   All throughout this story the ~...~ denotes the telepathy thoughts Sam and Jack can hear in their minds.


Boy I know
That you’ve been through so much
Don’t you think it’s time
To give it up
You deserve love
The way I do
And how I see it
It’s you for me and me for you
Just come on over here --Toni Braxton "Come On Over Here"

   


   Jack carefully closed the door and turned to face Sam. They both knew what they wanted but now they were alone they were both overcome with nervousness. Sam could tell Jack wasn't sure what to do next. She smiled gently at him.

   "I'm nervous too." She thought.

   "I can't hide anything from you, can I?" He replied, his voice low.

   "I don't want you to." He walked over to her and rested his hands gently on her shoulders.

   Searching her face, he said softly, "I have never wanted to make love to someone as much as I want you right now. I don't know if it's the telepathy, or whether that's just made me admit how I feel but I want you, Sam...I want you."

   "I feel the same, Jack."

   He leant down and kissed her very softly on the lips. Despite all the flirting, it was the first time they'd kissed and Sam was unprepared for the intensity of sensations that washed over her. She felt the kiss twice over. Her own body quivered with anticipation, her breath came in short gasps, she felt herself getting hotter, every fibre of her being screamed for him to make love to her. She could feel the beginnings of Jack's arousal, a stirring in his groin that she knew was for her. Sam knew he could feel the same. He pulled back and gazed into her eyes.

   "This is going to be amazing." He whispered. She nodded in agreement as he took her hand in his and led her to the bedroom.

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   ~Sam, you remember when you were Touched and you tossed me across that bench?~ Jack’s voice was soft in her head and her mind flooded with his arousal. She remembered it all too well; something about the virus turning her into a sex-crazed animal that deemed him worthy to be the father of her children. Fear suddenly raised in her veins as she crossed the threshold to his bedroom, hearing a distinct chuckle from Jack.

   ~I might have found it kinda arousing if I didn’t think you were going to kill me.~ The door closed behind her and he pressed her against it, his hands slipping up her sides to press his palms to the metal, pinning her. Slowly they raised as he leaned forward, his mouth just a breath’s space away from the side of her neck. She could feel his chest rise and fall against hers, matching the rhythm of the hot air scalding her neck as his lips moved closer.

   ~Jack…I didn’t mean—~ Unable to make her voice sound, she pleaded with her thoughts, not quite sure what he had in mind.

   ~Shh Carter, it’s not what you think.~ His hands slipped further up the door as he pressed a kiss against her neck, savoring the quick beat of her pulse. Sam sagged against him as a wave of excitement cascaded over her body, making her close her eyes. She shivered as Jack’s teeth gently scraped against her flesh, his mouth slowly moving towards her ear, tongue lashing at the lobe. He loved every moan and every catch of her breath as he kissed her, her arousal only making his greater. It was almost as if he could sense the coldness in her hands and feet as the heat within her core grew in need for him.

   ~I just wish you were doing it because you wanted to, not because some bug made you.~ Moving his hands, he forced her arms up and they slipped around his neck, pulling him closer. Sam wasn’t sure if he had said the words or thought them, long ago losing the ability to distinguish between the two. She didn’t care. Jack pulled away from her briefly, his eyes focusing on her parted lips.

   ~Gee sir, I wouldn’t have thought of you as someone who likes it rough.~ Her mouth spread slightly to smile as he heard her words in his head.

   ~You’re right, Major. I’m the kind of guy that likes to take it so slow and gentle, you’ll be begging me to put you out of your misery.~ Sam’s eyes flashed open in enough time to watch him descend on her, his mouth moving for hers. The kiss was electric as he barely pressed against her, suckling her lower lip before sliding his tongue over it. Taking a fistful of his hair, Sam urged him closer, to kiss her deeper, but he kept his distance, the methodical movements slowly driving her insane.

   Whimpering, Sam cursed at Jack, moving forward until her body fit against his as she lifted up on her toes. She could feel him smiling against her mouth, clearly enjoying her frustration as his hands lowered from the door to encircle her body, his right arm snaking up her spine to her shoulder.

   "Carter, hasn’t anybody ever told you its impolite to say that to your CO?" Jack teased as he heard her thoughts, ranging from demands to threats of amputation of various key body parts.

   ~What, you want me to beg?~ Sam said silently, her fingers washing over his shoulders as he finally gave in to her urges a bit, his tongue glancing across her lips.

   ~Now that’s an interesting concept.~ Jack’s hand at her shoulder moved to the base of her neck, cradling it gently as his mouth slipped from her lips. He followed the curve of her chin as he bent her backwards slightly, exposing more of her flesh.

