Jack had never been so confused in his life! Daniel was here, in his arms, smiling and whispering words so soft that he could barely hear them.... It was as if they were alone in the room -no other sound could be heard but the soft, deep rumble of Daniel's purrs, murmured against the colonel's skin as he kissed his way down his body as he slowly unbuttoned the shirt Jack was wearing. Cupping the back of the withdrawing head, the standing man looked down at Daniel and noticed how the candlelight that now bathed them both gave a glistening shine to the golden flecks in the younger man's hair. His breath stalled in the back of his throat as he stared down at the face hovering in front of his groin, especially when Daniel tilted his face to look up at him with a hunger in his eyes that Jack had never seen before. Now with a wanton smirk, Daniel tugged the shirt from Jack's waist band then he languidly closed his eyes as he buried his face in the warm, soft skin of the exposed stomach. Rising to his feet, he licked his tongue from the belt, up along the dark trail until the chest, then he gripped some of Jack's chest hairs in his teeth as he tugged playfully at the graying patch. The colonel's tanned fingers scrunched up the long, silken hair, his nails dragging across Daniel's scalp as he enjoyed the nips and licks from the attentive man. Reaching full height again, Daniel leaned against Jack's body, his smooth chest rubbed the hairy one lightly, as his lips teased the other man's mouth brazenly. Jack's lips parted more, eager for a taste of the promised mouth but Daniel pulled back, a teasing smile lit his eyes as his forefinger tapped Jack's nose lightly as he took one step back from him. Jack frowned.

As if by magic Daniel's shirt slid off his shoulders, leaving him bare-chested before Jack - a seductive look but one that shattered their little cocoon - at least.. Jack's cocoon....

Teal'c's head came into view as he kissed across Daniel's shoulders lovingly - at that intrusion created a knot in Jack's stomach that made him queasy all of a sudden. The anthropologist gasped softly as his head rolled back, his throat arching invitingly towards Jack as he rubbed his cheek against the dark face behind him. With a shiver that ran the full length of his body, Jack wondered if he was going to be able to go through with this bizarre act - but as Daniel's hands began to brush his shirt off his shoulders, gliding over the colonel's arm and tugging the shirt off his wrists, all while enjoying the sensuous kisses from his large lover, Jack started to see the enjoyment. After all, Teal'c was pleasuring him, yet Daniel's mind was still on removing that shirt!

The shirt wafted to the floor around their bare feet and Daniel's hands blindly glided up Jack's arms once more, then over his chest, coming to toy with the dog tags that rested there. With a soft inhale of air as Teal'c nibbled his ear gently, Daniel forcibly gripped Jack's tags and yanked him closer, his eyes meeting the soft brown ones briefly before he locked his mouth over his and kissed Jack passionately.

It was better than Jack had ever imagined it. A gentle, yet strong, tongue probed his mouth while one hand held him in place by the tags around his neck as the other ran over his bare torso. Daniel was giving his all in this embrace as Jack felt his smooth, bare body rub against his own, his arm slipping around the colonel and pulling him closer. Jack's own hands slipped over the anthropologist unimpeded. It was as if they were the only people in the room once more.

Long fingers stretched as Daniel's hand slipped up the curve of Jack's chest, up his sternum and across the hollow at the base of his neck. The fingertips slithered up over the Adam's Apple, dancing lightly over the soft skin on Jack's throat. A groan of pleasure escaped Jack, vibrating into Daniel's mouth as the hand continued its journey up to cup Jack's ear briefly, then it moved around to the back of the gray head. Gripping the short hair in his fist, Daniel pulled Jack's head back, breaking the kiss and leaving both men gasping to fill their starved lungs.

Licking his lips while giving a wry smile, Daniel looked up into Jack's eyes. "Wow."

The colonel's smile was slightly lop-sided and definitely dopey. "I'll say," he whispered as he nudged his nose against Daniel's face gently.

They parted again, Daniel's gaze was intense as he touched trembling fingers to Jack's lips. Gasping loudly, he suddenly closed his eyes, then groaned into a deep chuckle as he dropped his head back. Jack frowned a brief moment until he saw the cause of that reaction - Teal'c appeared from behind him again, maneuvering himself so that he could reach Daniel's mouth - his dark, thick tongue visibly plundering the pink mouth from that angle. Jack frowned slightly then stepped back, leaving Daniel to the caress of his 'real' lover. The contrast of white against brown skin was amazing. Teal'c's large hand slipped up the front of his pale lover, snaking up to his throat. Jack watched as Daniel's throat strained with the kiss - the muscles growing taut and the veins popping out against the smooth skin. Jack's own throat went dry as he witnessed the two of them and the power of their passion as they remained twisted together, reminding him of the Ying-Yang emblem - white arms up and around a black head, dark arms draped across a pale chest. So in sync, so entwined....

