Part 3
Once I'd gotten cleaned up and dressed, I slowly entered Daniel’s room. He had been given a private room, which I also noted had a spare bed in it.
"Ah…Sam?" I called out quietly before entering his room.
"Um…I don’t want to sound rude or anything, but do you think - " I started saying before she interrupted me, holding out her hand to silence my quiet words.
"It’s okay. I was just leaving anyway. If there is any change in his condition call me. I’ll be in my base quarters," she said as she walked out the door.
"Sure," I whispered, my eyes never leaving my peaceful lover.
I barely noticed her leaving as I approach his bed, leaning down I place a quick kiss onto his brow being mindful of all the tubes and wires he is attached to. I sit down and take his hand in mine, stroking it.
"What happened out there Danny?" I brush my hand down the side of his beautiful face.
Just as I am about to kiss the ring on his other hand I register the door opening.
"How are you, Colonel?" Janet asks me gently, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"I’ve been better," I replied bitterly, glancing up at her.
"He look’s so peaceful. It’s like he’s just asleep and could wake up at any time," I whisper, looking back down on my lover’s prone figure.
I let a laugh out. Not one of happiness but a bittersweet one.
"God. I know this sound’s stupid but all I can think of when I see him like this is our trip to Australia together. I just keep thinking of how peaceful and relaxed he was then, and look at him now, well… it’s pretty stupid," I say self-consciously, as I start to remember the happy memory.

//"God Jack, this is beautiful. I love it! And, what’s more, we don’t have to hide the fact that we’re a couple. I mean no one here knows us. We can be ourselves," Daniel happily exclaimed as we left the airport.
"Yeah, it’s great. So I take it you like the present?" I smiled, taking his hand in mine.
"Yeah, I love it. Thanks Jack,’ he said, kissing my hand that was holding his.
"Come on Danny, let's get to the motel before it gets too late. And then maybe we can go out for dinner if were not too tired," I said, pulling him along to the taxi stand outside the airport.
"Sounds good to me," he smiled up at me as we got into the taxi and drove to our motel.
Once we'd checked in, we went up to our room, which was on the fifth floor of one of the best motels in Brisbane. Our room was one of the honeymoon suites. It had a large king size bed taking up most of the room bedroom, with a Jacuzzi in the en suite and large glass doors onto the balcony, which looked out over the ocean.
"Jack, this is beautiful. It must have cost you a fortune," Daniel looked around the room.
"Not really, and anyway it doesn’t matter how much it cost, it’s for your birthday. So I don’t really care as long as you enjoy yourself," I stated as I moved up behind him and puledl him into my arms.
"I love it but you really didn’t have to go to this much trouble," he replied, clasping his arms over mine, which are firmly placed around his chest.
"You trying to say you don’t want it?" I asked in mock in mock amazement. "And anyway, I did this as much for me as for you. I wanted to go somewhere where we didn’t have to hide behind closed doors all the time. It was starting to drive me crazy."
"No! No, I love it, I really do," he said as I nuzzled my face into his warm neck. "I’m just saying that I would have been just as happy at home. But enough of this talking now. What time is it?" he asked, stepping away from me, walked over to the bed and sat down.
"Um, it’s 6.30pm, Australian time," I replied, having located the clock sitting on the dressing table. I quickly reset my watch to Australian time and went and joined Daniel on the large bed.
"Why don’t we get changed and go get something to eat? I don’t know about you but I could eat a horse," he said, chuckling lightly.
"Yeah, I’m a bit that way myself. Come on, I know a place that is supposed to be good. Get changed into something formal. The place has a formal dress code." I pulled Daniel to his feet and started to help him remove his restrictive clothing.
"You've been here before?"
"Yeah. About twenty years ago I had a joint mission with the SAS. We were doing some joint exercises in Australia to prepare for it. Though I didn’t actually go to this restaurant, it came highly recommended by a couple of the guys I worked with."
I started unbuttoning his shirt and removing the garment from his lean, muscular body. It’s hard to believe sometimes how physically fit Daniel is. He’s always hiding his body in baggy BDUs, which don’t really show off his body. But oh what a body he has. He is drop dead fucking gorgeous. I know I’m not the only one that’s been trying to get into his pants, though I’m the only one who has succeeded.
Once Daniel was standing before me bare-chested, I looked up into his eyes before leaning in to capture his lips in a soul-shattering kiss. As we continued to kiss Daniel started to unbutton my shirt letting it fall from my arms to the floor.
