SPECIAL FAVORS
"What do you mean that's not allowed?"
"Read my lips," his lover told him. "No whining."
Jack groaned, he'd rather kiss her lips, but decided
that doing so in the middle of a crowded airplane wasn't the ideal
location. "Okay, but remind me
again why I agreed to do this?
Sam finished stuffing her backpack under the seat in
front of her before she sat up and turned slightly, facing him. She smiled and her eyes twinkled with
laughter. "Because
you've always wanted to go to
He gave her a pained look; he should have kissed
her. "Can't say
I've ever wanted to do that."
"Because..." she leaned close and whispered
into his ear, her voice low and seductive, "I offered you special sexual
favors?"
He groaned when she nipped delicately at his ear lobe,
before sitting back in her seat.
"Works for me, but I don't even think that's reason enough for
this." He gestured across the aisle
to where Teal'c and Jonas sat. Teal'c
apparently meditating, at least his eyes were closed. And Jonas was eagerly looking out the
airplane's small window and commenting to the silent
She laughed softly and said, "Because Teal'c and
Jonas can't be let loose on their own?"
He sighed in resignation. "Yeah," he glanced
back at Jonas, who continued to carry on a monologue with Teal'c. "Who would've guessed that Jonas could
persuade
"Yeah," Sam smothered a giggle. "As long as they had
the appropriate chaperons."
Jack grumbled and fastened his seatbelt,
"Appropriate, my ass."
Sam leaned over and kissed him quickly on the
cheek. "Cheer up, Scrooge. We're going to the merriest place on
Earth!"
He growled and she chuckled and deciding he wasn't going
to be able to persuade her to his side, he put his headphones one and flagged
the flight attendant. At least they were flying first class,
he thought grumpily as the annoyingly cheerful young woman brought him a
pre-takeoff vodka and tonic. Stretching
his legs out, Jack took a big gulp of his drink and closed his eyes, listening
idly to the pre-flight chatter between the cockpit and the control tower. Maybe
it wouldn't be so bad, he thought. At
least both he and Sam had been given the assignment. The General had more or less blackmailed him
into it, requesting he accompany Teal'c and Jonas as a 'special favor'. His thoughts drifting to his lover, Jack
decided he much preferred the favors she was going to offer him. And, after five days at
"Excuse me, sir." Jack opened his eyes as their flight
attendant handed Sam a glass of orange juice.
"Can I get you anything else?" she asked, still cheerful. Jack held up his now empty glass and she
nodded. He watched as she turned towards
their traveling companions. Teal'c
remained silent, but Jonas engaged her in a spirited conversation and Jack
watched in awe as just the slightest smile and word from Jonas had the young
woman blushing and smiling coyly at him.
Shit, since when had women stopped flirting with him?
"Jealous?"
Sam's voice was a wicked whisper in his ear.
He tried to glare at her, but she just continued to smile
saucily at him. He finally grinned back,
"Of Jonas? No," he finally
said.
She raised a skeptical looking eyebrow.
"Okay, maybe just a little." He grabbed her left hand, threading their
fingers together. "But, I have you
now."
"And don't you forget it, mister," she
murmured.
Like he would ever want to forget! He viewed every day they were together as a
minor miracle.
************************
"I know to make a right turn," Jack growled at
the voice of the onboard navigation computer. "I can see the sign for the
damn hotel."
"O'Neill, the car cannot hear you."
Sam giggled and Jack was sure if he looked in the rear
view mirror, he'd see a huge grin on Jonas' face. Jack pulled the rental SUV into the front
drive of the Disneyland Hotel and shut off the ignition and the annoying--yet
helpful onboard computer. He opened the
door and was met by yet another cheerful person. This was
"Are you checking in, sir?"
Jack started to growl something at the young man when
Teal'c suddenly loomed at his side.
"We are. Please arrange for
our luggage to be taken inside and take care of our vehicle."
The man's smile faltered only briefly, but then resumed
and he nodded, "Yes, sir!"
Sam took his arm and Jack let her draw him into the
hotel. "Let Jonas and Teal'c handle
the luggage, I'll get us checked in."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We have what?" Jack asked somewhat
incredulously, fifteen minutes later as Sam handed him a card key to their
room.
"We have an adjoining room with the guys."
"You told me this would be like going on vacation
together."
"Together with Teal'c and Jonas," she reminded
him.
"But, adjoining rooms?"
"Don't sulk, Jack." she retorted, her tone
amused.
