You don't really need an excuse...

"I hate reports," Gibbs grumbled as John set the crystal containing all the files and reports from investigation his team just finished on his desk. Pushing away from his computer, the older man looked at it before lifting his eyes up to him. "You could've just sent that through the network, you know."

"Yeah, but I know the one thing you hate more than reports," he said, crossing his arms.

"Inscribing the crystal to send to the TISCI director back on Earth." Gibbs snorted and shook his head. "I think she's more computer-phobic than I am. Thanks, Sheppard."

"No problem."

Gibbs pointed to the chair across his desk. "What's the latest on the Gemini investigation?"

"Tim's running an analysis of the video we took of the scene and Allie's going over the evidence we collected," John told him as he sat down in the chair. "But we also found some writings. Not sure of the language."

"Guess I don't have to ask who you're going to go see about that?"

John raised his eyebrows as he stood up. "What's that supposed to mean? She's good."

"And she's single."

"I'll let you know what she figures out."

"You don't need an excuse to go see her, you know. Just ask her out."

Shaking his head, John headed out of Gibbs' office and went down to his desk in what they called the pit. Of course, nothing on Poseidon could be considered a pit. Tim McGee was staring at his screen, working his way through the footage. Allie was nowhere to be seen, which meant she was probably in one of the labs. Reaching down, John picked up the tablet that Tim had transcribed all the writing from the scene into.

"I'm going to the library. I'll be back in a bit," he told him.

Looking up, Tim arched his eyebrows for a moment, looking like he was about to say something, before shaking his head and returning to his work. John decided to ignore everyone trying to put their nose in his personal life.

Even if they right.

Heading to the library, John headed through and back to where he'd knew he'd find her. It was where she usually was.

"Jennifer?" he called out, softly though since this was a library. "Jennifer, you there?"

Jennifer shifted in her chair, and softly sighed. She looked at the screen in front of her, and read the report again. It was getting toward the end of the month, which meant everyone needed to have their monthly reports in. And since she was the head of her department, she had to go through all the reports her department wrote.

And it was a pain in the ass.

Shifting again, Jennifer continued to stare at the computer screen, the words blurring and blending together. Her mind drifted to John Sheppard, and she smiled. She had liked him a lot and found she liked having him around, even if sometimes they only saw each other because of work. It didn't matter to her. As long as she got to spend time with him.

Shaking her head, Jennifer pulled herself out of her thoughts. She knew she was setting herself up for a fall. John didn't go for girls like her. She was the nerdy type, who hid in the library all day. Plus, almost all the women in the city thought John was handsome. She didn't have a chance.

When she suddenly heard John calling out for her, Jennifer jumped a little and blushed. "I-I'm in my office," she said.

As he stepped inside, she gave him a smile. "Hey," she said, the blush still on her cheeks. "What's up?"

When John heard Jennifer's voice, he smiled and hurried back to her office. "Hey there," he said, noticing that she was a little pink. It didn't seem warm in there. Had he interrupted something?

"I...um..." He looked back over his shoulder for a moment though he wasn't sure completely sure why. "Not sure if you heard, but there several people disappeared from the Gemini outpost without a trace," he told her. "We processing everything we collected at the scene, but there was some writing that we found on the walls and on a few of the computers. I was hoping you might be able to take a look?"

He set the tablet down in front of her before shifting a little bit. He knew he should probably let her get back to work, but he found that he didn't want to leave quite yet. Especially not since he hadn't seen her in a while.

"How was your trip?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck before crossing his arms. "Wasn't the same around here without you."

Jennifer saved the report she was looking at, and looked up at John. As he started to explain about the Gemini outpost, she nodded. It was one of the first things she'd been briefed about when she had returned to Poseidon the day before. She looked at the tablet, and then picked it up. "I should be able to," she said as she turned it on. "This is ancient Astrail. I should have it translated in a few hours."

Smiling, Jennifer looked up at John as he asked about her trip. Her smile turned into a grin, and she motioned for him to sit down in the chair across from her. "It was amazing! I got to meet with some of the elders, and they really helped me," she excitedly said. "After a few days of meditation, I finally shifted! Into a cat but it finally happened! I'll have to show you some time."

Jennifer then looked down at the tablet for a moment before looking at John again. "The trip would've been better if you'd been there to talk to," she said, her cheeks warming with a blush. She cleared her throat and shook her head. "How have you been? Anything exciting happen? I mean, besides work stuff, of course."

John sat down, grinning at the excitement on Jennifer's face as she told him about her trip. He was glad to hear that she had finally been able to do what she had been trying to do for so long. "That's great!" he told her. "A cat, huh? I'm...I can't wait to see you do it. You'll have to tell me more about everything that happened."

He knew how much it meant to her that she had finally succeeded, so it surprised him when she told him that it would have been better trip if he had been there. Snorting a bit, he shook his head. "Nah. I would have just bored the hell out of you," he said. "Or distracted you, and that wouldn't have been good."

