Summary: No plot or anything, just some smut that I felt like writing

was bored. I wrote this one before “One Wild Night”, but I just found 
it so I’m 
just putting ti in now.

Falls Church, Virginia

"Knock, Knock!" Harm leaned against the doorframe with his flyboy smile 
flat 
across his face.

"Hey flyboy, whats up?" Mac looked up, from her heavy caseload, to see 
her 
favorite aviator standing in her doorway. She tilted her head back and 
moaned 
from a still neck.

Harm walked inside, closed the door, and shut the blinds. "Whats wrong 
honey?" 

"This caseload is just too much!" She complained.

"Oh really?" He started walking around the back of her and gently 
massaged her 
shoulders.

"Yes really!" 

He bent down to her ear and spoke softly, "I thought my marine was 
invincible. 
I thought she was strong and nothing could bring her down." 

Mac giggled from his breath against her ear. "I am invincible, tough, 
and 
strong, but just not when I have a caseload like this..." He started 
kissing 
her neck and she immediately stuttered from the touch of his lips. "... 
And ...and when you're doing that, it's hard to concentrate." 

"Oh I'm sorry, am I distracting you?" He said seductively and wrapped 
his arms 
loosely around her neck and leaned his chin on her shoulder.

"Okay, I'm taking a break!" Mac closed her folder and put her pen back 
in the 
cup on her desk. 

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"No sweetheart, I'm starving!"

"Well, then lets go feed my hungry marine, shall we?" He said as he 
offered his 
hand to help her up.

Harm's apartment
"Sweetie, I'm home!"

Mac came running from the bathroom, "It's about time!" She teased. "I'm 
starved!" 

"Why does that not surprise me?" He teased. "I do still have to make it 
yet." 
He added and kissed her on the lips. "Did you put the water on to 
boil?" 

"Way ahead of ya slow poke."

She followed him to the counter. He put the stuff down and looked at 
the table. 
It was set for two with three candles in the middle. "Well aren't you 
the 
romantic one?" He took her in his arms and kissed her.

"Only with you...sexy!" She added seductively and he grinned at her.

"You just think you're all that, don't you?" 

"Because I am." 

"Oh really?"

"Yes."

"Who's the one that gets weak in the knees and goes crazy from just a 
simple 
touch, smile, look, or kiss, from me?'

"Not me." Mac tried to act bold and brave, but inside she knew he was 
right.

"Yes you." 

"Oh yea, prove it." She knew she spoke too fast, when his lips covered 
hers in 
a sweet passionate kiss and her knees gave in. She lost herself in his 
kiss and 
the only thing holding her up was his strong arms around her. He pulled 
away 
and she looked into his dreamy blue eyes, "I guess I spoke too fast 
huh?"

"Yea I think you guess right."

He let her go and she walked over to the counter and helped herself 
onto 
it. "What's in the bag, flyboy?" 

He poked her stomach and she giggled, taking her hand away, as he took 
the bag. 

"That's for after dinner, princess." He faked a stern face. 

He poured the macaroni into the pot and stirred it with the big spoon. 
He 
walked back over to her. She tried grabbing for the bag, but he walked 
in front 
of her, took her hands, and pretended to tie them in a knot. "I told 
you after 
dinner, miss impatient." He scolded playfully. 

"But I want to see now!" She whined. 

"You have to wait."

"But I don't like waiting."

"Well, that’s just too bad!" He laughed as Mac tried to wrestle her 
hands out 
of his. Once she got them out of his grasp, she entwined their fingers 
together 
and tried to wrestle his hands down, but he was too strong.

"Please can I see?" 

"No!" 

"Please?" 

“No.”

She moved her head a little closer to his and he did the same. 
"Please?"

"No!" They moved a little closer.

"Please?"

"No." A little closer.

Finally when he got close enough, he silenced her with a kiss. "PL..." 
Mac 
deepened the kiss just a little, and then they broke apart. They leaned 
their 
foreheads against each other's, "Please?" 

Harm shook his head and she giggled as her head went with his. Mac 
leaned 
forward and rested her head against his shoulder. He wrapped his arms 
around 
her slim waist and she slid off the counter, into his embrace. "Much 
more 
comfortable." she sighed. 

"Good. So do you want to watch a movie tonight?" 

"Sure. Do you want to rent one or do you have a one?" 

"Well, baby, I thought, since it's just a little cold out, we could 
snuggle on 
the couch and watch a romantic movie like, 'Never Been Kissed'."

"Now who's the romantic one?" She teased.

