PART 2

 = 4:15 p.m. =

Daniel prodded the fire with the poker and sat down on the rug again and looked up at Jack, who was sitting in the chair next to the fire.

"So, do you want to be a father again?" Daniel asked, continuing the conversation Jack had started in the Drying room.

The older man took a moment to answer then shook his head. "It's not really possible anymore..." he said, looking at Daniel over the rim of his cup as he took a sip of his coffee.  The scientist nodded, assuming Jack meant he'd had an operation.

"How about you?" Jack asked, staring at the fire reflected in Daniel's lenses.

"Ahhh.. no," he said slowly then tilted his head back to look up at his friend. "I seriously doubt it..."

"Why?" Jack tilted his head, "you'd make a great Dad.."

Daniel laughed, not a polite one but a real, throaty one, and his nose wrinkled as he shook his head then he licked his lips quickly.

"Oh, no, I don't think so..." he continued to chuckle softly to himself.

"Have I said something funny?" Jack frowned. Daniel stared into the fire then shook his head.

"No, it's a subject that Sha're and I argued over a lot, that's all!"  The younger man shrugged then bent his knees and hugged them to his chest as he stared at the flames. Jack inhaled deeply, imagining them- entwined together, arms and legs caressing each other as they discussed their future together.  He looked away, towards the window, watching the dull day give way to the dark night. Daniel balanced his cup on his knee as he looked over at Jack.

"You okay?' he asked and waited for Jack to look back at him.

The colonel nodded.

"Sure?" A frown flitted over Daniel's face.

Jack laughed lightly. "Why do you keep asking me that?"

Daniel wet his lips quickly. "Probably because I want the truth..."

Jack stared at him. *The truth?* Slowly he exhaled then nodded.

"Danny, I'm fine..."

The archaeologist nodded and looked back into the fire. Jack watched him a moment then looked around the rapidly darkening room.

"Stay for dinner...?" Jack asked. Daniel looked up then checked his watch.

"Well, actually I'm not really hungry..." he said.

"Supper then?" Jack smiled, hoping not to seem too desperate to get him to stay.

Daniel chewed his bottom lip lightly a moment then smiled as he nodded. "Okay. You can show me those stars..."

Jack raised his brow as he brought his cup to his lips. "Sure.."

Daniel smiled at him then looked back at the fire and Jack watched the flames dance once more on the lenses of Daniel's glasses.
 
 

= 5:35 p.m. =

Daniel yawned. He'd been staring in at the fire for what seemed an eternity now. He couldn't remember the last thing he and Jack were talking about - it was something to do with their last mission but he must have been drifting in and out of sleep. He looked over at Jack, and saw that the colonel was also asleep.  Smiling to himself he pushed up and went over to the sofa, picked up the comforter that Jack had placed on him last night, and covered his friend in it now. Jack stirred enough to change positions in the chair but he didn't wake.  Daniel sat on the arm of the leather seat, looking down at Jack's sleeping face, so tempted to touch him while he slept but didn't.  Instead he bit his bottom lip then pushed up and went over to the fire, where he re-stoked it, then curled up on the rug in front of it and let himself drift back off to sleep.  He was enjoying just being there with Jack and if nothing else came of it, at least this weekend had strengthened their *friendship* incredibly.
 
 

= 6: 50 p.m. =

Daniel groaned as woke from his nap, rolled onto his back, his dead arm flopped over his body and hit the floor in a loud, hard thud. Jack shot up in his chair and looked around, his brown eyes trying to focus in the dark room.

"Danny?" he called, rubbing his face.

"Yeah," came the deep groan from the floor, making Jack look down. He could now make out the shape of Daniel, flat on his back on the floor.

"Sorry!" Jack straightened up even more in the chair. "I fell asleep.." He frowned at the quilt tangled up in his lap.

"You don't say," Daniel grimaced as he tried to move the dead arm, then flinched as it began that slow burn to pins-and-needles. "Ohhh," he moaned. Jack was by his side quickly, kneeling next to him.

"You okay?" He frowned and touched Daniel's arm accidentally. The scientist flinched.

"Owwww, Jack, don't touch me..." he said through gritted teeth. Jack looked down at the arm then at Daniel.

"Dead arm?"

Daniel nodded. Jack laughed and deliberately patted his arm. "I'm sorry to hear that Danny.. Ooops.." he said, unconvincingly. Daniel's eyes squinted as he shot Jack a dirty look.

"For that, you get the coffee.." he muttered as he rubbed his face with his good hand. Jack laughed.

"It's all about coffee with you, isn't it Danny...?" He got up and headed to the kitchen. Daniel gradually pushed himself up, the use of his arm slowly returning as the painful sensation ebbed away.

"You know I have a Triffid theory," Daniel muttered loudly. Jack laughed as he re-entered the room with the steaming mugs, stopping to hit the light on with his elbow. Daniel flinched and covered his eyes so Jack hit the light off again.

"Thank you," Daniel sighed as he watched the room go back to being dark again, only the weak fire providing a warm, dull light. Jack held out the cup and sat on the floor next to his friend. "Thanks," Daniel took the offered cup and huddled over it, cradling it between his palms.

"What's this Triffid theory, or don't I want to know?" Jack shook his head, already knowing it was going to be a 'doozy'.

Daniel grinned and readjusted his glasses. "No, it's a good one...."

"..this time.." he and Jack said together.   Jack with a laugh of disbelief in his voice. Daniel pouted and stared at the dead fire.

"Well, you know how the Triffids were beaten by an everyday thing...?"

Jack nodded. "Sea water, wasn't it?"

Daniel frowned then shrugged. "Don't know. Never saw the show actually, but I know it was a commonplace thing," he said quickly.

Jack just nodded along with him.

"Well," Daniel's eyes flitted quickly at Jack then at the fire as a smile threatened to break across his face. He curbed it long enough to remain looking serious. "My theory is this -  we get the Goa'uld hooked on coffee and they'll be too addicted to the stuff to wreak havoc on the universe!" He shrugged, almost like he believed it was a viable option. Jack couldn't help but laugh, not only at the suggestion but at the almost convincing delivery of it. Daniel looked at him, then a beautiful grin filled his face.

"It would work!" He nodded, looking convinced. "Look how much I hate going on missions when we can't take coffee.."

Jack just shook his head. "So instead of invading our worlds for hosts, they'll be after us for our coffee instead.."

