Disclaimers in part 1
I did all my own betaing. So any mistakes are mine and mine alone.
Sam arrived at the General's house about 10 mins late. She took her helmet off and taking the desert out of the gear sack on the back of her bike.
Sam knocked on the front door hearing the guys inside.
"Hey Carter" Jack said as he opened the door. Trying to change the channel on the TV to the Simpson's as he opened the door for her. Jack was getting frustrated with the remote and why it wasn't working and he hadn't yet looked up to see Sam.
"Hi Sir, Sorry I'm late I brought a peace offering though." Jack turned to look at what she had brought when he caught sight of just what she was wearing. Jack's jaw hit the floor and all his blood started running south. 'Who needed a peace offering when you turn up looking like that!' Jack thought.
Sam only now realised what she was wearing. "So have you got room in the fridge for this." she said as she walked past him using her free hand to close his jaw for him with a small snap. Jack broke out of his gaze.
"Yeah sure." he said as he turned to watch her walk into his kitchen dressed in her leathers. Jack felt him self responding to her touch.
"Help yourself to a beer, Carter." he said taking one final look at her before he headed back to the lounge room.
"Here Daniel you see if you can get it to work" Jack said throwing the remote to Daniel as he sat down pulling a throw pillow over his lap to hide his growing arousal.
"Jack I have already tried and it wouldn't work for me." Daniel told him.
Sam overheard the conversation between her team mates. Opened Jack's 3rd kitchen draw and grabbed 2 batteries that were sitting in the top of the junk drawer. With beer in one hand and batteries with the other she headed into the lounge room.
"Hi Teal'c, Daniel." She said walking towards the couch. Teal'c looked up and raised an eyebrow as he took in her appearance.
"Hey Sam see if you can get this thing to work" Daniel said tossing her the remote and finally taking in her look. "Wow Sam you look great." Daniel told her.
Sam blushed and turned her attention to the remote control as she plopped down on the couch Sam quickly flicked the cover off the back of it and replaced the batteries. She pushed the button to the channel that the Jack had wanted to begin with.
"Alright Carter how on earth did you get that to work" Jack asked finally able to regain his composure and be able to form complete sentences again.
She tossed the batteries to the Jack "When was the last time you changed the batteries, Sir?" She asked.
"Oh the last time you changed them!" Jack retorted with a smirk. "So Carter how was the ride?" Jack asked her trying to change the subject.
"Oh it was really great. I don't get to do it nearly as often as I like." she said.
"Oh. I thought that you and Pete would go riding all the time" Daniel stated.
Sam didn't miss the Jack's reaction at the mention of Pete.
"Oh. He doesn't like me riding at all. He thinks it's dangerous" Sam told them flatly, disappointment evident in her voice.
The conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Hey Carter you wanted your usual didn't you?" Jack had ordered guessing that she would. Sam never varied from her regular pizza. Jack opened the door handing the money to the delivery driver and taking the steaming boxes from him. Giving the delivery boy a generous tip.
"Do I ever have anything else" Sam retorted playfully. Teal'c couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the difference in behaviour of his two team mates.
Jack dropped the pizza boxes on the coffee table.
"Anyone want a refill?" Jack asked heading to the kitchen to grab a couple more beers.
"I'm good thanks, Sir" Sam said
"I'll go another one" Daniel called out as Jack reached the kitchen. Jack mentally counting that this was Daniel's third beer and he would have to make sure one of his last. Daniel with a hang over wasn't much fun to deal with.
Jack brought the extra drinks back to the lounge room. Sam and Jack both reached for the pizza box at the same time. As their fingers touched both felt the electricity pass between them. Sam looked into his eye's she felt the familiar quickening of her heart at his touch. She gave him a brilliant smile as he offered for her to go first.
Jack knew this was going to be a long night as he struggled for control of his overly reactive body.

Please read and review. (Yes folks the next couple of chapters are going to fog up a few mirror's ... I know I know I'm evil. I'll post again soon.)