Was it hot in there? It seemed like it had to be. What with how pink her cheeks were and how warm he felt.

"I've been good," he told her. "My team finished another case. I guess you could say it was exciting since Tim bonked his head. Had to see the new doctor at the hospital."

Shrugging, he sat back. "But other than that...no much else. Like I said, it wasn't that same without you here." He looked up, remembering what Gibbs had said. "Since you're back...would you like to have dinner tonight? Maybe go for a walk?"

"An orange tabby to be exact," Jennifer said as she shrugged her shoulders. She then looked at him, and shook her head. "You're not boring, John. I would've been nice to have you there. I could've shown you the valley with the river and waterfalls. It's beautiful and peaceful there."

And very romantic but Jennifer wasn't going to add that. It was bad enough she had gotten all the books by John's favorite authors for the library. She really didn't want him to think she was stalking him. If he did, then he probably wouldn't come to see her anymore, and seeing John was always the highlight of her day.

Laughing, Jennifer shook her head. "Poor Tim. How many times has he hit his head in the last month?" she asked with an amused look. "And I'm glad you've been okay. I...thought about you a lot while I was gone. My father had told me there had been some trouble on a couple of planets. I didn't know if your team had investigated it or not, so I was worried about you being hurt."

Jennifer looked down again at the tablet, her cheeks still warm. She had told her mother about John, and she had encouraged her to ask him out. When Jennifer had balked at the idea, Anna had reminded her she was getting to the age where Naguals started to have a heightened sense of sexuality, and feeling the need to find a mate.

Jennifer certainly didn't need her mother to tell her that, especially after some of the dreams she'd had about John.

However, all thoughts of mating were pushed aside when John asked her out for dinner. Jennifer looked up and stared at him for a brief moment before grinning. "I would love to. It'll give me an excuse to get out of the library for a while. Plus, I've missed you, and I'm sorely lacking in my John-time," she said with a soft smile.

John raised his eyebrows when Jennifer told him the things she would have shown him if he had been with her. He had to admit - that actually sounded really nice, especially considering that most of the interesting places he saw most of the time had some kind of dark taint to them because of some crime or other incident that had occurred. "Maybe you could show me them some other time," he said.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he looked down briefly. Way to be assuming, he thought.

Instead, he chuckled at her comment about Tim. "Well, it wasn't his fault. One of the places we were led to by the evidence was bobby trapped. He pushed Allie out of the way and took the brunt of the hit." He shook his head, though, when she mentioned the problems that had been happening elsewhere. "Currently, we're not involved. TISCI using some of their central teams from Earth. I guess they want to keep the information from the investigations as close to home as they can."

It meant a lot to him that she had been worried about him, though. It wasn't something that he really had. Not with his mom gone, and his brother and father not caring where in the galaxy he was. Having someone who cared about him...it felt nice. Especially since it was Jennifer.

So he was glad when she accepted his invitation to have dinner. Though her comment about John-time had him feeling a bit warm again. God, did she even realize what she did to him when she smiled or talked to him like that? Probably not.

"Well, good. I mean...we'll have to make up for that." He already had an idea of what he wanted to do. "How about I come by your place around seven? Will that give you enough time once you leave here?"

Jennifer was glad to hear John's team wasn't working on the planets with the uprising. The last thing she wanted was for him to get hurt. She understood his job could be dangerous at times, and it was part of the job, but it didn't stop her from worrying. John meant a lot to her - more than he probably knew - and she didn't want to lose him.

Smiling, Jennifer perked an eyebrow. "I'll keep you to that," she said. She looked at the tablet again, and nodded. "That'll be plenty of time. And, I promise to have this translation finished for you later. I'll e-mail it to you before I leave for the night."

Jennifer looked up again, and looked him in the eyes. She wanted nothing more than to lean over the desk, and kiss him. Shifting a little, she remembered the pep talk her mother gave her about being more forward. Jennifer knew she was forward enough when it came to her work, but she was awkward when it came to social situations. Chewing on her bottom lip, Jennifer pondered what she should do for a moment before coming to a decision.

"John...before you go, there's something I need to tell you," she said, hoping she was making the right decision. "My mom told me during my I should be more...forward and honest about things." She took a deep breath. "I think you should know I really like you, John. I mean, really like you."

John grinned widely when she agreed to 7 p.m. That would give him plenty of time to get things ready as well. He started making a mental checklist of what he'd need to get and take care of before then if this was going to work like he hoped.

"Thanks, Jen," he said. "I'll keep a look out for the translation."

He was just about to stand up when she told him she had something to tell him, so he stayed where he was, leaning forward a bit. As she started talking, he felt his heart thud a few times in his chest. Pushing up from his chair, he circled around her desk and reached over to touch her cheek.

"This isn't just a friendship like you're talking about, right?" he said before kneeling down in front of her. "Well, I think you should know...I really like you too."

