Tag to S&R….sometimes it’s the little things that matter most. The little things that tell you you’re alive.

“Thank you for dinner.”Jennifer said quietly as she and John stepped into her quarters the door sliding shut behind them.

John pulled her into an embrace as he reached up and tenderly touched her face. “I’m just glad you’re talking to me again, angel.”

Jennifer smiled but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I never gave you the silent treatment.”

“Should’ve.”John replied. “Would’ve been easier than just Doctor and Colonel talk.”

“You scared me and put me in a hell of a spot.”Jennifer stated her voice trembling with emotion.

It’d been two weeks since his recovery but it was still raw.

John swallowed hard. “I know….I’m sorry. If there had been another way I would’ve taken it. I couldn’t leave Teyla there….not in that bastard’s hands.”

Jennifer folded into his arms resting her head on his chest. “You don’t have to apologize again.”

John rested his chin on top of her head. “I feel I need too, angel. I played on our personal relationship….I knew no other doctor would let me out of there but I knew I could convince you. I knew I could make you understand.”

Jennifer’s right hand balled into a fist against his chest. “Do you have any idea what it took out of me, John, to do that? Knowing what your injury was….knowing how bad it was. Do you know what it took for me to let you go knowing I might never see you again?”

John winced as he felt her shoulders shake as sobs shook her small frame. Every one of them tore at his heart.

“I’m sorry, angel.”John whispered knowing the words weren’t enough but they were all he had. “So sorry.”

Jennifer’s sobs stopped and she raised her head to meet his gaze. Her breathe caught at the turmoil she saw……love, sadness and regret.

“Angel….”John began in a barely audible voice not knowing what to say.

Jennifer leaned forward and captured his lips with hers. She needed to feel him. All of him.

John moaned as the kiss heated. He felt her pull his shirt out of his pants. He did the same with hers.

Once the clothes were discarded an idea worked its way into John’s disoriented thoughts.

One they hadn’t done.

One he knew she’d enjoy.

John kissed her his tongue hungrily probing every inch of her mouth. As his fingers played with the hard bud of her right nipple John heard Jennifer groan and felt her knees weaken.

John smiled and supported her by placing an arm under her bottom. They’re tongues met and twined. John caressed her ass moving from one cheek to the other and was rewarded by another low moan.

John felt his cock harden as he traced the area near her tailbone. He slipped a finger inside entering her from behind.

“Oh, God, John.”Jennifer moaned as he continued to work magic with his fingers. Her clit ached from neglect…..wetness seeped between her legs. “Please….”

John kissed her once more before saying huskily. “We’re just getting started, angel.”

He stepped back and took Jennifer’s hand leading her to the opposite side of the room.

Though as John led the way to the bathroom he had almost taken her right there and then on the floor in the middle of the main room. Her swollen lips, hard nipples…..

By the time John got the right water temperature Jennifer had no coherent thought left. It was pure need.

She wanted to feel him and only him…..hard and full inside her.

Jennifer pushed him into the shower stall. She drew her hands slowly down his torso and felt him tremble. Jennifer traced the fresh scar briefly before moving downward.
 Her hands brushed against the tip of penis before she dropped down her mouth hungrily claiming it.

John’s hands gripped Jennifer’s shoulders tightly as the hot water rained down on them. He leaned back against the wall as raw lightening zipped through his veins as her tongue danced…..and licked…..

With a groan John pulled Jennifer to her feet and pressed her against the other wall. He crushed his lips to hers as she put her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Angel…..”John nearly whimpered when they came up for air.

John grasped her slim hips and pulled her back away from him slightly so he had access. The wall supported them as his mouth sought her right breast and his fingers pounded out a rhythm on her clit.

An orgasm rocked Jennifer and she felt her nails dig into his shoulder blades as she closed her eyes.

All she felt was heat.

Him, her, steam and water.

“Now, John….please.”Jennifer begged her voice high and hoarse.

John shuffled his stance and his lips found hers once more. He pounded his cock into her hard and fast.

The water hit his back as he thrust into her again and again. Jennifer’s hips rocked against him with each thrust.

Jennifer met each thrust. Moving with him until she felt him release. She cried out his name and clawed at his shoulders as her climax came.

After a long moment John withdrew from her and moved them into the corner of the shower. He cradled her there against the wall. One hand absently playing with her breasts.

The water was getting cooler.

Neither of them moved.

“Love you, angel.”John said quietly hoping she knew just how much. Hoping she knew how much she healed him.

“Love you too.”Jennifer whispered drowsily.

Reluctantly John stepped back and turned off the water. He stepped out and wrapped them in one towel. Seeing how tired she was John quickly dried them both off. Tossing the towel aside he scooped Jennifer up in his arms and carried her to the bed.

Once under the covers Jennifer nestled against him. Almost instantly both were asleep.
