Summary: Will the events of 'that night' force Ronon and Ellie and Sheppard and Lyssa apart for good this time or can love win out once more?
Thank you to Kazavid for her help with part of this Chapter - much appreciated.
After Sheppard was given a good roasting by Dr Weir for his unsuitable behaviour, things seemed to calm down a little.
He respected Lyssa's wish for him to stay away from her, as did Tyler and some semblance of normality returned to Atlantis.
Ellie continued to see Lorne in secret and avoided Ronon even though she knew he deserved to know what was going on.
Tyler had been positioned on Lorne's team to replace Lyssa for the time being.
One afternoon, Lorne's team was hovering in the gate room, waiting to leave when Ronon approached Ellie.
Lorne feigned indifference as he heard Ronon say.
"What're you doing tonight…I need to see you?".
Ellie forced herself not to look at Lorne. They hadn't made any plans for later as of yet and she squirmed uncomfortably as Ronon continued to look at her expectantly.
"Ah…tonight…that would be ok, I guess", she said and Ronon nodded.
"Kate will watch Hope…come to my room when you're ready", Ronon said and Ellie stiffened at the mention of Kate Heightmeyer's name.
She nodded and Ronon moved off. She turned to face the gate which had just burst into life and noticed that Lorne wouldn't look at her.
Sighing, she followed him, Tyler and Franks through the gate as they went off-world.
The mission did not go as planned and as they were getting ready to leave the planet they found their selves under fire from the locals.
"I'll go dial up the gate", Ellie said but as she went to move away Lorne grabbed her back pack and hauled her back to his side.
"No…you stay with me…", he said retuning fire on the enemy and Ellie looked back at the position of the gate compared to where the hostiles were positioned.
The coast was clear and she took off at a run, determined to get the gate dialled up so they could get home.
"Ellie…!!", Lorne bellowed as he saw her take off across the open expanse between them and the gate.
He cursed as he had no option but to cover her as she dialled Atlantis and punched in their IDC.
Tyler and Franks, on his command, began to make their way to the gate, still firing upon the enemy.
OOoOO
Sheppard's team were waiting to go off-world on a short reconnaissance mission and were stood in the gate room waiting for Major Lorne's team to come back through so that they could leave.
Sheppard tapped his foot impatiently and Weir smiled at him as the gate kawooshed into life.
"There you go Colonel, not long now and you can be on your way", she said and he nodded. He didn't like hanging around, he was still working up to seeing Lyssa and he wanted to get back.
Tyler and Franks came back through first, shortly followed by Ellie and Lorne who appeared to be arguing about something.
Sheppard raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ronon who was trying to remain impassive as Lorne grabbed Ellie's arm as she went to stalk away from him.
"What the hell were you playing at out there?", Lorne said harshly and Ellie spun to face him wrenching her arm from his grasp.
"Someone had to dial the gate up", she snapped and everyone in the gate room turned to watch with interest.
Ellie and Lorne seemed oblivious to this fact and Lorne stepped closer to her, his face inches from hers.
"You disobeyed a direct command", he said angrily, "I told you to stay with me".
"Look, nothing happened, we all got back ok….what's the problem?", Ellie asked and Lorne shook his head in disbelief.
"What's the problem?", he repeated, his voice growing louder as he continued,
"I'll tell you what the damn problem is Ellie. We're not in the bedroom now and whilst you're out there", and he jabbed a finger toward the gate before continuing,
"As a member of my team you'll do exactly as 'I tell you. You could have been killed and so in future you do as you're told or you can get the hell off of my team. Is that clear?"
By the time he had finished he was almost bellowing and Ellie and the rest of the gate room stared at him, they were trying to digest the fact that he had indirectly told them all that they were sleeping together and Ellie was just shocked that he was shouting at her like this.
She glared at him.
"I think you've made it pretty crystal", she replied hotly.
Turning, she saw everyone gawping at them and she said,
"What are you lot staring at?", as she stomped away.
Lorne looked around, avoiding Sheppard's, Weir's and especially Ronon's gazes as he went to follow Ellie up the steps.
"Major Lorne", Weir said and he paused and turned to look at her.
"Briefing in my office….ten minutes", she said and he nodded.
"Yes ma'am".
Ellie reached the top of the stairs to find Lyssa was looking at her strangely.
"You're sleeping with Major Lorne?", Lyssa asked incredulously and Ellie groaned.
"Lyssa…", she began but Lyssa turned and walked away, leaving Ellie to watch her retreating back.
OOoOO
"Now look what you've done!" Ellie said, spinning around to face Lorne as he entered her quarters following his briefing with Weir.
"What have I done?", he asked, feigning ignorance. Maybe if he played dumb...
"You just told everyone in the Gate room that we're sleeping together", she shouted.
"I did?", he said frowning, his face turned a little pink as he realized the enormity of what he'd done.
"Well they were bound to find out sooner or later," he said.