Jennifer wasn't sure how John was going to react to her confession. She was beginning to wonder if she should take it back, but didn't when she saw John standing from his chair. Oh gods, he was going to leave! Her mouth opened but quickly shut it when he rounded her desk.

"No, it's not the friendship kind of like," she dumbly said. She watched as he knelt in front of her. Her lips curled up into a huge grin, and she felt herself blush again. "Good! I mean...good!"

Jennifer looked down at him, her body warming from their closeness. She had always wondered what it would be like to kiss him, and this was her chance to find out. After taking a deep breath, she reached down and placed her hand on his cheek.

"I think I may need to do this," Jennifer whispered before she leaned forward and softly pressed her lips to his. She then tilted her head a bit, and slowly deepened the kiss.

John chuckled at Jennifer's reaction. She was so adorably beautiful when she grinned like that. It was one of the things that attracted him to her, almost from the very first time he had met her, right after he had been assigned to Poseidon.

God, he had wanted to kiss her for a long time.

And right then, he was highly aware of the fact that she was moving closer to him. Close enough for that kiss. So when she leaned to him and did, he groaned softly, sliding his hands around her and shifting up nearer to her. Her lips were soft, and when she deepened the kiss, he responded in kind.

When they had to part to breathe, he looked at her. He wanted badly to stay there for the rest of the afternoon, but he knew that he had to get back to the TISCI department. And the sooner he did, the sooner they'd be able to meet for dinner.

"I should probably get going," he told her. "But I'm looking forward to dinner with you. Especially after this." He leaned up and kissed her again. "See you tonight."

Kissing John was the most amazing thing Jennifer had ever felt. His hands on her felt wonderful, and he tasted really good. When they pulled apart, she softly ran her fingers over his cheek. He was so handsome, and he was also right - they really needed to get back to work.

"Yeah, and I have a few things I need to get done or Landry's not going to be pleased," she said with a soft laugh. Leaning forward, she softly kissed him before pulling back. "I'll see you later, John."

After he was gone, Jennifer did her best to get her work done. It was hard, though, since all she could think about was him. She kept wondering what he was doing, and about their date. Finally, she got the translations finished, furrowed her brow when they seem to talk about an abandoned temple on one of the galaxy's outer planets. She made a note of it in her report, and sent it to John.

Finally, it was time to leave for the day. Jennifer stood from her desk, and walked out of the library. She went to her quarters, and cleaned up before changing into a blue sundress. She put her hair up into a ponytail, and looked at herself in the mirror. Jennifer couldn't believe she was going on a date with John.

When she saw it was almost time to leave, she slipped her sandals on and went out to the living room to wait for him.

When John returned to the TISCI department, he saw Tim look up at him with raised eyebrows. He simply returned his gaze before going to sit down at his desk. He started to check his messages, but he could tell Tim was still looking at him.

"Where's Allie?"

"Still working with Nick to go over the evidence we collected," he told him.

John nodded and continued to tab through his messages. "Tim...do you want Gibbs to head slap you for wasting time?"

"Um...no..."

"The stop staring at me and get to work," he told him.

"Did you finally ask her?"

"Shut up, Tim."

"You were smiling when you came back in..."

John glanced over at the other man. Had he? He supposed he shouldn't be surprised. He had kissed Jen finally, after all. But still... "Shut. Up. Tim."

"Right."

Shaking his head, he got back to reviewing his messages, including what Tim had found in the video. He found himself still thinking about having kissed Jen and about their dinner that evening. After a bit, he realized he was smiling again, but he didn't care if Tim noticed.

When the translations from Jennifer arrived, he looked over at them, frowning when he saw the note about an abandoned temple. He marked that for follow up - it was the first real lead they had - and sent it to Tim for him to research.

Once he finished, he headed to the dining hall and talked to one of the ladies there briefly. He then went to the shop and picked up a few things before going to his quarters and changing into more casual clothes. His hair, of course, continued to not cooperate as it usually did. When he was ready, he returned the dining hall and picked up the basket that was ready for him.

Soon, he was standing in front of Jennifer's door. When she answered, he grinned and held the basket up.

"How about a picnic? One of the balconies or we could go out to the mainland. Your choice."

When Jennifer heard her door chime, she took a deep breath and answered it. Her face broke out into a huge grin when she saw John standing there. Looking down at the basket, she nodded. "I haven't been on a picnic in a long time," she said before looking at him again. "And I know the perfect balcony to have a picnic on. I just need to grab something."

Turning around, Jennifer hurried into her bed, and grabbed a small bag. When she came back, she held it up. "Candles to keep the bugs away," she said before stepping closer to John. She tugged him closer, and softly kissed him, not caring if anyone was walking by. "Okay, I'm ready now."

Jennifer took John's hand, and they walked together to the balcony. On the way there, they passed Evan and Laura, and Jennifer found herself softly snorting when Laura gave her the thumbs up. Jennifer was pretty sure Laura was going to tell everyone about what she saw, but she didn't care. John was the most wonderful man in the city, and she wanted the whole universe to know she was with him.