   ~With all due respect, Colonel, bite me.~ Her nails dug into his shoulders as his mouth found the base of her throat, eliciting a deep moan that seemed to vibrate her entire body. His tongue lapped across Sam’s skin, tasting her greedily.

   ~That can be arranged.~ Jack pulled her upright and away from the door, finally giving into her pleas in full force as his lips made their way to hers again. He kissed her deeply, taking her face in his hands, fingers sliding up through her hair till his thumbs pressed against her ears.

   Jack gasped in shock as Sam’s hands glanced across his sides, gathering the fabric of his shirt. With a jerk she freed it from his pants and immediately touched his skin beneath it, smoothing her hands up along his back. She took the moment of his distraction to turn the tables, slipping her tongue into his parted mouth.

   ~Hey, wait a minute here.~ Sensing that his control of the situation was quickly slipping away with each nail that dragged across his heated skin or with each kiss, Jack pushed away from Sam, trying to catch his breath. Every touch had twice the effect to his body as it normally had from his ability to sense just how much it turned Sam on. Taking a step back he panted, watching her eyes size him up like they had those few years ago in the locker room.

   "I’m in trouble, aren’t I?" Jack chuckled, feinting his need for escape as he continued to back up. Her head bowed slightly and Sam looked at him, an eyebrow arching as she began to stalk him.

   "I want you." A lopsided grin matched the cocked eyebrow, her voice seductively reciting over and over in his mind.

   "Lemme guess, this is pay back for that begging crack, right?" His mind suddenly flooded with a mental image of him tied to the bed, completely submissive as Sam covered the extent of his body with kisses. He writhed beneath her, in need of release.

   "God, you’re sadistic." He ran out of space as he backed into a corner, his eyes watching the way her hips swayed as she stepped heel to toe. Unconsciously he licked his lips and felt an overwhelming desire to have her in his arms again. Jack raised his hands in surrender as she approached, standing close enough their clothing brushed. Sam’s eyes met his, finally finding her retribution for the elevator. It wasn’t her fault she had seen him shower but he just couldn’t live without embarrassing her just as much. The lucid images that swarmed her mind were too much to handle with Janet standing right next to her.

   ~You’re right, pay back is a bitch.~ She agreed with his thoughts as she reached for the waistband of his pants. In an agonizingly slow way, she began to unbutton the fly, giving him ample time to regret ever having done that. New images began to swarm through his head as her fingers dipped below the waistband and caressed his skin along his hips. She was relieving him of his shirt in his mind, pressing her mouth to his skin as her hands explored every muscle of his chest.

   ~You know, I’m really not like this. But you always have to push the envelope with me, don’t you?~ Her eyes never left his as she reached up and took his hands, her fingers weaving through his as she pushed them back against the wall. ~See how much you can get me riled up.~

   Jack swallowed hard, his mouth parting slightly as Sam leaned forward. Slowly her eyes absorbed every detail of his face; tracing the path of his brow, the angle of his cheekbones, and the line of his thin lips as if she had never seen them before. Having her so close, to feel her breath against his face, but not being able to touch her only antagonized him further, making the ache grow in his body.

   ~Just for once, let’s not make this a goddamned competiton. You said you wanted to make love to me—~

   "Oh yeah." Jack managed to find his voice, as throaty as it was.

   ~Then drop the sarcasm and tell me you want me.~ Sam smiled again, leaning closer until her lips almost touched his. Her mind exploded with sudden emotion, all the feelings he had for her that he had never said, of his worries and fears that some day he would lose her. Sam’s breath caught in her throat and she tried to control the deluge coming from him.

   ~Three little words and they’re not even the three little words. Tell me.~ She silently said softly, her hands squeezing his as her thumbs stroked his wrists.

   "I can do better than that." Jack’s lips moved against hers. "I need you, Sam."

   Triumphantly she smiled as she kissed him, her mouth blossoming against his. She lowered Jack’s hands from the wall and placed them around her waist, pressing his fingers against her body. Encircling her arms across his shoulders once more, Sam pulled him closer, giving in to the desire to be with him. She felt his hands slip further down her body, taking the back of her thighs as he lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her legs around his waist. His head tilted back as he shuffled towards the bed, moaning as her tongue slipped past his lips.

   Jack’s weight was seductive above her as he lowered Sam to the bed, guiding her backwards until she was completely on it. Gradually he spread his lean body over Sam’s, washing a hand over the crest of her hair as his neck arched down, allowing his mouth better access to hers. He took his time; gently nibbling on a lip before exploring with his tongue as he enjoyed the sensuous way her hands roamed his back.

