It was always the jealous bitch. Really, how many planets had they gone to? And every single damn one had had someone exactly like the woman staring at her, face hungry and predatory sharp.
Sam grinned, pulling Jack's unresisting body towards her and obviously savoring his closeness. Her eyes glinted, wicked, mischievous and possessive.
The alien woman took an angry breath and visibly controlled herself, flouncing off in the opposite direction. But the Major didn't miss the backwards glance and unspoken threat that were shot her way.
"You owe me another one, Jack." She murmured once it was safe again. Then, taking stock of his numerous injuries, Sam was glad that she had chosen the pose that had a hand artistically positioned to allow her to keep his head aligned with his spine. Nothing appeared to be broken, but they wouldn't know for sure until they got back to the SGC.
Daniel and Teal'c answered her hasty radio call, coming to help her carry their leader's unconscious body back to the Stargate.
And traveling in the light of the binary moons, they walked in silence… for a while.
"You seemed to enjoy that a little too much, Sam."
"Shut up."
