Slight Spoilers for Season 7 and 8

Sam's POV

Sam let herself into her house after Jack had dropped her off. She had invited him in for coffee but Jack declined. She understood why he didn't accept her offer the sexual tension between them was at breaking point and it wouldn't take much to convince Jack to spend the night in fact Sam would have gladly asked him to but she knew that he would never risk both their careers. Sam respected that.

Sam walked into the kitchen placing her keys and bag on the counter and poured herself another glass of wine before she headed out to the back deck. 'Oh God, What a night.' she thought. Sam sipped her wine wondering why things never went smoothly. She knew that the feelings for her General were still there she just didn't realize that they were as stronger than ever before.

Then her thoughts drifted to that mind blowing kiss she couldn't help but smile. She hadn't had a night this good in a long time. Sam finished her wine and locked up her house, Sam knew tonight wouldn't be plagued by nightmares like every-other night had been recently she was a little sad that she wouldn't be spending it in Jack's arms.

Sam had a quick shower and brushed her teeth then climbed into bed she slipped under the covers with a smile on her face tonight's dreams would be pleasant.

Jack's POV.

After Jack dropped Sam at her house he did a U turn and headed home. Deep in though about what had happened tonight he wasn't paying attention to his speed.

Jack almost didn't see the flashing blue and red lights behind him but for the blast of the police siren broke him out of his reverie. Jack pulled his black truck over to the road shoulder. Jack reached for his wallet and pulled his license out of his wallet and registration papers out of the glove box. Jack stepped out of the car with the keys in his hand.

"Good evening officer what can I do for you" Jack said in his best General's voice he could muster.

"Step away from the vehicle and keep your hands where I can see them. " The officer commanded. Jack did as he was told and laid his id's on the hood of the truck.

"What seems to be the problem here officer" Jack asked.

"You were doing 45mph in a 35mph zone. I'll have to write you up for that. License and Registration please " the officer stated. 'Damn just what I need another round of drivers education' Jack thought as he handed over his id's and registration papers the officer stepped up to collected the paperwork without taking his eyes off Jack.

"Do you you have any reason for driving at that speed" the officer checked.

"No, Officer I don't " Jack replied. The officer seemed to hesitate sightly before looking down at the id's in his hand his drivers license and then at the id behind it as was more than a little surprised to see that he had pulled over a Brigadier General.

"Oh, sorry about that Sir" the officer said respectfully. Jack gave a small grin being a General does have it's privileges.

"That's quiet alright. You're just doing your job" Jack said. The officer looked at the General again and noticed the slight smug of lipstick on his lips. The officer started to put two and two together.

"I tell you what I'll let you off with a caution and just keep a eye on your speed next time." The young officer handed him his id's back and gave Jack a wink as he walked off. Jack was a little stunned that he had escaped a ticket that easily but didn't give the officer a chance to change his mind and he jumped back into his truck.

Jack got back in his car slightly confused as to what just happened. When he looked in the rear-view mirror he got his answer he was still wear Sam's lipstick. Jack chuckled as he started the truck and headed home.

Jack kicked off his shoes when he walked in the door and headed for the kitchen to grab a beer. He couldn't believe how well tonight had gone plan A had worked well so far. Jack smiled to himself he was sure now that Sam felt the same way about him as he did about her. Jack turned on the TV and flicked over to the replay of the hockey game that was on earlier tonight. Jack sipped on his beer and eventually fell asleep on the couch dreaming of the women he loved.

Earlier that evening

After Pete had rung Sam earlier in the evening he couldn't get out of his mind that something was off with her. After he had been relieved by his partner for the night it was close to midnight.

Pete rang Sam's lab number to see if he could bring her anything or if she was ready to go home for the night. To Pete's surprise he got her voice-mail message he decided not to leave a message as she was probably in the middle of something and had only left her office for a couple of minutes. So Pete decided he would head down to the local pub and have a couple of drinks before trying Sam again.

3 Drinks later Pete decided to give her another call when he got Sam's voice-mail he thought that was strange but then he thought that she might have gone home for the evening "Hi Babe, I've just finished my watch and was wondering if your anywhere near finished I was hoping we could grab a drink and have some fun. " leaving the suggestive message on her answering service.

After hanging up he tried her home number. When he got her answering machine there he wondered where she was he hung up without leaving a message.

He knew she wasn't due to go Off world for another couple of days so he dismissed it and went back to the hotel room he was starting to wish that he had gone to dinner with Dave and the others. Pete grabbed the bottle of scotch from the mini bar and drank the last half of the bottle. He finally fell in to a deep drunken sleep wondering what was up with Sam.

A/N I probably won't be able to post a new chapter for at least 2 days as we are losing power her for 8 hours tomorrow due to major electricity upgrade. But I'll try and have something up shortly there after. If you live in Australia you know just how unreliable the electricity companies can be.