Daniel shrugged. "Yeah, and once they get addicted to this stuff, there's no help for them-" He looked serious and shook his head, "they'll never gate travel too far from the coffee machine!"

Jack stared at his friend than broke out in loud, deep laughter. Daniel chuckled too, then gave way to loud laughter, muttering, "it would work.. believe me.."

Jack shook his head and, without thinking, patted Daniel's cheek softly, "only you, Danny, would come up with *that* theory.."

Without thinking Daniel turned his face towards the palm, his lips brushing it as he did. Jack, thinking the guy was trying to look away, yanked his hand away quickly. Daniel felt that Jack knew he'd done it deliberately. He looked back at Jack, seeing the colonel's fist clenching and opening, a little like it had been stung, then he looked up at Jack.

The colonel was filled with terror briefly.

"What.... what say I show you those stars now..." He coughed softly and got up. Daniel watched his butt as he headed out of the room, then he put his cup down and tucked his thumbs under his glasses and squeezed the bridge of his nose as he sighed heavily. Jack stood watching him from the dining room. He frowned. Were they the actions of a frustrated man? He blinked quickly then went back to the steps.

"Coming Danny?" He called. Daniel looked around then got up and jogged to catch up to him.

Jack, with this image in his mind, pondered his next moves as he led Daniel around to the side of the house. He indicated with a sweep of his hand for Daniel to climb the ladder. The younger man gave the home made structure a brief, tentative look then looked at Jack.

"Come on, if it takes my weight it will have no trouble with your skinny ass.."

Daniel bit his lip then started to climb up. "I don't have a skinny ass.." he muttered.

Jack tilted his head, watching as the pants followed the curve of the butt above him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Nope, so I see..."

Daniel stopped mid step and looked down. Jack waved his hand over his head in an effort to hurry him along.

"Just get up there, Danny, I'm freezing down here..."

Daniel looked up then muttered, "is it any warmer up there..?"

"No.." Jack said slowly, then thought, *but having you draped over my shoulder', blowing in my ear as you ask questions is not going to be a bad thing either.*

The men shuffled around the tight lookout. Jack had grabbed his laptop and set it up quickly, like a man very used to doing it. He tapped in a few things on the keyboard then turned to the telescope.

"Aren't you worried someone's going to steal it?" Daniel frowned at the very expensive looking unit.

Jack shrugged. "It's bolted down.."

"Well, yeah, but, bolts can be undone..." He squinted as he looked up at the night sky.

"Danny, no one in this neighbourhood needs to steal my telescope. We can all afford one of our own..."

Daniel looked down. So the colonel was better paid than the scientist, it seemed. Jack noted the look then frowned.

"Problem?"

Daniel shrugged and leant back on the rail.

"Careful," Jack said as he closed one eye and pressed the other to the end of the telescope. Daniel straightened up, looking down at the rail, then he reached out, shook it to check for stability, then, feeling confident it was alright, sat again, folding his arms across his chilled body.

"See!" Jack sat back, beckoning Daniel over to him. The younger man squatted between Jack's sitting thighs, his face against the end of the telescope.

"Wow..." Daniel sighed softly. Jack smiled at the man, effectively between his thighs now, Daniel's arm absently brushing the inside thigh. Jack rolled his eyes then shifted his foot behind Daniel.

Daniel pulled away from the end of the telescope and looked at Jack, "That's incredible.."

"And you thought I only used it to look at the neighbours..." Jack teased playfully.

Daniel shrugged, "well, that's what Sam told me.." he joked. Jack laughed.

"I bet she didn't.."

Daniel grinned, wrinkled his nose then sat back against Jack's leg, using it to lean on. He hoped the action was innocent enough to not be notice, unless Jack was on the same wave-length as him.

"Can you find anymore?" He pointed to the telescope. Jack shuffled forward, leaving Daniel against his lower leg, and he moved the 'scope around to locate another star through the somewhat heavy cloud cover.

"Ummmm... probably not..." Jack pulled back after a brief but thorough search. Daniel was staring up at him, the light from a neighbour's house lit Jack's face only slightly.  The colonel hadn't pulled his leg away, in fact he seemed to work around it so that he could keep it there instead. Daniel was feeling confused and scared and a knot started to form in his stomach.

"That's okay," he shrugged, hugging his knees to his chest, his feet crossed at the ankles.

Jack sat back watched the dreamlike look on Daniel's face now as he looked up again at the cold night sky.

"I wonder if that's one we've been to?" The scientist said softly.

"Nope, it's not," Jack said. Daniel frowned and then nodded as Jack tapped the screen of his lap top, realising the older man   knew exactly where they'd been and which star out there was one they'd visited.

"I wanted to show you one that we had, but.." Jack sighed as he looked up. Daniel looked at the underside of Jack's throat, the long thick column going down into the soft dark jumper. He didn't realise he was smiling.

"It's okay...." Daniel shrugged. Jack looked down at him. Their eyes met in a momentary stare then Daniel scratched at his cheek nervously.

"I'm kinda enjoying the view here actually.." Jack said, feeling the burn of nervousness and uncertainty flood through his body. Daniel straightened a little, but still could feel Jack's leg on his back. He frowned.

Jack took the lack of question or remark as a statement. A statement that told him that perhaps what he did witness in the loungeroom was frustration.

Daniel heard the nervous cough then watched as Jack's hand twitched slightly off his thigh then drop back down again.  It lifted once more, only to go back onto his knee, the fingers now gripping the bent knee in a squeeze of frustrated nervousness. All so slight, but Daniel had noticed them.

Jack had watched Daniel watching his hand. There seemed no objection from the younger man. Jack's leg twitched almost unintentionally against Daniel's back and the scientist looked up.

Both men were feeling the nervousness in their throats. Were their signals clear enough? But tame enough should the other not be interested? The dance of courtship was always so damn hard! Even more for two friends, two co-workers... two *men*.

*Dammit,* Jack thought to himself.

Daniel caught his breath quietly as Jack's hand brushed his jaw line. His blue eyes blinked quickly. Still no objection. Jack hesitantly came down, lowering to reach Daniel sitting at his feet while Daniel straightened, his arms slipping from around his knees as he stretched up to meet Jack.

Jack's thumb caressed the slight stubble over Daniel's chin while the younger man wet his lips quickly. Jack cherished that look on his face, was that a look of 'take me' in his eyes?  He'd know soon enough!

