How Long?
How long were they going to keep doing this?
How long were they going to keep kidding themselves?
How long were they going to keep up with appearances?
How long were they going to last?
How long were they going to deprive themselves?
How long were they going to continue to lie?
How long before one of them cracks?
How long before one of them opens Pandora's Box?
How long before people start taking notice?
How long before her name slips out whilst she's fucking him?
How long before she starts having exotic dreams about her?
How long before she starts craving her?
How long before she finds herself wanting her, wanting her inside her, and wanting to fuck her?
How long before she finds herself in her quarters again?
How long before she holds her again?
How long before she runs her hand through her soft hair?
How long before she claims her lips?
How long before her hands travel under her clothing?
How long before she forces her tongue into her mouth?
How long before she feels her velvet-like skin?
How long before she forces her up against the wall?
How long before her fingers make their way toward her combat pants?
How long before her fingers make their way down soft, dark curls?
How long before her fingers come into contact with silky, wet, heated flesh?
How long before she starts fucking her?
How long before it's over and they go back to their daily routine?
How long before she goes back to Sheppard?
How long before she stops using him for sex?
How long before he realizes that she only wants him for one thing and one thing only-the fucking?
How long before she stops kidding herself and realizes that John isn't who she wants?
How long before she realizes that she doesn't just want Teyla for the sex?
How long before she realizes that Teyla's the one she really wants?
And how long before she takes the first step?
