"Gentlemen I need good reasons," she walked down the corridor with a high pace, and impatience for two scientists and their trivial disagreements, Elizabeth had been called to the Operations Platforms by the Sergeant who played a key role in the recent Wraith incident.

"The Atlantis Expedition has always consisted of qualified and experience personnel I hardly feels he fits the bill," argues Kavanagh; strongly, to convince Dr Weir to make a decision for his own gain.

"Yes but still doesn't changes the facts, he is still the only person on this base who can translate the Ancient Language faster and more syntactically and grammatically accurate than the computer programs, or maybe this has something to do with your inability to do it by yourself,"

"Rodney," she snapped making sure he kept in line with his debate without the need for low blows and personal attacks.

"Look he was assigned to Kavanagh's team cos no one else in his team or on Atlantis can do that good a damn job,"

"If you like him so much you can have him on your team," said Weir attempting to reach a compromise, she was slowly loosing patients but kept her calm, why would Kavanagh want him removed from Atlantis and sent home on the Daedalus? She took a few steps on the stairs and turned around to the two who had yet to ascend the stairs, and blocked their path, "Lets just go on the facts here,"

"Fact is; we loose him then work slows down to the same rate we were at before, he has translated well over 5 areas of the database in to a electronic copy in english in a two weeks since he has been here! Yes he may have no other experience or skills, yes he has just become a college graduate, but no one else can do what he can, why would we want to loose that?" A just argument only to be interrupted by Kavanagh and his bad sportsmanship.

"Oh for god sakes he's a freaking fa-"

"Finish that sentence" said Weir stepping in with a fury in her eyes, "and I'll send you back on the Daedalus. Mr Mason stays, if you're that intolerant then he is moved to Dr McKay's team,"

"What!" they both said in unison,

"Now, if you'll excuse me,"

-----

Teyla had grown curious, she knew Doctor Weir was a busy and key member of the team but what could have held her up. Colonel Sheppard however attention was easily distracted by idle conversation. Ronan on the other hand was a more no-nonsense warrior; he stood out somewhat from the others, while both the Colonel and Teyla were in the navy blue offworld gear, Dex kept with his personal taste of the long pale coat and Sateda sidearm. They recently returned from a visit to planet called NCR - 461, that had the agricultural town of Larnan, which spoke of an interesting temple deep within the valley, one belonging to the ancestors.

"What do we have?" she called out continuing her way up the stairs from behind the control centre.

"We think we may a location of some Ancient ruins, hopefully they might turn up with something promising," replied Sheppard before Teyla had the chance to speak, "The locals seems pretty friendly, simple folk."

"What do you need?" cutting to the chase, she moved quickly around the command centre collecting items she left around, a PDA, her tablet, her favourite pen.

"A Jumper and a team to study the site,"

"Consider it done,"

'Easy enough' the Colonel thought to himself.

"Have McKay and Mason start organising the offworld research team,"

"Mason?" questioned Sheppard, Weir; stopping in her tracks on her way to her office, turned around to the ranking military officer, expecting the same conversation she had with Kavanagh, however she expected better from him. She shot him a gaze, that 'question me if you dare' look "His field training is limited, actually he has none, before we set out I'd want to get him up to speed with basic firearms,"

"Forget it we need to get there as soon as..." interjected Ronan

"Better to be safe than sorry," added Teyla in reply

"Just make it quick John"

-----

So the topic of much conversation and debate, that's me, who sat in one of the many Ancient labs, with my dorky reading glasses skimmed over the dense text in the Ancient language, with no hindrance of difficulty, piece of piss if you ask me. But no matter how easy it was, I couldn't focus, the worst case scenario ran though my head, 2 weeks, that's how long I've been here, what would happen if they decided to send me home now. I never got the chance to meet everyone, to settle in, go offworld, nothing.

"Hope you're happy now," came a voice from behind, I peeled off the glasses to rub my eyes, looking clearly at the figure that entered the room behind him,

"Well what did they say?" I enquired, hoping to learn my fate.

"Well you're staying,"

"That's good,"

"But you're working with me?"