When they got to the balcony, Jennifer let go of John's hand, and sat her bag down on the floor before going over to a secret compartment. She opened it, and produced a blanket. "I like to come here to think, especially when a translation isn't working out the way it should," she explained as she handed the blanket to him.

She then took the candles out of the bag, and set them up on the perimeter of the balcony. Once they were lit, she went over and sat down next to John. "I'm really glad you asked me out tonight," she said with a smile. She then leaned forward, and kissed him.

John nodded when Jennifer said she knew the perfect place for their picnic. He waited by the door while she grabbed the candles, looking at the basket when she mentioned what they were for. "I didn't even think of that," he said. "Guess it's a good thing I have you around."

He tightened his hand a bit around hers and headed up to the balcony with her. Evan gave him a grin when they passed, and John found himself suppressing a groan. Everyone at TISCI was going to know about this in the morning now. He just wondered who was going to take credit for getting him to ask her. Probably Gibbs.

All thoughts of his co-workers were pushed aside, however, once they reached the balcony. He chuckled when Jen pulled out the blanket and raised his eyebrows. So this was where she disappeared to sometimes. Looking around, he could definitely see why she would come up here - the view was amazing.

"I can see that this would be...inspiring," he told her as he put the basket down on the edge of the blanket and started to unpack. A few moments later, though, he found Jen leaning toward him for a kiss, and the napkins slipped out of his hand as he reached up to cup her face. "Hmmmm...I'm really glad I asked you out tonight too."

He caressed his hand over her temple and kissed her again before pulling back. He pulled out the bottle from the basket and held it up.

"Is sparkling wine okay for you?" he asked. "I know some races don't do well with alcohol but I couldn't find anything about Naguals."

"I really like coming up here. It's nice and quiet," Jennifer said after pulling away from their kiss. "But since I've shown it to you, it can be our place now."

Leaning back, she watched as John unpacked the basket. Everything looked so good, and Jennifer realized she hadn't had a lot for lunch since she was so busy trying to catch up after being away. When John pulled out the bottle of wine, she grinned at him.

"The Naguals do rather well with alcohol. It takes a lot to get us drunk," Jennifer said. "So I can have a glass or two."

Reaching over, she grabbed the plates and laid them out before grabbing a strawberry. "This is really good," she said as she looked over at John. She then looked at what else she could eat before she glanced at John. "Sorry. If I don't eat them I'm going to be tempted to makeout with you for the rest of the night. Unless that's what you want. I won't mind."

"Our place. I think I like the sound of that," John told Jen as he glanced back out over the ocean. "I'd definitely like to come up more often, especially with you."

He was glad that he hadn't made a huge faux pas with the wine, but somehow, it didn't seem right to bring anything else to the picnic although he had packed some water, just in case. He found himself laughing, though, at the fact that it took a lot to get a Nagual drunk.

"So that's why there wasn't anything in the database," he said. "You don't want to give away your secret when it comes to bar bets."

While she grabbed the plates, he pulled out the glasses and poured them each a glass. He raised his eyebrows in amusement as she started eating the strawberry before coughing a bit when she talked about making out with him instead of eating.

"I...um...might be best if we eat. I mean, I did go through a lot of trouble to...ask the dining hall to put this together." He leaned forward and held up the glass to her. "I have a feeling there'll be plenty of make-out time later."

Nodding, Jennifer took the glass of wine from John and smiled. "Good idea. I'm pretty hungry anyway. A bowl of popcorn isn't a good lunch," she said with a small laugh. She took a drink of the wine, and sat the glass to the side before looking to see what John got.

"Oh! Chicken! I love chicken," she said with a grin. She then laughed as she put a piece on her plate, along with some of the fixings John had gotten. "The first time I ever went to Earth was when I was nine. My mom didn't know how her family would react to her marrying an...alien. Anyway, we went to Wisconsin, and my uncle managed a place that sold chicken so he brought some for the family dinner. It was the first time I had ever had chicken, and before anyone could stop me, I had eaten some of the bones. Ended up being taken to the local hospital. The ER doctor was so excited when they did a blood test, and saw I had a lot more "alien" DNA than human. Anyway, despite all of that, I still love chicken."

Looking down, Jennifer softly blushed before looking at John again. "I promise not to eat the bones this time," she said with a soft laugh. She looked down again and took a small bite of her salad.

"You know, the annual summer dance on Neo is in a couple of weeks, and my parents really want me to be there. Do you want to come with me? It's nothing formal, and a lot of people from Poseidon will be there, too," she said as she looked up at him again.

John furrowed his brow at Jen. "Popcorn? Have you been taking lessons from Tim McGee? I swear that he lives on the stuff sometimes, especially when we're in the middle of a marathon investigation."