   Sam started to find it difficult to know where her arousal ended and his began as his lips slipped away from hers, once again targeting her ear. Somehow he had sensed from her exactly what she wanted from him as his teeth traced the contours, sending multiple shivers throughout her body. He paused briefly to release a deep breath, raising his head to look down into her heated eyes.

   ~Like that, don’t you?~ Jack could feel it radiating through her body as if she had attacked one of his ears. Sam panted as she lifted her head to kiss him, flicking her tongue across his lips.

   ~Yes, quite a bit.~ Her legs slipped out from beneath his, trapping them in the middle as she rocked her hips against him, her hands sliding down his sides to rest at his waist. His mouth opened as his breath caught in the back of his throat, the sensation nearly overwhelming.

   ~If you keep doing that, Major, we’re not going to have to take off our clothes.~ Sam knew exactly what he meant. Jack’s blood coursed through his veins at a deafening rate, creating an urge in his body he fought to control. Without words she knew he wanted to be inside of her, to feel her nakedness pressed against his. Having the ability to read all of his thoughts only confirmed it. The feeling was mutual.

   "May I suggest then, Colonel, that we get out of these?" She said in need, pulling up the back of his shirt. Her hands on his skin burned like fire and he readily agreed. Sam’s legs released his and he raised to his hands and knees before sitting back, helping her into a seated position.

   Smiling wide, Sam took the hem of Jack’s shirt and lifted it before he had a chance to protest, trapping his arms in the folds. Leaning forward, she pressed a teasing kiss to Jack’s chest, hearing him growl in reprimand. He managed to remove the rest of the shirt, but not before she had placed her hands on him, tracing the curves of his pectorals. She kissed his throat before he pushed her away gently, his finger wagging slightly.

   ~No fair! I think I’m going to have to discipline you for that one.~ Sam giggled and mocked fright, her fingers skidding across his stomach before he reached for the waist of her pants. Jack leaned forward, kissing her softly as he busied himself with that first button. She propped herself up with her hands on the bed behind her and lifted one of her legs to cruelly brush his arousal.

   Jack sighed and she giggled at the curse suddenly very loud in her mind. He immobilized her legs by pressing his inner thighs against them, finally grabbing her shirt as he freed it from her pants.

   ~Lift your arms Major. That’s an order.~ Straightening her spine as if she was standing at attention, Sam obeyed, a lazy smile still on her face. Raising her arms above her head, she shivered as his hands slid up her sides with the gathers of the tee, slowly exposing her stomach, then chest. Jack shuffled closer as he pulled it completely off her body, allowing her arms to fall. A hand smoothed over her shoulder before he lowered his lips, pressing a soft kiss to her skin. One of his fingers slipped beneath the bra strap and gently pushed it off and down her arm.

   Sam turned her head and pressed her lips to his neck, feeling his pulse beat beneath. Lifting one of her arms again, she looped it around his and stroked gently, enjoying the feel of his bare skin and the flexing of his muscles beneath. Jack’s mouth traced the line of her shoulder back to her neck and barely grazed her ear before returning to her lips.

   ~You call that punishment?~ She teased, avoiding his kiss.

   ~And here I am, trying to be nice. To hell with you, Major.~ A mischievous grin crossed his face before he moved for her other shoulder, this time nipping her skin. Her reaction was immediate and very rewarding for him, hearing the gasp yet feeling the shudder course through her body. He smiled at her thoughts of amazement in the dexterity of his tongue as it worked over the other bra strap, pushing it off her shoulder. Slowly his hands raised from her waist to smooth over her back towards the clasp.

   The fabric falling from her body was nearly as erotic as his hands replacing the area it exposed, caressing her softly. Sam moaned in pleasure, enjoying his touch as his lips returned to her mouth, kissing her deeply once more. Carelessly she bit his lip as Jack’s thumbs began to tease her sensitive nipples, stirring her desire even more.

   One of his stray thoughts crossed her mind and she pushed him back, a look of incredulity on her face. Blushing, he looked at her innocently as if he really hadn’t thought what he had. Resisting the urge to slap him, she shook her head and smiled.

   ~No, you are not naming them, and that’s final!~

   ~Aw come on, Sam. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, or maybe Thing One and Thing Two?~

   ~I’m not trying to name parts of your anatomy, so don’t you be doing the same with mine!~ Jack laughed and moved away from her to lay on the bed. Propping himself up with an elbow, he ran an errant finger across her stomach as she removed the bra, tossing it to the floor behind him.

