began to walk over to the men in her life, intense feelings for Jack
came rising to the surface as she mused, "Hmm, 101 ways eh! This could get
very interesting!"
Daniel, sticking the pegs into the ground spoke first, "So, Sam, who are
you bunking with?" He asked slyly, knowing full well that Jack had already
said she could bunk with him.
Without thinking, she blurted out, "I'm sleeping with the Colonel."
Then realising what she'd said, Sam did a complete turn around and tried
desperately to get her foot out of mouth by further explaining. "Um, well,
what I meant was, that I'm not going to be sleeping with the Colonel, but,
I'll be sleeping next to him. In my own sleeping bag, and..." Sam paused,
this was not going well. Then noticing the boys, specifically Jack and Daniel
who were desperately trying to hide their amusement at her expense. Their eyes
wide in anticipation on how she had planned to dig her way out of this. Jack's
eyes twinkled in delight, this was great, he'd never heard Carter lost for
words, and he didn't even have to do anything apart from watch her stumble.
Seeing the funny side she just replied, "Oh, shut up guys, you know very
well what I mean!"
"We know Sam, but it's just so much fun watching you squirm." Jack
replied, enjoying every moment. Daniel, finally let go of the laughter he'd
been holding. As for Teal'c, well he just raised his eyebrows. Feeling rather
childish, Sam just stuck her tongue out at them both and blew a big raspberry,
which made them laugh even harder.
For the remainder of the day, they enjoyed the serenity of their location,
laughing and joking as they pitched up their tents. Teal'c had volunteered to
do the cooking on the open stove, which they'd brought with them. Sunset was
starting to set in, and they wanted to relax for the rest of the evening. At
the mention of food, Daniel's stomach decided to grumble with anticipation.
"Hungry Daniel?" Jack asked.
"Starving! What have we got to eat?"
"How about some nice fresh fish? I now exactly where we can get
some!" He replied teasing them.
They all turned round in astonishment, looking as if they were about to ambush
him then shouted in unison, "NO!"
"Geez, you guys are so touchy!" He replied mocking them.
As Teal'c prepared the meal, Daniel, Jack and Sam went to collect some
firewood, it would be nightfall soon, and the pressure of being so high up,
caused the night to become cold very quickly.
Sam volunteered to start the camp fire off, but Jack becoming manly all of a
sudden, put his hand on arm and said in caveman like voice, "Me man, me
build fire!" What Jack didn't know was that Sam had hold of all the
matches, so for the next half an hour Jack tried desperately to light the fire
using two wooden sticks, and began vigorously rubbing them together.
Daniel watched Jack with amusement, and pulled Sam to one side, "Sooo,
when are you going to tell him about the matches, Sam?"
"When I think he's learned his lesson, I mean, c'mon 'Me, Man, me make fire',
what is this the dark ages?" Daniel sniggered in amusement.
Sam acting all innocent walked over to where Colonel Jack O'Neill knelt,
desperately trying to get some sparks out of the wood. All she could hear was
him muttering, "Oh, f'crying out loud...c'mon stupid sticks."
Desperately trying to act all serious, Sam peered over his shoulder and sweetly
asked, "Everything okay, Sir?"
Jack looked across at her, a hint of a scowl on his face, frustration was now
clearly showing. "The sticks are just wet, that's all."
"Do you want me to try, Sir? I mean I bet your hands and wrists are
getting stiff, I mean it has been half an hour." She smiled serenely.
Ready to bait him, hook line and sinker.
"Thanks Carter, that'd be great!" Jack smiled slightly, feeling bad
for the little joke he made earlier about women not being able to make a
campfire.
"Nooo problem, Sir. Happy to help" Carter replied a little too
sweetly. With that she took out a firelighter and matches from her pocket,
stuck it under the piles of twigs, and casually lit it. Then beamed delightedly
back at the Colonel's open mouthed expression. "There you go Colonel, all
done."
Jack's face was an absolute picture Carter thought, if only she had a camera.
This could've gone up on the notice board. Daniel stood nearby watching his
friend finally get her own back, and found it highly amusing as he heard Jack
shout. "Why. you... little buggar! You had them all along didn't
you?"
Knowing what was going to happen next, Carter had the desperate urge to get as
far away from the Colonel as quickly as possible. Giggling hysterically, Sam
got up and ran around the campsite, with Jack following in hot pursuit.