"That's bad?" McKay paused for a second with the 'stupid question' shocked look on his face,

"Yes that is bad, I don't want you on my team, this is the last favour I do for you,"

"Come on Rod..."

"...don't call me Rod..."

"...it'll be fun; you won't even know I'm here."

"That is not the point; I have enough idiots to deal with..."

"...without having to deal with one more?" the conversation paused when I butted in with the last comment.

"Yea, pretty much,"

"Hello kids," Colonel John Sheppard, walking into the room with that smug smile on his face, and I had to grab a hold of the table, laying eyes on him and my knee went weak. "Looks like we got a mission, there's some ruin, possibly an Ancient Outpost, get a team together,"

"Possibly?" questioned McKay, "Has anyone actually checked it out to see if we're wasting our time?"

"Major Lorne took a Jumper and ran some scans, there is something there worth investigating." he turned his attention to McKay's new lab assistant...me! "Mason right?"

"Call me Alex," I replied with a sheepish grin and a squeaky voice, McKay simply rolling his eyes at my so called obvious display of flirtation,

"Will need you at the firing range in 2 hours, basic weapons training before we head out, see you there," moments after the Colonel left,

"You're wasting your time you know,"

"A guy can dream can't he?"

"Eugh!"

-----

He was the welcoming face when he arrives, the Colonel, when the Daedalus landed on the east pier and Major Webs escorted all us new recruits as far as the Atlantis gate room. It was him and that smile, the dark stubble and tall broad frame that greeted him. I felt his heart sink when I saw Sheppard. Normally Weir conducts the introductions but she had a meeting with some dudes called the Tinnius Republic, regarding trade of raw metal in exchange for recent data and intelligence on Wraith activity collected by the expedition. Anyway, he stood there, very informally; in that black zip up top all the military personnel seem to wear, so hot. Sheppard has personally addressed us, as the crowd moved off into their own groups for the tour, John playing good host began conversations, small talk if you will with random newbie's, like me. A five minute chat was enough to make an impression on me.

So I stepped into the firing range centre, Major Lorne turned to see the guest enter the room and thus departed himself once he finished his update. "Bit early, I get worried when people are eager to shoot a gun,"

"There's still a few things I need to pack so thought I'd get this out of the way," -whatever- I could hear Rodney say under his breath if he were there. The earlier I was there the longer I could spend with the Colonel, on some level what Rodney said played in my mind, did I have a chance? But oh well the company is nice.

"We wont be going onto anything big, just keep it simple with the 9mm."

"No P90?"

"No,"

"AK47?"

"No,"

"RPG?"

"Hell no!"

I'm such a tease.

The lesson moved on a bit, first a quick run through on all the click and switches on the 9mm, the in's and out's, and even went through how to disarm one, l like I'm gonna know how to do that! Then the fun part, actually firing one, sweet! So I held it, heavier than they look those things, not much of a fan or guns, they tend to kill, how can they protect? But hey I'm killing evil space aliens, how can I complain? I think I watched enough cop shows to figure out how to do this, one hand on handle other underneath.

"Not quite" I heard from behind, fair enough if he wants to correct me but what really started to freak me out was how we went around doing it. His arms came around me to grasp the gun, and his chest pressed against my back, his legs every so gently knocking into mine. "You need to line up both sights on the gun; once they are in line then you have an aim." My heart started to pound, could feel the goosebumps on the skin all the way up my arm. His breath very gently on my neck, "Now line up the two sight with the target, and squeeze the trigger, don't pull it," he took a step back, thankfully giving my some space before I decided to pass out, I squeezed the trigger, a huge bang caught me off guard, it held it at arms length but it was so close to my face, I flinched and the bullet ended up in the left hand wall.

"Not bad, that's about what? 9 feet out?" I said but the Colonel wasn't amused, well slightly but not very,

"9 feet is enough to either hit a Wraith or Rodney,"

"Who cares as long as we hit one of them," He didn't reply to that, dunno whether it was because he agreed or became more of a prude cos he was hanging out with Rodney to much.

"So who's the space aliens?" I asked casually, they mentioned is briefly in the report but I skimmed that part, went straight to the bit about the Ancient, ya know the cool ass kicking good guys...who lost, meh just bad luck.