"Yes, ma'am," he muttered. Jack tried to look like he wasn't actually
with the three people in front of him while he trailed along behind their small
retinue through the elaborately decorated lobby; following the bellboy and
their luggage to the elevator.
**************************
Okay, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. She had neglected to tell him that they had a
suite, with a separate adjoining room for Teal'c and Jonas. Not bad at all he decided as he surveyed the
small living area, complete with mini-fridge and wet bar. There was even a bright red poinsettia and
basket of fruit.... Which would probably
come in handy for Jonas, Jack decided somewhat wryly. Sam came out of the bedroom at the same time
that a knock sounded on the adjoining door.
Jonas stuck his head into the room.
"Dinner?" He had the biggest grin on his face. Jack simply shook his head.
"How about room
service?" Sam suggested.
Jonas got a confused look on his face and before he
could ask the inevitable question Jack replied.
"Room service. Where you call your order in on the phone and
it's brought to you."
"Sounds
great." Jonas called back over his
shoulder into the other room. "We're having room service, Teal'c."
"I am familiar with that amenity, JonasQuinn."
Teal'c's muted voice sounded into the room.
"I will locate the menu."
Jonas disappeared back into his and Teal'c's room and
Jack felt Sam come up behind him. She
wrapped her arms around him, and pressing a kiss to his neck whispered,
"Thanks."
"For what?" he asked, turning in her embrace
and letting his hands rest lightly on her waist.
She smiled up at him.
"For agreeing to this trip."
His lips curved into a wicked smile. "How could I say no to special
favors? Besides, it would have been like
kicking a puppy to have said no."
"You mean Jonas?"
"Hell, no! I mean Teal'c!" She gave him a questioning look. "You don't actually think this was
Jonas' idea, do you?"
"Well, Jack, he did suggest it."
Jack shook his head.
"Nope, Teal'c put him up to it, I'm positive. Ever since Teal'c saw Disney's Holiday on Ice he's wanted to come here."
"And he told you this?"
"Well, not exactly.
But come on, Sam. He owns every
Disney movie that's ever been released!
"You mean you don't believe Jonas' story that he
wanted to study and learn more about Earth's culture?"
Jack snorted.
"He can read a book for that."
She hugged him.
"Well, I for one don't care how either one
of them persuaded
"Ha! That's
what you think now," he said, giving her a quick kiss before releasing
her. "Wait until we have to trail
Teal'c all around the park while he gets his autographs."
"Autographs?" She actually paled.
Jack allowed himself a smug smile. "Didn't know about that, did ya'?"
"It won't be that bad...." she protested.
"Humph...until he pushes some little kid out of the
way to get that elusive Donald Duck autograph."
"Hey!"
Jonas' voice broke back into the room.
"Are you two ready to order?"
*************************
"So," Jonas said through a mouthful of
hamburger, "my research would indicate that we need to start here on
Teal'c nodded solemnly.
"I concur, Jonas Quinn."
Jack snorted and Sam shot him an annoyed look. He simply shrugged and turned his attention
back to the TV where he'd found a hockey game.
Too bad it was the Ducks....
"Then we proceed carefully up
Teal'c again nodded solemnly and Sam asked, "Where
do we go next?"
Jack shot her a disbelieving look, he was doomed. Those two had sucked Sam into their
scheme!
"We proceed past It's a Small World and then enter
Momentarily leaving his map, Jonas dug into his backpack
and pulled out a sheaf of papers.
"At Teal'c's request," he inclined his head towards the
Jack reluctantly took the papers from Jonas. He couldn't seem to help himself and glanced
curiously at the list. Okay,
"Jonas, I don't recognize the names of some of
these characters."
Thank god Sam said something, 'cause no way on earth was
Jack going to ask who Jasmine was!
"I anticipated that." He dug into his backpack again and pulled out
a book. "This is the most detailed
and inclusive book of Disney characters I could find." He smiled, handing it to Sam. "You can borrow it."
"Yeah, Carter," Jack drawled, smirking at
her. "Study the book and you can
give us a briefing in the morning before our 'mission'."
She shot him a quick glare before she took the book from
Jonas. Thumbing through it she paused,
looking at Jonas in something close to wonder. "Wow, this is a great
book."
Jonas grinned like a deranged maniac and Teal'c's smile
could only be described as sly when they both beamed at her enthusiastic
response. Jack inwardly sighed. Teal'c and Jonas, 2; Jack
O'Neill, 0. He was doomed.