   ~You sure now? I can be more inventive than that, you know.~ He touched her again as she leaned over him, cupping her breast with a gentle hand.

   ~That’s it!~ Grabbing his shoulder, Sam pushed him back and moved to straddle him, her mouth descending on his. Their lips just brushed before Jack’s hand lashed out to grab the bed, panic overtaking him as he realized there wasn’t any left. Slipping over the side, their tumbling bodies snagged the drab blanket and encased them in it, Sam’s scream evaporating against Jack’s mouth.

   When the rolling had stopped, Sam looked up at Jack’s bright red face, strained from laughing. He bounced slightly above her as he finally buried his head in her shoulder, trying to catch his breath.

   ~Sure, not even an ‘are you all right?’ Sonofabitch!~ Sam couldn’t help but giggle herself as she smacked his shoulder lightly. The unfortunate part about their situation was that now his hands were pinned underneath her where he couldn’t even touch her.

   "Sorry. Are you okay?" He spoke against her neck, lifting himself up enough to look at her. She strained under his weight centered on her chest, fighting for air.

   "Yes." Sam croaked. "Now relax so I can breathe." Again Jack rested his head against her shoulder and decided to kiss her, pressing his lips against her neck. Subdued irritation from her crossed his mind as he teased her ear.

   ~What?~

   ~At least you could make a suggestion as to how to get out of this mess.~

   ~Not enjoying yourself, Carter?~

   ~No, since I’m mildly claustrophobic.~ She was telling the truth. It wasn’t necessarily the forced closeness with him but the fact she couldn’t escape if she needed to. He tried to reassure her that he wasn’t going to attack her, even if he could free his arms.

   ~Okay, theoretically--~

   ~Theoretically? Isn’t that kind of a big word for you, Colonel?~ Sam giggled.

   ~Carter, can it, would you? I’m trying to help here.~ Lifting his head slightly, Jack looked over her head at the small amount of blanket that hadn’t gotten wrapped around them, feeling her tense beneath him. He relaxed and Sam breathed again.

   ~All right, if we roll to the left, that should unwind us. Ready?~

   ~Yup.~ On a silent count of three, Sam pushed them to the left, relieved as his weight moved off of her. Jack paused briefly, smiling as she was now lying on him. Sensing a perfect opportunity, he lifted his head and started to suckle her throat, teasing the small indentation with his tongue. Her hands pressed against his shoulders, but he held her still, finding enough slack in the blanket to slip his hands up her back.

   Closing her eyes, Sam’s aggravation slowly dissipated as his kisses trailed along the lines of her collarbones. She moaned softly as his fingers skidded down her spine and back up, her breath once again coming in ragged gasps. Another turn pinned her beneath him once more and he took the opportunity of the extra slack in the blanket to slide down her body.

   Jack’s mouth explored, finding more ways to torture Sam as his lips pressed moist kisses to her flesh before moving away to blow a cooling breath over them. Something about the way she enjoyed it only encouraged him, slowly finding his way to what she had been wanting. Sam gasped as his tongue swirled around a nipple and she arched against him.

   The sensation coursing through his own body was twice as strong as when he had kissed her ear, so much so, he felt his desire grow with hers. Every movement his mouth made on her seemed as if she was doing it to him instead. It was a little overwhelming and he lifted his head, moving back to kiss her lips.

   "What’s wrong?" Sam panted heavily, moving her hands to hold his head in concern. His lips spread into a slight smile as his breaths matched hers and suddenly she understood. "You can feel what this is doing to me, can’t you?"

   Managing a nod, Jack traced his mouth with his tongue as he smoothed back the hair from her forehead. Her fingers followed the line of his cheeks and jaw before slipping behind his neck, pulling him down for a kiss.

   "I mean usually, I don’t get this worked up unless somebody’s doing something to me, but man, feeling you feeling this is nearly twice as bad. It’s going to kill me, Sam." Jack smiled, pulling on her lower lip with his.

   "Guess we’re going to have to work on that." Taking his shoulder, Sam pushed him over, releasing the last bit of the blanket that bound them together. "Time to make myself delirious."

   He chuckled as she lifted herself up, swinging a leg over his to straddle him. Sitting back on his thighs, she leaned forward, spreading herself across him as her hands smoothed over his chest. Her fingers wove through the slight matting of silvering hair as she pressed a kiss to his collarbone, slowly moving lower. Each rise and fall of his chest rocked her gently, his deep breaths hypnotic. The movement made her close her eyes as she swayed slightly in rhythm, her hands lightly smoothing over his bare flesh.