Without stopping he tilted Daniel's chin and pressed his lips to the soft, moist ones, his heart just about jumping through his chest. Daniel fidgeted and Jack pulled back, still uncertain, still scared that he was about to be thumped across the face. But that thump never came. Daniel was merely shifting to kneel, getting himself higher and closer to Jack.

Still nothing was said as Daniel's eyes traced over Jack's partially illuminated face, a small nervous frown marred Daniel's beautiful face, but the scared, tentative smile made up for it. He closed his eyes as he came closer to Jack again. Jack left his eyes open, still too scared to believe what was happening. He watched until Daniel became a fuzzy blur, the soft lips then pressed against his mouth once more.

God, Danny was a great kisser. He knew already he wanted to stay kissing him forever. Soft, tender lips, moist, his tongue only teasing at Jack's lips, not penetrating yet, even though the colonel's mouth was waiting and wanting. Daniel tilted his head in the other direction now, and Jack caught his breath as the tongue slipped deeply into his mouth while Daniel's hand came up and cradled the back of his head.

Jack felt the frames of Daniel's glasses pressing against his cheek. How often had he imagined kissing Daniel, and never once had he considered the glasses. How strange. They were such a part of him that Jack should have realised....

Daniel pulled back at that moment, and as if reading Jack's mind, he lifted his glasses off his face, placing them carefully on the keyboard of the laptop. Jack gripped Daniel's face now - tightly - as if he didn't want to let go, or was to scared to.

Both men blinked quickly as they tried to swallow the lumps in their throats. Jack felt Daniel's hands caressing his thighs now and then felt the twinge of arousal surge through his body. Daniel turned his face towards one of Jack's hands and kissed the fleshy bit of the palm at the base of the thumb. His lips dragged over the skin, his teeth nipped lightly at it. Jack sighed softly then Daniel lifted his hand again and caught Jack behind the head, pulling him into another long, deep kiss. During the kiss Jack had shifted to the edge of his seat, and Daniel had pressed his body against Jack's groin, feeling the arousal within the tight jeans. Hungrily he sucked and bit at Jack's tongue, his own arousal making him light headed. Jack's hands cascaded down the back of the body pressed against him until he found the butt. Daniel's legs instantly shifted apart and closer to Jack while his arms engulfed his new lover in a tight embrace.

The tender kisses subsided, these new ones burnt with hungry, insatiable lust; Daniel inching ever closer, Jack pawing to pull the body he desired so much closer to him.

Daniel was moaning softly and the tightness in Jack's pants was becoming painful. He pushed the younger man back, both gasped for air then he lifted slightly in his seat, adjusting his pants down to allow more room. Daniel smiled.

"I can help with that..." was the first thing he'd said since it all started. Jack caught his breath. It wasn't a dream, this was real. Hearing Daniel's voice, deep and husky and obviously aroused, made this all that more real.

"Would you..?" he quipped. Daniel chuckled, tilted his head down then looked up and nodded.

"You bet.." His hand trembled as he reached up for the zipper. Jack sighed deeply, his whole body beginning to relax as Daniel released the tight pants, revealing Jack's silken boxers.

"You *are* wearing silk ones.. " Daniel grinned to himself. Jack frowned and Daniel shrugged.

"I was wondering over lunch.. what.. you had.. on.." He indicated to the groin right before his face. Jack lifted his brow.

"What! When..?'

Daniel grinned, his tongue briefly licked his lips as he wrinkled his nose in a smile.

"Basically, all the way through it.."

Jack laughed and shook his head. "I was trying to work out if there was anything between you, me and that jumper..." He touched the soft cable knitted top. Daniel raised his brow.

"We'll go inside and find out...." Daniel said, then looked up at Jack with 'come hither' eyes, and then his finger traced the top of the boxers. "Later..."

Jack wet his lips absently as Daniel eased his pants off him, the older man assisting by lifting his butt slightly off the chair. It was really too dark for Daniel to get a clear view of what Jack looked like but by rubbing his cheek against the engorged shaft, he got a pretty good idea.

"We can't be seen up here...?" he asked softly.

"Oh... only by someone.. with .. a... a.. telescope..." Jack sighed and tried to form the sentence as Daniel's tongue trailed up his shaft slowly.

"I'll give them a good show then.." the younger man whispered, his breath causing Jack's erection to twitch as it brushed over the tip gently.

Jack laid his hand on Daniel's head and whispered, "you do that, Danny..." before melting as the hot mouth engulfed him.

Jack's butt twitched uncontrollably as Daniel's hand, teeth, tongue and lips worked to bring the man closer to the knife edge of orgasm. He couldn't think of anything but the warm moist sensation, the teasing kisses up and down the shaft, the licks and the rubs by Daniel's tongue, the lights behind his eyes... the unbelievable feeling of Daniel Jackson sucking him off. His heart thudded in his chest, his legs started trembling with ecstasy, his whole body began to burn with the orgasm.

"Oh.. God.. Danny... Danny.." Jack half cried, half panted. Daniel gripped Jack's arm and tugged him so that the man stood now. Jack gasped then he placed his hands on Daniel's head, thrusting in and out of that sweet, sweet mouth for all he was worth. And Daniel took it, he took it all!! The deep penetration, the tugs at his hair as Jack's hands fisted in absolute pleasure, the force with which Jack rammed himself mercilessly down that throat that seemed to just open up and let him in, further and further.

"Oh.. God...." Jack gasped then he thrusted deeply into Daniel as the warm liquid started spurting down the back of his throat, then he pulled out slightly, some escaped the corner of Daniel's mouth before he thrusted in deeply again, milking the rest of the liquid slowly.

Jack slumped back into the chair behind him, his eyes half closed, his head still spinning. He looked at Daniel, kneeling before him, his hair all tousled and a small smear of Jack's cum on the corner of his mouth. He, too, looked dazed. Jack slipped off the chair, pulled his pants up and secured them before half squatting, half kneeling over Daniel's knelt thighs.

"Hey, baby.." He touched his face. Daniel frowned then looked up, a gorgeous smile filled his face, causing his eyes to crinkle slightly.

"Hey, lover.." he said softly, his throat a little hoarse. Jack reached out and licked the white smear from Daniel's mouth then he pulled back. Daniel lifted his fingers to where Jack had just licked him and frowned.

