Chapter 66
Janet's POV
As the guys drape Jack in the native cloak, I pull out a bottle of Sam's perfume and spray it over several female volunteers in the room. Keja enters the tent and I deliberately miss her out.
Sam is disorientated and stands very still when they release her. Daniel brushes past her and I catch the half smirk on her face as she ignores the contact. Keja laughs and both Jack and Sam tense automatically. Jack heads towards the sound, occasionally stopping before shaking his head with a smile as a woman I sprayed earlier passes him.
Keja giggles again as the Colonel stands directly in front of her and steps close.
I hold my breath in anticipation as Sam almost reaches for Jack's jacket on Hugh's shoulders.
Then Jack executes a 180 degree spin and strides directly for Sam across the room. His hands reach for her wrist and rip off the band and I see Sam's face smile in relief before they kiss like they've been apart for days.
Olmas is laughing at the look on Daniel's and Ferretti's faces. They were so sure that without the benefit of their mental link or eyes, Jack and Sam would rely purely on scent and touch.
They forgot that long before we first visited P2Y-957 Jack and Sam were emotionally connected. Partly out of the trust that five years of working together, day in, day out creates, and partly out of the feelings that have grown into their current relationship.
"C'mon guys, get a room!" quips Ferretti, and Sam draws back, wearing a fiery blush. Jack winks at her and whispers something for her ears only, before pulling his jacket back on.
"So, we passed the test, right?"
"With flying colours sir." I reply.
"Sweet."
Sam looks at him oddly as we leave the tent, but he sends her a quietening glance and she schools her features into innocence as we make our way through the crowds. I narrow my eyes in suspicion as he stops Olmas just outside the tent and pulls her aside to talk quietly.