"I guess I am, sweetheart." He said cutely and kissed her. 

She put her arms between her chest and his and put her head under his 
chin. He 
cradled her back and forth gently. 

"Uh, Harm?" 

"What sweetie?" 

"I think our dinner is ready." 

"Uh yea, I kinda think you're right." He let go of her and went to 
taste them. 
He took them out, drained them, put them into a bowl, and walked to the 
table, 
Mac following.

An hour later:

It was about 7:45 and Harm sat down to watch TV before they put their 
movie in. 
He got it all set up so all he would have to do is press the “play” 
button. Mac 
came out of the bathroom, dressed in her pajamas. Harm flicked through 
the 
channels and found an interesting movie. She walked out of the bedroom, 
“What 
are ya watching?” 

“I don’t know, some weird movie.” 

“Good, I hope you don’t mind if I change it then.” She picked up the 
remote and 
flicked it to the news. 

“Hey, bonehead, I was watching that!” He flicked it back to the movie 
but she 
quickly flicked it back to the news.

“I want to watch the news!” 

“But I want to watch the movie!” 

He grabbed the remote but Mac went with it onto his lap. He tried to 
wrestle it 
out of her hand, but she pulled it. “Give me the remote!” 

“Never!” She laughed.

Then an idea came to his head. He pulled for the remote one last time 
and she 
didn’t let go. He poked her side and she squeaked. She tried to grab 
his hand, 
but he poked her side again and she squeaked again. “Stop it!” She 
still 
wouldn’t let go, so he tickled her, and she immediately let go of it. 
“Stop…
please stop!” She begged as she laughed. She tried to block his hand, 
but 
because she was weak with laughter, he was stronger. 

“So the ‘oh so strong colonel’ is ticklish huh? I guess the big bad 
marine 
isn’t as tough as she thinks she is, is she?” Mac just kept laughing as 
he 
tickled her. “Ya give up, jarhead?” 

“Yes! Yes…I do!” He stopped and she lay there on his lap.

"I didn't know you were ticklish, baby." 

"Don't get any ideas!" She pointed a finger at him and warned him 
playfully. He 
put a devious grin on his face and pretended to eat her finger.

"Oh don't worry, honey, I won't do anything." He reassured her. 
Harm moved to the edge of the couch and rested Mac comfortably in his 
lap. "Are 
you comfortable, sweetie?" 

"Yes." She laid her head comfortably against his chest and he wrapped 
his arms 
around her. Harm hit 'play' on the remote and the movie started.

A few hours later, the movie ended and Mac was peacefully asleep in his 
arms. 
He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He set her down on the 
bed and 
carefully pulled down the sheets. He gently picked her up and laid her 
under 
the sheets. He got in and pulled the sheets up. She stirred quietly as 
he 
pulled her close to him. She laid her forehead in the crock of his 
neck.

"Good-night, Sarah. I love you." He whispered into her ear.

"Good-night, Harm. I love you too." Mac said quiet and tired, but it 
made Harm 
smile. He too, fell asleep quickly.

0730 Zulu
Harm's apartment

Mac woke to Harm tracing designs on her back. She turned her head 
slightly to 
look at him. He began to pull his hand away, but Mac stopped him. 
"Don't stop, 
it felt good." Harm continued. He traced weird patterns as he moved his 
fingers 
all over her back, but she giggled when he traced his finger down the 
back of 
her side. He slipped his arm around her and pulled her close. 

"Did that tickle?" Harm asked as he whispered in her ear.

"A little. Hey, I never finished watching the movie last night."

"You didn't miss much."

"Are you kidding, flyboy? I missed the best part!"

"And what do you think was the best part?" He challenged.

"Well, that's an easy one...When they kiss."

"Well, we can finish the movie if you want, but only we can be the 
characters."

"Oh, I like the sound of that." She said excitedly.

She rolled over so she was on top of him and kissed him. They deepened 
it and 
it lasted for a couple minutes. They pull away and smile, "That must 
have been 
one hell of an ending." 

"Oh it defiantly was." 

"Oh shoot! We have to go to the admirals thing today."

“What thing?” He teased. 

“Oh you know exactly what I’m talking about, flyboy.”

“No I don’t!”

“Yes you do, don’t lie.” 

“No I don’t!” 

“Yes you do!” She hit him in the side of the head with the pillow. He 
raised 
his eyebrows and swung a pillow at her. It turned into a total war and 
when 
they were done, Mac ended up in his arms, lying next to him.

“Can’t we just stay in this bed all day and sleep?” 

