Ch. 5: Did Someone Turn Up the Heat?
Summary: Things heat up as the base begins to fall apart under Vala's spell. Little examples of just how helpful Daniel Jackson can be.

Base operations were seriously affected. General Landry even suspended gate activity until he could reconnect with his beloved Vala. The women on base couldn't help but notice that the men acted strange the minute Vala walked into the room or even passed by in a corridor. It was as if they could detect her scent. None of the women understood it and some were alarmed, but no one dared to go over General Landry's head.
No matter how hard Daniel tried to explain the situation to Landry or his teammates, they still ignored his pleas for self-control. It was as if they never heard him say that they were under the influence of a witch's spell. And there was still no word from the old woman about the antidote.
He and Vala walked down yet another hallway. Sgt. Silar approached them from the other end. "Uh oh," Daniel said. "Monkey-boy is back." He pulled Vala into an embrace and kissed her lightly on the lips. It was oh-so-sweet for her. The Sergeant turned on his heels and walked the other way.

Daniel sat at his desk studying an artifact and taking notes. Through his open door, he heard footsteps and a few shouts of undying devotion. Vala ran in and cowered next to him in fear. A set of three marines followed her in. They had the goofiest smiles on their faces. Daniel pulled Vala down onto his lap, leaned her back, then kissed her passionately in front of the men. They left the room without a word.
The two unlocked their lips. Vala stood up. "Thanks."
"No problem." She left the room. Daniel went back to work.

Daniel and Vala sat across from each other in the commissary. They munched away happily, glad to see only women in the room. A few of them eyed Dr. Jackson, wondering how he managed to receive all of Vala's attention when all other men received none. Dr. Lee and his assistants strolled in for lunch and immediately caught sight of the former space pirate.
Daniel didn't give them a chance to greet her. He leaned over the table to give Vala a quick peck on the lips. They blinked, looked at their surroundings, then got in line with lunch trays. Vala giggled.

Some men required more of a show than others. Often, the ones who worked closely with Vala were those men. Thus, General Landry, Colonel Mitchell, and Teal'c were difficult to pacify. Individually. When all three of them came running toward Vala from the other end of a corridor, Daniel nearly panicked.
Mitchell started, "Oh Vala! How 'bout that date, beautiful!"
Teal'c continued, "I await your answer to my proposal, ValaMalDoran."
And Landry ended, "Vala, I ordered the kitchen to prepare a special meal for the two of us!"
The woman in question let out another one of her nervous laughs. She was doing more of that lately. Anger overcame Daniel as he observed these three suitors trying to take away his girl. 'Since when was she my girl?' he wondered in his head. When the pack drew nearer, the alpha male in Daniel emerged.
He pushed her on the wall aggressively and grabbed her hands, holding them up above her head. His mouth attacked hers with a desire and desperation she had never felt from him before. The rest of his body trapped hers against the wall. The sensation of being dominated by this hungry man aroused her. She responded by kissing back harder and snaking her leg up his thigh. A small moan escaped from the foray of tongues lashing about in their mouths.
Daniel felt a tap on his shoulder. He ignored it for the moment. Vala's hands had escaped their prison and were sneaking up his shirt to gently massage his back. It felt so good.
"Uhhh, Daniel?" Mitchell asked.
They didn't stop kissing.
"Dr. Jackson, do you mind?" Landry asked with an annoyed tone.
Daniel freed a hand and swatted at them like flies. His mouth remained locked on Vala's. She moaned in pleasure. She broke the kiss and began sucking on his earlobe, making sure it was the side that all three spectators could see. Daniel's mouth hung open, savoring her touch. His hands began to roam freely.
Teal'c blinked, then Mitchell, then Landry. They looked around, then at each other, barely noticing the two people making out on the wall. Confused, they muttered greetings and apologies and walked off in different directions.
The sound of footsteps retreating signaled the end to this show. Reluctantly, Daniel pulled away, licking his lips. He could still taste her. Vala rested her head back on the wall and breathed in deeply. She let out a deep sigh as a smile crept onto her lips. When her eyes fluttered open, Daniel had disappeared.

TBC… Next time: Daniel and Vala's public displays of affection intensify. Sam returns. The base finally gets relief.