   ~I know one thing for sure. You are just wearing way too many clothes.~ Pulling back the blanket from their bodies, Sam sat up again and smiled as his eyes absorbed the view. They took in the sight of her curved shoulders, naked breasts, the muscles that lined her abdomen, truly appreciating her body. Jack’s thoughts told her she was beautiful, almost thanking her for the opportunity.

   Slowly he lifted his hands, setting them on her thighs to stroke over the warn fabric of her pants. He was finding it erotic just to look at her and to see herself reflected in his eyes was a new sensation. Jack’s thoughts betrayed the secret fantasy he always had to see what was beneath the bulky shirts and tight fitting tees that she wore. In a strange voyeuristic way, it was very sensual to be somebody’s daydream and know about it.

   ~Any suggestions, Major?~ Leaning back further, Sam rolled onto her feet and stood up, holding out a hand. With a coaxing smile, she convinced him to take the offer, pulling Jack upright from the floor.

   ~I’ll think of something.~ She stepped into his arms, resting her hands on his shoulders. Looking into his dark eyes, her smile broadened as she leaned forward to brush her lips against his, gently pushing him towards the bed.

   ~Taking control of the situation, eh Carter? I like officers who take initiative.~ Jack felt the mattress brush the back of his legs before she gave him a slight push, forcing him to sit. Slowly she kneeled before him, reaching out to take one of his boots. Pulling on the tied lace, she loosened them before removing his boot, tossing it aside. Jack’s foot flexed in her hand as she skidded a few fingers along the sole, holding him still while he tried to pull it away.

   ~I never knew you were ticklish.~ Another devious smile crossed her face.

   ~Don’t even think about it!~ Untying the ribbon at the cuff against his ankle, Sam slipped her hands under the pant leg and reached for his sock. Smoothly she pulled it off and twirled it on her index finger before throwing it at him.

   ~Very classy, Major. Can you do that with tassels?~ Jack’s eyebrows danced suggestively as she moved for his other boot, removing it and his sock in the same fashion. Sam’s fingers slipped up his calves to rest on his knees, slowly parting his legs as she slid between. Nails set on edge; she dragged them over inside of his thighs towards his arousal, enjoying his deep moan and desperate gasp for air.

   ~What was that again?~ A chill went through her own body as he shivered in pleasure, feeling her own touch that was exciting him. It created a warmth that washed through her body with lightening intensity as she etched lazy circles on his thighs.

   ~I don’t quite remember.~

   ~Thought so.~ Moving forward, Sam kissed him deeply as she held Jack’s face in her hands, enticing him to stand again. Flicking her tongue across his lips, she waited for his mouth to part before teasing him, running it along the line of his teeth. Quickly turning the tables, his hands reached for her body as Sam leaned over, stroking her stomach and fondling her breasts with gentle fingers. She moaned against his lips as he finally stood up straight, his sudden decrease in height making it easier for him to access her mouth.

   Eagerly Jack’s hands moved to slip around her back as hers moved for his waist, grabbing at the unbuttoned fly of his pants. Her enthusiasm was sparked by his, desperate thoughts of need engulfing them both. Their kisses fought for dominance as Sam managed to lower his pants off of his hips, pushing them down in frantic need. His fingers railed her spine as he pulled her closer, crushing her against his body. The weight of his arousal pressing against her abdomen was quickly drawing her towards the edge.

   ~Now who’s wearing too many clothes?~ Despite her protests, Jack managed to extract himself away from Sam, moving to encircle her from behind.

   "Oh God, Jack." She closed her eyes tight as she felt his lips brush against the back of her neck, the sensation almost sending her to her knees. His hands on her hips gripped tighter as he gasped, feeling the reaction course through her body. The warm breath from his parted mouth on her skin was enough to dimple it in gooseflesh, her entire body stopping to complete stillness. She fought for breath, her heart bucking within her chest at breakneck speeds. Finally the need to breathe overtook the erotic nature of his touch and Sam panted in desperate urgency.

   Jack’s tongue traced Sam’s hairline as his hands moved from her hips, reaching for the button fly of her pants, methodically undoing them one at a time. His arousal grew with hers as she writhed in ecstasy, flexing against him as his fingers moved closer to her excited core. They traced along the waistband of her underwear, before slipping upwards to caress her stomach. Her fingernails sank into Jack’s thighs as his lips pressed against her neck, baring his teeth to nip at the taunt skin.