”As much as I would love to, we have to go, come on!” She tried to get 
up, but 
he kept her firm in his arms. “Come on, I want coffee and we have to 
get 
ready.” 

“Do we have to?”  He asked as he began to kiss her neck.

“You’re making this hard, you know that? No, we don’t have to go, but 
I’m sure 
the admiral will hate us if we don’t.”

“I know, I just don’t feel like getting up right now.” He whispered as 
he 
continued kissing her. He kissed her just below her ear and she 
squeaked. He 
stopped and grinned at her, “What was that for?” 

“My ear is very sensitive!” She giggled.

“That wasn’t your ear, that was below your ear.” 

“Well, my skin is sensitive there too.”

“Oh okay!” He teased.

“Come on! Let’s go, baby”

“Oh alright! If you insist.”

Mac suddenly got an idea to get him up and out of bed faster. “I get 
the shower 
first!” She yelled as she quickly jumped out of bed.

“No I do!” 

They both fumbled toward the bathroom, trying to get in front of each 
other. 
Finally they got to the door and she spread her arms and legs out, 
blocking it. 
He tried to sneak a move, but she blocked him. “You are so dead if you 
don’t 
let me pass.”

“You have to get through me first!”

“Oh I think that can be arranged!” He grinned.

“Oh really? And what do you plan on doing, flyboy?” 

“Oh, just this!”  He grabbed Mac around the waist and began tickling 
her again. 
Mac tried to break free, but her knees gave in and she sank to the 
floor, as 
she tried to push away Harms fingers.

“Harm please…”

“Please what? Please stop?” 

“Yes…Please…Stop!”

“Can I go in the shower first?”

“Yes…Yes…You can! Just…Please stop…can’t breathe!” He stopped and 
leaned over 
her.

“Well, I kinda think I found a disadvantage!”

“And what would that be?”

“I’m ticklish and you know about it.”

“Oh sweetie, I won’t do anything that you’d hate me for!” He teased.

Mac put a devilish look on her face, “That’s okay, you have no idea who 
you’re 
dealing with!” 

“Don’t you go getting any ideas now.” He grinned.

She grinned back and giggled, “Don’t worry, I will!” 

“I’m warning you!”  Harm said playfully.

“Oh and what are you gonna do to stop me?” 

“Oh I think I can come up with…something.” He said softly as he covered 
her 
lips with his. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened it. 
Harm broke 
away and Mac whimpered. “How about I take a shower and then we can 
finish this 
little “session” after, okay?” Harm made a quoting sign with his 
fingers and 
Mac giggled again. “What? Did you think that was funny?” Mac nodded. 
“You’re 
cute marine!” 

“I know, now go in the shower before I kiss you to death!” 

“Is that a threat, major?”

”You bet, commander, now go!” 

”Aye-Aye, ma`am.” He flashed his melting smile, “Love you!”

“Love you too!”

Mac got up once he went into the bathroom, and went to the bedside 
table. She 
picked up her book and snuggled into Harms’ side of the bed and opened 
it. She 
heard Harm finish a short time later. He walked out of the bathroom and 
walked 
up to her. 

“Hey sweetie, whatcha reading?”

“Just a book I bought, why? Do you want me to read to you, sailor?” She 
teased.

“Oh I would love for you to read to me, baby, but I’m hungry. So what 
do you 
say I make you breakfast?”

She put her book back on the bedside table, “I would love that.”  

He scooped her up and carried her out to the kitchen.

“What do you want me to make?” 

”How about an omelet? With sausage and cheese.” 

“One sausage and cheese omelet coming right up.” 

“Thank you, flyboy.”

“You’re welcome, baby. Now, why don’t you go take a shower, Ninja 
girl?” He 
patted her butt and she marched to the bedroom to take a shower.

In fifteen minutes, Mac walked back into the kitchen, feeling refreshed 
and 
clean, and the smell of bacon. "Bacon?! Impressive flyboy!" 

"I always go out of my way for you, honey." They gave each other a 
quick kiss 
and a tight hug.

Later that morning:
Mac was in the bedroom, getting ready for the admirals party and Harm 
comes in. 
He walks up to her and envelopes her in his arms. They stood there and 
looked 
at themselves in the mirror.

"We look so perfect together!" Harm smiled.

"I know baby! Right now, my life is perfect." She grazed him with a 
sweet smile 
and snuggled into him more as he kissed her cheek. 

"And how is it perfect?" 

"Well, I'm with the man I love more than life itself, I have an 
excellent 
career, and I have..."

