"Ronon? What are you doing here? You should be in the infirmary." Jennifer said on seeing the big Satedan in her doorway.
"So should you." He replied, leaning heavily against the frame on the door.
"I was thrown out."
"I know." Ronon replied, the undertone of anger was apparent.
"But you don't have that excuse." Jennifer commented.
"I walked out. The medical staff didn't complain."
"You shouldn't have left." Jennifer chastised. "And intimidating the staff is no excuse." She said raising herself off the bunk so she stood in the middle of her quarters.
"I wanted to see you." Ronon said.
"But you can hardly stand." Jennifer commented noticing how Ronon was leaning on the frame for support.
"You could invite me in so I could sit." Ronon suggested.
"Oh right. Sorry, come in." Jennifer belatedly invited.
Ronon smiled and staggered into the room so he stood in front of Jennifer.
"You ok?" He asked, trying to mask his pain from Jennifer.
"Yes." Jennifer replied looking at Ronon through concerned eyes. After a long awkward silence she gave up on Ronon speaking and said. "You could have asked me that over the radio, without leaving the infirmary."
"It wasn't what I came here to say." Ronon said before falling silent again. Jennifer decided that this time it was best to wait him out. Finally he asked. "You know that everything you heard back on Atlantis and what McKay said was wrong?"
"Yes." Jennifer confirmed.
"And there was no bet?"
"Yes."
"Good." Ronon said before pausing. "I don't want you to think that this is because of a bet."
"Think what is part of a-" Jennifer started to ask before Ronon placed his mouth over hers. Her open mouth allowing him full access. After the shock had warn off Jennifer found herself kissing back before they broke for air.
Ronon noticed that Jennifer stood eyes wide and mouth ajar. "You ok?" He asked, worried if he had done the wrong thing.
"Hmmm." Jennifer managed a small noise rather than a coherent sentence.
"Perhaps I should go?" Ronon suggested. Jennifer immediately placed her hand on the top of his shirt and moved closer so their lips touched again. Not wanting to waste the invitation Ronon placed his hands on Jennifer's hips, prevented from moving his arms further round by the pain in his ribs. As the kiss deepened they became lost in each other and the moment. Neither realised that the door to Jennifer's quarters was still open. Nor did they notice the small but growing crowd gathering outside the quarters. That was until they heard McKay.
"For pities sake. Can't one of you figure out how to shut a door?" Jennifer completely taken by surprise jumped out of Ronon's arms revealing her flushed face to the crowd. Ronon slowly turned round and glared menacingly at all the onlookers. His scowl was enough to clear the corridor of everyone apart from a rather crest fallen Rodney McKay.
"Rodney?" Jennifer finally managed to say.
"Yes. I was just checking you were ok. But clearly you are busy swapping saliva so I will leave you to it." He said as his hand ran over the console outside the door causing it to hiss shut.
Ronon looked down at Jennifer and saw her reddened face. "You ok?" He asked moving closer to her.
"Yeah. That was kind of unexpected."
"In a good or bad way?" Ronon asked.
"Good. Definitely good." She answered casing a grin to sweep over Ronon's face.
"That's good." He commented as he leaned in to kiss her again.
This time Jennifer pulled away and said. "No, this is wrong."
"You don't want this?" Ronon asked confused and unsure.
"No I do." Jennifer said.
"Then what's he problem." Ronon asked, sounding more confident but no less confused as he leaned in for another kiss. This time Jennifer did not resist straight away and allowed Ronon's tongue to sensually explore her mouth. But eventually she pulled away from Ronon and said breathlessly.
"You should be in the infirmary."
"I think I'd get better care here." He said as he tried to capture Jennifer's mouth again. This time Jennifer was more resolute in her defences.
"Well the type of care you need will be better in the infirmary." Jennifer argued taking an awkward step back. Causing Ronon to let out a deep frustrated growl. "The more you rest now the sooner you will be fully healed."
"I could rest here." Ronon suggested, taking a step towards Jennifer, which sent a wave of pain through his ribs and a grimace to cross his face. The grimace was enough for Jennifer's professional medical mode to fully kick in.
"We both know you wouldn't be resting if you stayed. So back to the infirmary now." She ordered. Ronon just stared at her.
"If you go now and are a good boy, maybe I will visit you in your quarters to check on your recovery when we are back in Atlantis." Jennifer said.
"You offer that service to everyone?" Ronon asked.
"Only the good patients." Jennifer answered causing a flash of jealously to flash in Ronon's eyes. "But you will get special treatment."
"Special?" Ronon asked. "Like what?"
Jennifer raised herself up so her lips were almost touching Ronon's and said. "Unless you go back to the infirmary right now you will never find out." Before pulling away, picking up her crutches and moving to the door. Ronon let out another growl but followed.