   "Put your foot on the bed." He whispered in her ear as his tongue flicked across the top of it. Slowly she obeyed as she regained control over her body, lifting her right leg to press her foot against the mattress. Sam was so close to it, her knee was bent fully, a deep moan rising from her throat as his hand curved around her behind, across the back of her thigh and down to her bootlaces. She leaned forward slightly with him, running her fingers over the side of his leg as he placed a kiss on her shoulder.

   "Mean you’re not going to get on your knees and kiss my feet?" Sam’s voice was strained, her arousal making it difficult to speak. With her pant leg and boot untied, he guided her foot back to the ground and motioned for her to do the same with the other.

   "With the condition I’m in, if I bend over too much, I might break something, if you know what I mean." Jack’s mouth closed over her other ear as he traced lazy patterns on her raised thigh, feeling her tense beneath him. His hand cascaded down to her boot and worked on the laces as he brushed his face against her arm. Through the heated daze, a smile spread over Sam’s face and she giggled softly.

   "You mean like your dongle?" She bit on her lip to keep from laughing as he suddenly stopped and looked at her, his face flushing bright red.

   "What?" His mouth opened in amazement. Unable to contain it any longer, Sam started laughing, holding her hands up defensively as he stood and spun her towards him.

   "The dongle for your laptop. Remember when you bent it over the edge of your desk and broke it? I had to order you a new one." She tried to keep a straight face, but she wasn’t successful. Jack shook his head until he grinned, pulling her towards him. Sam squealed in sudden surprise until his mouth covered hers as his fingers brushed against her sides, tickling her. She squirmed and tried to get free, but the bed pinned her next to him.

   ~That wasn’t my fault and you know it.~

   ~You’re the one that got your feet tangled up in the cable.~ She braced her arms against his chest, trying to pry herself free from the tickling. Breaking away from his kiss, Sam laughed and begged him to stop.

   ~Maybe I wouldn’t have tripped on it if somebody had given me a shorter one.~ Jack didn’t realize until too late what he had thought, spurring on another fit of laughter from Sam. Quickly he picked her up a small distance from the floor and pushed her backward over the bed. Bouncing on the mattress, she tried to crawl away from him, not liking the mischievous grin on his face.

   Reaching down, Jack grabbed her boots and pulled them off in one swift motion, dropping them beside his. She wriggled as he tormented the soles of her feet with his fingers before stripping off her socks.

   "What, no camo toe polish?" He teased as he started to remove her pants by tugging on the legs, enjoying the view of the revealing. Sam snorted in reply as he dropped her pants and underwear on the ground, watching in anticipation as he relieved himself of the last piece of clothing on his body; his briefs. She rolled over on her side and smoothed a hand over the blanket.

   ~Get over here, Colonel.~

   ~Yes ma’am.~ Her smile was very inviting as he crawled onto the bed to lay beside her, pulling her into his arms. Sam pinned Jack beneath her, her hips seductively brushing against his. Taking his hands, she pushed them over his head against the bed and straddled his legs, closing her eyes in pleasure as she felt his erection brush against her.

   Leaning down, she pressed her lips to his, opening her mouth to his exploration. He strained against her, lifting himself off the bed to make contact in a desperate move to get her attention. Sam smiled against his lips, moving her mouth from his to kiss a line down his neck then back up to his ear, flicking her tongue at the lobe.

   ~This is for earlier.~ Nipping gently on the line of cartilage, she panted heavily in his ear, feeling him twitch beneath her as her hot breath teased his hypersensitive skin. He moaned and writhed, unable to resist her torture.

   "Now Sam, I need you." Jack gasped, each movement she made above him bringing him closer to the edge. Slowly she lifted her head to look down on him, her impassioned eyes matching his.

   ~Whatever happens, Jack, I…~

   He studied her face; it held no reservations just complete trust, something he hoped she saw in his. Raising his head, he kissed her tenderly, nervousness making his lips shake, the actuality of the situation abundantly clear. This was the farthest they had ever gone and Jack doubted it would ever have happened if it wasn’t for the ceremony that had connected their minds into one.

   ~I know, Sam. I know it’s right.~ Sam released his hands and flattened her body against his, allowing him to roll her beneath him. She heard him chuckle in her thoughts as he smoothed a few fingers along her side. ~And just remember; I’ll be able to tell if you’re faking it, Major.~

   ~Give me a reason not to, Colonel.~ She challenged, lifting a leg to slide her heel along the back of his calf. The feeling of her bare body beneath his was extremely sensual, each curve pressing against him in perfect match, like the center pieces of a puzzle. Arching his neck, he trailed a line of kisses across her throat, enjoying the slight moan that escaped her lips as they moved down ward.

