Summary : Lorne owes Ellie his life and not for the first time but when payback time comes, will the Major be able to do what needs to be done to stop her turning to another for help?
Lorne awoke and smiled as he felt Ellie's soft warm body curled against him and he sighed in relief as he realised that it hadn't been just a wonderful dream.
He really didn't want to leave her but he was due on duty for the first security sweep of the day.
As daylight began to filter through the balcony doors, he turned his head to one side, hoping to see a clock on Ellie's bedside table and his eyes widened as he saw a huge fluffy bumble bee with a clock face in its tummy.
Suppressing a smile he saw that he needed to get going and he eased his arm out from under Ellie's shoulders, lowering her gently onto the pillows.
He watched her for a moment, unable to resist.
She was so sweet and every time he looked at her he got the overwhelming urge to protect her from anything that might hurt her, a far cry from the days when he had wanted to kill her himself. He now understood why the Lorne from the other Atlantis had been so crazy about his Ellie.
'How things could change', he mused.
When had she stopped becoming annoying? When had she managed to worm her little way under his skin?
Shaking his head, he reached out and gently moved a stray curl of her hair away from her cheek and she sighed in her sleep, the sound one of contentment and he smiled, thinking how he intended to keep her happy and contented for a very long time to come.
Reluctantly he got out of the bed and covered Ellie over with the duvet before bending to retrieve his clothes. He dressed as quietly as possible then, upon seeing that Ellie was still sleeping, he looked around for a pen and some paper, his eyes scanning her desk and, seeing what he needed he moved over to it and wrote her a note.
He left it on the bedside, bent and kissed her forehead and then, collecting his ear-piece, let himself out of her quarters, securing the door behind him.
No-one saw him leave as no-one was around and he headed back to his own quarters to take a quick shower before he began his shift.
Ellie sighed and stretched languorously as she awoke and she snuggled her face into her pillows, not wanting to get up just yet…and that was when she caught Lorne's scent on her bedding.
Her head snapped up as the previous night came flooding back to her in glorious Technicolor and she blushed and glanced around to find him gone. She strained her ears to see if she could hear any noise coming from her bathroom but upon hearing nothing, she sat up and she spotted the note on the bedside drawers.
She reached out and snatched the piece of paper up and unfolded it.
It read :-
Ellie
Last night was more than I ever dreamt it could be too, I just hope you still feel the same way.
I'd really like to continue to see you, that is if you'd like to continue seeing me. If you don't want to see me, that's okay too but I hope you give us a chance, because what I felt last night, with you, was more than I've ever felt with anyone else.
So if you want to see me, you know where to find me.
Waiting to hear from you,
Evan.
Holding the note to her heart, she sighed dreamily and flopped back against the pillows, grinning from ear to ear.
'Do I want to continue seeing you', she murmured to herself, 'Do I ever', she giggled happily, rolling onto her stomach and burying her head into her pillows again to breathe in his scent one last time before getting up and heading for the shower.
When she was showered and dressed she opened up her lap top and brought up the staff rota schedules. First she checked herself, smiling when she saw that Beckett had in fact put her down for the whole week off and then she checked Lorne's.
She noted that he had been on the first security sweep which must have been why he had left so early and then after that he was just down for desk duty which meant he would be in his office all day, catching up on paperwork.
Shutting down the laptop she then left her quarters and headed for Weir's office, her head held high now that she knew that none of the marines that she passed in the hallways were laughing at her or had meant her any harm.
'Wait 'till I see you Charlotte', she thought to herself as she reached Weir's office doorway.
Weir looked up as Ellie knocked and she smiled and ushered her inside.
"Ellie, you look great…you're enjoying your sick leave after all then?", Weir asked thinking just how…happy Ellie looked, if happy was the correct description.
"Yes, I feel much better for the rest", Ellie replied and Weir nodded.
"That's good. So what can I do for you?", she asked and Ellie smiled.
"I just thought you should know that the city is safe from Allen now. Last night I, well I…you know…I'd rather not say for now who it was that I was with…", she said, blushing as she wondered how Lorne would react if she told everyone that it was him that had 'done the deed'.