After taking a sip of his wine, he chuckled when she saw what the dining hall had packed for them, glad that he had made a good guess. Once she had served herself, he then made up his own plate and leaned back, listening while she told him about her first encounter with chicken. By the end of it, he was almost laughing, not sure whether he was more amused by Jennifer eating the chicken or the doctor thinking he had hit the DNA jackpot.

"Hey, considering that I once ate a dog bone..." he said before shrugging. "My brother told me it was a cool-shaped cookie."

Taking a few bites of his chicken, he then picked up his wine and took another sip, swallowing a bit harder than he intended at her question. "Really?" he asked before coughing a little. "You want me to go with you?"

He supposed he shouldn't have been surprised - after all, they were together now. In a way. It was just that he'd heard stories about the Neo summer dances, especially considering the stories about the Naguals. But he also knew that the summer dance was undoubtedly important to her, given that it was a huge event for her people even if it wasn't formal.

"I...I'd be honored," he told her, reaching out to cup her face, his thumb running over her cheek.

"Hey, when you're swamped with reports to read, you eat whatever you can find. And I happened to find a bag of microwave popcorn."

Jennifer gave John a smile, and turned back to her food. When he said he would be honored to come to the dance with her, she grinned. Reaching up, she covered his hand with hers. "Thanks," she softly said.

After giving him a kiss, Jennifer went back to eating as she explained to him what the dance entailed. She told him about the feast and carnival games, and everything in between. The only thing Jennifer didn't tell John about was the naked river swim since it was mostly for single people, and she really didn't like the idea of others seeing John naked.

Soon, they were finished with the main course, and Jennifer sat her plate aside, and picked up the last unopened container. When she opened it, her face broke out into a grin. Inside was two pieces of chocolate cake with whipped chocolate frosting. She remembered briefly mentioning once how it was her favorite dessert, and he had remembered. "You're the most wonderful man I've ever met," she told him before giving him a soft kiss.

Once she had put the pieces of cake on some plates, Jennifer slowly started to eat her piece. As she did, she started to think about how much she liked spending time with John, and how he made her feel special. Jennifer knew she didn't want the evening to end when they were done eating, so she looking over at him, and took a deep breath. "I...do you want to come back to my quarters once we're finished with dessert?" she softly asked him.

It didn't take a genius to know what Jennifer was applying with her invitation. And if John thought it was too soon, Jennifer would be fine with it since she knew she would wait forever for John.

John smiled at Jen and returned her kiss before sitting back to finish his dinner. He listened with interest while she told him about the dance. It was fairly obvious by the time she finished as to why it was the biggest event on Neo. He found himself looking forward to attending it with her.

Once they were finished, John took her plate and put it inside the basket after taking out a couple of smaller clean ones before watching as she opened the container. He hoped he had remembered right about what she liked. She had said one time it was her favorite once.

Given the smile on her face, it looked like he had recalled right. He found himself blushing a little bit when she called him wonderful. He wasn't that special. And there was something about her that made him feel like a schoolboy at times.

When she then asked him if he wanted to go back to her quarters, that look in her eyes, John stared at her for a moment, feeling a knot of want in his stomach. He didn't want to push her, but he also didn't want this end. He wanted to stay with her and be with her.

Truth be told, he'd fantasized about it. A lot.

"Yes," he finally said before leaning closer to kiss her softly. "If you're sure."

Jennifer nervously chewed on her lip as John stared at her. She was beginning to think she may have overstepped her boundaries with John. With a small sigh, she was about to tell him he didn't have to but stopped when he finally answered her. John wanted to come home with her, and Jennifer felt her body start to warm just at the thought.

"Of course I'm sure," she said against his lips. "I would have never asked if I wasn't."

Giving him a soft smile, Jennifer pulled back, and started to eat her cake. She was tempted to eat it as fast as she could, but didn't want John to think she was desperate. So, she took medium bites, and soon she was finished. Leaning over, she placed her plate in the basket before finishing off her glass of wine.

Once they were both finished, Jennifer blew out the candles, and allowed them to cool as she helped John clean up. She picked the blanket and folded it before putting it back in its hiding place. With a smile, she took John's hand and linked their fingers before walking with him back into the city.

When they got back to her quarters, Jennifer opened the door and walked in with John. She set her bag down before taking the basket, and setting it on the floor. She moved closer to John, and slipped her arms around him. "I'm glad you decided to come back with me. I've been wanting this for a very long time," she whispered before she leaned up to deeply kiss him.

John nodded, feeling the knot in his stomach tie a bit tighter. Part of him wanted to pull her up right then and there and take her back to her quarters. But he kept control of himself, finishing his cake and placing the plate in the basket.

Once they were done, he made sure everything was cleared and placed in the basket, and when Jennifer was ready, he took her hand, letting her led him to her quarters. After the door was closed, he set the basket next to her bag on the floor and then wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. The moment he did, he felt himself starting to warm and become aroused.

He became even moreso when she started to kiss him.

"I'm glad I came back too," he murmured against her lips.