"The Wraith?" he seemed pretty shocked, as if, to say You signed up but no one told you? That type, "Bad guys who started a war with the Ancients, they eat people," Eat people? Sound kinky, I would have pulled a line but if you're not gay or our ways elude you, then you wouldn't find it funny. Stupid body why did it have to react to that, glad he was standing behind me still, so he couldn't see the you know what. Damn he's doing that getting in close thing again, just the last thing I need, more stimulation, god this is so embarrassing, wish he doesn't see it, these jeans don't hide much ya know. He adjusted my weapon again for a cleaner shot, "Well they more like suck..." Not helping! "Here shoot now?"

"What!" I said not realising as knee jerk reaction I squeezed the trigger, the loud bang echoed in my ear and flash of light cause be to flinch away for a second. But he both stood silent, waiting for the smoke to clear; I looked at the location of the second bullet. "Lucky shot?" I ask starring at the hole in the centre of the target, perfect shot, and right between the eyes.

"Probably."

-----

So we were standing in the Atlantis command centre area with Colonel Sheppard's team, McKay stood around the transparent screen which showed a topographic map of the planet, and he was talking about something he stupidly assumed everyone understood.

"This is the sensor information we downloaded from Jumper 2," he said, obviously this was his shot at being Sky New's new weatherman. "There's a thunder storm, a big one, heading in the direction of the ruins and the gate,"

"How exactly would this effect our investigation of the area?" Asked Weir, some what of a stupid question if you ask me, don't get me wrong I think she's groovy, smart, hell it look me ages to write a paper about her, but hello' thunderstorm, wet rain, with electronic equipment, the toaster turns into the electric chair.

"We'll have to put the mission off for a couple of days," No shit, "We can leaving in two and a half days, take a Jumper from the gate to the ruin but will be cut off from the gate for several days when the second wave of the storm hit that area,"

"We'll be complete cut off from the gate?" the Colonel questioned, I could notice him at the corner of my eye, the strong authoritarian stance.

"So we'll have to camp out for a while," I finally said something, since being there for a whole 10 minutes, I decided to make myself known rather than leaning on the console at the back.

"Kids got a point" who the hell is Ronan calling a kid? I'm 21 for god sakes.

Weir chaired this informal meeting, listening to all the contributions to the discussion, till she finally came to a conclusion. "Missions postponed till further notice,"

-----

Step, step, block, step, block, spin, THWACK! "Ow!"

"Concentrate," ordered Teyla pulling back, she turned away loosening her joints with a show of skill as the her sticks spun around like a blade on a blender. They should really advise wearing some padding or something I dunno but she was doing everything other than going easy on me.

"I am,"

"If you were concentrating you would not have block before you spun," oh crap, step, spin, block, why couldn't I get this, "You wished to learn, I expect some effort on you're behalf,"

"I'm trying," that's what she was worried about, I was as eager as another one else but I just couldn't get it. She heard the report made by John, can't believe what he said about me, it was the first time I ever handled a gun and hate the damn things. Sticks are better, wont kill a Wraith but will probably send them running after a beat then into a pulp, if not then I'm the main course.

"It will require you full attention, your focus, you can not be distracted," the Athosian said, began to wonder where she was going with this. Oh god she knows, McKay couldn't bloody keep his mouth shut, I bet he told everyone, running his mouth off to lord knows who came across in his lab. That sad sad little man! She just grinned at me. "Fear not, it is a secret that will stay safe with me,"

"Who told you?" I was furious, but you probably couldn't tell since I hadn't yet already stormed to McKay's lab, I supress things alot, I could feel my blood boil through the veins in my tired arms.

"No one," she said with that innocent puzzled look on her face, seemed genuine, "I can see the way you look at him, admire him almost." She spun her sticks one final time and took a stance ready to fight. "You are angry?"

