Prelude
John Sheppard walked in the training room, annoyed that he even had to have this training. He had always kept himself in shape, honing his fighting skills. In his line of work, he had to. So being physically fit was a necessity not an option. His life was full of dangers and secrets. The sudden loud noise coming from the opening and closing of the training room's door behind him, suddenly interrupting his thoughts about the kind of life he had led so far.
John turned toward the approaching footsteps. He grinned at the woman he saw approaching him. The grin he knew that got him noticed by the opposite sex. The woman approaching him had skin of golden, hair, the lighter shade of bronze. Her hair was pulled together into a ponytail with tendrils framing her face, her face strikingly exotic, but beautiful. John felt the pull of attraction.
"Hello," John greeted.
"Hello."
"Hi…I'm John Sheppard," his hand reaching out as woman came to a stop in front of him.
"Sir, I know who you are." Her hand taking his out stretched hand. "It is a pleasure to meet Sir."
One of John's brows raise, he grinned. "You can call me John."
He watched her eyes studied him for a moment. He watched a smile touch the corners of her mouth. Her hand, he held in his own was strong and firm, but soft to the touch. John felt her hand pulling away from his, reluctantly he released her hand.
"Sir shall we get started?"
"Hey! You're not going to tell me your name? You seems to know who I am shouldn't I know who you are?
"Sir, my name is Teyla Emmagen and we are here or I should say I am here to train you in several forms of martial art including Tae Kwan Do, Kempo, and Goju. Now, shall we get started?"
John looked at the very attractive woman who stood a few inches away. She was a couple feet shorter than he was he judged, but there was no mistaking how fit she was, but she was going to teach him what?
Teyla Emmagen looked at John Sheppard frowningly. She knew he was trying to assess her worth. She smiled to herself. She was use to most men judging her by what they saw first. And she had heard a great deal about John Sheppard. A silence thrill ran through her, deciding she will take great delight in teaching the man who was boyishly grinning at her a lesson he just didn't see coming.
