Note: Takes place a couple of weeks after Janet's birthday and about 5 months after "The Vacation." The dining room was a mess. There were dirty dishes and empty beer bottles littering the table. The tablecloth was splattered with gravy, wine, beer, and cranberry stains. The stripped carcass of a Butterball turkey sat in a platter near the head of the table. It was enough to bring tears to Martha Stewart's eyes. Janet Fraiser smiled and said, "Dinner was a success!" "What a mess!" Samantha Carter replied. Janet looked at her friend and asked, "Give a girl a hand?" "Anytime, honey," Sam said before pinching Janet's butt. "Eeek! Sam!" Janet exclaimed. "Hey! Everything alright in there?" Jack O'Neill called from the living room. "Yeah, Colonel, we're okay," Janet yelled back before whispering "except your FO is molesting your CMO!" Sam smiled sweetly, looking innocent and chaste. "Did I hurt you? Let me rub it and make it better." Sam's hand caressed the doctor's denim-clad posterior. "Sa-am," Janet said as she slipped away. "We have guests!" The two women began to pick up plates and silverware as Daniel came in. "Can I help?" "Sure! You can help bring this mess into the kitchen." Janet gladly accepted the help as she led the way into the disaster area that had been her kitchen only a few hours ago. "Oh God!" Sam moaned. She knew Janet, and she knew the doctor wouldn't come to bed until everything was either drying in the dishrack or in the dishwasher. And Sam wanted Janet in bed so badly. SG-1 had just returned late the night before from a weeklong recon of P4Z-225. It was uneventful and Sam had been looking forward to being alone with Janet. Unfortunately, they came back too late last night and today was Thanksgiving and Janet had invited SG-1 over more than two weeks before at her birthday party. Now, even her flirting had to be checked with Daniel in the room. Sam felt her need growing every time she got even a whiff of Janet's perfume. After depositing a load of dishes on the drainboard, Daniel returned to the dining room and Sam came up behind Janet. "I never told you what I was thankful for..." she whispered into Janet's ear. Then she flicked her tongue along the edge of her lover's ear. "Sam!" Janet warned, as a thrill ran down her spine. She wanted to be with Sam as badly as Sam wanted to be with her. Sam held Janet's hips and rubbed herself against the soft, round ass, "Do you know how much I want you right now?" "As much as I want you," Janet whispered as she leaned back into Sam's arms. "Oh, uhm. I'm sorry." Daniel stood in the dining room doorway with a flustered look on his face. "Daniel!" both women said in unison, shock and fear evident on their faces. "Uh, Daniel, it's not..." Sam had no idea what to say. She felt her stomach clench and her heart in her throat. This was their worst fear realized: discovery. It could easily mean the end of both of their careers. Janet stood there with Sam's hands still on her hips, but not feeling anything except an icy finger of dread moving up and down her spine. Daniel blinked owlishly several times and cleared his throat. "Uh, Sam, Janet. I, uh, didn't mean to, well, I..." Then seeing the fearful looks on their faces and knowing the restrictive attitude of the Pentagon and the Defense Department, he said, "Uhm, ladies. I won't say anything because, as far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen anything." Sam exhaled heavily, "Thank you Daniel." Janet merely nodded. "Can I ask, though, how long...?" "Well, since Florida actually," Sam replied, still slightly pale. Janet found her voice and added, "We do love each other. And Cassie is great about it. Thank you for not saying anything." Daniel nodded, "I kinda thought something was going on between you two ever since your vacation. You both acted really weird for the first couple of weeks you were back." "Oh God, really?" Sam felt the fear returning. "Yeah, well, right after your vacation I noticed the way either of you would start to smile when the other came into a room. Uh, the long, knowing looks across the conference table. I kind of thought there was something more than friendship but I wasn't sure. Also thought it was just my overactive imagination. And it was none of my business. Tonight, um tonight, I could definitely sense something at the dinner table." Daniel pushed up his glasses and went on, "Oh, uh, don't worry about tonight. Jack had eyes only for his beer and his food. Teal'c was too interested in another Tauri custom to notice. Not that I think he'd care if he did see you two. I will say that you two have been incredibly discreet at the SGC lately." Janet finally took Sam's hands and lifted them from her hips and stepped to the side. "So it doesn't bother you? Sam and I?" Shaking his head, Daniel smiled and said, "If you two are happy, well, that's the most important thing. And, believe me, from my academic days, I have a much more open-minded view of relationships than the government does." Sam stepped over to her friend and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you, Daniel. You're a great friend." Janet repeated the gesture and added, "If we can ever repay you for your kindness..." Daniel waved her off. "Janet, Sam, there's nothing to repay or any favor to return. To be honest, I think you make a great couple." A voice called from the living room, "Hey, Danny-Boy, how's about some beers out here?" Glancing at the closed partition into the living room, Daniel called back, "Be right out!" Handing the dishes he was carrying to Janet, he opened the refrigerator and grabbed two bottles of Bud and headed