"Missed a bit.." Jack smiled. Daniel raised his brow and shrugged.

"I'll do better.. next time..." he promised.

Jack's mouth opened in a laugh, his tongue coming out to trace along his bottom lip. "I don't think that's possible, Danny boy..."

Daniel smiled. High praise indeed.

"Oh, believe me Jack, it's.. it's not only possible.. it's inevitable..." He nodded reassuringly, a big grin filling his face.

Jack wasn't about to argue. "Well if it's any consolation, I'm completely whacked now.. I don't know how I'm going to get down from here..."

Daniel smiled again. "There's no hurry!" He patted Jack's cheek.

Jack covered Daniel's hand in his then lifted it off his cheek and kissed the palm. "Oh, yes there is, I want to return that to you..."

Daniel smiled. "Well, get your legs back, and we can go inside..."

Jack grinned, then he pushed up onto his hands and knees and crawled up Daniel's body, forcing the younger man to lie down as he approached.

"Jack." He tried shifting away but Jack pinned him down, then he knelt next to him and started to undo the jeans. Daniel half sat up, looking around at the neighbourhood.

"It's okay Danny..." Jack laughed as he tugged the pants down off him.

"Jack, what if anyone's watching?" He frowned, looking around again. Jack grinned then shrugged.

"Well, *I'll* give them a good show.." he said.

Daniel stared up at him then sighed and flopped back onto the floor, his hand coming up to cover his eyes. He remembered saying that to Jack in the heat of his passion.

"Oh. god..." he almost whimpered as Jack started to kiss his stomach, making his way slowly to the pubic hair.

"Relax Danny-" Jack kissed the semi flaccid erection then twirled his tongue around it, causing Daniel to immediately jerk to life. Jack chuckled and Daniel lifted his hand off his face to look down at him. He shook his head as he laughed.

"Oh.. Jack.." he sighed, holding his hand out. Jack kissed his hand then his inside wrist then the fold in his arm, until he was kneeling over Daniel again. The younger man sighed softly as Jack's hand started stroking him gently, then he smiled as Jack stayed staring down at him, as if mesmerized, while Daniel ran his hand through the short hair. He searched the face above him, unable to believe that this was really happening yet.

"You're so gorgeous..." Daniel said softly. Jack titled his head and smiled.

"You're not so bad yourself!" He closed in for a kiss, while his hand continued to play and tease Daniel mercilessly. As they deepened the kiss again, Jack's hand slid down to the object of most of his fantasies: Daniel's thighs. He squeezed the soft, fuzzy thighs gently, feeling how strong they were, the muscles rippling as he moved his legs, squirming within the passionate kiss.

Breaking off the kiss, Jack panted softly, "Now... let me show you those stars, Danny.." he said, kissing his way down to his lover's very ready erection.

Daniel moaned softly as Jack engulfed him, then he dug his heels into the wooden floor, titling himself and giving himself the brace needed to thrust gently into Jack's mouth.

The older man was obviously experienced as he cupped Daniel's sac in his palm, ever so gently squeezing it then stroking the column that ran to the tight ring. Daniel bucked fiercely as Jack's finger danced around the opening, his mouth still working on the engorged shaft.

Daniel felt like his head would explode. He was rushing towards the cliff edge in his mind, hurling at it full pelt as Jack continued to suck ferociously at him, squeezing then tickling in systematic order. Suddenly Jack gripped the shaft in his hand and pumped him firmly, while he lifted his face high enough so that his tongue could tease the tip now. Daniel gasped loudly then he started to shudder as he shot his load out into Jack's mouth, the older man then sucked the end, drinking out all of Daniel's cum, until the scientist flopped onto the boards below him, totally drained. Jack wiped his palm over his chin, then licked his hand, before lying alongside Daniel on the boards.

The younger man turned his face towards Jack, his eyes fighting to stay open. Jack touched his fingertips to Daniel's cheek and they both smiled, then Daniel shivered.

"Cold?" Jack asked. Daniel nodded so Jack assisted him with pulling his pants back up.
 
 

= 8: 30 p.m. =

Jack was the first to head down the ladder after their rest, and Daniel should have known better than to let him go first, because all the way down, Jack nibbled and nudged at his new lover's butt, eventually twisting himself and managing to slip between Daniel and the ladder, nibbling the soft groin then laughing as Daniel continued to crawl down past him, almost like he was going to ignore him. Their faces lined up eventually and Daniel laughed.

"I might have fallen you know," he said, gripping the ladder tightly. Jack nodded.

"I would have caught you though," he said. Daniel smiled faded just a little as he searched the face before him.

"Yeah?"

Jack's hands were free to rub the body against him, as he was leaning back against the ladder, his heels caught on a rung, securing him to the step.

"Oh.. yeah.." He nodded in all seriousness.

Daniel nudged his face against Jack's again then pulled back. They came together for another soft, tender kiss, Jack's arms encircling him tightly. Daniel left one hand gripping him to the ladder while the other one danced lightly over Jack's face as they kissed. Pulling back breathlessly, Jack indicated to the ground with a nod of his head.

"Let's get inside.." he said, the vapors pouring from his mouth. Daniel nodded and continued to climb down, pausing to bite at Jack's aroused groin gently, causing the older man to groan then he waited for Daniel to reach the ground before jumping off from where he stood. Daniel's hands went out to catch or steady him, whatever he needed, then Jack took his hand and led him to the house.

.o0o.

Jack rounded the back of the house, his hand grasping Daniel's firmly, but not tightly.... After all, he didn't want to appear *too* eager and be seen to be *dragging* the poor guy into the house with him - but he did take a moment to look up briefly at the night sky above them, saying a little prayer of thanks in his head to the powers that be for getting him and Daniel together *finally*.

He felt the slight tug on his arm but thought nothing of it, figuring Daniel had merely skidded on the ice and snow that covered the path to the back of the house from the garage where Jack's 'look out' was situated on top. Instantly he tightened his hand hold though. Wouldn't do to have the guy slip and bruise that.. butt.. of his - at least not before Jack had an opportunity to..! The colonel smirked to himself at that thought.....

"Hey, Jack.." the soft voice from behind him broke Jack's thoughts. He stopped and turned and at that very moment, he was hit in the face by a snowball!

"What the...!! Danny!" he gave a stunned laugh then felt Daniel yank his hand away as he started to back up, watching in amused terror as Jack gathered up the snow on the rail beside him.

