Authors Notes

-Despite me stopping writing to get some sleep I ended up watching the Stargate film, the people who play Daniel and Jack are different and the effects and sets are a bit primitive but overall it was quite enjoyable! I recommend watching it; Daniel is rather amusing in parts!

- Time for a bit of Jack I feel, lets see what he thinks… there might be a bit of sexual content in this chapter so watch out if you don't like fics with a little bit of that in them…

- I am actually in need of a beta for this fic, is anyone interested in working with me for a while to get the full potential out of this storyline? Obviously you get sneak previews and stuff and I am not particularly bossy or protective of my work when it comes to criticism. It would be preferable for you to have msn messenger but it is obviously not a demand, please mention in a review if you are interested (btw this isn't just a cheap way of getting more reviews! lol)

Chapter 2: Inevitable Call

Jack had tried to ignore the harsh tones of his phone from inside the house, he had turned his cell off to get some peace and was about to throw the damned house phone into the lake if it didn't stop the incessant ringing! He was certain that he hadn't been handing out his home phone number to everyone but somehow they always managed to find him and immensely irritate him when he purely wanted to bask in the solitude fishing often gave to everyone that wasn't him, break away from the world and the next impending disaster. Perching his fishing rod against the back door he wandered into the house, grabbed a beer from the fridge and cast a glance over to the answer machine which flashed with three new messages, it was actually a rather pleasant surprise since the message count was usually nearer to the twenties, the first one boomed in General Hammonds surly voice;

'I'm sorry Jack but we are going to have to cut your leave, the azguard have requested a meeting with you about the growing threat of the replicators, I expect to see you in the briefing room tomorrow at 09:00 hours, call me if you fall into some life threatening situation and can't make the briefing,' Jack tittered at Hammond's attempt at humor, he had his moments but George Hammond was overall a serious military man, a second message interrupted his thoughts

'Jack, hi, it's Daniel, obviously you are fishing at the moment and won't be pleased about my call but I found some new information about the replicators and thought you might want to hear it before you speak to the azguard tomorrow, call me back if you are interested,' Jack rolled his eyes, he could have had a message from his parents or something so it sounded like he actually had a life, the third voice although softer than the previous two, nearly made him spray beer around the kitchen, fortunately he only dropped the can – minimal mess, minimal clean up

'Hi Sir, it's Sam, I didn't see you in the commissary this morning after… well I was told that you went home, was it because…? Well…did I…? Well, umm anyway, if you want to umm, talk well I'm pretty much always here so…yeah, so I guess we'll talk later…sorry…Bye Sir,' Jack stood for a moment taken aback, it was definitely the most unusual message he had ever received from Carter but he also knew that every stutter was not misplaced, guilt crept into his mind for leaving her this morning, she thought she had done something wrong but there was nothing…she was amazing, he realized he was stumbling over his own thoughts, trying to avoid a recollection of what happened. The truth is it shouldn't have happened, he had restrained himself before, he knew the consequences of their actions could be catastrophic for their careers if they were ever found out, in a way it was cruel, they were so close now, he had touched her skin, felt her lips but rules and regulations once again tore them apart, they had been too close and now they both had to separate, both had to detach.

He wandered outside again, closing his eyes and feeling the gentle breeze caress his skin, the summer air a sweet scent, memories rushed forth like they were pouring from a tap, he had pinned her to the door as he kissed her, their bodies were against each other, like pieces of a puzzle, a perfect match, destined to be slotted together and added as another couple to the six billion piece puzzle that created the bigger picture, their lust drove them around the room, clothes were abandoned as they craved each other's flesh, Animal instinct brought them crashing back to basics, each kiss was a feast to their passion-starved bodies, tongues explored, eyes delved deeper until

'Are you sure…Sam,' he had asked her among the sweet nothings he whispered in her ear 'Are you sure?'

'yes,' she whispered, they both lived in that moment, common sense was mere theory between them, rules were gone, his vision narrowed to the beautiful emerald eyes that gazed back at him, no inhibitions, no future, just now, just her...sometimes it scared him how self-less she could make him, he realized with a jolt of his heart that he would die for her, he had fallen so hard for her that he could have hit rock bottom and still not even begun to fall. On the other hand he felt extreme stupidity, sure enough she had seduced him in the first place but that was mainly because of the stuff in that atmosphere, he recalled their fingers had touched and since then everything had been a mix of lust and muddled emotions, he remembered what he had said to her – "you can be addicted to me any day coz God knows I am already addicted to you," a cheesy line to be sure but that line had started it all, from then on reality had flown out the window and he had a feeling things were far from over. Striding determinedly back into the house he picked up the phone and dialled her number

'Samantha Carter,' she answered the phone, completely unaware of who was on the other end of the line 'Hello?' she asked when she got no response. Jack opened his mouth to answer but instead of speaking slammed the receiver back on the hook, a moment later he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed, wasn't he supposed to be at least acting like he was in control of the situation? Instead Sam had company in falling apart, stutters and mumbles, not quite knowing what to say. How could it feel so right and then end up so wrong the morning after? Plus he was starting to think way to deeply into things when he could just go over and talk with her. Making his mind up before he could find some reason not to go and talk to Sam he grabbed his car keys and Jacket and headed off towards the Cheyenne Mountain complex, they couldn't keep dancing around each other forever.

Okay, promise for a longer chapter might have been misplaced there, chapter three might be another short one because they are going to talk and God knows no one wants them to start getting all long-winded and soppy.

Although I can't really promise for longer chapters since I can't see into the future I can promise you that things are gonna start getting a little more exciting from chapter 4, just please bear with me for the minute!

You know how I love reviews! (or if you don't you do now! lol) all I can ask is pretty please with a cherry on top?