Jack's stomach knotted as he stepped back further at the same time that Daniel twisted to face Teal'c, his wide back rippling as his arms encircled his lover's broad shoulders. He hitched himself up against the taller, wider body - lengthening his spine and narrowing his waist so that his pants hung from his hips now and sat nestled over the delectable rise of his ass. Jack had never noticed the muscles in Daniel's back before, but, even in that candle light, he could see them bunching under the smooth surface. The straight spine arched as a dark hand traced down it then over the clothed-covered butt, fingers tightening into the soft cheek causing the whole body to quiver.

Feeling the quiver himself, Jack stepped back one step further and into the arms of his own lover. Turning towards the touch, he looked down into shimmering dark eyes.

"Good, was it?" Philip smiled up at him. No concern etched his gorgeous face, no recriminations for Jack having enjoyed the kiss showed against the smile.

Slightly stunned by what he'd just witnessed and by the full acceptance from his lover, Jack was speechless. It was in his mind to say, 'you should know what it's like to kiss Daniel' but Philip reached up and kissed him, silencing him and stealing all thoughts, other than desire, from him. There was a familiarity about this kiss that made Jack tingle right down to his toes. This was 'his' Philip. His arms tightened around him, holding him close as he plundered the depths of his sweet lover's mouth. He enjoyed the caress of gentle hands across his back, nails lightly scratching his freckled skin, and part of him wondered if they'd look much the same - Ying-Yang, dark - light, tall - short, entwined and so in sync...

While still enjoying the kiss Jack's hands instinctually unfastened the belt around the slender waist, then the button fly of Philip's jeans. The younger man rubbed his groin against Jack's hands, moaning as he felt the long fingers dive inside his briefs and fondle the awakening shaft gently. Tugging his hands out of the briefs, Jack slipped them around to the back, between the underwear and the jeans, and gripped up a handful of soft butt, squeezing him tightly.

They pulled apart when they heard the soft cry of "Oh God!' from Daniel. Turning around they watched as Teal'c squatted to remove the anthropologist's pants, slipping them down his legs and placing light kisses over the tanned limbs as he followed the falling pants. Daniel bent over the crouched body, kissing across the broad expanse of brown back, right down to the small of Teal'c's back. As the large Jaffa stood, he lifted Daniel easily off the ground with his shoulder. He carried him over to the bed, and, kneeling on it, tossed Daniel down with careful abandon. The bed springs groaned and a soft 'whump' could be heard as air was forced from the fluffed up bedding. The pillows and overlay bounced then settled around the man lying flat on his back in the middle of the bed.

Jack's eyes were wide after witnessing that, but Philip was merely grinning wildly. "Why don't you ever take me like that, Jack?" He teased his open-mouthed lover.

The colonel did a double take then looked at him. "I tied you up the other night," he said in his own defense. Jack watched as Teal'c knelt over Daniel, the muscular back a distinct "Y" shape. His arms worked at something then the Jaffa slipped his pants off, kicking them to the end of the bed.

"Wow, he's huge, isn't he?" Philip sighed. Jack looked over his shoulder then, playfully he covered Philip's face with his hand and pushed on him lightly.

"Stop looking!" He groused.

Phil laughed, pleased to see him getting into it more now. "Hey, nothing wrong with looking Jack. I'm in love... I'm not blind!" He said. Jack, again did a double-take at that casual, but earnest, declaration of love from his partner.

"Well, you can look!" he mumbled gruffly. "Just stop being so damned impressed!"

Philip chuckled. "You know full well that I'm so besotted by you that..." He grinned and then bit Jack's chin lightly, "I don't need anyone else!"

The colonel grew serious a moment. "So what's that say about me?" He asked. The dark eyes crinkled with his smile.

"This isn't a reflection on you, Jack. I'm glad you have this opportunity.."

"You are?"

"Sure beats worrying about if you're going to have an affair behind my back."

Jack closed his eyes as he cupped the smaller face. He kissed the tip of Philip's nose lightly.

"No chance of that, babe!"

"Even if you didn't get this chance?" Phil asked.

Jack stared at him a long moment then nodded. "I'm besotted by you too! Maybe I don't need.." He turned to the others on the bed, who were so caught up with each other that they were oblivious to two talking men, "..any of this?"

Philip wet his lips quickly. "Jack," he said, "will you stop feeling guilty? Don't you understand that this is as hot for me as it is for you?"

"Watching me and Danny making love.. that's.. ugh.. that's gonna make you hot?" Jack asked skeptically.

Biting his bottom lip as he nodded, Philip smiled. "Yes! Oh, definitely..* yes*!"

With a shrug, Jack sighed. "Okay," then he smiled. "Only for you though!"

Laughing lightly, Philip nodded. "If it's for me then, will you do one more thing?"

"What?"

