"What gives, Chris? You sounded almost jealous about Backup's dancing."

Yeah, she had noticed that too, and liked it.

"Well, so did you."

Yeah, that too. And she had started to wonder - yet again - if she'd finally give in to the temptation and bed one of them after the mission. She hadn't quite decided which one, though.

"Well... yeah. I'm just frustrated."

Sounded good.

"Yeah, me too. Did you mind the Mardi Gras so much?"

"No, but I really wanted the time off. With you."

Hmm...

"Yeah. I know 'no sex during missions' goes without saying, but right now, rushing from assignment to assignment - it's killing me."

Huh? She had always known that those two were close, but to discuss their sex lives that openly? Maybe she'd have to reconsider her plans for those two... It probably wouldn't be possible, after all, to have both... Without the other one knowing about it.

"I know what you mean."

Talking stopped. But the silence wasn't complete. What the f...? That sounded like... kissing. Kissing? She risked a peek in.

And nearly shouted out her surprise. Kissing. Definitely kissing. Undoubtedly. Shit. That effectively destroyed *all* her plans.

Wait a second. She didn't really feel shocked. Or surprised. She tried to analyse her feelings, and realised she was still watching.

Hot.

Very hot.

She started to wonder if they did threesomes? Before she had time to be shocked over her thoughts the two men came out for air.

"Sorry, did I hurt you? Those cuts look painful."

"You're no better... so you might as well kiss me again."

He did. Oh, he did. Backup tried to tell herself she should move away. Before the guys noticed her. At the time they only paid attention to each other, though.

"We should stop."

"Yeah."

"Before Backup comes back."

"Yeah."

"Or someone else."

"And it's not like this is helping my frustration at all."

"Nope... I do hope the mission will go smoothly from now on... If it starts to suck, my frustration will reach uncontrollable heights."

"Oh yeah. Kiss me one more time."

Backup decided it was her cue to back off and return before the two men... went further.

She wondered if Spencer would be any good...

Well, with her luck, he'd probably be having an affair with Malone.

Disturbing imagery!!!

So she decided to watch Sam and Chris just for a little longer. At least they looked good together. Very, very good. Very, very, very good...