"You wait Carter! I'm going to get you good!"
Both Jack and Sam ran around the tents like 5 year olds. Sam screeched in jest
as the Colonel went to tackle her, but missed by a hare's whisker and fell
straight into a pile of mud. Sam stopped and turned around as she heard a
splat.
Daniel was now in complete hysterics as he saw Jack lying face down, covered
from top to toe in mud. "Now, now children, play nicely." He baited.
Waiving one hand in the air that contained the matches, Sam tried desperately
not to laugh at the Colonel's expense. Casually walking over to him and as a
gesture of good will she held out her hand for the Colonel to pull himself up.
Not realising what the Colonel had planned for his 2IC, she suddenly found
herself lying directly on top of him as he pulled her into the boggy mess.
Squealing with delight at this unexpected turn of events, Jack and Sam
continued their game in the mud, picking up handfuls of the 'goo' and throwing
it at each other. With silliness completely taking over the Colonel dive bombed
into Carter, and began tickling her in an effort to get the matches out of her
hand. Seeing what he was up to she quickly stuffed them down her bra, grinning
in delight, and wondering just how far he was going to go to get them.
Jack watched her hand moving forcefully down her top; he paused as if mulling
it over. Then suddenly realising things were getting a bit out of hand
especially with Daniel, and Teal'c who had left the stove to watch them play,
he thought he'd end it...for now. Breathing hard, he brought himself up to his
knees, and helped Carter do the same. Jack whispered to her, "I'm not done
yet Major, not by a long shot." Sam relishing in his playfulness retorted,
"Is that a threat or a promise?"
Jack now fully upstanding replied, "That's for me to know, and you to find
out."
It took them both an hour to finally get cleaned up, after several hours of
playful bantering, and telling jokes, the night fell quickly, the moon settling
overhead on the lake in front of them, it's reflection rippling in the lake
where they sat. Above the stars glistened in the heavens, it seemed as if the
whole world had gone to sleep. Now all it needed was for SG1 to retire for the
evening. Teal'c and Daniel both got up and said their goodnights leaving Jack
and Sam lying side-by-side next to the now dimly lit fire. Jack looked over to
Carter, he'd never seen her look so beautiful, her cheeks glowed from the heat
of the firelight; her eyes looked weary as if she could sleep for a week.
"Hey Carter, you look tired. Why don't you get changed and hit the sack.
I'll follow in a few minutes." Jack asked softly.
"You know what? I think I will turn in. Thanks for a great day, I really
enjoyed myself." She answered softly, allowing her to stretch for a moment
before she got up, and headed for the tent.
As Sam entered the tent, she switched on a lamp that illuminated the whole
canvass, and casually began to undress before Jack arrived. What Sam didn't
realise, was that by putting on the light, her silhouette showed clearly
through the fabric. Jack making sure the fire was extinguished before going to
bed cast his eyes towards the tent, and what he saw almost made his eyes pop
out. With the tent lit up against the night sky, he saw Carter stripping off,
watching as she undid her bra and placed it on the side. Seeing the contours of
her body against the fabric, he felt himself go incredibly hot at the sight
before him. Not connecting his flushed face to Carter, he believed that it was
just due to standing so close to the fire. Images assaulted his mind. The
intensity of the day they shared and knowing what he was feeling, he shook his
head and thought, "God, I could do with a cold shower right about
now!" Looking at the lake in front of him, temptation of jumping right
into it grew stronger. Unable to control it any longer he ran towards the lake
and threw himself in. The cold of the water had now taken away some of the sexual
urges he was feeling towards his 2IC.
They all heard it; Sam quickly shoved on her pyjama bottoms and tank top and
ran out of the tent as soon as they heard the splash in the water. Daniel and
Teal' had arrived just before she had to see the Colonel waist deep in cold
water.
Shaking his head at the sight of his friend shivering in the night Daniel
asked, "Um...Jack! What are you doing?"
Jack had never felt so cold, the ripples of the water continuing to lap up to
his waist. Jumping in had done the trick for the time being, but if he didn't
get out soon, his fingers wouldn't be the only thing that shrivelled in the
cold night air. "Um, Just fancied a quick swim, that's all."
"It is nearly midnight O'Neill, could this not have waited until
morning?" Teal'c enquired.
"Nope. Teal'c, sometimes a man just gets the urge." Jack paused
slightly; looking wistfully at Sam. "Um.. to swim."