"I told McKay, we talk often when working,"

"Didn't see you as Doctor McKay's choice of friends,"

"Someone need to challenge everything he says,"

"As always. And you question the trust you placed in him when you revealed your feeling towards the Colonel?" I didn't answer; I stuttered the words I tried to string into a sentence, bloody habit! "Try focusing that anger, try not too think to hard about what needs to be done but simple do it. Use instinct, not thought. Focus. Begin" So I did, literally just went for her, she being better at this than I am had one hand behind her back and didn't even move from the spot she stood over. I did this combo I picked up lemme see if I can put it into words. Right stick, right stick back hand, left stick, spin 360 right stick back hand. Took me ages to practise that, took her by surprise but she still block them all. Damn her and her extra-terrestrial superhuman kung fu. I held the attack for nearly 2 minutes constant, hit and block, one after the other, would have stayed in the same spot if I didn't need to raise my knee and block her kicks. The whole time I looked at her eyes, until I spun a step back, arms spread, left stick forward, right stick back, bending my knees and lowering my stance. My chest was heaving for breath, beads to sweat climbing down from forehead, and she smug and skilled stood as if she simply stood there and did nothing, no sign of fatigue. "Excellent, you by far have made the quickest improvement out of all my students."

Just as I was about to thank her the door behind me opened and in trailed a line of young Athosians, with their own sticks and training gear, "I would like you stay for the class," Oh what? I've been beaten and battered for an hour; I'm tired do I really have to? All that ran through my mind, but she had the sweet smile on her, the one where you can't say no to. Damn. Can hear my sister's voice in my head right now, 'Weak!' So I just gave a half assed one sided smile, and got into line, with the rest of them. "This is Rian," she said pointing to one of the Athosian, he came over, wearing those beige and brown tank tops, he stood about the same height as me but his shoulders were broader supporting an athletic build. His hair swept behind his head, longer then mine as it came down to his neck, lighter was well, a mousey brown where as mine was bark brown.

"Hello," he said softly, he reached out his hand to greet me and as I shook it I was surprised how gentle he could be even with such a strong physical build... TEYLA! That damn match maker! She did this on purpose! Although after spend a few minutes talking to him I can't say I can actually complain, intelligent, well-spoken, and a great laugh. He noticed my accent wasn't the same everyone else's and he was interested in England and how our planet has such diversity.

"You will go easy on him will you not?" Teyla whispered in my ear from behind as I stood opposite Rian. Everyone had broken off into there sparring pairs, "He may have strength but like a strong tree his roots run deep into the ground and is hard to move, you however are lighter on your feet and faster."

-----

"What happened?" the sound of Elizabeth's voice came echoing down the corridor outside the Infirmary. She stormed in with that posture of authority that she has, with her hand on her hips almost demanding an explaination as to why her Ancient expert was being treated for concussion and a sprained wrist, which bloody hurt like hell!

"I had a little accident,"

"Little?" she question, almost finding my pain amusing, how sadistic of her,

"He had been training for some hours now, it was my fault I should have ended his participation sooner,"

"Why do I have a feeling you had something to do with this?" she said turning to Rian who was kind enough to bring me to the Infirmary as Teyla ended the class. He couldn't muster the words to deny guilt which was kinda useless since, well it was his fault. "No more sticks for you,"

"No fair," I protested

"He'll need to take the rest of the day off, but should be fine in the morning," Carson added as came back with Biometric Scan from his new Ancient toy.

-----

He was sweet, walked me through the halls of the city, just to make sure I got home safely, obviously I took the unnecessary long route to spend as much time which him as possible, but how was he to know. "So basically..." I said just finishing off our conversation, "...that's how you make a pizza." He really seemed fascinated, that or either he too wished to spend as long as possible with me. "So...this is me," I said pausing in front of the door to my room.

"Interesting," he said taking a good look at the two metallic panels and its surrounding, "we must have passed this room twice before you mentioned it was yours."

"I got a little lost?" he was so not buying the innocent newbie act, caught in the act, guilty as charged. He had the cutest one sided smirk on his face, and that twinkle in his eye, oh god he had gorgeous eyes, could spend all night looking that them.

"If you wish to spend more time with me," he said taking a step closer to me, "you only needed to ask," his hands gently brushed down my arms, I could feel my heart pounding in my heaving chests ready to smash out from its ribbed surrounding. Fuck he was so close I could feel his heart pounding against my chest. "Do you; wish to spend more time with me?" I was melting, the icy cold distant emo kid was melting in this guys strong arms, he moved in so close the air he used to speak those words flowed against my own lips.