"Oh, Jack, no really.. can't you take a joke? Jack!" he ducked and the snow ball zoomed past his head. He laughed as he straightened up, but not for long because a split-second later the snowball that Jack had thrown met its target - the branch above Daniel - and it shook that branch, raining a whole lot of snow down onto Daniel's head. The young man jumped around on the spot, trying to knock the cold, wet ice from his body, some of it falling down the back of his jumper and onto the back of his neck. He wiped wildly as he screamed, "Jack!"

The colonel was laughing loudly. "Didn't know I played baseball, huh?"

Daniel's eyes narrowed. Now why didn't he remember all the trophies in Jack's study, for crying out loud! He removed his glasses and wiped the spots of moisture from the lenses as Jack stood, arms folded over his chest, looking pretty pleased with himself. Daniel reached down and scooped up another handful of snow and Jack raised his brow at him.

"Think you can hit me with that thing?" he teased. Daniel smirked and shrugged a little.

"You think I can't, don't you?" he said, his voice soft and low, as he stepped closer. Jack shrugged, looking sure of himself.

"I think you ... won't.." he said. Daniel licked his lip as he smiled.

//Ye Gods, Jack was so cute! Especially when he was being cocky!!!//

"Why wouldn't I?" he asked.

"Because.. well.. beca...." suddenly aware that Daniel *was* about to throw the snow at him, Jack turned and ran down into the garden. Daniel pitched the ball and managed to smack Jack in the back of the head, stopping the colonel dead in his tracks and then he turned, totally shocked that Daniel had managed to reach him at that distance.

"RIGHT!" Jack scooped up more from the ground at his feet. Daniel took off and headed to the back door and laughed while Jack started up the yard towards him then Daniel inched back, closer and closer into the closed glass sliding door behind him.

"Jack.. remember what.. well .. what we *mean* to each other.. now.." He was cowering and laughing hard as he saw Jack approaching him with a determined look in his eyes. The cowering man gave a little jump as Jack leapt up and over the rail effortlessly, snow ball still in his other hand as he started up the back porch towards him. Daniel pressed back into the glass door, caught, as Jack approached him.

Daniel sighed and screwed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the chilly attack. Instead he felt a warm mouth, nibbling up along his jaw line, towards his ear. Daniel opened one eye only and saw the blurred shape of Jack's face, making its way across his jaw. He sighed softly.

"Well, this is better than I was expecting!" he whispered, lifting his arms up around Jack's neck, one hand cradling the back of his head as his fingers delved into the short hair.

Jack chuckled throatily. "Well, you did say remember what we mean to each other now.." Jack purred. Daniel smiled as he tilted his head back, enjoying Jack's sweet caresses.

"Oh, well.. I'm glad .. it.. worked..." he sighed, feeling Jack suck gently on his throat, sending shivers through his body.

"Yeah," Jack sighed gutturally, "it certainly worked..."

Daniel melted against the door, his hands inching up to the top of Jack's head, unaware it left his stomach exposed. The colonel pulled back and smiled, and in that instance pressed a fistful of snow against Daniel's exposed flesh, then he quickly tugged at the top of Daniel's pants and dropped some left over snow down there!

"Oh.. shi.....!" Daniel jumped around, shaking his top furiously while Jack backed off and laughed loudly.

"Jack!" Daniel rubbed his wet stomach with the inside of the tops he was wearing, his blue eyes flashed quickly as he looked up at his laughing lover. "Oh, yeah, that's .. that's really funny!" he sighed, gripping the fly of his pants and shaking his leg a little to try to ease the coldness. Jack chuckled and nodded.

"You bet it is!" Then he backed him against the glass door again with the full length of his body, "just remember, all's fair in love and war, Danny Boy.."

Daniel sighed, adjusting his glasses again, then his eyes narrowed. "I'll get you back, don't worry!"

"Ooh... promises, promises.." Jack chortled and stepped back so that he could see the look in Daniel,s eye. The young man nodded, then tugged at his pant leg again and Jack saw the wet stain appearing near the crotch as the snow melted. "Come on, let's get you inside," he took his hand again, eager to find out WHY that snow melted sooooo quickly on Daniel's fine crotch.

"I'll end up with a cold now, and then you'll have this sniffling and snotty lover.. I'll look really attractive then.." Daniel muttered as Jack slid the door open behind him, still kissing the warm neck.

"Danny, I've seen you snotty *and* sniffly.." he edged him into the house gently by pressing his body against his and kissing his throat. Daniel aided him by rolling his head back and around, giving Jack plenty of skin to reach.

"See, so.. you.. you know what I'm talking about then.." The young man sighed, trying to sound half way convincing, even if he was melting on the inside.

"Oh.. God.. you're gorgeous anytime!" Jack retorted unabashedly.

Daniel raised a brow and lowered his face to look at Jack.

"You sure about that Jack?" he grinned at the unbridled expression of passion. Jack pulled back and slid the door shut behind him with a loud thud. His mouth opened and his tongue touched his bottom lip as he nodded.

"Oh, yeah. I know what I'm talking about here Danny.." he said as he pulled his own soft navy blue sweater up over his head and dropped it to the floor. Daniel looked down at it briefly then back at Jack and grinned; the lust in Jack's eyes warming him considerably as the colonel stepped him backwards towards the sofa on the far side of the room. Daniel concentrated on Jack's buttons, trying to get them undone before they reached the sofa, but the colonel was too fast, and Daniel had fallen backwards into the soft tan leather cushions before he could even made a dent on Jack's top. The leather gave way in a soft 'Oompft' noise as the body plunged into its deep, engulfing cushions. Crawling over him now, Jack tugged Daniel's tops up, revealing the still cool stomach. He grinned at the small trail of blond hair, now visible in the glow of the firelight, that he had felt as he pressed the snow onto Daniel's stomach earlier. He pushed the cream cable knitted top up even further to reveal the trim stomach, not a six pack, but still so *very* bitable. Daniel lifted his glasses off his face and dropped them onto the side table next to the arm of the chair. Jack reached up along his body to assist and ensure that they didn't fall from the table.

"They get in the way a bit, don't they?" Jack grinned as he looked down onto the sweet face arched back to see what he was doing.

"Yeah," came the soft sigh, then Daniel straightened up and looked at Jack, "I was thinking of getting lenses, actually.." he sat up, allowing Jack to pull his soft sweater up over his head.

