SORRY it took sooooo long!

A/N: again, reviews were tops, THANKYOU!

Just answering a query from Emsta; Em, that is why I put their aliases from the Cayman Islands, Cayman participates in the winter Olympics, and sends a team every year, but isn't all that competitive… so it is still plausible. I'm sorry that I didn't go into detail of their aliases, I really couldn't be bothered and anyway, that isn't the point. But basically, the story is that Mac and Harm (or Jacinta & Connor) were born in the Cayman, but spend most of their time in the States, training (like most ice dancers do that are not from hard-core skating countries) which is why they sound American. If you have any questions about their story/aliases that don't get eventually answered, review them to me, and I'll give everyone a heads up.

AND, Australia isn't that bad! Natalie Buck & Trent Nelson-Bond (Oz's rep. ice dancers) did pretty good at worlds, considering its Australia and all…

Also, I'll try to make the chapters a little longer; it's just tricky with everything, trying to get it all out quickly.

Ooh, I know this A/N is long, but I heard about the series finale, may I say WOO HOO for Harm and Mac! Personally, there should've been more sex… but that's just me ;)

Hope you enjoy this installment,

Go nuts :)

Vic rushed into the Bullpen, and tried to walk as casually as possible to where he spied Harriet sitting at her desk.

"Uh, excuse me, Ma'am, I was just wondering, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure Lieutenant, shoot."

Harriet eyed the man with a warm smile, which had become her trademark.

"I just saw the Colonel and the Commander out in the Car park in their civilian clothes, talking about their morning and how they went ice skating. I was just wondering if you knew anything about it, it's just a little unusual for lawyers to be skating, and so maybe you could shed some light onto the situation."

Harriet's eyes opened wide as she took in what he had just said, Mac and Harm, ice skating!

'something is up; I know them, and there is no way they would EVER go ice skating, especially on a work day! Hmmm…' Outwardly, Harriet just smiled politely, and as nonchalantly as she could said:

"Umm, no Lieutenant, I don't know anything about the Colonel or the Commander going skating today, but I'm not sure it isn't your business to concern yourself with their affairs, it's probably nothing that needs a great deal of explanation"

"Yeah, you're right Ma'am, have a nice day." And he left, smiling to himself. 'My work here is done!'

Meanwhile…

1305,

Harm's apartment

"Oh, thank GOD!" Mac and Harm burst through the door and rushed to the kitchen.

"Where is the spaghetti?"

"In the cupboard on the left"

They worked in silence as they moved as one through the kitchen, very hastily preparing their food. Within minutes, Harm had about 50 slices of toast cooked and buttered, Mac had nuked a bowl full of spaghetti so it was nice and hot, and cut up some fruit in a bowl they sat down at the table, and still in silence - each one appreciating and understanding the other's need for food - they tucked in heartily.

About 30 seconds later

"Oh, yeah, that hit the spot! I feel sooo much better now!" Mac yawned when they had finished their makeshift meal, "But I could use a nap!"

"Yeah, I feel a bit drowsy myself… maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if we take a power nap" Harm thought for a moment, "do you want the bed or the couch?"

"Erm…" Mac thought "I really don't feel like napping on your couch, and you wont fit on it, so how's about we both just sleep in your bed?"

Mac finished her sentence and looked at Harm.

"Uh, ok… so you don't have a problem with that?"

"Oh, come on Harm, it's not like we haven't slept together before!"

Mac stopped and blushed furiously when it suddenly dawned on her what she said.

"I mean, it's just a nap, it'll be fine!"

She covered, trying to reassure them both with her tone, but neither of them were sure what might happen if they shared a bed, after all, things were rocky lately - and besides, they didn't think that they could control themselves if placed next to the other.

"Yeah, I guess that will be O.K, I'll just clear up our mess and you can go and pick your position… I mean side"

It was Harm's turn to blush furiously as he embarrassedly stammered over his words.

'Oh God, Sarah MacKenzie… in bed… in YOUR bed…oooh… Sarah Mackenzie naked…oh GOD!' As his mind shamelessly wandered, Mac made her way towards the bedroom, with thoughts of her own.

'Oookay, now which side do you think he likes? Ummm, I wouldn't have a clue… oh well, too bad; I'll just take the side that I like, and he can have the other one.'

And she went over to the left side of the bed, touched the fabric of Harm's bed spread, pulled back the covers, and gently laid herself down with her head on the pillow.

'Oh, this is nice. I am sooooo tired… But I'll be damned if I can sleep! I am lying in Harm's bed! Harmon David Rabb Jr's bed! Commander Harmon David Rabb Jr's BED! oooh!'

Mac was tingling with excitement, and she realized how school-girlish she sounded. 'But he is so cute!' She argued, 'And I'm in his BED!' so, feeling like a teenager was acceptable in this case.

