Friday Night Fic Challenge #3 –

Linguist in leather?  Colonel in crisis!




The first symptom was losing the ability to talk.  Speechless.  Utterly.  Me!

The second was a definite increase in my usually sedate pulse.  I’m Black Ops trained, for heaven’s sake!  There I was, standing absolutely still with my heart was like a hammer in my chest.

The Third.  Sweaty palms.  I’d always believe that was an expression, a metaphor of some kind.  When you spend your life with a gun in your hands, you don’t get sweaty palms.  But at that moment I wouldn’t have dared pick up my trusted P-90 for fear of dropping it.

Next, finally, thank god, was apparently the look on my face.  ‘Mouth open, tongue hanging out, gagging for it,’ Carter had told me later.  ‘Stunned by the sight of DanielJackson,’ Teal’c had been kinder.

Not just by the sight of DanielJackson.  But of Daniel – my Daniel, my innocent, sweet archaeologist with that lopsided smile, those big blue eyes so wide with the excitement of exploration – Dr Daniel Jackson, wearing leather.

He was more a pressed trousers and plaid shirt man.  Later, jeans and a warm, hooded top that he seemed to wear whenever he wasn’t in his planet-side blues or off-world greens.

Not leather.  Not like this.  He’d once borrowed my leather jacket and I’d admired him in it.

Nothing like this.

His shirt was a dark brown leather which clung to his chest where he had the fastenings done up.  Where he didn’t, his smooth skin glistened with sweat.  I wanted to go to him and lick that moisture off him with long laps of my tongue. 

The shirt looked to be of a soft leather, soft to the touch, moulded to him so that his slim yet now muscular body would ripple under my fingers if I ran my hands down his arms, over his chest.

The first and last two fastenings of the shirt were undone.  He wore it over skin-tight black leather trousers.

I mean skin-tight.  He didn’t pull those on, they were stitched up around him.  Where the bottom of his shirt fell open on his hips, the black leather hugged the bulge at his groin.

My hand ached to do the same.

I raked my gaze down those long legs - muscular thighs that I imagined wrapped around my waist - all the way down to narrow, bare feet.

I’d never had the urge to suck on toes before.

Panic was setting in.  My heart was beating faster, and I was glad for the one-size-too-big shirt I’d thrown on after my shower.

The mere sight of my friend dressed like that made me hard enough, but the ideas going through my mind were making me so hot my skin was prickling under my clothes.

Raising his eyebrows once, he smiled.  Then turned.

My hands reached out of their own accord.  I swear!

I’d never been jealous of pants before.

The leather hugged his tight, firm butt like I’d been fantasising about doing for months. 

I was staring, I knew, but I couldn’t stop!  Why the hell was he dressed like this?  Who was he anyway?  Not my Daniel, that was for sure.  My Daniel wouldn’t ever even consider… he wouldn’t even own clothes like that!

Heart racing faster, I tried to speak, although I had no idea what I was going to say.  Thirty seconds later I still had no idea.

“Jack?”

I think I squeaked.

He smiled again, looking at me over his shoulder.  “Coming?”

“Any minute now….”