********************
Jack left the bathroom and was pleased to see Sam was
already in bed...with that damned book.
And, he could still hear voices in the other room. "What are those guys still doing in
there?"
She gave him a distracted look, then
went back to the book. "I don't
know, Jack. I thought they were going to
bed."
Jack walked over to the closed door of the bedroom and
opened it, sticking his head into the other room. Jonas looked up, a tad bit guiltily O'Neill
thought, while Teal'c merely flickered his eyes. "You two--your
room--now!"
"As you wish,
O'Neill."
"Sure thing,
Colonel." Jonas hastily
grabbed his papers and his backpack and he and Teal'c retreated through the
adjoining door. Jack quickly crossed the
room and locked the door to the other room.
Feeling satisfied for the first time that night, he shut out the lights
in the room went back to the bedroom.
Crawling into bed next to Sam, he snuggled close to her and kissed her
shoulder.
"Jack, did you know that Snow White..." Jack
pulled the book out of her hands and tossed it on the floor, next to the
bed. She opened her mouth to protest and
he stopped her with a slow, deep kiss.
"I don't know and I don't really care," he
murmured eventually against her lips.
She sighed and looped her arms around his neck. "I guess we'll have plenty of time
tomorrow for that," she whispered back, then closed her teeth delicately
on his lower lip.
Jack growled, "Plenty of time."
**********************
"One
hundred." Jonas lowered
his chest down onto the floor and quickly rolled over, starting his
sit-ups. "You know, Teal'c, I don't
think Colonel O'Neill is too happy to be here."
Teal'c was quiet for a long moment before replying. "We have won Major Carter over to our
side." Barely breathing hard, Jonas
looked at the
"If you say so," Jonas replied, continuing
with his sit-ups. Personally, he wasn't quite as confident as Teal'c, but knew
enough to know that Sam was the key to many things as
far as the Colonel was concerned. Besides, he'd already decided he wasn't going
to let anything or anyone ruin this trip for him. He was fascinated with the whole concept of
Having finally reached one hundred, Jonas jumped to his
feet. He took a large swallow out of the
nearby water bottle and grabbed an apple from the fruit basket he and Teal'c
had confiscated from Sam and the Colonel's room. Yes,
he decided happily, it was going to be a
special adventure.
*************************
Jack signed the credit card receipt and thanked the
smiling clerk. "Here," he
said, as they moved away from the garland and Christmas ornament-strewn ticket
kiosk and handed each of his companions their three day passes. How
handy, he thought grumpily, that they
could save money on three day passes; just
giving them even more opportunities to spend money in
the theme park. Jack stopped
briefly, putting his credit card away and pocketing his wallet. When he looked up, he realized he'd lost his
team already. For crying out loud! They weren't even in the park yet! Scanning the crowd, he finally spotted Sam's
blonde head, already in the line queuing to get into the park. Jonas was bobbing up and down next to her and
Teal'c brought up the rear. Jack hurried
towards them, dodging three strollers and twice as many rugrats before he
caught up with his team. Shouldering
past the people behind them, he finally reached them and put his arm through
Sam's.
"Stay close now, kids. I don't want to lose you again."
Sam smiled and Jonas literally bubbled over. "It's just so..."
"I know, Jonas," O'Neill interrupted,
"it's just so damned exciting."
"Jack!"
Sam chided him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hey!
They're letting people in!" Jonas burst out. Sure enough, Jack could see that they'd
opened the turnstiles and were letting the excited crowd into the park.
They shuffled forward as the line moved and Jonas pulled
out his PDA. Jack watched in amazement
as Jonas consulted something on the small handheld. "Okay, everyone remember their
assignment?"
They had assignments?
Jack decided he really should have paid more attention at breakfast. But, hey, he was the Colonel.... "Right, I stick with Carter."
Sam snorted and elbowed him in the ribs. Jonas glanced briefly at him before
surrendering his ticket to the smiling man at the turnstile. "Of course,
Colonel." Jack swore that
Jonas was laughing at him, but the younger man had already made his way through
the turnstile and was gawking at Chip and Dale, who were greeting guests by the
Mickey Mouse flower garden.
"Teal'c? You
have your autograph book?" Jonas
called over his shoulder, his eyes never leaving the two life-sized chipmunks.
