Day 10- What Happens in Vegas...

Rodney laid back in a padded double lounge chair, drifting somewhere between awake and sleep. He and Jennifer had arrive late the previous evening, proceeded to gamble for several hours before retiring to their room. He was about to drift off into a dream when he felt a tug at his shirt, "Nobody is home."

"Well that is a shame," Jennifer circled her arm around his. "Aren't you hot wearing that t-shirt?

He shrugged, "Maybe a little, but the sun is too strong and I burn easily." There was an almost whine to his tone. "Besides I would blind most people with how pale I am."

"I've seen you without your shirt and you are not as pale as you think," she started placing several kisses along Rodney's jaw line.

"I think you just like me with as little clothing as possible," Rodney teased. He felt his cheeks go red. The physicist had never been one for public displays of affection, but then he never had a woman like Jennifer willing to kiss him in public. This was something he could get very used to.

Jennifer rested her head on his shoulder, "Well I have to test the goods before I decide to make a lifelong commitment," she said with an obvious tease.

"Oh, really now? And what have you decided?" he played along with her game.

"That I have found the man I want to grow old with," she sighed. This was much more relaxing than all the tension that hung in the air in Vancouver. Jennifer dreaded to think that there was only a few more days of this before they would be cooped up in the Daedalus for almost three weeks.

"Guess that makes me very lucky," Rodney said with a grin as he turned on his side to look at the woman of his dreams.

"Very lucky," Jennifer slid her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a smoldering kiss. There was little risk of them running into anyone they knew so she could be a little more forward in public than she normally would. "I am very lucky as well," the physician managed to get out between kisses.

Rodney groaned as he pulled away from the kiss, needing oxygen to his brain, "Hm. That definitely made it feel about ten degrees hotter." He took a deep breath and could feel the flush from his cheeks spread elsewhere. "Think I need to cool off in the pool," he pulled the t-shirt off and tossed it behind him.

"Have fun," she waved and then picked up his shirt that was thrown next to her. "The hives are total healed."

"They have been for a while now," he pointed out. "Try not to miss me too much."

Jennifer rolled her eyes, "I won't." She was still a little dizzy from the kiss and she wanted to use the time away from him to plan a special evening for them. It was about time she put to use the handcuffs and massage oil she purchased. A nice evening alone, order room service and not leaving the bed until morning. A perfect evening indeed.

The hard part was planning the menu. Besides taking Rodney's food allergies into account, Jennifer had to decide how big of a meal it should be. She thought finger foods would be fun and sensuous at the same time.

"Jennifer is that you?" a voice distracted her from the planning.

She knew the voice without looking up, "Josh? What are you doing here?" Jennifer was stunned to see the man who was supposed to pick her father up from the airport.

"I am here to visit my brother. Imagine my shock when I picked up your father yesterday and he said you were going to be here too," Josh shifted nervously from foot to foot.

"Really?" Jennifer sounded skeptical. Last she heard his brother was living in Texas. Instinctively she held Rodney's shirt against her as she did not want him looking at her. There was an odd vibe coming from the muscular man in front of her and it made the doctor very uneasy. "What else did my dad tell you?" she was never comfortable with the friendship her father had with her ex.

Josh bit the inside of his cheek, "He mentioned that you got engaged the other day." His eyes went to the ring on her left hand and thought it would easily cost half his yearly salary. "Congratulations," his words were hollow, but he tried to pretend to be happy. Scott had gotten his hopes up when the older man had expressed interest in reuniting the former couple. Josh was confused when the father and daughter left suddenly disappeared and then being called a few days later to pick the elder Keller up at the airport in St. Paul. He was crushed when Scott told him the reason he went to Vancouver and what happened while they were there.

"Thank you," she said in an even uncomfortable tone. "I thought your brother lived in Texas."

"He moved here a couple of months ago. He works as a cashier in the casino here," he lied. Josh wanted to see for himself that everything her father said was true. "Where is the lucky guy that has taken you off the market?" He wanted to see what this man was about as Scott had raved about him on the two hour car ride from the airport.

Something about his tone really bothered her, "He's in the pool." Jennifer looked around to see where Rodney was. "Should be back any time now."

"How is that job of yours that you can't talk about?" he tried to make small talk. Josh could not keep his eyes off the woman in front of him. He was almost drooling.

Jennifer inwardly groaned at the attention paid to her. There was a good reason they had broken up and his creepy behavior like this was reason number one, "It's good. We head back in a few days." Where the hell are you, Rodney?

