Summary : Find out how Sheppard and Lyssa's wedding plans cause chaos on Atlantis and what happens when tragedy strikes for Ellie and Lorne?
Eventually the party goers began to leave and when finally it was just Mitchell and Lyssa left, they sat on his back porch and looked at the mess that needed to be cleared away.
"We'll do it in the morning", Lyssa told Mitchell who nodded.
He got up and changed the CD that had been playing and a soft love song came on.
"Would you like to dance?", he asked Lyssa, holding his hand out to her and Lyssa smiled and despite her resolve to stay away from Mitchell after the hose pipe incident, she found herself standing and slipping her hand into his.
She was missing Sheppard like crazy and after watching Lorne and Ellie in loved-up mode all day she needed someone to just hold her.
Mitchell wrapped his arms loosely around her waist and she leaned her head against his shoulder as they swayed to the music.
She tried to imagine that it was Sheppard who had her in his arms but she couldn't. Mitchell just didn't hold her like Sheppard could.
Mitchell, on the other hand, was busy concentrating on trying to keep his body under control. The feel of Lyssa in his arms was driving him insane and he felt her head lift slightly from his shoulder as he inched his hands down a fraction, toward her bottom.
She made a small noise in the back of her throat and Mitchell thought that it meant she liked what he's just done and he cupped her bottom fully in his hands.
Lyssa's head shot up and he took the opportunity to cover her mouth with his.
Lyssa froze as Mitchell's mouth moved over hers in a sensuous onslaught and whilst she knew she should push him away, she discovered that his kiss wasn't totally unpleasant.
She came to her senses though when he pulled her in tighter against his body and she realised just how much Mitchell actually liked her and she pushed against his shoulders, wrenching her mouth from his.
Mitchell immediately let her go and they stepped apart.
"I'm sorry", they said simultaneously and then stared at one another.
"I can't……..I'm sorry….", Lyssa said and Mitchell raked a hand through his hair and took a deep breath.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that…..I know you're with Sheppard, I should never…..", he trailed off feeling bad.
"It's alright….no harm done", Lyssa said and he tried to smile as he joked,
"Don't tell Sheppard……if I ever see him again he'll shoot me".
Lyssa smiled as she nodded, "Yeah, you're probably right".
"Great….you're not supposed to say that", Mitchell said as they moved back inside the house.
Lyssa laughed as they closed the door behind them.
OoOoO
As they drove into Washington, Ellie got an inkling of an idea as to where Lorne was headed and she reached across and placed her hand on his leg.
Lorne turned and grinned at her. He could tell by her face that she'd guessed their destination and he said,
"I couldn't resist".
As they pulled up outside The Shoreham Regency Luxury Hotel, a porter emerged to take their overnight bag.
Ellie wrapped her arms around Lorne's waist as they both looked up at the front of the spectacular hotel that had been the location of the beginning of their relationship.
"The night we made love here was the best night of my life", Lorne whispered in her ear and tears pricked at Ellie's eyes as her heart constricted with love for this man.
"Mine too", she murmured as they headed inside.
As they walked through the lobby they drew some looks from other guests, Ellie still in her wedding dress and Lorne in his uniform and Ellie giggled as they checked in.
They entered the elevator and Lorne immediately cornered Ellie, his hands finding her hips amongst the layers of her skirt and she gasped as he pulled her against him, his mouth trailing kisses down along her neck and he bent to nip at the soft skin of her shoulder and she smiled as she gripped his upper arms.
"I want you so badly Ellie", Lorne said and she laughed.
"We've made love so many times since I got back home, are you not tired of me yet?", she teased and Lorne shook his head and cupped her face in his hands.
"I could never get tired of you", he told her and Ellie smiled up at him.
The elevator stopped on their floor and Ellie laughed again as she realised that it was the same floor that they'd stayed on the last time they'd been here.
"Did you plan this too?", she asked, her arms going around Lorne's neck as he scooped her up into his arms.
"You liked that four-poster bed didn't you?", Lorne asked coyly and Ellie pressed her lips to his neck.
"Very much", she replied, her voice husky with desire and Lorne's pace quickened as he moved down the hallway toward their room.
Once inside he set her down in front of the bed and her hands immediately went to his tie and she began to loosen the knot as his hands went around her to work on the ribbon that laced up the back of her dress.
Ellie smiled as Lorne got frustrated when the ribbon wouldn't co-operate and he spun her so that he could see what he was doing.
"How do I get you out of this?", he asked moving her hair to one side so that he could kiss the nape of her neck and Ellie arched her spine as she replied,
"Just loosen the ribbon".
Lorne did so and Ellie turned back to face him. She pressed against him and put her arms around his neck, then she kissed him.
