Daniel Jackson and Vala

Planet X

Vala Mal Doran smiled against the lips of her lover and gently ran a sunken cheek over his. Feeling stubble and all many other wondrous things that had long since been revealed to her – in all meanings – as she touches just about everything she can get her hands on. Meanwhile, Daniel's hands are buried in her hair, he's practically tearing her body open while lies on his back with legs in-between hers. She proudly sits on his lap, smirking as she kisses down his face, stopping at his lips and nipping his neck before journeying further. Her devious hands follow the path left by her mouth as she moves away. "Well, well isn't this naughty?"

"Yes, it is. Which is why we need to stop." Daniel pushed Vala up and off his knee and made to stand after rubbing at his tired eyes with his thumb and forefinger. He pretended to ignore her exasperated sigh and put back on his BDU jacket. "I need to get up to do what I do best and I suggest you do the same..."

He looked over at her ever lingering gaze. After long nights and long days with nothing but work and coffee to keep him company – he needed something. He was only too glad when he found that certain something on board with him, also. Vala had helped the host of Ba'al readjust to life without having a symbiote, inside his brain and not only controlling it but controlling his every thought and action as he stood by and watched helplessly as he carried out his symbiote's orders. She had then come back to the SGC and also, to Daniel, himself.

Daniel tried to push back the unruly fringe from her face, though it only sprang back after he moved his hand away. Pressing a gentle kiss to her soft lips, he moved towards the door and threw one last look at his lover for the night.

It had stopped being a carnal relationship a long, long time ago. The fire had never quite burnt its self out, as there was still those nights where she crept to him in the peaceful night on board the Odyssey. Wearing nothing but a seductive red lace two piece covered by a silky black nightgown, he was hardly ever going to turn her down. He wouldn't let her leave until the morning after, as well. Although, her sporadic visits were happening more and more frequently. Much to his confusion and concern about their relationship, Daniel went along with her feral nights.

"I'll be here when you get back, Dan." Vala grinned mischievously, swinging her legs in the air as she lay on her stomach, wearing nothing but one of his t-shirts.

Daniel nodded a reply and went to the bridge of the Odyssey – a ship capable of interstellar travel, hyperspace and not to mention extreme interplanetary warfare. She's beautiful in magnitude and able to fit a whole arsenal of weapons; if something was to go awry and needed to be dealt with soon as possible. Nevertheless, with a mix of Earth and alien technology, one could only expect the best from her. The usual hubbub of technical and scientific conversation filled the air as well as the smell of coffee with an underlying tang of sweat rippled through to where Daniel was spying their destination. A red planet, darker then Mars but lighter than the crappy maroon sofas back in his apartment. The planet loomed. It drew ever closer as the minutes ticked passed as the engines of the Odyssey made their journey as pleasant, though not as quick as what it would have been if they were going through the Stargate.

The segment of SG-1 arrived at the planet shortly after Daniel had managed to prize an over lustful Vala from his face during his break. Daniel left her enjoying a coffee and one of the glossy women's magazines in the mess which she had brought with her to keep her hands and mind occupied.

"Beaming in 3, 2..." He heard one of the technicians talking to either himself or one of the other egghead scientists who buzzed to themselves about their work. Looking over the surface of the planet, appearing as coffee red coloured ink blot on the night sky, he noted the small craters peppering the red.

He felt himself glow from the core as the matter that unites each one of his cells was quickly beamed down to the surface of the world.

The space suit protects him from all the toxins the planet harbours in the atmosphere and the ground.

Space boots kicked through the stationary dust as Daniel shone a halogen beam over as to where the reason for his being there should be. A stone circle, lazily buried under rock peeks out from under a layer of dust. The glyphs that cover the face of the horizontal ring are all to familiar to his archaeologist trained eye and brain. Daniel's built in respirator hissed with each breath he took and with each step that brought him closer to the buried ring.

But one thing was for sure.

Planet X is seeded with a Stargate and he was absolutely sure of it.

Thank you for reading... I was hoping to do more with chapter but, meh, it's only the introduction. And all I can say is – I hope you are enjoying this so far!

DaVala/DVala for the win! :D
