Chapter 6

Just to see you smile!

She had not said a word, not one single word since they had left the planet. He knew that even though she did not want to admit it, it hurt her to see what Jonas had become. She had admitted to Daniel when they had first stepped onto the planet that Jonas had become scarier the longer she had stayed with him. But she had also admitted that he seemed fine when they had met at the SGC for the first time since after she had broken off the engagement. Jack knew that she was scared to see what he had become.

Sitting in the debriefing with her beside him, Jack looked over at her. God, she was so beautiful! Why would any man think they had to dominate her 24-seven in order to have her? She looked over and smiled at him. Not her usual bright smile that reached her eyes but a smile at least. Oh to get her to smile again where it would light up those blue diamonds in her eyes. He would give anything he could to have her smile a true "Carter" smile.

His mind drifted as General Hammond began to ask Lt. Conner questions. He thought about what Sam must have gone through while she was in the cave with Hansen and it literally made his skin crawl and his temper rise. He looked over at her again and saw that she too had escaped the briefing room. "Nope, not going down like this, this time." O'Neill thought to himself. He took the piece of paper that he usually used to doodle on, wrote a short note and slide it to her. He waited until she had read it and looked over at him. He knew he was putting his career in jeopardy but then again, he could be having his greatest dream come true.

He watched her while she read the note, then she looked over at him. With a look that said "I want to feel safe again", she slightly nodded her head, folded the note and slipped it in her BDU's. Jack let out the breath he did not even realize he was holding and waited with for what seemed like forever for the debriefing to end.

When the General stood up, before he had a chance to dismiss them, Jack stood also. General Hammond looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"Sir, I was wondering if there was any way we could get some downtime? This mission was a little much for us – especially Carter."

"Jack, that was my idea. You all have accumulated quite a bit of time off and I think this is a good time for you to take it. I do not want to see any of you preparing to go on a mission for the next week. You are dismissed."

Major Carter stood up as General Hammond left the room, and Jack looked over at Sam. He waited for Daniel and Teal'c to leave, then he asked her was she sure she wanted to go where he would be going for the next week. The look in her eyes told him all he needed to know, so he said nothing else as they headed towards the elevator. He waited for her to get her jacket out of her car, then held the door open while she climbed up in his truck.

Jack drove, listening to the music as it played and watched Carter. She was a woman who could take care of herself – he would never doubt that but for some reason, this mission had really beat her down. He wanted so badly to pull her close to him and wrap his arms around her and tell her everything would be ok. He would do just that as soon as he got to his house.

He parked the truck in the garage and went to unlock the side door while she got out of the truck. He watched her when she came inside but did not say anything. This was not the first time she had been to his house but it was the first without Daniel and Teal'c. He took her coat and laid it over the armchair that was in the living room and then led her over to the couch. He looked at her, into her eyes and questioned her one more time before his hand reached up towards her face. She looked back at him and there was no doubt in those blue sapphires. He knew she wanted the same thing he did. To forget the old memories and to start a new set of memories.

He moved his hand from her cheek to behind her neck and pulled her close to him. He looked her in the eyes as his lips brushed softly against hers. Then, as he begins to apply pressure, he felt the heat moving from his lips to his groin and he saw her eyes close and watch the intake of her breath as she gave in to the pressure and begin to apply her own. His tongue fought against her mouth until she opened it and allowed him entrance. Their tongues battled and begin their own love dance together.

Jack's hands slid down from her neck and rubbed her arms as his lips travelled from hers to her throat and down across the top of her chest. He waited for her to object when he brought one hand around and begin to unbutton her top. He realized that she was not going to when he saw her head lay back on the couch and felt her move her body closer to his.

He reached down and put one arm under her knees and the other behind her shoulders and as he stood, he lifted her from the couch, the whole time allowing his lips to take advantage of the angle of her neck and to feast on her beautiful sun-kissed skin. He took her to his bedroom and laid her on his bed. He begins at her feet and took her shoes, massaging her feet with his calloused hands. Slowly he moved up her legs, massaging and gently rubbing them as he moved his hands to where her skirt met her blouse and Sam did not even realize he had pulled it down along with her panties. Constantly keeping his hands massaging her body and his lips still enjoying her lips, neck and the sweet spot behind her ear, he begins to unbutton her blouse. Taking his time even though he wants to just yank it off and see her beautiful naked body lying on his bed, for his pleasure he does not rush.

Jack looked at her, completely bare for him, her body wiggling with desire and moans coming from her throat, taking all of his control to keep from just taking her – ravaging her. But he would not do that, tonight would mark how much he loved her, how much he needed her and he would take all night and all day for the next five days to do it. He laid on his side against her – his hands rubbing her stomach – watching her as her need seemed to rise higher and the temperature of her body heated up. He bent down and placed his lips on her swollen nipple, pulling it into his mouth and heard the gasp of pleasure mixed with need rush from her lips. He could not blame her, he too felt the need to have her.

He took his hand and traced her sides, making his way to the hidden fruit she held between her legs and he watched her as she tried to manoeuvre herself so his hand would get there quicker. He laughed when it dawned on her that he would not be hurried. Then he saw her move her hand and start down towards her stomach. Just him saying her name stopped what she was about to do and he heard her groan and again he laughed but this time he fulfilled her desire as his hand slipped between her folds to capture the bud that had emerged because of her need. He felt her shiver and pulled her closer towards him as his fingers and thumbs brought her closer and closer to her first real climax with him.

When she finished, he positioned himself so that he was between her knees and he watched her eyes until they opened. Once she had opened them, he pushed forward and the impact of the realization of the contact took them both by surprise and he could actually feel himself start to come from just the pure love of being with her, joined together with the one he loved. And he knew she felt the same – he could feel it in every breath she took and in every beat of her heart.

Jack waited until he felt Sam move under him and then he started. It did not take long for them to come together with a rhythm that soon had them reaching past the stars of heaven. He felt her getting tighter as she came closer and closer to what he thought would be her second climax of the night but he was wrong. He stopped moving and watched as her whole body begin to convulse around him, and was amazed as the orgasm took control of her and literally rung her out. He watched as she bit down on her lower lip and then released and her tongue came out to sooth the lip.

That was it. That is all it took and Jack felt himself going over the edge. He leaned down and took her lips with his as his own orgasm ran its course. He felt himself coming back to earth and eased off of her so that his full weight would not be on top of her. She was still trying to come down and he pulled her up against him, placed a kiss upon her head and felt her body as it begins to relax, leading her straight into sleep.

Jack did not even realize that he had drifted off to sleep along with her until he awoke and saw the sun shining through his bedroom window. Had it been another fantasy? Had he dreamed it all up? But then he felt the pressure on his arm and turned his head to see his beautiful Samantha laying snuggled up against him with her head on his shoulder. He knew to look at her that things would never be the same for him. He had known that the day he had first met her, but there was no denying it now. She was his, and if he had to give up his career to keep her – then so be it.

He moved his arm gently from under her, afraid to wake her, afraid she would come to her senses and decide to go home. But as he moved off the bed he saw her snuggle back down, clutching his pillow against herself. He walked towards the kitchen to go make coffee and as he passed the living room, he noticed a slip of paper on the floor by the armchair.

Jack reached down to pick it up and realized it was his writing. She had kept the note he had written to her in the briefing yesterday. The note that had changed their lives forever. He read it again, just as he had read it after he had written it before he gave it to her, but this time instead of being afraid of the outcome, he was happier than he had been in a long time.

"No more fantasies, Samantha. It is time for reality. I want to see you smile every day while I make love to you."