Running his hand up, he pulled the holder keeping her hair back in a ponytail out, letting her hair fall down over her shoulders. While he tangled his fingers in her hair, his other hand caressed over her to the neckline of her sundress and up to the straps, which he pushed down over her shoulders.

The more John touched her, the more Jennifer wanted him. She could feel herself throbbing as he ran his hand over her neck. As her hair fell over her shoulders, she groaned, and pressed against him. And even though she loved having him kiss her, Jennifer needed more.

Breaking the kiss, she stepped back and pulled his shirt over his head. She smiled at him, and let out a content sigh as she ran her fingers over his chest, and up to the tops of his shoulders. His skin was so warm, and she wanted to feel it against hers.

Jennifer pulled her hands away from him, and started to work on getting her dress off. She reached behind her and unsnapped the back, and allowed it to fall off her body. All she had on under it was a pair of panties, and nothing else. Looking at him, she smiled before stepped forward again, and pressed her body against him.

"I think we should go to my bedroom," she whispered before softly kissing him.

Pulling away, she reached down and took John's hand. When they got to her room, she turned to him and started to slowly undo his pants.

John lifted his arms up when Jen pulled his shirt off, shivering a bit as the cool air in her quarters hit his skin. It was one of the things about living on a city in the middle of an ocean. But it made him feel even warmer when she touched him before letting her dress fall to the floor.

"God, Jen," he breathed, staring at her in appreciation before closing his eyes for a moment and wrapping his arms around her once she pressed up to him. Her skin felt so good against his, and all he wanted was to feel all of her against him. Against him and around him.

So when she pulled him into her bedroom, he went along willingly. He couldn't remember wanting someone so much in his life, and the feeling only grew when she started to undo his pants. As her fingers worked the zipper, he ran his hands up over her stomach to her breasts, where he gently swiped his fingers across her nipples, watching as they started to pebble while his cock hardened in response.

After kissing her deeply for a few moments, he began trailing his lips down her jawline to her collarbone before dipping lower to run his tongue around one nipple.

Jennifer could feel her skin warm with a flush as John ran her hands up her body. She shuddered when he touched her sensitiv nipples, and with shaky hands she continued to undo his pants. When she finally got the zipper down, she returned his kiss while pushing his pants and boxers down. Once they were out of the way, she started to slowly ran her fingers over the shaft of his cock.

"God, John," she groaned when he started to tongue her nipple. Reaching up, she tangled one hand in his hair, while she started to stroke him with the other.

She knew what she wanted - what she had always wanted with John, and Jennifer didn't think she could hold out much longer. Her entire body was responding to everything he was doing. Pulling away from him, she gently nudged him toward the bed until he was sitting on the edge of it. She reached down and pushed her panties off, and kicked them side.

Jennifer moved forward and straddled John's lap. "I'm glad you're in my life, John," she told him as she ran her fingers through his hair. She shifted closer to him, and ran her wetness over the tip of his cock. "And don't worry...I'm safe. It's...I'll explain Nagual reproduction to you later."

She pressed herself on his cock, groaning as pushed down on it. "God, you feel perfect," Jennifer groaned when he was all the way in her. She then looked at him and started to slowly move on him as she captured her lips for a deep kiss.

John released Jen's breast and looked up at her when she pulled away and started to push him. A moment later, he felt the back of his knees hit the bed, so he sat down, watching as Jennifer slipped out of her panties.

God, he thought. This was really happening.

When she straddled his lap, he groaned, his hips pressing forward a bit as he ran his hands up her sides. "I'm glad you are too," he told her before letting out a hiss as she pressed her warmth against her. He opened his mouth to ask about condoms, but when she told him she was okay, he found himself barely recalling something he had read about Naguals during one of his teams investigations.

However, before he could remember exactly what it was, Jen was pushed down onto him, and all thoughts except for her flew away. "Oh, God, Jen," he moaned.

He had never been in anyone before without a condom, and it was probably the most intense feeling he'd ever experienced. She was so warm and so tight. When she started to move on him, he felt the knot of pleasure in his stomach start to build, moving down into his groin. Taking hold of her hips, he lifted his hips up to meet each of her thrusts, slowly speeding them up.

Breaking their kiss, he leaned back slightly to look into her eyes. Running his hand down her front, he slid it between them, finding her clit and rubbing it as he continued to press his cock inside her.

Jennifer had been with a few people before but none of them compared to John. There was something different about having him inside her. He filled her perfectly, and knew actually how to move inside of her. Being with John was the most intense thing she had ever felt, and she wanted the experience to last for as long as it could.

However, when John started to rub her clit, Jennifer felt herself start falling toward the edge. She wanted to fight it, and hang on for longer but she couldn't. "John," she groaned as she arched her back and pushed down harder. She gripped his shoulders, and dug her fingers into them. "Gods...so close..."

