Daniel sat on a chaise longue-like sofa in a place that seemed to be a private audience room. Apparently he was alone, but suddenly he got company: Somebody familiar entered the room, it was Sarah.

She sat down next to him and whispered: "I love you, Daniel."

As her face came closer to his for a kiss, Daniel shoved her away.

"What are you doing here?" he inquired suspiciously.

"The question is what you are doing here. I've come to this place before you did", she returned, indicating that she was equally confused.

"Well, then I hope Yasir hasn't been too crude with you", he retorted in a slightly worried way.

Sarah frowned, "Who's Yasir? Daniel, are you sure you're all right?"

"Perfectly, thank you", Daniel said cynically, "So, she's sent you, hasn't she?"

"No", she moved a bit more away from him, "Who is this woman at all? I don't even know her. Maybe you could tell me something more..."

Daniel rolled his eyes toward the ceiling calling, "Oh, come on, Yas. You won't get any information from me like this."

"According to Tok'ra intel the warlord on the planet calls herself Yasir of Sidon. She's pretty new in Baal's ranks, but has already worked herself up to a certain reputation. She's said to be extremely cruel, especially when it comes to punishing subordinates and nonbelievers", Sam reported to Jack, Teal'C and Hammond.

"So we've seen", her CO confirmed with a sigh.

"Does the report say anything about unconventional powers she possesses?" General Hammond asked.

"Not really, Sir", the major replied, "but in a way it is mentioned that she isn't really Goa'uld."

Jack rolled his eyes, "Welp, we've already figured out that much on our own."

Now Teal'C turned to the general, "Would you now see the possibility of a rescue mission?"

"Well, Teal'C", Hammond frowned thoughtfully, "based on that intel it is still hard to tell. But I've already taken the idea into closer consideration..."

Jack eyed his CO for a moment, then stated, "Honestly, Sir, we can't really leave Daniel hanging in that one."

"Especially not when that Yasir is as cruel as it says here", Sam added.

"You're right, people", the general admitted at once, "Colonel, take your team together, but I have to ask you to be extremely careful over there, I don't want to lose any more people."

"Understood, Sir", Jack stood up, "Thank you very much."

The change of location came so sudden that Daniel lost his breath. From one millisecond to another he was lying on his back merely wearing his t-shirt and underpants. Yasir's face was closely perched over his and her hands clasped tightly around his wrists.

From the corner of his eye Daniel could see that they were situated on a huge round bed in the center of a wide, only scarcely lit room. About a dozen female servants, only dressed into light, translucent robes were standing in a circle around it.

"No, obviously you still won't give me what I want"; Yasir sighed with played resignation.

"Nope", Daniel retorted, "but maybe it'd help if you left Sarah out of it."

"Because you don't feel for her anymore?" she smirked thinly.

Daniel eyed her coolly, "Right."

"Liar", she hissed, then imitated him, " 'I hope Yasir wasn't too crude with you.' What about that, huh? You know exactly that I hate it when people lie to me like that."

Daniel half-closed his eyes, "I know", he sighed in an unnerved way, "Uh, and would you mind to stop passing these lascivious looks at me all the time?" he tried to cover his eyes with a hand, but he could hardly move his outstretched arms, so he turned his face away.

Yasir let out an angered grown, "Seemingly you're not at all aware of the fact that you've just rejected my last peaceful offer to obtain information from you without being hurt. So now you'll suffer for your lack of cooperation..."

Suddenly her voice trailed off and she appeared to be distracted by something else, but only for an extremely short instant then her face returned to Daniel, a triumphant smile on her lips.

"Sorry for the interruption", her face now showed sardonic pleasure, "Let's get back to what I was saying."

Her evil laugh made Daniel freeze inwardly but still he tried to look calm, trying to tease her once again:

"What exactly? See, you're talking too much again...", he mocked her, but soon realized that it was already too late for that:

Yasir had just rolled over so that she lay by his side, still grasping his wrists. With a motion of her head she ordered two of the servants to tear off his shirt. Some moments later she was hovering over him again. Slowly she pressed her body against his.

Daniel started to sense a tingling feeling that quickly extended into an unbearable burning that spread out both over his body and mind until he could no longer grasp one clear thought. Yasir had entered his mind again and he could hear her cold, gloating words:

I've got news for you. Your friends are coming, but they won't find you here. You're lost... to me and my powers.

So, tension's building up. Hope ya still like it and I'm not getting too bodily, here.

Oh, and on the round bed: I saw one of these at IKEA not that long ago.