He met the kiss with hungry eagerness, moaning as he wrapped his arms around her waist tightly.
Ellie pressed her breasts against him, moving her stomach against his groin and she opened her mouth so that his tongue could stroke hers, yielding to him, letting him know he could do whatever he wanted to her and she wouldn't object.
Lorne moved his hands down to cup her buttocks through the layers of organza. He pressed her tighter against him and she felt his erection, hard and demanding, straining against his trousers.
Ellie squirmed, partly because she was on fire from his kisses and partly because she was trying to arouse him further.
Lorne moaned again against her mouth and dragging up the layers of her dress, his hands finally found her bare skin. He found the apex of her thighs and Ellie's legs trembled as he slipped a finger inside her silken panties and stroked her. She clutched him tightly, her lips moving to his throat.
"Evan..", she said his name almost pleadingly and suddenly he released her, her skirt falling back to her feet as he stepped away from her and Ellie thought she would go mad with impatience as she watched him begin to remove his clothes.
She watched as his perfect body was revealed to her and she sighed dreamily.
He owned her heart, her soul and her body and she loved him as she had never loved anyone before.
He smiled as though he had read her mind and she blushed as he came back to her and helped her out of her dress.
He groaned loudly as he saw she wore ivory coloured hold-up stockings.
Stockings were a favourite of his and Ellie had been wearing a pair the first time they had made love properly.
"You wore these especially for me?", he asked, his hands stroking down her thighs as he knelt in front of her and Ellie could only nod as he removed her panties leaving her stood in nothing except the stockings.
Ellie gasped as Lorne grasped her buttocks and buried his face in her feminine mound. He lifted one of her thighs and hooked it over his shoulder, his tongue sliding across her moist folds and Ellie's head dropped back as she cried out in pleasure.
Her hands delved into his hair to anchor herself upright as an orgasm gripped her, surprising them both by its swift arrival.
"Oh….God…..Evan…..", she managed as he stood and lifted her against him as he walked toward the bed and then pressed her down into the huge king-sized mattress.
Suddenly she couldn't wait, "Please….", she whispered, knowing he would understand.
Lorne guided the tip of himself to her entrance and thrust in deeply, more deeply than she had expected and she gasped and fought for control, trying to catch her breath. Lorne shifted position, stroking slowly and her body relaxed and she arched her hips, spreading her legs wider, offering him everything.
"I never thought I'd ever feel this happy", Ellie said.
"Well get used to it because I intend to make you the happiest woman on Earth." Lorne told her.
"You mean Atlantis?", she said, her voice sounding breathless as he pushed his hard body into her again and again.
"Wherever we are…..", he said.
"Promise me we'll never be apart again", Ellie said, her hands reaching up to touch his face and Lorne slowed his movements as he looked down into her eyes.
He rested his weight on his elbows and stroked a stray curl away from her forehead. He adored her mouth, her nose, the curve of her cheek……
"I promise. I love you Ellie Lorne", he said and she smiled at him lovingly.
"I love you too".
Lorne lowered his head and kissed her. He lunged at the same time, stroking his body deeply into hers, feeling her womb, feeling her body convulse around him, tight and demanding as she came again.
She forced him over the edge and after one more deep thrust Lorne lost control and he moaned loudly as his body spilled into hers.
As they both floated back to reality Ellie murmured,
"I'm so glad you gave me a second chance……I made such a mess of everything".
Lorne shook his head and stoked her face tenderly,
"We lost our baby, no-one can predict how they'll react or cope with something like that. You did what you thought you needed to".
"But you were the one person I needed the most and I pushed you away when you were hurting too", Ellie said, her eyes filling with tears and Lorne kissed her and wiped her tears away with his thumb.
"Don't cry, we're together now and nothing will separate us ever again….I won't let anything or anyone come between us", he said, his mouth teasing hers tentatively, then his tongue delved into her mouth when she succumbed to his kiss.
They made love and whispered words of love to one another well into the night, finally falling to sleep wrapped around one another.
The next morning they quickly stopped off at Lorne's mom's to say goodbye to her and received yet another heartfelt apology and Ellie even got a hug which she returned happily.
Once they left his mom with a promise to get in touch as soon as they could, Ellie made Lorne stop off at a convenience store on their way back to Mitchell's so that she could pick up the stuff Rodney had asked for and Lorne laughed when she told him what Mckay had planned.
"I think it's sweet of him", Ellie said and Lorne just laughed even harder.
"I just can't see how he's going to manage it on Atlantis", he said and Ellie shrugged as she placed the bag of supplies onto the back seat.
"That's down to Rodney", she said.