"Oh, no please... don't," Jack sighed deeply, sounding more than a little mortified by the suggestion as he continued to bite and lick Daniel's jaw while his hands explored the bare upper chest and throat.

"Oh?" The archaeologist frowned, his blue eyes questioning Jack. The older man leant back so he could look at him.

"You have no idea how cute you are in those, do you?" His hands came up to cup Daniel's jaw.

A frown flitted over Daniel's face. "Cute? I'm.. *cute*?" He had a disbelieving scowl over his face now.

Jack grinned lustfully and bit his chin tenderly. "Oh.. *very*, Danny.."

Daniel swallowed, his head dropping back for Jack to reach his throat unencumbered once more.

"I .. wouldn't say... *cute*... I'm.. a 34 ...year.. ol ahhh.. old... man.. Jack.." He felt Jack nibbling his throat then suck it gently.

Jack nodded, his soft hair tickling Daniel's cheek. "And you're fucking cute..." He growled then pulled back, smiled at Daniel's frown again then shrugged. "Sorry, but you are!"

Daniel lifted his brow then wet his lips quickly, patting Jack and saying in a playful but condescending tone, "only in your eyes, Jack.."

"I don't think so.." Jack went back to the neck then trailed down to the soft chest in small moist kisses. Daniel expanded under his mouth as he inhaled deeply and Jack allowed his hands to run over the hardened nipples, down the curve of his well formed chest, then onto the narrow waist coming to rest against the top of his jeans. He squeezed the waist gently then moved to reach the belly button with his mouth. As he nibbled and licked, he slowly unzipped the jeans again, pulling them and the black jocks off in one movement. Daniel gasped as he laid bare to the warm room. Jack sighed as he pushed the pants all the way off the long legs then feasted his eyes on the body below him.

"Oh.. Jesus, Danny.." he said, shaking his head in appreciation of the body sprawled before him. Daniel sighed and tucked one hand under his head, as he bent one long leg up, resting his knee against the back of the sofa, making him look like a painters model, ready for capturing forever on canvas.

"You look like you're getting ready to eat me Jack.." he teased. Jack's brown eyes looked at him then he nodded.

"I fully intend to..."

Daniel raised his brow then smiled as Jack reached down to kiss him.

"You know.. we had a whole weekend.. and it's..." Jack checked his watch, "10 pm, and we're only just starting..."

Daniel kissed his lips softly. "So? We've got all night.." he said, his hand trailing down Jack's throat, over the Adam's apple, and to the soft dip at the base of his throat where he teased his finger over the soft skin gently.

"We'll be wrecks tomorrow Daniel, and we're going out there.." He lifted his hand to indicate the stars. Daniel smiled.

"Yeah, but all that's after we go out there.." he imitated Jack then brought his hands back in to undo Jack's top, "right *here* on your sofa..."

"Oh, god, Danny, I love the way you think.." Jack grinned. Daniel reached up, his lips kissing every inch of skin he exposed by unbuttoning each button. Jack inhaled deeply, his denim clad thigh went between Daniel's naked legs now, as he pushed his weight back onto his knees so that he could kneel up, letting Daniel sit up and slip his shirt off him, his mouth biting and nibbling Jack's soft stomach now. The kneeling man looked down and Daniel looked up and met his stare as he started to unfasten the zipper at his face.

"I could really get used to looking down at you in that position.." Jack sighed, reaching down and running his hand through the long hair and pushing it back off his lover's face. Daniel's hands pulled the denim pants down a little way, then he rubbed his face against Jack's engorged groin.

"I could get used to looking up at you from here.." He growled then tilted his head and nibble the shaft through the silk. Jack groaned then finally stood and kicked off his jeans. He was about to remove the shorts when Daniel sat on the edge of the sofa and stopped him. Placing his hands on the backs of Jack's thighs he tugged him closer and Jack looked down just as Daniel nudged his face up one of the loose legs of the shorts, his nose brushing the soft sac inside. The standing man shuddered. Then he felt the lick and his knees weakened.

"Danny!" he sighed lustfully. Daniel's hand slipped up the back of the thighs into the shorts, enjoying feeling the short hairs on Jack's skin. *Hmm sweet..* He promised himself he'd go back there .. later.. but right now he had a mission in mind. His hand went up to the soft curve of the butt and he felt Jack clench as his fingers found the tight ring.

"Oh, let me guess.. you're a topper..?"

Jack nodded. "It's.. my.. preferred position.." he said, his voice unsteady.

Daniel nodded then mumbled, "well that's going to change.." as he nibbled Jack's stomach, his fingers again tempting the ring. Jack tightened again and Daniel whispered lustfully, "relax.. I'm not going to hurt you..." as he looked up at Jack.

The older man swallowed hard as he stared down at him and nodded, pushing Daniel back and kneeling over him on the edge of the sofa, effectively parting his legs, and cheeks, allowing Daniel much better access. The anthropologist smiled and quickly wet his finger before he resumed kissing the stomach while he let his fingers press the tight ring. He heard Jack inhale deeply as he managed to press through. Jack groaned and tilted his face down, pressing his forehead against the top of Daniel's head, his breathing becoming unsteady and deeper.

"Oh.. God.. Danny..." he whispered as Daniel gave him a slow, tantalizing finger fuck.

"Oh Colonel... what you do to me..." came the heated response as he slipped another finger deep inside his lover.

Jack looked down and saw Daniel's eyes ablaze with passion. He slowly sunk down to sit onto Daniel's lap, effectively pushing the fingers further inside himself too, all the while the two men never broke eye contact. He could now feel the hard erection against his inside thigh and looked down at it, then up into Daniel's eyes.

"I want to be in you..." the blue eyed man whispered softly. Jack stared at him a moment then gripped his face roughly between his own two hands before he yanked him closer into a bruising kiss, causing the younger man to yelp into his mouth at the sudden and rough movement. It only took him moments however, before he was returning the passion in the kiss, slipping his hand free of Jack and gripping the back waist band of Jack's boxers. As he ripped them down, his nails scratched the skin on Jack's back, leaving six small red trails down the back and onto the butt cheeks. At the same time Jack stood, allowing Daniel to pull the boxers all the way down, then the younger man stood and they gripped each other tightly, mouths eager to be filled by the other's tongue, hands hitting the naked flesh, making small slapping sounds in the otherwise silent house.