Suddenly, Jennifer started to flutter and she pushed down on him even harder. Everything inside her exploded and she cried out John's name as she came around his cock. She fell forward a bit, and laid her forehead against the crook of his shoulder. Jennifer took several deep breaths as she slowly settled.

Lifting her head, she looked at John and smiled. Everything she felt for him seemed to be magnified at that very moment, and she heard herself talking before she could stop herself. "I love you," she whispered, her face flushed. "I have for a long time now."

As John continued to rub Jen's clit, he felt her starting to tighten around him. At the same time, the pleasure that was burning inside him was starting to radiate out through his limbs, and he knew that the moment she came apart, he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. Especially when she started pressing down harder and faster.

"It's okay," he told her. "It's...Jen!"

Just then, she started spasming around him, and as she did, John rocked back slightly with a strangled cry as he came inside her as well. Sliding his arms around him, he held her tightly, his fingers tangling in her hair again.

God. That had been amazing.

When she moved back to look at her, John looked into her eyes, feeling his heart start to pound in his ears when she said that she loved him. "Jen," he said, pulling her closer and resting his forehead to hers, "I...I love you too. I think everyone in the pit knows I do. And I should have said something long before this."

Tilting his head, he started to kiss her again.

Jennifer wasn't sure how John was going to respond to her confession. When he said he loved her too, she grinned and wrapped her arms around him. "It's all right, John," she whispered. "Better now than never, right?" She shook her head and softly nuzzled his neck. "I think almost everyone in the city knows how I feel about you. I'm surprised no one told you before."

Pulling back a little, she tilted her head and stared at him. She leaned forward and deeply kissed him for several moments before pulling back. She wanted to stay like this with him for the rest of the night but she knew the both of them needed to get some sleep. Poseidon didn't slow just because two people wanted to be together.

Jennifer slipped off his lap and went to the bathroom. She grabbed some towels and wetted a couple washcloths before bringing them back out. She cleaned the both of them and got into the bed. Jennifer pulled John down beside her and cuddled close.

"When month end reports are finished, we should sneak off for a whole day, and night. We can go to Neo and I can show you where the best place to skinny dip is," she said with a wink. She kissed his cheek and pulled the sheet over them. "I know I just said it but...I love you so much, John."

John shuddered a bit when Jen slipped off him. Staying insider her for the rest of the night would have been wonderful, but he knew that wouldn't have worked in the position they were in. Plus, both of them did have their duties to go back to in the morning.

Once they were cleaned up, however, Jen pulled him down onto the bed with her, making it obvious that she wanted him to stay there with her. Not that he minded at all. He liked the idea of going to bed with her in his arms and waking up with her in the morning, especially considering how long he had wanted this to happen between them.

He really had been a dope for not asking her long before this.

Chuckling when she talked about them sneaking off after the reports were filed, John pulled her closer. "Going to Neo with you sounds great. Especially the skinny dipping part," he told her. "Hopefully, they won't miss us while we're gone."

He smiled at her. "I love you too, Jen. I'm glad we're finally here. Together."

Jennifer was glad when John didn't make a move to leave. Truth be told, she wanted to fall asleep and wake up with him every day for the rest of their lives. She didn't tell him that, though, figuring she would let it happen naturally. All she really cared about at the moment was being in John's arms. Snorting, she raised her eyebrows and looked up at him. "Figured you'd like the idea of skinny dipping," she said with an amused look.

Snuggling even closer, she let out a content sigh. "I'm glad, too, John," she softly said as her eyes fluttered shut.

The next thing Jennifer knew, she was waking up to the morning sun. It felt nice to still be in John's arms, and she didn't dare make a move at first. She wanted to enjoy the moment for as long as she could before they had to go their separate ways for the day. Finally, after a few moments, she shifted in John's arms and leaned up to softly kiss him.

"Morning," she murmured against his lips. Pulling back a little, she looked at him. "Think anyone would notice if the both of us took the day off?"

She knew they really couldn't but it was still a lovely thought.

"I'm a guy with the most beautiful girlfriend in the universe," John told Jen with a soft snort. "Of course, I'm going to like the idea of skinny dipping."

He held her close as she fell asleep, and for a bit, he found himself lying there, wide awake, almost unable to believe that this had finally happened between them. Part of him was almost afraid that if he did fall asleep, he'd wake up in the morning to find it was just a dream.

Finally, though, he couldn't stay awake any longer, and his eyes slid shut.

The next morning, he woke up when he felt Jen moving his arms, followed by her kissing him. Smiling, he opened his eyes to look at her. No dream.

"Morning," he murmured, reaching up to ran his fingers through her hair. When she asked if anyone would notice if they played hooky, he sighed, wishing they could because he really would have liked just to spend the day with her. "Unfortunately, I think Gibbs would. I have to start follow-ups on the investigation you did the translation for, and I don't think Tim and Allie would like me dumping it on them."

He raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. "But I definitely want to play hooky after all this is done."