Sam not realising the metaphor replied, "Sir, you're going to freeze to
death."
Even if Teal'c and Sam missed the metaphor, Daniel didn't and said, "Has the...um,
urge gone now Jack?"
"Oh yeah! Most definitely!" Jack answered his teeth chattering ever
so slightly as he made his way out the water.
Daniel laughed at the sight of Jack's pitiful look while Sam ran back into the
tent to get him a towel. Half an hour later Jack was completely dry. Daniel,
Teal'c and Sam had gone back to bed, leaving Jack to get changed outside. By
the time Jack had made it back inside, Sam was asleep. Snuggling down under the
sleeping back he cast a last glance at Carter; she looked so peaceful.
Whispering softly, he said, "G'Night Sam." Then fell into a heavy
sleep.
What must have been only a couple of hours later, Jack heard a buzzing sound
close to his ears. In an attempt to swat it away, his hand caught the object,
and the buzzing stopped. However when his hand impacted the object, he realised
it wasn't a bug, it was Carter, and she was snoring. "Like a 747!" he
thought half asleep. Turning over, he fell asleep once more, only to be
awakened by an even louder buzzing. His eyes heavy with sleep moved in the
direction of Carter as he began tapping her shoulder, "Carter." He
grumbled. "Turn over, you're snoring." Getting no response from her
he poked her in the back even harder, and shouted "Carter, f'crying out
loud, turn over."
Slightly waking from a peaceful sleep Sam murmured, "Sorry Sir." Then
turned back onto her stomach.
Waiting for a few minutes to see if she rolled back over, he lay watching her.
What he didn't realise that by watching her breath in and out, it seemed to be
having a hypnotic effect on him as he watched her chest rise and fall. Shaking
his head slightly, he began to feel like a peeping tom. So with that thought
coming to mind he turned himself over so he couldn't see her. As if on cue, just
as he was getting off to sleep, she started again, even louder. Rubbing his
hands over his face, he thought if things stayed like this all night he would
never get any sleep, so did the only thing he could do. Shimmying himself
closer to his 2IC he shook her vigorously until she was more or less wide
awake, and initially she wasn't too pleased with him. "What did you do
that for?"
"Carter, shut up and rollover towards me."
"Not now Sir, I'm tired." She replied still half asleep and not quite
sure who she was really talking to, believing this to be some part of her
dream.
Not taking 'no' for an answer, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her
towards him. Now fully awake, Sam was pleasantly surprised by how good this
felt with his arms wrapped casually around her, his hands lying loosely on her
waist. Jack felt her hot breath on his face, and he never realised how much of
an effect this would have on his own body. Feeling his heart race ten to the
dozen, Sam placed her hands on his bare chest, feeling his heart increase with
their bodies in close proximity. Neither of them dared say anything. Jack for
one couldn't quite trust his voice, fearing it would come out all croaky. Sam
looked deep into his eyes, and saw him wrestling with his emotions, weighing up
whether to take things one-step further, or stop it before things got too out
of hand.
"Sir?" Sam asked breathlessly.
"Um...you were...um, snoring, I couldn't sleep." Jack responded
uncomfortably.
"Sorry." Sam responded her nose wrinkling slightly.
"Soo" Jack said, not what sure what to say next.
"So"
Jack's head tilted down towards hers, and now looked deep into her eyes. His
body shivered involuntarily as her hand moved listless across his chest,
unaware of the impact this was having on certain parts of Jack's anatomy.
"Sam. We should really get some sleep. Why don't you turn over and I'll
hold you so you don't turn on to your back again. That way we can both get some
sleep." Jack suggested regrettably, his brain kicking in to gear, when
what he really wanted to do was make made passionate love to her.
Sam, still lost in his touch desperately wanted to take things to the next
level, but he was right. This wasn't the time and place, especially with having
Daniel and Teal'c right next door. So with that she removed her hands and
turned her body round, so that they were now spooned. She had to admit though
even in this position it felt erotic as his hands shifted position and lay them
just lightly under her tank top across her navel. His breath hot on her back,
she could tell that he was feeling the same things as she was. Enjoying the
moment once more, she asked cheekily "So is this number 2 then?" Then
giggled lightly as he pulled her closer, whispering, "No giggling Major."
Her last thought being, that this definitely was no sidearm pushed up against
her! Sam smiled to herself, and allowed herself to fall asleep in his arms.