"I'd have preferred it to be later, after I'd had a chance to tell my best friend and my husband", Ellie explained.
"Well if you hadn't disobeyed me..." Lorne said, remembering how afraid he'd been that she'd be hurt.
"If I hadn't disobeyed you, we wouldn't be here," Ellie told him, not understanding why he kept going on at her about her behaviour.
"I need to know you'll follow orders when I give you them", Lorne told her. It was only for her own protection and he didn't want to have to worry about anything he said, wondering if she would follow his instructions or not.
"I understand that, but sometimes orders need to be broken", she said, giving him an innocent look.
Lorne decided to leave it for now, besides his mind was on other things at the moment, like how good Ellie looked naked and how much he wanted her lying beneath him.
"So, now that we're no longer on duty," Lorne said moving a little closer to Ellie. "Did I mention how beautiful you are?" he said smiling, his eyes gazing into hers lovingly.
Ellie groaned, she couldn't resist him when he acted so cute.
"You're not getting off the hook that easy..." she told him, but didn't get to finish as he pressed his mouth over hers.
"We can't do this right now", Ellie gasped as she pulled her mouth away from him.
"Why not?", Lorne wanted to know, pressing his mouth back over hers and kissing her almost senseless.
"Lorne, we only just got in the door, what if someone knocks?"
"We don't have to answer it", he said as his hands began unbuttoning and unzipping her clothes, peeling them from her piece by piece.
When Ellie was standing in nothing but her panties, Lorne stood back and took in the view before him, she was so perfect, petite and voluptuous. He quickly dragged his clothes off and pulled her over to the bed.
"Evan...", Ellie tried to object but he didn't give her a chance to say much as he kissed her into silence.
"Unless you're gonna say how much you want this, I don't want to hear it", he whispered as he kissed her neck.
Ellie sighed, then groaned as he started kissing behind her ear.
"Mm, Evan...", she murmured, her body sinking in to him.
He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly while he lowered them both down to the bed. He stroked his hands over her breasts, untill she was writhing under his caresses, then he used his lips and tongue on her, suckling against her breasts.
Ellie pressed her hands against the back of his head, her fingers ruffling through his hair. He lightly bit down with his teeth on her nipples, moving from one to the other untill she was shivering with the pleasure.
"Evan...I want you", she moaned, her hand reaching down for his hardened shaft which was pressing against the side of her hip.
"I want you too, so much", he told her, moving his body against hers.
When her hand gripped his erection and she caressed along the length, he groaned and pressed more firmly in to her hand. If he didn't pull back he'd be finished before they'd started, he thought.
He pulled her hand away and rolled onto his back, he glanced at her and saw her watching him, her eyes telling him how eager to be with him she was.
"Why don't you get the protection and put it on", he told her, his voice hoarse with emotion.
Ellie reached for the packet and ripped it open. She began covering his erection with the condom, her fingers stroking and pressing as she rolled it down on his shaft.
Lorne was in agony and his body was trembling as she took her time. When she finally finished he was so hot and hard and just needing to be inside of her that he couldn't wait. He grabbed her and rolled over, his weight settling between her thighs.
"How much do you want me?", he asked her, kissing her.
"More than anything", Ellie told him, her body seemed to be vibrating with her need for him.
Evan groaned and entered her but immediately stilled, he was too aroused and needed a few seconds to calm down.
When he'd calmed down some, he pulled his body back and he could feel her muscles squeezing, caressingly, along his shaft. He took it slowly for the first few thrusts, easing his body back and forth, till he felt Ellie moving restlessly beneath him. He knew she wanted more so he moved harder against her, driving his hips faster and deeper.
"I still can't believe were back on Atlantis and still together", Evan groaned, his body jerking as Ellie pressed her hips hard into his.
"Shut up and make love to me", Ellie moaned, mind and body solely focused on Evan and the pleasure he was giving her.
She cried out as her orgasm hit, her stomach clenched and trembled as the sensation of pleasure hit her over and over.
Evan was pushed over the edge by his own climax, his hips thrust down into Ellie as he came. His back arched as the pleasure shot through his body, he held Ellie tightly in his arms and whispered against her ear how much he cared for her.
Ellie sighed blissfully as she floated back down to reality, her fingers lazily tracing Lorne's spine.
He eased off of her and lay by her side, his arm across her abdomen.
"So…", Lorne began and Ellie turned her head to look at him.
"So……what?", she asked and Lorne frowned.
"What do you think Ronon wants to see you about?", he asked and Ellie turned onto her side properly to face him.
"I don't know", she replied truthfully.
"What if he asks you to go back to him?", Lorne asked and Ellie touched his face with her hand.
"Evan…..", she said his name but he pulled her hand away and looked at her seriously.
"Do you still love him?", he asked.
Ellie sighed deeply and nodded,
"Yes…..I still love Ronon……..", she replied and Lorne closed his eyes as dismay spread through his heart.