"Take him in your mouth and taste him?" He asked sincerely. Jack frowned but before he could say anything, Philip had silence him with fingers to the lips.

"Please, do it for me. I want to taste it in your mouth when I kiss you..."

"You want to taste *him*?"

"I want the satisfaction of knowing *you've* tasted come once more."

Jack looked at him and saw something within the dark eyes that made him suspicious. "You know what he tastes like, don't you?"

Philip jutted his chin slightly. "He didn't have the same hang up about me giving him a head-job that you have.."

"And now you want to taste him... again?" Jack heard the edge to his voice, but did nothing to remove it.

Wetting his lips quickly, Phil said in a soft voice. "I want to taste 'it' again, yes..."

Jack stared into the dark eyes a moment. "Ah huh.." he said succinctly. Phil gave a shrug as he ran his hands over Jack's bare body, causing a flood of tingles through the older man's body that alighted his nerves and stimulated his groin. "Daniel could always..."

Jack's eye widened. "Now, hang on! You and he don't 'touch'.. isn't THAT the rules?"

Phil trailed a finger tip through the spongy thatch of chest hairs as he shrugged coyly. Jack felt his insides tremble. What if Daniel and Philip rekindled anything.. maybe 'that' was the purpose of this - for Philip to rekindle his feelings for the anthropologist.. His fears began to work over time as he turned and looked at the two men on the bed once more, but focused on the 'one' face only. Daniel's cheeks were flushed and his skin gleamed in the soft lights as he arched his back and enjoyed the mouth sucking over his flat stomach as he tucked his knees around Teal'c's broad shoulders. In his mind Jack replaced Teal'c with Philip and realized that he was the 'only' person in this room not to know what Daniel tasted like. As much as he'd fantasized about it in the past....

"Do you really want this for 'me'?" Jack asked, finally looking at him again. Philip smiled and nodded.

"To watch you have sex - without *fear* - it's going to really be something to see.." He said breathlessly while brushing his fingers over Jack's cheeks. The colonel's brow arched. That response surprised him a little - it seemed so genuine! "Besides, I know you want him, too, hun. I can see it...!"

Jack looked into the dark eyes. "Yes, I do.." He confessed quietly, watching his lover for any reaction to that honest confession.

Shaking his head at himself, Philip said quietly, "I should have done this a long time ago, when Daniel was available. I guess a part of me was scared you'd rather a one- on- one with him.."

Jack's resolve crumpled. He believed that this was all for him - that Philip really did want this so that Jack could enjoy being with Daniel after longing for him for so long. What better show of love could a partner give him? He shook his head as he caressed the soft cheek, annoyed at himself for ever doubting Philip's loyalty and reasons. "Philip, I love you. I can't explain why this is appealing to me when I know that you're all I really want..."

The brown eyes looked a little sad. "Hey, you yourself told me you experimented a lot in the 70's. I'm surprised something like this didn't come up before."

Jack inhaled deeply and gave a lop-sided smile. "No, this is definitely a first!"

Philip laughed gently. "This is pure, hot sex, Jack. It's going to blow your mind.. if you let it!"

"I'll try it - once. We'll talk about it in private later!"

Philip nodded. "Sure. But don't say you're only going to try it once. You might find you like it!"

"We'll see!" Jack said, then looked at him side-on. "You *don't* touch him, do you?" He needed to reassure himself again.

A gentle smile of understanding filled the Librarian's face. "No. I only touch *you*. I only *want* to touch you."

"Yet you don't care that I'm going to be..?"

"I've told you Jack. If you've got all this pent up desire for Daniel," he pressed his hand to Jack's stomach, "in there - *we* don't stand a chance. Sooner or later, you'll stray from me..." Philip looked at the bed, then back at Jack. "This way, I have some say in it, at least!"

Jack didn't need to ask if the man John was discovered with was ever in a threesome with them. Obviously he wasn't. It seemed Philip was doing all he could to avoid that same thing happening to him. How could Jack promise him that he wouldn't stray if they didn't play tonight? Looking at the bed, seeing Daniel's rosy cheeks, his lips pink, moist and slightly swollen from kisses, his throat arched so erotically.... Jack wondered if he 'wouldn't' have strayed to see that look. It turned him on so much that he wasn't sure that - somewhere along the line, if Daniel decreed it, he wouldn't have taken him up on it. At least this way, four honorable men, sticking to honored rules... this way they had the way of avoiding it, didn't they? Still, Jack thought as he looked down at Philip who was watching the others with wide, dark eyes - it was a risky game. Philip spoke without looking at him. "This way, you get him out of your system.." He looked up now, determination in his dark eyes. //Or make me want him more...// Jack thought to himself.

A dark hand cupped Jack's cheek. "Please, hun. Don't make me beg..."

The colonel gave a wicked grin at that comment. "Oh, but you do that so well!" He said, then added, "And you're so horny when you do!"