Breathless sighs filled the room, as the two naked men stood in the centre of the room, kissing almost violently with such passion it heated the room more than any fire could have.

Jack wrapped his arm tightly around Daniel's waist, managing to almost lift the man off his feet as he lowered himself - or fell- rather heavily, to the floor, grunting loudly into Daniel's open mouth.

"Watch your knees..." Daniel mumbled back around Jack's tongue, which was returned with another grunt. Daniel felt Jack lying him back onto the floor but resisted him.

"What?" Jack pulled back. Daniel looked around then at Jack.

"Me first," he said.

Jack shook his head. "No, I'm first.."

"Errr no!" Daniel pushed his hand through his long fringe as he sat up slightly and leaned back on his outstretched arms. Jack looked at him, shaking his head slowly as he started a deep belly laugh.

"You're even argumentative during sex, Danny!" He said incredulously.

Daniel licked his lips and grinned. "Maybe, but I'm first !"

Jack shook his head and started pressing Daniel back by the shoulders, then suddenly the smaller man moved aside, making Jack lose balance and fall onto his hands. This allowed Daniel time to get behind him and place his hand on Jack's butt like some kind of hunter standing over his prey. A very deep chuckle came from the victorious man.

"I won.." he chortled, his hand running up and down Jack's smooth back and rump. The colonel had it in his mind to argue, but his skin tingled with the caress too much, and then, as if to completely distract him, Daniel lodged himself between Jack's thighs while his other hand reached around to grip the engorged shaft tightly. Jack straightened up, leaning onto the man behind him as he was slowly massaged with Daniel's right hand, while the younger man used his left hand to stroke Jack's neck then up behind his ear then down his neck again.

Jack moaned softly as he felt Daniel thrust between his thighs, then he slipped his hand down to feel the head as it pressed through to the other side. Daniel groaned at the touch but never once lost his perfect rhythm as he thrust from behind and massaged him from the front.

Jack felt his body start to melt from the inside. Not only were the feelings incredible, but the whole situation was unbelievable. He was *finally* with Daniel. They were embarking on what could possibly be the best thing to ever happen to Jack since the death of his son...

His breath was ragged and deep and hearing Daniel's gasps of air in his ear just added to the meltdown. Suddenly Daniel's mouth was engulfing Jack's ear, his tongue running around the folds on the skin.

"Danny.. " he groaned lustfully as his head rolled back slightly. He felt the cold air brush over his ear as Daniel pulled back.

"Let me in, Jack.. " he whispered very softly into his ear as he pulled back slightly. Jack looked over his shoulder and saw the red face, the eyes full of desire, the film of perspiration over the cheeks and nose. He nodded at the beautiful man and leaned forward. Daniel moved back, still on his knees, and kissed Jack's butt tenderly before covering the tight ring in a mouthful of saliva. Jack shivered at the touch of the tongue and Daniel hesitated. He pushed his fingers into his partner as he leant over him and whispered, "you like that?"

Jack nodded mutely and a smile creased Daniel's mouth. He pulled his fingers out and reached for the shirt on the edge of the lounge. He dried up the area then sat back onto his heels as he felt Jack brace himself against the seat of the sofa.

Daniel allowed his fingers to explore the area, watching the involuntary twitches his gentle touch elicited. Smiling to himself, he then reached forward and kissed Jack softly, making the colonel gasp as he arched his back at the tender touch. Daniel nudged at Jack with his nose then his chin then he bit the soft butt cheek, sucking it into his mouth, letting it go only after a deep red bruise had marked the surface. Dragging his tongue over the bruise then down to the valley again, Daniel flicked and teased Jack now while the older man thrusted against the edge of the sofa, unable to control his incredible urge to be *ramming* into something while having this incredible, tantalizing tonguing.

Daniel finally pulled back from Jack and knelt up onto his knees again, kissing the back as he made his way up to the shoulders. Jack arched and leant back against Daniel now, his hands reaching behind him to grip the firm thighs as Daniel pulled all the way up to kiss Jack's shoulder, biting and sucking it gently.

"You're driving me crazy..." Jack sighed softly.

"It's my intention.." Daniel smiled, his lips brushing the soft skin on the shoulders still. "Working along side of you all these months, feeling what I feel for you, unable to let you know.... I have to get some form of pay back..." the young man joked lightly.

Jack's hands made their way up over the tight butt then partly up the back. Daniel pressed against Jack's back a little, letting his erection press once more between the man's thighs, rubbing against the underside of his lover,s erection and sac firmly.

"How do you think I've been feeling? Wanting you, craving you all this time and not realising you felt the exact same way for me... ?" Jack sighed, as he rubbed his cheek back against Daniel's face and throat.

Daniel's hand came up to cup the side of Jack's face from behind. "I want this to be so right for us Jack.." he kissed the hot, flushed cheek softly. Jack nodded.

"Me too.." he turned to look back at Daniel. The men stared deeply into each other's eyes then Jack turned more so that their lips could meet in a tender kiss. Pulling back reluctantly, they both smiled gently now.

Daniel touched his finger along Jack's bottom lip, his blue eyes fixed onto the mouth as he whispered softly, "I want to take you where no one has managed to take you before Jack.." Then his eyes flicked up to meet Jack's heated stare as his hand trailed down the back infront of him, coming to rest on the gentle rise of Jack's rump, which he unconsciously squeezed.

"I think you're about to," Jack confessed quietly. Daniel frowned then looked down at the soft white cheeks pressed against his own patch of dark hair.

"You've never had... err.. I mean.. you've never made...love?" he asked.

Jack noted the hesitant question and nodded as he spoke over the top of Daniel. "I've definitely never been 'made love' to, though I've been fucked a few times Danny.. "

The blue eyes blinked. "Oh.."

"But never while I was sober..." he added.

Daniel inhaled a sharp breath then nodded, understanding what Jack was saying to him. He was a preferred Topper, but he was willing to do this for Daniel. After a few silent moments, he gripped Jack tightly, pulling him back into a tight hug as his mouth found its way to the small ear again.

"I love you...." he whispered.

Jack's eyes clenched shut.

"Oh God, Danny.. don't say that..." he shook his head. Daniel frowned then allowed the man to turn around to face him.

"Not unless you really mean it.." Jack continued shakily, his fingers touching Daniel's mouth tenderly.

