He had no idea why Daniel had requested to stop at the store on the way home. They had ample groceries at the house. There was enough of the other kind of supplies as well. And when he stopped the Jeep at the store, Daniel had insisted on running in on his own. He came back a few minutes later with a big grin on his face, and a plastic grocery bag full of something he wouldn't show Jack.

'Okay', thought Jack. 'This should be interesting.'

They got to the house, and Daniel hurried up stairs with a laugh. Jack went into the kitchen and started dinner. Tonight they had agreed on chicken alfredo, cauliflower, asparagus (Daniel always had to have two vegetables). Dessert would be finishing off the apple pie that Cassie had baked for them. Jack had been hesitant at first,
but had quickly discovered that Cassie was an excellent baker.

Daniel came back down and finished helping with dinner. Afterwards, they took the slices of apple pie into the living room and watched a movie on Showtime. By ten o'clock, Jack was ready for bed. Daniel waved him off, taking the dishes into the kitchen and starting the dishwasher. Jack went upstairs, stripped and took a shower. He had made a quick search of the bedroom, but did not find Daniel's stash of whatever.

When Jack came out of the bedroom, he found the bed covers turned down. The stereo was on, and the ocean relaxation cd was playing. It was the only one that Janet had given them that Jack could stand. He stretched out on the bed, wondering where his space monkey had gone. He didn't have to wait long when Daniel came into the bedroom with a beer.

"Drink this, relax, and I'll be done in a few." Daniel leaned down and gave him a long, slow kiss. Then he disappeared into the bathroom. It took Jack a moment to catch his breath, and then he leaned up against the pillows and sipped his beer.

Daniel emerged scrubbed and slightly damp and very pink in places. Jack leered, saluting his lover's body with his half empty bottle of beer. Daniel laughed, flicked off the overhead light, and flounced down onto the bed beside Jack. He took the bottle, and drained the last of the beer in one gulp.

"You gonna tell me what you bought at the store tonight?" Jack asked him, stroking a muscular, velvety thigh.

"No." Daniel grinned, belched, and giggled. A giggly Daniel -a naked giggly Daniel- is a sight to behold.
One moment Daniel was sitting up facing Jack and giggling, and the next minute he found himself under Jack being ravished by kisses. He belched again in Jack's ear, and would have dissolved into giggles again except for the hand on his very alert cock. "Whoa."

"Whoa?" Jack leaned back, staring down at Daniel. "Whoa as in stop?"

"Whoa as in 'ohmygodIvediedandgonetoheaven.' whoa." He smiled up at Jack, his blue eyes going warm and dark with lust. He stroked a hand down Jack's semi-furry chest. "All day, in the back of my mind, I think of this. I wish sometimes-"

Jack laid two fingers over his lips. "You know what I wish? I wish I'd come to my senses sooner. I wish I could take away all the pain I caused you. I wish that we didn't have to worry about keeping this-" his hand on Daniel's cock moved and Daniel shivered, "a secret. I love you, Daniel. I know I don't say it often, I don't think I'll ever say it enough."

"You don't have to say it. I know it." He touched a finger to his forehead, "Here," and then to his chest, "and here."

Their lips met again, still as passionate as before but more reverence this time. Jack's hands wandered over Daniel's body as if mapping every curve and angle. His lips finally left Daniel's, and he began to blaze a path down the magnificent body of his mate.

Daniel's head rolled back and forth on the pillow when Jack's tongue rimmed his navel. It was one of his most sensitive places. "I'm su-su-supposed...to-to...be do-doing... you!" He practically shouted the last word as Jack's traveling mouth met his target location. Daniel's hips arched off the bed.

Just before it got too much and Daniel came, Jack pulled back. Hands braced on the mattress on either side of Daniel's hips. He grinned down at his wriggling lover.

"Wanna tell me what you bought now?" He asked with a leer.

"Bought?" Daniel groaned.

"At the store, on the way home, tonight." Jack supplied the information.

"Skittles! Now finish me!" Daniel shouted, eyes clenched shut and his body shaking.

So Jack did.

A while later, as Daniel floated back down to reality and to Jack's arms, he whacked Jack lightly.

"What was that for?" Jack pretended it hurt more than it did.

"Torturing the information out of me, colonel." Daniel grumbled. "I wanted to surprise you."

"It is a surprise. What the heck did you get Skittles for?" Jack kissed the top of his head.

"Give me a few, and then I'll show you." Daniel sighed happily. He could never stay angry with Jack for long.

"Is this going to be kinky?"

"Maybe." Daniel laughed. "Maybe not."

Jack started to shift Daniel over onto his side, but he laid a hand on Jack's chest to stop him.

"Trust me, Jack?" He asked, a gentle smile on his face but his eyes were sparkling.

"As insane as this may seem," Jack sighed, "yeah, Daniel, I do."

"Then roll over onto your tummy like a good boy." Daniel sat up, patting Jack abdomen. Jack gave him a look, but then obediently turned over onto his stomach. Once he was settled, Daniel reached under the bed and retrieved his stashed Skittles, two bags worth poured into a plastic bowl.

He was very quiet as he artistically arranged Skittles down Jack's back. This wasn't any kind of Skittles. These were Wild Berry flavor, his favorite. He alternated the colors to his satisfaction. Satisfied finally, he set the bowl aside, leaned over Jack and started eating his way down Jack's spine. Half way down, Jack trembled slightly. Skittles scattered everywhere!

"No! No!" Daniel cried out in dismay. "You must stay still!"

"It tickles!" Jack cried back, hands clenched into fists. "Yer tryin' to kill me!"

One particular purple Skittle rolled down Jack's butt, and to disappear down the crevice between his legs. "Oops."

"What do you mean 'oops'?" Jack asked, raising his head.

Daniel scooted down Jack's body, carefully urging the muscular thighs apart. "Nothing, really." He laughed, seeing where the purple piece of fruit flavored candy had landed. "Nothing that can't be remedied."

Daniel's mouth pressed up against the sensitive flesh and retrieved the wayward Skittle. "Mmmm." He murmured, chewing on the fruit flavored candy. "I love Skittles. I love your body."

"My body loves your body." Jack spoke through clenched teeth. "My body wants to show you how much it loves your body."

"Yeah, yeah, flyboy." Daniel chuckled, lightly slapping Jack's bare butt. "Okay, roll back over. Let's see if I can do better on your front side."

Jack moved onto his back, his legs wide and place on either side of Daniel. He held his aggrieved and weeping extremity and waved it at Daniel. "I need attention down here."

Daniel arched an eyebrow. He captured a Skittle from the bed sheet, and balanced it neatly on the tip of Jack's cock. His grin at Jack was searing, and Jack drew in a deep breath. Daniel's mouth came down and sucked the Skittle and Jack's cock in together. Jack didn't think he would ever think of Skittles the same way again.

Ever ever.
