Please see Author note at the end of the Chapter which will explain where the idea for this fic came from and what I ask of you the reader J Thanks

As Daniel reached Vala's quarters, he could hear music playing. He put his ear to the door and thought he heard voices beneath the sounds of the song. He backed away wondering if it was his imagination or could Vala be with someone? He turned to walk away when an intensely sensual feeling hit him and he shuddered with the sensation it gave him. He had to know what she was doing or he would never sleep that night.

Maybe she was by herself, in which case that could lead to a great deal of fun for both of them. If on the other hand she was with a military guy from the base he could get his ass kicked, so he would make his next step carefully. His brain was telling him to walk away but his other brain was telling him that Vala was having fun and he wanted some too. Especially after all the teasing she had put him through since her arrival.

Daniel pulled out the card key that opened Vala's quarters and stared at it. He had been given it since she was officially in his charge while on base. He would never have dreamed of using it before but shit happens, he thought, as he quickly swiped the card through the reader and slowly, quietly, opened the door.

He stepped in quickly and closed the door behind him with a soft click not heard by anyone in the room over the sound of the music coming from the CD player in the corner. At once, Daniel's senses were assaulted. The smell of sex was heavy in the air which was not surprising when combined with the moans and whimpers coming from the bed against the wall. The rhythmic tones of Jimmy Hendrix invaded his head as he stared without moving at the bed.

There was nothing frantic about the sexual tableau that faced him but the passion was unmistakable. He could see Vala's dark hair as she threw her head back as the loving assault on her body continued. He watched as her breasts were fondled and nipples licked. He noticed that her fingers were wet. She moaned in response to the shudder she felt and smiled. Her skin was glistening with sweat and she had a twinkle in her eye as the exploration of her body continued.

Here lips hungrily sought out those of her mate and crushed them with an obvious renewal of desire. Tender touches were interspersed with grinding hips and Daniel stood entranced by the coupling on the bed. He had never witnessed anything so erotic in his life and couldn't believe that watching the raw sex between the pair on the bed could excite him so much. He had never considered himself to be a voyeur but he couldn't tear his eyes away.

Daniel was contemplating moving over to the bed to join them when Vala looked up and for the first time saw Daniel watching. She caught his eye over her lovers shoulder. She showed no surprise that he was there, watching them, and exhibited no embarrassment that he had walked in on her love making. Without taking her mouth from the shoulder she was kissing, she silently asked his intentions.

He looked at Vala's lover and then back at Vala. He caught her eye and almost imperceptibly shook his head. She immediately understood. He would have been willing but the 'third' involved wasn't the right person. She knew that the equilibrium of SG-1 would change irreversibly and could understand why Daniel wouldn't risk that to scratch an itch.

Not only did she understand, but respected it and nodded, her eyes smiling.

Daniel knew she would visit him later to discuss what he had witnessed and also knew that she would keep it to herself that he had been in the room. She turned her attention back to her quest and Daniel noticed that the two bodies were now moving as one to the rhythm of the music and took it as his cue to leave.

Closing the door quietly behind him, he smiled. Even though he was more turned on now than when he had entered the room, he had a bizarre sense of satisfaction. Things may in fact improve now for SG-1. And if nothing else came of this encounter, at least Sam and Vala had found their own way to relieve the tension.

The End.

A/N So this little fic came into my mind having noticed a thread on the Gateworld website – the "Vala/Sam Thread" and it's discussion of how they would react to each other once Sam returned in Season 9.

Now if you don't like the pairing at the ending of this fic, fair enough, but please don't flame simply because of that. However, all feedback on the writing, good and bad is welcomed especially since this is my first M rated fic. Thanks.

BTW – For all you Sam/Jack shippers out there, my husband assures me that he wouldn't be too unhappy to find out what Sam has been doing in his absence!
