Spoilers: Starts after Mac's breakup with Mic, but before JAGathon. 

Admiral Chegwidden's Office

AJ watched from behind a folder as Mac shifted in her seat again. 

'Damn!  If she moves that skirt any higher I'm not going to be responsible for my actions.'

He watched as she crossed her legs.  Her skirt managed to creep another inch up her thighs. 

His fingers tightened on the file and he stared.  Raising his eyes he caught her looking at him.  .  No smile, no indignation about him looking at her legs, no expression at all.  Except her eyes, they were devouring him. 

'That's it!' he thought, slamming the file shut.   "Good work Colonel...dismissed"

As soon as the door clicked shut he stood up.  Standing relieved some of the tension and as he crossed to the window he tried to think.  'When did I even notice she HAD legs!  I know...when she started staring at me with those eyes and finding reasons to touch me.  She managed very nicely for years to work with me without putting her chest at my eye level.  Magnificent breasts....I must have been blind to miss them all these years!!' 

'It's not her.  It can't be her.  It won't be her.  It's been months since I've had an encounter with anything but myself!  That's all'

Relieved to have put Colonel Mackenzie back in her rightful place in his mind he turned to look at the desk.  And pictured her sprawled on it. 

'I've got to get out of here' he muttered picking up the phone "Tiner!  Cancel my appointments for the rest of the day....Something's come up and I need to take care of it"

"Aye Sir"

Colonel Mackenzie's Office

'OK so that wasn't obvious!  Why don't you just strip next time and plop yourself down on his desk!' 

Mac groaned and put her head down on the desk. ' This is ridiculous!  I'm to old to be lusting after my CO.  This is not Jr. High and he's not the good looking  new math teacher!'

Feeling hot she fanned herself with the file in her hand.  'His hands. I wonder what his skin tastes like?' Sigh

'I've got to get out of here!' Mac scrambled to get her things together.

JAG Elevator

1230 hrs

"Hold the elevator" Mac called as she crossed the hallway. 'Thank goodness,' she thought as the doors slid back open and she dashed in almost running into AJ.

"Thank you....Sir."  Mac swallowed.  The elevator felt very small with just the two of them.  And even though they weren't even close to touching she felt as if her body had gone on alert.  .  'Being close to him is torture, but then so is not being close to him'

"Going out for lunch Colonel", AJ asked.  'I wonder why she's nervous....I'm the one about to explode over here!  Does she have any idea how good she smells?'

"Yes Sir.  Decided just a minute ago.  Needed some fresh air", Mac replied, trying to sound normal.  'He's so warm!  I can feel the heat from him over here!'

DING

Moving towards the door at the same time they brushed against each other.  Drawing in their breaths they looked at each other for a second longer than necessary. 

A small smile curling his lips AJ moved first - lightly pushing her out. Mac almost stumbled as she felt his hand on the small of her back - palm down, fingers fanning towards her buttocks.

"Have a good lunch Mac", AJ said softly as he exited the building.

JAG Headquarters

2wks later

0930

'I can't believe I'm dreading my own staff meeting'.  Pouring another cup of coffee AJ grumbled to himself.  'Rain, my washing machine died, and 45min of hearing my staff whine.  I need a vacation!'

"Good morning sir" AJ stiffened slightly as he felt a soft hand on the back of his thigh at the same time Mac purred her greeting.  The touch was fleeting but these days that's all it took.   After 2 weeks of small, seemingly inadvertent touches, he was constantly on edge.

"Coffee Colonel?"

"Thank You, Sir" 

AJ took a sip out of the cup in his hand then passed it to Mac, deliberately stroking her fingers as he let go "Careful Mac, don't spill it."

As he left the break room Mac smiled.  She  licked her lips and placed her mouth where his had been, curling her tingling fingers around the mug. 'Yes sir, it is a good morning!'

Staff Meeting

1030 hrs

Mac stared at her blank legal pad as the voices of the others swirled around her....

'I've got to pay attention.  I haven't heard a word that's been said in 20 minutes.  I wonder if he knows what I've been thinking.  I hope not!  I've tried to be more discreet after almost hiking my skirt up to my neck a few weeks ago.  Ok...maybe touching his thigh wasn't my brightest idea.  But....he just looked so good standing there, and seeing him alone was too much temptation!' 

"Something on your mind Colonel?  Would you like to share with the rest of us?"  AJ's voice cut into her thoughts.  Jerking her head up she saw everyone looking at her expectantly. 

"No Sir!  Just mulling over a case point" Mac replied calmly. 'What point!  He's going to ask me....think, think....' Mac's thoughts whirled furiously through her mind.

"And how IS the Thomas case?", AJ returned to his eyes to the files before him as she began to ramble.  Obviously trying to organize her thoughts. 'Caught ya!' He thought almost gleefully.

1300 hrs

"Ma'am?  Admiral wants to see you in his office in 30 minutes."

"Thanks Tiner".

Mac leaned back in her chair.  'Well...party's over.  I should have just hit the bars after Mic left.  Maybe that's what it is.  Maybe that's why he fascinates me so much.  Fascinates...well that at least sounds better than he can make me wet just by handing me my coffee!   I have to carry a change of underwear with me to work for goodness sakes.  I  know it's because there's no one else in my life.  Yea right.  Then why haven't I tried to find someone? Doesn't matter now.  I've been flirting with him for a while now.  My conduct went too far this morning, then not paying attention in the meeting.  Wait a minute....let's not jump the gun.  He may only have a new case for you.  How do you meditate?  I need to calm down!  Should I pack my office?  Should I go for broke and attack him?  OK....deep breath.'

"What in the world were you thinking about!!"  Rabb's voice cut in on her thoughts. 

"AAAGGGG" Already leaning over too far in the chair she nearly tipped over. "Ever hear of knocking, flyboy?"  Mac said severely "I almost killed myself!"

"I did knock. What were you thinking?  Daydreaming in the meeting?  Did you know the Admiral asked you for a run down on the Thomas case three times before you ever looked up?"  Rabb started smirking.  "It was almost comical!  You looked like a deer caught in the headlights!"

"Very funny.  I'm due in there in 10 minutes"

"Well...I'll see you afterwards.  Or what's left of you"

"You're such a comfort Harm!"  Mac threw a pencil at him as he left, this time laughing outright.

'I could be drummed out of the service for this.  Is this what I want?  If I'm wrong...but if I'm right!  If she's not thinking what I believe she is this is grounds for the biggest sexual harrassment suit in history!  But, if she is.' Sighing AJ moved around his office.  Too keyed up to sit he was pacing.

'What?  She's going to jump on your cock, take care of business and finish out her day like nothing ever happened' "You know, you can be very nasty when you want to be" AJ muttered  to his conscious.

"Colonel Mackenzie, sir," Tiner's voice came through the intercom.

"Send her in.  Tiner, I do not want to be disturbed during this meeting....for anything.  Understood?" AJ barked over the intercom.

Tiner looked nervously at Mac "Aye, Sir.  Good luck, Ma'am.  He's been in a mood this afternoon"