"I'm so horny now!" He said, sweeping his hand towards the bed. Jack obliged by moving closer to it. He looked down at the two in the bed, seeing Daniel's back arched off the bedding as Teal'c kissed his stomach all over, sucking on it and leaving red marks on the white skin.

"Well, this is weird," Jack said, more a mumble to himself than to the others, who didn't respond anyway. Daniel was moaning softly and probably didn't hear him in his fully aroused state, Jack reasoned to himself. Philip turned him to face him and captured the unsuspecting man in a searing kiss, sensing Jack's trepidation at beginning this. So lost in the kiss now, Jack barely noticed it when Philip lowered them to the bed until he felt his lover lie on top of him. Jack rolled him into the middle of the bed, onto his side, and opened his eyes as he continued the kiss. He looked straight into the hazy blue eyes as Daniel stared back at him from over Philip's shoulder, and around Teal'c's head - where the two of them were enjoying a passionate kiss. Jack felt his groin twitch as the heavy lids fluttered closed, the lips parted further and the back arch off the bed as Teal'c broke the kiss and slowly moved towards the top of the boxers Daniel was wearing.

Closing his eyes once more, Jack returned his concentration to his lover. Philip rolled on top of him again then onto the other side of him, placing Jack in the middle of the bed this time. Breathlessly they pulled apart then Jack smiled before he felt a hand slip around, cup his cheek and tug his face around - then Daniel latched onto his mouth in another passionate kiss as Philip chuckled softly in the background. Jack's head began to whirl, distinctly knowing the difference in the two men as he plundered Daniel's mouth. Adding to the surreal moment was the fact that Philip ran his hands down Jack's bare torso, and began to undo his belt.

Uncomfortable in his twisted state, Jack rolled onto his side, facing Daniel and enveloping the anthropologist in his arms. Daniel moaned loudly into Jack's mouth as he crawled on top of him, his groin pressing onto Jack, letting him know that he was well and truly ready to move on.

Jack felt Philip reach around him and slip his pants down his legs, leaving Jack in his boxers as well. Daniel's hand now trailed down the curve of the colonel's back, slipping under the elastic waist and gripping the cool butt cheek firmly. The man whimpered slightly, his own hands gliding over the cotton boxers Daniel was wearing, feeling the thick hard erection trapped inside. Daniel murmured something into Jack's mouth as his hand touched the shaft. Slowly, Jack began to remove the shorts, realizing that they'd been left in place 'for' him to remove. He mentally thanked Teal'c for that show of courtesy, then he broke the kiss to look down at Daniel's legs as he slipped the shorts down. Daniel kicked them off the rest of the way then smiled as he lay, sprawled and naked, beside the colonel.

Jack's eyes scanned the body slowly, his hands following the curve of the body and then cupped the side of Daniel's face. They smiled at each other as Jack initiated the next kiss. This time Daniel divested Jack of his shorts, stopping to admire the size of the shaft that lay heavy against the bed of dark curls.

Jack felt Philip slip in and under the back of him, the warm thigh pressed against his outer thigh. Daniel smiled at the man over Jack's shoulder. "I'll leave this for you..." he told Philip as he caressed the fat muscle. Jack's whole body twitched as he laid there, sandwiched between his lover, with a full erection pressing into his ass- and his best friend, fondling him with exquisite fingers. He wondered how long people lasted in situations like this. He already felt close to exploding.

"I'm not allowed.." Philip said, kissing and sucking along the back of Jack's upper arm, reaching his elbow then heading back up to the shoulder.

Again, Daniel's fingers twirled the shaft, like a baton as they toyed with him. "Why?"

"Jack thinks.. that.. it's unfair..."

Daniel looked up into Jack's eyes, his own filled with horror. "no, Jack, you *have* to..."

The colonel shook his head. "It's not fair that I can have it and he can't, so no." He said, reaching his hand down and rubbing the dark, hairy thigh draped over his waist now.

"See!" Philip said to Daniel.

"No, Jack, listen to me on this, okay!" He said, his blue eyes earnest. "Let him...!" He hissed. Jack's dick jumped once more in Daniel's hand and he looked over his shoulder at the almost innocent looking eyes fluttering back at him. Daniel whispered, "I've never had better!" The colonel looked at the anthropologist then back at Philip, who had a certain 'proud' look in his eyes.

"Danny!" He mumbled shyly before he sucked Jack's elbow gently. Jack looked at Daniel and was further encouraged by the flick of blue eyes and nod of his head. Slowly the colonel nodded too. Considering the recommendation, one that Teal'c had obviously *not* heard, Jack rolled onto his back.

"OH!" Daniel said, gliding his hand down the wiry hair on the older man's chest then over the stomach, following the trail to the hard on. "Not before *I* play a little, though!" Philip smiled and swept his hand above Jack's body in a 'be my guest' kind of gesture...