"Ellie, knowing you and the city are safe is enough for me…you don't need to divulge private information. If you say the problem is sorted then I believe you", Weir said and Ellie smiled, unable to stop beaming and Weir thought that whoever the man was, he had certainly perked Ellie up.
She was positively glowing.
"I'll let Colonel Sheppard know", Weir added, wondering briefly if it was possibly John seeing as he and Ellie had once been involved.
Ellie nodded and stood.
"Thanks".
"Enjoy the rest of your free time then", Weir said.
"I will", Ellie replied, then asked, "Is Charlotte not around, I could do with having a word with her?"
"Ah no, she reported in as sick", Weir replied and Ellie nodded and left the office.
"I'll just bet she did", she muttered under her breath.
Lorne and Lt. Franks were heading back to the armoury to return their P-90's.
Now that their security sweep shift was over they had no need of the weapons and as they returned them to the cabinets Franks could stand it no longer.
"Are you okay Sir?", he asked and Lorne regarded him.
"Yeah…why do you ask?", he replied and Franks shrugged.
"Well, it's just that I couldn't help noticing that you kinda grinned the whole way through our patrol and I wondered if something was amusing you Sir".
Lorne smiled.
"Ahh…I see", he replied, then added, "No, nothing's amusing me Lieutenant, I'm just in an exceptionally good mood this morning, that's all".
"Right", Franks said, not sounding convinced and Lorne laughed as they left the armoury.
Ellie had breakfast in the mess hall, hoping to see Lyssa but there was no sign of her friend.
Deciding to search her out at some point, it was lonely being off sick when everyone else was working, Ellie disposed of her food tray and then went and got two coffees and headed for Lorne's office.
She hovered in his doorway for a moment, content to merely observe him rummaging in a filing cabinet, whilst he remained unaware of her presence.
'Jeez but he's gorgeous', she thought happily, 'And he wants me too…bonus!'.
Just then Lorne looked up, smiling at her as she held up the coffees.
"Do you have time for a break?", she asked, suddenly feeling shy as his sparkling blue eyes bore into hers.
"Sure…come in…I was hoping you would stop by", he said and as she moved forward he took his cup from her.
Their fingers brushed and Ellie almost forgot to breathe and she cleared her throat and took a sip of her drink to try and hide the eagerness in her eyes.
"I got your note", she said and Lorne regarded her silently, waiting for her to carry on.
"Are you…are you busy this evening?", she asked tentatively.
"No", Lorne replied and Ellie looked up, her eyes meeting his again.
"Do you….", she began, but he cut her short.
"Yes", he said and Ellie laughed.
"Okay, wanna meet me up on lookout point 3 then and we can take a walk?".
"What time?", Lorne asked and she replied,
"I'm free all day…you tell me".
Lorne ran through his schedule in his mind and said,
"1900?".
Ellie smiled at his military style response.
"Seven o'clock it is then".
They both took a sip of their drinks just as Sheppard appeared in the doorway.
He stared at Ellie for a moment and she realised that he looked a little…stressed? Fed up? Annoyed? She couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hey", he said and both Lorne and Ellie said,
"Hey", back.
"Why aren't you resting?", Sheppard asked and Ellie grinned.
"I am…drinking coffee with Major Lorne is very…restful", she replied, avoiding looking at Lorne for fear that she would blush instantly.
Sheppard made a kind of grunting noise before looking at Lorne.
"Do you have one of those things that puts holes in stuff?", he asked and Lorne smiled.
"You mean a hole punch Sir?".
"Yeah, that's it", Sheppard answered as Lorne reached around to his desk and passed him the piece of office equipment he wanted.
"I'll bring this back…at some point", Sheppard said and Lorne nodded, knowing full well that he would have to go and retrieve the punch himself the next time he needed it.
"I'll see you", Sheppard said, leaving the office and Ellie frowned.
"Do you think he's okay?", she asked and Lorne shrugged.
"He hates these paperwork days…that's all it is I'm sure", he said and Ellie nodded, her mind not really on Sheppard anyway…she was more concerned with Lorne and what they might do after their walk.
"So how are you feeling this morning?", Lorne asked, "Not sore or…anything….?", he trailed off, colour staining his cheeks as he realised what he had said and as Ellie smiled he added, "I meant with last night being like your first time…again…and…", then he gave up as he realised that he was just burying himself deeper.