out to the living room. Sam looked at Janet and said, "Phew! That was close." "Too close. We better be careful around here when we have company." Janet turned back towards the sink when Sam grabbed her arm and whirled her around. "Hey! What're you doing?" "This." Sam kissed Janet and slid her arms around the shorter woman's waist. "Hmmmm," Janet moaned into Sam's mouth as Sam slipped her tongue into the warm moistness of Janet's mouth. She slid one arm around Sam's back and the other hand intertwined in Sam's hair. "Mom! Oh, not again!" Cassie as she charged into the kitchen. "You two..." Sam continued to hold Janet in her arms and looked at her young friend, "What? Never saw two people in love before?" "Yeah, but this is just getting ridiculous!" Cassie declared as she scowled at the two women. "You both need a cold shower or something." "Cassie!" Janet said. Then, in a calmer tone, she asked "What do you want anyway?" "Jack and Teal'c were wondering where you were," Cassie smiled sneakily. "And if there's anymore pie." Janet rolled her eyes, "They're asking for more pie? Alright, tell them we'll be out soon. With more pie." Sam rested her forehead against Janet's. "Remember when we all said what we were thankful for just before dinner?" "Yeah," Janet laughed. "Jack said he was thankful for the cold beer and all the food. And Teal'c had no idea what we were talking about!" Sam pulled back and chuckled. Looking into Janet's eyes, she said, "Yeah, we all were laughing and I don't know if you saw my mouthing 'I love you.'" Holding Janet close, she whispered, "I'm thankful for you. I'm thankful to whatever it was that opened my eyes to how wonderful you are." Janet hugged Sam tightly, "I saw. And my heart's still soaring. I love you too. And I am so thankful that you are such a huge part of my life. You and Cassie are my whole life, and I wouldn't have it any other way." Sam gently kneaded Janet's ass as she lowered her mouth to her love's. The passionate kiss left them both breathless. "You taste like turkey," Sam joked. Janet gave her a little pinch and said, "Well, at least I don't taste like chicken!" Sam smiled, "Between the adrenaline rush of being barged in on and your busy little tongue, I am hotter than you can imagine." Janet pulled out of Sam's arms, "Wait right here." Janet went into the living room, carrying the rest of the pumpkin and the pecan pies and four beers carefully. "Gentlemen, here's the rest of the pie and some more beer. Sam and I are going to get a start on the dishes, so unless you're volunteering to dry, stay out." Janet shared a look with Daniel who gave her a smile and a half-nod. Jack O'Neill, sprawled in a recliner, nodded, "Not a problem, Doc. I have my pie and my beer, I'm happy." Teal'c, following his friend's lead, said, "I am content also." "Okay, we'll be done in a few minutes and join you for the rest of the movie," Janet nodded towards the TV where "Austin Powers" was running. She was glad the football games were finally over. Jack's language when watching sports was salty to say the least. Returning to the kitchen, Janet said, "We're assured of a few minutes privacy." She reached for Sam and hooked her fingers in the waistband of her jeans, pulling the blonde forward. Unsnapping the pants and pulling the zipper down, she smiled wickedly and said, "There is something to be said for sex in dangerous places, isn't there?" Sam could only nod, remembering the fantastic lovemaking they had shared in Janet's office earlier in the month. She watched as Janet pulled the tight jeans down over her hips. "Jump up on the counter," Janet commanded. "My, aren't we bossy?" Sam said as she sat on the drainboard. Janet pulled the sodden cotton panties out of the way and bent down to taste Sam's arousal. "Hmmm! Best thing I've tasted today!" she declared before slipping her tongue into Sam again. The contact of Janet's mouth on Sam's sex was almost electric. Sam grabbed a dishtowel and bit it to keep from crying out. Janet swirled her tongue all around the wet labia and thrust it into Sam's hot channel. Janet became like a woman possessed whenever she tasted Sam and nibbled on the outer lips before shoving her tongue back between them. As Sam squirmed on the counter, Janet began to lick her clitoris and Sam felt the orgasm wash over her, as she moaned into the terrycloth. Janet stood up and stroked Sam's hair off her forehead. Sam pulled the towel out of her mouth, and sighed. "God, that was great!" Janet kissed Sam, letting the blonde taste herself. Then Sam knelt down and jerked Janet's pants and panties down, burying her face in the brown curls. Sam slipped two fingers into her woman and began to suck and tongue the hard little nub above the sopping slit. After several swipes of her tongue on Janet's clitoris, she felt the walls of Janet's vagina grip her fingers as the doctor came. Now it was Sam's turn to let Janet taste herself. This was one of Sam's favorite after-sex activities. She could kiss and cuddle with the little brunette all night. "We can get off quickly when we need to, can't we?" Janet commented. Sam nodded as she hugged her tightly. After pulling apart, Janet said, "I want you so much. Let's get rid of 'em." She nodded towards the living room. It was Sam's turn to smile wickedly, "We can't be rude now, dear. It's only 7 o'clock." "But, I..." Sam stopped Janet, placing a finger over her lips. "We have all night and all day tomorrow. Trust me, you will be quite satisfied," Sam promised. As they rearranged their clothes, Janet said, "I'm holding you to that promise." "As long as you hold me," Sam said.