"Alex I was hoping to catch you," her voice came around the corner, she much have only just caught me walking to my room, "I was hop-ing..." her sentence stopped when she figured I had company and was about to pull it, him that is. "...this is a bad time,"

"Yes!" I hissed through my teeth

"I should take my leave," perfect answer, wait, she didn't say that, I turned to Rian who already stepped away,

"No its ok I'll go,"

"Yes!" I answered to her behind me

"Worry not, I will," he paused to think about that, "see you soon," gah! Loosely translated meaning if and when I can be bothered to see you again. He started walking away, I struggled to come out with the words to ask him to stay but they wouldn't come out. Doctor Elizabeth Weir, clever girl some days, but her timing sucks!

"You..." I scorned to her

"Sorry, plus side, you now have a date for the party," I just gave her my 'not impressed' expression, "Anyway there was a word I had trouble translating," she said, a subtle reminder that the work of the expedition was far more important than the teenage rambling of an early twenty neurotic engineer. She flipped her tablet to show the 5 letter word,

"Disturb,"

"Alex,"

"No I'm serious,"

"This whole sentence was taken from a photo Major Lorne took of the ruins, it's a warning not to disturb the temple," she was almost as confused about it as I was.

-----

Wish someone would find the freaking light switch; some of the areas in the city have near to zero lighting cos the power demands, so people are happy to dump crap in any corridor they come across. I thought my room was bad but this is something else, at least my room has a pile of my dirty washing and although everything does cover the floor at least you know where it all was. Enough about my room, I had stashed a little something away here, I went over to the mainland and asked a blacksmith for a personal request, in return for some cider that was brought over by the Daedalus, dunno what it is with Athosians but they like their drink.

"What ya doing here?" JEES LOUISE!

"Scared me half to death!"

"I'll try harder next time," said Laura, she stood behind me going her PDA, "Back to my original question," she said giving me a suspicious look, "What are doing here?"

"None of your business,"

"Alex," that was me.

"Leave me alone," women couldn't take a hint to drop the subject,

"Don't think you can get rid of me that easily."

"Just picking something up for the party, you still coming?" changing subject always works with her its great and too easy

"Depends,"

"On?"

"If Carson apologies,"

"What happened?"

"He tried to kill me,"

"He use nuts in his cooking again?"

"Again being the operative word," Scottish Loon!

"Plus side, he is a doctor, what would honestly go wrong,"

"Ever seen my face bloat up like a red balloon, I could scare children,"

"Maybe we should send you to M7G-677 next time," being that planet with all the kids.

"If I do I know who to blame,"

"Rodney?" the thing that probably worried her is that he would, she so knew he could, bingo found it, I pull out the small gift wrapped box with its shiny silver bow, "Right I'll see you tonight,"

"Is you're new friends coming?" Gossip travels faster than the speed of hyperdrive on this city; I froze in step and slowly turned around,

"Am I the centre of conversation is this place?"

"The only gay in the village," someone's been practising their welsh accent.

"Haven't spoken to him since,"

"Lizzy scared him off?"

"Just bad timing,"

"Women's like your bloody mother,"

"Shuddup!"

-----

"The Outer Limits box set," said Teyla with the fakest smile imaginable but you have give the poor girl a break, what the hell was Raddek thinking, "Thank you Dr Zelenka," She places the present down amongst the foliage of wrapping paper that sat in the centre of glittery decorations, streamer party poppers and a huge birthday cake with the pinkest icing you have ever seen. Ronan was in the corner trying to down as many pints as possible, get them in while he can, not everyday Weir authorised the opening of the kegs. She came to his present, a small flat box, that rattled ever so slightly as she lifted it, "Who is this from," she said looking at Ronan after reading the tag. Untying the ribbon she gentle raised the box, "Oh my!" she said with an expression of amazement at its content, carefully she raised the sapphire blue gem that hung from the centre of the necklace.