Jack watched with varying phases of disbelief while
Teal'c, wearing his brand spanking new Tigger boonie hat and carrying his
turquoise blue autograph book, bore down on the hapless chipmunks. Beside him, Sam suddenly tensed and, letting
go of his arm, hurried to catch up with Teal'c and Jonas.
"I think I see Goofy!"
Jack put his sunglasses on and followed his team at a
discreet distance. It was going to be a
long day....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"But...it's not supposed to rain in
"Jack..." Sam gave him a warning look, all the
while tugging the bright blue rain poncho over his head.
"Right," he poked his head through the hole in
the poncho and frowned. "I forgot,
no whining."
Sam kissed him on the nose and then finished tugging his
poncho into place. "Here," she
said finally, handing him the Mickey Mouse baseball cap she'd bought him.
He put the cap on, tugging the bill down low. "You do know I'm only humoring the three
of you?"
Sam put her matching Minnie Mouse baseball cap on and
pulled the poncho's hood up over it.
"I know, dear. And we love
you for it."
Jonas walked over to them, sporting a Pluto baseball cap
and clad in an identical blue rain poncho.
In fact, Jack noticed wryly, most everyone in the park wore the raingear
the stores was selling by the dozen.
"It's probably a good thing we stayed for The Christmas Fantasy Parade and the holiday fireworks
yesterday." Jonas looked up from
his park guide. "It says here that
in case of inclement weather, they cancel the parades and have Mickey's Rainy Day Cavalcade, whatever
that is."
"I guess we'll find out today, eh?" Jack commented, wondering how long his
teammates would want to stay out in the rain.
When it rained on a mission, they couldn't wait to get back to the
SGC. When it rained at
Teal'c suddenly loomed next to them and it was all Jack
could do to not burst into laughter at the sight of the large
"Ariel," Jonas piped in.
Jack nodded at Jonas.
"Right, I doubt Ariel will be out in the rain."
"Although," Jonas added, "the rain is
forecast to end by early afternoon."
Jack raised his eyebrow in question. "And you know this how?"
"The hotel's cable system gets the Weather
Channel."
"Ah."
Teal'c looked blissfully unperturbed by all their talk
of rain and water-shy mermaids.
"I'm confident that we'll get her autograph,"
Sam commented cheerfully.
Jonas grinned. "Me too!"
"As am I," Teal'c added.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack stood at the
perimeter of the crowd and watched as Teal'c obtained Ariel's autograph. The young woman portraying
the mermaid never even so much as batted an eye when he handed her his
autograph book. She'd merrily
smiled and signed her name. Some of the
parents looked a bit annoyed, but Teal'c was nothing but all smiles and charm
to the children crowding around the throne where Ariel sat. And besides, who was going to tell the six
foot, four inch, two hundred and forty-pound man he couldn't get an autograph? Jack knew he sure as hell wasn't!
And damned if Jonas hadn't been right, the rain had
stopped earlier. The sky still looked
threatening and there was a distinct chill in the air, but the characters
had—at least temporarily—resumed their normal duties. And Jack really hoped that Ariel's mermaid
costume was warmer than it looked....
"O'Neill?"
"Yeah, big
guy?"
"I believe it is time to ride on
Jack opened his mouth to complain that he'd just dried
off when Sam nudged him in the ribs.
Darn her, but she was determined to hold him to the no-whining
promise. "Sure, whatever you
want...Splash Mountain it
is!" Between Teal'c's love of
He laced his arm through Carter's and pulled her along
after Teal'c. "Maybe we can go in The Haunted Mansion again," he
suggested casually. Sam snickered.
Jonas grinned. "Great idea, Colonel." And he winked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jonas trailed along behind his three companions, automatically
dodging the crowds of people as they made their way across the park from Sleeping Beauty's Castle to
Adventureland. He ran the list of
autographs they still needed through his head...they'd just gotten Ariel's,
which left only Sleeping Beauty's. Out
of all the princesses, she was the most elusive. He thought he might have seen her once...but
she was being led away by her handler, her autograph session finished. And the Colonel—who
was supposed to have been on Princess spotting duty that afternoon, hadn't
contacted them when she had first appeared, like he had been instructed. Their cell phones had that 'Direct Connect'
thing, and gosh darn it, he had personally programmed
each phone with all the other team's numbers.
A large group of about twenty teen-agers suddenly
appeared in Jonas' path and he found himself swept along in their wake for
several yards. When he finally emerged
from their midst, he was outside of Pirates
of the Caribbean and his team mates were nowhere in sight. And to top it off, it had started raining
again. Jonas trudged up the slight
incline that led towards the twinkling lights of
Plodding past the French Market Restaurant, Jonas looked
longingly at The Haunted Mansion; all
decked out in Halloween and Christmas decorations, but kept on walking.