   Lifting a hand, Jack cupped one of her breasts, fingers passing over the top as his thumb teased the nipple. Slowly and deliberately, he moved his mouth around the delicate skin, circling inwards until he found the center. Sam gasped in pleasure as his lips finally found the hardened nipple, swirling his tongue over it around gentle flicks. He knew exactly what it took to make her so heated, his hands softly railing her sides as his mouth moved across her body. Her legs tightened around his as he migrated to her other breast, setting ablaze small fires on her skin with his fingers and lips. Blindly she reached for him, wanting to have him close again, wanting to kiss him.

   ~You’re such a tease.~

   ~Don’t hear you complaining.~

   Jack slid back up her body, looking down on her flushed face that clearly showed her desire for him. She lifted her head to meet his lips with hers, kissing passionately as her hands made slow patterns on his back. He moaned against her mouth when she set her nails on edge to dance them down his spine. Slipping a hand beneath her shoulder, he supported her head as they kissed, tongues exploring as they danced around each other. Sam moved slightly beneath him, hips rocking against his suggestively as her hands found their way down to the small of his back.

   ~Please, Jack, make love to me.~

   ~Yes Sam.~

   His hand trailed up the outside of her thigh as his mouth left hers for the side of her neck, feeling her pulse against his lips again. Pressing them to her heated skin, he closed his eyes, getting drunk on her scent that seemed to intensify in their closeness. He felt and heard her deep moan as he slowly entered her, his body melting into hers.

   The intensity was amazing, each feeling what the other was, instantaneously. Sam’s mouth gaped against his, the shudder of pleasure he felt cascading throughout her body as her heat surrounded him. The completeness she savored of him filling her only made Jack enjoy their coupling even more; knowing how much Sam wanted him.

   Over the initial breathtaking sensations of finally being together, she moved against him, brushing her lips across the side of his face. Slowly he lifted his head to look into her eyes before kissing her, deep and hard, the probing of his tongue matching the rhythm of his hips. She arched in desire as her fingers sank into the muscles of his back and shoulders, encouraging him.

   Turning away from her mouth to breathe, Jack held back the moan forming in his throat, finding it difficult to hold himself back. Sam thoughts and emotions flooded him at an alarming rate as her body reacted to his, drawing her ever closer to the edge. He felt a tightness growing in her that matched his own, pleasure quickly turning to need. Her nails dragged across his back in a way that sent chills down his spine that made it even harder to concentrate, finally releasing the moan in a breath against her throat. Sweat glistened from her body as he drove himself deep like her thoughts demanded.

   Sam wrapped her legs around his as he started to lose control, lifting her head to kiss his throat and jaw line, loving the way she felt to him. The intensity increased at a maddening rate as Jack shifted, his hands slipping down her sides to find her hips, craving release. His long fingers curled over the muscles of her thighs, massaging and parting her legs further as he thrust into her. Sam gasped in pleasure as she looped her arms beneath his, holding him closer, her head arching back against the blanket as she struggled to breathe.

   Jack didn’t hold her back as she raised against him each time he moved forward, his mouth closing over her shoulder, teeth barred on her skin. Jack’s breath was hot and sharp, branding her flesh as it traveled towards her neck, both hands flexing on her hips. Sam closed her eyes tight as her body bordered on oblivion, quickly succumbing to his sweet ministrations. Lifting her head, she kissed him, her mouth closing over his ear lobe to suckle, flicking her tongue deviously. Her concentration nearly failed as it had the desired effect, Jack’s body arching to surge himself further into her. She had to slow him down or it would all be over too soon. Taking his shoulders, Sam pushed him back.

   ~Hurting you?~ Confusion crossed his face as he raised his head from her neck to look down into her eyes, forcing himself to pause. He gasped for breath as she did, regret filling him as he felt her legs relax around his. A smile parted her moist lips.

   ~No, no. Roll over on your back. My turn to be in command.~ Obediently he did as Sam wished, gently guided by her hands on his chest as their bodies parted. She straddled him on her knees, the smile growing on her face as she leaned over to brush her lips against his, stroking his pectorals with her fingers. Taking his hands, Sam interwove her fingers with his as she lifted up, brushing the inside of her thigh against his need. He growled in anguish, his hands clenching hers as he raised his hips off the bed to meet her. Gently she lowered herself onto him, her head tossing back as she moaned in the reunion.