Slowly we pulled apart gazing into each other’s lust-darkened eyes.
"Jack, unless you plan on finishing what you started I suggest you leave me to dress myself," Daniel huskily chastised me.
"Who says I wasn’t planning to finish what I started?" I asked him; my voice thick with lust as I started to trail moist kisses down his neck and chest. "Come on, we need to take a shower and get cleaned up." With a waggle of my eyebrows as I moved towards the bathroom, I asked, "Care to join me?"
"Sure, I could handle that," he replied quickly, removing the remainder of his clothing and joining me in the bathroom where I had stripped and started the shower. Testing that the water was a bearable temperature I quickly pulled Daniel in to join me in the large shower.
Letting the warm water gently cascade over us I leaned in and captured Daniel's mouth in a hungry, demanding kiss. Soon we were both erect and straining to get off.
"What do you want, Jack? Do you want me to fuck you? Hard and fast so you can feel every inch of my dick in your ass?" Daniel asked me with a predatory glint in his eyes.
"Yes. God yes. I want you to fuck me 'til I come, screaming your name."
Daniel quickly grabbed the conditioner from the rack in the shower and poured a generous amount into his hands, coating his fingers with the slick substance. He stepped closer so our bodies were pressed close together, face to face, before reaching around behind me and inserting a slick finger into my opening, moving it in and out of my body in a quick rhythm.
"God Daniel…more…God, that feels good!" I gasped out as Daniel inserted a second finger and moved it around, probing me to find my hidden gland. It didn’t take long before he located it and started to slowly massage it.
"Don’t stop," I growled out as he removed his probing fingers from my body.
"It’s okay," his voice was low and husky. "Grab hold of the showerhead and wrap your legs around my waist," he instructed me as he placed his cock at my opening.
Once we were in position he slowly eased himself inside my body in one smooth stroke, burying himself to the hilt. Once he was sure I’d adjusted to him he started to thrust up into my body, hitting my happy button with every stroke making me cry out at the pleasure.
"Fuck, Danny! Harder, faster…please just fuck me!" I shouted out.
I leaned down to plant a heated kiss on Daniel as I thrust down fast meeting his upward motion, impaling myself down hard onto his length. As I started to feel the heat rising and the tightening in my balls I knew I couldn’t last much longer and I could tell from the look on Danny’s face that he wouldn’t last much longer either.
He started to increase his speed, thrusting hard and fast, filling me, and completing me with every movement of his hips.
"DANNY! I’m gonna…Oh God DANNY!" I roared as I fell over the edge, coming over our joined bodies.
"Love you. Love you so fucking much. OH GOD!" he screamed as he released inside me sending waves of pleasure through me as his shooting seed struck my prostate gland.
Quickly he withdrew from my body allowing my legs to fall to the tiled floor before I was pulled into a slow tender kiss.
"Wow, Jack, that was - "
"Intense," I finished for him, grabbing the soap and sponge and started to wash my lover, removing the evidence of our coupling. Once I'd finished washing him he grabbed the soap and scrubbed me down.
Once we had finished our shower we quickly towelled off and got changed into clean, formal clothing, ready for dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~
We arrived at the restaurant five minutes late. The place was nice; it overlooked the water and had a dance floor and a very romantic atmosphere to it. All in all it was perfect.
"Table for O’Neill?" I asked as we entered the foyer of the restaurant.
"Jack, this place is beautiful," he said, gazing around the room as we were seated at our table.
"I’m glad you like it," I replied as I looked up into his shining eyes.
Once we ordered our meals we sat there making idle conversation and drinking our wine, while we waited for our dinner to be served.
I loved this. Daniel was so peaceful and relaxed. I guess I was too. Since we didn’t have to hide the fact that we were lovers from everyone. No one here knew us, we were free to be ourselves and if they didn’t like it well then they can fuck off as far as I’m concerned.
It didn’t take long and soon our dinner was served. We sat in silence just enjoying each other’s company while we ate.
"Jack, this place is wonderful. Great food, great atmosphere and best of all, great company," he grinned at me after finished his meal.
"Yeah, I agree." I slowly inched my hand forward to cover his hand that was resting on the tabletop causing his face to light up in a brilliant smile that would melt the heart of any one. I entwined our fingers together so we were holding hands across the table for the first time in a public place. It felt good. It made me feel more relaxed than I had in an extremely long time, and from the look on his face I could tell he felt the same way. The only time where we had been able to do this back home was behind closed doors where no one could see us. But everyone gets sick of hiding eventually. All I feel like doing is going up to Hammond and yelling out that I love Daniel Jackson. Though I would never do that, it’d be a sure-fire way of getting my ass thrown in jail.