"Long day?"
Startled, Jonas turned and stared at the young woman who
had spoken, surprised that a stranger had initiated a conversation with him.
"Yeah," he smiled at her. "We've been here since the park
opened."
She smiled back, her blue eyes friendly. "We're always busy this time of
year."
Confused by her answer, Jonas looked a bit closer and
realized she was wearing the costume that the women who worked in The Haunted Mansion wore. "You work here!" he exclaimed.
She grinned at him.
"Over in the Haunted Mansion."
"That's my favorite ride!" Jonas looked at her
nametag, "Jessica."
She laughed.
"It's been real popular, people really
seem to like Jack Skellington!"
"So, what are you doing here?"
"I'm meeting my boyfriend,
he gets off duty," she looked at her watch, "in ten minutes."
"He works at
She nodded.
"It must be great to work here!" Jonas
enthused.
"It has its moments," Jessica agreed.
Jonas pulled his crumpled park map out of his pocket and
squinted at it, finding it difficult to read in the growing twilight.
"Is there some place specific you're looking
for? Maybe I can help," Jessica
offered.
"Oh...ah," Jonas felt himself blushing. "I was actually just checking to see
what hours the Princesses sign autographs."
She smiled gently at him. "You're collecting autographs?"
"Well...a friend of mine is," he explained,
feeling mildly self-conscious. "We
have all of them except Sleeping Beauty."
Jonas shook his head. "She's
very elusive...."
Jessica laughed again.
"I think I might be able to help you."
"Really?"
"Yes, really," she grinned at him.
At that moment, a young man came rushing over. Jessica stood and the newcomer kissed her
cheek. "Sorry I'm late," he
panted.
"It's okay, Kevin. I've been visiting with..."
"Jonas," he supplied, standing as well.
"Nice to meet
you." Kevin held out his hand and Jonas
followed suit, shaking hands with the pleasant young man.
Jessica hooked her arm through Kevin's and turned
towards Jonas. "Come with us,
Jonas," she said, grabbing his arm as well. "Let's go find Sleeping Beauty."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dammit,
Carter!" Jack glared at the grinning face
of his lover. "How could we lose
him?"
Sam looked at Teal'c, who merely shrugged. "It's not like he's really lost,
Jack," Sam soothed him, taking his arm and starting back down towards
"And why the hell doesn't he have his cell
phone?"
Sam looked a bit guilty.
"Ah...the battery in mine went dead, so he loaned me his."
"Great, just great," Jack growled.
Sam stopped suddenly and he looked down at her. She smiled again and kissed his cheek. "Let's go back to the hotel and order
pizza for dinner?" she wheedled.
"Sound good?"
That sounded good.
He was wet and chilled and not just a little hungry. "What about Jonas?" He couldn't—in good conscience, after
all—leave a member of his team behind.
"Jonas Quinn is a capable explorer, O'Neill. He will find his way back to the hotel."
The trio tramped past The Enchanted Tiki Room and out into the
Sam pulled her park guide out of her pocket. "Must be a
parade."
"It's raining," Jack added, pointing out the
obvious.
Sam stopped next to him, consulting the park guide. "It says here they have a 'rainy day
parade'."
"I believe Jonas Quinn mentioned that as well,
O'Neill."
"So," Jack said, as he continued walking
across the street and paused at the edge of the crowd that was clustered along
the far side of the plaza, "we're just in time for the rainy day
parade?"
"Looks like it," Sam commented, standing on
her tiptoes and peering over the crowd.
All of a sudden the klieg lights flared into life and the music and
announcement of Mickey's Rainy Day
Cavalcade blared over the loudspeakers.
"So, this is...lame," Jack commented moments
later, watching as Santa Mickey and Mrs. Claus Minnie rolled slowly by in a
gaily decorated red touring car. A
garland festooned double-decker bus followed and Jack let his gaze idly wander
over the characters, who were energetically singing
and dancing to the music. His eyes
traveled to the second level of the bus and his jaw dropped when he
saw...Jonas? What the hell was Jonas
doing in the parade?
"Carter!" he shouted above the music and the
cheers of the crowd.
"That's...that's...Jonas!' he sputtered.
