Disclaimer: Stargate is not mine...there I admit it...they say that is the first step...
Summary: Well, I'm sorry for being so mean with the last two chapters...and I just can't end this the way "They" would... "They" being the powers that be...so I'm stepping away from my usual realistic episode stuff and taking a walk on the wild side...hope you like...
Carter walked down the hall feeling as though she'd let go of something...something she'd held on too far too long...
It had weighed on her shoulders for too many years, made her second guess her actions and threatened to affect her decisions at work.
But now, even if it hadn't been her Jack that she had said everything too...even though he hadn't really heard her words...it was a beginning...it was a start and she knew that one day...maybe...if she had a chance to tell him everything in her heart that it wouldn't kill her...like she thought it would...
She stopped and pressed the call button for the elevator. Taking a moment to smile inwardly, she couldn't help but feel free...a little more light on her feet and-
She heard the pounding footsteps behind her as the elevator doors opened.
She didn't even have a chance to turn around before someone had a firm grip on her arm and was pulling her into the elevator.
It was one smooth motion, almost like a dance.
The grip on her arm turned her against the far wall of the elevator.
Before she could take a breath to protest her own mouth was covered by another and the strongest arms pulled her into an embrace that sent electricity up her spine.
Caught of guard, she didn't even think to push away or fight to break free...she was practically limp in the arms that embraced her...pulling her closer and tighter every moment that he devoured her...
Something was familiar...almost...it was the after shave...
"OH MY GOD!" Her conscious rang out.
Very gradually, as though in slow motion, his hold on her softened...yet still held her as close. Their lips parted and Carter found herself drained of the surge of energy she has felt only moments before...
Blinking her eyes open she focused on the face that hovered only inches away from her own...
"Guess who..."
The voice was clear as a bell, looking into the deep soulful brown eyes that stared back at her...that were just begging for a sign of understanding...she wavered...and felt the room as it started spinning...