"Penny for 'em?" my lover asked.
"Ach, I was just thinking how good this is. That we don’t have to hide the fact that we’re lovers." I gently squeezed his hand before bringing it up to my lips where I kissed the palm of his hand, not caring what anyone else thought.
"Yeah, it sure is nice," he replied, rewarding me with one of his special smiles meant for only me.
"Do you wanna dance?" I asked him as I rose to my feet as the music started.
"I’d love to." Daniel allowed me to pull him to his feet and lead him to the dance floor where the other couples had started dancing.
As the song began its slow melody I pulled my beautiful love close against my body, wrapping my arms around his broad back, while he rested his head against my shoulder and wrapped his arms loosely around my waist. We began swaying in time with the music. I recognised the song as one I knew and began to softly sing the words of the song into Daniel's ear.
It was no accident me finding you.
Someone had a hand in it,
Long before we ever knew.
Now I just can't believe you're in my life.
Heaven's smilin' down on me,
As I look at you tonight.
I quietly sang the words of the song to him, feeling him smile against my chest. I slipped my hands down to rest on his ass as we swayed in time to the gentle music flowing around the room.
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars.
He sure knew what he was doin',
When he joined these two hearts.
I hold everything,
When I hold you in my arms.
I've got all I'll ever need,
Thanks to the keeper of the stars.
As I sang and moved with Danny across the small dance floor I thought about how true the words of the song were for us. Daniel lifted his head to gaze into my eyes, resting his hands against my ass.
Soft moonlight on your face,
oh how you shine.
It takes my breath away,
Just to look into your eyes.
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you.
There really are no words,
To show my gratitude.
I love this song. It represented Danny and me so well. He looked up at me, his face lighting up in a smile as I hit a particularly bad note, going off key, which just makes him chuckle.
So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars.
He sure knew what he was doin',
When he joined these two hearts.
I hold everything,
When I hold you in my arms.
I've got all I'll ever need,
Thanks to the keeper of the stars.
It was no accident me finding you.
Someone had a hand in it,
Long before we ever knew.
As the last verse of the song finished, I stopped singing and leaned down to gently ghost a kiss across his lips, then pulled back and lead him back to our table. We called the waiter for the bill, before leaving the restaurant hand in hand.
We walked around for a bit looking at the sights of the city. Though as much as we wanted to further explore the beautiful city we had to head back to the motel for some much needed rest. The jet lag was killing me and I knew we were both exhausted.
We reached the motel in no time, taking the lift up to our room.
"Did you have a nice night, Danny?" I stood before him as he started to quickly get undressed and ready for bed.
"Yeah, it was wonderful. I didn’t know you could sing though?" he smiled, coming closer to me.
"I can’t. I don’t think I got one note right," I said, laughing quietly as I removed my shirt and jacket.
"Nah, you did good. I think you managed to get a note or two right. Who knew the big macho Air Force colonel was such a closet romantic?" Daniel wrapped his slender arms around my waist.
Daniel had stripped down to his boxer shorts, revealing his smooth skin to me as he leaned up to capture my lips in a slow sensuous kiss, which lasted several breathtaking moments. I lightly brushed my tongue along his lower lip encouraging him to open his mouth to me, which he did, eagerly deepening the kiss. As we continued to kiss I ghosted my fingers along his sides and chest, caressing the smooth skin laid out before me. We broke the kiss and stared into each other’s darkened eyes seeing the love we held for each other reflected there.
I quickly removed my shoes, socks and pants, so I was standing in front of my lover clad only in my boxers. Once I had done that I pulled him into another long kiss, savouring his unique taste.
"Come on, let's go to bed. It’s late and I’m exhausted from the jet lag," I said. Holding Daniel around the waist I pulled him with me to the bed.
"Yeah. Ack, the time difference is killing me. All I want to do is sleep for a week," he replied and flopped heavily onto the bed, pulling me with him.
"I know. Come here." I indicated for him to rest his head on my chest. Once he had settled down onto my chest I turned the bedside lamp off and held him close.
"I love you, Danny," I told him as I dropped a kiss onto the top on his head.
I know. I love you too, Jack," he sleepily replied, dropping a kiss onto my chest before letting the exhaustion take over and pull him into a deep sleep.
Once Daniel was fast asleep, softly snoring, I finally let sleep overtake me. //