She laughed and Jack turned in amazement when he heard
Teal'c start to roar with laughter. Sam
had pulled her camera out and was busily snapping pictures as the bus slowly
rolled past them. Jack thought he heard
Jonas calling their names as the younger man, flanked by Chip and Dale, grinned
like a banshee and merrily waved to them.
Well, he'd be damned, Jack
thought, starting to grin. Putting an
arm around Sam, he hugged her close.
"Leave it to Jonas..."
She laughed, nestling into his side. "And here we were worried about
him!"
"We should follow the parade, O'Neill." Teal'c
rumbled. "So that
we may retrieve Jonas Quinn."
"Right, Teal'c." Jack slowly moved with the rain-drenched
crowd following the parade, keeping his arm around Sam, with Teal'c bringing up
the rear.
They slowly ambled behind the parade; and now that
they'd found Jonas, Jack didn't find the rain—or the crowd—quite as
annoying. All told, it took about five
minutes to reach
Feeling remarkably indulgent, Jack clapped Jonas on the
back when he finally reached them.
"Way to go, Jonas!"
Jonas nodded, brushing some wayward strands of tinsel
out of his hair and, continuing to grin like an idiot, talked excitedly to Sam
and Teal'c. Jack only half listened to
the conversation, somehow content to just watch his team—and his lover—enjoying
the moment.
"And I got to meet Sleeping Beauty and got her
autograph!" Grinning, Jonas handed
the autograph book to Teal'c.
That statement caught Jack's attention. Jonas had met Sleeping Beauty?
"How'd you manage that, Jonas?" Jack grabbed the book out of Teal'c's hand
and sure enough, there her signature was.
"When we got separated..."
"You mean 'lost'," Jack muttered. Sam jabbed him in the ribs and Jonas
continued, ignoring him.
"...I met Jessica—she works at the Haunted Mansion. Well, we started talking..."
Jack sighed, now wishing he'd never asked, or at least
waited until they were somewhere dry.
"...and when she found out I needed Sleeping
Beauty's autograph, she and Kevin..."
Kevin? There was
now a Kevin in the story?
"...took me backstage and, well, here, I'll show
you!" Jonas grinned triumphantly
and produced his digital camera, pulling up a picture of him and Sleeping
Beauty.
"You have done well, Jonas Quinn." Teal'c almost had a grin on his face.
"Brilliant!" Sam enthused.
"Does this mean we can go home now?" Jack
grumbled.
"If you mean the hotel, then yes," Sam told
him, taking his arm and followed behind Teal'c, who's
sheer bulk cleared them a path through the crowd.
"Well..." he continued to grumble, not quite
ready to quit complaining, "as long as it includes that pizza and a hot
bath."
"I think that can be arranged," Sam chuckled.
They had reached the exit turnstile, Teal'c and Jonas
already waiting for them on the other side.
Crowding behind Sam through the turnstile, Jack slapped her butt and
laughed when she snorted at him.
Catching her arm, her pulled her further away
from the turnstile, into the shadows and leaned close, whispering in ear,
"And I think you're going to have to start paying-up on those sexual
favors tonight."
Sam chuckled and took him by complete surprise when she
reached up and pulled his head down to hers, her mouth fastening on his in a
blistering kiss. Jack groaned into her
mouth and had just placed a hand around her waist, when she released him. She licked her lips and he felt the rush of
desire go straight to his groin. Her eyes twinkled in the dim light of the
street lamps and he was only dimly aware of the other people around them.
Jonas cleared his throat. "Ah...guys?"
"I believe the appropriate phrase is 'get a room',
Jonas Quinn."
Sam smiled saucily and sauntered off, following Teal'c
and Jonas as they made there way to the tram stop.
"Well, they have a room..." Jonas' voice
trailed off and Jack could only hear the low murmur of Teal'c's voice as he
replied. Jack watched Sam walk away,
still slightly bemused and happily imagining the soft sway of her hips beneath
the ungainly blue poncho. Pulling his
cap down low over his eyes, Jack followed the trio at a slower rate. He wondered idly if tonight would be a good
time to tell Sam about a certain fantasy he had involving tinsel, red lace lingerie,
sheer black stockings, red stiletto heels and now—funnily enough—Mickey Mouse
ears.
Sam's sparkling laugh drifted back to him, accompanied
by Jonas' low tenor laugh and a soft bass chuckle from Teal'c. No, Jack decided cheerfully, picking up his
pace. He'd save that particular favor
until they were home.
THE END