"...50 pairs of shoes." He teased as he finished her sentence. 

"Hey they're comfortable!" She defended herself playfully.

"Yea I have to say my life is also perfect!" He flashed her his flyboy 
smile 
and she felt her knees weaken, as she knew what he was going to say.

"Oh really? And how is that?" She grinned.

"Same reasons you said, beautiful." He kissed her head and she smiled.

"Well, I would love to just stand here in your arms, but we have a 
party to 
attend so, we better finish getting ready!" 

"Okay, okay!" He teased. He kissed her on the lips and he let her go. 

"Don't worry, flyboy. If the admiral has dancing, which I'm sure he 
will, we 
will dance together. Then you can hold me in your arms. As a matter a 
fact, I 
better be in your arms the whole time, or I might cry!" She teased the 
last 
part. 

He walked over to her and played along. He kissed her face, under her 
eyes, and 
whispered, "Don't worry, I'll kissed the tears away." He smiled a sweet 
smile.

Even though they were just playing, the words that Harm just spoke 
brought 
tears to her eyes and she let them fall. 

"Hey I was just playing along with you, sweetheart. I didn't mean to 
actually 
make you cry." He caressed her face.

"Those were the sweetest words anyone has ever said to me." She 
sniffled. Harm 
didn't say anything just lowered his lips to hers and covered them in a 
soft 
sweet kiss. Mac had never felt this feeling before. He was the only one 
who 
could make her feel this way. The electricity rushed through her and 
she felt 
her knees go weak. She wrapped her arms around his neck and she 
deepened the 
kiss. He felt her leaning on him and tightened his hold on her. They 
broke away 
after a few minutes, breathless. "I think that was the best kiss we 
ever had." 
She giggled, only he could make her do that.

"I like it when you giggle." He smiled. 

"And why is that?" She challenged.

"Because you're cute when you giggle."

"Oh you think so huh?" She placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Well, 
you're cute 
when you smile that knee-melting smile of yours." 

"Oh really? My smile makes you weak-kneed huh?" He flashed his smile 
and she 
smiled.

"Yea and what are you going to do about it?" She challenged again.

"Use it more often." He grinned and she laughed.

Chegwidden Residence
MacLean, VA

Mac walked back out to the table in the backyard where Harriet was 
sitting. "Here's your drink, Harriet."

"Thank you, Mac."

"You're welcome."

"This is some party that the admiral decided to have, isn't it?"

"Yea, I'm surprised he did this, just for the Forth of July. By the way 
where 
is Bud?"

"He went to 'play' with little A.J. Where is Harm?"

"He said he was going to take a dip in the pool."

"Well it looks like he's doing a little more than that, look." Harriet 
pointed 
to Harm with a few girls. It looked like Harm was flirting, but they 
couldn't 
quite make it out. Mac just stared at them for a couple seconds, before 
Harriet 
broke her thoughts, "Are you two really happy together?"

"Extremely!" Mac smiled. 

"Well, you better go get into your flyboy's arms before one of those 
girls do." 
Harriet laughed and Mac did too.

"Alright. Excuse me for a minute."

Mac walked over to the edge of the pool where Harm was standing, being 
careful 
not to disturb him. She walked up behind him and whispered in his ear, 
"Hey 
flyboy!" 

Harm turned his head and smiled, "Hi, baby come here." He took her 
hands and 
helped her into the pool and into his arms. "Girls, this is my 
sweetheart, Mac."

"Your sweetheart?" One of the girls repeated with a look on her face. 

"Yea, my sweetheart, my girlfriend." Harm said. 

"That’s not your girlfriend! You told us you didn't have a girlfriend!" 
The 
other girl lied.

Mac turned her face toward Harm and saw he looked confused, "I never 
said that 
and I would never lie like that, especially if Mac is my girlfriend."

"Yes you did. You told us before she came over here, don't remember." 
The girl 
said sweetly, hoping he would change his mind.

"You said that, Harm?" Mac looked at him, and she looked hurt.

"Mac I would never do that to you, and you know that. I've only known 
them for 
a few minutes. I've known you for much longer and you're going to 
believe them. 
You mean more to me than life it's self and you think I would lie to 
you?" He 
kissed her cheek. "I would never ever lie to you!" He would never lie 
to Mac, 
or anyone for that matter. 

Mac smiled, knowing that he would never do anything like that and 
snuggled more 
into his arms as she turned around.

"I think we're going to go. Good-bye you two!" The three girls said 
good-bye 
and left.

Mac turned around to look at him. "You would never lie to me, huh?"