Daniel's eyes rolled as a smile filled his face once more. "Oh, I mean it.." he nodded.

Jack smiled, a little hesitantly at first but the fire burning within Daniel's eyes convinced him of the truth. The dark brown eyes flicked from the mouth to the eyes then back to the mouth again, where Jack touched the mouth, moving the malleable bottom lip before looking back up into the eyes once more.

"Then make love to me..." he asked quietly. Daniel stared deeply into his eyes before closing in for a deep, passionate kiss. After a few moments he pulled back smiling and then nudged the older man to turn back away from him again. Jack sighed deeply, his emotions feeling very raw at the moment.

Daniel nudged his nose once more at the colonel and Jack fell forward onto the sofa cushion, groaning as he felt the warm mouth lick him thoroughly, leaving a thick coating of saliva over the tight skin. Then Daniel knelt up again, running his hands over Jack's back while the older man gripped the cushion in his fist and shut his eyes as he felt the tip press at him. Inhaling deeply he was expecting much worse, but as Daniel penetrated him there was a whole lot of discomfort, but not a lot of pain, surprisingly. Daniel's hand cupped Jack's shoulder and tugged him to kneel up again and this changed things. Jack felt the incredible pressure and was about to lean forward again when Daniel brought his hand around to slowly massage him while he held onto his shoulder with his left hand, counter acting his hand to his body, so that when he pressed into Jack, his hand pressed down the shaft and as he pulled out of Jack, his hand slipped back up the shaft to the tip.

Shifting his knees slightly, Daniel got lucky and Jack shuddered as his prostrate was brushed by the tip. That shock of electricity which coursed through his body relentlessly was heightened by Daniel's hot soft mouth gliding over his neck, throat and ear, murmuring passionately as he covered Jack in small moist kisses.

Jack couldn't believe his luck. Daniel wasn't clumsy at all during sex. In fact he was forthright, demanding and, Jack sighed to himself happily, domineering. All things he'd fantasized that the man would be but feared he wasn't really. Jack's stomach burnt as Daniel groaned softly in his ear, his hand massaging him incredibly.

"Danny..." he realised he almost whimpered. It was returned with a lick of his lover's hot tongue behind his ear. Jack shuddered.

Daniel couldn't believe his luck. Jack was not rough as he feared he might be, but willing to let him dominate him, something he'd fantasized about but feared wouldn't happen. Daniel's stomach burnt as he was suddenly awash with desire to have Jack ramming into him now.

"Ja..." he whispered before pressing his mouth against the back of Jack's neck, tasting the saltiness of his lover's skin now.

Daniel felt the shudders building within Jack and knew he was getting closer. His hand paused over the tip, his thumb swirling the pre-cum that had seeped out while he wrapped his other arm across Jack's chest tightly, bracing himself to thrust deeply into his partner.

Jack braced himself also as his body wavered on the knife edge of orgasm. He tried holding his breath, but it didn't help; he tried inhaling a long deep breath, but that didn't help.. Nothing was going to stop the incredible feeling of *Daniel Jackson* ramming himself deeply inside him while whimpering breathlessly with the exertion. Jack knew he was powerless to stop the incredible orgasm that built quickly then burst forth from him the very second Daniel's hand made the slightest movement on the shaft again...

"Danny!" he cried out then whimpered as he felt the strong hand once again pump him, more gently this time, milking him for all he was worth. Suddenly Daniel ceased all movements then with a stifled cry - the quietest of whispers calling Jack's name oh so softly - he pressed deeply into his partner, shuddered and then came.

Jack's hands cupped the forearm that was gripped tightly across his chest, a part of him hoping the nails might release out of his skin soon. He bent his head down and kissed the damp arm, his lips brushing the hairs on the skin, pleased when he finally felt Daniel's hand relax, his nails pulling out of the little ridges they'd formed on Jack's shoulder. Daniel slowly milked himself, still murmuring softly below his breath as his other hand rubbed over Jack's stomach, feeling the hair's around the navel, then followed the line up to the chest where his hand entwined with one of Jack's, and then the older man brought it up to kiss it.

It took Daniel a few good seconds to gather his thoughts again, then he carefully pulled out of Jack and turned to fall back against the sofa, his body humming lightly with the afterglow of his orgasm.

Jack sat back onto his heels and touched Daniel's very damp face. The blue eyes opened slowly then a smile filled his face. Jack stared at him then closed in slowly for a kiss. After they pulled back, Daniel reached up and traced the long dimple down Jack's cheek with his fingertips before letting his heavy arm flop onto his stomach, his head rolling slightly to the side as he once again let himself fall into the hum of the afterglow. Jack smiled at his dopey lover and moved so that he could cuddle in against him. Daniel moaned happily as he felt Jack's arms and leg go around him, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes. Jack kissed his shoulder then his neck then behind his ear before whispering, "Danny, promise me you'll make love to me.... often..."

Daniel forced his eyes open as he turned to focus on Jack's close face. He touched the dark eyebrow with his fingertips, tracing it then over the cheek then onto the lips. His eyes flicked up to look deeply into Jack's.

"You ready for that kind of commitment?" he asked softly, his eyes heavily hooded. Jack nibbled the fingertips as he nodded. Daniel smiled then pushed Jack's bottom jaw open with his thumb as he closed in for a tender kiss.

Pulling back, Daniel licked his lips as he smiled, "then I promise... often and for a very long time.."

Jack smiled then shook his head. He never was good at saying this to his other partners but somehow it was so easy to confess to Daniel, "I love you, space monkey!"

Daniel laughed tiredly then his eyes opened slightly to focus on Jack again. "Thanks..." It was aimed more at the endearing nickname Jack had given him.

The colonel snuggled against his new partner's chest, his lips brushing the skin in a feather like touch.

"Go to sleep, baby... " he purred. Daniel fought the over powering threat of sleep to force his eyes open once more.

"But what about you...?"

Jack grinned cheekily, then looked up at him. "What're you doing next weekend?"

Daniel laughed, even though his eyes didn't open, then he mumbled, "Gee.. I wonder..."

Jack kissed the chest once more before snuggling down and letting sleep take over him. Before he drifted off he heard the quiet mutter from Daniel.

"You really want to wait that long though?"

He didn't answer... but the grin on his face gave away the fact that he most certainly wasn't going to wait *that* long....