'Mac naked… Mac in the shower…naked…Mac in my bed…naked…Mac…naked…with a …Ok!' Harm was still in the same spot as he was 5 mins ago, letting his wicked imagination run wild.

'Enough of this Rabb, lock it up. It is NAP TIME, not feisty dominatrix time' and so after putting the plates in the sink, and splashing his face with cold water, he went into his bedroom.

The first thing he saw was Mac curled up as far to the left side as possible, her nose scrunched up as she slept in this cute little position, and his heart melted. He fell in love with her all over again, and just stood by the door, watching her lie so peacefully. Unbeknownst to Harm, Mac still wasn't asleep, and was wondering what Harm was doing standing at the door for three minutes and twelve seconds. So she turned over and opened her eyes. Harm almost jumped when she did this, he was deep in thought about how much he loved Mac when she turned and opened her eyes, catching him off guard.

"Hey sailor, did you fall asleep standing up?"

"No, I was just thinking" He replied as he took off his shoes and walked over to the bed.

"About?"

"How you knew which side I liked"

"Oh, you like the right side? Lucky guess then! I always sleep on the left, that is the side closest to the door in my room, so it feels more comfortable"

"That works out nicely then" He said, as he thought; 'Oh my GOD! She likes the left side! This is too perfect! We fit so well together.'

After about 10 minutes, they were still awake, and getting annoyed with themselves - they were soooo incredibly tired, why wouldn't sleep come? "Harm, are you awake?"

"Yeah. You?"

"What do you think smart one? I can't get to sleep, but I really, really, really need to!"

"I know, I can't get to sleep either… but I'm not surprised that you cant, you're practically falling off the side of the bed! Move in closer, I won't bite"

'No? But I want you to…Jeez, Marine! FOCUS, don't think that! But he is so sexy… his lips, his ARMS! GOD!'

Mac slowly edged in closer to Harm, unsure of what to do, or even if she should be doing anything… but it didn't matter, because a strange numbness had taken over her body, and she couldn't feel anything but tingles.

'Whoa, this is what he does to me' she thought, as it was his turn to snuggle closer to her, Mac was going absolutely crazy inside, and she was having trouble forming understandable thoughts in her head. 'Oooooh I cant let him get to me like this; it is completely…whats the herd? I mean word? Ah, ridiculous. This is completely ridiculous. But soo nice.'

As Harm wrapped his arms around Mac, a strong sense of comfort drifted over him, as if putting his arms around her was an instinct he had ignored forever. He watched her close her eyes and relax her head against his arm, when a piece of hair fell in front of her face. With a trembling hand he gently brushed it behind one of her ears, and couldn't help noticing the way she shivered with desire as his hand brushed a spot just under the lobe.

'Ah, so that's what gets her…' he thought, still remembering that he had to pay her back for that stunt she and Lise pulled on the ice.

So deliberately, he ran his middle finger ever so lightly over that same spot again, grinning to himself as Mac tried to ignore how her heart sped up a couple of thousand beats.

Leaning down, Harm trailed his lips over her ear, and down to the spot; eliciting a gasp from Mac who was fighting with her blood desire to kiss him senseless - and she was loosing.

So. rolling onto her back she looked up at Harm, who was still grinning devilishly, and her stomach made up the rest of her mind as she looked into his gorgeous blue eyes and decided to do it. She was going to kiss him.

She leaned up towards his face and closed her eyes, his breath making her lightheaded, until they were so close that their lips were millimeters apart. Harm didn't think he could pull his payback plan off; his body was screaming at him to kiss her, and it took all of his willpower to keep a level head; this was Mac here! But he had to make her pay, and right now she was exactly where he wanted her…

He waited until she leaned in to close the distance between them, and then gently pulled back, causing her forehead to crinkle slightly in a cute, confused frown. She opened her eyes a little and looked up at him questionably.

"what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing" he replied innocently, still stringing her along.

She closed her eyes again, and leaned in for the second time, only to feel Harm pull back AGAIN.

"Harm, what's the matter?" She was getting frustrated now, how could he look at her like that, smell so good, be so damn hot and not kiss her?

"Well, I am paying you back for that trick you played at the rink today. I told you I'd get you back!" He felt triumphant; he had gotten her back, AND was going to kiss her - just after she squirmed a little more.

"What? You mean this is payback! I cant believe you! Here I was, out of my mind with…sexual tension, and all you could think of was getting me back! Do you even want to kiss me? Because --- "

She was cut off as Harm wreaked his sweet vengeance with her mouth.

Aye aye aye! I certainly took my time, didn't I! sooo sorry for the lengthy pause between updates, and also for the short chapter, but I'm up to my ponytail in school crap, and training, and all sorts of stuff like you wouldn't believe… or maybe you would… but it's getting there, bare with me!

Cheers,

Haylee :)
