"The Tongue Thing"
Jack tapped a bit on his laptop. Daniel tapped his pen against the pad. Jack glanced up just as Daniel licked his lips.
For the fifth time.
In two minutes.
It was driving Jack nuts.
The way it would just flick out and wet Daniel's lips before retreating into that warm cavern of a mouth (Jack had to push aside sudden fantasies including said mouth) was enough to make any woman (and many a man) sweat.
There! Jack crowed mentally. He did it again!
Jack was always uncomfortably aware of the attention Daniel received from the female and a good portion of the male population on the base. Appreciative looks and speculative whispers followed him down a hall, while he stayed seemingly oblivious.
However, he knew something they didn't.
Daniel was taken.
Then Daniel's tongue flicked out and Jack couldn't take it any more. Daniel would have to stop or he'd jump the man.
"Daniel?" he growled low in his throat. The tone immediately made Daniel's head snap up, blue irises almost completely eclipsed by the pupils. Jack loved how he could manipulate the young man.
"Uhm," Daniel had to clear his throat, "Yeah?"
"Stop doing that!"
"What?"
"The tongue thing!"
"Uh, tongue…thing, Jack?" Daniel asked, raising an eyebrow slightly in confusion.
"Yeah! Where you lick your lips and make me want to jump you!" the older man said darkly.
"Oh…" Daniel said, once again licking his lips. "It's a habit…I don't even know when I'm doing it."
Jack's eyes were smoldering as he said, "I just remembered. I need something from the storage room. Would you like to accompany me?"
"Now, Jack?" Daniel whined. He gestured at his notebook with the pen, "I'm kind of busy."
"Either there or here, take your pick. Cause I'm going to have zero self control in about two minutes," Jack replied.
"Ah, then, sure, I'll…accompany you," Daniel said, standing up quickly, completely abandoning his notebook.
"That's my boy," Jack said with a smile.
Later
The two were tangled in each other, an emergency blanket from the shelf by their heads draped over their intertwined bodies.
"When I lick my lips, it really does get to you, doesn't it?" Daniel asked, a bit breathlessly.
Jack nuzzled Daniel's neck, nipping it affectionately then kissing it better. "You don't know how."
"I think I might have an idea," Daniel said dryly. Jack smirked.
"Hn. Ya think?"
Daniel spooned into Jack, remembering only minutes before.
"Perhaps."
