Chapter 101

"Please, AJ, I need you!" Mac whispered after taking the letter opener out of her mouth.

"Sarah, are you sure?" he was asking if she wanted him to become her lover, but she thought he was concerned because of her surgery.

"Yes, I'm sure, AJ. I need you filling me, loving me, making me whole!"

"Oh god, I need that too, Sarah," he said as he slid into her for the first time. Sheathed inside of the woman he loved more than life itself…his wife…his life…AJ had dreamed of this moment for eight years, and the actual experience was more that he had ever imagined. And it was almost too much for him; he almost came right there and then. It was only through sheer willpower that he restrained himself.

Forcing himself to concentrate solely on her pleasure and not his own, he was able to pull himself back from the brink and begin to stroke in and out of her. Her sigh of bliss came close to sending him over the edge again. He felt like a randy teenager around her!

"Oh, AJ! More! Harder! Faster! I'm so close!" she gasped.

That did it! He could no longer hold back, driving into her hard and fast just like she requested. He still checked the look on her face to make sure she was not in pain from her surgery.

Mac was not only not in pain, but she was pretty sure she had died and gone to heaven.

Wanting to make sure that they came at the same time, AJ moved his hand between their bodies and placed his thumb on her clit. Stroking it in counterpoint to his thrusts, he sent her over the edge just seconds before he followed her.

"Oh, AJ, I can't believe I had forgotten something so magnificent as this. I can remember dreaming of loving you, but the dreams fall short compared to the real thing, my love," she said breathlessly. "I love you so very much, AJ-never forget that."

"I love you too, my darling," he smiled at her and helped her to sit up. Hugging her close, he helped her off the desk. When she shivered he laughed a bit and told her to get dressed before he had to explain to her doctor next week why she had a cold.

Mac finished dressing first, and as AJ was still getting back into his uniform, she began putting his desk back to rights. As she moved his desk calendar back into place, it hit her. That was what had been nagging at her about her last memory flash. The time didn't jive! AJ had told her they were married on April eighteenth. But he had also said the memory that she had just had of her in uniform, still under his command, had happened before they were married. What had been nagging at the back of her mind and had just hit her was that in her flash of memory, she had seen his desk calendar. The date he had threatened to order her to see the psychiatrist had been September third!

She looked over at AJ, who had just slid into his jacket and was now buttoning it. Then she looked down at baby Angela, still asleep in her carrier. Something was very wrong here…something was a lie…Was it her flash of memory? But all the others she had had seemed to have been right on the money. If it wasn't that, then that had to mean that something AJ had told her was a lie. It had to have been the date they were married. They had to have been involved before she was out of his chain of command, because for Angel to have been born in April, she would have been conceived in July.

'My god! That was it! That was the reason for all the odd looks all of her friends had been giving her, why Harm would no longer talk to her and avoided her calls!' She and AJ had been fooling around… breaking regulations…before she was out of his command. And everyone had known it! That was why AJ had acted so funny when she had gone on about their wedding cake top! So they had eaten it early, not late, like she had thought. 'But why make up a date?' she mentally slapped herself! 'Because you begged and pleaded with him to know!' she shouted at herself.
