The door clicked shut behind Merritt and Henley. Jack blinked sleepily and burrowed deeper into Daniel's side. Daniel stretched and yawned before bringing a hand over to run through Jack's hair. Jack picked his head up off of Daniel's chest and moved so that the two of them were at eye level.
Jack looked at Daniel.
Daniel looked at Jack.
Jack looked at Daniel.
Daniel looked at the space where Jack had been before suddenly discovering a weight on his chest, as Jack had rolled on top of him and was now straddling his waist. Daniel pushed himself up on one elbow and used his other hand to grasp Jack's neck before pulling him in for a kiss. Jack returned the kiss with equal enthusiasm. After a minute, he pulled back, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he attempted to catch his breath. Daniel grinned up at him.
"Not a bad kiss, kid," he teased.
"You won't be calling me 'kid' for much longer," Jack replied. He slid a hand under Daniel's back, lowering his head back onto the pillow. Jack leaned down to tease Daniel's lip before resuming their kiss.
One hand still on Jack's neck, Daniel's other hand found the small of Jack's back and dug in, eliciting a low moan from Jack. He fumbled with the bottom of Jack's shirt, breaking momentarily from the kiss to pull it up and over the younger man's head. Daniel grinned as he admired Jack's muscular physique. He slid a finger down Jack's chest, stopping just above his belt. He looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"You know, I sure could use a shower," Jack suggested.
"So could I," Daniel agreed. "And we wouldn't want to go wasting water…"
The two leapt off the bed and raced toward the bathroom, leaving a trail of clothing behind them as they went.
Some time later, Merritt and Henley stood down the hall from their motel room, bags of food and clothes in hand.
"You go check," Merritt hissed.
"Absolutely not," Henley replied. "You go."
Merritt groaned before stuffing his bags into Henley's hands. He walked over and put an ear up to the door. From the other side, he could hear the sounds of muffled moaning and running water. Merritt jumped back from the door and nearly ran back to Henley.
"Nope!" he exclaimed. "Let's go, let's go, let's go."
Henley laughed and handed him back his bags as they walked briskly back to the elevator.
Merritt's expression was still disturbed. "Next time, you're checking."
a/n: Hey Horsemen! Short chapter, I know. I hope it was still good!
See you tomorrow,