"I'm fine…and certainly not too sore to do it all again…tonight…", Ellie said boldly, then she blushed as the thought crossed her mind that Lorne might think that she was being too forward.
"I…um…that is, if you….want…", she started but trailed off as Lorne grinned at her and stepped a little closer to her.
He bent and put his mouth close to her ear as he whispered,
"I want…".
Ellie was about to turn her face to his to meet his lips with hers when voices in the corridor made them move apart.
"I should let you get on with your paperwork", Ellie said and Lorne nodded.
"I'll see you later then", he said and she smiled at him.
When she left his office she saw Lyssa a little further along the corridor and called out to her, frowning when her friend hurried on along without even turning around.
'Maybe she and John had a row', Ellie thought and so decided to leave chasing Lyssa for now as she may not want to talk.
She headed back to her room to try and decide what to wear for her date with Lorne that evening.
Ellie stepped out onto lookout point 3, her stomach dancing in anticipation and she sighed happily as she looked out over the ocean from what was one of the highest points of the city.
In the distance she heard a rumble of thunder and she felt the air suddenly grow close around her.
She thought she felt a spot of rain and she glanced at her watch, hoping that Lorne wasn't going to be long as they may have to cut short their walk if it started raining.
Just as a streak of lightening lit up the sky, Lorne stepped out onto the balcony and her heart gave a jolt of awareness as she noticed that he had changed into jeans and a T-shirt with a checked shirt over the top.
"Hi", he said, frowning at the colour of the sky.
"Hi", Ellie replied.
Lorne moved to her side and she said,
"Oh, I forgot to tell you this morning that I went to see Elizabeth and I told her that the city should be safe now…I didn't tell her who had…um…you know".
Lorne smiled at her.
"I don't mind if you tell people that it was me…I was honoured that you wanted me", he said and Ellie realised that she could fall in love with this man very quickly. That was if she wasn't already past the point of no return!
She reached out and touched his face and as their lips met in a gentle kiss, the rain began to fall around them but neither seemed to notice.
Lorne pushed Ellie back against the wall and pinned her arms either side of her head, his mouth going to her neck, his teeth nipping at the sensitive skin there.
Ellie arched her back, closing her eyes as she tipped her face up toward the falling rain.
She moaned, pushing against Lorne's grip, wanting to touch him but he wouldn't release her.
He pressed himself against her and she felt his growing hardness against her stomach.
Lightening flashed across the sky and the atmosphere around them became charged.
"I want you…right now", Lorne breathed against her ear and Ellie opened her mouth to reply but before she could, he kissed her, his tongue twirling against hers in a way that had heat spiralling to the pit of her stomach and she raised a leg and rubbed the inside of her thigh against the outer side of his in an effort to get closer to him.
It was then Lorne's turn to moan and he finally released her arms so that he could touch her.
One hand gripped one of her hips and the other hooked itself under her raised thigh, lifting her slightly and pulling her in tighter against his hardening shaft.
Lorne had never felt himself lose control so quickly with a woman…all he could think about was sinking his erection deep into Ellie's soft warm body and he tore his mouth from hers as his hands began to push her dress up her thighs.
Ellie pushed Lorne's shirt from his shoulders, frustrated when it snagged at his elbows and she tugged.
Taking the hint, Lorne let go of her just long enough to shrug out of the shirt and to pull his T-shirt over his head.
As soon as his chest was bare Ellie's hands caressed it, gliding over his skin as it became wet from the rain.
Lorne wanted to feel his skin against hers and, unwilling to waste time undoing the buttons on the front of her dress, he simply pulled the two sides apart, sending the buttons flying off onto the balcony floor and revealing her pale pink lace bra, her full breasts aching for his touch and Ellie gasped at his action, her eyes going to his and she was a little taken aback by the raw desire that she saw there.
She hadn't realised that Lorne felt so passionately about her but the realisation that he did emboldened her and she reached for the zipper on his jeans, pleased when he groaned as she lowered the zip and pushed her hand inside.
Her palm closed around his erection and Lorne closed his eyes and rolled his hips, pressing himself against her hand.