"Found the gemstone of P4N-115, thought I could put a few things together,"

"You made it?" She asked surprised, "...with Wraith teeth, how nice." as nasty as it was using some guys fangs, she wore it nevertheless, he put alot of effort into that...thing. "Alex?" That's me, getting my attention as she read out the tag, the slim long box sat heavily on the table, ripping away at the layers of wrapping paper, yea I'm that shit, she finally got the box and the small flap at the top, hope she likes it, she better, took a barrel load of cider to pay for it. Reaching into the box she lift the handle and pulled out the foot long bladed weapon, and the second identical. Light brown leather handles with golden embroidery, a long slim almost leaf-shaped silver blade with writing of the Ancient engraved into it, 'Guardian of Athos'.

"Magnificent" she breathed as she brushed one side of the edge with her fingers,

"A pre-requisite for every warrior princess," punned McKay.

"How did you?" queried Weir concerned of where I could something like that,

"I have my contacts,"

"Moren," answered Teyla without the need for a second guess, "I am familiar with this craftsmanship,"

"Question two," interjected Sheppard, "How did you get it past security?" Errmm.

The party continued once every present was opened, Laura and Carson was abusing the privilege that was the make shift dance floor, completely embarrassing themselves, thankfully Katy managed to drag Rodney up for a couple of songs, Ronan being the socialite of the year as always took a step back to all the going ons, again, with a pint, think he is developing a problem. Teyla retreated to his company after dealing with the grief of being the centre of attention, everyone even Heightmeyer coming forward hugging smiling, saying 'Happy Birthday' she didn't know what that meant 2 years ago. Liz and John sat down on the sofa we brought in from Carson's room, she most likely was talking about work related thing, he was making sure her wine glass was never empty praying that this next bottle would loosen her up and she would start enjoying herself...and stop talking about work! Great, I'm the nineteenth wheel to this party, everyone else is happy, smiling, coupled...I need to get out here!

-----

The hall ways of the city were darkened almost impossible to find my room, the power of the ZPM was resting after its excessive use during the terrorist attack of the Goa'uld Caldwell, and he was fine after they beamed the snake out of his neck. Even with a mini universe in the bottle acting as the cities plug sockets everyone was still in an energy conservation tree hugging eco friendly mindset. Have no problem with that but a little light in this pitch black hallway would be nice, can't see a bloody a thing! I came to a window, stepping carefully towards the source of light, Atlantis laid quiet in the dark, resting under the high moon as she slept among the stars, check me out being poetic. But it was a nice too look at, there's a balcony near my room, makes a good hiding place in the middle of the night, not many people venture to unknown areas but if it means getting away from the mass of people then I'm all for it. Where was I? This balcony faces right down the north west pier, that pentagonal one with the drone weapon bay right at the end, during the night the low lit yellow structures and the dark ocean under a full sky of stars was a beauty. Can loose yourself in the peaceful horizon, unless of course a squadron of darts descend upon you then that'll really ruin the moment. Speaking of ruining the moment what was that sound? I had to carry on moving, lingered around here too long, pacing down the 'streets' using the moonlit furniture as runway lights I made it back as quick as I could but every sound of my footstep was accompanied with someone else's, not the stealthiest of people I might add, every corner I turned it turned too, every corridor I walked it walked. This was getting freaky, where the bloody hell are the S.O.'s; they're meant to be two patrolling every area, gah! You're probably reading this wondering, what a chicken, and I don't blame you I would too, but its like the horror movies, you don't think its scary, but once your in that situation for real, you'd be petrified. The second set of footsteps drew closer, god sakes man pull yourself together, it's ok, and you're at your room.

"Hello," I jumped out of skin as that voice and the hand on my shoulder came from behind, after settling down to see it was Rian, I began to breathing again. "I did not mean to startle you,"

"Well...you did," glad someone was finding this amusing,

"You weren't at the celebrations," He went?