"Of course not." He smiled. 

"Harm, whats my name and who am I to you?" She tried to act serious, 
but the 
teasing was in her voice. 

"Why are you asking me this?"

"Just answer the question." 

"Okay, fine. You're Sarah Mackenzie, and you're my girlfriend, which I 
love 
very much." 

"Good!"

"Why what was that for?"

"To make sure that those girls didn't hypnotize you."

"Oh you are sure going to get it for that!" He threatened and went to 
move his 
hand to tickle her side but Mac actually stopped him this time. 

"Don't you dare think about tickling me, or I'll, I'll..."

"You'll what major?"

"I'll never kiss you again!"

"Oh, like you'll be able to make that threat come true!"

"You don't believe me. Why not?" 

"Because you can't go a minute or two without kissing me."

"Oh really? I guess I'll have to try."

"Okay, go ahead." He still had her wrapped in his arms, but he stood 
there 
smiling. He knew she couldn’t go another second without kissing him and 
he was 
right.

"Okay, I give up!" She giggled and leaned toward and fused their mouths 
together. 

They broke away and Harm smiled, "Knew you couldn't go a minute without 
kissing 
me!" 

"Don't you know everything."

"Yes I do, when it comes to you." 

"No you don't!" She felt like flirting with him.

"Yes I do!" He smiled again.

"Na ah!" She laughed

"Yu huh!" He teased.

"Na ah!"

"Yu huh!" He had her dissolved in giggles and she couldn't stop. He 
tickled her 
side a couple times and she laughed even harder. He leaned down to her 
ear and 
whispered in her ear, "You're even ticklish in the water, too? I wonder 
where 
else you're ticklish, then!" He grinned and Mac playfully hit his arm.

"You're terrible, you know that!?" She tried to calm herself down.

"Oh I am, am I?" He teased, "But that just makes you more attracted to 
me!"

"Oh yea, how do you know that?" She challenged.

"Because whenever I do something, you always end up kissing me in then 
end." He 
pointed out. 

"That’s just because you're cute and I can't resist!"

"Oh so when I joke around, it's not really funny, you're just laughing 
because 
I'm cute?" He played with her. 

"I never said that." 

"Well, it sure sounded like that." He playfully pouted. 

"I'm sorry if it did!" She played along with him. "How can I make it up 
to you?"

"By giving me a kiss." He said as if that would've been the best 
treatment.

She leaned forward and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips and smiled 
against 
them, "How about we get out of this pool and go do something else?" She 
said 
seductively.

"And what are we going to do?" He whispered as he started kissing her 
neck.

"It's the Forth of July. I'm sure we can find something...to do!" She 
gasped as 
he kissed the spot on her neck that made her go weak. But she giggled 
as he 
nibbled it gently.

"Are you ticklish there, marine?" He teased in a whisper.

"Sensitive and...Ticklish!" She gasped again as he kissed the other 
side. "Come 
on flyboy, lets get out of this pool. Everyone is watching us."

"Let them watch." He laughed, but he stopped and took her hand. "You're 
right, 
lets go baby." 

They got out of the pool and walked back to the table where Harriet and 
Mac 
were sitting. Harriet was still there. Harm sat down then Mac sat on 
his 
lap. "You're all wet, sailor!" She laughed and teased at the same time. 

"Well so are you, sweetie, but you don't see me complaining do you? 
Besides 
that’s kinda what happens when you go in the pool. " He laughed and 
wrapped his 
arms around her waist and she settled back into his embrace. Mac shook 
her head 
and took a handful of pretzels. She put one in her mouth and gave one 
to 
Harm. "Thanks."

"Harriet, where's Bud?" Mac asked.

"I'm guessing he's still playing with little A.J. I'm gonna go see 
where he is, 
I'll be right back." Harriet smiled as she got up to leave.

Later that night:

The group walked down the sidewalk with chairs and blankets in their 
hands. 
They walked down to a small field, which they settled down to watch the 
fireworks. Harm sat down, crossing his legs, Indian style, and Mac sat 
down, 
and cuddled up against him, as he wrapped his arms around her. They 
looked 
around and all couples were cuddling together under the clear night 
sky. About 
a half hour later, the fireworks started and people were 'oohhhing' 
and 'aahhhing', at the beautiful site before them.

"Happy Forth of July, baby." Mac whispered to Harm as she watched 
colors 
explode above her. "I love you."

"Happy Forth of July, sweetie." Mac answered back, planting a kiss in 
her 
hair. “I love you too!”

The End!