By her last comment Josh assumed the two had to work together. "That's a shame," he said with a creepy smirk.

Rodney scowled as he returned with two bottles of water. He was gone fifteen minutes and there was someone already hitting on his fiancée. "Got us water," he handed Jennifer one of the bottles. He was staring daggers at the other man.

"Thanks, sexy," she took the bottle from him, relieved that Rodney had finally come back. "Rodney, this is the guy I was telling you about. The one who picked my dad up from the airport."

"Oh," he made a face. The creepy ex. "Josh, was it?" This put a whole new spin on things.

Josh was shocked at Rodney's appearance. He was far from the image that he had formed in his head with the way Scott spoke of him. "Your future father-in-law speaks very highly of you." The creepy man was having difficulty understanding what Jennifer saw in him; he was older and not the typical man he knew Jennifer to go for.

Rodney perked up at the mention of Scott talking highly about him, "Really?" he was shocked.

"Please. With the way you two were best buds in the airport I was wondering if I was going to have to plan your wedding to him instead of ours," Jennifer shot her fiancé a playful grin. She wanted to be rid of her ex, "It was nice seeing you, Josh, but we have a couples massage in ten minutes."

The built man frowned at the rejection. It was clear she wanted to get rid of him. "Don't let me keep you then," he looked down at his feet and grumbled as he walked away.

"I see why you broke up with him. Weird isn't the word," Rodney saved the words for when the man was out of earshot. "Did you really schedule a massage for us?"

Jennifer shook her head, "No. Just wanted to get rid of him, but if you play your cards right you might get one later," she leaned over and kissed his ear lobe. And much more.

Several Hours Later

Rodney was in the bathroom, shaving when he heard the phone ring. He was curious as to who would call their room, but he pushed those thoughts out of his head when he heard Jennifer hang up the phone, "What do you want to do tonight? Dinner then roulette?"

Jennifer snuck up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, "I was thinking something a little different." Her hand slid into the opening of Rodney's robe.

"Where do you think you are going with that hand?" he said with a slight laugh. IT was not staying in one place very long. Please don't tease me. "Does what you are thinking mean we are not leaving the room tonight?" If it did, it would be better than an evening of roulette.

"Something like that," she said with a mischievous grin. Jennifer removed her hand from his robe and placed both hands on his back. "Is this what we've become? Matching robes? What's next?" she teased. Her head rested on his back, feeling content. It was one of these moments that Jennifer wish she could freeze in time. A quiet simple moment. The first of, she hoped, many like it.

"Canes, walkers, being pushed in wheelchairs by the grandkids," Rodney still expected to wake up in Atlantis and find himself alone. This felt too good to be true.

"Funny. Real funny," she still liked the way it sounded. "I am going to hold you to those things." Jennifer smiled to herself. Yes, life with him was going to be very good.

His trademark smug smirk made an appearance, "What are your plans for me tonight?"

The woman started to laugh, "Before I came to Vancouver I picked up a few things I thought we could have fun with." Jennifer pushed herself away from him, "And that is all I am going to say for now." She let her robe drop to reveal the red sheer teddy underneath.

Rodney's jaw dropped as he saw Jennifer's reflection in the mirror. "Wow," he turned to face her. This was only further proof that this was a dream. His eyes were glued on the see-through material.

Jennifer pulled the robe back up and tied it, "That has to wait until food gets here."

He sighed heavily, "Oh, that is so wrong. So very very wrong." It was not fair that she was teasing him like this, but it was also a bit of a turn on. "How much longer? The phone call..."

She nodded, "Room service. Confirming my request. It will be about an hour and half." Jennifer waved before leaving the bathroom.

Rodney gulped hard, knowing it was going to be a long hour and half. "What else does your devious brain have planned for little ole innocent me?" he was pouting as he sat down next to his fiancée on the couch.

"Hands off. Innocent? Yeah right," Jennifer slapped his hand away from her robe ties. "Different finger foods, handcuffs and massage oil."

"Did you say handcuffs?" his eyes went wide.

She nodded, "I did. Don't worry they aren't metal. So I won't hurt you...too much." A very wicked grin spread across her face/

"We are going to be sore in the morning aren't we?" Rodney asked, thinking he was going to see a side of the normally reserved doctor that no one had seen before.

"Hopefully," Jennifer kissed him to hold him over to the food arrived.

End A/N: I know a certain someone mentioned wanting a tag when Jennifer bought the items and the time is here, but I am no good a writing M rated stuff so if someone wants to do it you are more then welcome.