His hands skimmed up her sides and then he cupped the undersides of her breasts, his thumbs flicking across her hardened nipples and Ellie groaned and bit gently at his bottom lip.
Another flash of lightening illuminated them momentarily and thunder rolled across the sky as Lorne moved his hands back down her body.
He had only torn her dress open to her waist and so he tugged at the hem of it, wanting to get at her panties and Ellie pulled her hand from his jeans and began to push them and his shorts down to his lean hips.
She gasped again though as she suddenly felt Lorne push her panties to one side and then his fingers were against her moist folds and she felt her legs go weak as he stroked her.
"God Ellie…", Lorne groaned, his mouth hot against her ear and Ellie gripped his arms to keep herself steady.
"Evan…I cant wait…please…", she begged and Lorne felt his blood rush through his veins at the mere thought of making her his again.
He lifted her and she wrapped her legs around him, her arms going around his neck and then she could feel the head of his manhood pushing against her opening and she bit her lip to try and stop herself from crying out.
As the rain began to pelt down even harder upon them and a thunder clap echoed overhead, Lorne rolled his hips upward and made her his once more with one hard thrust and Ellie could not prevent the cry that escaped her lips and she buried her face in his neck.
"Are you…", Lorne began but she cut him off,
"I'm fine…don't stop Evan…please…", she moaned and Lorne thrust against her again, a moan escaping his own lips.
In the back of his mind Lorne knew that he should stop…that he never should have started this out here. Anyone could catch them at it for one thing and for another, they weren't taking any precautions…he could get Ellie pregnant.
The very thought of that made Lorne groan like some kind of primal animal and he surged against her again.
Ellie felt overwhelmed by the feelings Lorne was evoking in her. Each of his thrusts felt like heaven and she could feel her body losing control as he gripped her buttocks in his hands and pounded in and out of her relentlessly.
She briefly thought about the fact that Lorne wasn't wearing any protection but the thought was fleeting as suddenly the tight coil in the pit of her stomach began to unravel and she climaxed, crying out loudly as lightening flashed all around them.
Lorne wasn't far behind her and he buried his face in the crook of her neck as he came, moaning loudly.
When it was over and their breathing returned to normal, Lorne lifted his head and looked at her. They were both soaking wet from the rain and he kissed the tip of her nose.
"When did it start to rain?", he asked and Ellie giggled.
"We should get inside and get dry…I don't want you to catch a chill", Lorne said, pressing his mouth to hers as he lifted her body off of his and her feet touched the ground again.
As Lorne bent and grimaced as he pulled his wet T-shirt back over his head, Ellie pulled the two sides of her dress together then sighed as she remembered that he had torn it apart.
Lorne looked at her, his cheekbones colouring and he retrieved the fallen buttons and handed them to her.
"I'm sorry…I don't know what came over me", he said, handing her his checked shirt to put on over her dress.
"That's okay…just don't rip every dress I come on a date with you in otherwise I'll have none left", she joked as they began to move inside and Lorne smiled, hoping that meant that there would be lots more lovemaking to come!
They went back to Ellie's quarters and she quickly dried her hair before turning to face Lorne.
"You really should get out of those wet clothes Major", she said, her tone teasing and Lorne smiled.
"As should you Doctor".
They moved toward one another, peeling items of clothing from each others bodies. They were naked when Lorne took Ellie's face in his hands gently.
"I wanted to say I was sorry…", he said and Ellie looked at him.
"For what?", she asked, frowning and he kissed her, wanting to erase the look of worry that she now wore.
"Just now…we didn't use any protection…that was my fault…and I'm sorry", he said and Ellie ran her hands up his arms.
"It was my fault too…I could have said something…but I didn't", she said and Lorne pulled her closer.
"If anything comes of it, you will tell me wont you…? I mean, I'll be here for you and support you…", he trailed off as Ellie smiled at him.
"If anything comes of it of course I'll tell you…", she said and Lorne nodded, pulling her toward the bed.
"Time to get you warmed up", he said and Ellie smiled, wondering if she should tell him that one look from him was enough to raise her temperature to boiling point but as his mouth covered hers and he pressed her into the mattress she realised that talking could wait until later…much later.
