CHAPTER SIX

As Sam sat there with her knees pulled to her chest and the tears running down her cheeks, being washed away by the hot water, not believing he was gone. Her mind went back to the night that has caused all the trouble.

It had been a normal day. All Sam wanted to do was go home and have a warm bath and a glass of wine and enjoy a quiet night. Pete was still away, and she had her house to her self. But that had changed as soon as she pulled into her driveway.

Pulling into her drive Sam noticed the big Black F350 parked out the front with the owner of the vehicle leaning against the bulbar. She couldn't help it, but stare at his form. Dress in his casual clothes, he was a very handsome man. She had seen more of him in the lockers but in his civvies her mind worked overdrive.

Sam locked up her Volvo and walked to the front door. Walking across her front yard she greeted the Colonel with a smile and indicated that she was going inside and that he should follow her.

As she started to open her front door she turned and smiled at the sexy man standing in front of her. "Hi Sir! What can I do for you?" was all she could say before she had Jack's lips on hers. His hands cupping her face and he gently rubbed his thumbs along her cheeks, all while not stopping the kiss.

They stumbled through her front door, still kissing only stopping when they needed air. As they made there way down the hall into her lounge Jack nearly tripped a couple of time which made Sam giggle. "No giggling Major" in a playful tone. This only made her giggle more. Jack started undoing buttons on her blouse, she wonder what started this? Why was he here, doing things that she only imagined, why was she letting him?

His touch brought her out of her thoughts, sending tingles through her whole body, she started to lift his shirt up she couldn't stop but more importantly she didn't want to stop. Clothes were taken off and thrown around the room; they touched, kissed, watched and were lost in each other as they made there way to the bedroom.

As they got closer to the bed, the passion and intimacy got a lot more intense.

He laid her down on the bed and explored every inch of her body only stopping when he got a really good reaction. She rolled him over and explored every part of his body as well, neither one of them in a hurry so taking their time; they made love that lasted all night.

Sam opening her eyes felt a warm arm around her waist, she felt safe which is funny because of the out come, but she felt comfortable. She hadn't felt like this ever, she rolled onto her back leaving the arm around her looking at its owner she sighed. "It wasn't a dream?" She spoke out loud not meaning to but did anyway. "No it wasn't!" he answered as he opened his eyes. Looking at her he didn't know what her reaction will be and he felt her tense up under his arm.

"Why did you come over? Why did you kiss me? Why are you here in my bed? Oh my god! We broke the regs. What are we going to do? Pete?" Sam ranted as she jumped out of the bed taking the sheets with her leaving poor Jack butt naked lying on the bed. "Hey!" Jack started as they both realised Jacks predicament.

"Sorry!" Sam replied as she chucked her dressing gown to him.

Sitting up to cover himself Jack couldn't believe her reaction, well he could he just wished it wasn't.

"I…am …….sorry….I don't know what happened. I……….am think we need to get dressed!" Jack stuttered as he could feel himself getting aroused again just looking at her and the memories of last night. Sam agreed and left the room so Jack could get dressed. She still had the sheet around her when she got to the living room, realising that Jack's clothes were scatted all around the room she giggled to her self, they had fun last night! Picking up his clothes Sam heard the front door open "Don't be Pete, Don't be Pete!" thank god it was Janet.

"Sam it's just me!" Janet called not loud enough for Jack to hear, because as Sam greeted Janet (Jacks clothes in her hands) Jack came down announcing that

"My clothes must be down here cause there's not much of my cloths in your room!"

Sam lowered her head and Janet's jaw just hit the floor, Jack stoped dead in his tracks. Looking at Sam then Janet then at Sam again Jack saw his clothes in Sam's hands and pointed at them "Mine? I think I will go into the room to get dressed!" "You can have a shower if you like; the towels are in the hall closet." Sam replied.

"Thanks I think I will!" As Jack turned and walked away. He couldn't believe this caught by Janet.

"Um Sam you might want to go and get changed your self!" Pointing to the sheet that Sam was wearing.

"Thanks, I will, be back soon!" Sam said nervously.

Sam walked into her bedroom in a slight panic.

"What are we going to do?" Sam asked the room.

She got dressed and sat on her bed trying to get her thoughts together. No such luck though. She heard the bathroom door open and new that Jack was finished so she got up and walked out to the living room right behind Jack.

"Am Janet what are you going to do?" Jack asked not realising Sam was right behind.

"Sir how about what are we going to do we……we…..you know?" Sam still in shock.

"Ok both of you sit. I have made coffee and some toast. Both of you will eat and settle down." Janet started

"The reason I am here is because you both and Daniel have a virus. We didn't pick it up. We didn't know until Daniel started his little escapade." Jack and Sam both looked at Janet as if they were willing her to tell more. Maybe it was worst then what they got up to.

"So Doc what we did was caused by a virus. Like that Broca Divide thing?" Jack asked a little confused.

"Yes that's the best way to put it. You both are infected but it wasn't totally the virus it had to be what you wanted to! It works like alcohol but a lot more potent dose." Janet tried to explain.

"Am Janet are you going to report this?" Jack asked hoping that she wouldn't.

"Colonel I have to report that you are infected." Janet said in a sad tone but then it came to her "But I don't have to report the" she said waving her hands around hoping that they got what she was tiring to say "Doctor / Patient privilege. But you two have to talk this out before you go into work. I will give you half an hour before we have to go in!" She announced

"Why do we have to go to the Base?" Jack asked

"You still have the virus; I need to monitor your progress."

"But Janet can't we come in later give us a bit more time?" Sam pleaded

"Sorry Sam but NO!" Janet got up and left the house.

They had talk a little Jack said that he was sorry he should never of come around and that it was his entire fault. And he hoped that they could be friends still. Sam agreed that they will remain as friends but no one was to know because of Pete and there positions at work. That's where they left it, there was nothing said of regret just that they will remain friends and there relationship has not changed.

"WHAT DID WE KNOW!" Sam said as she came aware that she was still in the locker room showers. The tears had long gone and she felt drained.