Jennifer's lips formed a slight pout when John confirmed they couldn't play hooky for the day. She knew they couldn't but it still made her sad knowing they were going to spend the day apart. It was silly, especially since John and her spent a lot of time apart due to their work. Before all of this had happened, she only saw him a few hours each day. "Suppose you're right," she said, sticking her tongue out in disgust. "But you, if you aren't busy this--."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jennifer's headset beeped, and she let out a sigh. She really didn't want to answer it but knew she had to. Reaching over John, she picked it up off the bedside table and put it on. It was her assistant Mika, and Jennifer found herself rolling her eyes and pouting some more.

When the call was finished, she took her headset out, and looked at John. "Mika messed up the book shipment that came in last night and ended up grabbing the wrong crates. The library now has Olive's pie supplies, and Olive has our books. Mika is all confused now. I love the girl, and she's family, but sometimes..." Jennifer trailed off and shook her head.

She leaned down again and softly kissed John's lips. "But I'll make it up to you. Come by my office after lunch. There's this really nifty spot in the library we can hide in," she said with a grin before she slipped out of bed and started to gather her clothes.

John snorted softly at Jen when she pouted. He had always thought she was adorable when she did, and he honestly understood how she felt, but they had their responsibilities. Especially John himself since his team was in the middle of an investigation.

He had a feeling he knew what she was going to ask, but before she could finish, she got her call on her headset, so John looked over at the time. He'd probably have just enough to run back to his quarters to shower and change before he had to be at the TISCI pit. And from the sound of Jen's side of the conversation, it looked like she was going to have to be going too.

He raised his eyebrows when she told him what had happened before shaking his head. "I can just imagine what that was like - trying to shelve the pie ingredients," he said with a laugh. "Believe me, Jen. It's fine."

Grinning, he reached up cupped her face as they kissed before he sat up once she had got out bed. "And a good hiding place, hmmm? Sounds like you know all the good places on Poseidon. I think I've definitely fallen in love with the right girl."

Once he had gotten his clothes together and dressed, he kissed Jen again. "I love you. I'll see you around lunch time," he told her before squeezing her hand and leaving to head back to his quarters so he could get ready for duty.

"I love you, too, John. I'll see you later," Jennifer said before she kissed him goodbye.

After showering, and putting on her Poseidon uniform, Jennifer went down to the library, where Mika was waiting. She didn't say a lot to the other girl. Instead, she electronically signed the correction document and had Mika come with her to Olive's pie shop. When they walked in, Olive was humming to herself as she made a pot of coffee.

"Oh! Thank goodness. Was beginning to think I was going to have to serve book pie to my customers today," she said with a grin as she took the tablet from Jennifer and signed the document too.

"Sorry about the mix up," Jennifer said as Mika ducked her head, and quickly left with the crates of books.

"No biggie," Olive said as she eyed Jennifer. "How was your date with John? You look like a girl, who's in love with the most wonderful man in the universe."

Jennifer blushed and ducked her head. "Word sure spreads fast around here. Was it Laura or Evan who told you?" she asked.

"It was Tim, actually. Laura and him had a bet on when the two of you would finally get together. My Timmy won," Olive happily said.

"I..see," Jennifer said as she raised her eyebrows. "Well, I should probably get back to my office."

After saying goodbye to Olive, Jennifer left but didn't go toward the library. Instead, she went to the pit and marched over to Tim's desk, where she slapped him on the back of the head.

"Hey! What was that for?" he asked as Allie snickered.

"Olive told me about Laura and you," Jennifer said as she crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes a bit.

"You cheated on Olive with Laura?" Allie asked as she peeked around her computer.

"What? No!" Tim protested. "We just had a bet about when John and Jennifer would finally get together!"

Allie's eyebrows shot up and she slipped behind her computer again. "It was nice knowing ya, McGee," she quietly muttered.

When John got to the pit after taking his shower and getting dressed, he found Allie already there, working on her computer. "Morning," he said, taking a sip of the coffee he had got on the way in. "Tim here yet?"

She shook her head. "He called - said he'd be here shortly after he helped Olive with a few things at her shop." She looked around her computer screen. "He said he set you a few things you might want to review once you got in."

Nodding, he sat down and logged into his terminal, pulling up his e-mail and find what Tim had set him. As he read over his report on the video, he furrowed his brow. Based on a comparison of the writing found on the wall at the outpost to the handwriting of the staff, one of them had written on wall? Looking up, he saw Tim coming down the steps.

"Hey, Tim..." He trailed off when he saw the grin on the other man's face. "What?"

"Nothing."

Shaking his head, John spoke to Tim about what he had found before looking back over what Jennifer had translated. It looked like their best bet was that temple. So he headed up to talk to Gibbs about scheduling a visit to the planet where it was located.

When he returned, he found Jen standing next to Tim as he rubbed the back of his head. "Hey...what's going on?" he asked. Gibbs was back in his office, so certainly, he hadn't slapped Tim across the back of his head. "Did something happen?"