"Had my fair share of the fun," I lie

"I see, I came to see you," Direct, I like, "I didn't finish was I wished the say last time," say...or do? His arm came around my body, hands slowly brushing down my arm, while the other wrapped around my waist, as his lips brutally lock me in place after gently drawing it closer. I felt my back against the wall as his powerful body leaned over mine, my hands wrapped around his shoulders holding his head in closer. I freed one with enough waving over the door controls to open my room and within moments of the doors sliding open I found myself pinned to the bed, fingers exploring the skin beneath my black tee. Mine explored the broadness of his back slowly sliding his top up and over his head and admiring his beautiful body lit under moonlight. I bit my lip as Rian worked his way down the length of my neck, my back arching off the bed pushing our naked bodies closer together. His hip pushed harder against mine, my hands traces down his valley's of his stomach until they found their way down to his groin. and with great ease I pull his trousers down freeing his cock from the restraining fabric, and it was amazing, you thought foreign guys where good, try inter-galactic studs! For that brief second of astonishment I looked into my eyes, those wide hazel eyes hidden behind the strands of brown hair covered his brow locked onto mine as if to remind me that they'll never let go.

"You're gonna need this," I reached out to the bedside drawer for a condom, poor guy looked at me all confused and bewildered, he rested on his knees above me, leaning forward I grasped his cock, a smooth velvet skin over the steel hardness. Caressing it for his pleasure, his head rolled back basking in the sensation and slowly I slide the rubber sheath on. Without hesitation he descend passionately kissing me, my legs raising over his shoulders, hand gliding across his chest, lips on my neck, pushing my leg back further, penetrating my hole, digging in deeper. The well endowed Athosian pushed against the rim burrowing for more room to thrust it in further, there was pain, but with the slow gentle stroke, the building rhythm, the pleasure that I oh so missed returned. It was gorgeous. I couldn't hear the bed squeaking under the sound of my breathlessness, Rian pushing in deeper and withdrawing only after I just became use to sensation of the intrusion.

"You are beautiful," whoa! Don't get me wrong I like the compliment, but the smooth voice, the stare, they way his skin shone with this sexy ambience of moonlight, I think I'm falling for him with every passing second. He looked down at me, his body now dripping with sweat, and I pushed some damp hair out of his eyes. I gasped for air as his head dropped into my neck, his teeth softly nipping against the skin as he slowly motioned his cock in and out of me. And for both of us the sensation built, my own cock reaping the fruits of Rian labour, the tingling which was felt numbed my body's senses completely, nothing but the electric pleasure he gave me. My blood ran hot through every inch of my body as I experience the massive manhood being rammed into me, moaning out his name with every push. One after the other they became stronger, aggressive, the leashed animal within was breaking free of his cage, its claws gripping my hands, his teeth sinking into my nipples, its tongue licking the flesh on my neck and its lips tasting the flavour of mine. And I felt the moment, where his pleasure built to its peak all his strength and energy, his cock hardened further as had mine from the collective feeling, both of us ready, as one. His moaning echoed around the room his back straight and head tilted back, reaching the brink, desperate to release, and roaring in this throat like an animal he shot his load into me as my hands helped me with my own. Bathed in both bodily fluids he lowered himself down towards me for a final kiss, violent, powerful, and strong. "Never leave me," he asked and I couldn't think I heard those words and I replied only on instinct and not thought.

"Never"

-----

Walking out of my room that morning, I squinted at the bright dawn which shone through the corridor, bloody bright! It's too early to work, especially after last night, the hours and hours and hours and...

"Mason," I heard a voice calling,

"Colonel,"

"Call me John, McKay says we should be ready to head out, wanna give you one more go in the firing range before we leave..."

"I left the towel..." Rian walked out of my room his hair as wet as mine from our shower, emphasise on 'our', they say testosterone is highest in the morning. John froze, as if he was hit by a sudden epiphany, or found out the secret everyone knew about other than him, poor guy didn't have a clue. But the truth kinda smacked right across that pretty little face of his, bloody hell where's a camera when you need one. I had a hugest grin on my face.

"...is this a bad time?" asked the Colonel,

"I was just leaving, good day Colonel, and I'll see you soon," with a little kiss on the cheek he left down the corridor to my side. Couldn't help but watch him walk, it's a like a daydream of perfection, the way he look the way he walked, the turned around and smile before disappearing around the corner.

"Sorry...erm you were saying?"

"Firing range,"

"Right!"

"Ten hundred hours,"

"Of course, what?"

"10am,"

"Got it,"

"Get some coffee,"

"Walking,"
