Sam and Daniel made love all night, till the early hours of the morning. They finally fell asleep content and exhausted in each others arms. It was Daniel who awoke first, the first rays of sunlight shinning through his window, piercing his brain. To him at had felt like a band was playing all the heavy stuff in his head. He squinted in the light, trying to make out the form sleeping peacefully next to him. He remembered it all, the movies, beer, the board game, and he couldn't forget the kiss they had shared. The hang over wasn't that bad, but it hurt. He needed coffee. He contemplated if he should wake Sam up or not, he turned and looked, at her brushing a stray piece of hair out of her eyes. He thought better of it till he had coffee waiting. He got up and threw on a pair of sweats and moved out of the bedroom to start the coffee.
Sam was not a morning person; it had to do with that whole get out of bed at the crack of dawn thing. Being in the military she had no choice but if she could she would sleep in till the afternoon. Her mind worked better at night and late day. She couldn't figure out what woke her up but it was something. As soon as she opened her eyes she knew where she was, the only thing she couldn't figure out was were was Daniel.
Fear griped her like a vice as thoughts started to run through her head. 'Was she that bad? Was it just mindless sex? What if he doesn't feel the same?' She thought she was going to have a full blown panic attack, something a major in the United States Air Force does not do. She started to calm down when she realized that Daniel would not use her like that. She remembered what had happened last night, the things they said to each other as they were making love.
He had told her that he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. When he said those words it sent a thrill up her spine like liquid fire, better then anything he was doing to her at that moment. She had told him she loved him too and would like nothing more then to spend the rest of her life with him. She also did more then tell him, she showed him as well.
Sam had never in her life thought that two people could be so compatible. The only thing she regretted about last night was the drinking. Hangovers are not something you ever get used to; each one is different and equally annoying.
Sam threw the covers off her body and slid out of bed, none too gracefully either. She rummaged around and managed to pull on large t-shirt of Daniel's. She took a moment to compose herself before the smell of coffee entered her nostrils. It was like a beacon, her body went on automatic pilot and drifted toward the smell.
Daniel was in the kitchen munching on some toast and drinking coffee when he heard the door to his bedroom open and a bleary eyed Sam walk out. He had to smile at that, she looked adorable wearing nothing but his t-shirt. He knew what woke her up and dragged her out of bed this morning; he waited for her with a cup of coffee in his hand.
Sam reached Daniel, who had a goofy grin on his face. She didn't really care about that at the moment, she just wanted Coffee! She took the cup from his hands and took a gulp, relishing in the caffeine that went straight into her blood supply.
"Good morning," Daniel said, still smiling at her. He didn't know if she remembered what had happened. From the look on her face and the fact that she was still in his apartment wearing his t-shirt, she probably did.
Sam grimaced slightly at the sound of his voice, too dam loud. She sipped her coffee and smiled. He is such a morning person, she thought. But he was her morning person and she wouldn't have it any other way.
"Morning… Thank you for the coffee." She sipped again. She looked into his eyes and saw them questioning her. She knew what the question was and she had already figured out her answer.
"No regrets. No matter what happens. I loved every minute of it." She paused for a second. "I want to see where this leads us. We have seven days and I plan on spending those entire seven days with you. I hope…" She paused long enough to sip her coffee and collect her thoughts again. "I hope that we end up spending the rest of our lives together. I love you Daniel. And I don't care who knows it."
Sam's proclamation of love and that she had no regrets from last night sent Daniel's heart soaring to another plane of existence. He moved around the counter and took Sam's free hand into his and smiled at her.
"I love you too and have no regrets. No matter what I don't want this to ruin what we had before. I want to see where this leads us as well." He gently stroked her cheek with his other hand. "I don't think seven days is nearly enough time to spend with you. I want to spend my whole life with you. I know that I want to raise a family, and grow old with you." Daniel thought for a second, maybe he was going a bit fast, but it was how he felt. Nothing in the world could change that.
Sam looked into his eyes and kissed his hand as it neared her mouth. "I love you too Daniel and that is what I want too." She set her coffee down and pulled him into a hug. She enjoyed the warmth that spread through her as he wrapped his arms around her back.
Daniel moved into the hug, wrapping his arms around her body. He winced slightly as she brushed over a tender spot on his back. Unfortunately Sam noticed and drew back and looked at him.
"What's wrong?" She asked him, worry in her eyes. She moved to get a look at his back when he stopped her…
"Nothing, it was just some marks that I got from a feisty, blue eyed, blond haired woman I met last night. She umm, kind of got carried away in the throes of passion and left some trails down my back." He grinned as he saw the look of embarrassment on her face.
"Feisty huh, you haven't seen feisty yet mister…" In the span of two seconds she had launched herself from her stool, latched onto his wrist and hip tossed him to the ground, where she promptly sat on him with his hands firmly clasped over his head.
She leaned down and started to kiss his neck, slowly moving up his jaw line to his lips. All the while she was moving her hips against him, making sure to drive him insane.
Daniel didn't know what hit him, one minute he was talking, and then next he was on the floor with Sam on top of him. He felt her kisses along his neck, working their way up to his jaw, then to his lips. Which he wanted more. He wanted to wrap his arms around her, run his hands through her hair, drag his fingers up and down her back but he couldn't. This highly skill Air Force officer had him pinned. He wasn't complaining, but what she was doing with her hips was completely unfair. Why did god make women so torturous? He had to do something! Suddenly Sam got up and started making her way to the bathroom, swaying her hips back and forth. He was pretty sure she was smiling.
Sam knew what she was doing; it was just a little bit of teasing. She knew that by tonight he would get even. Just the thought of that sent shivers down her spine. She stepped into the bathroom leaving the door open; hoping Daniel would get the hint to join her in the shower. She started the water and pulled off the t-shirt and discarded it in the floor.
She looked back as she stepped into the shower. Daniel heard the water start and realized what Sam was doing. He dropped the coffee mugs into the sink and moved toward the bathroom. He noticed the door was open and grinned. He would get payback for what she had just done to him.
He stepped into the bathroom and pulled off his sweat pants he was wearing and pushed the curtain aside and smiled.
Sam heard the curtain slide over and turned to look at Daniel. "What took you so long?" She asked reaching out for him and pulling him into the shower with her and capturing his lips with hers.
Daniel let himself be pulled into the shower, letting her lips descend upon his, as he wrapped his arms around her and enjoyed the feeling of her wet body against his.
