Prompt: Don't

Kink: Courtship

"Don't," Jennifer said, as she opened the door to her room, "Don't start again, Rodney, because I can't…."

She trailed off as she came face to face…well face to chest with a very confused looking Satedan.

"Ronon," she said, chuckling, "Sorry, I thought you were…"

"McKay," he said, "Is something wrong?"

She shook her head, "No, its just McKay has kind of been, uh, showing me a lot of things today. Things he can do."

Ronon nodded, somehow seeming to know exactly what she was talking about, but how could he? How could he know how Rodney had followed her around all day, breaking things just to fix them, and pointing out every single thing he'd ever made work in Atlantis.

She knew he was trying to impress her and it was kind of sweet…for a while. There had been moments over the last few months were she'd thought her and McKay would work. They were both intellectuals, and he was adorable in an annoyingly desperate kind of way. In the last week though, as McKay seemed more and more desperate to spend time with her, she'd wanted to be around him less and less…and found herself dreaming of a certain gorgeous warrior twice as often as before.

"Did you, uh, did you need something?" she asked, blushing as she realized she'd just been staring at him.

He nodded, "Could I come in?"

"Of course," she said, "of course." She moved aside so he could enter the room, immediately feeling it with his huge presence "Is something wrong?"

"No," he said, "I just have something to say to you."

"Oh…okay, what did you want to…." she never got to finish her sentence, because Ronon leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. The kiss was light, gentle, but passionate. He didn't touch her anywhere else, giving her plenty of time to pull away…which as the very last thing on her mind.

He began to pull away, but she reached up and grabbed his arms, her nails digging into his firm biceps as she rose on her toes to deepen the kiss.

Taking her response as a positive sign, his tongue slid along her lips, his teeth nibbling on her bottom lip until she opened for him. Her tongue slid out to meet his as she groaned in pleasure.

When the need to breathe could no longer be ignored, they pulled apart, Ronon nibbling on her bottom lip again before finally releasing her.

Jennifer's eyes were closed and they fluttered open to stare at him. Her face was hot and she wanted nothing more than to feel his lips pressed against hers again.

But Ronon pulled away, looking into her eyes as he spoke, "Jennifer, I'd like to court you."

She blinked, shocked and unbelievably touched by the sweet and sincere request, "I….okay."

Ronon smiled, and leaned down to kiss her softly again, "Would you go to dinner with me tonight?"

She smiled, "I'd love to."

With another smile, Ronon left, leaving her staring with what she knew was a goofy smile on her face.

She touched her lips and hoped dinner would end with another kiss.
