The shopping trip of Sam and Vala had gone smoothly especially because Vala had taking charge of everything and Sam just said 'yes' and rarely 'no'. In the end, Sam had a beautiful evening black dress, black high heels and a high couture hand bag that Jack would fell when he found out the price tag. The Victoria Secrets lingerie shop bag had taken more time than the entire shopping and only when Vala blackmail that she would leave the shop in her bra and panties alone then Sam bought the pieces and stop complaining.
When the four friends were back together in the townhouse was already very late. Sam, Daniel and Vale had already had dinner because Jack had called to say he would arrive very late. Daniel and Vala had already gone to their room and Sam decided to stay in the living room couch watching TV. She was fast asleep when Jack arrived home.
Jack put his jacket and hat in the entrance, took his shoes and went to the living room where his wife was asleep in the couch while a movie with almost no sound was on TV. Jack pick up the remote and shut down the TV. Sam was in her PJs, bare feet and sound asleep. Carefully he picked her up and took her to their bedroom. His knees protested soundly but he ignored them. He lay her down gently on the bed and covered her, giving her a kiss in her forehead. Then he went to the bathroom to have a quick shower. He was exhausted. When he returned, Sam was still sound asleep. In his boxers he entered the bed and turned off the light. Quietly he moved closed to her, burying his face in her throat. She smelled like vanilla from her shampoo and Jack gave her gentle kisses. She moaned in her sleep. In a few minutes Jack as asleep.
When Sam wake up she was cuddling Jack, felling all warm and fuzzy. She didn't remember at all getting to bed.
"Sleep well?" Jack asked her taking one hair from her face.
"I don't remember getting to bed…" she said yawing.
"I brought you. You were asleep in the couch" he said smiling.
"Jack, your knees" she said moving her hands to his knees massaging them.
"Are very good, thank you but you can continue" he said smiling even more.
She took her hands immediately and he regret the comment.
"You don't have to worry about them" he said more seriously.
"Ok", she simply said avoid looking at him.
Jack pick her chin and made her look at him.
"Sam, why did you tell Daniel and Vala that you're thinking of resigning your commission?" he asked furrowing his brow.
Sam blushed.
"It was just a thought. I haven't decided anything yet" she quickly said.
Jack grabbed her hand and interlinked their fingers.
"You didn't tell me", he said.
"No I didn't" she admitted.
"Why?"
"In case you haven't notice we're having some communication problems" she said playing with their hands.
Jack grabbed her other had.
"We always solved our problems, one way or other" he said seductively.
Sam blushed from her head to her neck. His lips start trailing down her neck.
"Is this ok? he asked looking at her.
"Hum…hum" she said biting her lip.
Smiling, Jack continued.
"I also gave my resignation letter to the President" he informed between kisses.
"WHAT?" she almost jumped the bed but his hands grabbing hers hold her down to the mattress.
His mouth continued to taste her freckled skin.
"He didn't accept. And he won't accept yours either. So don't even think about it" he said kissing her deeply.
Sam was having difficult to keep a coherent line of thought with his constant kissing but she tried nevertheless.
"Why did you offer your resignation, Jack?" she managed to asked as his lips reached one of her breasts and he started sucking a nipple.
Sam arched her back and gasped. "Oh, Fuck".
Jack moved to the other nipple and applied the same treatment. Sam's eyes were now closed and she was focusing on the blissful pleasure he was so expertly giving her.
"Article 133 - Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and Gentleman" he said as he stopped kissing her and lifted his head to brush away hair from her face.
"Dear God, you didn't?" she asked closing her eyes.
"It was the only thing to do, Sam. I couldn't lie to the President", he admitted.
"Let me go", she asked.
Jack looked confused for a moment but did what she asked and got himself from her, lying on his back breathing heavily.
"We have to stop mixing foreplay and sex with serious conversations, Jack", she said pushing the covers back on.
"I know but it is very difficult to have a serious conversation with you in bed" he admitted.
She had to smile.
"Nevertheless, we have to keep thigs apart", she insisted.
"If you want to, ok. I'll do my best" he said staring at the ceiling and waiting for his hard on to deflate.
"Please do", she asked.
"I have one thing to asked you, though" he said turning to her again but trying to avoid her to see his state of arousal.
She continued also to stare at the ceiling, trying to even her breathing.
"What?"
"After the gala, will you come with me to cabin for a few days? Just the two of us?" he asked, his hears almost at his mouth afraid of the answer.
Sam turned very slowly to him.
"The cabin? Just us? Why, Jack?" she asked confused.
"I think we need to spend time alone, far from everything, just us. Nothing else. What do you think?" he asked again.
Sam looked at his anxious face. Apparently this was something that he really wanted.
"What about your work? You can't go missing for days…" she said tentatively
"Already taken care off. Paul Davis is taking care of it. So do you go along with it?" he asked for the third time.
"Ok, if you have free time…" she said with a shrug.
"Sweet", Jack smiled. "Have we finished the serious talk?" he asked innocently.
Sam almost rolled her eyes.
"I supposed", she said.
"So can I continue…", he started kissing her shoulder and she almost laughed.
"No, Jack. We have to get up or you'll get late to work", she said leaving the bed.
Jack roared in frustration.
"That's so not fair, Sam!" he protested.
"Life's not fair" she said going to the bathroom.