   Jack trembled beneath her as she carefully twisted her hips, her slight movements keeping him on the edge. He tried to surge into her in desperation but she didn’t allow it, her weight pinning him to the bed. Unable to do anything else, he matched her deliberate rhythm, savoring the feel of her body tightening around him. Finally she released his hands, her fingernails lightly etching swirls over his abdomen as it flexed beneath her.

   Slowly he opened his eyes to look at Sam; her head tilted back slightly and her lips parted as her hands moved to rake her nails along the tops of his thighs behind. Chills swept through him and he arched against her, watching as she gasped in pleasure, the thrusts deepening. She breathed with each movement of his body into hers. Lifting his hands, he had to touch her, to feel her sweat glistened skin beneath his fingers. They caressed her thighs and lightly danced over her stomach, moving towards her breasts. Her blue eyes flashed open and looked down at him, struggling to focus through the impassioned fog.

   ~You are beautiful, you know that, don’t you?~ Sam smiled lazily, leaning forward slightly to meet his hands, moaning as it gave her even more pleasure.

   ~Flattery will get you everywhere.~ He raised as she lowered onto him again, gasping as she sunk her nails into the sides of his stomach, her body becoming rigid above him. Jack managed a smile as he did it again, burying himself deeper into her. Sam closed her eyes tight as his hands found her hips, guiding her movements. She batted them away and quickly pinned them beneath her knees, grinding against him as he growled in frustration.

   His thoughts pleaded with her, needing release as her pace quickened, the gap between their bodies increasing with each movement. Her hips tilted forward as she leaned downward, propping herself up with hands on the bed, finally freeing his trapped beneath her knees. Instead of taking her hips again, his fingers moved for the sensitive bud between her legs, stroking it gently. She trembled above him and moaned a small muffled cry as his touch began to react in her body, the first few waves of release torturing her.

   Jack flexed against her as she tightened around him, the pressure in his center increasing until it could no longer be contained. He tried to control it, to make sure that she was just as ready until he heard her in his thoughts.

   ~Jack, don’t resist it and don’t worry about me. More than likely yours--~ The voice stopped as he exploded inside her, crying out softly in intense pleasure. He surged into her one last time as he thrust his hips upward before he sank into oblivion. Sam could feel the blood coursing through his body and his heart pounding in his chest as the darkness surrounded him, the pressure extinguished. Quickly her body followed, delicate muscles reflexing around him in involuntary pulses that he felt as well. She pressed against him hard as the sensation ripped through the rest of her body, crying out his name in voice and her thoughts. Sated she fell to his chest, enjoying the last few ripples that throbbed throughout her.

   Panting hard, Jack encircled her with his arms, running a soothing hand across her back. Sam kissed him tenderly before burying her face in his shoulder, moving her legs to interweave with his. He released a deep breath and chuckled slightly, his arms around her squeezing briefly in a hug.

   "Bet that’s the best five minutes you ever had."

   "And that’s probably the first time you weren’t given the cold shoulder for it either." Her hand lying on his chest moved for his side and tickled him lazily as she lifted her head, looking into his dark eyes. His lips spread into a large smile before he kissed her softly, shivering slightly as the cold air from the room caressed his sweaty skin.

   "Yeah it is kinda chilly in here now. Too bad we left the blanket on the floor." Slowly Sam rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes, whimpering as she felt Jack move away from her. The bed sagged slightly then jiggled, but she was too tired to open her eyes to find out what was going on. She felt his arm slip beneath hers around her waist finally, hauling with it an edge of the wool blanket that had lined his bed.

   Looping his leg over hers, Jack pulled her closer till she nestled against the arm that circled her body beneath her head. Sam limply curled her hands on his chest, the sated bliss she was feeling making it difficult to do much more than breathe. Pressing his lips to her cheek, he snuggled beneath the blanket with a woman he knew he loved more than anything else.

   "Thanks Sam." Jack whispered softly, in return, feeling her kiss his arm.

   "What for?" She slurred between tired lips, her fingertips moving briefly to stroke his chest.

   "Putting up with my innuendoes and harassment for the past couple of days. I’ll try to be better, I promise. No more suggestive thoughts and I’ll stop looking through Daniel’s National Geographic magazines just for you. No more naked native ladies for me." He tried not to laugh as he grinned, shaking his head slightly as she snorted in retort.

   "Just remember to close your eyes and sing when you shower and we can call it even."

   "Deal." Jack rested, trying to remember the last time he had feel so relaxed. He doubted even spending an entire day in the Doc’s hot tub would make him so refreshed. Sam slipped into sleep beside him and he passed one last thought to her before joining her in unconsciousness; the three words she never demanded him to say.

   ~I love you.~
