Jamie / Sam: 2. Pretending to be married

Jamie/Sam - Pretending to be married, 173 words

[thisbluespirit]

“So, why’d you tell yon fellow we were married?”

Sam pulled him into the room. “It’s called going undercover. Thought you’d know all about that, what with you and the Doctor investigating things all the time.”

“Oh, aye,” said Jamie, never wanting to look ignorant. Then he frowned. “But how does that help us stop Gathred and those wee angry thingies?”

Sam turned around. “Look, all it means is that someone comes in here, wanting to know what we’re doing in a hotel room, we don’t tell them that we got it for the balcony so we could watch the dodgy alien in the offices opposite. We –”

“Sir, madam?” said someone at the door.

Sam demonstrated her point by kissing Jamie long and enthusiastically.

“- Do that,” she said, once room service had beaten a hasty retreat.

Jamie nodded. “Aye. Right. Nice plan. Mrs McCrimmon.”

“Just to make it really convincing,” said Sam, with a worryingly thoughtful look on her face, “we should get in the bed next time, don’t you think?”

That was great! Sam = ♥

As I add prompts to the generator, Jamie/Sam is still my go-to couple for testing. The results are... varied.

330) The Odds Against - Margaret Pargeter
Ever since his fiancé the Second Doctor had walked out on him to marry someone else, Jamie McCrimmon had been a changed man, bitter and suspicious of all men - and Samantha Briggs, who had loved him for years, was very worried about him. Nevertheless, had she done the right thing in agreeing to marry him? It was obvious that, although he found her attractive - wanted her, in fact - Jamie didn't love her; not only that, he would go running back to Two if he ever got the chance! Could such a one-sided marriage possibly work?

382) Hot on Her Tail - Saskia Walker
It wasn’t the knee-high black leather boots or the skintight leather hotpants that grabbed her attention, but the padlocked slave collar he was wearing around his neck.
As he stepped out of the stolen vehicle she’d been chasing, Officer Samantha Briggs was thunderstruck by the alluring redhead in the provocative attire. Upon further investigation, it soon became clear that despite appearances, Jamie McCrimmon was not some crazy car thief dressed like a bondage slave from a porn movie. He was, in fact, the victim in some underhanded maneuvering by his vindictive ex.
Now it was up to Sam to help him out of this mess. But the electric attraction that blazed between them soon culminated in a night of explosive passion that would change Sam’s life forever.

(What do you mean, Jamie's not a redhead? I'm sure he was in one of the novelisations...)
